Prime Time

When is the best time to make changes?

A few months back my daughter Miranda got married.  She picked a date where all of the numbers were divisible by two or five, because she likes multiples of those numbers.  My other daughter, Savannah likes multiples of three and ten.  However, whenever they asked me what I liked multiples of, I told them that I do not have a number that I like multiples of.  I like prime numbers. (Numbers that are only multiples of themselves and one.)

I like prime numbers, because they are individuals that stand alone.  All other numbers are only composites of prime numbers.  I like prime numbers so much, that I was thrilled, that she was thinking of getting married in 2017.  I knew instantly, that this was a prime number.  I also knew all of the dates in 2017, that she could select to be made up entirely of prime numbers.  There are even dates composed of only prime numbers, that when you combine all of their digits into a string, that the string is a prime number.  One of those dates would have been the optimum prime time, as far as I was concern.

I call any time, that is composed of only prime numbers, prime time.  Needless to say, that prime time does not occur very frequently.  Especially, if you take it to the point of stringing prime numbers together to create another prime number.

Of course, when most people hear of prime time, they do not think of dates, or times, that are composed of only prime numbers.  They think of the optimum time for an event, where attendance is likely to be highest, and conditions are the best for the event.  That is why, the 7 pm to 10 pm (1900 to 2200) time slot is called "Prime Time" by television broadcasters.

In like manner, people are often wanting to make changes to their life, when it is the prime time for making those changes.  They are often left waiting endlessly to make those changes, because they do not know how to determine the prime time, for making those changes.  So how can they tell, when it is prime time for making those changes?

The best way for the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) to know when prime time has arrived, is to ask the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).  When King David asked the Father of Truth, if it was prime time to meet the invading Philistines in battle, the Father of Truth told him that it was, and King David won the victory over them (2 Samuel 5:18-21).  Yet, when the Philistines invaded a second time, the Father of Truth told King David to not meet them in battle, but to instead lay an ambush for the Philistines from the mulberry trees, and King David again won the victory over them (2 Samuel 5:22-25).  So also should the Children of Truth ask the Father of Truth, with confidence that He will answer them, for the wisdom to know, when it is the prime time for them to take action, and what action to take (James 1:5-7).

For this reason, the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) did not always do things, when others thought that he should.  For those who do not know the Father of Truth, immediately always seems like the right time to do, what needs doing (John 7:2-6).  Yet, the Man of Truth waited until it was prime time, before he did, what needed doing (John 7:7-10).

He was just doing what his Father does.  The Father of Truth did not send the Man of Truth to this Earth, until it was the prime time to do so (Galatians 4:4-5).  He will not send him back again to reign over everything, until it is prime time to do so (Ephesians 1:10).

The Man of Truth knew when it was prime time, because he had the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) living in him.  The Spirit of Truth told him, when it was prime time to prepare to confront the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), and overcome his temptations (Luke 4:1-13).  The Spirit of Truth told him, when it was prime time to announce to the world, that he was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 4:14-21).

The Children of Truth also have the Spirit of Truth living in them.  The Spirit of Truth lives in all of the Children of Truth (Romans 8:9-11).  The Spirit of Truth lives in all of the Children of Truth, so they can be heirs with the Man of Truth (Galatians 4:5-7).  The Spirit of Truth is the seal, that they will receive an inheritance, when it is prime time for them to do so (Ephesians 1:11-14).

So the Children of Truth can know what to do, and when it is prime time to do it.  They can be like the men of Issachar, who knew, when it was the prime time for Israel to make David their king (1 Chronicles 12:31-32).  The Father of Truth has plans for their lives (Jeremiah 29:11).  The Spirit of Truth will show them the plans of the Father of Truth for their lives, so that they will know when it is prime time (John 16:13-15).

The Children of Truth can position themselves to clearly hear the Spirit of Truth.  The Father of Truth has given the Spirit of Truth to the Children of Truth, so they can keep the commandments of the Man of Truth (John 14:15-21).   It is being led by the Spirit of Truth, that makes them the Children of Truth (Romans 8:14-16).  They will walk in the Spirit of Truth, by being led by the Spirit of Truth, instead of trying to keep the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), in the power of their own flesh (Galatians 5:16-18).

The Children of Truth can keep the Law of Truth, by walking in the Spirit of Truth.  The Spirit of Truth makes it possible for the Children of Truth to walk in the commandments of the Law of Truth (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  When they walk in the Spirit of Truth, then they keep the righteousness of the Law of Truth (Romans 8:1-4).  The fruit of walking in the Spirit of Truth, will keep them from doing anything, that is contrary to the Law of Truth (Galatians 5:22-25).

The Children of Truth can do these things, if they will seek after the will of the Father of Truth.  Like Ezra, they will know when it is prime time, if they prepare their hearts to seek to carry out the commandments of the Law of Truth (Ezra 7:8-10).  If they will seek after the Father of Truth with all of their heart, then He will answer them when they pray (Jeremiah 29:12-13).  The Father of Truth will come near to them, if they will come near to Him, by resisting the Father of Lies, and submitting to His will, that He has expressed in the Book of Truth (The Bible) (James 4:7-10).

The Children of Truth can know what to do, and when it is prime time to do it, if they will not work against the Spirit of Truth.  They must not vex the Spirit of Truth, by rebelling against the commandments of the Father of Truth (Isaiah 63:8-10).  They must not resist the Spirit of Truth, by rejecting what is written in the Law of Truth, like those who crucified the Man of Truth (Acts 7:51-53).  They must not grieve the Spirit of Truth, by giving any place in their lives for anything, that is from the Father of Lies (Ephesians 4:25-30).

Lastly, the Children of Truth must take action when it is prime time to do so.  They must not wait for perfect conditions, but rather take action, because they trust the Father of Truth to give them success (Ecclesiastes 11:4-6).  They must stop making excuses for not taking action (Proverbs 26:13-16). Like Zerubbabel, the Spirit of Truth will help them to accomplish the will of the Father of Truth, no matter how large the task is, and how little they can do at the beginning (Zechariah 4:6-10).

Often people think of New Year's Day as the prime time to make changes in their lives.  They see New Year's Day as a time to start over.

For some things this is really true.  It is the start of a new year, and for things like taxes, the books are literally cleared.  People often see this as a prime time to make changes to their diet and exercise program (or start one).  It is also a prime time for starting any type of year long project, like a plan for reading through the entire Book of Truth.

Yet, they will not succeed, unless they have resolution (firmness of purpose) in doing so.  For this reason, these changes that people set out to start on New Year's Day, are called New Year's Resolutions.

There is a resolution that you can keep.  There is no need to wait for New Year's Day to smash and burn everything, that is destroying your life.

The Man of Truth died and rose again, when it was prime time for him to do so (Luke 18:31-33).  The Father of Truth sent him die and rise again at the prime time, so you could come into the House of Truth (Romans 5:6-10).

The Father of Truth may have been overlooking your ignorance, of Him raising the Man of Truth from the dead, but now is the prime time for you to come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:30-32).  It is prime time for you to put the Man of Truth in charge of your life, because you believe, that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  Today is prime time for you to come into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Come into the House of Truth!
