When it comes to our view of the creator and how he deals with us, many think Yah is sitting
on his throne ready and waiting to steer our lives directly. Like when we pray, we picture
Yah leaning forward and saying, “Your prayer is granted, my servant,” or some such thing,
like a genie in a lamp. And then he probably reaches out a hand, which he wriggles to bring
that prayer to reality. And we believe that he’s doing this for each and every individual
who prays to him. Now I’m sure he’s capable of that, but that’s not quite how it works.
Yah isn’t directly orchestrating people’s lives, or doling out punishment on a case
by case basis after raking his eye through the earth, scouring it for infringements.
That’s like thinking he is manually sending the sun and moon along their courses using
his hands, or blowing tornadoes down from the sky with his pursed lips. Now I’m sure
he can do those things too, but just because he can doesn’t mean that he does. And history,
that is the scriptural record, shows that he has only dealt directly with a scant few
from our storied past. But as time wore on, he withdrew his presence from this earth little
by little and ceased to be actively involved in the lives of any of his servants in a direct
and personal way. Instead, his dealings with his servants are
now automated, though much of those dealings have been from the very beginning. You see,
Yah has long established the most sophisticated set of algorithms ever imagined to order the
lives of his followers, similar to the way he has ordered nature itself. And, as with
everything else, the very idea of algorithms has been co-opted by the Devil. First, let’s
see how an algorithm is defined. A Google definition gives us the sterilized sense and
leaves much to be desired: al·go·rithm
ˈalɡəˌriT͟Həm/ noun
a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations,
especially by a computer. Whereas this wiki entry gets more to the point
we’re driving at: In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm
is a self-contained sequence of actions to be performed.
Hmm. “A self-contained sequence of actions to be performed.” Life contains these in
great abundance. In The Covenant Law of Yah Part 9, I hinted
at this algorithm when I said of Yah: “In the book of Isaiah we are told that whenever
his word goes out it accomplishes the task it is sent to accomplish.
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters
the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater: So shall my word be that goes forth out
of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
The Algorithm of Life is basically summed
up in those two verses. In other words, when Yah speaks something, anything, a series of
actions either immediately or eventually results without him having to lift a finger. Thereafter,
nature, people, circumstances in general, and many other factors will begin to line
up to bring about Yah’s words, and we see this from the very first book in Scripture,
during creation itself. These are essentially algorithms in play: a self-contained sequence
of actions that are performed according to the words Yah spoke.
When we look at many, many Scripture passages, like Deuteronomy 28 for instance, the blessings
and curses, we see that all of the things that affected the people of Israel through
the centuries occurred without Yah’s direct intervention. All he had to do was speak those
things once, either himself, through Moses, some other prophet, or what have you, and
circumstances would unfold and powerful nations would eventually sweep in to play their role,
living out the dictates of the algorithm to a T.
Now, while this Algorithm of Life operates at a macro level, affecting Israelites as
a nation due to their sins and bringing enemies and ill circumstances against them and those
joined to them, the algorithm also works at the micro level. Meaning, your actions, choices,
and what goes on in your heart triggers Yah’s algorithm on a personal level. You see, what
we do in this walk with Yah causes the algorithm to create reactionary events in our lives
that will either prosper our way, or nudge us back on the right path. But that nudging
isn’t always slight. It works like this: Yah’s laws, and everything
he has spoken that comes with blessings or curses, reward or punishment, creates a specific
set of algorithms, and we, as believers, are automatically affected by the dictates of
those algorithms. The same is true for everyone mentioned in Scripture. Prophecies merely
frame the outworking of a specific algorithm, detailing how certain curses, punishments,
consequences, or rewards and blessings will unfold. But everything operates within the
structure of the algorithm. So, say you receive new information and come
to great light on a certain subject, and it sparks this overwhelming desire to strive
harder to live a righteous life, and you start giving your all to Yah, making good on the
covenant we agreed to at Sinai. But the fire of discovery that raged inside you initially
starts to die down after a while, and you start to lose your zeal and, in a way, backslide
back to complacency. This in turn causes you to halfheartedly make attempts to live righteously.
And you even make up excuses for why you’re deliberately breaking one law or another.
Sooner or later, these deliberate actions will trigger Yah’s algorithm, which is in
place to make course corrections in our lives and reorder our steps.
You’ll soon see that life will automatically toss you a series of events that will stem
from the very sin (or sins) you’ve committed. In other words, certain circumstances will
begin to work outward from the very law you knowingly broke. For instance, if it involved
the breaking of the Sabbath due to work, then work might become much more difficult for
you, or even scarce, and financial troubles may arise. You may not even be able to go
to work due to a sudden injury or what have you. Or if the sin involved lying, then somewhere
down the line, you will be lied to, but because you believed the lie, hardships will result
from your decision to trust in what was said. This last example is what triggered the algorithm
that affected Jacob’s life. He deceived his father Isaac by pretending to be his brother
Esau in order to receive the blessing of the Firstborn. Later, his uncle Laban deceived
him through marriage promises, among other things, and ended up making a fortune on his
extended labor. And the birthright deception also created such a rift between him and his
brother that Jacob feared for his life and the lives of his family and servants for a
long time, as they were under constant threat from an envious and vengeful Esau. This is
the algorithm in full effect. Now, the very opposite is true of the algorithm.
Some of you will find that when you are truly faithful, striving with your all to do the
will of Yah and live according to his desires, life will be increasingly easy to navigate.
And any stumbling blocks people try to throw at you will have little or no affect. If you’re
fired from a job, a better one comes along. If you make a wrong turn, a better more scenic
route opens up. If someone steals from you, the algorithm adversely affects them while
greater opportunities open up for you. The concept of the spiritual algorithm is
something Yah started to reveal to me within the past year or so, and as I’ve delved
deeper into it, I have received more and more insight and I can instantly recognize various
algorithms at work in the lives of people around me, particularly those who complain
of certain hardships; hardships that are specific to things they’ve admitted to doing wrong.
So, in closing, be aware of these working algorithms and fall in line with the will
of the Most High, or you will activate an algorithm that will begin to cause you to
fall in line whether you like it or not. Shalom.
