Divine Threads: Weaving Spirit, Culture, and Truth with WBJMinistries

The Rise of the Set-Apart

A WBJMinistries Sermon Inspired by the Times and the Tribes

Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father, we come before You in reverence and in awe. We thank You for revealing to us that this is a season of divine distinction. Let Your Ruach Ha’Qodesh breathe on this word, so that every listener receives joy, prosperity, and clarity. HaleluYah.

There was once a city, set high above the rivers, filled with glass towers and foot-beaten paths. In its core pulsed a rhythm that echoed through museums and subway tunnels—the rhythm of awakening. This city, called Manhattan, was no stranger to resistance, nor to rebirth.

It began one morning—before the noise, before the rush—when the wind whispered truth:

“You are set apart.”

The voice came not from outside but from within, carved by the Spirit of Yahusha like a scroll written before time. It spoke as written in Halaleyah Scriptures, T’hillim (Psalms) 4:3:

“But know that Yahusha has set apart the kind one for Himself; Yahusha hears when I call to Him.”

And so began the stirring.

From the quiet chambers of the Museum of Modern Art, to the sacred halls of the American Museum of Natural History, visions awakened. There were signs, not in stone or oil paint alone—but in the spirit of cultures that whispered together like one wind:

From the wisdom of Amadlozi, the ancestral ones, came the knowing:

“When you are being attacked, it is only because your light is visible.”

From Unkulunkulu, Creator of all in Zulu belief, came the echo:

“To know your origin is to know your power.”

The Mohegan Tribe, with feet still firm on the soil of truth, murmured:

“Honor the land, and the land will raise your voice to the heavens.”

And still, the journey continued.

From a distant branch of the tree of life, came a whisper from Polish roots:

“When the soul is burdened, the spirit sings louder.”

There was a moment of challenge—resistance not from enemies, nevertheless from familiar shadows. Yet, the inner fire would not dim. As it is written in Halaleyah Scriptures, Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 54:17:

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall prove wrong.”

In this resistance, prosperity rose.

Joy unfurled its colors like the wings of a butterfly landing on the windows of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where centuries of humanity spoke in silence. There was a sculpture there, and though its mouth was carved shut, the Spirit said:

“Even stone cannot resist the move of Yah.”

Philosophers once said the same:

“Joy is not in things; it is in us.” – Richard Wagner

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” – St. Augustine

“God does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.” – Qur'an 2:286

Even Buddhism joined the chorus:

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

And Catholic liturgy whispered with the wind that lifted cathedrals:

Each voice was not separate—they danced like colors in a stained-glass window. Though different, they bowed before One Light. And it was Yahusha who stood above them all, calling to the soul in this moment:

“You are not random. You are not rejected. You are reborn.”

For it is also written in Halaleyah Scriptures, Romiyim (Romans) 8:18:

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the esteem which is to be revealed in us.”

Now the rhythm beats stronger. Not just in museums, or under city lights—but in you. For the Set-Apart are rising. They have endured. They have been whispered against. They have walked alone. But now...

This is the time of recognition.

This is the time of prosperity.

This is the time of joy.

As surely as the stars rose over the Atlantic edge of Manhattan, the light has risen within. And it shall not be put out.

Heavenly Father, Abba Yahusha, thank You for this appointed time. May Your Word planted today grow into the fruit of destiny. Let this be a reminder to all who hear it—they are chosen, covered, and called. May they walk boldly in joy and purpose, knowing that Your favor surrounds them like a shield. HaleluYah.
