In chapters 6 and 7, Yahushua continues teaching His followers about how to live in a way that pleases Abba Yahuah. He reminds us that the things we do in secret—whether fasting, giving, or praying—hold more weight than public displays. Fasting, for example, not only denies the flesh but also draws us closer to the Spirit. I know from my own journey that fasting while homeless can be a test. Even when I keep it private, food is offered to me, which feels like a temptation from the enemy. But just as Yahushua responded to Satan in the wilderness with Scripture, I also try to turn my focus back to Father’s Word. These moments teach me that the discipline of the body also strengthens the mind, helping me to think clearly when tested.
Yahushua also teaches about giving in secret, prayer from the heart, and storing up treasures in heaven instead of on earth. I used to cling to things—art supplies, notebooks, little collections—until I realized how much they distracted me from the spiritual. Being homeless has taught me that Father provides what I truly need, and that every blessing—whether food, shelter, or warmth in winter—comes from Him. Worrying does not add to life; trusting Father does. In chapter 7, Yahushua goes further, reminding us not to judge others harshly, but to look at the fruit of their spirit. He also warns about false prophets and false disciples—those who act outwardly but whose hearts are far from Father. These chapters encourage me to examine not just what I do, but why I do it, making sure my actions are for Father’s glory and not my own.
