Shabbat Shalom Loved One!    (This study is attached for printing and at the website below)

 
Some of you have diligently sent me prayer concerns, letters and simple notes of encouragement. THANK YOU- I read them all; but I do have a difficult time having the time to answer you as I wish. Just know they are appreciated, prayed over and agreed with (With Billie and you) for all your shared prayer concerns—and we have believed with you and for your every situation- if you send it- know for certain we pray over it in agreement and speak the word for its guaranteed fulfillment!

Count it all joy- fiery trials and burdens bring us to our knees- seeking our Father- which brings Hope in His word of promise---which brings trust and faith –which brings our DECREE- which brings His presence which brings…His power to overcome all the plans of hell. These are the gist of how Father is leading by the power of His loving Spirit. I expect it will look like this--- Fiery trials and snares designed to kill, steal, and destroy- us and those we love. We then are running to our Father for refuge, direction and answers. Sometimes we will fast and pray as this always overcomes the enemy who has been assigned against us; sometimes we will draw near to our Father in worship, but eventually we must learn and use the Scriptures–first to have faith as a shield of protection; and next to decree the Word of Promise as a SWORD of the Ruach. These trials are for our good- our molding into overcoming believers. I believe this year will bring about a highly noticeable difference among the Body of Messiah. This year will separate those with Torah and His Spirit filling us and those with Torah only. We will also see many Christians that are Spirit filled become doers of the Torah and I believe the separation will continue from here forward- believers who have not humbled themselves and yielded their tongues to the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Set Apart Spirit) will be heaven bound in greater numbers---simply because they would not trust the Ruach with their tongues and build up their most holy FAITH! Faith is made from hope and is the very promise of hope (The Word) given by the living Elohim that has the seed within itself to produce what it was sent for- it will not return void from Him but will accomplish what it was sent for. (Isa 55:8)  “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares יהוה. (Isa 55:9)  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isa 55:10)  “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, (Isa 55:11) so is My Word that goes forth from my mouth – it does not return to me empty, but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for.

I expect as it gets vastly darker and “hopeless” for many this will be our best year to date on Planet Earth. Our Elohim is raising the standard against the enemy’s plans and schemes! Of course, the help is planned and given to those who will draw ever near with humble, obedient and repentant hearts. Once it is determined by the Ruach who those are that will seek Him with all their hearts and find Him- I have heard from more than one prophetic voice about this (once several years ago while in Costa Rica by a trusted prophetic voice); as gross darkness covers the people--- some will shine brighter and brighter as His light--- that is to say- I agree and believe this year will find some not only operating in the gifts of the Ruach with power and a demonstration of the power of Elohim (Not just pretty or eloquent words) which the demonstration will be absolute destruction of the enemy’s plans as Yahshua’s PRESENCE will be with them and what they speak will be as Elohim speaking. It could be likened to the fire by night or the cloud by day--- but it will be His presence! He is looking for a people that He can inhabit- I believe His eyes are looking for that people NOW. 

2 Ch 16:9 “For the eyes of יהוה diligently search throughout all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect to Him. Will you and I make ourselves ready and sanctify ourselves---touch no unclean thing—taking every thought captive to the obedience of Yahshua? Then alone will be crucified in messiah- we shall no longer live- but HE will dwell in us—That is His presence—when we decree a thing it comes to pass! Much like the fig tree with the pretty foliage but NO FRUIT is how I suspect He sees His body now—but that is about to change drastically for those who sanctify themselves and sell out--- ridding ourselves of MIXTURE- (Clean and unclean- fitting in as LUKEWARM) Recently I saw some very prophetic Holy Spirit filled believers who were told by Yahshua that He will have ONE QUESTION for each and every inhabitant of Earth- Did you learn to LOVE---first Yahweh- then people? Did you? Have I? These are serious if not startling questions that will determine our futures.

I am hearing of so many believers that are facing various trials from difficult economic times; to relationships shattered and health and personal issues---but remember the refiner’s fire burns hot and we are being molded as pure gold- so STAND- having done all we speak agreement with Yahweh and STAND! We are learning to rely on Him and His goodness and mercy and SPEAK agreement with His words in spite of the obvious facts! Many, including myself, are expectant of a great deliverance by the power of His might. Most of us have looked up in the sky and actually realize we are being sprayed like insects worldwide and the possibility looms (Likely planned) of inevitable economic collapse with the cabal of Pharaohs operating their monetary controls worldwide. We need His supernatural help, i.e. provision and doors open, (that no man can open or close) we aren’t any different than when we (our ancestors of the faith) were slaves in Egypt. Can we or should we deny the realities of our “planned demise and destruction?” Nope, but we can speak YHWH’s word, live in obedience and expectation despite the facts as we see them! Our Deliverer is indeed coming and we must develop our hearing and doing into what He instructs; as we will truly follow Him into the wilderness for time, times, and a half time- (3 ½ years) or perish in the desert. Here’s the play by play starting with the Anti-Messiah’s rule at the stopping of the sacrifices in Israel?: (Dan 7:25) and he (Anti-messiah) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (3 ½ years). (Dan 7:26)  But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. Continuing; (Dan 12:7)  And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed. (Dan 12:8)  And I heard, but I did not understand, so I said, “My master, what is the latter end of these matters?” (Dan 12:9)  And he said, “Go, Dani’ĕl, for the words are hidden and sealed till the time of the end1. Footnote: 1See v. 4 (Dan 12:10) Many (Comment: including and perhaps especially- us) shall be cleansed and made white, and refined. But the wrong shall do wrong – and none of the wrong shall understand, but those who have insight shall understand. (Dan 12:11)  “And from the time that which is continual (offering/sacrifice-which first must be started and then stopped to start the Great Tribulation which is time, (1 year) times, (2 years) and ½ (6 months)) is taken away, (Comment: this stopping of the continual sacrifice; which has not yet started, will start the GREAT TRIBULATION of 3 ½ years) and the abomination that lays waste is set up, is one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (3 ½ years) (Dan 12:12)  “Blessed is he who is waiting earnestly (expectantly), and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. (Feast of Tabernacles) (Dan 12:13)  “But you go your way till the end. And rest, and arise to your lot at the end of the days.” 
 
Note YHWH prepares a place for us and He provides for us! HalleluYAH!
 
So here we go: (Rev 12:6) and the woman (us) fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. (Rev 12:7)  And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought, (Rev 12:8) but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer. (Rev 12:9)  And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads the entire world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him. (Rev 12:10)  And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim, 1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1 See 11:15.
 
(Rev 12:11)  “And they (us) overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Rev 12:12)  “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.” (Rev 12:13)  And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Rev 12:14)  And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. (Comment: supernatural or naturally makes no difference- He gets the glory; HalleluYAH; because the place is prepared for us!) (Rev 12:15)  And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Rev 12:16)  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth (Comment: I expect this “flood” is people and like Korah they are rebellious against YHWH and chasing us—hmm not a good idea for them as the earth opens up and receives them like it did Korah). (Rev 12:17)  And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah. (Comment: note who hasatan makes war against – only a remnant- that does 2 critical things for their identification as enemies of hasatan- (1) have the testimony of Yahushua (Jesus) and (2) guard or keep His commands- Torah; obviously hasatan does not make war against everyone- just those who stand against him)
 
It seems our Creator is serious about His Torah! You know- the one about repenting- we may indeed have to go through these serious times and learn much about the understanding of His glory- a revealing to us of how good and merciful truly is our Elohim! Our Creator changes not that only leaves us with the option of becoming more like Him as we to die to our own ways to become more like Him and His bride- OR- we will only wish we had---Let’s take a quick peek and REVIEW what we have discussed often: all about us becoming the bride. Seems we are commanded to change and we know He will not change- EVER- we must TESHUVAH- repent- turn our stiff necks direction away from inherited lies and things there are no profit in- traditions that make us worship Him IN VAIN! (Jeremiah 16:16)  “See, I am sending for many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that I shall send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. (Jeremiah 16:17)  “For my eyes are on all their ways; they have not been hidden from my face, nor has their crookedness been hidden from my eyes. (Jeremiah 16:18)  “And first I shall repay double for their crookedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the dead bodies of their disgusting matters, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.” (Jeremiah 16:19)  O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth and say, Our fathers have inherited only falsehood (lies), futility, and there is no value (No profit- it is VAIN!) in them.1 Footnote: 1S ee Ps. 147:19, Isa. 2:3, Isa. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Rom. 2:20, Rom. 3:2, Rom. 9:4.
 
Here is where Yahushua backs up what He promises above in Jeremiah 16: (Mat 15:7) Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, (Mat 15:8)  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Mat 15:9)  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
 
And here: (Mar 7:6)  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Mar 7:7)  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Mar 7:8)  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. (Mar 7:9)  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. (Comment: Traditions or lies we have inherited- like Lent which is 40 days of weeping for Tammuz; Christmas, which is the winter solstice sun god worship day; Easter which is the fertility goddess sacrifice of new born babies etc. still want to keep YOUR traditions you/we inherited?) He says: (Deuteronomy 18:9) “When you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.
 
And again; (Jeremiah 10:1) Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl. (Question: Are we grafted in by believing in Yahushua or not? If we are we might want to follow His pattern and OBEY HIM!) (Jeremiah 10:2)  Thus said יהוה, Do not learn the way of the gentiles, 1 and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.2 Footnotes: Lev. 18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezekiel 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. Dt. 4:19 & 17:3. (Jeremiah 10:3)  For the prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. (Jeremiah 10:4)  “They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple. (Jeremiah 10:5)  “They are like a rounded post, and they do not speak. They have to be carried, because they do not walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, nor is it in them to do any good.” (Jeremiah 10:6)  There is none like You, O יהוה. You are great, and great is Your Name in might.
 
We are now required to turn our stiff necks and follow Him and His instructions (Torah)... Yah-chanan- (“John the Immerser” spoken as Hebrew) means Yah’s Mercy- and what did he come preaching? REPENT- TESHUVAH follow the King; as that is the only way to His mercy- Let’s look so we may bear good fruit ourselves- because the Kingdom of Heaven is nearer now; and we want to be found blameless at His appearing and NOT ASHAMED!
 
(Mat 3:1)  And in those days Yoḥanan the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Yehuḏah, (Mat 3:2) and saying, Repent, for the reign of the heavens has come near!” (Mat 3:3)  For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Yeshayahu, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of יהוה, make His paths straight.’ ”1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah. 40:3. (Mat 3:4) And Yoḥanan had a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey. (Mat 3:5)  Then Yerushalayim, and all Yehuḏah, and all the country around the Yardĕn went out to him, (Mat 3:6) and they were immersed by him in the Yardĕn, confessing their sins. (Mat 3:7)  And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? (Mat 3:8)  Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, (James 4:7) So then subject (submit to His Instructions- receive the engrafted word) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil 1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: Or adversary. (James 4:8)  Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9)  Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10)  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master, and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11)  Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge. (James 4:12)  There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
 
Remember loved one, we mentioned last week; we are likely the last day’s assembly of believers or His body, so it is quite probable that we have been deceived in certain areas of our lives. Here’s what He reminded me about again; seems that when we think all is okay- even IF we have plenty- we really have nothing at all… apart from Him.
 
(Rev 3:13)  “He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ (Rev 3:14) “And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1 Col. 1:15, Heb. 1:6. (Rev 3:15)  “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. (Rev 3:16)  “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:17)  “Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. (Rev 3:18)  “I advise you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, 1 (Trust- belief- faith in spite of what is seen) so that you become rich; and white garments (Robes of Righteousness that come from DOING the Gospel and OBEDIENCE to His Instructions-Torah), so that you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, (Filled with His Ruach which guides us into all truth) so that you see. Footnote: 1 Ps. 19:10, Ps. 119:72 & 127, Prov. 30:5. (Rev 3:19)  “As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent. (Rev 3:20)  “See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:21)  To him who overcomes I shall give to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Rev 3:22)He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ”
 
Last week we also read all about blessings and curses which are guaranteed by our responses to our Creator’s commands and Instructions (TORAH)! WE DILIGENTLY OBEY! Note: His blessings will overtake us- hehe we cannot get away from them! (I like that picture!)
 
(Deuteronomy 28:1)  “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth. (Deuteronomy 28:2)  And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim: (Deuteronomy 28:3) Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field. (Deuteronomy 28:4)  Blessed is the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your livestock – the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. (Deuteronomy 28:5)  “Blessed is your basket and your kneading bowl. (Deuteronomy 28:6)  Blessed are you when you come in, and blessed are you when you go out. (Deuteronomy 28:7)  “יהוה causes your enemies who rise against you to be smitten before your face – they come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. (Deuteronomy 28:8)  יהוה commands the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and shall bless you in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Deuteronomy 28:9)  “יהוה does establish you as a set-apart people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim and walk in His ways. (Deuteronomy 28:10)  “And all peoples of the earth shall see that the Name of יהוה is called upon you, and they shall be afraid of you. (Deuteronomy 28:11)  “And יהוה shall make you to have plenty of what is good, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land of which יהוה swore to your fathers to give you. (Deuteronomy 28:12)  “יהוה opens to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall lend to many nations, but you do not borrow. (Deuteronomy 28:13)  “And יהוה shall make you the head and not the tail. And you shall be only on top, and not be beneath, if you obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim, which I command you today, to guard and do. (Deuteronomy 28:14)  “And do not turn aside from any of the Words which I am commanding you today, right or left, to go after other mighty ones to serve them. (Deuteronomy 28:15)  “And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands and His laws which I command you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you: (Deuteronomy 28:16)  “Cursed are you in the city, and cursed are you in the field. (Deuteronomy 28:17)  “Cursed is your basket and your kneading bowl. (Deuteronomy 28:18)  “Cursed is the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. (Deuteronomy 28:19)  “Cursed are you when you come in, and cursed are you when you go out. (Deuteronomy 28:20)  “יהוה sends on you the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken Me. (Deuteronomy 28:21)יהוה makes the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. (Deuteronomy 28:22)  “יהוה smites you with wasting disease, and with inflammation, and with burning, and with extreme heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue you until you perish. (Deuteronomy 28:23)  “And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you iron.
 
 
Let’s sanctify ourselves, return to our First Love- His Holy Set-Apart Word- welcome His presence and become OVERCOMERS loved one; since His promise is to those that overcome! Now we turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Scriptures and receive His Instructions! Hallelu-YAH!
 
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures:   Netzavim “You are Standing”
Deuteronomy 29:9-31:30; Isaiah 61:10-63:9; Romans 10:1-13
 
Obedience promises what is revealed to us belong to us and our children FOREVER! Hallelu-YAH!
 
(Deuteronomy 29:9)  “Therefore you shall guard the words of this covenant, and do them, so that you prosper in all that you do. (Deuteronomy 29:10)  “All of you are standing today before יהוה your Elohim: your leaders, your tribes, your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’ĕl, (Deuteronomy 29:11)  your little ones, your wives, and your sojourner who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, (Deuteronomy 29:12)  so that you should enter into covenant with יהוה your Elohim, and into His oath, which יהוה your Elohim makes with you today, (Deuteronomy 29:13)  in order to establish you today as a people for Himself, and He Himself be your Elohim, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ. (Deuteronomy 29:14)  “And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, (Deuteronomy 29:15) but with him who stands here with us today before יהוה our Elohim, as well as with him who is not here with us today. (Deuteronomy 29:16)  “For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim (Misery- Egypt) and how we passed through the nations which you passed through, (Deuteronomy 29:17)  and you saw their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them, (Deuteronomy 29:18)  lest there should be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe, whose heart turns away today from יהוה our Elohim, to go and serve the mighty ones of these nations, lest there should be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood. (Deuteronomy 29:19)  “And it shall be, when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ in order to add drunkenness to thirst. (Deuteronomy 29:20)  “יהוה would not forgive him, but rather, the displeasure of יהוה and His jealousy shall burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall settle on him, and יהוה shall blot out his name from under the heavens. (Deuteronomy 29:21)  “And יהוה shall separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Torah. (Deuteronomy 29:22)  “And the generation to come of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, shall say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which יהוה has sent into it: (Deuteronomy 29:23)  ‘All its land is sulphur, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Seḏom and Amorah, Aḏmah and Tseḇoyim, which יהוה overthrew in His displeasure and His wrath.’ (Deuteronomy 29:24)  “And all nations shall say, ‘Why has יהוה done so to this land? What does the heat of this great displeasure mean?’ (Deuteronomy 29:25)  “And it shall be said, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of יהוה Elohim of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. (Deuteronomy 29:26)  ‘And they went and served other mighty onesand bowed themselves to them, mighty ones that they did not know and that He had not given to them, (Deuteronomy 29:27)  therefore the displeasure of יהוה burned against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. (Deuteronomy 29:28)  ‘And יהוה uprooted them from their land in displeasure, and in wrath, and in great rage, and cast them into another land, as it is today.’ (Deuteronomy 29:29)  “The secret matters belong to יהוה our Elohim, but what is revealed belongs to us and to our children forever, to do all the Words of this Torah.
 
Promise to the obedient Scattered Tribes- Yep- US! We are headed home with circumcised hearts! Life and death is set before us and our obedience brings life to us and our seed!
 
(Deuteronomy 30:1)  “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the gentiles where יהוה your Elohim drives you, (Deuteronomy 30:2)  and shall turn back to יהוה your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children, (Deuteronomy 30:3)  then יהוה your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where יהוה your Elohim has scattered you. (Deuteronomy 30:4)  “If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under the heavens, from there יהוה your Elohim does gather you, and from there He does take you. (Deuteronomy 30:5)  “And יהוה your Elohim shall bring you to the land which your fathers possessed and you shall possess it. And He shall do good to you, and increase you more than your fathers. (Deuteronomy 30:6)  “And יהוה your Elohim shall circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, to love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being, so that you might live, (Deuteronomy 30:7)  and יהוה your Elohim shall put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you. (Deuteronomy 30:8)  “And you shall turn back and obey the voice of יהוה and do all His commands which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 30:9)  “And יהוה your Elohim shall make you have excess in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground for good. For יהוה turns back to rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers, (Deuteronomy 30:10)  if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard His commands and His laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back to יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being. (Deuteronomy 30:11)  “For this command which I am commanding you today, it is not too hard for you, nor is it far off. (Deuteronomy 30:12)  “It is not in the heavens, to say, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’ (Deuteronomy 30:13)  “Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?’ (Deuteronomy 30:14)  “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it. (Deuteronomy 30:15)  See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil, (Deuteronomy 30:16)  in that I am commanding you today to love יהוה your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to guard His commands, and His laws, and His right-rulings. And you shall live and increase, and יהוה your Elohim shall bless you in the land which you go to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:17)  “But if your heart turns away, and you do not obey, and shall be drawn away, and shall bow down to other mighty ones and serve them, (Deuteronomy 30:18)  “I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish, you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are passing over the Yardĕn to enter and possess. (Deuteronomy 30:19)  “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.
 
 
Do Not Fear Loved Ones – Nor be discouraged!
 
(Deuteronomy 31:1)  And Mosheh went and spoke these words to all Yisra’ĕl, (Deuteronomy 31:2) and he said to them, “I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in. And יהוה has said to me, ‘You do not pass over this Yardĕn.’ (Deuteronomy 31:3)  “יהוה your Elohim Himself is passing over before you. He shall destroy these nations from before you and you possess them. Yehoshua himself is passing over before you, as יהוה has spoken. (Deuteronomy 31:4)  “And יהוה shall do to them as He did to Siḥon and to Oḡ, the sovereigns of the Amorites and their land, when He destroyed them. (Deuteronomy 31:5)  “And יהוה shall give them over to you, and you shall do to them according to all the command which I have commanded you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)  “Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be afraid of them. For it is יהוה your Elohim who is going with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:7)  And Mosheh called Yehoshua and said to him before the eyes of all Yisra’ĕl, “Be strong and courageous, for you are going with this people to the land which יהוה has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you are to let them inherit it. (Deuteronomy 31:8)  “And it is יהוה who is going before you, He Himself is with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:9)  And Mosheh wrote this Torah and gave it to the priests, the sons of Lĕwi, who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and to all the elders of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 31:10)  And Mosheh commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time, the year of release, at the Festival of Booths, (Tabernacles- the Season of our Joy) (Deuteronomy 31:11)  when all Yisra’ĕl comes to appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses, read this Torah before all Yisra’ĕl in their hearing. (Deuteronomy 31:12)  “Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your sojourner who is within your gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn to fear יהוה your Elohim and guard to do all the Words of this Torah. (Deuteronomy 31:13)  “And their children, who have not known it, should hear and learn to fear יהוה your Elohim as long as you live in the land you are passing over the Yardĕn to possess.” (Deuteronomy 31:14)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, the days have drawn near for you to die. Call Yehoshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, so that I command him.” And Mosheh and Yehoshua went and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting. (Deuteronomy 31:15)  And יהוה appeared at the Tent in a column of a cloud, and the column of a cloud stood above the door of the Tent. (Deuteronomy 31:16)  And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, you are about to sleep with your fathers. And this people shall rise and whore after the mighty ones of the strangers of the land into the midst of which they shall enter, and forsake me and break my covenant which I have made with them. (Deuteronomy 31:17)  “Then My displeasure shall burn against them in that day and I shall forsake them and hide my face from them, and they shall be consumed. And many evils and distresses shall come upon them, and it shall be said in that day, ‘Is it not because our Elohim is not in our midst that these evils have come upon us?’ (Deuteronomy 31:18)  “And I shall certainly hide my face in that day, because of all the evil which they have done, for they shall turn to other mighty ones. (Deuteronomy 31:19)  “And now write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Yisra’ĕl. Put it in their mouths, so that this song is to me for a witness against the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 31:20)  “And I shall bring them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they shall eat and be satisfied and be fat, then they shall turn to other mighty ones, and they shall serve them, and scorn me and break my covenant. (Deuteronomy 31:21)  “And it shall be, when many evils and distresses come upon them that this song shall answer before them as a witness. For it is not to be forgotten in the mouths of their seed, for I know their thoughts which they are forming today, even before I bring them to the land of which I swore to give them.” (Deuteronomy 31:22)  And Mosheh wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 31:23)  And He commanded Yehoshua son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous, for you are to bring the children of Yisra’ĕl into the land of which I swore to them, and I myself am with you.” (Deuteronomy 31:24)  And it came to be, when Mosheh had completed writing the Words of this Torah in a book, until their completion, (Deuteronomy 31:25)  that Mosheh commanded the Lĕwites, who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה, saying, (Deuteronomy 31:26)  “Take this Book of the Torah, and you shall place it beside the ark of the covenant of יהוה your Elohim, and it shall be there as a witness against you, (Deuteronomy 31:27)  for I myself know your rebellion and your stiff neck. See, while I am still alive with you today, you have been rebellious against יהוה, then how much more after my death? (Deuteronomy 31:28)  “Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, so that I speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them. (Deuteronomy 31:29)  “I know that after my death you shall do very corruptly and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil shall come to you in the latter days, because you do what is evil in the eyes of יהוה, to provoke Him through the work of your hands.” (Deuteronomy 31:30)  So Mosheh spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl the words of this song till their completion:
 
Let our light shine brighter and brighter as the world gets darker and darker and great darkness covers the people!
 
(Isaiah 61:10) I greatly rejoice in יהוה, my being exults in my Elohim. For He has put garments of deliverance on me, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:11)  For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the seed to shoot up, so the Master יהוה causes righteousness and praise to shoot up before all the nations! (Isaiah 62:1)  For Tsiyon’s sake I am not silent, and for Yerushalayim’s sake I do not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her deliverance as a lamp that burns. (Isaiah 62:2)  And the nations shall see your righteousness and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates. (Isaiah 62:3)  And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal head-dress in the hand of your Elohim. (Isaiah 62:4)  No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land is married. (Isaiah 62:5)  For as a young man marries a maiden, so shall your sons marry you. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your Elohim rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:6)  I have set watchmen on your walls, O Yerushalayim, all the day and all the night, continually, which are not silent. You, who remember יהוה, give yourselves no rest, (Isaiah 62:7) and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Yerushalayim praise in the earth. (Isaiah 62:8)  יהוה has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength, “No more do I give your grain to be food for your enemies, nor do sons of the foreigner drink your new wine, for which you have labored; (Isaiah 62:9)  but those gathering it shall eat it, and praise יהוה. And those collecting it shall drink it in my set-apart courts.” (Isaiah 62:10)  Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples! (Isaiah 62:11)  See, יהוה has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Tsiyon, ‘See, your deliverance has come; see, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.’ ” (Isaiah 62:12) And they shall be called, “The Set-apart People, the Redeemed of יהוה.” And you shall be called, “Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken.” (Isaiah 63:1)  Who is this coming from Eḏom, with garments of glowing colors from Botsrah, who is robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of His strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” (Isaiah 63:2)  Why is there red on your raiment, and your garments like one who treads in the winepress? (Isaiah 63:3)  “I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with me. And I trod them down in my displeasure, and I trampled them in my wrath. Their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have defiled all my raiment. (Isaiah  63:4)  “For a day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come. (Isaiah 63:5)  “And I looked, but there was none helping, and I was astonished that there was none upholding. So my own arm saved for me, and my wrath upheld me. (Isaiah 63:6)  “And I trod down peoples in my displeasure, and made them drunk in my wrath, and brought down their strength to earth.” (Isaiah 63:7)  Let me recount the kindnesses of יהוה and the praises of יהוה, according to all that יהוה has done for us, and the great goodness toward the house of Yisra’ĕl, which He has done for them according to His compassion, and according to His many kindnesses. (Isaiah 63:8)  And He said, “They are my people, children who do not act falsely.” And He became their Savior. (Isaiah 63:9)  In all their distress He was distressed, and the Messenger of His Presence saved them. In His love and in His compassion He redeemed them, and He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
 
Here’s a concept that I was shown some years ago and you may already understand but if not please consider carefully what I write below-
 
You and I must speak Yahshua (The word confessed) you must believe in your heart (not necessarily your head- Hallelu-Yah!) and believe Yahshua was raised from the dead (not so hard to believe!) you shall be delivered (saved- made whole, healed etc.- Greek word here is SOZO and it means deliverance from every attack and scheme and plan of hell in every situation that appears to have no hope based on current facts and what is seen- remember we are to walk by belief (faith and trust in His Word) not by what is seen- as what is seen (facts) are temporal OR temporary and subject to change- what is UNSEEN- our promises recorded in the word and Scriptures is ETERNAL and GUARANTEED- Heaven and Earth will indeed pass away but His WORD will remain forever! Hallelu-YAH! So speak and agree with His promise no matter what the facts appear like! The storms are real but are temporary if we agree with Him continually in word and action!
 
(Romans 10:1)  Truly brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to Elohim for Yisra’ĕl is for deliverance. (Romans 10:2)  For I bear them witness that they have an ardor for Elohim, but not according to knowledge. (Romans 10:3)  For not knowing the righteousness of Elohim, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to 1 the righteousness of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Or did not obey. (Romans 10:4)  Messiah is the goal 1 of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’ to everyone who believes. Footnote: Or end purpose; not termination. (Romans 10:5)  For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, “The man who does these shall live by them.” (Romans 10:6)  But the righteousness of belief speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah down; (Romans 10:7) “‘who shall descend into the abyss?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead. (Romans 10:8)  But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming: (Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע (the Word) and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (Romans 10:10)  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved. (Romans 10:11)  Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:12)  Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him. (Romans 10:13)  Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.(Comment: that is GOOD NEWS indeed!)
 
 
Loved One I pray that we may each look inwardly and turn- yes turn our own stiff necks toward Him and follow Him in loving obedience- that all the blessings He has planned for us may OVERTAKE US!

I pray you and I gain an ear to hear Him and the courage to obey Him! I pray that we draw ever close to our Creator so that none of us FEAR no matter what the “kings of the earth” do!
