Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
Included in this study is Psalm 91
decree and Bobby Conner’s teaching on drawing near to the SECRET PLACE.YHWH is
restoring all things; that includes us who were once the DRY BONES of Ezekiel’s
instructions! All who KNOW (Not know about) HIM and call on Him
will be delivered- when we seek Him with our whole hearts- we will find Him! HalleluYAH! A few days ago
a close friend of mine, who lives in Costa Rica, had a visitation from Yahusha.
He is going through great fiery trials personally and drawing near to our
coming King who warned him sternly about fleeing all idols in our lives. Allan
would appreciate your prayers and encouragement as he is a Canadian living in
Costa Rica and of course cannot get the right to work there and now has $6 to
his name; a great fiery trial. Pray for him as you are led and drop him a line of encouragement. See the
attachment where I have included his email.
Why are we on a
different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For
me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this
week’s study-
Psalm
8:1 O יהוה, our Master,
how excellent is Your Name in all the earth, you who set your splendor above
the heavens! Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of
babes and infants you have founded strength, because of your adversaries, to
put an end to enemy and avenger. Psalm 8:3 For
I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you
have established. Psalm 8:4 What is man that
you remember him? And the son of man that you visit him? Psalm 8:5 Yet you have made him a little less than Elohim, (Comment: earlier versions had incorrectly
placed us under the angels) and have crowned him with esteem and splendor. Psalm 8:6 You made him rule over the works of your
hands; You have put all under his feet, Psalm 8:7
All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, Psalm
8:8 The birds of the heavens, and
the fish of the sea, passing through the paths of the seas. Psalm 8:9 O יהוה, our Master, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth!
Loved one- I pray this prayer for
YOU today! I truly want your eyes of understanding
(Spiritual eyes) opened so that YOU may know the hope of your calling- which is
your destiny or hope of your calling!
Ephesians
1:15 For this reason I too, having
heard of your belief (faith,
trust) in the Master יהושע and your love for all the set-apart ones, Ephesians 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers, Ephesians 1:17
that the Elohim of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father
of esteem, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of
Him, Ephesians 1:18 the eyes of your understanding1 being enlightened, so that you
know what is the expectation of His calling, and what are the riches of the
esteem of His inheritance in the set-apart ones, Footnote: 1 Luke 24:45. Ephesians
1:19 and what is
the exceeding greatness of His power
toward us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty
strength, Ephesians 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah
when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the
heavenlies, Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is
named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. Ephesians 1:22 And He put all under His feet, and
gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly, (You and I- are His body and He is our head)
Ephesians 1:23 which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.
Loved one, are we sober, alert, and
THANKFUL? Thankful for our health, salvation, freedom, families, loved
ones, and the direction, protection, provision, which comes from KNOWING our
coming KING? ARE WE DOING THE GOSPEL?
Or just learning about it and waiting to escape the fiery trials? Remember, our
King is coming for His bride; the one that makes themselves ready- free from
blemish and sin; one with oil in her lamp (His Ruach-power), those that will be
a witness- even unto death- unashamed of His word and power. Knowing and
keeping His Set-Apart (Holy) Feast days may be very important for us as we see
below- those that were filled with His Spirit were obeying Him in keeping
Shavuot (Pentecost).We desire and will produce fruit that remains!
Enter His
Gates with thanksgiving;
and Enter His Courts with praise (Outer Courts- to the Inner Courts to the
Most Set Apart Place- or Holy of Holies)
this requires intimacy in worship- how close do you and I want to get to Him?
He is waiting and ready for those who seek Him with all their hearts!
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in יהוה with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5 Trust
in יהוה with all your heart, and lean not on your
own understanding; Proverbs 3:6
Know Him in all your ways, and He makes all your paths straight.
Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I
know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy (Hope). Jeremiah
29:12 ‘Then you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I
shall listen to you. Jeremiah 29:13 ‘And you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you search
for me with all your heart 1. Footnote:
1 Deuteronomy 4:29, Joel 2:12. Jeremiah
29:14 ‘And I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה,
‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the
gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’
Psalm 100:1 Raise a shout for יהוה, all the earth! Psalm 100:2
Serve יהוה with gladness; Come before His presence
with singing. Psalm 100:3 Know that יהוה, He is Elohim; He has made us, and we are
His – His people and the sheep of His pasture. Psalm
100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with
praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name. Psalm
100:5 For יהוה is good; His kindness
is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.
TOOLS FOR OUR VICTORY: PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING (Psalms 22:3) Yet you are set-apart, Enthroned on the praises of
Yisra’ĕl. KJV uses inhabits… Psalms 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His
courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His
Name. Psalms 105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms 106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting. Psalms 106:47 Save us, O יהוה
our Elohim, and gather us from among the gentiles, to give thanks to your set-apart
Name, to exult in your praise. Psalms 107:1
Give thanks to יהוה! He
is good, for His kindness is everlasting.
Hey
Loved One- just reading these will bless you with His presence! Hallelu-YAH!
2 Samuel 22:50 “Therefore I give thanks to You, O יהוה, among nations, and I sing praise to Your Name. 1 Chronicles
16:8 Give thanks
to יהוה, call upon His Name, and make known His
deeds among the peoples! 1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to יהוה, for He is good, for His kindness is
everlasting! 2
Chronicles 7:3 and all the children of Yisra’ĕl saw how the fire
came down, and the esteem of יהוה on the House, and
they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and did obeisance and
gave thanks to יהוה, saying, “For He is good, for His kindness
is everlasting.” 2 Chronicles 7:6
And the priests were standing over their duties, and the Lĕwites with
instruments of the song to יהוה, which Sovereign
Dawiḏ had made to give thanks
to יהוה, saying, “For His kindness is
everlasting,” whenever Dawiḏ praised by their hand. And the priests were
blowing trumpets before them, and all Yisra’ĕl were standing. 2 Chronicles 20:21 And after consulting with the people, he
appointed those who should sing to יהוה,
and who should praise the splendor of set-apartness, as they went out before
the army and were saying, “Give thanks to יהוה, for His kindness is
everlasting.” 2 Chronicles 31:2 and Ḥizqiyahu appointed the divisions of
the priests and of the Lĕwites according to their divisions, each according to
his service of the priests and Lĕwites for burnt offerings and peace offerings,
to serve and to give thanks,
and to praise in the gates of the camp of יהוה.
Ezra 3:11 and they responded by praising
and giving thanks
to יהוה, “For He is good, for His kindness towards
Yisra’ĕl is forever.” And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they
praised יהוה, because the foundation of the House of יהוה was laid.
Psalms 136:1 Give thanks
to יהוה, for He is good! For His kindness is
everlasting. 1 Corinthians 15:57 but thanks to Elohim who
gives us the overcoming through our Master יהושע
Messiah. 1Thessalonians
5:18 in all circumstances give thanks, for this is the desire of Elohim in
Messiah יהושע for you.
Hebrews 13:15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up
a slaughter offering of praise to Elohim, that is, the fruit of our lips,1 giving thanks to His Name. Footnote: 1 Or “bulls of our lips” - See Hoshea
14:2. Revelation
4:9 And when the living
creatures give esteem and respect and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives
forever and ever, Revelation 11:17 saying, “We give you thanks, O יהוה
Ěl Shaddai, the One who is and who was and who is coming, because You have
taken Your great power and reigned.
WE
MUST HAVE HIS HELP AND POWER NOW! No more time for playing religion
unless we want our testimony cut short- yes we will still go into the Kingdom
without His power to be a witness, if we are BORN AGAIN; but we will miss out
for our lack of DOING- as we are limited to the natural- flesh realm without
His help and POWER!
Act
1:7 And He said to them, “It is not for you
to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Act 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and you
shall be my witnesses in
Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the
earth.”
Act
2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Weeks had come, they were all with one mind in
one place. Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a
sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the entire
house where they were sitting. Act 2:3 And
there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of
them. Act 2:4 And they were all filled
with the Set-apart Spirit
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
We must humble ourselves and the directions of our lives by submitting our
tongues to Him and trusting Him. The tongue is set on fire by hell and no man
can tame it- but HE can and will; but only if we willingly submit! We too can
offer mysteries to Yahuah Elohim which no man can understand- it is our
encrypted code and language to heaven that He understands.
Can we trust our loving King and His Set-Apart Spirit- the Ruach
HaKodesh with our tongues or not?
ABSOLUTELY:
Luke
11:9 “And I say
to you: ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it
shall be opened to you. Luke 11:10 “For everyone asking receives, and
he who is seeking finds, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. Luke 11:11 “And what father
among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks for a
fish shall give him a snake
instead of a fish, (Comment:
snakes and scorpions are shown to be the demonic realm of the enemy in Luke
10:19) Luke 11:12 or
if he asks for an egg shall give him a scorpion?
Luke 11:13 “If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give the Set-apart Spirit to those asking
Him!” Luke 11:14 And He
was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to be, when the demon had
gone out, that the dumb spoke. And the crowds marveled.
Last week and the week before I shared Bobby Conner’s
teaching on DRAWING NEAR into the SECRET PLACE of Psalm 91; here it is once
more for your benefit.
PREPARE THE OVERCOMERS
08/01/2015
By Bobby Conner
Divine
Dissatisfaction: Preparing
the Remnant For A Righteous Revolution!
Yahuah is preparing a remnant of truly overcomers for a
righteous revolution! The Spirit of Yahuah has been fanning the flame of
discontentment within the hearts of the Saints causing them to feel a deep
dissatisfaction with mere powerless religious actions. There can be no true
revolution with contented people! What you feel within your spirit is a divine
disturbance driving you to seek Yahuah on a deeper level (see Isaiah
44:3-4).
The Secret Place
This is a season of seeking the secret place (See Psalms
91:1)! First let’s discover more understanding concerning the importance of
seeking the secret place. Never forget the secret place is not a location but
the holy set-apart presence. It is very important to understand that we
are not seeking a place but rather a person. The
saints of Yahuah discover that true intimacy is stirred in the secret place of
the Most High, a desire not merely for power but for His living presence.
Deep Calling unto Deep
The first step toward the "secret place of the Most High"
(Psalm 91:1) begins with a desperate, hungry heart (See Matthew
5:8). This longing draws us to seek true, deep intimacy with
Christ. One can hear the cry of David’s longing heart in Psalms
42:7
“Deep calls unto deep
at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.”
Beloved, now is the time to go deeper into the Word of Yahuah in
order to go higher with Yahusha. We must avail ourselves of the Sword of the
Spirit to battle against the spirit of fear and doubt. The Spirit of Yahuah has
stirred this desire! None will be satisfied with a stagnated life. He has been
fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of Yahuah’s people,
resulting in a deep hunger for not merely the power of Yahuah but the abiding
presence of Yahuah (See Psalms 15:1). To advance the pathway
into Psalms 15:1 it is Psalms 51:1, this
deals with the need for a clean upright heart (See Psalms 51:10).
Only with a clean pure heart will we dare approach Yahuah (See Psalms
24:3-4). We must never forget; “the heart of the matter is the matter of
the heart.” (See 2 Corinthians 7:1)
David's Burning Desire
Many in our day can relate with the hungry heart of David as he
pens the Psalms. These love poems to Yahuah are filled with the heart-cry of a
man seeking for a deep, personal relationship with Yahusha Himself. Again and
again, David expresses a burning desire to intimately know Yahusha on several
levels of experience. First, he desires to know Yahusha face to face.
In this regard, I so appreciate the Message Bible Psalms 63:1-4
"Yahuah—you’re my
Elohim!
I can’t get enough of
you!
I’ve worked up such
hunger and thirst for Yahuah,
traveling across dry
and weary deserts.
So here I am in the
place of worship, eyes open,
Drinking in your
strength and glory.
In your generous love
I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises
like fountains.
I bless you every time
I take a breath;
My arms wave like
banners of praise to you."
This desperate hunger is again stated in Psalm 42:1-2:
“As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul
after You, O Yahuah. My soul thirsts for Yahuah, for the living Yahuah: when
shall I come and appear before Yahuah?”
David's Repentance
David has gained the knowledge that he cannot find the soul
satisfaction and fulfillment that he deeply desires from other
relationships. He now desires to know Yahusha as a Person with whom he can
share times of intimate fellowship. When he fell short of this experience,
David repented before Yahusha.
“I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity I have not
hidden. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahusha, and you forgave
the iniquity of my sin.” Psalm 32:5 NKJ
Now, after coming clean with Yahuah David is free from all guilt
and condemnation and he can say from within the depth of his being:
“You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble;
you shall surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7 NKJ
David has come to understand that only Yahusha can
satisfy the longing of his soul. He has completely abandoned himself to
Yahusha as his "hiding place." With open arms Yahusha
awaits your return to Him He is ready and willing to forgive and restore all
who turn to Him. He will take the yoke of sin and shame and give you abiding
peace and the marvelous joy of His presence (See Psalm 16:11).
David's Trust
As a result of this deep heart rending repentance, David then
desires to know Yahusha as one in whom he can place infinite trust.
In Psalm 56:11, David the Psalmist writes:
“In Yahuah have I put
my trust: I will not be afraid what can man do to me.”
There is a bold clarity in the expression of David's trust and
expectancy in these words as they flow out from a heart of love, appreciation,
and worship. With clean hands and a pure heart David discovers he has been
brought into a new level of intimacy with Yahuah, Yahusha spoke to him and
imparted this very encouraging promise:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I
will guide you with my eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which
have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they
will not come near you.” Psalm 32:8-9 NKJ
David’s repentance has brought him into such an intimate
closeness to Yahusha ("I will guide you with my eye") that
David is able to sense the desire of Yahusha concerning him, apart
from words being spoken. Seeking to take David even further into true
intimacy, Yahusha exhorts him to be both responsive and obedient: “Do not be
like the horse or like the mule.” As followers of Messiah we should not be self-willed,
like a horse, nor should we be stubborn like the mule. Our goal is to become
easy to lead, swift to obey; desiring to fully follow the Lamb wherever He will
lead.
Unwavering Desire and
Focus
We also desperately need this same clarity of Spirit-led
protection and guidance that David experienced. As world pressures and
religious confusion increase, we must heed this exhortation in the Word to unconditionally make
Yahusha our portion, He alone is our impenetrable rock and refuge (See Psalms
59:16-17)!
Psalm 91 promises
deliverance and victory in the time of trouble to those abiding in Yahuah’s
presence; “he that dwells in the secret place of The Most High.” This
“secret place” is a place “set apart” where we can withdraw from the activities
of our everyday life experience. Here, we will be able to clearly hear with our
spiritual ears, and then appropriate His Words into our spirit and digest them
until they become a personal reality within us. Only as we learn to act upon
the Word of Yahuah does our life start to transform and true change occurs.
(See James 1:22).
There are many distracting influences that seek to draw us away
from a sincere devotion to Yahuah. These forces have absolutely no power or
control over us, unless we allow them to do so. There must be within each of us
an active resistance to anything that will hinder our times of
fellowship with Yahusha. It is when we resist the devil that he takes flight
from us (See James 4:7).
Yahusha will not over-ride our will, He will urge us and prompt
and provoke us but the choice must be from our heart. He will guide us, but we
are given the freedom to choose our level of response to Him in every area of
our life encounter. We must abide continually in an attitude
of choosing to respond to His wooing our hearts into this place of “a secret
abode of intimacy with Him.”
The foe of our soul will do all he can to distract us away from
our quest for the secret place. The enemy's strategies that pull away from this
secret place are many and manifold: there continually lurks in the
shadows the desire for success, recognition and earthly security against what
might happen. If allowed, these things will step forward to obscure Yahusha.
Our goal is to truly seek first the Kingdom of Yahuah (See Matthew 6:33).
As this becomes our quest then everything else will find its proper place in
our life.
We easily forget His promise in John 16:33. “In
the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the
world.” Here, Yahusha is saying, “Do not fear, in me you will have
peace.” He has promised to care for us, for He is our Good Shepherd. As we have
need, we can freely partake of all that He won on the Cross in our behalf
(See Romans 8:32-37)!
Set Our Affections
Above
If we are not receiving
His care and protection, we have either chosen the wrong dwelling place or we
have set our affection on something or someone other than Yahusha, our King.
When this happens, He patiently waits, ready to help us when we finally turn to
Him.
His “word” to us is that we enter into “the secret place” where
He dwells and then make this our real, experienced home. David
erected a tent on Mount Zion for Yahuah to dwell in, but David’s heart became
Yahuah’s abode. The Yahuah promises to reward those who seek Him. This reward
is Yahuah Himself. Nothing can compare to this eternal treasure!
Super Victorious
In Romans 8:28, we are presented with exhortations,
promises, and the marvelous word that “all things work together for good to
them that love Yahuah” (To those who make Him their secret abode). Then comes
the encouraging words, “If Yahuah be for us, who can be against us?” The
answer to this question is extremely clear in Romans 8:37 amid
all that the foe can send our way in Yahusha we are super victorious.
Victory is guaranteed, as we put our trust completely in
and seek this place of rest in His presence (See Psalms 16:11). As
we do this, we will be eternally grateful and satisfied (See Phil.4:6-8)!
Abiding in Messiah’s presence produces the peace
that surpasses all understanding.

Onece again the DECREE Psalm 91 for Family, Friends and
all Loved Ones! (Decree daily
for you and your loved ones)
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the secret place of
the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:2 I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My Elohim, in
Him I will trust." Psalm 91:3 Surely He shall
deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous
pestilence. Psalm 91:4
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take
refuge; His truth shall be your shield
and buckler. Psalm 91:5 you shall not be afraid
of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day, Psalm
91:6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. Psalm 91:7
a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:8 only with your eyes shall you look, and
see the reward of the wicked. Psalm 91:9 Because you have made Yahweh, who is my refuge, even
the Most High, your dwelling place, Psalm 91:10 No evil shall befall you, nor shall any
plague come near your dwelling; Psalm 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:12 in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash
your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:13
you shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you
shall trample underfoot. Psalm 91:14
"Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will
set him on high, because he has known my name. Psalm
91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him
and honor him. Psalm 91:16 with long life I
will satisfy him, and show him my salvation."
This DAY is coming but we are only
seeing glimpses of evil at this time- time we awaken from our slumber and draw
near to our coming King- who laughs at these wicked men- and their
planned events.
AS it gets darker- the wicked get more dark- as we are filled with more light!
Psalm
2:1 why do the gentiles’ rage 1 and the peoples meditate emptiness?
Footnote: 1 Acts 4:25-26. Psalm 2:2 the sovereigns of the earth take their
stand and the rulers take counsel together, against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say, Psalm 2:3 “Let us tear apart their bonds, and throw
away their ropes from us.” Psalm 2:4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them. Psalm 2:5
Then He speaks to them in His wrath, and troubles them in His rage, saying,
Psalm 2:6 “But I, I have set My Sovereign on
Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain.” Psalm 2:7 “I
inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to me, ‘you
are My Son, today I have brought you forth. Psalm 2:8
‘Ask of me, and I make the gentiles your inheritance, and the ends of the earth
your possession. Psalm 2:9 ‘Break them with a
rod of iron, dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” Psalm 2:10 and now, be wise, O sovereigns; be instructed,
you rulers of the earth. Psalm 2:11 Serve יהוה with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be enraged,
and you perish in the way, for soon His wrath is to be kindled. Blessed are all
those taking refuge in Him.
Last week we also looked at supply---that is what will
provide- or what are true riches?
Seems we do not really seek Him with all our hearts when we have plenty of
money. We think our money will supply all our needs.
Quick reminder- Gold
refined by FIRE IS TRUE RICHES- which is faith, belief and trust from Intimacy
with the Father and His WORD- Yahusha!
Revelation 3:11 “See, I am coming speedily! Hold what you have that no one
take your crown. Revelation 3:12 “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting
post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim, and he shall by no means go out. And I
shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim,
the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim,
and My Renewed Name. Revelation 3:13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
assemblies.” ’ Revelation 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 Colossians 1:15,
Hebrews 1:6. Revelation 3:15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I
would that you were cold or hot. Revelation
3:16 “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. Revelation 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. (Comment- reasons we are LUKEWARM as we have
no need- we think we have arrived- no need for repentance and change- this is a
very dangerous place for believers) Revelation
3:18 “I
advise you to buy from Me gold (Faith-trust-belief) refined
in the fire,1 so that you become rich; and white garments, so that you
become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and
anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. Footnote: 1 Psalms 19:10, Psalms 119:72 & 127, Proverbs
30:5. Revelation 3:19 “As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent
and repent. Revelation 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. Revelation 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. Revelation
3:22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ”
Are we close to the end of this age? We are commanded to
NOT learn the ways of the heathens!
(Luke 21:31) “So you also, when
you see these matters take
place, know that the reign of Elohim is near. (Luke 21:32) “Truly, I say to you, this
generation (Which generation? Obviously- the ones who see these
things come to pass) shall by no means pass away till
all shall have taken place. (Luke 21:33) “The heaven and the
earth shall pass away, but my words shall by no means pass away. (Luke 21:34) “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed
down by gluttony, and drunkenness and worries of this life, and that day come
on you suddenly. (Luke 21:35) “For it shall come as
a snare on all those dwelling
on the face of all the earth.
(Luke 21:36) “Watch then at all
times, and pray that you be counted worthy to escape all this about to take
place, and to stand before the Son of Aḏam.” No Pre-tribulation rapture here-
we are to escape and endure and produce fruit which alone glorifies our
Father and what a blessing to still be standing when He returns- Hallelu-Yah!
No
need for fear- Our Elohim holds the wicked men of the earth (and the
demonic s infesting/directing them) in DERISION as He laughs at them! Draw near to our Father
and FEAR NOT! Okay we will now take a closer look again at Halloween and make
some decisions about how we guide our children.
Loved One- Intellect alone is insufficient. "If it were possible, it would deceive the very
elect.” Of course, the point is not to terrify people. The
ultimate goal is to point them to the source of true protection, of true
salvation, of true hope. Yahusha
is the victor. He's already won the battle, and he is stronger
than anything Satan can throw at us. Even more important, he has
triumphed over death for us. He told his disciples long ago, and
still tells us today, "...Rejoice not that the spirits are subject
unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven"
(Luke 10:20)
Loved One; last week we reminded
ourselves we must SPEAK THE WORD OF TRUTH AND NOT THE FACTS OR WHAT IS SEEN! Remember; Yahusha reminds us;
His words are Spirit and Life. We will not be allowed to have His power if we
speak the facts- that disagree with Him- remember the facts (giants in the land) are temporal (temporary) and subject to change
whereas His words and agreeing with them are eternal- He reminds us that Heaven
and Earth will pass away but His words will remain forever! Hallelu-Yah- walking
in a demonstration of His power (which is
becoming an ever apparent need) requires a humbling obedience on our parts
loved one.
Can we even truly imagine becoming Kings and Priests
in the Millennial Kingdom if we won’t even obey Him in this day? Would you and
I be so foolish to elevate our servants that will not obey us? Do we honestly
think our King and Messiah will make those among us who choose to disobey Him-
Kings and Priests to teach and help direct others to not obey His truths and instructions? (Torah)
Are we among them that erroneously believe we are
now finally under grace? The Scriptures declare Noah found grace in His eyes.
Obviously, so did Adam and Eve as they were not killed. Do we find ourselves
believing grace has done away with the Law or instructions (Torah)?
Since 1 John declares KJV
(1 John 3:4) whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law. Scriptures
(1 John 3:4) everyone doing sin also does
lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. Would we be so deceived that we
believe Yahusha did away with sin which is transgression against the Torah
(Law/Instructions) and therefore paid
the price so that GRACE allows us to sin now without penalty? YHWH forbid us!
What do the
instructions of Yahweh say?
(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 (trust/faith)
which we are proclaiming: (Romans 10:9) that if you
confess (speak) with your mouth the Master יהושע (The WORD
made flesh who dwells among us) and believe in your
heart that Elohim has raised
Him from the dead, you shall be saved (SOZO-
Delivered, saved, healed, made whole). (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.”
Here’s our answer for why we desire to speak
agreement with His words!
He is no respecter
of persons but as He told Jeremiah- He is watching over His word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do
it.”
The
Ruach will guide us into more truth as we receive the engrafted word and become
DOERS of what has been revealed.
(Romans 2:13) Not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of
Elohim, but the doers of the
law 1 shall be declared right. Footnote:
1 Matthew 7:21-27, James 2:14-24.
When we receive
(A decision
and choice we each make) the engrafted word- we
will both submit and obey by our doing or likely we also are deceived or
at least prone/susceptible to hasatan’s attack. If we choose to not receive
then we are in rebellion. (1
Samuel 15:22) Then Shemu’ĕl said, “Does יהוה delight in burnt offerings and slaughterings, as in obeying the
voice of יהוה? Look, to obey is better than an
offering, to heed is better than the fat of rams. (1
Samuel 15:23) “For rebellion is
as the sin of divination, (witchcraft)
and stubbornness is as wickedness and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of יהוה, He also does reject you as Sovereign (King).” I expect He will also reject us as
Kings and Priests for disobedience- YIKES!
(James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and
overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 13:4-23. (James 1:22) And become
doers of the Word, and not hearers only,
1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49,
Luke 8:21, Romans 2:13, Hebrews 4:11, Revelation 22:14. (James 1:23)
If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who
looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24)
for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was
like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the
perfect Torah, that of freedom, 1 and continues in it, not becoming
a hearer that forgets, but
a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah.
Footnote: 1
See 2:12.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us
hold fast the confession of our
expectation without yielding, for He who promised is trustworthy. Hebrews 10:24 And let us be concerned for one another
in order to stir up love and good works, 1
Footnote: 1 Matthew 16:27. Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of
ourselves together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more
as you see the Day coming near.
Keep on sinning- because He is merciful? NO WAY!
We MUST REPENT!
Hebrews 10:26 For if we
sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for
sins,1 Footnote: 1 See
also 6:6, Hebrews 9:7, Numbers 15:15-28. Hebrews
10:27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire
which is about to consume the opponents. Hebrews 10:28
Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the
witness of two or three witnesses. Hebrews 10:29
How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the
Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set
apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor? Hebrews
10:30 For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay,
says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה
shall judge His people.” Hebrews 10:31 It is
fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim. Hebrews
10:32 But remember the former days, when, after you were enlightened,
you endured a great struggle with sufferings. Hebrews
10:33 On the one hand you were exposed to reproaches and pressures, and
on the other hand you became sharers with those who were so treated, Hebrews 10:34 for you sympathized with me in my
chains, and you accepted with joy the seizure of your possessions, knowing that
you have a better and a lasting possession for yourselves in the heavens. Hebrews 10:35 Do not, then, lose your boldness, which
has great reward. Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance
(Patience-enduring), so that when you
have done the desire of Elohim, you receive the promise: Hebrews 10:37 “For yet a little while – He who is
coming shall come and shall not delay.” Hebrews 10:38
“But the
righteous shall live by belief (Faith, trust), but if anyone draws back, my being has
no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who draw back
to destruction, but of belief (Faith,
trust), to the preservation of life. (Comment:
we must continue- continue to agree and speak the word of promise- not draw
back- but stand firm and speak TRUTH of His words- not the current facts IF we
expect and hope for His deliverance- He cannot- walk with us if we disagree
with Him)
How many of us still want to fit
in, be accepted by unbelieving and mocking worldly friends and family members?
It is time we make ourselves ready and quit playing with fire- we now must
become the bride making ourselves ready! We must pray for them but become set
apart! WE MUST BECOME WITNESSES BY OUR
ACTIONS AND OUR TONGUES! We are required to produce fruit that remains as this
is what glorifies our Father in Heaven!
(James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship
with the world is enmity with
Elohim? 1 Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the
world makes himself an enemy of Elohim. Footnote: 1
Matthew 13:22, Luke 4:5-6, Luke 14:33, Romans. 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17. (James 4:5) Or
do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit which
dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James 4:6) But He gives greater favor. Because of this
He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor
to the humble.” (James 4:7) So then subject (submit- receive and do or SHE’MAH- Hear and
Obey) yourselves
to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he shall flee from you.
Footnote: 1 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?
(Hebrews 11:1) now
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Romans 10:17)
So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing (Cycle) by the word of YHWH. (Romans 10:18)
I say, have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the
earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Romans
10:19) I say, did not Israel
know? First Moses says I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and
by a foolish nation I will anger you. (Romans 10:20) But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was
found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not
after me. (Romans 10:21) But to Israel he says, All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Let’s briefly remind ourselves why
you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore
loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to
the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with
him.(Matthew 12:47)
Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand
without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers?
(Matthew 12:49)
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit to the
will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH /Instructions)
we are Yahusha’s (Jesus’) family!
Have WE
inherited lies? Most Likely! Why else would He emphasize this problem?
We should also realize a truth: Jeremiah
prophesied that in the DAY OF
AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known
as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals
truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from
His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t please Him because
they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions
that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my
strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction,
the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say,
surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the
Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1 See also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation
22:18-19.
I have often questioned you- can we even imagine thinking we were serving
YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us
we inherited lies and were workers of Lawlessness (Torahlessness)- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually were
disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This experience would
and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth,
into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change
us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing
is too hard for you YHWH! You are family (LOVED
ONES) if you are humble enough to
be a truth searcher. One who desires truth
and obedience to your Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their
traditions.
This group would include us who are willing to
pick up our burial stake and follow Him.
Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease
as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to
do the changing, Yahusha put it like this: (Matthew
16:24) Then said Yahusha to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to humble ourselves and
accept the engrafted word when we discover truth.
This losing our life for Him is not just
physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the
degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Let’s get hungry for more of Him and less of us- I
suspect we will be most happy not to hear these words from Yahusha!
(Matthew 15:7) “You Hypocrites!
Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Matthew
15:8) ‘This
people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but
their heart is far from Me. (Matthew 15:9) ‘But
in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1 Isaiah
29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19. VAIN? That’s equivalent to worthless!
We
now take a fresh look at the Cycles
of Scripture as our hearts receive fresh revelation and understanding from
hearing and hearing His word. With thankful hearts- which are counting our blessings one by
one- let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion Loved Ones!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Bechukotai “In My Statutes”
Leviticus 26:3- 27:34; Jeremiah 16:19-17:14; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Promises guaranteed by the Creator
for obeying Him and curses guaranteed for disobeying Him! This applies to many
countries including our beloved USA- Note how the correction and punishment
highlights are serious in length. Note that the scattering of the 10 “lost”
tribes are the lost sheep that Yahusha came for. They are called ISRAEL or
EPHRAIM (multitude blessed and fruitful- mostly Christians repenting) and are
scattered all over the earth due to disobedience and following pagan traditions
(Ishtar –Easter, Christmas, Lent- fasting 40 days for Tamuz, Halloween, etc.)
and were told they would be scattered for 390 years for their disobedience—so
as we see below we are scattered still for a reason. Due to our continued sin
at the end of the 390 years, there was an extension to 2730 years (X seven)
which is somewhere from 2010 to now… Now there should be repentance and coming
out of her OR we will partake of the death judgment (Plagues) for willfully
continuing to disobey. Family—we repent now and draw near- or soon perish.
(Leviticus 26:3) ‘If you walk in my laws and guard my commands, and
shall do them, (Leviticus 26:4) then I shall give you rain in its season, and the land
shall yield its crops, and the trees of the field yield their fruit. (Leviticus 26:5)
‘And your threshing shall last till the time
of the grape harvest and the grape harvest shall last till the time of sowing.
And you shall eat your bread until you have enough, and shall dwell in your
land safely. (Leviticus 26:6) ‘And I shall give
peace in the land, and you shall lie down and no one make you afraid. And I
shall clear the land of evil beasts, and not let the sword go through your
land. (Leviticus 26:7) ‘And you shall
pursue your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. (Leviticus 26:8)
‘And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and
a hundred of you pursue ten thousand. And your enemies shall fall by the sword
before you. (Leviticus 26:9) ‘And I shall turn
to you and make you bear fruit, and shall increase you, and shall establish my
covenant with you. (Leviticus 26:10) ‘And you shall
eat the old supply, and clear out the old because of the new. (Leviticus 26:11)
‘And I shall set My Dwelling Place in your
midst, and my being shall not reject you. (Leviticus
26:12) ‘And
I shall walk in your midst, and shall be your Elohim, and you shall be my
people. (Leviticus 26:13) ‘I am יהוה your Elohim,
who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I
have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright. (Leviticus 26:14)
‘But
if you do not obey Me, and do not do all these commands, (Leviticus 26:15) and if you reject My laws, or if your
being loathes My right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but
break My covenant, (Leviticus 26:16) I also do
this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm over you, wasting disease and
inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming the life. And you shall sow
your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Leviticus 26:17)
‘And I shall set my face against you, and
you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those who hate you shall rule
over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Leviticus 26:18)
‘And after all this, if you do not obey me,
then I shall punish you seven times more for your sins.
(Leviticus 26:19) ‘And I shall
break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron and your
earth like bronze. (Leviticus 26:20) ‘And your
strength shall be spent in vain and your land will not yield its crops, nor do
the trees of the land yield their fruit. (Leviticus
26:21) ‘And
if you walk contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven
times more plagues, according to your sins, (Leviticus 26:22) and send wild
beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I shall cut off
your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be
deserted. (Leviticus 26:23) ‘And if you are
not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Leviticus 26:24)
then I also shall walk contrary to you, and
I myself shall smite you seven times for your sins.
(Leviticus 26:25) ‘And I shall
bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of my covenant, and you shall
gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among you, and you
shall be given into the hand of the enemy. (Leviticus
26:26) ‘When
I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one
oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by weight and you shall eat
and not be satisfied. (Leviticus 26:27) ‘And if in spite
of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Leviticus 26:28)
then
I shall walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven times for your
sins. (Leviticus 26:29) ‘And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Leviticus 26:30)
‘And I shall destroy your high places, and
cut down your sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your
idols. And my being shall loathe you. (Leviticus
26:31) ‘And
I shall turn your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and
not smell your sweet fragrances. (Leviticus
26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your
enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Leviticus 26:33)
‘And
I shall scatter you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your
land shall be desert and your cities ruins, (Leviticus
26:34) and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as
long as it lays waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would
rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. (Leviticus 26:35) ‘As long as it
lays waste it rests, for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you
dwelt in it. (Leviticus 26:36) ‘And as for those
of you who are left, I shall send faintness into their hearts in the lands of
their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And
they shall flee as though retreating from a sword, and they shall fall when no
one pursues. (Leviticus 26:37) ‘And they shall
stumble over one another, as from before a sword, when no one pursues. And you
shall be unable to stand before your enemies. (Leviticus
26:38) ‘And
you shall perish among the gentiles, (Heathen) and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up, (Leviticus 26:39) and those of you
who are left rot away in their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in
their fathers’ crookednesses rot away with them.
(Leviticus 26:40) ‘But if they confess their crookedness
and the crookedness of their fathers, with their trespass in which they
trespassed against me, and that they also have walked contrary to me,
(Leviticus 26:41) and that I also have walked contrary to them and have
brought them into the land of their enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and
they accept the punishment of their crookedness, (Leviticus 26:42) then I shall
remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and
also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land. (Leviticus 26:43) ‘For the land was abandoned by them, and
enjoying its Sabbaths while lying waste without them, and they were paying for
their crookedness, because they rejected my right-rulings and because their
being loathed my laws. (Leviticus 26:44) ‘And yet for all this, when they are in the
land of their enemies, I shall not reject them, nor shall I loathe them so as
to destroy them and break my covenant with them. I am יהוה
their Elohim. (Leviticus 26:45) ‘Then I shall remember for their sake the covenant of the
ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim before the eyes of the
nations to be their Elohim. I am יהוה.’ (Leviticus 26:46) These are the laws and the right-rulings and
the Torot 1 which יהוה made between Himself and the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount
Sinai by the hand of Mosheh. Footnote: 1 Torot
- plural of Torah, teaching.
The tithe of the INCREASE belongs to YHWH!
(Leviticus 27:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, (Leviticus 27:2) “Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man separates a vow, by your
evaluation of lives unto יהוה, (Leviticus 27:3) when your evaluation is of a male
from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your evaluation shall be
fifty sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. (Leviticus 27:4)
‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels; (Leviticus 27:5)
and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your evaluation
for a male shall be twenty sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels; (Leviticus 27:6)
and if from a month old up to five years old, then your evaluation for a
male shall be five sheqels of silver, and for a female your evaluation shall be
three sheqels of silver; (Leviticus 27:7) and if from sixty years old and above, if it
is a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen sheqels, and for a female ten
sheqels. (Leviticus 27:8) ‘But if he is too poor to pay your
evaluation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest
shall set a value for him. According to the ability of him who vowed, the
priest shall value him. (Leviticus 27:9) ‘And if it is a beast of which they bring an
offering to יהוה, all such given to יהוה is set-apart. (Leviticus
27:10) ‘He is not to replace it
or exchange it, well for spoilt or spoilt for good. And if he at all exchanges
beast for beast, then both it and the one exchanged for it is set-apart. (Leviticus 27:11)
‘And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring an offering
to יהוה, then he shall present the beast before
the priest; (Leviticus 27:12) and the priest shall value it, whether it is
good or spoilt. According to your evaluation, O priest, so it shall be. (Leviticus 27:13)
‘But if he indeed redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth to your
evaluation. (Leviticus 27:14) ‘And when a man sets his house apart, to be
set-apart to יהוה, then the priest
shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt. As the priest values it, so it
stands. (Leviticus 27:15) ‘And if he who sets it apart does redeem his
house, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and
it shall be his. (Leviticus 27:16) ‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה a field he owns, then your evaluation shall be according to the
seed for it – a ḥomer of barley seed at fifty sheqels of silver. (Leviticus 27:17)
‘If he sets his field apart from the Year of Jubilee, according to your
evaluation it stands. (Leviticus 27:18) ‘But if he sets his field apart after the
Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the silver due according to the
years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your
evaluation. (Leviticus 27:19) ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever
wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your
evaluation to it, and it shall be his. (Leviticus
27:20) ‘And if he does not redeem
the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is no longer redeemed,
(Leviticus 27:21) but the field, when it is
released in the Jubilee, is set-apart to יהוה
as a dedicated field, to be the possession of the priest. (Leviticus 27:22)
‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה
a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession, (Leviticus 27:23)
then the priest shall reckon to him the amount of your evaluation, up to
the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your evaluation on that day, set-apart
to יהוה. (Leviticus
27:24) ‘In the Year of Jubilee
the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him whose is the possession
of the land. (Leviticus 27:25) ‘And all your evaluations is to be according
to the sheqel of the set-apart place: twenty gĕrahs to the sheqel. (Leviticus 27:26)
‘However, a first-born of the beasts, which is first-born to יהוה, no man sets it apart – whether bull or
sheep, it belongs to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:27)
‘And if among the unclean beasts, then he shall ransom it
according to your evaluation, and shall add one-fifth to it. And if it is not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your evaluation. (Leviticus 27:28)
‘However, whatever a man lays under ban for יהוה
of all that he has, man and beast, or the field of his possession, is not sold
or redeemed. Whatever is laid under ban is most set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:29) ‘No one under the ban, under the ban among
men, is ransomed, but shall certainly be put to death. (Leviticus
27:30) ‘And all the tithe of the land – of the seed
of the land or of the fruit of the tree – belongs to יהוה. It is
set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus 27:31) ‘If a man indeed redeems any of his tithes,
he adds one-fifth to it. (Leviticus 27:32) ‘And the entire tithe of the herd and of the
flock all that passes under the rod, the tenth one is set-apart to יהוה. (Leviticus
27:33) ‘He does not inquire
whether it is good or spoilt, nor does he exchange it. And if he exchanges it
at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it are set-apart, it is not
redeemed.’ ” (Leviticus 27:34) these are the
commands which יהוה commanded Mosheh for
the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai.
There might be some more
“traditions” we need to depart from! Knowing His name seems to be more important than many
would have us believe! So again- perhaps we have inherited lies…
(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 in them.” 1 Footnote: 1 See
Psalms 147:19, Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah 60:2-3, John 4:22, Romans 2:20, Romans 3:2, Romans
9:4. (Jeremiah 16:20) Would a man make mighty ones for himself,
which are not mighty ones? (Jeremiah 16:21) “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I
cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!” (Jeremiah
17:1)
“The sin of Yehuḏah is written with a pen of
iron, engraved with the point of a diamond on the tablet of their heart, and on
the horns of your altars, (Jeremiah 17:2) while their children remember their altars
and their Ashĕrim by the spreading trees on the high hills. (Jeremiah 17:3)
“My mountain in the field, I give as plunder your wealth, all your
treasures, your high places of sin, throughout all your borders. (Jeremiah 17:4)
“And you, even of yourself, shall let go of your inheritance which I
gave you. And I shall make you serve your enemies in a land which you have not
known, for you have kindled a fire in my displeasure which burns forever.” (Jeremiah 17:5)
Thus said יהוה, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart turns away from יהוה. (Jeremiah 17:6)
“For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good
comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that
is not inhabited. (Jeremiah 17:7) “Blessed is the man who trusts in יהוה, and whose
trust is יהוה. (Jeremiah 17:8) “For he shall be like a tree planted by
the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat
comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not
anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah
17:9) “The
heart is crooked1 above all, and desperately sick – who shall
know it? Footnote: 1 See 7:24, 16:12,
18:12, 23:17. (Jeremiah 17:10) “I, יהוה,
search the heart; I try the kidneys, and give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds. (Jeremiah 17:11) “As a partridge that broods but does not
hatch; so is he who gets riches, not by righteousness. It leaves him in the
midst of his days, and at his end he is a fool.” (Jeremiah
17:12) An esteemed throne,
exalted from the beginning, is the place of our set-apart place. (Jeremiah 17:13)
O יהוה, the expectation of Yisra’ĕl, all who
forsake you are put to shame. “Those who depart from me shall be written in the
earth, because they have forsaken יהוה,
the fountain of living waters.” 1 Footnote: 1 See 2:13. (Jeremiah 17:14)
Heal me, O יהוה, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I
am saved, for you are my praise.
Hey this is not instructions for just marriage- but
also friends, business associates- etc. ---
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do
not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.
For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship
has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians
6:15) And what agreement has
Messiah with Beliyaʽal? Or what part does a
believer have with an unbeliever? (2 Corinthians 6:16) And what union has the Dwelling Place of
Elohim with idols? You are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has
said, “I shall dwell in them and walk among them,
and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people.”
Perhaps we should really
pay attention to what YHWH describes through Moses and the Prophets what is
CLEAN and UNCLEAN!
(2 Corinthians 6:17) Therefore, “Come
out from among them and be separate, says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive
you. (2 Corinthians
6:18) “And I shall be a Father to you, and you
shall be sons and daughters to me, says יהוה the Almighty.”
Loved One- our prayer for you and
your loved ones is simple. That you make opportunity to give thanks to
Him who gives you breath, that He will direct you, protect you, provide for you
and use you mightily to produce fruit (more brothers and sisters) for His
Kingdom- especially since we all know our time is temporary here- also that you
are a light and a witness to those not yet “sold out” to obedience to YHWH that
brings blessings not curses. We know that legalism is obeying man made and added commands and keeping
pagan holidays and obeying Him always
brings blessings and is called OBEDIENCE!
I would
encourage you to consider praying and seeking the Father’s face regarding
drawing nearer to the safest place on the planet- HEARING AND OBEYING HIM! He may have you also preparing for massive Earth Changes as
apparently every major world government is aware of and planning for and digging underground cities for the
elite demon infested wicked rulers to escape to- FEAR NOT- but as you feel led- (NOT in fear) prepare
spirit, soul and body! We can trust our Elohim!
We will likely be happy we are not allowed among them! Hehe This
life is quite temporary in this flesh body- knowing this let’s live our lives
that we may believe YHWH- that if we ask ANYTHING that is according to His
word, and we know He hears us; we KNOW we have the things we have asked for!
Hallelu-YAH!
(1 John 1:9) If (Comment:
that is a serious IF) we confess our sins, He
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
(1 John 5:14)
And this is the boldness that we have in
Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us. (1 John 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we have asked of Him! I pray also that you walk in Him and
produce His fruit that remains! I further pray that you learn to walk in His supernatural
gifts by faith and trust and further that you walk in obedience and so in love
with the Messiah that you FEAR NOT! Thanks for your prayers for us that we also
walk in His power, love and obedience; and that YHWH directs, provides, and
protects us and our loved ones! Billie and I
believe your wonderful prayers are seeds for your own loved ones-
PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS COMING! You are much loved!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
Continued
explanation of the Torah Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which
sometimes means we are walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of
Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of
course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not
ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially
since we are the ten (Ten scattered
northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels
closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong
nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in
Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’
(Zechariah 8:23) “Thus said יהוה
of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES
and in the future also!) Ten men
(10 scattered northern tribes called
Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the
garment of a man, a Yehuḏite 1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22.
