Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
Storm approaches all who dwell on the Earth! See www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com for His power and help- March 14 Torah study (attached) also www.seedtime2harvest.com
Loved One, it appears to me that things are being shaken in the heavenlies; (Heb 12:25) Take heed not to refuse the one (YHWH) speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, (Heb 12:26) whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”
This week upon returning to Costa Rica, I was in a time of worship as I sought the Lord about the unsettled thoughts and events happening around me- or all of us for that matter as it is coming on the whole earth as we can see following words of Yahshua: (Luke 21:31) “So you also, when you see these matters (start to) take place, know that the reign of Elohim is near. (Luke 21:32) “Truly, I say to you, this generation 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.”
I believe I heard (Quite clearly) an admonition or warning that I submit to you for your consideration. Here are the exact words so think, pray, and judge for yourself. “Soon many on the earth will be without remedy; for even my sons and daughters have rejected my Spirit who will be their only help- tell them to humble themselves and receive my spirit and a prayer language that I have made available- that they may pray and produce fruit that will remain.”
I was actually alarmed when I heard this and questioned- only to have it repeated to me. I recently taught on this in our March 14 Torah Study (attached) which can also be found at www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com. Please consider these Scriptures carefully as your destiny is in the balance- do not think that you can save yourself without His power and His Spirit Loved One- we are grossly outmatched against hasatan without this provision YHWH made for us. Humble yourself or be humbled shortly. You are much loved, do not pass up this opportunity to fulfill your destiny on the earth- you were created to live in this day- and you can produce fruit that remains with His power- but understand all your treasure fruits that you consider gold and silver will be burned up and removed as wood, hay and stubble. (John 15:1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (John 15:2) Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:3) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. (John 15:4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. (John 15:5) I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:6) If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7) If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:8) Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue in my love.

Should not we also be praying- (SHEM’AH- HEAR AND OBEY ISRAEL), fasting AND PLANNING? FEAR NOT! Draw close to YHWH- wash our hands and seek our Creator with fear and trembling- while He may be found- He alone is our deliverer! This is no surprise to YHWH nor should it be to us- perhaps we should read Isaiah 24- He turns the Earth upside down.
(Heb 12:1) We too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us, (Heb 12:2) looking to the Princely Leader and perfecter of our belief (faith-trust), יהושע, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, having despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim. (Heb 12:3) For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and faint in your lives. (Heb 12:4) You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. (Heb 12:5) And you have forgotten the appeal which speaks to you as to sons, “My son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, nor faint when you are reproved by Him, (Heb 12:6) for whom יהוה loves, He disciplines, and flogs every son whom He receives.”1 Footnote: 1Prov. 3:11-12. (Heb 12:7) If you endure discipline, Elohim is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? (Heb 12:8) But if you are without discipline, of which all have become sharers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. (Heb 12:9) Moreover, we indeed had fathers of our flesh disciplining us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? (Heb 12:10) They indeed disciplined us for a few days as seemed best to them, but He does it for our profit, so that we might share His apartness. (Heb 12:11) And indeed, no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.1 Footnote: 1Dt. 8:2.
Let no bitter root come on you with unforgiveness or taking offense and become defiled- if Moses; a friend of YHWH who talked with Him Face to Face- feared and trembled- what about you and I as YHWH shakes the Heavens and The Earth this time?
(Heb 12:12) So, strengthen the hands which hang down and the weak knees, (Heb 12:13) and make straight paths for your feet, lest the lame be turned aside, but instead, to be healed. (Heb 12:14) Pursue peace with all, and pursue apartness (holiness) without which no one shall see the Master. (Heb 12:15) See to it that no one falls short of the favor of Elohim, that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, by which many become defiled, (Heb 12:16) lest there be anyone who whores, or profane one, like Ěsaw, who for a single meal sold his birthright. (Heb 12:17) For you know that afterward, when he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it with tears. (Heb 12:18) For you have not drawn near to a mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness and storm, (Heb 12:19) and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that no further Word should be spoken to them,1 Footnote: 1Ex. 20:19. (Heb 12:20) for they could not bear what was commanded, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot through with an arrow.” (Heb 12:21) And so fearsome was the sight that Mosheh said, “I exceedingly fear and tremble.”
Loved One- what cannot be shaken will be refined in the fire and what can be shaken will be removed- all the wood, hay, stubble of our unrighteous acts and motives; and yes, sadly even close friends and family who refuse to repent and seek YHWH through the shed blood of Yahshua- while He may be found- Let’s pray for them in such a bold way that the gates of hell will not prevail against Yahshua’s Assembly!
(Heb 12:22) But you have drawn near to Mount Tsiyon and to the city of the living Elohim, to the heavenly Yerushalayim, to myriads of messengers, (Heb 12:23) to the entire gathering and assembly of the first-born having been enrolled in heaven, and to Elohim the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, (Heb 12:24) and to יהושע the Mediator1 of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better than the blood of Heḇel. Footnote: 1See 8:6. (Heb 12:25) Take heed not to refuse the one speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven, (Heb 12:26) whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” (Heb 12:27) And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the removal of what is shaken – as having been made – so that the unshaken matters might remain. (Heb 12:28) Therefore, receiving an unshakeable reign, let us hold the favor, through which we serve Elohim pleasingly with reverence and awe, (Heb 12:29) for indeed, our Elohim is a consuming fire. (He will burn all the crud off of His people and burn up those who refuse to repent!) (Heb 10:28) Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. (Heb 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? (Heb 10:30) For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה shall judge His people.” (Heb 10:31) It is fearsome (dreadful) thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
Here are this week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayakhel “And He Assembled”
Exodus 35:1-38:20; 1Kings 7:13-26; 1 Corinthians 9:1-15; Hebrews Chap 12
Remember this is the command (Keeping His Sabbath not your own manmade one) that He says is a sign (relationship) between us and Him forever! The question must really be answered- are we grafted into Israel as Sha’ul (Paul) spoke: (Gal 3:29) and if you are of Messiah, then you are seed of Aḇraham, and heirs according to promise. (Rom 11:17) And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree, (Rom 11:18) do not boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear the root, but the root bears you! Finally remember; (Rom 11:22) See then the kindness and sharpness of Elohim: on those who fell sharpness, but toward you kindness, if you continue in His kindness, otherwise you also shall be cut off. (Rom 11:23) And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for Elohim is able to graft them in again. (Rom 11:24) For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? (Rom 11:25) For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’ĕl, until the completeness of the gentiles1 has come in. Footnote: 1Gen. 48:19. (Rom 11:26) And so all Yisra’ĕl shall be saved, as it has been written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Tsiyon, and He shall turn away wickedness from Yaʽaqoḇ, (Rom 11:27) and this is my covenant with them, (that’s US) when I take away their sins.”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 59:20-21.
Sabbaths are of Vital Importance!
(Exodus 31:13) “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign1 between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה, am setting you apart. Footnote: 1The only sign of יהוה setting us apart, the only sign of the everlasting covenant, is His Sabbaths, one of them being the seventh day Sabbath. This is repeated in Ezek. 20:12 & 20. (Exodus 31:14) ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people. (Exodus 31:15) ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יהוה. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. (Exodus 31:16) ‘The children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. (Exodus 31:17) ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. In six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ” (Exodus 31:18) and when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
(Exodus 35:1) And Mosheh assembled all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and said to them, “These are the Words which יהוה has commanded you to do: (Exodus 35:2) “Work is done for six days, but on the seventh day it shall be set-apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to יהוה. Anyone doing work on it is put to death. (Exodus 35:3) “Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” (Exodus 35:4) And Mosheh spoke to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the word which יהוה commanded, saying, (Exodus 35:5) ‘Take from among you a contribution to יהוה. Everyone whose heart so moves him, let him bring it as a contribution to יהוה: gold, and silver, and bronze, (Exodus 35:6) and blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, (Exodus 35:7) and ram skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, (Exodus 35:8) and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, (Exodus 35:9) and shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate. (Exodus 35:10) ‘And let all the wise-hearted among you come and make all that יהוה has commanded: (Exodus 35:11) the Dwelling Place, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its columns, and its sockets, (Exodus 35:12) the ark and its poles, the lid of atonement and the veil of the covering, (Exodus 35:13) the table and its poles, and all its utensils, and the showbread, (Exodus 35:14) and the lampstand for the light, and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light, (Exodus 35:15) and the incense altar, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the door at the entrance of the Dwelling Place, (Exodus 35:16) the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand, (Exodus 35:17) the screens of the courtyard, its columns, and their sockets, and the covering for the gate of the courtyard, (Exodus 35:18) the pegs of the Dwelling Place, and the pegs of the courtyard, and their cords, (Exodus 35:19) the woven garments to do service in the set-apart place, the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests.’ ” (Exodus 35:20) and all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl withdrew from the presence of Mosheh. (Exodus 35:21) And everyone whose heart lifted him up and everyone whose spirit moved him came, and they brought the contribution to יהוה for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the set-apart garments. (Exodus 35:22) And they came, both men and women, all whose hearts moved them, and brought earrings and nose rings, and rings and necklaces, all golden goods, even everyone who made a wave offering of gold to יהוה. (Exodus 35:23) And every man, with whom was found blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, brought them. (Exodus 35:24) Everyone who would make a contribution to יהוה of silver or bronze brought it. And everyone with who was found acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. (Exodus 35:25) And all the wise-hearted women spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, the blue and the purple, the scarlet material, and the fine linen. (Exodus 35:26) And all the women whose hearts lifted them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair. (Exodus 35:27) And the rulers brought shoham stones, and the stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate, (Exodus 35:28) and the spices and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. (Exodus 35:29) The children of Yisra’ĕl brought a voluntary offering to יהוה, all the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring all kinds of work which יהוה, by the hand of Mosheh, had commanded to be done. (Exodus 35:30) And Mosheh said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah, (Exodus 35:31) and He has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, (Exodus 35:32) to make designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze, (Exodus 35:33) and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all workmanship of design. (Exodus 35:34) “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan. (Exodus 35:35) “He has filled them with skill to do all work of the engraver and the designer and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and a weaver, doing any work, and makers of designs.
Wisdom and Understanding - (Pro 4:7) Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
(Exodus 36:1) “And Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in whom יהוה has given wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all work for the service of the set-apart place, shall do according to all that יהוה has commanded.” (Exodus 36:2) And Mosheh called Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in whose heart יהוה had given wisdom, everyone whose heart lifted him up, to come and do the work. (Exodus 36:3) And they received from Mosheh all the contribution which the children of Yisra’ĕl had brought for the work of the service of making the set-apart place. But they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning, (Exodus 36:4) so all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the set-apart place came, each from the work he was doing, (Exodus 36:5) and they spoke to Mosheh, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which יהוה commanded us to do.” (Exodus 36:6) Then Mosheh commanded and they sent this word throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the contribution of the set-apart place.” And the people were withheld from bringing, (Exodus 36:7) for what they had was enough for all the work to be done, more than enough. (Exodus 36:8) Then all the wise-hearted ones among them who worked on the Dwelling Place made ten curtains woven of fine linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. They made them with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 36:9) The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure. (Exodus 36:10) And he joined five curtains, one to another; and the other five curtains he joined, one to another. (Exodus 36:11) And he made loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain of one set, the same he did on the edge of the end curtain of the other set. (Exodus 36:12) Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the end curtain of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another. (Exodus 36:13) And he made fifty hooks of gold, and joined the curtains to each other with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place became one. (Exodus 36:14) And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the Dwelling Place, he made eleven curtains. (Exodus 36:15) The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, the eleven curtains having one measure. (Exodus 36:16) And he joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. (Exodus 36:17) And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set. (Exodus 36:18) And he made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent, to be one. (Exodus 36:19) And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins, dyed red, and a covering of fine leather above that. (Exodus 36:20) And for the Dwelling Place he made boards of acacia wood, standing up. (Exodus 36:21) The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half. (Exodus 36:22) Each board had two tenons for binding one to another. So he did to all the boards of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:23) And he made boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side. (Exodus 36:24) And he made forty sockets of silver to go under the twenty boards, and two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. (Exodus 36:25) And for the other side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, he made twenty boards, (Exodus 36:26) and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board. (Exodus 36:27) And he made six boards for the west side of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:28) And he made two boards for the two back corners of the Dwelling Place. (Exodus 36:29) And they were double beneath, and similarly they were complete to the top by one ring. So he did to both of them for the two corners. (Exodus 36:30) And there were eight boards, and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each of the boards. (Exodus 36:31) And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place, (Exodus 36:32) and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the Dwelling Place at the rear, westward. (Exodus 36:33) And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other. (Exodus 36:34) And he overlaid the boards with gold, and their rings he made of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. (Exodus 36:35) And he made a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine worked linen. It was made with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman. (Exodus 36:36) And he made four columns of acacia wood for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold. And he cast four sockets of silver for them. (Exodus 36:37) And he made a covering for the Tent door of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine woven linen, made by a weaver, (Exodus 36:38) and its five columns with their hooks. And he overlaid their tops and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were of bronze.
Ark of the Covenant!
(Exodus 37:1) And Betsal’ĕl made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, and a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 37:2) And he overlaid it with clean gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:3) And he cast four rings of gold for it, for its four feet, two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side. (Exodus 37:4) And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:5) And he put the poles into the rings at the sides of the ark, to lift the ark. (Exodus 37:6) And he made a lid of atonement of clean gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. (Exodus 37:7) And he made two keruḇim of beaten gold. He made them from the two ends of the lid of atonement, (Exodus 37:8) one keruḇ at one end on this side, and the other keruḇ at the other end on that side. He made the keruḇim from the lid of atonement, from the two ends. (Exodus 37:9) And the keruḇim spread out their wings above, and covered the lid of atonement with their wings, with their faces toward each other the faces of the keruḇim were turned toward the lid of atonement. (Exodus 37:10) And he made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, and a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. (Exodus 37:11) And he overlaid it with clean gold, and made a molding of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:12) And he made a rim of a handbreadth all around it, and made a molding of gold for the rim all around it. (Exodus 37:13) And he cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings on the four corners that were at its four legs. (Exodus 37:14) The rings were next to the rim, as holders for the poles to lift the table. (Exodus 37:15) And he made the poles of acacia wood to lift the table, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:16) And he made the utensils which were on the table, its dishes, and its cups, and its bowls, and its jars for pouring, of clean gold. (Exodus 37:17) And he made the lampstand of clean gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work, its base, and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs, and its blossoms were from it. (Exodus 37:18) And six branches came out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. (Exodus 37:19) There were three cups like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups like almond flowers on the other branch, a knob and a blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand. (Exodus 37:20) And on the lampstand were four cups like almond flowers, its knobs and blossoms, (Exodus 37:21) and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, for the six branches coming out of it. (Exodus 37:22) Their knobs and their branches were of it, all of it was one beaten work of clean gold. (Exodus 37:23) And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, of clean gold. (Exodus 37:24) He made it of a talent of clean gold, and all its utensils. (Exodus 37:25) And he made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high. Its horns were of it. (Exodus 37:26) And he overlaid it with clean gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns. And he made a molding for it of gold all around it. (Exodus 37:27) And he made two rings of gold for it under its molding, at its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to lift it. (Exodus 37:28) And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. (Exodus 37:29) And he made the set-apart anointing oil and the clean incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.

(Exodus 38:3) And he made all the utensils for the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the forks, and the fire holders. He made all its utensils of bronze.

(Exodus 38:17) And the sockets for the columns were of bronze, the hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver, and the overlay of their tops was of silver. And all the columns of the courtyard had bands of silver. (Exodus 38:18) And the covering for the gate of the courtyard was the work of an embroiderer, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen, and twenty cubits long, and the height along its width was five cubits, corresponding to the screens of the courtyard. (Exodus 38:19) And the columns were four and their sockets of bronze four, their hooks were of silver, and the overlay of their tops and their bands was of silver. (Exodus 38:20) And all the pegs of the Dwelling Place and of the courtyard all around, were of bronze.
Note our theme below is YHWH giving wisdom and understanding for His purposes: (Jas 1:5) if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him. (Jas 1:6) But he should ask in belief, not doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
(1Ki 7:13) And Sovereign Shelomoh sent and brought Ḥiram from Tsor. (1Ki 7:14) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tsor, a bronze worker. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to Sovereign Shelomoh and did all his work. (1Ki 7:15) And he cast two columns of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each. (1Ki 7:16) And he made two capitals of cast bronze, to put on the tops of the columns – the height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits – (1Ki 7:17) a lattice network, with wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on top of the columns, seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital. (1Ki 7:18) And he made the columns, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top, and so he did for the other capital. (1Ki 7:19) And the capitals that were on top of the columns in the hall were in the shape of lilies, four cubits. (1Ki 7:20) And there were capitals above also on the two columns, by the bulge which was next to the network. And the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows on each of the capitals all around. (1Ki 7:21) And he set up the columns by the porch of the hĕḵal. And he set up the column on the right and called its name Yaḵin, and he set up the column on the left and called its name Boʽaz. (1Ki 7:22) And on the top of the columns was lily work. Thus the work of the columns was completed. (1Ki 7:23) And he made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from one rim to the other, round all about, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured around it. (1Ki 7:24) And below its rim were ornaments all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornaments were cast in two rows when it was cast. (1Ki 7:25) It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts were inward. (1Ki 7:26) And it was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.
Remember also that as long as there is a heaven and earth His promise is- we will have seedtime and harvest! That means even food during famine!
(2Co 9:1) Indeed, concerning the service to the set-apart ones, it is unnecessary for me to write to you; (2Co 9:2) for I know your eagerness, about which I boast of you to the Makedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago. And your ardor has stirred up most of them. (2Co 9:3) But I sent the brothers, lest our boasting on behalf of you should be made empty in this part, in order that, as I said, you were ready, (2Co 9:4) lest if some Makedonians come with me and find you not ready, we – not to speak of you – should be put to shame because of our belief. (2Co 9:5) So I thought it necessary to appeal to the brothers to come to you in advance, and arrange your promised blessing beforehand – this to be ready as a blessing and not as greediness. (2Co 9:6) And this: He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows on blessing shall also reap on blessing. (2Co 9:7) Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not of grief or of necessity, for Elohim loves a joyous giver. (2Co 9:8) And Elohim is able to make all favor overflow toward you, that you, always having all you need in every way, have plenty for every good work. (2Co 9:9) As it has been written, “He scattered abroad, He gave to the poor, and His righteousness remains forever.” (2Co 9:10) And He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, shall supply and increase the seed you have sown and increase the fruit of your righteousness, (2Co 9:11) being enriched in every way for all simplicity, which works out thanksgiving to Elohim through us. (2Co 9:12) Because the rendering of this service not only supplies the needs of the set-apart ones, but also is overflowing through many thanksgivings to Elohim. (2Co 9:13) Through the proof of this service, they esteem Elohim on the submission of your confession to the Good News of Messiah, and generosity in sharing with them and all men, (2Co 9:14) and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding favor of Elohim in you. (2Co 9:15) Thanks also to Elohim for His unspeakable gift!
Loved One, I want to share with you what Yahshua spoke to me many years ago when I humbled myself and trusted YHWH about receiving from Him a prayer language in unknown tongues. He shared the importance of actually using this wonderful gift (praying in unknown tongues also called praying in the spirit as defined by Scripture: (1Co 14:14) If I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. (1Co 14:15) What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
I might even call this gift you only receive by humbling yourself and giving over your tongue; a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy (hasatan) and his camp of highly organized minions. Here’s the parable He shared with me so long ago; “A person who can read and does not- has no advantage over the one who cannot read; likewise, the one who can pray in the spirit and does not, has no advantage over the one who cannot.” My desire and prayer for you, loved one, (I believe His also) is that as a follower of Messiah Yahshua- YOU HAVE ADVANTAGE! Much in every way- especially with what is now appearing on the horizon of Planet Earth!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
Thurston
