(Shavuot-Pentecost this Sunday is a Shabbat, a day of Spiritual gifting; receiving His power and gifts!)
Shabbat Shalom Loved One! (This study is attached for easier reading/printing!)
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies with translations, www.seedtime2harvest.com for “about us” information. Please share our studies as YHWH is restoring all to Himself- 101 countries have now checked out and read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat Shalom Loved One! Surely nothing we have done- Mighty is YHWH whose mercy endures forever as He alone restores all things!
Recently, while in Panama, a dear friend asked for prayer of reconciliation among family. Another friend and I agreed to pray this. After our prayer, I heard a strong word from Heaven-Loved One; and this was the promise guaranteed by our merciful Creator: “There is no reconciliation apart from repentance.” That’s why Yahchanan’s name (John the Baptist) means Yah’s mercy (Yah Chanan) in Hebrew. He came teaching us to REPENT! Show forth fruit worthy of repentance. In our anger, we sin not- we don’t let the Sun go down on our anger! We allow no bitter root as YHWH alone is the Law Giver and Judge, so we release them completely to His judging. Bitter roots grow and defile us- so that is not an option-b TAKE NO OFFENSE- forgive even if they did evil against you- we pray for those that hate us and do us evil and bless those that curse us- ha ha- that keeps some of us pretty busy blessing them! It is about us turning our stiff necks and obeying Him with action. We must forgive, love and be forgiven as we are all imperfect; so let’s be sure we do our part to forgive, repent of our transgressions against others and our Elohim. Sinners always have their courage removed- they will not be allowed to even look you in the eyes; frankly YHWH removes His presence as we disobey Him. We are required to repent and turn and FOLLOW HIM! Understand if we will not obey Him from a heart of love we will be fearful! I believe this study is so important much will be reviewed now from the last 4 weeks!
We must clean up and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE! We cannot follow those of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds a lot like modern Churchianity: (Ezek 22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Why are these days so critical and we must truly repent in sackcloth and ashes so to speak? I believe we are in the last days Laodicean age that Yahshua warned us about: (Rev 3:14) "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of YHWH, says this: (Rev 3:15) 'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. (Rev 3:16) 'Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold; I’ll spit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:17) 'Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, (Rev 3:18) I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire (faith-true riches) so that you may become rich, and white garments (Pure and undefiled robes of righteousness) so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve (spiritual eyes opened) to anoint your eyes so that you may see. (Rev 3:19) 'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. (Rev 3:20) 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:21) 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.
REMEMBER LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine who His bride is. She WILL make herself ready. He came once to pay the whoring wife’s penalty of death, took the bitter water for us, and provided the restoration of the fallen bride- He is coming again for His bride and not the bride without light and oil for her lamp! So rejoice again I say rejoice- we die to self that He may increase in us! DO NOT FEAR! OUR KING IS SITTING ON THE THRONE! (Rev 3:10) 'Because you have kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. (Rev 3:11) 'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. (Rev 3:12) 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my Elohim, and my new name. (Rev 3:13) 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach HaKodesh says to the assemblies.' (Remember this is not a pre-tribulation rapture, He promises to protect and use us even in the fiery furnace- so let’s be usable!) Loved One, who are we really? Were we really born for such a time as this? Is this really the “End of the Age”? These questions are being answered by unfolding events and by our testimony- that is what we say and what we do about these unfolding events. We shall overcome by the Blood of the Lamb of YHWH and our Testimony or not overcome at all. All Creation is groaning for the sons and daughters of YHWH to manifest. Seems we will be tried by fire to see if we will walk by His Ruach (Spirit) or not.
So let’s review where our study led us these last few weeks- the importance of not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! Two weeks ago we discussed how intimacy in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people! Week before last we added the POWER TWINS for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy. Last week, loved one, we addressed another method of overcoming fear! (Fear comes when we trust hasatan’s power to overcome us with evil rather than us trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us!) Obviously spirits of the enemy hasatan cannot hang around when YHWH is present- just not possible! He informs us to put on the spirit (garment) of praise for the spirit(s) of for the spirit of heaviness- So we win by entering His presence! That’s important for you and me, and them to know, because many loved ones are full of fear even if I add FEAR NOT before or after any announcement of danger approaching which has been planned by wicked men and demons/aliens (Nephillim?) who are directing them! Naturally, our blinded and deaf loved ones reject hearing truth because they do not understand these fiery trials are coming now and they do not recognize that by facing them and growing spiritually we and they have been created to overcome- but only as we learn to walk by the spirit and not the natural flesh man. Loved Ones however; will never hear us, nor receive His overcoming power until they see us loving them. Then they also can really fear not! That’s why Yahshua tells us when He sees us loving our brothers and sisters, only then are we really His disciples! If they don’t have ears to hear us because of our lack of mercy, compassion, and love; we will have failed as followers of Messiah Yahshua and can produce no fruit that remains.
Again, remember all things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they are not possible for you and I is our UNBELIEF! So should we not make every active effort on our parts to rid ourselves of all UNBELIEF? What gets rid of unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s review again why we can believe that statement: (Mar 9:16) And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" (Mar 9:17) And one of the crowd answered Him, "Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; (Mar 9:18) and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it." (Mar 9:19) And He *answered them and *said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!" (Mar 9:20) They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. (Mar 9:21) And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
(Mar 9:22) "It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us!" (Mar 9:23) And Yahshua said to him, “‘if you can?' All things are possible to him who believes." (Mar 9:24) Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief.” (Mar 9:25) When Yahshua saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again." (Mar 9:26) After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!" (Mar 9:27) But Yahshua took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up. (Mar 9:28) When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?" (Looking in Matthew) (Mat 17:20) And יהושע said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you have belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you. (Mat 17:21) “This kind does not go out except through prayer and fasting.” (Kind of what- The topic: UNBELIEF!) So the topic is not some great demon, even the head of all demons must bow to the name. The problem and topic here is unbelief. We get rid of unbelief by prayer and fasting! Prayer AND Fasting, not prayer without fasting or fasting without prayer- THESE ARE YHWH’S POWER TWINS! If we really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying- some have been taken captive to do hasatan’s will- they are blinded by the god of this world- the gates opf hell will open and they will be released to make a right choice only when we get rid of our unbelief and tear down kick down the gates of hell.…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we become under great fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and me? NOT IF we pray and fast and overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebraic or Hebrew thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND OBEY! Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove our unbelief!
Why is it so important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?
(Rev 21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Rev 21:8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Okay it is time to review the GREATEST TOOL YHWH gave us for OVERCOMING fear and all the schemes of the enemy; this particular gift has been much maligned and attacked by religion; doctrines of devils, and hasatan’s entire battle forces. We believers have been lied to throughout the ages that this gift is useless, only available for a select few (of which you and I are not of course), is passed away, or even demonic. Why was everything the enemy had assigned to wipe out this “secret weapon” given by YHWH? Obviously, the enemy of our souls wants us defenseless. Think praying in the spirit is Demonic? Hmm. Yahshua warned us to NOT assign the works of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to demons. Let’s look closer: (Mat 12:22) Then they brought to Him one who was demon-possessed, blind and dumb. And He healed him, so that the blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.(Mat 12:23) And all the crowds were amazed and said, “Is this the Son of Dawiḏ?” (Mat 12:24) But when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This one does not cast out demons except by Beʽelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” (Comment- assigning the works of the Ruach HaKodesh – Holy Spirit to the work of demons) (Mat 12:25) And יהושע knew their thoughts, and said to them, “Every Kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. (Mat 12:26) “And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then does his Kingdom stand? (Mat 12:27) “And if I, by Beʽelzebul, do cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they shall be your judges. (Mat 12:28) “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of Elohim, then the reign of Elohim has come upon you. (Mat 12:29) “Or how is one able to enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he shall plunder his house. (Mat 12:30) “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters abroad. (Mat 12:31) “Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men. (Mat 12:32) “And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Mat 12:33) “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. (Mat 12:34) “You brood of adders (Vipers)! How are you- who are evil able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. (Mat 12:35) “The good man brings forth what is good from the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man brings forth what is wicked from the wicked treasure. (Mat 12:36) “And I say to you that for every idle (careless) word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Mat 12:37) “For by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous (Condemned).”
Seems we might want to realign ourselves with what Yahshua says and be very careful to not speak our own thoughts and ideas and religion which assign YHWH’s mighty and miraculous gifts and works to hasatan and his demons. We should not be so prideful and arrogant to consider we have no need for this special weapon and gift of OVERCOMING. Are we so captured by hasatan that we prefer to be “accepted” by our culture, family and friends rather than submitting ourselves to Yah’s plans for our lives here? Choice time loved one: Do we want to be accepted and approved by YHWH’s favor or our family and friends? He is asking us to make the choice. We will fall on Him (The word made flesh that dwelled among us) and die to our own person (ality) or He will fall on us and pulverize us! (Mat 21:43) Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of YHWH shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Mat 21:44) And whosoever shall fall on this stone (The Word of YHWH- Yahshua- the Chief Cornerstone) shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Okay let’s continue to review as we again move deeper and discover the absolute guaranteed victory gift; Praying in the Spirit or unknown tongues- where it is guaranteed to have no known interpretation. These are unknown tongues for personal edification or charging your spiritual battery.
How do we build up our trust/faith and overcome fear?
(Jud 1:14) And Ḥanoḵ, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, יהוה comes with His myriads of set-apart ones, (Jud 1:15) to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jud 1:16) These are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts, and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of gain. (Jud 1:17) But you, beloved ones, remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע Messiah, (Jud 1:18) because they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own wicked lusts. (Jud 1:19) These are the ones who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. (Jud 1:20) But you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief, praying in the Set-apart (Holy) Spirit, (Jud 1:21) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim, looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah unto everlasting life.
Earnestly Seek His gifts- if they were demonic, had no power to help us, or were passed away- would He ask us to earnestly seek them? Only a Doctrine of Demons would say so…also note- this IS how you pursue love, because this is how we know we are even praying as we ought to be and without ceasing is now possible with this wonderful gift available to all for our personal building up our faith and trust., to be His witnesses and produce any fruit that will actually remain after us.
(1Co 14:1) Pursue love, and earnestly seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy. (1Co 14:2) For he who is speaking in a (unknown) tongue does not speak to men but to YHWH Elohim, for no man understands, but in the Spirit he speaks secrets (Mysteries). (Comment: these mysteries are questions and things we must learn and be downloaded answers about securing our victory that Yahshua paid for- basically our spirit man is asking the perfect questions and YHWH is downloading the answers, furthermore how could there be interpretation if NO MAN UNDERSTANDS? Tongues for an assembly will always have interpretation but that particular gift is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit which only operates as the Spirit wills and is for edifying the Assembly.) (1Co 14:3) But he who is prophesying speaks up building and encouragement and comfort to men. (1Co 14:4) He who is speaking in an (unknown prayer) tongue builds up or edifies himself, but he who is prophesying builds up the assembly. (1Co 14:5) Now I wish you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you might prophesy, for he who is prophesying is greater than he who is speaking with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the assembly might receive up-building.
By an act of our submission of our own wills we can receive and yield to our own prayer language which no man understands! (Available to all and not an act AS THE SPIRIT WILLS as are the nine gifts of the Spirit including Tongues with interpretation listed in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12 which are all supernatural power and revelatory gifts) Let’s look at how we can walk in His power and become His witness as that is the only way He has provided for us to produce fruit that remains. Yahshua warns us to not reject this gift due to being fearful we might receive a demon…remember Luke 10:19 as He gave us power to overcome all the power of the enemy and trample on snakes and scorpions-(representing the demonic forces of hasatan.
Want to be a witness? The promise is for whosoever will submit and receive His power!
(Act 1:8) “But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and (Then and only then) you shall be my witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.” (Act 1:9) And having said this, while they were looking on, He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Everyone who asks (submission to the Word and desire allows us to receive His power to overcome fear and all the demonic realm)
(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, (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 (Holy) Spirit to those asking Him!”
Yahshua is the Baptizer in the Ruach HaKodesh!
(John 1:30) “This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has become before me, for He was before me.’1 Footnote: 1See v. 15. (John 1:31) “And I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Yisra’Ä•l, therefore I came immersing in water.” (John 1:32) And Yoḥanan bore witness, saying, “I have seen the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and remain on Him. (John 1:33) “And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining on Him, this is He who immerses (baptizes- mikvah) in the Set-apart Spirit.’
Rivers of Living Water are the prayers that are Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit directed Unknown tongues) as they go downstream and provide victory to every situation- even when we don’t know what to pray for as we ought- He does and has never missed it on a prayer- so we should be smart enough to yield our own tongues which James declares are likened to the rudder to our ship and as a bridle is to a horse gives us our direction since no man can tame his tongue only YHWH can and that only by our permission and yielding! Rivers are better than a “well of salvation” as a well can produce fruit for you and a few (Maybe a small village or household) but a river goes downstream and produces life and victory everywhere it goes! Hallelu-YAH! Remember that in Acts 2, THEY SPOKE (ALL of them present) as YHWH gave the utterance! You too have to open your mouth to speak and allow Him to give the utterance- He will not force you to yield and surrender- You are allowed to surrender or not- try lifting up hands without wrath or doubt and yield- DON’T JUDGE SMALL BERGINNINGS OR PARTICULAR SOUNDS OR GROANINGS- Just yield your tongue and trust Him and ask Him to mikvah (Baptize) you to overflowing in His Spirit and His goodness as you forgive everyone who has done evil against you- that you may also be forgiven and receive by faith and trusting Him as HE really IS ALIVE and will baptize you to overflowing rivers in His Ruach! Remember Loved One. He is no respecter of persons as Kefa (Peter) stated; and as He told Jeremiah- “You have seen correctly Jeremiah- I am watching over my word to perform it!” (Jeremiah1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over y word to do it.”
Note below these were already believers and afterward could receive His Spirit!
(John 7:37) And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me, and let him who believes in me drink. (John 7:38) “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 44:3, Jer. 2:13, Jer. 17:13, Zechariah. 14:8, Ps. 36:8,9, Prov.14:27, John 4:10, John 6:63, 1 Cor. 10:4, Rev. 7:17, Rev. 21:6, Rev. 22:1 & 17. (John 7:39) And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given, 1 because יהושע was not yet esteemed. Footnote: 1Ezek. 36:26-27, Joel 2:28-32, Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2:4 & 33, Acts 10:44-47, Acts 11:15-16, Eph. 5:18.
Concerning the wonderful gift of praying in the Spirit to overcome; Yahshua showed me something many years ago with the following analogy; “Son, those who can read books and never do have no advantage over the person who CANNOT read; likewise those who can pray in the Spirit and do not, have NO ADVANTAGE over the heathen who CANNOT!”
First a review of YHWH’s 9 Supernatural Gifts available to believers as the Ruach HaKodesh wills for the benefit of all: 1 Corinthians 12- Understand you will need all His gifts to produce the fruit you were created for as we move rapidly into Jacob’s Trouble. As you spend time reading and understanding, you will be trusted with more of His gifts to benefit others. I will share an excerpt from Kathy Walters I think you will enjoy. No, she does not know Torah, but we need what those have and they need what we have. It is all about Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration. Moses TRUTH represents and Elijah represents SPIRIT!
We will walk by the Ruach HaKodesh and demonstrate His power in these days OR we will not walk long! He has provided the means to produce fruit that will remain!
(1Co 2:1) And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1Co 2:2) For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1Co 2:3) And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1Co 2:4) And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1Co 2:5) in order that your belief should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim.
MORE ON EAGLES AND SOARING – Kathy Walters
Three witnesses:
The Last Sunday in May I was preaching in Adelaide, Australia at the "Field of Dreams." In the worship times one of the songs was about how we can become as strong as eagles. Half of my message that morning was on "Eagles and Chickens."
Last Friday a friend invited me to attend the monthly Full Gospel Businessmen's Banquet. I had previously preached at their last Banquet. The speaker was a Messianic Jew and spoke on "Eagles and Chickens." Now unknown to me Kathie had sent out a message on "Soaring like an Eagle." "Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established." So it appears YHWH is getting our attention. So to add to Kathie's word I'll share a little of what I preached on.
Eagles and chickens (Excerpts from Equipping the Younger Saints -David Walters) The main difference between chickens and eagles is that chickens can't fly; they are earthbound. Their heads are down in the dirt; looking, searching, digging, and scratching for grubs, worms and seeds, and just like the lifestyle of the non-believers, they know nothing of the spiritual realm. Also there is no real future for chickens! The best they can expect is "Colonel Sanders." If they do happen to be religious then in Georgia there are plenty of "Church's Fried Chicken" franchises.
The eagle on the other hand is very different, not only can it fly, but it flies higher than most birds. This is not done by flapping its wings like crazy, but it waits for the wind currents and soars up higher and higher as the wind beneath its wings lifts it onto a higher wind current. Sound like the Holy Spirit? As the eagle becomes old it flies up to it's nest in a high rock in the cliffs and then waits. Its feathers begin to shed until it's becomes bald. Then it starts to break it's beak off. As it waits the oil ducts under it's skin begins to activate and it grows new feathers. A new beak begins to grow and it's strength is renewed and it becomes like a brand new eagle. "Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." (Isa.41:30-31)
Eagle feathers
I'm told that an eagle has nine major feathers on each of its wings. If it loses one of the feathers it cannot fly properly. There are nine fruits of the spirit; Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self control. These fruits are produced as we allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us and also there are nine gifts.
The nine gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh are prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues which enables us to talk like YHWH. The word of knowledge the word of wisdom and the discerning of spirits that enables us to think like YHWH; then faith, healing and miracles which enables us to act like YHWH. Some religious people say that the fruits are what we are to seek and the gifts have finished. Others say that as long as a person is gifted and anointed their character and behavior is secondary. But to fly like an eagle and fulfill our destiny we need all the fruits and gifts to function in our lives. One other thing! When an eaglet is determined by its mother that it's time it should learn to fly she makes the nest uncomfortable so the eaglet is feeling unhappy in the nest. As she nudges the young eaglet out of the nest from high up in the rocks that baby drops like a stone. She then swoops down an catches the eaglet. She does this several times until again she determines the eaglet is now capable of flying. So as that baby eaglet drops down from the nest high up in the rocks and its speed goes faster and faster it must make a final decision. "Am I an eagle or am I a chicken? Am I a chicken or am I an eagle?" If it thinks it's a chicken it will hit the ground and die, but if it realizes it's an eagle it will spread its wings and fly! Let's ask ourselves the final question; were we created to be chickens or eagles? Eagle saints arise! YHWH has adventures for us to do the impossible. Let's remember most of what is expected in the believer’s life is impossible. But with YHWH all things are possible to him that believes. In fact even the Torah life is impossible to live and there was only one that could live it; Yahshua, so let Him live is life in you.
As we read and understand and make ourselves available to walk in His 9 spiritual gifts they are appropriated for the benefit of others!
(1Co 12:1) Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. (Ignorant) (1Co 12:2) You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. (1Co 12:3) Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of Elohim ever says "Yahshua is accursed!" and no one can say "Yahshua is Master" except in the Holy Spirit. (1Co 12:4) Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; (1Co 12:5) and there are varieties of service, but the same Master; (1Co 12:6) and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same Elohim who empowers them all in everyone. (1Co 12:7) To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (1Co 12:8) For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance (Word) of wisdom, and to another the utterance (Word) of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, (1Co 12:10) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between (Discerning) spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11) All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills. (1Co 12:12) For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Messiah. (1Co 12:13) For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Yehudans or Goyim, (Scattered Tribes of Ephraim) slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit. (1Co 12:14) For the body does not consist of one member but of many. (1Co 12:15) If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. (1Co 12:16) And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. (1Co 12:17) If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? (1Co 12:18) But as it is, YHWH arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. (1Co 12:19) If all were a single member, where would the body be? (1Co 12:20) As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. (1Co 12:21) The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." (1Co 12:22) On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, (1Co 12:23) and on those parts of the body that we think are less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, (1Co 12:24) which our more presentable parts do not require. But YHWH has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, (1Co 12:25) that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. (1Co 12:26) If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. (1Co 12:27) Now you are the body of Messiah and individually members of it. (1Co 12:28) And YHWH has appointed in the Assembly of believer’s first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. (1Co 12:29) Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? (1Co 12:30) Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? (Only as the Spirit wills and different from praying in the Spirit where no man understands and builds up your trust and faith)) (1Co 12:31) But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
With that understanding ESTABLISHED in our hearts and minds; that YHWH ALONE has made supernatural provision for us to be DOERS of HIS WORD; NOT HEARER’S ONLY, we turn to this week’s Torah Scriptures.
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Miketz “At the End”
Genesis 41:1-44:17; 1 Kings 3:15-4:1; 1 Kings 7:40-51; 1 Corinthians 2-1-5;
YHWH still gives dreams and interpretations and Strategies for RESTORATION!
(Gen 41:1) And it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river, (Gen 41:2) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Gen 41:3) then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. (Gen 41:4) And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. (Gen 41:5) And he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good, (Gen 41:6) and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Gen 41:7) And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream. (Gen 41:8) And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh. (Gen 41:9) Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my crimes this day. (Gen 41:10) “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, (Gen 41:11) each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. (Gen 41:12) “And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream. (Gen 41:13) “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” (Gen 41:14) Then Pharaoh sent and called YosÄ•ph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh. (Gen 41:15) And Pharaoh said to YosÄ•ph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to interpret it.” (Gen 41:16) And YosÄ•ph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me, let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.” (Gen 41:17) And Pharaoh said to YosÄ•ph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river (Gen 41:18) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Gen 41:19) then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:20) “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. (Gen 41:21) “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. (Gen 41:22) “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good, (Gen 41:23) then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Gen 41:24) “And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.” (Gen 41:25) And YosÄ•ph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: (Gen 41:26) “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream. (Gen 41:27) “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food. (Gen 41:28) “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. (Gen 41:29) “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim, (Gen 41:30) but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land, (Gen 41:31) and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe. (Gen 41:32) “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it. (Gen 41:33) “And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:34) “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty. (Gen 41:35) “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. (Gen 41:36) “And the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food.” (Gen 41:37) And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. (Gen 41:38) And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” (Gen 41:39) Then Pharaoh said to YosÄ•ph, “Since Elohim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. (Gen 41:40) “Be over my house, you yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am greater than you.” (Gen 41:41) And Pharaoh said to YosÄ•ph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Gen 41:42) And Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it on YosÄ•ph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. (Gen 41:43) And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:44) And Pharaoh said to YosÄ•ph, “I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Gen 41:45) And Pharaoh called YosÄ•ph’s name Zaphnath-PaʽnÄ•aḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. And YosÄ•ph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:46) Now YosÄ•ph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim. And YosÄ•ph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:47) And in the seven years of plenty the ground brought forth generously. (Gen 41:48) And he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. (Gen 41:49) Thus YosÄ•ph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting, for it was without number. (Gen 41:50) And to YosÄ•ph were born two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Gen 41:51) And YosÄ•ph called the name of the first-born Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” (Gen 41:52) And the name of the second he called Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction.” (Gen 41:53) And the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end, (Gen 41:54) and the seven years of scarcity of food began to come, as YosÄ•ph had said. And the scarcity of food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim there was bread. (Gen 41:55) But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered, and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrites, “Go to YosÄ•ph, do whatever he says to you.” (Gen 41:56) And the scarcity of food was over all the face of the earth, and YosÄ•ph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of food was severe in the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:57) And all the earth came to YosÄ•ph in Mitsrayim to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.
Restoration in progress- obstacles are a stepping stone to our DELIVERER!
(Gen 42:1) And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw that there was grain in Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ said to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?” (Gen 42:2) And he said, “See, I have heard that there is grain in Mitsrayim. Go down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die.” (Gen 42:3) And YosÄ•ph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. (Gen 42:4) But Yaʽaqoḇ did not send YosÄ•ph’s brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.” (Gen 42:5) And the sons of Yisra’Ä•l went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan. (Gen 42:6) And YosÄ•ph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And YosÄ•ph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. (Gen 42:7) And YosÄ•ph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food.” (Gen 42:8) So YosÄ•ph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. (Gen 42:9) And YosÄ•ph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!” (Gen 42:10) And they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food. (Gen 42:11) “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.” (Gen 42:12) But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” (Gen 42:13) And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” (Gen 42:14) And YosÄ•ph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ (Gen 42:15) “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. (Gen 42:16) “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!” (Gen 42:17) And he put them all together in prison for three days. (Gen 42:18) Now YosÄ•ph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear Elohim: (Gen 42:19) “If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses. (Gen 42:20) “And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed, and you do not die.” And so they did.(Gen 42:21) And they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us.” (Gen 42:22) And Re’uḇÄ•n answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of us.” (Gen 42:23) And they did not know that YosÄ•ph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. (Gen 42:24) And he turned himself away from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shimʽon from them and bound him before their eyes. (Gen 42:25) And YosÄ•ph commanded and they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them. (Gen 42:26) So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there. (Gen 42:27) And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack! (Gen 42:28) And he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!” And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, “What is this that Elohim has done to us?” (Gen 42:29) So they came to Yaʽaqoḇ their father in the land of Kenaʽan and reported to him all that befell them, saying, (Gen 42:30) “The man, the master of the land, spoke to us harshly, and took us for spies of the land. (Gen 42:31) “But we said to him, ‘We are trustworthy, we are not spies. (Gen 42:32) ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Kenaʽan.’ (Gen 42:33) “And the man, the master of the land, said to us, ‘by this I know that you are trustworthy: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the scarcity of food of your households, and go. (Gen 42:34) ‘And bring your youngest brother to me, then I know that you are not spies, but that you are trustworthy – I give your brother to you, and you move about in the land.’ ” (Gen 42:35) and it came to be as they emptied their sacks, that look, the bundle of each man’s silver was in his sack! And when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid. (Gen 42:36) And Yaʽaqoḇ their father said to them, “You have bereaved me – YosÄ•ph is no more, and Shimʽon is no more, and you would take Binyamin! All this is against me.” (Gen 42:37) So Re’uḇÄ•n spoke to his father, saying, “Take the lives of my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I myself bring him back to you.” (Gen 42:38) But he said, “My son is not going down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should come to him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my grey hair with sorrow to the grave.”
Through great trials and troubles we are made usable for YHWH’s deliverance!
(Gen 43:1) But the scarcity of food was severe in the land. (Gen 43:2) And it came to be, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Mitsrayim that their father said to them, “Go back, and buy us a little food.” (Gen 43:3) But Yehuḏah spoke to him, saying, “The man vehemently warned us, saying, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Gen 43:4) “If you let our brother go with us, we go down and buy you food. (Gen 43:5) “But if you do not let him go, we do not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Gen 43:6) And Yisra’Ä•l said, “Why did you do evil to me to inform the man that you still had another brother?” (Gen 43:7) And they said, “The man kept asking about us and our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ And we informed him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” (Gen 43:8) And Yehuḏah said to Yisra’Ä•l his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, and live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. (Gen 43:9) “I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever. (Gen 43:10) “For if we had not delayed, truly by now we could have returned this second time.” (Gen 43:11) And their father Yisra’Ä•l said to them, “If so, then do this: Take some of the best fruit of the land in your vessels and bring a present down for the man, a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds. (Gen 43:12) “And take double silver in your hand, and take back in your hand the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. It could have been a mistake. (Gen 43:13) “And take your brother, and arise, go back to the man. (Gen 43:14) “And Äšl Shaddai give to you compassion before the man, so that he shall release your other brother and Binyamin. And I, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved!” (Gen 43:15) And the men took that present and Binyamin, and they took double the amount of silver in their hand, and arose and went down to Mitsrayim, and stood before YosÄ•ph. (Gen 43:16) And YosÄ•ph saw Binyamin with them, and said to the one over his house, “Bring the men home, and make a great slaughter, and prepare, for these men are to eat with me at noon.” (Gen 43:17) And the man did as YosÄ•ph said, and the man brought the men into YosÄ•ph’s house. (Gen 43:18) And the men were afraid because they were brought into YosÄ•ph’s house. And they said, “It is because of the silver, which was put back into our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, to throw himself upon us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves, our donkeys too.” (Gen 43:19) So they came near to the man over the house of YosÄ•ph, and spoke to him at the door of the house, (Gen 43:20) and said, “O my master, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, (Gen 43:21) but it came to be, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks and saw each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack, our silver in its weight. And we have brought it back in our hand. (Gen 43:22) “And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.” (Gen 43:23) But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!” And he brought Shimʽon out to them. (Gen 43:24) And the man brought the men into YosÄ•ph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys fodder. (Gen 43:25) And they made the present ready for YosÄ•ph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there. (Gen 43:26) And when YosÄ•ph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth. (Gen 43:27) And he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” (Gen 43:28) And they said, “Your servant our father is in good health, he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and did obeisance. (Gen 43:29) And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Binyamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “Elohim show favor to you, my son.” (Gen 43:30) And YosÄ•ph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and wept there. (Gen 43:31) Then he washed his face and came out, and controlled himself, and said, “Serve the food.” (Gen 43:32) And they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Heḇrews, for that is an abomination to the Mitsrites. (Gen 43:33) And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other in astonishment. (Gen 43:34) And he took portions to them from before him, but Binyamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.
Trap set for restoration!
(Gen 44:1) And he commanded the one over his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as they are able to bear, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack. (Gen 44:2) “And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain.” And he did according to the word of YosÄ•ph which he spoke. (Gen 44:3) As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. (Gen 44:4) And when they had gone out of the city, not having gone far, YosÄ•ph said to the one over his house, “Rise up, follow the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? (Gen 44:5) ‘Is this not the one from which my master drinks, and with which he indeed divines? You have done evil in what you have done.’ ” (Gen 44:6) So he overtook them and spoke these words to them. (Gen 44:7) And they said to him, “Why does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do according to this word. (Gen 44:8) “See, we brought back to you from the land of Kenaʽan the silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master’s house? (Gen 44:9) “With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall become my master’s slaves as well.” (Gen 44:10) And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent.” (Gen 44:11) And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack. (Gen 44:12) And he searched, with the oldest first and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin’s sack. (Gen 44:13) And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went back to the city. (Gen 44:14) And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to YosÄ•ph’s house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground. (Gen 44:15) And YosÄ•ph said to them, “What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that a man like me indeed divines?” (Gen 44:16) And Yehuḏah said, “What do we say to my master? What do we speak? Or how do we clear ourselves? Elohim has found out the crookedness of your servants. See, we are my master’s slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found.” (Gen 44:17) But he said, “Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he becomes my slave. And you go up in peace to your father.”
Solomon sought the wisdom that is from above- we can and should also!
(1Ki 3:15) And Shelomoh awoke, and see, it was a dream! And he came into Yerushalayim and stood before the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and offered up burnt offerings and made peace offerings. And he made a feast for all his servants. (1Ki 3:16) Then two women, whores, came to the sovereign, and stood before him. (1Ki 3:17) And one woman said, “O my master, this woman and I dwell in the same house. And I gave birth while she was in the house. (1Ki 3:18) “And it came to be, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together. There was no one else with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. (1Ki 3:19) “Then this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him. (1Ki 3:20) “And she rose up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your female servant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1Ki 3:21) “And I rose up in the morning to nurse my son and saw he was dead. But I looked at him closely in the morning, and saw he was not my son whom I had borne.” (1Ki 3:22) And the other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And the first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” And they spoke before the sovereign. (1Ki 3:23) And the sovereign said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one,’ while the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’ ” (1Ki 3:24) And the sovereign said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the sovereign. (1Ki 3:25) And the sovereign said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” (1Ki 3:26) And the woman whose son was living spoke to the sovereign, for she was overcome with compassion for her son. And she said, “O my master, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” (1Ki 3:27) And the sovereign answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him – she is his mother.” (1Ki 3:28) And all Yisra’Ä•l heard of the right- ruling which the sovereign had rendered. And they feared the sovereign, for they saw that the wisdom of Elohim was in him to do right-ruling. (1Ki 4:1) And it came to be that Sovereign Shelomoh was sovereign over all Yisra’Ä•l.
Building up the House or Temple now is not made by human hands but is your body!
(1Ki 7:40) And Ḥiram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And Ḥiram completed doing all the work that he was to do for Sovereign Shelomoh on the House of יהוה: (1Ki 7:41) the two columns, and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns, and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the columns; (1Ki 7:42) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns; (1Ki 7:43) and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; (1Ki 7:44) and the one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; (1Ki 7:45) and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these utensils which Ḥiram made for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House of יהוה were of polished bronze. (1Ki 7:46) The sovereign had them cast in clay in the district of YardÄ•n between Sukkoth and Tsarethan. (1Ki 7:47) And Shelomoh left all the utensils unweighed, because they were many, nor was the weight of the bronze searched out. (1Ki 7:48) So Shelomoh made all the utensils for the House of יהוה: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread; (1Ki 7:49) and the lamp stands of refined gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the Speaking Place, with the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold; (1Ki 7:50) and the basins, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined gold, and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Set-apart Place, and for the doors of the house of the HÄ•ḵal. (1Ki 7:51) Thus all the work which Sovereign Shelomoh had done for the House of יהוה was completed. And Shelomoh brought in the set-apart items of his father Dawiḏ: the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the House of יהוה.
My prayer for you loved one, is that you become empowered to demonstrate His power as listed following and produce the fruit that remains! (1Co 2:1) And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1Co 2:2) For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1Co 2:3) And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1Co 2:4) And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1Co 2:5) in order that your belief/trust should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim. 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! I pray you are crucified in Messiah and that you no longer live according to the flesh, but walk according to the spirit, and the life you live, you live in Him who loves you and gave Himself up for you! Thanks for your timely prayers for me that I also walk in power, love and obedience; and that YHWH directs, provides, and protects me and my loved ones! I believe those wonderful prayers are seeds for your own loved ones- PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS COMING! HALLELU-YAH! You are much loved!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston
