Shabbat Shalom Loved One! (Well loved one- I missed last week- (first time in about 12 years) got very sick at a ministry function and thanks greatly for your prayers…You are much loved! This study is attached for printing and available at the website below)
Here is quick and important request that we can pray and believe for our brother and his wife in South Africa! This is something we can effectively do today as we believe and speak total deliverance and victory on their behalf – LOVED ONE! Join me in cursing this operation of hell’s tormenters and speaking His wonderful healing love and authority!
Hi Thurston -Please can I ask you and your intercessors to pray for my wife Jacqui she is fighting for her life against lung spine breast and brain cancer. We are trusting in YHWH for a miracle. Shalom, Andrew

Again, some have asked why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- which sometimes means walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience-
Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His words! Especially since we are the ten (Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
Let’s look together; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23) “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and from here forward!) Ten men from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1Johnn 4:22.
Over the last few days I have been pondering how we as followers of the Creator will, should, and must walk in the love, compassion, mercy, and power of our King. We have excellent teachers and those among us who are exposing the plans of the One World Elite who believe there must be a 90% reduction in world population and are effectively modifying our foods, air, waters, medicines and cultures to do just that. They are so assured off their complete domination of us they even make movies (Such as Contagion etc.) pointing and alluding to what is next as they laugh at our inability to do anything against their wickedness. They are correct you know. We can do nothing against these Nephilim inspired plans—hehe- but… they forget- OUR DADDY CAN and will as we draw near to Him in loving obedience! Even hasatan himself is only a created being- and will only be allowed to test to see who the REAL BRIDE OF MESSIAH is! He took the bitter waters on the cross ( The Roman sun-god Mithras-- as the worshipped the sun at sunrise service; they would squint and since light refracts it always showed them the cross- therefore, crosses are embedded on at least one Roman era arch several hundred years before Messiah came in the flesh!) so that when He returns He will come for a BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH who has made herself READY! Hallelu-Yah! That is us- Loved One!
Our Deliverer is knocking and pleading with His body to “Come out of her my people…that are a harlot church system, a harlot anything is okay culture, and a harlot country or countries. We must draw ever so near to our King in love- which to Him is OBEDIENCE! Note below that Yahshua warns us that the “ruler of this world” is coming but he has no hold on Yahshua- he must also have no hold on us if we are to have victory every time he attacks. We must have NO SIN (disobedience or transgression against the Law or Torah according to 1 John!) if we are to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our speaking (testimony).
(John 14:18) “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. (John 14:19) “Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees me, but you shall see me, because I live, and you shall live. (John 14:20) “In that day (Hebrew idiom for Day of the Lord or Jacob’s Trouble or the time approaching or upon us now) you shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who possesses my commands and guards them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.” (John 14:22) Yehuḏah – not the one from Qerioth – said to Him, “Master, what has come about that you are about to manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” (John 14:23) יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and we shall come to him and make our stay with him. (John 14:24) “He who does not love me does not guard My Words. And the word which you hear is not mine but of the Father Who sent me. (John 14:25) “These Words I have spoken to you while still with you. (John 14:26) “But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you. (John 14:27) “Peace I leave with you – My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:28) “You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you did love me, you would have rejoiced that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. (John 14:29) “And now I have told you before it takes place, that when it does take place, you shall believe. (John 14:30) “I shall no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming,1 and he possesses none at all in Me, Footnote: 1See Luke. 4:6. (John 14:31) but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father, and that as the Father commanded me, so I am doing. Rise up, let us go from here.
So here is what is available- consider carefully this relationship status and fast and pray to remove all unbelief- as all things are possible to us who believe! Remember also that WHEN we pray we are to believe we have now the thing asked for and we WILL have whatever we SAY about the matter! Look and be encouraged loved one; He promises we will have the petitions we ask for- of course we can expect for the enemy to show us just the opposite of our prayer- but STAND and give thanks anyway!
(1Jn 5:12) He who possesses the Son possesses life; he who does not possess the Son of Elohim does not possess life. (1Jn 5:13) I have written this to you who believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim, so that you know that you possess everlasting life, and so that you believe in the Name of the Son of Elohim. (1Jn 5:14) And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever (Anything) according to His desire (HIS WORD), He hears us. (1Jn 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
Our (lazy-unrepentant- pagan based holiday times) time/s is/are up? Fullness of Gentiles or Goyim judgment pronounced by Ezekiel for pagan worship practices such as Easter (Astarte) and Winter Solstice sun god worship during December 25th to be scattered over the world 390 years which for continued rebellion by the now Scattered Northern Tribes of Israel was multiplied by 7 by YHVH to extend to 2730 years- THIS JUDGMENT PERIOD AND EXTENSION IS UP rendering it TIME to Teshuva—REPENT-- for us all!
LOVED ONE; Here’s why we must forsake traditions that are not lined up with His Torah (Instructions- Word): Our doctrines (DOINGS) MUST line up with the word forever established in Heaven if we expect our Creator to confirm His word with signs and wonders following as also He told Jeremiah- “I am watching over my word to perform it!”—
(Jeremiah 1:11) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.” (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to me with their mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9) ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.
And the King James: (Mat 15:8) this people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Mat 15:9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines (doings) the commandments of men.
(Mar 7:6) He answered and said unto them, well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, this people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Mar 7:7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Mar 7:8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do (Mar 7:9) and he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
He still desires intimacy and that comes from WILLING obedience as that is the only sacrifice that is acceptable to Him! A heart to obey will always receive more instructions whereas a heart in rebellion will be cut off and allowed to stumble until REPENTANCE comes!
Yahshua reminds us: (John 14:20) “In that day (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Day of the Lord) you shall know that I am in My Father and you in me, and I in you. (John 14:21) “He who possesses my commands and guards them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest myself to him.” Then we read 1 John: (1Jn 2:15) Do not love the world or that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.1 Footnote: 1Jm. 4:4. (1Jn 2:16) Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. (1Jn 2:17) And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains forever.
Loved One- we are manifesting as the sons and daughters of the Creator as we learn to yield and obey. It is called She’mah (HEAR AND OBEY) O’ Israel! May our loving Creator give us the ears to hear Him and the courage to obey Him!
(1Jn 3:1) See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of Elohim! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (1Jn 3:2) Beloved ones, now we are children of Elohim. And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1Jn 3:3) And everyone having this expectation in Him cleanses himself, as He is clean. (1Jn 3:4) Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. (1Jn 3:5) And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. (1Jn 3:6) Everyone staying in Him does not sin. Everyone sinning has neither seen Him nor known Him.1 Footnote: 1See 2:4 & 3 John v. 11. (1Jn 3:7) Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.1 Footnote: 1See 2:29. (1Jn 3:8) The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.1 Footnote: 1See Titus 2:14. (1Jn 3:9) Everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of Elohim.
“DOING” the Gospel is not only guarding our tongues to agree with YHVH’s words but keeping ourselves pure and undefiled from the world and its systems and culture of whoredoms which contain pagan traditions. Obedience to Torah is FREEDOM!
PURE RELIGION and undefiled is this- take care of widows and orphans and keep ourselves from being polluted (naturally) by the world and its culture! (James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, 1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23. (James 1:22) And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1See Mt. 7:24-27, Luke. 6:46-49, Luke. 8:21, Rom. 2:13, Heb. 4:11, Rev. 22:14. (James 1:23) If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom, 1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1See 2:12. (James 1:26) If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. (James 1:27) Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained (Unpolluted) from the world.
Really want to know the will of YHVH for your life? Do we really want to know? Here’s how; offer our bodies as a living sacrifice- that is fast and pray and READ and MEDITATE on His Word- yes Torah, the prophets and the Renewed Covenant!
(Rom 12:1) I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim – your reasonable worship. (Rom 12:2) And do not be conformed to this world (Pollution and defiled), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, (Meditating on the Word) so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim. (His will) Today, once again, we are reminded to not add or take away from His WORDS!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Shoftim
Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9; Isaiah 51:12-52:15; (Extended); 1 Cor 5:9-13
(Deuteronomy 16:18) “Appoint judges and officers within all your gates, which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, according to your tribes. And they shall judge the people with righteous right-ruling. (Deuteronomy 16:19) “Do not distort right-ruling. Do not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. (Deuteronomy 16:20) “Follow righteousness, righteousness alone, so that you live and inherit the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Deuteronomy 16:21) “Do not plant for yourself any tree as an Ashĕrah near the altar of יהוה your Elohim that you make for yourself. (Deuteronomy 16:22) “And do not set up a pillar, which יהוה your Elohim hates. (Deuteronomy 17:1) “Do not slaughter to יהוה your Elohim a bull or sheep which has any blemish, any evil matter, for that is an abomination to יהוה your Elohim. (Comment: this is why Yahshua had to be inspected and declared by Pilate- “I find NO FAULT” in Him; as He had to be a perfect slaughter Lamb without blemish) (Deuteronomy 17:2) “When there is found in your midst, in any of your cities which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the eyes of יהוה your Elohim, in transgressing His covenant, (Deuteronomy 17:3) and has gone and served other mighty ones and bowed down to them, or to the sun or to the moon or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded, (Deuteronomy 17:4) and it has been made known to you and you have heard, and has searched diligently. Then see, if true: the matter is confirmed that such an abomination has been done in Yisra’ĕl, (Deuteronomy 17:5) then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil matter, and you shall stone to death that man or woman with stones. (Comment: Note below the requirement for 2 or 3 eye witnesses- as anything else is a FALSE witness and still applies to the right rulings of Heaven today made on our behalf) (Deuteronomy 17:6) “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is to die be put to death. He is not put to death by the mouth of one witness. (Deuteronomy 17:7) “The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 17:8) “When any matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, or between stroke and stroke – matters of strife within your gates – then you shall rise and go up to the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, (Deuteronomy 17:9) and shall come to the priests, the Lĕwites, and to the judge who is in those days, and shall inquire. And they shall declare to you the word of right-ruling, (Deuteronomy 17:10) and you shall do according to the word which they declare to you from that place which יהוה chooses. And you shall guard to do according to all that they instruct you. (Deuteronomy 17:11) “You do according to the Torah in which they teach you, according to the right-ruling which they say to you. You do not turn to the right or to the left from the word which they declare to you. (Deuteronomy 17:12) “And the man who acts arrogantly, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to serve there before יהוה your Elohim, or to the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Yisra’ĕl. (Deuteronomy 17:13) “And let all the people hear and fear, and no longer do arrogantly. (Deuteronomy 17:14) “When you come to the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and shall possess it and shall dwell in it, and you shall say, ‘Let me set a sovereign over me like all the gentiles that are around me,’ (Deuteronomy 17:15) you shall certainly set a sovereign over you whom יהוה your Elohim shall choose. Set a sovereign over you from among your brothers, you are not allowed to set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. (Deuteronomy 17:16) “Only, he is not to increase horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Mitsrayim to increase horses, for יהוה has said to you ‘Do not return that way again.’ (Deuteronomy 17:17) “And he is not to increase wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor is he to greatly increase silver and gold for himself. (Deuteronomy 17:18) “And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his reign, that he shall write for himself a copy of this Torah in a book, from the one before the priests, the Lĕwites. (Deuteronomy 17:19) “And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he learns to fear יהוה his Elohim and guard all the Words of this Torah and these laws, to do them, (Deuteronomy 17:20) so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongs his days in his reign, he and his children, in the midst of Yisra’ĕl.
YHWH is the inheritance for the true Levite Priests-
(Deuteronomy 18:1) “The priests, the Lĕwites, all the tribe of Lĕwi, have neither part nor inheritance with Yisra’ĕl. They are to eat the offerings of יהוה made by fire, and His inheritance. (Deuteronomy 18:2) “But among his brothers Lĕwi has no inheritance. יהוה is his inheritance, as He has spoken to him. (Deuteronomy 18:3) “And this is the priest’s right from the people, from those who bring an offering, whether it is bull or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach; (Deuteronomy 18:4) the first-fruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you give to him. (Deuteronomy 18:5) “For יהוה your Elohim has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the Name of יהוה, him and his sons forever. (Deuteronomy 18:6) “And when the Lĕwite comes from one of your gates, from where he has sojourned among all Yisra’ĕl, and shall come with all the desire of his being to the place which יהוה chooses, (Deuteronomy 18:7) then he shall serve in the Name of יהוה his Elohim, like all his brothers the Lĕwites, who are standing there before יהוה. (Deuteronomy 18:8) “They are to have portion for portion to eat, besides what comes from the sale of his inheritance. (Deuteronomy 18:9) “When you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.
Should there even be such a thing as “Christian” Magicians? How about talking to dead relatives and loved ones?
(Deuteronomy 18:10) “Let no one be found among you who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices divination, or a user of magic, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, (Deuteronomy 18:11) or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. (Deuteronomy 18:12) “For whoever does these are an abomination to יהוה, and because of these abomination יהוהו our Elohim drives them out from before you. (Deuteronomy 18:13) “Be perfect before יהוה your Elohim, (Deuteronomy 18:14) for these nations whom you are possessing do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, יהוה your Elohim has not appointed such for you. (Deuteronomy 18:15) “יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brothers. Listen to Him, (Yahshua) (Deuteronomy 18:16) according to all you asked of יהוה your Elohim in Ḥorĕḇ in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of יהוה my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ (Deuteronomy 18:17) “And יהוה said to me, ‘What they have spoken is good. (Deuteronomy 18:18) ‘I shall raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. (Deuteronomy 18:19) ‘And it shall be, the man who does not listen to My Words which He speaks in My Name, I require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20) ‘But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other mighty ones, even that prophet shall die.’ (Deuteronomy 18:21) “When you say in your heart ‘How do we know the word which יהוה has not spoken?’ – (Deuteronomy 18:22) when the prophet speaks in the Name of יהוה and the word is not, or comes not, that is the word which יהוה has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
Cities of REFUGE!
(Deuteronomy 19:1) “When יהוה your Elohim cuts off the nations whose land יהוה your Elohim is giving you and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses, (Deuteronomy 19:2) separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess. (Deuteronomy 19:3) “Prepare a way for yourself, and divide into three parts the border of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to inherit, that anyone who killed someone shall flee there. (Deuteronomy 19:4) “And this is the matter of the one who killed someone who flees there and live: He who smites his neighbor unintentionally, not having hated him in time past, (Deuteronomy 19:5) even he who goes to the forest with his neighbor to cut timber, and his hand swings a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies – let him flee to one of these cities and live, (Deuteronomy 19:6) lest the revenger of blood, while his displeasure is hot, pursue the one who killed someone and overtake him, because the way is long, and shall smite him, though he was not worthy of death, since he had not hated him before. (Deuteronomy 19:7) “Therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘Separate three cities for yourself.’ (Deuteronomy 19:8) “And if יהוה your Elohim enlarges your border, as He swore to your fathers, and has given you the land which He promised to give to your fathers – (Deuteronomy 19:9) when you guard all this command to do it, which I am commanding you today, to love יהוה your Elohim and to walk in His ways all the days – then you shall add three more cities for yourself besides these three, (Deuteronomy 19:10) so that innocent blood is not shed in the midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance, or blood-guilt shall be upon you. (Deuteronomy 19:11) “But when anyone hates his neighbor, and shall lie in wait for him and rise against him and smite the life from him so that he dies, then he shall flee to one of these cities, (Deuteronomy 19:12) and the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and give him into the hand of the revenger of blood, and he shall die. (Deuteronomy 19:13) “Your eye shall not pardon him, but you shall purge the blood of innocent blood from Yisra’ĕl, so that it might be well with you. (Deuteronomy 19:14) “Do not remove your neighbor’s boundary, which those in the past have set, in your inheritance which you inherit in the land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess. (Deuteronomy 19:15) “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established. (Deuteronomy 19:16) “When a malicious witness rises up against any man to accuse him of turning aside, (Deuteronomy 19:17) then both men who have the dispute shall stand before יהוה, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days. (Deuteronomy 19:18) “And the judges shall diligently search and see if the witness is a false witness, who has falsely accused his brother, (Deuteronomy 19:19) then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 19:20) “And let the rest hear and fear, and never again do this evil matter in your midst. (Deuteronomy 19:21) “And let your eye not pardon, life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.
FEAR NOT!
(Deuteronomy 20:1) “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and shall see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them, for יהוה your Elohim, who brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, is with you. (Deuteronomy 20:2) “And it shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall come and speak to the people, (Deuteronomy 20:3) and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: You are drawing near today to battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not fear, or tremble, or be afraid before them, (Deuteronomy 20:4) for יהוה your Elohim is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’ (Deuteronomy 20:5) “And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Who is the man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. (Deuteronomy 20:6) ‘And who is the man who has planted a vineyard and has not begun to use it? Let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man should begin to use it. (Deuteronomy 20:7) ‘And who is the man who is engaged to a woman and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her.’ (Deuteronomy 20:8) “And the officers shall speak further to the people, and say, ‘Who is the man who is afraid and tender of heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest the heart of his brothers faint like his heart.’ (Deuteronomy 20:9) “And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint commanders of the divisions to lead the people. (Deuteronomy 20:10) “When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you shall make a call for peace to it. (Deuteronomy 20:11) “And it shall be that if it accepts your call for peace, and shall open to you, then all the people found in it are to be your compulsory labor, and serve you. (Deuteronomy 20:12) “But if it does not make peace with you, and shall fight against you, then you shall besiege it, (Deuteronomy 20:13) and יהוה your Elohim shall give it into your hands, and you shall smite every male in it with the edge of the sword. (Deuteronomy 20:14) “Only the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you take as plunder for yourself. And you shall eat the enemies’ plunder which יהוה your Elohim gives you. (Deuteronomy 20:15) “Do so to all the cities which are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. (Deuteronomy 20:16) “Only, of the cities of these peoples which יהוה your Elohim gives you as an inheritance, you do not keep alive any that breathe, (Deuteronomy 20:17) but you shall certainly put them under the ban: the Ḥittite and the Amorite and the Kenaʽanite and the Perizzite and the Ḥiwwite and the Yeḇusite, as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you, (Deuteronomy 20:18) lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their mighty ones, and you sin against יהוה your Elohim. (Deuteronomy 20:19) “When you besiege a city for a long time by fighting against it to take it, you do not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them. If you do eat of them, do not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man to be besieged by you? (Deuteronomy 20:20) “Only the trees which you know are not trees for food you do destroy and cut down, to build siege-works against the city that is fighting against you, until it falls.
Innocent Blood
(Deuteronomy 21:1) “When anyone is found slain, lying in the field in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess, and it is not known who smote him, (Deuteronomy 21:2) then your elders and your judges shall go out, and they shall measure the distance from the slain man to the cities round about. (Deuteronomy 21:3) “And it shall be that the elders of the city nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer which has not been worked and which has not pulled with a yoke, (Deuteronomy 21:4) and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a wadi with flowing water, which is neither ploughed nor sown, and they shall break the heifer’s neck there in the wadi (Canyon). (Deuteronomy 21:5) “And the priests, the sons of Lĕwi, shall come near, for יהוה your Elohim has chosen them to serve Him and to bless in the Name of יהוה, and by their mouth every strife and every stroke is tried. (Deuteronomy 21:6) “And let all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the wadi. (Deuteronomy 21:7) “And they shall answer and say, ‘Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it. (Deuteronomy 21:8) ‘O יהוה, forgive your people Yisra’ĕl, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Yisra’ĕl.’ And the blood-guilt shall be pardoned to them. (Deuteronomy 21:9) “Thus you purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst when you do what is right in the eyes of יהוה.
Clean up from paganism and be comforted! Hallelu-YAH!
(Isa 51:12) “I, I am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid of man that dies, and of the son of man who is made like grass? (Isa 51:13) “And you have forgotten יהוה your Maker who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, and you continually fear, all the day, because of the rage of the oppressor, as he has prepared to destroy. And where is the rage of the oppressor? (Isa 51:14) “Bowed, he hastens to be loosened, that he should not die in the pit, and that his bread should not fail. (Isa 51:15) “But I am יהוה your Elohim, stirring up the sea, and its waves roar. יהוה of hosts is His Name. (Isa 51:16) “And I have put My Words in your mouth, and with the shadow of my hand I have covered you, to plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and to say to Tsiyon, ‘You are my people.’ ” (Isa 51:17) Awake, awake yourself! Rise up, O Yerushalayim, you who have drunk at the hand of יהוה the cup of His wrath. You have drunk the dregs of the cup of reeling, and drained it out. (Isa 51:18) Of all the sons she bore, she has none to guide her. And of all the sons she has brought up, none takes her by the hand. (Isa 51:19) Both these are coming upon you – who is sorry for you? Ruin and destruction, scarcity of food and sword. How shall I comfort you? (Isa 51:20) Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of all the streets, like a gazelle in a net. They are filled with the wrath of יהוה, the rebuke of your Elohim. (Isa 51:21) Therefore please hear this, you afflicted and drunk, but not with wine. (Isa 51:22) Thus said your Master, יהוה and your Elohim, who pleads the cause of His people, “See, I shall take out of your hand the cup of reeling, the dregs of the cup of my wrath – never again shall you drink it. (Isa 51:23) “And I shall put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your being, ‘Bow down, and we pass over you.’ And you made your back like the ground, and as the street, to walk over.” (Isa 52:1) Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Tsiyon put on your garments of splendor, O Yerushalayim, the set-apart city! For no more do the uncircumcised and the unclean come into you. (Isa 52:2) Shake yourself from the dust, arise, and sit down, O Yerushalayim. Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Tsiyon! (Isa 52:3) For thus said יהוה, “You have been sold for naught, and you are redeemed not with silver.” (Isa 52:4) For thus said the Master יהוה, “At first my people went down into Mitsrayim to sojourn there and Ashshur oppressed them without cause. (Isa 52:5) “And now, what have I here,” declares יהוה, “that my people are taken away for naught? Those who rule over them make them wail,” declares יהוה, “and My Name is despised all day continually. (Isa 52:6) “Therefore My people shall know My Name, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I.” (Isa 52:7) How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims deliverance, who says to Tsiyon, “Your Elohim reigns!” (Isa 52:8) The voice of your watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they shout for joy, because eye to eye they see the return of יהוה to Tsiyon. (Isa 52:9) Break forth into joy; sing together, you waste places of Yerushalayim! For יהוה shall comfort His people, He shall redeem Yerushalayim. (Isa 52:10) יהוה shall lay bare His set-apart arm in the eyes of all the nations. And all the ends of the earth shall see the deliverance of our Elohim. (Isa 52:11) Turn aside! Turn aside! Come out from there, touch not the unclean. Come out of her midst, be clean, you who bear the vessels of יהוה. (Isa 52:12) For you shall not come out in haste, nor go in flight. For יהוה is going before you, and the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl is your rear guard. (Isa 52:13) See, My Servant shall work wisely; He shall be exalted and lifted up and very high. (Isa 52:14) As many were astonished at you – so the disfigurement beyond any man’s and His form beyond the sons of men – (Isa 52:15) He shall likewise startle many nations. Sovereigns shut their mouths at Him, for what had not been recounted to them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall understand.
Flee harlotry and the ways of this world!
(1Jn 2:15) Do not love the world or that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.1 Footnote: 1Jm. 4:4. (1Jn 2:16) Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. (1Jn 2:17) And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains forever.
Come out of her- spiritually, soul (mentally and culture) and physically- body! Even among the Body of Messiah-
(1Co 5:9) I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with those who whore. (1Co 5:10) And I certainly did not mean with those of this world who whore, or with the greedy of gain, or swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. (1Co 5:11) But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who whores, or greedy of gain, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one. (1Co 5:12) For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside? (1Co 5:13) But Elohim judges those who are outside. And put away the wicked one from among you!
Loved One, I pray you walk in the spirit and not according to the lusts and directions of the flesh. That we may each repent quickly wherever we miss and stumble, and the snares set- all miss us. I further pray we ALWAYS forgive and speak forgiveness and blessings on those who do and have done evil against us. They need our love of the Father (Obedience) to break forth and come to our King! This is how they will recognize us; that we have love for one another and our King! It is the LOVE of YHWH that draws men to repentance- not our knowledge! Loved One, I pray YOU make every effort to love the Creator according to His desires and not our learned ones that are filled with pagan ritual both in Churchianity and Judaism. I pray you gain an ear to hear Him and the courage to obey Him! Thanks for your continued prayers for me- they are cherished- sometimes we get to walk alone and I thank you! Thank you! And THANK YOU! You are much loved!
Shalom to your heart, loved ones, and home!
