Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!

drawing all to Himself- Hallelu-YAH! Over100 countries have now checked out and
read our weekly Torah Studies at Shabbat Shalom Loved One! Surely nothing we
have done- YHWH is restoring all things and that includes us who were once
DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy
endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered!
Hallelu-YAH! Here is an interesting site sent to me recently: http://sevenvisions.net/seventh.htm

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- explanation is
continued at end of this week’s study…
Last
few weeks we’ve discussed: WE NEED HIS POWER TO OVERCOME and we still do! Remember the importance of not
fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! We considered the power of our
words agreeing with Him and how intimacy in worship brings
His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people and being filled
with His Ruach! (Pro
18:21) Death and life are in the
power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit!
This
has been an extremely difficult 3-4 weeks for me personally.
About 3 ½ weeks ago my left heel and ankle became swollen to nearly twice its
normal size. Unable to walk; l I doubled up on frequencies (RIFE-in water) I had available from my dear friend Dr. Walter in
Costa Rica and seemed to be well within a week. Then about 1 week ago I was bit
while sleeping on a floor at a friend’s home in Texas and turned on the light
to kill whatever it was and saw a very thin black beetle looking bug with a
large pincher. No big deal I thought and went back to sleep. Surprisingly,
after 2 days my foot was swollen again nearly twice its normal size and went up
to my knee- my whole leg was swollen and seems to be paralyzing. I could not
walk and had excruciating pain; something had shut down my immune system. My
fiancée then took me to the hospital to run tests. Prior to agreeing to go; I
made a last ditch effort before giving into to western medicine… I called my
sisters to pray, my cousin Eddie to pray, and my prophetic visionary friend
Clay to pray for me- which they all did.
However-
Clay said by a word of knowledge (One
of the 9 gifts of the Spirit that operates as YHWH alone wills) before I
could explain my condition: “You
have been bitten by an ASSASSIN bug- it can paralyze you and even kills some
people but can take very many months to get well even in total care and bed
rest!” I was shocked and we immediately googled what he said and saw- and
YES- this is the bug that bit me and I killed while I was sleeping on the
floor!” I thought, since I am getting married in a month that was prognosis is unacceptable.
Hehe- the dying part especially! Off to
the hospital I go for a day of tests which saw no blood clot but the doctor on
duty said he would have to transfer me to a larger hospital where they would
need to do surgery today! He
quickly added – “If we wait until tomorrow you may lose your leg!” I
was neither afraid nor amused- I know the western medicine scare tactics using
fear to have you leaping toward immediate and costly (Health wise and dollar wise) corporate objectives. My fiancée and I agreed that was not an alternative
so I called my Naturopathic Doctor and longtime friend of 20 years who lectures
around the world- and has personally cleared up 28 MS patients within a few
months using natural and dental treatments.
Here
is what happened: Upon receiving my call Dr. Steve said, “Come to our clinic in
Mexico and we can have you start treatments with IV’s immediately- I expect we
have an alternative that will be far less costly and not leave a 3” gash/cut in
your leg from your knee to your ankle- it may take a few weeks.” Loved Ones – I
went and have been through three days of
various IV’s of latest world renowned research and I am missing all my swelling
and nearly walking again! Hallelu-Yah- my point for sharing is YHWH is always
on the throne and will direct us to better alternatives than the world will
receive. This is what effective fervent prayer does- from
Righteous Ones- it avails much! Thank you Loved Ones!
THE
REST OF THE STORY… the reason I am sharing the story above- unfinished as it is –
is to share a prophetic revelation my friend had. He called back to tell after wrestling with
YHWH all day that the reason I was bit on the foot and ear was I was leaving
doors open for hasatan to strike! YIKES I thought…so what are they? He replied,
“Your foot speaks of turning the wrong direction and your ear declares you are
not hearing Him correctly for some reason as you are being IMPATIENT. I was
somewhat surprised and prayed and asked YHWH to reveal to me. I received
nothing for 2 days. I was finishing a 10 day fast and approximately 3 hours
after that fast finished, I heard distinctly from Heaven! Falling asleep; here’s
what I was told as I had my pillows under my leg trying to remove the pain;
“Turn back the other direction!” (This
made no sense to me as I had just turned to my right to try and get some pain
relief- but I did as told quickly- only within 30 seconds to forget completely and
turn back and try and get more comfortable and remove pain.) SO- did I
really obey? NOPE- I totally had turned the wrong way again- now surprisingly
to me this happened 3 times- with me doing the same thing each time- not even
aware of my blunders- at which point YHWH spoke and lovingly taught me the
meaning of the prophetic utterance from my friend. “Son, I have taught you much and you know and quickly obey- but soon
forget and turn based on what you see and feel. You teach correctly that if
people do not obey me they have not REALLY
heard me at all- so that is why I shared correction with you- don’t be
impatient with Me, I know what is best and you can trust My Instructions-
TORAH- written OR spoken directly to you- My sheep hear my voice and I am
getting you ready for the fiery trials ahead during the time of Jacob’s
Troubles. YOU MUST OBEY ME AND FEAR NOT- I am with you and will direct
your steps; provide for you and use you both in a mighty way!” So, Loved One, hopefully
you can use my blunders to make minor adjustments in your own walk with a
loving and merciful King we have! Hallelu-YAH!
DO NOT FEAR! OUR KING IS STILL 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, (Comment: not a pre-tribulation rapture- but
His assurance and protection through the storms) 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.' (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. 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.
We
are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he
purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2Ti 1:7) For Elohim has not given us a spirit of
cowardice (Fear), but of power and of
love and of self-control (Sound mind).
We must clean up
and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once
DRY BONES to become the restored! 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.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick
our own)
Are
WE Laodicean’s? YIKES well… NOT if we were DRY BONES but as Ezekiel prophesied-
we are coming alive as His body.
Note the three conditions of our warning from Yahshua below!
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-believing- which is 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.
It is our
destiny to seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory
realm; His mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah 29:11)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12) ‘Then
you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you.
(Jeremiah 29:13) ‘And
you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you
search for me with all your heart1.
Footnote: 1Dt. 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה, ‘and I shall turn back your captivity,
and shall gather you from all the gentiles and from all the places where I have
driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place from which I have
exiled you.’ (Gen 13:17) "Arise, walk about the land through its
length and breadth; for I will give it to you." (Eph
5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise
from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isa
60:1) “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
I encourage you also to NOW consider YHWH’s POWER TWINS for overcoming fear and the
schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all
things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they aren’t for you and I is UNBELIEF!
REVIEW- REVIEW- REVIEW: Unbelief or belief is the real
TOPIC in the following Scriptures spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND
FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s look closer at 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) “But this kind does not go out except through prayer and
fasting.” 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 want our prayers answered we must be
willing to do YHWH’s requirements. If we really care about our loved ones we
will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying…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!
Loved One- it is becoming clear that Jacob’s Trouble (Not
the Jews only trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that
you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it
fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more
lasting…say eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be
broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be
pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments
burned up leaving nothing but ash? Mat 21:44 “And he who falls on
this stone (The Word-
Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on
whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote:
1Rom. 8:10 & 13, Col. 3:5. (Deuteronomy
30:19) “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today
against you: I have set before you life
and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so
that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy
30:20) to love יהוה your
Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the
length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to
Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
Here’s our prayer Yah suggests below- Our Words direct
us! Start today
hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use this
prayer!
(Luke
21:36) You
watch you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Of course the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua
having produced fruit that will remain!
(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 12:32) “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 well, 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! How are you 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).”
If no man
(male or female) can tame the tongue, which yields our direction similar to a
bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship; how then can our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers” putting down others and building
their own kingdoms- which of course will be burned with fire! (Pro 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the
tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
Summarizing: YHWH knew we could produce no fruit that would remain. (John 15:5) I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the
same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:6) If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and
is withered; and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7) If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask
what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John
15:8) Herein
is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father hath
loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. (John 15:10) If you keep my
commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in His love. John 15:16
you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you. Knowing that we
will produce no fruit that remains on our own, He provided a method for us to
walk in His power and His Spirit- He only requires that we trust Him and yield
our tongues (Direction like a bridle on a
horse or a rudder on a ship) (Act 1:8) But you (YES this means you and I) shall receive power, after that
the Set Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) is come upon you:
and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Then immediately after this they all
received a prayer language in Acts 2:4! Listen Loved One, do not think you or I
will produce ANY fruit that will remain apart from His Holy Spirit directing
you- don’t be prideful. Submit (Humble
ourselves) to YHWH and the devil will flee- If we don’t submit our tongues;
hasatan will continue to dominate us. Hint: they spoke as the Spirit gave
utterance- you will have to open your mouth to speak if or most likely when-
you ask Yahshua to give you a supernatural prayer language and baptize you in
His Spirit. Since you are already one of the 10 virgins (born again spiritually) seems natural intelligence to become of
the 5 virgins who have enough oil (power)
to enter the Wedding Feast. Yield and hunger for His help and righteousness
TODAY while He may be found and watch the devil flee as you are FILLED! Whoever
hungers and thirsts for righteousness WILL BE FILLED! Get HUNGRY for Him!
Here’s
the picture warning from Yahshua of us last day’s Assembly of believer’s and
why we MUST have His power demonstrated!
(Rev
3:14) “And to the messenger of the
assembly in Laodicea write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the
Beginning of the creation of Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1Col.
1:15, Heb. 1:6. (Rev 3:15) “I know your works, that you are neither
cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. (Rev 3:16) “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev 3:17) “Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made
rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and
pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked. (Rev 3:18) “I advise you to buy from me gold refined
(Comment- faith and trust comes through fiery
trials and now I can add prophetic correction hehe)
in the fire, 1 so that you become rich; and white garments, so that
you become dressed, so that the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and
anoint your eyes with ointment, so that you see. (Most
of us have been blinded by the god of this world and are taken captive to do his
will; yielding our free will to hasatan due to our own disobedience of His
commands- Torah- Instructions- which 1 John defines as SIN!)
Footnote: 1Ps. 19:10, Ps. 119:72 & 127, Prov. 30:5. (Rev
3:19) “As many as I love, I reprove and
discipline. So be ardent and repent. (Rev 3:20)
“See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens
the door, I shall come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. (Rev
3:21) “To him who overcomes
(Comment: the fellowship is only available to him who overcomes!) I
shall give to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my
Father on His throne. (Rev 3:22) “He who
has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.” ’ ” With understanding our need for the Helper and Comforter He has made
available if we so choose to humble ourselves and our tongues and be the 5
virgins with power and provision (oil of His spirit); Please
join as believers worldwide and let’s fast and pray and receive His
INSTRUCTIONS and power loved one WITH THAT DECISION; let’s turn our hearts to
this week’s Torah Cycle:
This week’s Torah Scriptures:
MIKETZ “At the End”
Genesis
41:11- 44:17; 1 Kings 3:15- 4:1; 1Kings 7:40-50; 1 Cor 2:1-5
(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, him and me. 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 Yosĕph, 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 Yosĕph, “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 Yosĕph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is
not in me; let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.” (Gen
41:17) And Pharaoh said to
Yosĕph, “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.”
Dreams are still prophetic – ask the Ruach (Spirit) to guide you
into all truth!
(Gen 41:25) And Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph, “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 Yosĕph, “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 Yosĕph’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 Yosĕph, “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 Yosĕph’s name
Zaphnath-Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of
Poti-Pherah priest of On. And Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Gen 41:46)
Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh Sovereign
of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he
ceased counting, for it was without number. (Gen
41:50) And to Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph called the name of the first-born
Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and my entire 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 Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph, do whatever he says to you.” (Gen
41:56) And the scarcity of food
was over all the face of the earth, and Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph in Mitsrayim
to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.
YHWH always had direction for PROVISION and RESTORATION!
(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
Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. (Gen 42:4) But
Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕph’s brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said,
“Lest some harm come to him.” (Gen 42:5) And the sons of Yisra’ĕl went to buy grain
among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan.
(Gen 42:6)
And Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to
all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers came and bowed down before
him with their faces to the earth. (Gen 42:7) And Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph recognized his brothers, but they
did not recognize him. (Gen 42:9) And Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph 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’uḇĕn 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
Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph 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 – Yosĕph is no more, and Shimʽon is no more, and you would
take Binyamin! All this is against me.” (Gen 42:37) So Re’uḇĕn 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.”
Restoration journey comes with obedient sacrifice called
REPENTANCE!
(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, 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’ĕl 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’ĕl 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’ĕl 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 Ěl 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 Yosĕph. (Gen
43:16) And Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph said, and the man brought the men into
Yosĕph’s house. (Gen 43:18) And the men were afraid because they were
brought into Yosĕph’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 Yosĕph, 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 Yosĕph’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 Yosĕph’s coming at noon, for they
heard that they were to eat there. (Gen 43:26) And when Yosĕph 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 Yosĕph 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 Hebrews, 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.
REPENTANCE always allows 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 Yosĕph 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, Yosĕph 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
Yosĕph’s house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground.
(Gen 44:15)
And Yosĕph 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.”
Wisdom is from YHWH! Let everyone ask for wisdom and it will be
given!
(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’ĕl 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 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 Yardĕn 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 lampstands 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 Hĕḵal. (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.
We need to
demonstrate His power of speaking His word as He will watch over His word to
perform it!
(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.
Like Joseph, we too are becoming manifested
as the sons of YHWH and will be delivered from all our afflictions- even future
scarcity of food and other distresses! (Act 7:9) “And the ancestors, becoming jealous, sold Yosĕph
into Mitsrayim. But Elohim was with him, (Act 7:10) and delivered him out
of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before
Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim. And he appointed him governor over Mitsrayim
and his entire house. (Act 7:11) “Then a scarcity of food and great distress
came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food.
(Act 7:12)
“But Yaʽaqoḇ heard that there was
grain in Mitsrayim, and he sent out our fathers the first time, (Act 7:13) and at the second time Yosĕph was made
known to his brothers, and Yosĕph’s race became known to the Pharaoh. (Act 7:14)
“And Yosĕph sent and called his father Yaʽaqoḇ and all his relatives to
him, seventy-five people. (Act 7:15) “And Yaʽaqoḇ went down to Mitsrayim, and
died, he and our fathers, (Act 7:16) and they were brought over to Sheḵem and
laid in the tomb that Aḇraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of
Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem.
Shalom to
your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful and targeted prayers for us-
your prayers are a lifeline to the Kingdom! Growth and correction are painful
but vital as we strive to become more like Yahshua and less like us! We MUST
decrease and He must increase in us! My final prayer and hope is that you and I
will NOW fast and pray and OVERCOME our own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF
and have victory
overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify our
Father in Heaven!
