Shabbat
Shalom Loved One! (This study attached
for printing/reading- available at website below I have also included a most
excellent (Albeit requiring your utmost attention) video study by Jim Staley and a guest from England on PASSION FOR TRUTH) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxHRBIvTkpQ
be sure to watch to the end- it gets better and better! Scripturally, this
teaching video shows who we are as Kings and Priests of righteousness as we
become obedient DOERS of His instructions (Torah) and the prophets.
Remember we are FAMILY! He sets before us life and death-
blessings and curses- and then warns us- Choose Life! (Family
we can expect His overwhelming mercy and help in our time of need- We must now humble
ourselves and receive His instructions/commands)
www.shabbatshalomlovedone.blogspot.com Torah Studies www.seedtime2harvest.com w/video
audio to build our trust in Messiah!
Why are we on a different
schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox? For me it is
about restoration of all things- explanation continued at end of this week’s
study!
How do we recognize and know we are FAMILY-
truly believers and the family of Yahweh ? (John 3:16) “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave
His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess
everlasting life. (John 3:17) “Elohim did not send His Son into the world
to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (Greek- Sozo and means saved,
healed, delivered, and set
free from each and every attack from hell.) (John 3:18) “He who
believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name
of the only brought-forth Son of Elohim. Yahshua showed me what He considers
a believer to be regarding this and
other verses.
As far as knowing who we are in Him- obviously He shows us- (Rom 8:12) So then, brothers, we are not debtors to
the flesh, to live according to the flesh. (Rom 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh, you
are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,
you shall live. (Rom 8:14) For as many as
are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim. (Rom 8:15) You did not receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,
“Abba, Father.” (Rom 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we
are children of Elohim, (Rom 8:17) and
if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah, if
indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together.
Remember; it is not mental assent like most of us have thought and
been taught- it is not Greek thought, but Hebraic. It is becoming a DOER of the
WORD, and not a hearer only and deceiving ourselves. The devils BELIEVE (Mental assent but not submitting and
obeying) and shudder! Here is what He showed me so that I understand what
“believing” is to Him; and I suppose this is of life or death importance
because He showed me three times just last year for emphasis!
Here is what He considers a believer
to be by His own definition- not mine and yours- this is why it is life or
death importance that we submit and receive the engrafted word- becoming a DOER
and resisting the devil so that he must flee from the attack on us and our
loved ones: (Mar 16:16) “He who has believed and has been immersed, shall be saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned.
(Mar 16:17)
“And these
signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast out demons, they
shall speak with renewed tongues, (Mar 16:18)
they shall take up snakes (not physically pick up snakes- this is in reference to Luke 10:19
where we are given authority over snakes and scorpions which is representative
of the demonic realm and ALL the power of hell), and
if they drink any deadly drink it shall by no means hurt them, they
shall lay hands on the sick and they shall get well (recover).” Perhaps you and I should
redefine our pursuit of YHWH and His only begotten Son Yahshua; and our
becoming His definition of a believer! We who are willing to die to ourselves
ad become more like Him will walk as He walked! We all know the scripture that
says even demons believe- and shudder. They may be more aware than most of us
are of His omnipotent power to deal with rebellion---let’s make sure we are not
counted among the rebellious! James 2:17 So
also belief (Faith-trust), if it does
not have works, is in itself dead. James 2:18
But someone might say, “You have belief (faith-trust),
and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you
my belief (faith-trust) by my works. James 2:19 You believe that Elohim is one. You
do well. The demons also believe – and shudder! James 2:20 But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the
works is dead? James 2:21 Was not Aḇraham
our father declared right by works when he offered Yitsḥaq his son on the
altar? James 2:22 Do you see that the belief (faith-trust)
was working with his works, and by the works the belief
was perfected? (Matured) James 2:23 And the Scripture was filled which says,
“Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.” And
he was called, “Elohim’s friend.”
(1Jn 2:4) The one who says, “I know Him,” and does
not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1Jn 2:5) But whoever guards
His Word (Commands), truly the love of Elohim has been perfected1 in him. By this we know that we are in Him.2 Footnotes: 1
Gen. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, Mt. 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1Jn 2:6) The
one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.
(John 14:12)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in
me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these
he shall do, because I go to My Father.
Today, I want to look at some of the areas
in our lives that once our decision to DRAW NEAR to Yahweh is made, walking like Yahshua walked with humble
obedience; can bring us His help and deliverance from apparent crushing
defeats, obstacles and needs in our lives. Perhaps upon acting upon these; we should ask Him to
command His angels concerning us and our loved ones.
REMEMBER FAMILY PROTOCOL IS IMPORTANT- (Especially if we expect help
and deliverance) (Mat 15:4) “For
Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect (honor)
your father and your mother,’ and,
‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ (Eph 6:1) Children,
obey your parents in the Master, for this is right. (Eph 6:2) “Respect (honor) your father and mother,”
which is the first command with promise, (Eph 6:3) in order that it might be well with you, and
you might live long on the earth.” Finally- let’s look at the KJV about
renewing our minds in His Scripture promises regarding knowing His will in
Romans 12:1-2 (Soul- mind will and
intellect) and see:
(3Jn 1:2)
Beloved, I wish above all things that
thou mayest prosper and be in health, even
as thy soul prospereth. (Comment:
Even as our soul prospers – we know our soul is our mind, will, intellect, and
emotions- our person-ality that must be refreshed and renewed in Yahweh’s word)
(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, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove (after testing) what is that good and
well-pleasing and perfect desire
(will) of
Elohim.
FIRST AREA WE CAN AND
MUST CORRECT OUR ATTITUDES TO WILLING SUBMISSION! (Isa
1:18) “Come now, and let us
reason together,” says יהוה. “Though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red
like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isa 1:19) “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat the good of the land;
(Isa 1:20) but
if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken. You can be assured of your deliverance by
the Scripture above- He wants us to bring His promises and protocol as a
reminder- to reason with Him or remind Him of His word and promises to us.
SECONDLY- WE MUST
BRING HIM OUR THANKSGIVINGS AND COUNT OUR BLESSINGS- NOT OUR NEEDS AND STORMS. We may enter His gates with THANKSGIVING (How
timely for us Americans) and enter His courts with praises! (Not with continual murmuring and
complaining like the forefathers of our faith did coming out of Egypt- - it is
the battle for our very souls now) So
why would I encourage us to REPENT and approach Yah’s throne room with protocol
and carefully chosen and humble words? Honestly,
loved one, we must have His provision in all matters now.
Approaching YHWH and entering His presence! Also realize that if
you are in great warfare- enter His gates (Doorway) giving thanks- remember the
old song- “Count your blessings, count them one by one, count your many
blessings see what YHWH’s done and then PRAISE HIM as demon spirits cannot hang
around and get you down when He is present! Hallelu-YAH! (Psalms 22:2) O My Elohim, I call by day, but you do not
answer; and by night, but I find no rest. (Psalms
22:3) Yet you are set-apart, Enthroned on the
praises of Yisra’ĕl. KJV uses inhabits…
Psalms_100:4 Enter into His gates
with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Give thanks
to Him; bless His Name. Psalms_105:1 Give thanks to יהוה!
Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms_106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting. Will we complain and murmur at YHWH like Israel did in
Egypt- or will we draw near to Him giving THANKS?
Hey
Loved One- just reading these few Scriptures again will bring His presence!
Hallelu-YAH!
2Sa_22:50 “Therefore I give thanks to You, O יהוה, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name. 1Ch_16:8
Give thanks to יהוה, call upon His Name, and make known His
deeds among the peoples! 1Ch_16:34 Give
thanks to יהוה, for He is good, for His kindness is
everlasting! Psalms_7:17
I give thanks to יהוה according to His righteousness, and praise
the Name of יהוה Most High.
We must review and remind ourselves why we are
blessed to be a blessing to others! Promises guaranteed by the Creator for
obeying Him and curses guaranteed for disobeying Him! These BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS
apply to many countries including our beloved USA-
(Lev 26:3) ‘If you walk in my laws and guard my commands, and
shall do them, (Lev 26:4) then I shall
give you rain in its season, and the land shall yield its crops, and the trees
of the field yield their fruit. (Lev 26:5) ‘And your
threshing shall last till the time of the grape harvest and the grape harvest
shall last till the time of sowing. And
you shall eat your bread until you have enough, and shall dwell in your land
safely. (Lev 26:6) ‘And I shall give peace in the land, and you shall lie
down and no one make you afraid. And I
shall clear the land of evil beasts, and not let the sword go through your
land. (Lev 26:7) ‘And you shall
pursue your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. (Lev 26:8) ‘And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of
you pursue ten thousand. And your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.
(Lev 26:9)
‘And I shall turn to you and make you bear
fruit, and shall increase you, and shall establish my covenant with you. (Lev 26:10) ‘And you shall eat the old supply, and clear out the old
because of the new. (Lev 26:11) ‘And I shall set My Dwelling Place in your midst, and my
being shall not reject you. (Lev 26:12) ‘And I shall
walk in your midst, and shall be your Elohim, and you shall be my people. (Lev 26:13) ‘I am יהוה your Elohim,
who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I
have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.
THIRDLY; REPENT- TURN OUR STIFF NECKS AND FOLLOW HIM
IN LOVING OBEDIENCE!
(Remember: In the beginning
(Genesis/Bereshit) Yahshua was the word, YHWH, was with YHWH and is YHWH- yes
even or especially at Mt Sinai- so we must still obey Him and His commands, so
consider carefully loved one)
(John 14:20) “In that day 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.”
Goodness Loved Ones- this is
extremely SERIOUS for us living TODAY!
(Lev 26:14) ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not do all these
commands, (Lev 26:15) and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My
right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but break My covenant, (Lev 26:16) I also do this to
you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm over you, wasting disease and
inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming the life. And you shall sow
your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev 26:17) ‘And
I shall set my face against you, and you shall be smitten before your enemies.
And those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when no one
pursues you.
(Lev 26:18) ‘And after all this, if you do not obey me, then I shall
punish you seven times more for your sins. (Lev 26:19) ‘And
I shall break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron
and your earth like bronze. (Lev 26:20) ‘And your strength
shall be spent in vain and your land will not yield its crops, nor do the trees
of the land yield their fruit. (Lev 26:21) ‘And if you walk
contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven times more
plagues, according to your sins, (Lev 26:22) and send wild
beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I shall cut off
your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be
deserted. (Lev 26:23) ‘And if you are
not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:24) then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I myself
shall smite you seven times for your sins.
(Lev 26:25) ‘And
I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of my covenant, and
you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among
you, and you shall be given into the
hand of the enemy. (Lev 26:26) ‘When I have cut
off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they
shall bring back to you your bread by weight and you shall eat and not be
satisfied. (Lev 26:27) ‘And if in spite
of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:28) then I shall
walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven times for
your sins. (Lev 26:29) ‘And you shall
eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Lev 26:30) ‘And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your
sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols. And my
being shall loathe you.
(Lev 26:31) ‘And
I shall turn your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and
not smell your sweet fragrances. (Lev 26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your enemies who
dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Lev 26:33) ‘And I shall scatter
you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be
desert and your cities ruins, (Lev 26:34)
and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lays
waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would rest and enjoy its
Sabbaths. (Lev 26:35) ‘As long as it lays waste it rests, for the
time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it. (Lev 26:36) ‘And as for those of you who are left, I shall send
faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a
shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And they shall flee as though retreating
from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. (Lev 26:37) ‘And they shall stumble over one another, as from before
a sword, when no one pursues. And you shall be unable to stand before your
enemies. (Lev 26:38) ‘And you shall
perish among the gentiles, (Heathen)
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up,
(Lev 26:39)
and those of you who are left rot away in
their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in their fathers’ crookedness's rot away with them.
(Lev 26:40) ‘But if they (WE) confess their (our) crookedness and the crookedness of their (our) fathers, with their trespass in which they trespassed against
me, and that they also have walked contrary to me, (Lev 26:41) and that I also
have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their
enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the
punishment of their crookedness, (Lev 26:42) then I shall
remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and
also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land.
(Isa 49:24)
Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous
delivered? (Isa 49:25) Yes- said יהוה, “Even the
captives of the mighty are taken away; and the prey of the ruthless is
delivered. I
strive with him who strives with you, and I save your children. I
love that promise, don’t you? That’s FAMILY BENEFITS! He contends with our
enemies and delivers and saves our children!
Receiving His gifts has been our theme recently and will
help us to walk in His miracle gifts in these days ahead whether they are Jacob’s Troubles or not, so let’s be open-
study and receive so we can be used to produce fruit that remains! Of course,
you and I can still reject this and continue to wonder why we walk in no power
to help others….please
understand we will not fool YHWH about our desires here- we must sincerely be
hungry for more of Him! Loved One- it is simple- we must draw near, repent, and
trust Him with His powerful gifts or our testimony will be cut shorter than it
needs be. We can no longer play religion- it must
now be true RELATIONSHIP!
FOUR- WE MAY NOW RECEIVE
FAMILY GIFTS- they are for the benefit of others- let’s receive them
and walk in these- as we will need them to produce any good fruit that will
remain and glorify our Father in Heaven! Can we imagine that He would make them available if they were not necessary
for our victory?
YHWH does NOT want us ignorant concerning spiritual
gifts—let’s not remain ignorant- but study and show ourselves approved- rightly
dividing the Word of Truth! Yahshua has given us His power to trample on snakes
and scorpions (All the demonic realm
opposing us with stormy facts) and OVERCOME all the power of the enemy!
So let’s read and receive power! Honestly, the more we read and
believe and DO- the more we will be trusted and trust Him that we may DO His
works on the earth. These are given (NOT
for self-exaltation or our own benefit) for the benefit of others as the
Holy Spirit wills and intends. Nine gifts! Let’s consider carefully who we
ascribe these gifts to. To assign the works of the Ruach to works of hasatan is
called “Blaspheming the Set Apart-Ruach”
and will NOT be forgiven- in this age OR in the age to come! No one can make us
receive these- YOU AND I MUST BE OPEN TO BE USED AND HUNGRY FOR TRUTH! Let’s DRAW
NEAR and FEAR NOT!
We
talked about these last week--Read these again- submit- and ask for trust for
these gifts to help your loved ones (and others)!
(1Co 12:1)
And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2) You
know that you were gentiles, 1 led away to the dumb idols,
even as you might be led. Footnote: 1 Eph.
2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3) Therefore I make known to
you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse,
and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by
the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4) And
there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5)
There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. (1Co 12:6) And
there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working
all in all. (1Co 12:7) And to each one is given the manifestation of
the Spirit for profiting, (1Co 12:8) for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to
the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9) and to another belief-faith- trust by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same
Spirit, (1Co 12:10) and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of unknown tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11)
But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one
individually as
He intends. (1Co 12:12) For as the body is one and has many members,
but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the
Messiah. (1Co 12:13) For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed
into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were
all made to drink into one Spirit. (1Co 12:14) For indeed the body is not one member but
many. (1Co 12:15) If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I
do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:16)
And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the
body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:17) If all the body was an
eye, where would be the hearing? If all the body hearing, where would be the
smelling? (1Co 12:18) But now Elohim has set the members, each one
of them, in the body, even as He pleased. (1Co 12:19) And if they all had been one member, where
would the body be? (1Co 12:20) And now, there are indeed many members, but
one body.
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Naso “Accounting/Elevate”
Numbers 4:21-7:89; Judges 13:2-25; 1 Acts 21:17-26
Age 30 starts ministry service! Just like Yahshua did!
(Numbers 4:21) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 4:22) “Take a census
also of the sons of Gĕreshon, by their fathers’ house, by their clans. (Numbers 4:23)
“Register them, from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, all who enter to perform the service, to do the service in the Tent of
Meeting. (Numbers 4:24) “This is the service of the clans of the
Gĕreshonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: (Numbers 4:25) “And they shall bear the
curtains of the Dwelling Place and the Tent of Meeting with its covering, the
covering of fine leather that is on it, the covering for the door of the Tent
of Meeting, (Numbers 4:26) and the screens of the courtyard and the covering
for the door of the gate of the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place
and altar, and their cords, all the equipment for their service and all that is
made for them – so shall they serve. (Numbers 4:27) “Aharon and his sons are to command all the
service of the sons of the Gĕreshonites, their entire burden and all their
service. And you shall appoint to them all the duty of their entire burden. (Numbers 4:28)
“This is the service of the clans of the sons of Gĕreshon in the Tent of
Meeting. And let their duties be under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aharon the
priest. (Numbers 4:29) “As for the sons of Merari, register them by
their clans and by their fathers’ house. (Numbers 4:30) “Register them, from thirty
years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do
the work of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:31) “And this is the duty of their burden,
according to all their service for the Tent of Meeting: the boards of the
Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and its sockets, (Numbers 4:32) and the columns around the courtyard
with their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords, with all their equipment
and all their service. And assign to each by name the equipment of the
duty of their burden. (Numbers 4:33) “This is the service of the clans of the sons
of Merari, as all their service for the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of
Ithamar, son of Aharon the priest.” (Numbers 4:34) So Mosheh and Aharon and the leaders of the
congregation registered the sons of the Qehathites by their clans and by their
fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:35) from thirty years old and above, even to
fifty years old, all who entered the service for work in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:36)
And their registered ones, by their clans, were two thousand seven
hundred and fifty. (Numbers 4:37) These were the registered ones of the clans
of the Qehathites, all those serving in the Tent of Meeting, whom Mosheh and
Aharon registered according to the command of יהוה
by the hand of Mosheh. (Numbers 4:38) And those registered ones of the sons of
Gĕreshon, by their clans and by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:39) from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who
entered the service for work in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 4:40) the registered ones, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, were
two thousand six hundred and thirty. (Numbers 4:41) These were the registered ones of the clans
of the sons of Gĕreshon, of all who serves in the Tent of Meeting, whom Mosheh
and Aharon registered according to the command of יהוה.
(Numbers 4:42)
And those of the clans of the sons of Merari who were registered, by
their clans, by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:43) from
thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who entered the
service for work in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 4:44) the registered ones, by
their clans were three thousand two hundred. (Numbers 4:45) These were the registered
ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Mosheh and Aharon registered
according to the command of יהוה by the hand of
Mosheh. (Numbers 4:46) All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom
Mosheh and Aharon and the leaders of Yisra’ĕl registered, by their clans and by
their fathers’ houses, (Numbers 4:47) from thirty years old and above, even to
fifty years old, all who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing
burdens in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 4:48) their registered ones were eight thousand
five hundred and eighty. (Numbers 4:49) According to the command of יהוה they were registered by the hand of Mosheh, each according to
his service and according to his burden, thus were they registered by him, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
Touch no
unclean thing…
(Numbers 5:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:2) “Command the
children of Yisra’ĕl to send out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has
a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled 1
for a being. Footnote: 1 Defilement can be
imparted from one to another. (Numbers 5:3) “Send out both male and female, send them
outside the camp, so that they do not defile their camps in the midst of which
I dwell.” (Numbers 5:4) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so, to send
them outside the camp. As יהוה had spoken to Mosheh,
so the children of Yisra’ĕl did. (Numbers 5:5) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:6) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘When a
man or woman commits any sin that men commit in trespass against יהוה, and that being is guilty, (Numbers 5:7) then they shall confess
their sin which they have done. And he shall restore his guilt in its
principal, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to whom he has been guilty. (Numbers 5:8)
‘But if the man has no relative to restore the guilt to, the guilt which
is restored goes to יהוה, for the priest, in
addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. (Numbers 5:9)
‘And every contribution of all the set-apart gifts of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, which they bring to the priest, becomes his. (Numbers 5:10)
‘And every man’s set-apart gifts becomes his, whatever any man
gives the priest becomes his.’ ” (Numbers 5:11) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:12) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say
to them, ‘When any man’s wife turns aside and has committed a trespass against
him, (Numbers 5:13) and a man has intercourse with her, and it is
hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled
herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught, (Numbers 5:14)
and a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his
wife who has defiled herself, or a spirit
of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife although
she has not defiled herself, (Numbers 5:15) then the man shall bring his wife to the
priest. And he shall bring the offering for her, one-tenth of an ĕphah of
barley flour. He is not to pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it
is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing
crookedness to remembrance. (Numbers 5:16) ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and
shall make her stand before יהוה. (Numbers 5:17)
‘And the priest shall take set-apart water in an earthen vessel, and
take some of the dust that is on the floor of the Dwelling Place and put it
into the water.
Yahshua took the bitter waters and the judgment of DEATH
for His adulterous wife- you and me!
(Numbers 5:18) ‘And the priest
shall make the woman stand before יהוה,
and shall uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her
hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, while the priest holds in his
hand the bitter water that brings a
curse. (Numbers 5:19) ‘And the priest shall make her swear, and say
to the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to
uncleanness under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter
water that brings a curse. (Numbers 5:20) “But if you have turned aside under your
husband’s authority, and if you have defiled yourself and some man other
than your husband has lain with you” – (Numbers 5:21) then the priest shall make the woman swear
with the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman – “יהוה make you a curse and an oath among your people, when יהוה makes your thigh waste away and your belly
swell, (Numbers 5:22) and this water that causes the curse shall go
into your inward parts, and make your belly swell and your thigh waste away.”
And the woman shall say, “Amĕn, amĕn.” (Numbers 5:23) ‘And the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and shall wipe them off into the bitter water, (Numbers 5:24) and shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the
curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter. (Numbers 5:25)
‘And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the
woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before יהוה,
and bring it to the altar. (Numbers 5:26) ‘And the priest shall take a hand filled with
the offering, as its remembrance offering, and burn it on the altar, and
afterward make the woman drink the water. (Numbers 5:27) ‘And when he has made her
drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and has committed
a trespass against her husband, that the water that brings the curse shall
enter her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall
waste away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people. (Numbers 5:28)
‘But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall
be clear and shall conceive children. (Numbers 5:29) ‘This is the Torah of jealousy, when a wife
turns aside under her husband’s authority and defiles herself, (Numbers 5:30)
or when a spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of
his wife. Then he shall make the woman stand before יהוה,
and the priest shall do to her all this Torah. (Numbers 5:31) ‘And the man shall be clear
from crookedness, but the woman bears her crookedness.’ ”
Nazirite
Vow and Aaronic Blessing
(Numbers 6:1) And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 6:2) “Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or woman does separate, by
making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה,
(Numbers 6:3) he separates himself from
wine and strong drink – he drinks neither vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong
drink, neither does he drink any grape juice, nor eat grapes or raisins. (Numbers 6:4)
‘All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of the
grapevine, from seed to skin. (Numbers 6:5) ‘All the days of the vow of his separation a
razor does not come upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he
does separate himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He
shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. (Numbers 6:6) ‘All the days of his
separation to יהוה he does not go near a
dead body. (Numbers 6:7) ‘He does not make himself unclean for his
father, or for his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die,
because his separation to Elohim is on his head. (Numbers 6:8) ‘All the days of his
separation he is set-apart to יהוה. (Numbers 6:9)
‘And when anyone dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he has
defiled the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head on the day of
his cleansing – on the seventh day he shaves it. (Numbers 6:10) ‘And on the eighth day he
brings two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the
Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 6:11) and the priest shall prepare one as a sin
offering and the other as a burnt offering, and shall make atonement for him,
because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall set apart his head
on that day, (Numbers 6:12) and shall separate
to יהוה the days of his separation, and shall
bring a male lamb a year old, as a guilt offering. But the former days are not
counted, because his separation was defiled. (Numbers 6:13) ‘And this is the Torah of
the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are completed, he is brought to
the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 6:14) and he shall bring his offering to יהוה: one male lamb a year old, a perfect one,
as a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a sin
offering, and one ram, a perfect one, as a peace offering, (Numbers 6:15)
and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and
unleavened thin cakes anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their
drink offerings. (Numbers 6:16) ‘And the priest shall bring them before יהוה and prepare his sin offering and his burnt
offering. (Numbers 6:17) ‘And he shall prepare the ram as a peace
offering to יהוה, together with the
basket of unleavened bread. And the priest shall prepare its grain offering and
its drink offering. (Numbers 6:18) ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his
separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair from the
head of his separation and shall put it on the fire which is under the
slaughtering of the peace offering. (Numbers 6:19) ‘And the priest shall take the boiled
shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake from the basket, and one
unleavened thin cake, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has
shaved his hair of separation. (Numbers 6:20) ‘Then the priest shall wave them, a wave
offering before יהוה. It is set-apart for
the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering and besides the thigh of
the contribution. And afterwards the Nazirite shall drink wine.’ (Numbers 6:21)
“This is the Torah of the Nazirite who vows to יהוה
the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is
able to provide. According to the vow which he takes, so he shall do according
to the Torah of his separation.” (Numbers 6:22) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 6:23) “Speak to Aharon
and his sons, saying, ‘this is how you bless the children of Yisra’ĕl. Say to
them: (Numbers 6:24) “יהוה bless you and guard you; (Numbers 6:25) יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you; (Numbers 6:26) יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you
peace.” ’ Footnote: Verses 24 to 26 is the
Priestly Blessing. (Numbers 6:27) “Thus they shall put My Name on the children of
Yisra’ĕl, and I Myself shall bless them.”
Dedicating
the Altar! (Our spirits (hearts), souls and bodies anointed by our humbled
obedience)
(Numbers 7:1) And it came to be, when Mosheh finished
setting up the Dwelling Place, that he anointed it and set it apart and all its
furnishings, as well as the altar and all its utensils. Thus he anointed them and set them apart.
(Numbers 7:2)
And the leaders of Yisra’ĕl, heads of their fathers’ houses who were the
leaders of the tribes and over the ones registered, drew near, (Numbers 7:3)
and they brought their offering before יהוה: six covered
wagons and twelve cattle, a wagon for every two of the leaders, and for each
one a bull. And they brought them near before the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 7:4)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 7:5) “Accept these from them, and
they shall be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting. And you shall
give them to the Lĕwites, each one according to his service.” (Numbers 7:6)
And Mosheh took the wagons and the cattle, and gave them to the Lĕwites.
(Numbers 7:7)
He gave two wagons and four cattle to the sons of Gĕreshon, according to
their service. (Numbers 7:8) And he gave four wagons and eight cattle to
the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar, son
of Aharon the priest. (Numbers 7:9) But to the sons of Qehath he gave none,
because theirs was the service of the set-apart objects, which they bore
on their shoulders. (Numbers 7:10) And the leaders brought the dedication offering
of the altar in the day it was anointed. So the leaders brought their offering
before the altar. (Numbers 7:11) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Let them bring their offering, one leader each day, for the
dedication of the altar.” (Numbers 7:12) And the one who brought his offering on the
first day was Naḥshon, son of Amminaḏaḇ, from the tribe of Yehuḏah. (Numbers 7:13)

Nazirite
Vow in Action—Message from I AM-
(Judges 13:2) And there was a certain man from Tsorʽah,
of the clan of the Danites, whose name was Manowaḥ. And his wife was barren
and had not borne. (Judges 13:3) And a Messenger of יהוה appeared to the woman and said to her, “See now, you are barren
and have not borne, but you shall conceive, and you shall bear a son. (Judges 13:4)
“And now, please guard, and do
not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat any unclean food. (Judges 13:5)
“For look, you are conceiving and bearing a son. And let no razor come
upon his head, for the youth is a Nazirite to Elohim from the womb on. And he
shall begin to save Yisra’ĕl out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judges 13:6)
And the woman came and spoke to her husband, saying, “A Man of Elohim
came to me, and His appearance was like the appearance of a Messenger of
Elohim, very awesome. But I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not
declare to me His name. (Judges 13:7) “And He said to me, ‘See, you are conceiving
and bearing a son. And now, drink no wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean food,
for the youth is a Nazirite to Elohim from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”
(Judges 13:8) And Manowaḥ prayed to יהוה, and said, “O יהוה,
please let the Man of Elohim whom you sent come to us again and teach us what
to do for the youth who is to be born.” (Judges 13:9) And Elohim listened to the voice of Manowaḥ,
and the Messenger of Elohim came to the woman again as she was sitting in the
field, but Manowaḥ her husband was not with her. (Judges 13:10) And the woman ran
hurriedly and informed her husband, and said to him, “See, He has appeared to
me, the Man who came to me the other day!” (Judges 13:11) And Manowaḥ arose and
went after his wife, and came to the Man, and he said to Him, “Are You the Man
who spoke to this woman?” And He said, “I am.” (Judges 13:12)
And Manowaḥ said, “Now let your words come true! What is to be the rule
for the youth’s life and his work?” (Judges 13:13) And the Messenger of יהוה
said to Manowaḥ, “Let the woman guard all that I said to her. (Judges 13:14)
“Let her not eat any food that comes from the vine, neither let
her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean food. Let her guard
all that which I have commanded her.” (Judges 13:15) And Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה, “Please let us detain you, and prepare a
young goat for you.” (Judges 13:16) And the Messenger of יהוה
said to Manowaḥ, “Though you detain me, I do not eat your food. But if you
offer a burnt offering, offer it to יהוה.”
For Manowaḥ did not know He was a Messenger of יהוה.
(Judges 13:17)
Then Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה,
“What is your name? When your words come true, then we shall esteem you.” (Judges 13:18)
And the Messenger of יהוה said to him, “Why do
you ask my name, since it is wondrous?” (Judges 13:19) And Manowaḥ took the young goat with the
grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to יהוה.
And He did wondrously while Manowaḥ and his wife looked on. (Judges 13:20)
And it came to be, as the flame went up toward the heavens from the altar
that the Messenger of יהוה went up in the flame
of the altar. And Manowaḥ and his wife were watching, and they fell on their
faces to the ground. (Judges 13:21) And the Messenger of יהוה
did not appear any more to Manowaḥ and his wife. Then Manowaḥ knew that He
was a Messenger of יהוה. (Judges 13:22)
And Manowaḥ said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, because we have
seen Elohim!” (Judges 13:23) But his wife said to him, “If יהוה had been pleased to put us to death, He would not have accepted
a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown
us all this, nor would He have let us hear the like of this!” (Judges 13:24)
So the woman bore a son and called his name Shimshon. And the child
grew, and יהוה blessed him. (Judges 13:25) And the Spirit of יהוה began to move him at Maḥanĕh Dan, between
Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol.
I suspect
this is a Nazirite Vow in Action again…
(Act 21:17) And when we had arrived in Yerushalayim, the
brothers received us gladly. (Act 21:18) And on the following day Sha’ul went in with
us to Yaʽaqoḇ, and all the elders came. (Act 21:19)
And having greeted them, he was relating one by one what Elohim had done
among the gentiles through his service. (Act 21:20) And when they heard it, they praised the
Master. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Yehuḏim
there are who have believed, and all are ardent for the Torah. (Act 21:21)
“And they have been informed about you that you teach all the Yehuḏim
who are among the gentiles to forsake Mosheh, saying to not circumcise the
children nor to walk according to the practices. (Act 21:22) “What then is it? They
shall certainly hear that you have come. (Act 21:23) “So do this, what we say to you: We have four
men who have taken a vow. (Act 21:24)
“Take them and be cleansed with them, and pay their expenses so that
they shave their heads. And all shall know that what they have been informed
about you is not so, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the
Torah. (Act 21:25) “But concerning the gentiles who believe, we
have written and decided that they should keep
themselves from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and
whoring.”1 Footnote: 1 See
15:20. (Act 21:26) Then Sha’ul took the men on the next day, and
having been cleansed with them, went into the Set-apart Place to announce the
completion of the days of separation – until the offering should be presented
for each one of them.
Loved One,
Billie’s and my prayer for you (and for us) is that we humble ourselves by our
own free will and hunger and thirst for His righteousness; which will release
His power to help us- to help others in the days ahead- which may soon be upon
us called “Jacob’s Trouble”. I pray that we do exploits in His name and FEAR
NOT! Hallelu-Yah! I further pray that we DRAW NEAR in relationship with our
coming King as we implement the first four actions shown us today- that we are
willing and obedient- confessing our sins and those of our fathers-( yes even
in the “faith” delivered to us)! We are becoming the Bride and Priests of Righteousness! Hallelu-YAH!
Shalom to
your home Loved One,

Continued explanation of 2012-13 Torah
Cycle restart at beginning of months… It is about YHWH restoring all things which sometimes means we are
walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year starts over; this is not
to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just happen to believe we will
never challenge our older brother Judah by following his traditions. I expect
Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah (Words of Scripture) and
seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our obedience- Does the statement above mean we are not to grab the
tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
