Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
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…
WE NEED HIS POWER TO OVERCOME: Goodness Loved
One; we really must review what our study led us to last week- the importance
of not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over
comers! Last week 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! (Pro 18:21) Death
and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
If you have not listened to the interview with Bobby Conner- here is
the link for your last opportunity (At
least for now hehe) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWjAoT0V0_k
Stay
with me loved one, because we will once again address a method of overcoming fear! (Fear
comes from trusting in hasatan’s power and facts of the storm to do evil against
us rather than trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us!) Obviously
spirits of the enemy hasatan cannot hang around when YHWH is present- just not
possible! He informs us to put on the spirit of praise for the spirit(s) of
heaviness- ha ha- we win by entering His presence! That’s important for you and
me, and them to know, because many loved ones are full of fear even if
you and I add FEAR NOT before or
after any announcement of danger approaching which has been planned by wicked
men and demons/aliens (Nephillim?)
who are directing them!
We MUST FLEE
SIN! Because when someone is in “hidden sin” (Sadly funny because there is no such thing- as all sin is before Him
who created all things) Have you noticed? Those with sin in their lives
cannot look you in the eye and remove themselves from close contact or
fellowship with you. Honestly I believe long ago Yahshua showed me that the
reason was is- their courage has been removed—kind of like Adam and Eve in the
garden. They are afraid. They fear. But the real danger is lurking at the door
as Yahweh warned Cain. Think of those around you who seem to reject you—let me
share with you- you are meant to pray for them in increasing manner with
absolute trust and belief that Yahweh desires to move on their behalf and set
them free; but often we are so wounded with their withdrawal or unkind words
and manners to us—we avoid them in anger or worse—we curse them with our words…WHEN
WE ARE THEIR LIFELINE—what we think and SPEAK is life and healing to all flesh!
I remind us—it is not about us! We must focus on others and minister His life
to them—not condemnation—as that would have us serving hasatan! The
whole earth is groaning waiting for us to be manifested as the sons and
daughters of Yahweh. And we will ACT like that is who we are…
Naturally, these
loved ones (In sin or not) reject
hearing truth because they do not understand these fiery trials are coming now
and they do not recognize that by facing them and growing spiritually we have
been created to overcome as we learn to walk by the spirit and not the natural
flesh man. They (Our loved ones) are defending themselves the only way they know how, but there is a
much better answer. However; they will never hear us, nor receive His
overcoming power until they see us loving them.
We need to download His love and COMPASSION for them in their circumstance and
where they are- BEFORE we can tell them any TRUTH that can help! Then they
also can really fear not!
REMEMBER LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine
who His bride is and allow us and them to be tested and molded in the fiery
furnace; that our character and faith might develop to be the BRIDE without
spot or blemish. She WILL make herself ready. He came once to pay the whoring
wife’s penalty of death, took the bitter water for us, and provided the
restoration of the fallen bride- He is coming again for His bride and not the
bride without light and oil for her lamp! So rejoice again I say rejoice- we
die to self that He may increase in us! DO NOT FEAR! OUR KING IS SITTING ON THE THRONE!
(Rev
3:10) 'Because you have
kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of
testing, (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…
(Rom
8:1) There is, then, now no condemnation to those
who are in Messiah יהושע, who do not
walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (Rom
8:2) For the Torah of the Spirit
of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free from
the law of sin and of death. (Rom 8:3) For the Torah being powerless, in that it was
weak through the flesh, Elohim, having His own Son in the likeness of flesh of
sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, (Rom
8:4) so that the righteousness of
the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit. (Rom 8:5) For those who live according to the flesh set
their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live
according to the Spirit, the matters of the Spirit.
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).
Walking by the flesh is walking by your own
reasoning, what you see, touch, hear, and smell, in the natural
realm while walking in the Spirit is yielding to the word of YHWH in loving
humbling obedience. (John
14:15)
“If you love me,
you shall guard my commands.1
Footnote: 1 See Ex. 20:6, vv. 21&23, 1 John
5:2-3, 2 John v. 6. (John 14:21) “He who possesses (has) 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.”
NOTE ABOVE: We MUST have
His commands, and we receive them by humbling ourselves and allow the engrafted
word to direct us, and then we MUST obey them. This
is what She’mah O Israel is really
about- we must listen and obey. There is coming a time when our
phones will not work, our internet will not work, and likely a separation from
loved ones so we must develop our hearing NOW! (Mat
21:42) יהושע said to them, “Did you never read in
the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief
corner-stone. This was from יהוה, and it is marvelous
in our eyes’? (Mat 21:43) “Because of this I
say to you: the reign of Elohim shall be taken from you and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits of it. (Mat 21:44) “And he who falls on
this stone shall be broken, 1 but on whomever it falls, he shall be
pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Rom. 8:10
& 13, Col. 3:5. That’s it in a nutshell Loved One; we will fall on
the Word of YHWH and die to our own will, or He will fall on us and pulverize
us!
We
do not live according to natural reason- flesh nature- Or we will surely
die!
(Rom 8:6)
The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and
peace. (Rom 8:7) Because the mind of the flesh is enmity
towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself1
to the Torah of Elohim2, neither
indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1Or does
not obey. 2John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18. (Rom 8:8) and those who are in the flesh are unable
to please Elohim. (Rom 8:9) But you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His. (Rom
8:10) And if Messiah is in you,
the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of
righteousness. (Rom 8:11) And if the Spirit of Him who raised יהושע from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Messiah from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His
Spirit dwelling in you. (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.”
Who are we? Many think that
they are the bride because they went forward one time and “Accepted Jesus” (NOT!
Bear fruit worthy of repentance!). He doesn’t need our acceptance He wants
us to obey Him so He can bless us (Which
is LOVE- John 14:21) and we will grow into His image! Where is our love for
others? Do we really think we are “Torah Keepers” or some special people- IF we
do not love others? (John 13:35) By this shall all
men know that
you are my disciples, if you have love; one for another. Not everyone
who calls Him Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom, but only those who do the will
of the Father! Yahshua pointed out who family really is Loved one; (Mat 12:46) While he yet talked to the people,
behold, his mother and his brethren
stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Mat 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother
and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Mat 12:48)
But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Mat
12:49) And he stretched forth his
hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother
and my brothers! (Mat 12:50) Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is
my brother, and sister, and mother. There you have truth about who Yahshua says
is FAMILY! You!
Here’s how we KNOW we are His children- the Ruach bears witness
to us!
(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. (Rom 8:18) For
I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with
the esteem that is to be revealed in us. (Rom 8:19) For the intense longing1 of the
creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1Lit. Anxiously looking with
outstretched head. (Rom 8:20) The creation was subjected to futility, not
from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in anticipation, (Rom 8:21) that the creation itself also shall be
delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed freedom of the
children of Elohim. (Rom 8:22) For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of
childbirth together until now. (Rom 8:23) And not only so, but even we ourselves who
have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves,
eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. (Rom 8:24) For
in this expectation (Hope or
promise of the Word made flesh that dwelled among us) we were saved, but
expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he
expect it? (Rom 8:25) And if we expect what we do not see, we
eagerly wait for it with endurance. (Rom 8:26) And in the same way the Spirit does help in
our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray, but the Spirit Himself
pleads our case for us with groaning unutterable. (Indistinguishable words, prayer language,
unknown tongues- which is available to all believers that will humble
themselves and yield their tongue and trust Him that they would NOT receive a
snake or scorpion) (Rom 8:27) And He who searches the hearts knows what the
mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the set-apart ones
according to Elohim. (Rom 8:28) And we know that all matters work
together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according
to His purpose.
We must clean up
and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE! We cannot
follow those of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds
a lot like modern Churchianity: (Ezek
22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have
profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the
profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the
clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them.” (NOTE: He said MY
Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick our own)
Are WE Laodicean’s? YIKES- certainly
seems to be the last age of believers…
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.
Good
News Truth Seeker!
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 heart 1. Footnote: 1 Dt. 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.
Okay let’s once
again address what I believe are 2 other POWER TWINS for overcoming fear and the
schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all
things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they are not possible for you and I is
our UNBELIEF! What gets rid
of 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! (Can you tell that YHWH is leading me- uhhh-
maybe us hehe- to a fasting time with Him?) 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!
With those precepts in place in
our thinking; we turn our hearts and minds to learn- as we study His Torah cycle or ancient path
we are returning to. (Psalms 119:105) Thy word is
a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
(Isa 58:12)
And they that shall be of you
shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many
generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isa 58:13) If
you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from
doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the
holy of YHWH, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own ways, nor finding
thine own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: (Isa 58:14) Then you shall delight yourself in
YHWH; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed
you with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of YHWH has spoken it.
This week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayishlach
“And He sent”
Genesis
32:4- 36:43; Obadiah 1:1-21; Hosea 11:7-12:14; Matthew 26:36-46
Strategies
given by YHWH for our deliverance!
(Gen
32:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ
went on his way, and the messengers of Elohim met him. (Gen
32:2) And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw them,
he said, “This is the camp of Elohim.” And he called the name of that place
Maḥanayim. (Gen 32:3) And Yaʽaqoḇ sent messengers before him to
Ěsaw his brother in the land of Sĕʽir, the field of Eḏom (Gen 32:4) and he commanded those, saying, “Say this
to my master Ěsaw, ‘Your servant Yaʽaqoḇ said this, “I have sojourned with
Laḇan and stayed there until now. (Gen 32:5) “And I have bulls, and donkeys, flocks, and
male and female servants. And I have sent to inform my master, to find favor in
your eyes.” ’ ” (Gen 32:6) so the messengers
returned to Yaʽaqoḇ, saying, “We came to your brother Ěsaw, and he also is
coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.” (Gen
32:7) And Yaʽaqoḇ was greatly
afraid and distressed. So he divided the people that were with him, and the
flocks and herds and camels, into two groups, (Gen
32:8) and he said, “If Ěsaw comes to the one group and attacks it, then
the other group which is left shall escape.” (Gen
32:9) And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “O
Elohim of my father Aḇraham and Elohim of my father Yitsḥaq, יהוה who said to
me, ‘Return to your land and to your relatives, and I do well to you,’ (Gen 32:10) “I do not deserve the least of all the
kind acts and all the truth which you have shown your servant, for I passed
over this Yardĕn with my staff, and now I have become two groups. (Gen 32:11)
“Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Ěsaw,
for I fear him, lest he come and shall smite me and the mother with the
children. (Gen 32:12) “You said, ‘I shall certainly do good to you,
and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to
count.’ ” (Gen 32:13) And he spent the night there, and took what
came to his hand as a present for Ěsaw his brother – (Gen
32:14) two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes
and twenty rams, (Gen 32:15) thirty milk camels
with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten
foals. (Gen 32:16) And he gave into the hand of his servants,
every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put
some distance between drove and drove.” (Gen 32:17) And he commanded the first one, saying, “When
Ěsaw my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘to whom do you belong, and
where are you going? And whose are these in front of you?’ (Gen 32:18) then you shall say, ‘They are your
servant Yaʽaqoḇ’s. It is a present sent to my master Ěsaw. And see, he also is
behind us.’ ” (Gen 32:19) So he commanded the second, and the third,
and all who followed the droves, saying, “Speak to Ěsaw this same word when you
find him, (Gen 32:20) and you shall say, ‘Also
look, your servant Yaʽaqoḇ is behind us.’ ” For he said, “Let me appease him
with the present that goes before me, and after that see his face. He might
accept me.” (Gen 32:21) And the present passed over before him, but
he himself spent the night in the camp. (Gen 32:22) And he rose up that night and took his two
wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the
ford of Yabboq. (Gen 32:23) And he took them and sent them over the
stream, and sent over what he had.
Wrestling with YHWH
– we too may overcome and be renamed for His purpose!
(Gen 32:24)
And Yaʽaqoḇ was left alone. And a Man (Angel or Yahshua) wrestled with him until the breaking of day. (Gen 32:25)
And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of
his hip. And the socket of Yaʽaqoḇ’s hip was dislocated as He wrestled with
him. (Gen 32:26) And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.”
But he said, “I am not letting you go until you have blessed me!” (Gen 32:27) So
He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Yaʽaqoḇ.” (Gen 32:28)
And He said, “Your name is no
longer called Yaʽaqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl 1,
because you have striven with Elohim and with men, and have overcome.” Footnote: 1 Yisra’ĕl means “to strive with Ěl, to
overcome with Ěl, (then) to rule with Ěl” (Gen
32:29) And Yaʽaqoḇ asked Him, saying,
“Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name?”
And He blessed him there. (Gen 32:30) And Yaʽaqoḇ called the name of the place
Peni’ĕl, “For I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.” (Gen 32:31)
And the sun rose on him as he passed over Penu’ĕl, and he limped on his
hip. (Gen 32:32) That is why the children of Yisra’ĕl to this
day do not eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the socket of the thigh,
because He touched the socket of the thigh of Yaʽaqoḇ, in the sinew of the
hip.
Hasatan’s forces may
try and bring fear but we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and our testimony!
(Gen
33:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ
lifted his eyes and looked and saw Ěsaw coming, and with him four hundred men.
And he divided the children among Lĕ’ah, and Raḥĕl, and the two female
servants. (Gen 33:2) And he put the female servants and their
children in front, and Lĕ’ah and her children behind, and Raḥĕl and Yosĕph
last. (Gen 33:3) And he himself passed over before them and
bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. (Gen 33:4) And
Ěsaw ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him,
and they wept. (Gen 33:5) And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and
children, and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children with
whom Elohim has favored your servant.” (Gen 33:6) Then the female servants came near, they and
their children, and bowed themselves. (Gen 33:7) And Lĕ’ah also came near with her children,
and they bowed themselves. And Yosĕph and Raḥĕl came near, and they bowed
themselves. (Gen 33:8) Then Ěsaw said, “What do you mean by all this
company which I met?” And he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Gen 33:9) But
Ěsaw said, “I have enough, my brother, let what you have remain yours.” (Gen 33:10)
And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your eyes,
then receive my present from my hand, because I have seen your face like seeing
the face of Elohim, and you were pleased with me. (Gen
33:11) “Please, take my blessing
that is brought to you, because Elohim has favored me, and because I have all I
need.” And he urged him, and he took it. (Gen
33:12) And he said, “Let us
depart and go, and let me go before you.” (Gen 33:13) But he said to him, “My master knows that the
children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And
if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flocks shall die. (Gen 33:14)
“Please let my master go before his servant, and let me lead on slowly
according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and according to the
pace of the children, until I come to my master in Sĕʽir.” (Gen 33:15)
And Ěsaw said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are
with me.” But he said, “Why this? Let me find favor in the eyes of my master.” (Gen 33:16)
And Ěsaw returned that day on his way to Sĕʽir. (Gen
33:17) And Yaʽaqoḇ set out to
Sukkoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. That is
why the name of the place is called Sukkoth. (Gen
33:18) And Yaʽaqoḇ came safely
to the city of Sheḵem, which is in the land of Kenaʽan, when he came from
Paddan Aram. And he pitched his tent before the city. (Gen
33:19) And he bought the portion
of the field where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Ḥamor,
Sheḵem’s father, for one hundred qesitah. (Gen 33:20) And he set up an altar there and called it Ěl
Elohĕ Yisra’ĕl.
Uh Oh….
There is but one Torah (Law) Giver and one Judge and when we try to sit
on His Throne- we err greatly; and we are the ones who get judged!
(Gen
34:1) And Dinah, the daughter of Lĕ’ah, whom she
had borne to Yaʽaqoḇ, went out to see the
daughters of the land. (Gen 34:2) And Sheḵem, son of Ḥamor the Ḥiwwite,
prince of the land, saw her and took her and lay with her, and humbled her. (Gen 34:3) And
his being clung to Dinah the daughter of Yaʽaqoḇ, and he loved the girl and
spoke kindly to the girl. (Gen 34:4) And Sheḵem spoke to his father Ḥamor,
saying, “Take this girl for me for a wife.” (Gen 34:5) And Yaʽaqoḇ heard that he had defiled Dinah
his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Yaʽaqoḇ
kept silent until they came. (Gen 34:6) And Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem, went out
to Yaʽaqoḇ to speak with him. (Gen 34:7) And the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ came in from the
field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very wroth, because he
had done a senseless deed in Yisra’ĕl by lying with Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter, which
should not be done. (Gen 34:8) But Ḥamor spoke with them, saying, “My son
Sheḵem’s being longs for your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife. (Gen 34:9)
“And intermarry with us, give us your daughters and take our daughters
for yourselves, (Gen 34:10) and dwell with us,
and let the land be before you. Dwell and move about in it, and have
possessions in it.” (Gen 34:11) And Sheḵem said to her father and her
brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I give. (Gen 34:12)
“Ask of me a bride price and gift ever so high, and I give according to
what you say to me, but give me the girl for a wife.” (Gen
34:13) But the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
answered Sheḵem and Ḥamor his father, and spoke with deceit, because he had
defiled Dinah their sister. (Gen 34:14) And they said to them, “We are not able to do
this matter, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be
a reproach to us. (Gen 34:15) “Only on this condition would we agree
to you: If you become as we are, to have every male of you circumcised, (Gen 34:16) then we shall give our daughters to you,
and take your daughters to us. And we shall dwell with you, and shall become
one people. (Gen 34:17) “But if you do not listen to us and be
circumcised, we shall take our daughter and go.” (Gen
34:18) And their words pleased
Ḥamor and Sheḵem, Ḥamor’s son. (Gen 34:19) And the young man did not delay to do this
because he delighted in Yaʽaqoḇ’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all
the household of his father. (Gen 34:20) And Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son came to the
gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying, (Gen 34:21) “These men are at peace with us, so let
them dwell in the land and move about in it. And see, the land is large enough
for them. Let us take their daughters for us for wives, and let us give them
our daughters. (Gen 34:22) “Only on this condition would the men
agree to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised
as they are circumcised. (Gen 34:23) “Their herds and their possessions and all
their beasts, shouldn’t they be ours? Only let us agree with them, and let them
dwell with us.” (Gen 34:24) And all who went out of the gate of his city
listened to Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son; every male was circumcised, all who
went out of the gate of his city. (Gen 34:25) And it came to be on the third day, when they
were in pain, that two of the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, Shimʽon and Lĕwi, Dinah’s
brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the
males. (Gen 34:26) And they killed Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son
with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Sheḵem’s house, and went out. (Gen 34:27)
The sons of Yaʽaqoḇ came upon the slain, and plundered the city,
because they had defiled their sister. (Gen 34:28) They took their flocks and their herds, and
their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that, which was in the field,
(Gen 34:29) and all their wealth. And all their
little ones and their wives they took captive, and they plundered all that was
in the houses. (Gen 34:30) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Shimʽon and Lĕwi, “You
have troubled me by making me a stench among the inhabitants of the land, among
the Kenaʽanites and the Perizzites. And I am few in number, they shall gather
themselves against me and shall smite me, and I shall be destroyed, my
household and I.” (Gen 34:31) But they said, “Should he treat our sister
like a whore?”
Rid ourselves of IDOLS- (Perhaps people
or things we consider more precious than building relationship with YHWH!
(Gen
35:1) And Elohim said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Arise, go up to Bĕyth Ěl and dwell there. And
make an altar there to Ěl that appeared to you when you fled from the face of
Ěsaw your brother.” (Gen 35:2) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to his household and to all
who were with him, “Put away the foreign
mighty ones that are among you, and cleanse yourselves, and change your
garments. (Gen 35:3) “And
let us arise and go up to Bĕyth Ěl, and let me make there an altar to Ěl, which
answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me in the way which I
have gone.” (Gen 35:4) So they gave Yaʽaqoḇ all the foreign mighty
ones which were in their hands, and all their earrings which were in their
ears. And Yaʽaqoḇ hid them under the terebinth tree which was near Sheḵem. (Gen 35:5) And
they departed, and the fear of Elohim was upon the cities that were all around
them, and they did not pursue the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ. (Gen
35:6) And Yaʽaqoḇ came to Luz
that is Bĕyth Ěl, which is in the land of Kenaʽan, he and all the people who
were with him. (Gen 35:7) And he built there an altar and called the
place El Bĕyth Ěl, because there Elohim appeared to him when he fled from the
face of his brother. (Gen 35:8) And Deḇorah, Riḇqah’s nurse, died, and she
was buried below Bĕyth Ěl under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was
called Allon Baḵuth. (Gen 35:9) And Elohim appeared to Yaʽaqoḇ again, when
he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him. (Gen 35:10) And Elohim said to him, “Your name is
Yaʽaqoḇ, your name is no longer called Yaʽaqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl is your name.”
So He called his name Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 35:11) And Elohim said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai.
Bear fruit and increase, a nation and a company of nations shall be from you,
and sovereigns come from your body. (Gen 35:12) “And the land which I gave Aḇraham and
Yitsḥaq I give to you. And to your seed after you I give this land.” (Gen 35:13)
And Elohim went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him. (Gen 35:14)
And Yaʽaqoḇ set up a standing column in the place where He had spoken
with him, a monument of stone. And he poured a drink offering on it, and he
poured oil on it.
Beth El: Place-town of Elohim- YHWH! Flee Sexual perversion or lose birthright-
(Gen 35:15) And Yaʽaqoḇ called the name of the place
where Elohim spoke with him, Bĕyth Ěl. (Gen 35:16)
then they set out from Bĕyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little
distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥĕl began to give birth, and had great
difficulty giving birth. (Gen 35:17) And it came to be, as she was having great
difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is
another son for you.” (Gen 35:18) And it came to be, as her life was going out
– for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him
Binyamin. (Gen 35:19) So Raḥĕl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath
that is Bĕyth Leḥem. (Gen 35:20) And Yaʽaqoḇ set a standing column on her
grave, which is the monument of Raḥĕl’s grave to this day. (Gen 35:21)
And Yisra’ĕl set out and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Ěḏer. (Gen 35:22)
And it came to be, when Yisra’ĕl dwelt in that land, that Re’uḇĕn went and lay with Bilhah his
father’s concubine. And Yisra’ĕl heard about it. Now the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ
were twelve: (Gen 35:23) the sons of Lĕ’ah were
Re’uḇĕn, Yaʽaqoḇ’s first-born, and Shimʽon, and Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah, and
Yissasḵar, and Zeḇulun; (Gen 35:24) the sons
of Raḥĕl were Yosĕph and Binyamin; (Gen 35:25)
the sons of Bilhah, Raḥĕl’s female servant, were Dan and Naphtali; (Gen 35:26) and the sons of Zilpah, Lĕ’ah’s female
servant, were Gaḏ and Ashĕr. These were the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ who were born to
him in Paddan Aram. (Gen 35:27) And Yaʽaqoḇ came to his father Yitsḥaq at
Mamrĕ, or Qiryath Arba, that is Ḥeḇron, where Aḇraham and Yitsḥaq had
dwelt. (Gen 35:28) And the days of Yitsḥaq were one hundred and
eighty years. (Gen 35:29) So Yitsḥaq breathed his last and died, and
was gathered to his people, aged and satisfied of days. And his sons; Ěsaw and
Yaʽaqoḇ buried him.
Esau- the father of the Edomites who are
destroyed by YHWH down to the last man in the last days!!
(Gen
36:1) And this is the genealogy of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom. (Gen 36:2) Ěsaw took his wives from the daughters of
Kenaʽan: Aḏah the daughter of Ělon the Ḥittite, and Oholiḇamah the daughter
of Anah, the daughter of Tsiḇʽon the Ḥiwwite; (Gen
36:3) and Basemath, Yishmaʽĕl’s daughter, sister of Neḇayoth. (Gen 36:4) And
Aḏah bore Eliphaz to Ěsaw, and Basemath bore Reʽuw’ĕl. (Gen 36:5) And Oholiḇamah
bore Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam, and Qoraḥ. These were the sons of Ěsaw who were born
to him in the land of Kenaʽan. (Gen 36:6) And
Ěsaw took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the beings of his
household, and his herds and all his beasts, and all his possessions which he
had gained in the land of Kenaʽan, and went to a land away from the presence of
his brother Yaʽaqoḇ. (Gen 36:7) Their possessions were too great for them to
dwell together, and the land of their sojournings could not support them
because of their herds. (Gen 36:8) So Ěsaw dwelt in Mount Sĕʽir. Ěsaw is Eḏom. (Gen 36:9) And
this is the genealogy of Ěsaw the father of the Eḏomites in Mount Sĕʽir. (Gen 36:10)
These were the names of Ěsaw’s sons: Eliphaz son of Aḏah, wife of Ěsaw,

were Tĕman, Omar, Tsepho, and Gatam, and Qenaz. (Gen

Zeraḥ, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Ěsaw’s wife. (Gen 36:14)
These were the sons of Oholiḇamah, Ěsaw’s wife, the daughter of Anah,
the daughter of Tsiḇʽon. And she bore to Ěsaw: Yeʽush, and Yaʽlam, and Qoraḥ.

These were the chiefs of the sons of Ěsaw. The sons of Eliphaz, the
first-born son of Ěsaw, were Chief Tĕman, Chief Omar, Chief Tsepho, Chief

These were the sons of Ěsaw, who is Eḏom, and these were their chiefs. (Gen 36:20)
These were the sons of Sĕʽir the Ḥorite who inhabited the land: Lotan,
and Shoḇal, and Tsiḇʽon, and Anah, (Gen 36:21)
and Dishon, and Ětser, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites, the
sons of Sĕʽir, in the land of Eḏom. (Gen 36:22) And the sons of Lotan were Ḥori and Hĕmam.
Lotan’s sister was Timna. (Gen 36:23)
And these were the sons of Shoḇal: Alwan, and Manaḥath, and Ěyḇal,
Shepho, and Onam. (Gen 36:24) And these were the sons of Tsiḇʽon: both
Ayah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the water in the wilderness as he
fed the donkeys of his father Tsiḇʽon. (Gen 36:25) And these were the children of Anah: Dishon
and Oholiḇamah the daughter of Anah. (Gen 36:26) And these were the sons of Dishon: Ḥemdan,
and Eshban, and Yithran, and Keran. (Gen 36:27) These were the sons of Ětser: Bilhan, and

These were the chiefs of the Ḥorites, according to their chiefs in the land of
Sĕʽir. (Gen 36:31) And these were the sovereigns who reigned in
the land of Eḏom before any sovereign reigned over the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Gen 36:32)
And Bela the son of Beʽor reigned in Eḏom, and the name of his city was

name was Mehĕtab’ĕl, the daughter of Matrĕḏ, the daughter of Mĕyzahaḇ. (Gen 36:40)

Edom (Muslim/Arabic countries) is totally
destroyed in the last days and He even tells us why! “In That Day” is a Hebrew
idiom for the day of Jacob’s Troubles. Believer DO NOT line up your words with
the Philistines (Palestinians)!
(Oba
1:1) The vision of Oḇaḏyah: This is what the Master יהוה said
concerning Eḏom. We have
heard a report from יהוה, and a messenger has
been sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let us rise up against her for
battle!” (Oba 1:2) “See, I have made you small among the
nations, you are greatly despised. (Oba 1:3) “The pride of
your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the
rock, whose dwelling is high, who says in your heart, ‘Who shall bring me down
to the ground?’ (Oba 1:4) “Though you raise high as the eagle, and
though you set your nest among the stars, from
there I shall bring you down,” declares יהוה. (Oba 1:5) “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night,
how ruined you would have been! Would they not steal till they had enough? If
grape-gatherers had come to you, would they not leave gleanings? (Oba 1:6) “How
Ěsaw shall be searched out! His hidden treasures shall be sought out! (Oba 1:7) “All
your allies shall send you forth to the border; your friends shall deceive you
and overpower you. They make your bread a snare under you, without you
discerning it! (Oba 1:8) “In
that day,” declares יהוה, “I shall destroy the wise
men from Eḏom, and discernment from the mountains of Ěsaw! (Oba 1:9) “And your mighty men shall be discouraged, O Tĕman, so
that everyone from the mountains of Ěsaw is cut off by slaughter. (Oba 1:10) “Because of your violence against your brother Yaʽaqoḇ,
let shame cover you. And you shall be
cut off forever. (Oba 1:11) “In the day that you stood on the other side,
in the day that strangers took captive his wealth, when foreigners entered his
gates and cast lots for Yerushalayim, you also were like one of them! (Oba 1:12)
“And you should not have looked on your brother’s day in the day of his
estrangement, nor rejoiced over the children of Yehuḏah in the day of their
destruction, nor made your mouth great in the day of distress, (Oba 1:13) nor
have entered the gate of My people in the day of their calamity, nor looked
down on their evil in the day of their calamity, nor have seized their wealth
in the day of their calamity, (Oba 1:14) nor have stood at the parting of the way to
cut off his fugitives, nor handed over his survivors in the day of distress. (Oba 1:15)
“For the Day of יהוה is near upon all the gentiles. As you have done, it shall
be done to you; your reward shall come back on your own head. (Oba 1:16)
“For as you have drunk on my set-apart mountain, so do all the gentiles
drink continually. And they shall drink and shall swallow, and they shall be as
though they had never been. (Oba 1:17) “But on Mount Tsiyon there shall be an escape 1, and they shall be set-apart. And
the house of Yaʽaqoḇ shall possess their possessions. Footnote:
1 Isa. 4:2-3, Joel 2:32, Rev. 14:1. (Oba
1:18) “And the house of Yaʽaqoḇ
shall be a fire, and the house of Yosĕph a flame, but the house of Ěsaw for stubble.
And they shall burn among them and they shall consume them, so that no
survivor is left of the house of Ěsaw.”
For יהוה has spoken. (Oba 1:19) And they shall possess the South with the
mountains of Ěsaw, and low country with the Philistines (Palestinians). And they shall possess the fields of Ephrayim and
the fields of Shomeron, and Binyamin with Gilʽaḏ, (Oba
1:20) and the exiles of this host of the children of Yisra’ĕl possess
that of the Kenaʽanites as far as Tsarephath, and the exiles of Yerushalayim
who are in Sepharaḏ possess the cities of the South. (Oba
1:21) And saviors shall come to
Mount Tsiyon to judge the mountains of Ěsaw. And the
reign shall belong to יהוה1. Footnote: 1 Ps. 2:8, Ps. 22:28, Dan. 2:44, Dan.

Admah and Zeboim
were numbered with Sodom and Gomorrah- but we receive MERCY! (Ephraim is the scattered tribes who are
grafted into ISRAEL- US!)
(Hosea
11:7) “My people are bent towards backsliding from
me. Though they call to the Most High, He lifts none of them up. (Hosea 11:8)
“How could I give you up, Ephrayim? How could I hand you over, Yisra’ĕl?
How could I make you like Aḏmah?
How could I set you like Tseḇoyim? My heart turns within me, all my compassion
is kindled. (Hosea 11:9) “I shall not
let the heat of my wrath burn; I shall not turn to destroy Ephrayim.
(Hallelu-Yah- this is us!)I am Ěl,
and not man, the Set-apart One in your midst, and I shall not come in enmity. (Hosea 11:10)
“Let them follow יהוה. Like a lion He roars. When He roars, then sons shall tremble
from the west. (Hosea 11:11) “They shall tremble like a bird from
Mitsrayim, and like a dove from the land of Ashshur. And I shall let them dwell
in their own houses,” declares יהוה. (Hosea 11:12)
“Ephrayim has surrounded me with lying, and the house of Yisra’ĕl
with deceit. But Yehuḏah is still wandering with Ěl, and is true to the
Set-apart One.” (Hosea 12:1) Ephrayim is feeding on wind, and pursuing an
east wind. All the day he increases falsehood and ruin. And they make a
covenant with Ashshur (Easter),
and oil is sent to Mitsrayim. (Hosea 12:2) And יהוה has a controversy with Yehuḏah, to punish
Yaʽaqoḇ according to his ways, to repay him according to his deeds. (Hosea 12:3)
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he
strove with Elohim. (Hosea 12:4) He strove with the Messenger and overcame 1;
he wept and sought His favor. He found Him in Bĕyth Ěl, and there He spoke to
us – Footnote: 1 Gen. 32:28. (Hosea 12:5) even יהוה
Elohim of hosts, יהוה is His remembrance. (Hosea 12:6)
Therefore, return to your Elohim. Guard kindness and right-ruling, and
wait on your Elohim continually. (Hosea 12:7) A merchant! In his hand are scales of deceit,
he loved to oppress. (Hosea 12:8) And Ephrayim says, “Indeed, I have become
rich, I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find in me no
crookedness that is sin.” (Hosea 12:9) “But I am יהוה
your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, again I shall make you dwell in tents
as in the days of the appointed time 1.
Footnote: 1 Or festival. (Hosea 12:10)
“And I have spoken to the prophets, and have increased visions. And
through the prophets I gave parables.” (Hosea 12:11) Is Gilʽaḏ wicked? Certainly, they have been
false! In Gilgal they have offered bulls. Also their altars are as heaps on a
plowed field. (Hosea 12:12) And when Yaʽaqoḇ fled to the country of
Aram, Yisra’ĕl served for a wife, and for a wife he kept watch. (Hosea 12:13)
And by a prophet יהוה brought Yisra’ĕl out
of Mitsrayim, and by a prophet he was watched over. (Hosea 12:14) Ephrayim has provoked most bitterly. So his
Master left his blood-guilt on him, and repaid him for his reproach.
Eat the Word which is the BREAD OF
LIFE! Be washed in His blood! Gethsemane means “wine press” and it relates to
us being squeezed and pressed like Messiah! We really
won’t be able to glory in our own abilities as we all stumble in many ways…
(Mat
26:26) And as they were eating, יהושע took bread,
and having blessed, broke and gave it to the taught ones and said, “Take, eat, this is
my body.” (Mat 26:27) And taking the cup, and giving thanks, He
gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
(Mat 26:28) “For
this is my blood, that of the renewed
covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Mat 26:29) “But I say to you, I shall certainly not drink of this fruit
of the vine from now on till that day when I drink it anew with you in the
reign of My Father.” (Mat 26:30) And having sung a song, they went out to the
Mount of Olives. (Mat 26:31) Then יהושע
said to them, “All of you shall stumble in me this
night, for it has been written, ‘I shall strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of
the flock shall be scattered.’1
Footnote: 1Mark. 14:27, Zech. 13:7. (Mat 26:32) “But after I have been raised, I shall go before you into
Galil.” (Mat 26:33) And Kĕpha answering, said to Him, “Even if
all stumble in You, I shall never stumble.” (Mat
26:34) יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this night, before the cock crows,
you shall deny me three times.” (Mat 26:35) Kĕpha said to Him, “Even if I have to die
with You, I shall not deny you!” All the taught ones said the same too. (Mat 26:36)
Then יהושע came with them to a
place called Gethsemane, and said to the taught ones, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
Loved One, remember to share this particular Torah
Study with Loved Ones as we must be about our Father’s business- and this is
what glorifies the Father-that we produce fruit; therefore my prayer and decree
for you: (John 15:1) "I am the true
vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. (John
15:2) Every
branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does
bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. (John 15:3) Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken
to you. (John 15:4) Abide in me, and I in
you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you, unless you abide in me. (John
15:5) I
am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is
that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:6) If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a
branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and
burned. (John 15:7) If you abide in me,
and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (John 15:8) By this my Father
is glorified, that you bear much fruit and
so prove to be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father has
loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. (John 15:10) If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just
as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your
wonderful and targeted prayers for us- Billie and I so appreciate your prayers-
they are a lifeline to the Kingdom! 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 prayer on all
our prayer fronts! This will glorify our Father in Heaven!

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
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother)
