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…
 
Manifesting as sons and daughters- we are learning to walk in the Spirit and not the natural or flesh realm!
 
Romans 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.  Romans 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. Romans 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, Romans 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. Romans 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. Romans 8:6 for the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself 1 o the Torah of Elohim 2, neither indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1 Or does not obey. 2 John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18. Romans 8:8 and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim. Romans 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. Romans 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. Romans 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.
 
Romans 8:12 so then, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. Romans 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. Romans 8:14 As many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim. Romans 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.” Romans 8:16  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim, Romans 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.
 
Romans 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. Romans 8:19 the intense longing 1 of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Literal anxiously looking with outstretched head. Romans 8:20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in anticipation, Romans 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed freedom of the children of Elohim. Romans 8:22 for we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.  Romans 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.
 
 
Like Elijah; as sons and daughters- made in the image of our Heavenly Father- we can all walk in effective fervent prayer - as Righteous Ones- because being covered in His blood we are manifesting as sons and daughters of the Living Elohim! As we draw nearer to our King purposely, our intimate heart felt prayer will also avail much!
 
Remember several years ago I shared a story about being bitten on my foot and being crippled from the bite.  I remind you of the prophetic revelation my friend Clay had.  He called to tell after wrestling with YHWH all day that the reason I was bit on the foot and ear was I was leaving doors open for hasatan to strike! YIKES I thought…so what are these doors? He replied, “Your foot speaks of turning the wrong direction and your ear declares you are not hearing Him correctly for some reason as you are being IMPATIENT (Jumping ahead in what I thought was obedience before I had a fuller understanding of His instructions)
 
I was somewhat surprised and prayed and asked YHWH to reveal understanding to me. I received nothing for 2 days. I was finishing a 10 day fast and approximately 3 hours after that fast finished, I heard distinctly from Heaven! Falling asleep; here’s what I was told as I had my pillows under my leg trying to remove the pain; “Turn back the other direction!” (This made no sense to me as I had just turned to my right to try and get some pain relief- but I did as told quickly- only within 30 seconds to forget completely and turn back and try and get more comfortable and remove pain.) SO- did I really obey? NOPE- I totally had turned the wrong way again- now surprisingly to me this happened 3 times- with me doing the same thing each time- not even aware of my blunders- at which point YHWH spoke and lovingly taught me the meaning of the prophetic utterance from my friend:
 
“Son, I have taught you much and you quickly obey- but soon forget and turn based on what you see and feel. You teach correctly that if people do not obey me they have not REALLY heard me at all- so this is why I shared correction with you- don’t be impatient with Me, I know what is best and you can trust My Instructions- TORAH- written OR spoken directly to you- My sheep hear my voice and I am getting you ready for the fiery trials ahead during the time of Jacob’s Troubles. YOU MUST OBEY ME AND FEAR NOT- I am with you and will direct your steps; provide for you and use you both in a mighty way!”
So, Loved One, hopefully you can use my mistake of not inquiring more diligently and listening- to make minor adjustments in your own walk with a loving and merciful King we have! Hallelu-YAH!
 
Last few weeks we’ve discussed: we need his direction and power to overcome the supernatural force aligned against us to OVERCOME and we still do! Remember the importance of not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! We considered the power of our words agreeing with Him and how intimacy in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people and lastly we must continue being filled with His Ruach- trusting in Him for our deliverance:
 
Psalm 22:3 yet you are set-apart, enthroned on (Inhabit- dwell in the midst of) the praises of Yisra’ĕl.  Psalm 22:4 our fathers trusted in you; they trusted, and you delivered them. Psalm 22:5 they cried to you, and were delivered; they trusted in you, and were not ashamed.
 
Obviously spirits of the enemy hasatan cannot hang around when YHWH is present-it’s 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! REMEMBER LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine who His bride is. She (Us) WILL make herself ready.
 
Daniel 11:32  “And by flatteries he (Anti-Messiah) shall profane those who do wrong against the covenant, but the people who know their Elohim shall be strong, and shall act (DO EXPLOITS in several versions of the Bible). Daniel 11:33 “And those of the people who have insight shall give understanding to many. And they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering, for days. Daniel 11:34 “And when they stumble, they shall be helped, a little help, but many shall join them, by flatteries. Daniel 11:35 “And some of those who have insight shall stumble, to refine them, and to cleanse them, and to make them white, until the time of the end, for it is still for an appointed time.
 
 
Our Three Destinies approach and we choose to make ourselves ready as the Bride or not
 
Revelation 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13:10 He who brings into captivity shall go into captivity, he who kills with the sword has to be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the belief of the set-apart ones.
 
1.       If we promote others into captivity to protect ourselves---we go into captivity
2.      If we kill by weapons we shall be killed by weapons
3.      We can escape and endure by faith and trust as we hear and obey- believing Him
 
  
“DOING” the Gospel! Keeping His word patiently at the forefront of our thoughts and tongues!
 
Doing the Gospel has taken on new and special meaning for me. Over the span of 2 weeks I have had three incredible visions- where my daughter (Who is in Heaven) was frantically warning and instructing me…DAD- DO THE GOSPEL---4 times repeated! Funny- I thought I was—but much is required from whom much is forgiven. Oh HalleluYAH!
 
(Revelation 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. (Revelation 3:11)  'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. (Revelation 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. (Revelation 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?
 
(Revelation 21:7)  He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:8)  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
 
We are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…
 
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2 Timothy 1:7)  For Elohim has not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear), but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).
 
We must clean up and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once DRY BONES to become the restored! We cannot follow those of various religious systems who are described here as this sounds a lot like modern Churchianity: (Ezekiel 22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law (Torah/Instructions) and have profaned my holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths- seems we can’t pick our own)
 
 
We realize that He knows our thoughts, which become words which become actions- we must guard our thoughts and bring them into subjection to the word of Yahweh!
 
(Revelation 3:15) 'I know your deeds, which you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. (Revelation 3:16)  'Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold; I’ll spit you out of my mouth. (Revelation 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, (Revelation 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. (Revelation 3:19)  'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation 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. (Revelation 3:21)  'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.
 
It is our destiny to seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory realm; His mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah 29:11)  ‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12)  ‘Then you shall call on me, and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13)  ‘And you shall seek me, and shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart 1. Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 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.’  (Genesis 13:17)  "Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you." (Ephesians 5:14)  That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isaiah 60:1)  “Arise and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
 
Again, remember all things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they aren’t for you and I is UNBELIEF!
 
Unbelief or belief is the real TOPIC in the following Scriptures spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s look closer at why we can believe that statement: (Mark 9:16) And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" (Mark 9:17)  And one of the crowd answered Him, "Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; (Mark 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." (Mark 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!" (Mark 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. (Mark 9:21)  And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
 
(Mark 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!" (Mark 9:23)  And Yahshua said to him, “‘if you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."  (Mark 9:24)  Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief.(Mark 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." (Mark 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!" (Mark 9:27)  But Yahshua took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up. (Mark 9:28)  When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?" (Looking in Matthew) (Matthew 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. (Matthew 17:21)  “But this kind does not go out except through prayer and fasting.” So the topic is not some great demon, even the head of all demons must bow to the name. The problem and topic here is unbelief. We get rid of unbelief by prayer and fasting! Prayer AND Fasting, not prayer without fasting or fasting without prayer- THESE ARE YHWH’S POWER TWINS! If we really want our prayers answered we must be willing to do YHWH’s requirements. If we really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we become under great fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and me?  NOT IF we pray and fast and overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it!  Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebraic or Hebrew thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND OBEY!  Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove our unbelief!
 
Loved One- it is becoming clear that Jacob’s Trouble (Not the Jews only trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more lasting…say eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments burned up leaving nothing but ash? Matthew 21:44 “And he who falls on this stone (The Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Romans. 8:10 & 13, Colossians 3:5. (Deuteronomy 30:19) “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
 
Here’s our prayer Yahweh suggests below- Our Words direct us! Start today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use this prayer!
 
(Luke 21:36)  You watch you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Of course the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having produced fruit that will remain!
 
 
 
If no man (male or female) can tame the tongue, which yields our direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship; how then can our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers” putting down others and building their own kingdoms- which of course will be burned with fire! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
 
 
Summarizing: YHWH knew we could produce no fruit that would remain apart from Him. (John 15:5)  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. (John 15:6)  If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:7)  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:8)  Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9)  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. (John 15:10)  If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love.  John 15:16 you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  Knowing that we will produce no fruit that remains on our own, He provided a method for us to walk in His power and His Spirit- He only requires that we trust Him and yield our tongues (Direction like a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship) (Acts 1:8)  But you (YES this means you and I) shall receive power, after that the Set Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
 
Then immediately after this they all received a prayer language in Acts 2:4! Listen Loved One, do not think you or I will produce ANY fruit that will remain apart from His Holy Spirit directing you- don’t be prideful. Submit (Humble ourselves) to YHWH and the devil will flee- If we don’t submit our tongues; hasatan will continue to dominate us. Hint: they spoke as the Spirit gave utterance- you will have to open your mouth to speak if or most likely when- you ask Yahshua to give you a supernatural prayer language and baptize you in His Spirit. Since you are already one of the 10 virgins (born again spiritually) seems natural intelligence to become of the 5 virgins who have enough oil (power) to enter the Wedding Feast. Yield and hunger for His help and righteousness TODAY while He may be found and watch the devil flee as you are FILLED! Whoever hungers and thirsts for righteousness WILL BE FILLED! Get HUNGRY for Him!
 
PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY WHO INSTRUCTS YOU IN THESE MATTERS…we will need this sort of travel in the Last Days! Obviously it is only for those who DO THE GOSPEL and become very intimate with our KING! BUT, having said that- Yahweh is no respecter of persons- it is for ALL—or whosoever has a passion backed by action for our Messiah—draw near while there is still time Loved One!
 
Walking in these days will require we walk like Yahshua walked- in His supernatural, wisdom, love and power. Consider Dr. Bruce Allen (each 28 min)

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! (Proverbs 18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
 
Fear has no place on the Ruach HaKodesh filled believer- when it is allowed it comes from trusting in hasatan’s power and the storm to do evil against us rather than trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us! Let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:

This week’s Torah Scriptures: MIKETZ “At the End”

Genesis 41:11- 44:17; 1 Kings 3:15- 4:1; 1Kings 7:40-50; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
 
 
 
(Genesis 41:1)  And it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river, (Genesis 41:2) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Genesis 41:3) then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. (Genesis 41:4)  And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. (Genesis 41:5)  And he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good, (Genesis 41:6)  and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Genesis 41:7)  And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream. (Genesis 41:8)  And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:9)  Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my crimes this day. (Genesis 41:10)  “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, (Genesis 41:11) each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, him and me. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. (Genesis 41:12)  “And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream. (Genesis 41:13)  “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” (Genesis 41:14)  Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:15)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to interpret it.” (Genesis 41:16)  And Yosĕph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.” (Genesis 41:17)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river (Genesis 41:18) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Genesis 41:19)  then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:20)  “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. (Genesis 41:21)  “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. (Genesis 41:22)  “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good, (Genesis 41:23)  then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Genesis 41:24)  “And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
 
Dreams are still prophetic – ask the Ruach (Spirit) to guide you into all truth! One thing I have recently learned- if – you and I when we go to bed will think on Scripture and Yahshua- we will have more and more dreams and visions to gain insight!
 
(Genesis 41:25)  And Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: (Genesis 41:26) “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream. (Genesis 41:27)  “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food. (Genesis 41:28)  “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. (Genesis 41:29)  “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim, (Genesis 41:30)  but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land, (Genesis 41:31) and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe. (Genesis 41:32)  “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it. (Genesis 41:33)  “And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:34)  “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty. (Genesis 41:35)  “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. (Genesis 41:36)  “And the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food.” (Genesis 41:37)  And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. (Genesis 41:38)  And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” (Genesis 41:39)  Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. (Genesis 41:40)  “Be over my house, you yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am greater than you.” (Genesis 41:41)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Genesis 41:42)  And Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it on Yosĕph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. (Genesis 41:43)  And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:44)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Genesis 41:45)  And Pharaoh called Yosĕph’s name Zaphnath-Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. And Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:46)  Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh Sovereign of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:47)  And in the seven years of plenty the ground brought forth generously. (Genesis 41:48)  And he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. (Genesis 41:49)  Thus Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting, for it was without number. (Genesis 41:50)  And to Yosĕph were born two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Genesis 41:51)  And Yosĕph called the name of the first-born Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and my entire father’s house.” (Genesis 41:52)  And the name of the second he called Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction.” (Genesis 41:53)  And the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end, (Genesis 41:54)  and the seven years of scarcity of food began to come, as Yosĕph had said. And the scarcity of food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim there was bread. (Genesis 41:55)  But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered, and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrites, “Go to Yosĕph, do whatever he says to you.” (Genesis 41:56)  And the scarcity of food was over all the face of the earth, and Yosĕph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of food was severe in the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:57)  And all the earth came to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.
 
YHWH always has direction for PROVISION and RESTORATION!
 
(Genesis 42:1)  And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw that there was grain in Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ said to his sons, Why do you look at each other? (Genesis 42:2)  And he said, “See, I have heard that there is grain in Mitsrayim. Go down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die.” (Genesis 42:3)  And Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. (Genesis 42:4)  But Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕphs brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.” (Genesis 42:5)  And the sons of Yisra’ĕl went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 42:6)  And Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. (Genesis 42:7)  And Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food. (Genesis 42:8)  So Yosĕph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. (Genesis 42:9)  And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!” (Genesis 42:10)  And they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food. (Genesis 42:11)  “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.” (Genesis 42:12)  But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” (Genesis 42:13)  And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” (Genesis 42:14)  And Yosĕph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ (Genesis 42:15)  “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. (Genesis 42:16)  “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!” (Genesis 42:17)  And he put them all together in prison for three days. (Genesis 42:18)  Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear Elohim: (Genesis 42:19) “If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses. (Genesis 42:20)  “And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed, and you do not die.” And so they did. (Genesis 42:21)  And they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us.” (Genesis 42:22)  And Re’uḇĕn answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of us.” (Genesis 42:23)  And they did not know that Yosĕph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. (Genesis 42:24)  And he turned himself away from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shimʽon from them and bound him before their eyes. (Genesis 42:25)  And Yosĕph commanded and they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them. (Genesis 42:26)  So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there. (Genesis 42:27)  And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack! (Genesis 42:28)  And he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!” And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, “What is this that Elohim has done to us?” (Genesis 42:29)  So they came to Yaʽaqoḇ their father in the land of Kenaʽan and reported to him all that befell them, saying, (Genesis 42:30) “The man, the master of the land, spoke to us harshly, and took us for spies of the land. (Genesis 42:31)  “But we said to him, ‘We are trustworthy, we are not spies. (Genesis 42:32)  ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 42:33) “And the man, the master of the land, said to us, ‘By this I know that you are trustworthy: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the scarcity of food of your households, and go. (Genesis 42:34)  ‘And bring your youngest brother to me, then I know that you are not spies, but that you are trustworthy – I give your brother to you, and you move about in the land.’ ” (Genesis 42:35) And it came to be as they emptied their sacks, that look, the bundle of each man’s silver was in his sack! And when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid. (Genesis 42:36)  And Yaʽaqoḇ their father said to them, You have bereaved me Yosĕph is no more, and Shimʽon is no more, and you would take Binyamin! All this is against me. (Genesis 42:37)  So Re’uḇĕn spoke to his father, saying, “Take the lives of my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I myself bring him back to you.” (Genesis 42:38)  But he said, “My son is not going down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should come to him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my grey hair with sorrow to the grave.”
 
Restoration journey comes with obedient sacrifice called REPENTANCE= TESHUVA!
 
(Genesis 43:1)  But the scarcity of food was severe in the land. (Genesis 43:2)  And it came to be, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Mitsrayim that their father said to them, “Go back, buy us a little food.” (Genesis 43:3)  But Yehuḏah spoke to him, saying, “The man vehemently warned us, saying, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Genesis 43:4) “If you let our brother go with us, we go down and buy you food. (Genesis 43:5)  “But if you do not let him go, we do not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Genesis 43:6) And Yisra’ĕl said, “Why did you do evil to me to inform the man that you still had another brother?” (Genesis 43:7)  And they said, “The man kept asking about us and our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ And we informed him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” (Genesis 43:8)  And Yehuḏah said to Yisra’ĕl his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, and live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. (Genesis 43:9)  “I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever. (Genesis 43:10)  “For if we had not delayed, truly by now we could have returned this second time.” (Genesis 43:11)  And their father Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If so, then do this: Take some of the best fruit of the land in your vessels and bring a present down for the man, a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds. (Genesis 43:12)  “And take double silver in your hand, and take back in your hand the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. It could have been a mistake. (Genesis 43:13)  “And take your brother, and arise, go back to the man. (Genesis 43:14)  “And Ěl Shaddai give to you compassion before the man, so that he shall release your other brother and Binyamin. And I, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved!” (Genesis 43:15)  And the men took that present and Binyamin, and they took double the amount of silver in their hand, and arose and went down to Mitsrayim, and stood before Yosĕph. (Genesis 43:16)  And Yosĕph saw Binyamin with them, and said to the one over his house, “Bring the men home, and make a great slaughter, and prepare, for these men are to eat with me at noon.” (Genesis 43:17)  And the man did as Yosĕph said, and the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s house. (Genesis 43:18)  And the men were afraid because they were brought into Yosĕph’s house. And they said, “It is because of the silver, which was put back into our sacks the first time that we are brought in, to throw himself upon us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves, our donkeys too.” (Genesis 43:19)  So they came near to the man over the house of Yosĕph, and spoke to him at the door of the house, (Genesis 43:20) and said, “O my master, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, (Genesis 43:21) but it came to be, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks and saw each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack, our silver in its weight. And we have brought it back in our hand. (Genesis 43:22)  “And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.” (Genesis 43:23)  But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!” And he brought Shimʽon out to them. (Genesis 43:24)  And the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys fodder. (Genesis 43:25)  And they made the present ready for Yosĕph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there. (Genesis 43:26)  And when Yosĕph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth. (Genesis 43:27)  And he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” (Genesis 43:28)  And they said, “Your servant our father is in good health, he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and did obeisance. (Genesis 43:29)  And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Binyamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “Elohim show favor to you, my son.” (Genesis 43:30)  And Yosĕph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and wept there. (Genesis 43:31)  Then he washed his face and came out, and controlled himself, and said, “Serve the food.” (Genesis 43:32)  And they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Mitsrites. (Genesis 43:33)  And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other in astonishment. (Genesis 43:34)  And he took portions to them from before him, but Binyamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.
 
REPENTANCE always allows for restoration
 
(Genesis 44:1)  And he commanded the one over his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as they are able to bear, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of his sack. (Genesis 44:2)  “And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain.” And he did according to the word of Yosĕph which he spoke. (Genesis 44:3)  As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. (Genesis 44:4)  And when they had gone out of the city, not having gone far, Yosĕph said to the one over his house, “Rise up, follow the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? (Genesis 44:5)  ‘Is this not the one from which my master drinks, and with which he indeed divines? You have done evil in what you have done.’ ” (Genesis 44:6) So he overtook them and spoke these words to them. (Genesis 44:7)  And they said to him, “Why does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do according to this word. (Genesis 44:8)  “See, we brought back to you from the land of Kenaʽan the silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master’s house? (Genesis 44:9)  “With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall become my master’s slaves as well.” (Genesis 44:10)  And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent.” (Genesis 44:11)  And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack. (Genesis 44:12)  And he searched, with the oldest first and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin’s sack. (Genesis 44:13)  And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went back to the city. (Genesis 44:14)  And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to Yosĕphs house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground. (Genesis 44:15)  And Yosĕph said to them, “What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that a man like me indeed divines?” (Genesis 44:16)  And Yehuḏah said, “What do we say to my master? What do we speak? Or how do we clear ourselves? Elohim has found out the crookedness of your servants. See, we are my master’s slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found.” (Genesis 44:17)  But he said, “Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he becomes my slave. And you go up in peace to your father.”
 
Wisdom is from YHWH! Let everyone ask for wisdom and it will be given!
 
(1 Kings 3:15)  And Shelomoh awoke, and see, it was a dream! And he came into Yerushalayim and stood before the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and offered up burnt offerings and made peace offerings. And he made a feast for all his servants. (1 Kings 3:16)  Then two women, whores, came to the sovereign, and stood before him. (1 Kings 3:17)  And one woman said, “O my master, this woman and I dwell in the same house. And I gave birth while she was in the house. (1 Kings 3:18)  “And it came to be, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together. There was no one else with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. (1 Kings 3:19)  “Then this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him. (1 Kings 3:20)  “And she rose up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your female servant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1 Kings 3:21)  “And I rose up in the morning to nurse my son and saw he was dead. But I looked at him closely in the morning, and saw he was not my son whom I had borne.” (1 Kings 3:22)  And the other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And the first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” And they spoke before the sovereign. (1 Kings 3:23)  And the sovereign said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one,’ while the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’ ” (1 Kings 3:24) and the sovereign said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the sovereign. (1 Kings 3:25)  And the sovereign said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” (1 Kings 3:26)  And the woman whose son was living spoke to the sovereign, for she was overcome with compassion for her son. And she said, “O my master, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” (1 Kings 3:27)  And the sovereign answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him – she is his mother.” (1 Kings 3:28)  And all Yisra’ĕl heard of the right- ruling which the sovereign had rendered. And they feared the sovereign, for they saw that the wisdom of Elohim was in him to do right-ruling. (1 Kings 7:40)  And Ḥiram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And Ḥiram completed doing all the work that he was to do for Sovereign Shelomoh on the House of יהוה: (1 Kings 7:41)  the two columns, and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns, and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the columns; (1 Kings 7:42)  and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns; (1 Kings 7:43)  and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands; (1 Kings 7:44)  and the one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea; (1 Kings 7:45)  and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls. And all these utensils which Ḥiram made for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House of יהוה were of polished bronze. (1 Kings 7:46)  The sovereign had them cast in clay in the district of Yardĕn between Sukkoth and Tsarethan. (1 Kings 7:47)  And Shelomoh left all the utensils unweighed, because they were many, nor was the weight of the bronze searched out. (1 Kings 7:48)  So Shelomoh made all the utensils for the House of יהוה: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread; (1 Kings 7:49)  and the lampstands of refined gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the Speaking Place, with the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold; (1 Kings 7:50)  and the basins, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined gold, and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most Set-apart Place, and for the doors of the house of the Hĕḵal. (1 Kings 7:51)  Thus all the work which Sovereign Shelomoh had done for the House of יהוה was completed. And Shelomoh brought in the set-apart items of his father Dawiḏ: the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the House of יהוה.
 
We need to demonstrate His power of speaking His word as He will watch over His word to perform it!
 
 
(1 Corinthians 2:1)  And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1 Corinthians 2:2)  For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1 Corinthians 2:3)  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1 Corinthians 2:4)  And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1 Corinthians 2:5) in order that your belief should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim.
 
Like Joseph, we too are becoming manifested as the sons and daughters of YHWH and will be delivered from all our afflictions- even future scarcity of food and other distresses! (Act 7:9) “And the ancestors, becoming jealous, sold Yosĕph into Mitsrayim. But Elohim was with him, (Act 7:10) and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim. And he appointed him governor over Mitsrayim and his entire house. (Act 7:11)  “Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food. (Act 7:12)  “But Yaʽaqoḇ heard that there was grain in Mitsrayim, and he sent out our fathers the first time, (Act 7:13) and at the second time Yosĕph was made known to his brothers, and Yosĕph’s race became known to the Pharaoh. (Act 7:14)  “And Yosĕph sent and called his father Yaʽaqoḇ and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. (Act 7:15)  “And Yaʽaqoḇ went down to Mitsrayim, and died, he and our fathers, (Act 7:16)  and they were brought over to Sheḵem and laid in the tomb that Aḇraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem.
 
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful and targeted prayers for us- your prayers are a lifeline to the Kingdom! Growth and correction are painful but vital as we strive to become more like Yahshua and less like us! We MUST decrease and He must increase in us! My final prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW draw nearer to our King and even fast and pray (as led by the Ruach) and OVERCOME our own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF and have victory overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify our Father in Heaven!

Continued explanation of the Torah Cycle restart at beginning of monthsIt 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)
 
Let’s look; (Zechariah 8:22) ‘And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek יהוה of hosts in Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’ (Zechariah 8:23)  “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘In those days (Now? YES and in the future also!) Ten men (10 scattered northern tribes called Ephraim and Israel) from all languages of the nations take hold, yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite1, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1John 4:22.
