Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
for those who want to go deeper into the realm of
the Spirit and draw closer to our coming King and be used even as Philip was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vm4Zt1udBk
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…
Here’s a short review of last week: 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
WE FEAR NOT! WE ONLY BELIEVE! Mark 5:35 As He was speaking, they came from
the ruler of the congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter
is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” Mark
5:36 But having heard the word that was spoken, יהושע said to the
ruler of the congregation, “Do not be afraid –
only believe.”
Since we are keenly aware that the love of many is grown cold, more
wickedness abounds and greater darkness is covering the earth; I want to
address the natural tendencies to fear. Note
also how we KNOW we are His children- the Ruach bears witness to us! As we
yield and become the manifested sons and daughters of YHWH we will banish all
fear from our lives.
(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) For the
intense longing1 of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of
the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Literal anxiously
looking with outstretched head. (Romans
8:20) 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. (Romans 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? (Romans
8:25) And if we expect what we do
not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. (Romans
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’s 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- a demon) (Romans 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. (Comment: as we yield and submit our tongues by our will- we allow Him
to do the praying; and He never misses the mark as He is TRUSTWORTHY) (Romans 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. Okay
Loved One, I will try to address how to banish fear from us
as we restore childlike faith. Remember, He inhabits the praises of His people!
Luke
11:10 “Everyone asking receives, and he who is seeking finds, and
to him who is knocking it shall be opened. Luke
11:11 “And what father among you whose son asks
for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, Luke 11:12 or if he asks for an egg shall give him a scorpion? (Comment: Snakes and scorpions are defined
in Luke 10:19 as the power of the enemy- or the demonic realm) Luke 11:13 “If you then, being
wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your
Father from heaven give the Set-apart
Spirit to those asking Him!”
Praying in the
Spirit (Unknown tongues) allows us to
build up our trust/belief/faith and remove fear which is
the opposite of faith and believing. It also allows the Ruach HaKodesh to download love into our hearts. This removes the emphasis
from us to what He wants prayed for and He always has our best interests at
heart- along with the needs of others. This also brings His shalom upon us,
which is a powerful force. Note also that this sort of prayer allows Him to
keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless! Jude 1:20
But
you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief,
praying in the Set-apart Spirit, Jude 1: 21 keep yourselves
in the love of Elohim, looking for the compassion of our Master יהושע Messiah unto
everlasting life. Jude 1:22 and show compassion toward some who are doubting, Jude 1:23 but others save with fear, snatching them
out of the fire, hating, even the garment defiled by
the flesh.1 Footnote: 1 See
Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 8:5-10. Jude 1:24
And to Him who
is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His esteem with exceeding
joy, Jude 1:25
to the only wise Elohim, our Savior, be esteem and greatness and might
and authority, both now and forever. Amĕn.
Romans 5:1
Therefore, having been declared right by belief (Faith-trust), we have peace with
Elohim through our Master יהושע Messiah, Romans
5:2 through whom also we have access
by belief (Faith-trust), into this favor in
which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim. Romans 5:3 and not only this, but we also exult in
pressures, knowing that pressure works endurance; Romans
5:4 and endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, expectation. Romans 5:5 and expectation (Hope) does not disappoint, because the love of Elohim has
been poured out in our hearts by the Set-apart Spirit which was given to us.
Many would
consider worship to be a MEANS to get in the Throne Room and get our prayers
answered etc.; but WORSHIP is the prize, not the means to the prize. Yes- we
enter His gates or realm with Thanksgiving and enter His courts and presence
with PRAISE! Do you and I dance daily before our Creator and tell of His
marvelous love and attributes? (Likened to
King David dancing before Him) Do we lose ourselves in His wonderful and
merciful love? Do we download His compassion, mercy and love for mankind that
we may rightly represent Him? His love is not the natural love of this earth
that determines to love as long as we are being loved back- His love is
UNCONDITIONAL, although His blessings are extremely conditional. Our love will
fail- His kind of love will never fail. If He is lifted up, He will use us as a
light in this darkening world and draw all mankind to Himself. Obviously, we
must change into His image and die to our old nature for us to be used of Him.
Worship Him who created all things! Understand Loved One; worship takes
diligence, practice, and a pure heart. Forgive others quickly that you may be
forgiven. Start by lifting your hands in
surrender without wrath against anyone and without doubt trusting Him by
thanking Him as the old hymn speaks- “Count your blessings count them one
by one, count your many blessings, see what YHWH’s done- count your blessings…GIVE
HIM THANKS!
You see,
worship is not about us in this relationship, it is all about Him as He alone
can provide what we seek- Peace, Love, Mercy, Direction, Provision, Protection,
the list is indeed ENDLESS because He is I AM! (Not I was or will be) Since He inhabits the
praise of His people, fear cannot stay on us!
Let’s change what we speak if our
facts and circumstances don’t seem to line up with His promises- for what is
SEEN is indeed only temporary and His
promise (Unseen) will be
forever! (Mark 13:31) “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall
by no means pass away.” So let’s
grasp and confess the plan of YHWH and what Yahshua was sent for: (Romans 10:8) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in
your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming
(Speaking agreement with): (Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in
your heart that
Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you
shall be saved. (Romans 10:10) For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved (Greek word SOZO means: Delivered- made
whole, healed and overcome). (Romans 10:11) Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his
trust in Him shall not be put to shame.” (Romans
10:12) Because there is no
distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to
all those calling upon Him. (Romans 10:13) “Everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.” (The Greek
word saved is SOSO and it is defined as saved, healed, made whole and
delivered- it means from every attack by hell’s minions!) So as you and I can easily see above we must
confess or speak words that Yahshua- this is not just about salvation for when
you die; it is about our deliverance from every attack from hell- we confess (Speak) Yahshua- the WORD! The WORD made
flesh and dwelled among us but always the WORD!
We must humble
ourselves and submit to His words. We change as He will not- He is the same
yesterday, today and forever. That only leaves us to change. When we submit-
forget now about horizontal relationships changing- we can only submit for
ourselves- hasatan will flee and we will receive Yahshua’s peace. He has overcome
this world so we can be in good cheer and FEAR NOT! Remember in our loving
obedience to our Heavenly Father- we bless those that curse us and pray for those that
spitefully use us! (Luke 6:27)
“But I say to you who are hearing: Love your enemies, do
good to those hating you. (Luke 6:28) “Bless those
cursing you, and pray for those insulting you.
Will we walk in His love? He will
soon see our answer as darkness continues…loving our enemies is easier said
than done but it is possible as we move deeper into Him.
Many loved ones are full of fear- even if I
add FEAR NOT before or after the
announcement of danger approaching which has been planned by wicked men and
demons/aliens (Nephilim?) who are directing them! Doesn’t really help to be
aware of these plans as in News You May Not Have Heard if we do not have peace
and assurance in our relationship with our KING! Naturally, these loved ones
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 are
defending themselves the only way they know how (Like we sometimes do in
justifying ourselves), but there is a
much better answer. However; they will never hear us, nor receive His
overcoming power until they see us loving them. Then they also can really fear not!
It seems to
come down to this loved one; we must “stand down” and not allow ourselves to
justify ourselves---then HE will defend us! Even when they accuse us falsely;
we must become like our King and stand down. Really, even if we have been
falsely accused…our DNA record has sinned all the way back to Adam---so even if
wrongfully accused we seek forgiveness and the record to be purged against
us---be forgiven… on the way to court we settle—we humble ourselves and repent.
You will be falsely accused and also called wickedness like Yahshua was called
Beelzebub- when we move into the heavenly realms in thanksgiving, worship and
praise---especially if we worship Him in Ruach and truth!
We need to have a pure heart in us that He- the righteous judge, may work with!
I also suggest we regularly partake of His communion as His DNA is perfect and
the life blood was shed and His body broken—for our DNA to be healed and the
record made white as snow. So forgive others quickly and be forgiven quickly-
so that His righteous judgment may come forth in the earth---ON OUR BEHALF AND
IN OUR FAVOR!
John 4:23
“But the
hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father
in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him. John 4:24 “Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship
in spirit and truth.”
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 our testimony-
that is what
we say and what we do.
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 our fiery 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.
Note that as our light grows as we shed dark deeds and follow Him- we
OVERCOME! As more darkness covers the earth, His people who draw near will gain
more light!
(John 1:1) In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the
Word was
Elohim. (John
1:2) He was in the beginning with Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to be
through Him, 1 and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.
Footnote: 1 Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16,
Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Psalms 33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life,
and the life was the light of men. (John
1:5) And
the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
What are we speaking? Let’s all recognize a vital TRUTH: (The power of OUR tongues!)
(Proverbs 18:21) Death and
life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
Let’s remember also to
not find ourselves in VAIN WORSHIP Let’s not
get so enamored with events and daily distractions- that is- usually things we
enjoy more than spending time fellowshiping with YHWH- things like TV, games,
computer, etc. - as these are labeled as “IDOLS” and restrict us and limits us
to vain meaningless worship; which depicts our relationship with our loving
Creator. Here’s
why we MUST forsake traditions and yes even “hobbies” that are not lined
up with His Torah (Instructions- Word-Law): Our doctrines (DOINGS) MUST
line up with the word forever established in Heaven if we expect our Creator to
confirm His word with signs and wonders following as also He told Jeremiah- “I
am watching over my word to perform it!”— (Jeremiah 1:11) And the word of יהוה came to me,
saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond
tree.” (Jeremiah 1:12) And יהוה
said to me, “You
have seen well, for I am watching over my word to do it.” (Matthew 15:8) ‘This people draw near to me with
their mouth, and respect me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9)
‘But in vain do they worship
me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ” 1 Footnote: 1
Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:7, 2 Kings 17:19.
And the King James: (Matthew 15:8) this
people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their
heart is far from me. (Matthew 15:9) But in vain
they do worship me, teaching for doctrines (doings) the commandments of men.
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…
(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.
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).
Walking by the flesh is walking by
our 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 Exodus 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! (Matthew 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’? (Matthew 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. (Matthew 21:44) “And he who falls on
this stone shall be broken, 1 but on whomever it falls, he shall be
pulverized.” Footnote: 1 Romans
8:10 & 13, Colossians 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 our natural reason and flesh nature- Or we will surely
die!
(Romans 8:6)
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
to the Torah of Elohim2, 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) For 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.”
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” 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 to
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; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people,
behold, his mother and his brethren
stood without, desiring to speak with him. (Matthew
12:47) Then one said unto him,
Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with
you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told
him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Matthew 12:49)
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 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!
With those lessons on our hearts and minds’ let’s look at this
week’s Torah Scriptures!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayeitzey “And He went out”
Genesis 28:10-32:3; Hosea 12:13-14;
John Chapter 1
Through
great trials and turmoil- Covenant and prayer opens portals to Heaven
(Genesis
28:10) And Yaʽaqoḇ
went out from Be’ĕrsheḇa and went toward Ḥaran. (Genesis
28:11) And he came upon a place
and stopped over for the night, for the sun had set. And he took one of the
stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to
sleep. (Genesis 28:12) And he
dreamed and saw a ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached to the
heavens, and saw messengers (Angels)
of Elohim going up and coming down on it. (Genesis
28:13) And see, יהוה stood above it
and said, “I am יהוה Elohim of Aḇraham
your father and the Elohim of Yitsḥaq. The land on which you are lying, I give
it to you and your seed. (Genesis 28:14) “And your seed shall be as the dust of the
earth, and you shall break forth to the west and to the east, to the north and
the south. And all the clans of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your
seed. (Genesis 28:15) “And see, I am with you and shall guard you
wherever you go, and shall bring you back to this land. I am not going to leave
you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (Genesis
28:16) And Yaʽaqoḇ awoke from
his sleep and said, “Truly, יהוה is in this place, and I did not know it.” (Genesis
28:17) And he was afraid and
said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of
Elohim, and this is the gate of the heavens!” (Genesis
28:18) And Yaʽaqoḇ rose early in
the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a
standing column, and poured oil on top of it. (Genesis
28:19) And he called the name of
that place Bĕyth Ěl, however, the name of that city had been Luz previously.
Promise by Jacob to
Tithe/Offerings willingly!
(Genesis 28:20)
And Yaʽaqoḇ made a vow, saying, “Seeing Elohim is with me, and has kept
me in this way that I am going, and has given me bread to eat and a garment to
put on – (Genesis 28:21) when I have returned to my father’s house in
peace, and יהוה has been my Elohim, (Genesis 28:22)
then this stone which I have set as a standing column shall be Elohim’s
house, and of all that You give me, I
shall certainly give a tenth to You.”
Finding YHWH’s plan
and wife for himself!
(Genesis
29:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ
moved on and came to the land of the people of the East. (Genesis 29:2)
And he looked and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep
lying by it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a large stone
was on the well’s mouth. (Genesis 29:3) And all the flocks would be gathered there,
and then they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth and water the sheep,
and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth. (Genesis 29:4)
So Yaʽaqoḇ said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” And they
said, “We are from Ḥaran.” (Genesis 29:5) And he said to them, “Do you know Laḇan son
of Naḥor?” And they said, “We know him.” (Genesis
29:6) So he said to them, “Is he
well?” And they said, “Well. And see, his daughter Raḥĕl is coming with the
sheep.” (Genesis 29:7) And he said, “See, it is still high day, not
the time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and
feed them.” (Genesis 29:8) But they said, “We are not allowed until all
the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the
well’s mouth, then we shall water the sheep.” (Genesis
29:9) While he was still speaking
with them, Raḥĕl came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess. (Genesis 29:10)
And it came to be, when Yaʽaqoḇ saw Raḥĕl the daughter of Laḇan his
mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laḇan his mother’s brother, that Yaʽaqoḇ
went near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of
Laḇan his mother’s brother. (Genesis 29:11) And Yaʽaqoḇ kissed Raḥĕl, and lifted up his
voice and wept. (Genesis 29:12) And when Yaʽaqoḇ told Raḥĕl that he was her
father’s relative and that he was Riḇqah’s son, she ran and told her father. (Genesis 29:13)
And it came to be, when Laḇan heard the report about Yaʽaqoḇ his
sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and
brought him to his house. Then he told Laḇan all these matters. (Genesis 29:14)
And Laḇan said to him, “You are indeed my bone and my flesh.” And he
stayed with him for a month. (Genesis 29:15) Then Laḇan said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Because you
are my relative, should you therefore serve me for naught? Let me know, what
should your wages be?” (Genesis 29:16) And Laḇan had two daughters, the name of the
elder was Lĕ’ah, and the name of the younger was Raḥĕl. (Genesis 29:17)
And Lĕ’ah’s eyes were weak, but Raḥĕl was lovely of form and
appearance. (Genesis 29:18) And Yaʽaqoḇ loved Raḥĕl, so he said, “Let
me serve you seven years for Raḥĕl your younger daughter.” (Genesis 29:19)
And Laḇan said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should
give her to another man. Stay with me.” (Genesis
29:20) So Yaʽaqoḇ served seven
years for Raḥĕl, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he
had for her. (Genesis 29:21) Then Yaʽaqoḇ said to Laḇan, “Give me my
wife, for my days are completed, and let me go in to her.” (Genesis 29:22)
And Laḇan gathered all the men of the place and made a feast. (Genesis 29:23)
And it came to be in the evening, that he took Lĕ’ah his daughter and
brought her to Yaʽaqoḇ. And he went in to her. (Genesis
29:24) And Laḇan gave his female
servant Zilpah to his daughter Lĕ’ah as a female servant. (Genesis 29:25)
And in the morning it came to be, that see, it was Lĕ’ah. So he said to
Laḇan, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Raḥĕl that I served
you? Why then have you deceived me?” (Genesis 29:26) And Laḇan said, “It is not done this way in
our place, to give the younger before the first-born. (Genesis
29:27) “Complete the week of this
one, and then we give you this one too, for the service which you shall serve
with me still another seven years.” (Genesis 29:28) And Yaʽaqoḇ did so and completed her week.
Then he gave him his daughter Raḥĕl too, as wife. (Genesis
29:29) And Laḇan gave his female
servant Bilhah to his daughter Raḥĕl as a female servant. (Genesis 29:30)
And he also went in to Raḥĕl, and he also loved Raḥĕl more than Lĕ’ah.
And he served with Laḇan still another seven years. (Genesis
29:31) And יהוה saw that Lĕ’ah
was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Raḥĕl was barren. (Genesis 29:32)
And Lĕ’ah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Re’uḇĕn,
for she said, “For יהוה has looked on my
affliction, because now my husband is going to love me.” (Genesis 29:33)
And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because יהוה has heard that I am unloved, He gave me
this son too.” And she called his name Shimʽon. (Genesis
29:34) And she conceived again
and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband is joined to me, because I
have borne him three sons.” So his name was called Lĕwi. (Genesis 29:35)
And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I praise יהוה.” So she called his name Yehuḏah. And she
ceased bearing.
The names of the Tribes of Israel! Note
also the strategy to get wealth provided!
(Deuteronomy 8:18) “But you
shall remember יהוה your Elohim, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, in
order to establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is today.
(Genesis
30:1) And when Raḥĕl
saw that she bore Yaʽaqoḇ no children, Raḥĕl envied her sister, and said to
Yaʽaqoḇ, “Give me children, or else I am going to die!” (Genesis 30:2)
And Yaʽaqoḇ’s displeasure burned against Raḥĕl, and he said, “Am I in
the place of Elohim, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?” (Genesis 30:3)
And she said, “See, my female servant Bilhah; go in to her, and let her
bear for me, and let me be built up from her as well.” (Genesis
30:4) So she gave him Bilhah her
female servant as wife, and Yaʽaqoḇ went in to her. (Genesis
30:5) And Bilhah conceived and
bore Yaʽaqoḇ a son. (Genesis 30:6) And Raḥĕl said, “Elohim has rightly ruled my
case, and has also heard my voice and given me a son.” So she called his name
Dan. (Genesis 30:7) And Raḥĕl’s female servant Bilhah conceived
again and bore Yaʽaqoḇ a second son. (Genesis 30:8) And Raḥĕl said, “With great wrestling I have
wrestled with my sister, and I have overcome.” So she called his name Naphtali.
(Genesis 30:9)
And Lĕ’ah saw that she had ceased bearing, and she took Zilpah her
female servant and gave her to Yaʽaqoḇ as wife. (Genesis
30:10) And Lĕ’ah’s female servant
Zilpah bore Yaʽaqoḇ a son. (Genesis 30:11) And Lĕ’ah said, “With Gaḏ!” So she called
his name Gaḏ. (Genesis 30:12) And Lĕ’ah’s female servant Zilpah bore
Yaʽaqoḇ a second son. (Genesis 30:13) And Lĕ’ah said, “I am blessed, for the
daughters shall call me blessed.” So she called his name Ashĕr. (Genesis 30:14)
Re’uḇĕn went in the days of wheat harvest and found love-apples in the
field, and brought them to his mother Lĕ’ah. And Raḥĕl said to Lĕ’ah, “Please
give me some of your son’s love-apples.” (Genesis
30:15) But she said to her, “Is
it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my
son’s love-apples too?” And Raḥĕl said, “Therefore let him lie with you
tonight for your son’s love-apples.” (Genesis 30:16) And when Yaʽaqoḇ came out of the field in
the evening, Lĕ’ah went out to meet him and said, “Do come in to me, for
indeed, I have hired you with my son’s love-apples.” And he lay with her that
night. (Genesis 30:17) And Elohim listened to Lĕ’ah, and she
conceived and bore Yaʽaqoḇ a fifth son. (Genesis
30:18) And Lĕ’ah said, “Elohim
has given me my hire, because I have given my female servant to my husband.” So
she called his name Yissasḵar. (Genesis 30:19)
And Lĕ’ah conceived again and bore Yaʽaqoḇ a sixth son. (Genesis 30:20)
And Lĕ’ah said, “Elohim has presented me with a good present. Now my
husband is going to dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she
called his name Zeḇulun. (Genesis 30:21) And afterward she bore a daughter, and called
her name Dinah. (Genesis 30:22) And Elohim remembered Raḥĕl, and Elohim
listened to her and opened her womb. (Genesis 30:23) And she conceived, and bore a son, and said,
“Elohim has taken away my reproach.” (Genesis 30:24) So she called his name Yosĕph, and said, “יהוה has added to
me another son.” (Genesis 30:25) And it came to be, when Raḥĕl had borne
Yosĕph that Yaʽaqoḇ said to Laḇan, “Send me on my way, to go to my own place
and to my land. (Genesis 30:26) “Give my wives and my children for whom I
have served you, and let me go, for you yourself know my service which I have
done for you.” (Genesis 30:27) And Laḇan said to him, “If I have found
favor in your eyes, please stay, for I have diligently watched that יהוה has blessed me for your sake.” (Genesis 30:28)
And he said, “Name me your wages, and I give it.” (Genesis 30:29)
So he said to him, “You know how I have served you and how your
livestock has been with me. (Genesis 30:30) “For the little you had before I came has
increased greatly, and יהוה has blessed you since
my coming. But now, when am I to provide for my own house too?” (Genesis 30:31)
And he said, “What do I give you?” And Yaʽaqoḇ said, “Give me naught!
If you do this for me, I shall again feed and guard your flocks: (Genesis 30:32) “Let me pass through all your flock
today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the
black ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. And
these shall be my wages. (Genesis 30:33) “And my righteousness shall answer for me in
time to come, when you come concerning my wages: every one that is not speckled
and spotted among the goats, and black among the lambs, it is stolen if it is
with me.” (Genesis 30:34) And Laḇan said, “See, let it be according to
your word!” (Genesis 30:35) And on that day he set aside the male goats
that were speckled and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and
spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the black ones among the
lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons. (Genesis
30:36) And he put three days’
journey between himself and Yaʽaqoḇ, and Yaʽaqoḇ fed the rest of Laḇan’s
flocks. (Genesis 30:37) And Yaʽaqoḇ took for himself rods of green
poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and
exposed the white which was in the rods. (Genesis
30:38) And he set the rods which
he had peeled before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where
the flocks came to drink, and they conceived when they came to drink. (Genesis 30:39)
So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth
streaked, speckled, and spotted. (Genesis 30:40) And Yaʽaqoḇ separated the lambs, and made
the flocks face toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laḇan,
but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laḇan’s
flock. (Genesis 30:41) And it came to be, whenever the strong ones
of the flock conceived, that Yaʽaqoḇ placed the rods before the eyes of the
flock in the gutters, so they would conceive among the rods. (Genesis 30:42)
But when the flocks were weak, he did not put them in, so the weak ones
were Laḇan’s and the strong ones Yaʽaqoḇ’s. (Genesis
30:43) Thus the man increased very much, and had many flocks, and female
and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
The enemy always is
a lover of money and stuff! (Trusting in the flesh realm)
(Genesis
31:1) And he heard the words of Laḇan’s sons, saying, “Yaʽaqoḇ has taken away all that
was our fathers, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth.” (Genesis 31:2)
And Yaʽaqoḇ would look at the face of Laḇan and see that it was not
toward him as before. (Genesis 31:3) And יהוה said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “Return to the land of
your fathers and to your relatives. And I am with you.” (Genesis 31:4) And Yaʽaqoḇ
sent and called Raḥĕl and Lĕ’ah to the field, to his flock, (Genesis 31:5)
and said to them, “I see your father’s face, that it is not toward me as
before, but the Elohim of my father has been with me. (Genesis
31:6) “And you know that I have
served your father with all my strength. (Genesis
31:7) “Yet your father has
deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but Elohim did not allow him to do
evil to me. (Genesis 31:8) “When he said this, ‘The speckled are your wages,’
then all the flocks bore speckled. And when he said this, ‘The streaked are
your wages,’ then all the flocks bore streaked. (Genesis
31:9) “So Elohim has taken away
the livestock of your father and given them to me. (Genesis
31:10) “And it came to be, at the
time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and looked in a dream and
saw the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and mottled.
(Genesis 31:11)
“And the Messenger of Elohim spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Yaʽaqoḇ.’
And I said, ‘Here I am.’ (Genesis 31:12) “And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see,
all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and mottled, for
I have seen all that Laḇan is doing to you. (Genesis
31:13) ‘I am the Ěl of Bĕyth Ěl,
where you anointed the standing column and where you made a vow to me. Now rise
up, get out of this land, and return to the land of your relatives.’ ” (Genesis 31:14) And Raḥĕl and Lĕ’ah answered and
said to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father’s
house? (Genesis 31:15) “Are we not reckoned by him as strangers? He
has sold us, and also entirely consumed our silver. (Genesis
31:16) “All the wealth which
Elohim has taken from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, do
whatever Elohim has told you.” (Genesis 31:17) So Yaʽaqoḇ rose and put his sons and his
wives on camels, (Genesis 31:18) and he drove
off all his livestock and all his possessions which he had acquired, his
property of the livestock which he had acquired in Paddan Aram, to go to his
father Yitsḥaq in the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis
31:19) And when Laḇan had gone to shear his sheep, Raḥĕl stole the
house idols that were her father’s. (Genesis 31:20) And Yaʽaqoḇ deceived Laḇan the Aramean,
because he did not inform him that he was about to flee. (Genesis 31:21)
And he fled with all that he had. And he rose up and passed over the
river, and headed toward the mountains of Gilʽaḏ. (Genesis
31:22) And on the third day
Laḇan was told that Yaʽaqoḇ had fled. (Genesis
31:23) Then he took his brothers
with him and pursued him for seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the
mountains of Gilʽaḏ.
YHWH protects His
own – even giving our enemies warnings to leave us alone!
(Genesis 31:24)
But in a dream by night Elohim
came to Laḇan the Aramean, and said to him, “Guard yourself that you
do not speak to Yaʽaqoḇ either good or evil.” (Genesis
31:25) Then Laḇan overtook
Yaʽaqoḇ. Now Yaʽaqoḇ had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laḇan with
his brothers pitched in the mountains of Gilʽaḏ. (Genesis
31:26) And Laḇan said to
Yaʽaqoḇ, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and driven my
daughters off like captives taken with the sword? (Genesis
31:27) “Why did you flee secretly
and deceive me, and not inform me, and I would have sent you away with joy and
songs, with tambourine and lyre? (Genesis 31:28) “And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and
my daughters. Now you have been foolish to do this. (Genesis
31:29) “It is in the power of my
hand to do evil to you, but the Elohim of your father spoke to me last night,
saying, ‘Guard yourself, that you do not speak to Yaʽaqoḇ either good or
evil.’ (Genesis 31:30) “And now you have gone because you greatly
long for your father’s house, but why did you steal my mighty ones?” (Genesis 31:31)
And Yaʽaqoḇ answered and said to Laḇan, “Because I was afraid, for I
said, ‘Lest you tear your daughters away from me.’ (Genesis
31:32) “With whomever you find
your mighty ones, do not let him live. In the presence of our brothers, see for
yourself what is with me and take it with you.” For Yaʽaqoḇ did not know that
Raḥĕl had stolen them. (Genesis 31:33) And Laḇan went into Yaʽaqoḇ’s tent, and
into Lĕ’ah’s tent, and into the tents of the two female servants, but he did
not find them. And he came out of Lĕ’ah’s tent and entered Raḥĕl’s tent. (Genesis 31:34)
Now Raḥĕl had taken the house idols and put them in the camel’s saddle,
and sat on them. And Laḇan searched all about the tent but did not find them. (Genesis 31:35)
And she said to her father, “Let it not displease my master that I am
unable to rise before you, for the way of women is with me.” And he searched
but did not find the house idols. (Genesis 31:36) And Yaʽaqoḇ was wroth and contended with
Laḇan, and Yaʽaqoḇ answered and said to Laḇan, “What is my transgression?
What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me? (Genesis
31:37) “Now that you have
searched all my goods what have you found of all your household goods? Set it
here before my brothers and your brothers, and let them decide between the two
of us! (Genesis 31:38) “These twenty years I have been with you.
Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I have not
eaten the rams of your sheep. (Genesis 31:39) “That which was torn by beasts I did not
bring to you, I myself bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand,
whether stolen by day or stolen by night. (Genesis
31:40) “Thus I was! By day
the heat consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes. (Genesis 31:41)
“These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years
for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my
wages ten times. (Genesis 31:42) “Unless the Elohim of my father, the Elohim
of Aḇraham and the Fear of Yitsḥaq, had been with me, you would now have sent
me away empty-handed. Elohim has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands,
and rendered judgment last night.” (Genesis 31:43) And Laḇan answered and said to Yaʽaqoḇ,
“These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and this
flock is my flock, and all that you see is mine. But what shall I do today to
these, my daughters or to their children whom they have borne? (Genesis 31:44)
“And now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and it shall be a
witness between you and me.” (Genesis 31:45) So Yaʽaqoḇ took a stone and set it up as a
standing column. (Genesis 31:46) And Yaʽaqoḇ said to his brothers, “Gather
stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap. (Genesis 31:47)
And Laḇan called it Yeḡar Sahaḏutha, but Yaʽaqoḇ called it Galʽĕḏ. (Genesis 31:48)
And Laḇan said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” That
is why its name was called Galʽĕḏ, (Genesis 31:49)
also Mitspah, because he said, “Let יהוה
watch between you and me when we are out of each other’s sight. (Genesis 31:50)
“If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my
daughters, although no man is with us; see, Elohim is witness between you and
me!” (Genesis 31:51) And Laḇan said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “See this heap
and see this standing column, which I have placed between you and me. (Genesis 31:52)
“This heap is a witness, and this standing column is a witness, which I
do not pass beyond this heap to you, and you do not pass beyond this heap and
this standing column to me, for evil. (Genesis 31:53) “The Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of
Naḥor, and the Elohim of their father rightly rule between us!” And Yaʽaqoḇ
swore by the Fear of his father Yitsḥaq. (Genesis
31:54) And Yaʽaqoḇ brought an offering on the mountain, and called his
brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread and spent the night on the mountain. (Genesis 31:55)
And Laḇan rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and
daughters and blessed them. And Laḇan left and returned to his place.
YHWH always gives us
strategy against His enemies! (Jacob I loved but Esaw I hate)
(Genesis
32:1) And Yaʽaqoḇ
went on his way, and the messengers (Angels)
of Elohim met him. (Genesis 32:2) And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw them, he said, “This is
the camp of Elohim.” And he called the name of that place Maḥanayim. (Genesis 32:3)
And Yaʽaqoḇ sent messengers before him to Ěsaw his brother in the
land of Sĕʽir, the field of Eḏom. (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.
Even in Genesis- He
is and was the word- that later became flesh and dwelled among us!
(John
1:1)
In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was
Elohim. (John 1:2) He
was in the beginning with Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to be
through Him, 1 and without Him not even one came to be that
came to be. Footnote: 1 Ephesians 3:9, Colossians
1:16, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Psalms 33:6.
Light of the World gives us
power/authority to become His children!
(John
1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:6) There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name
was Yoḥanan. (John
1:7) This one came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light, that all might
believe through him. (John 1:8) He was not that Light, but that he might bear
witness of that Light. (John 1:9) He was the true Light, which enlightens every
man, coming into the world. (John 1:10) He was in the world, and the world came to be
through Him, and the world did not know Him. (John
1:11) He came to His own, and His
own did not receive Him. (John 1:12) As
many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of
Elohim, to those believing in His Name, (John
1:13) who were born, neither of
blood nor of the desire of flesh or of the desire of man, but of Elohim. (John 1:14)
And the Word became flesh and pitched (Dwelled) His
tent 1 among us, and we saw His esteem (glory), esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete
in favor and truth. Footnote: 1 An
indication that His birth was during the Festival of Booths. (Tabernacles) (John 1:15) Yoḥanan bore witness of Him and cried out,
saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has become before
me, because He was before me.’ ” (John 1:16)
And out of His completeness we all did receive, and favor upon favor, (John 1:17) for the Torah was given through Mosheh –
the favor (Mercy) and the truth came
through יהושע Messiah. (John 1:18) No
one has ever seen Elohim.1 The only brought-forth Son, who is in the
bosom of the Father, He did declare. 2
Footnotes: 1 See 5:37, 6:46, 1 John 4:12.
2 The
pre-existent Son declared, and was the One who appeared to men. (John 1:19)
Now this was the witness of Yoḥanan when the Yehuḏim sent from
Yerushalayim priests and Lĕwites to ask him, “Who are you?” (John 1:20)
And he confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the
Messiah.” (John 1:21) And they asked him, “What then, are you
Ěliyahu?” So he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
(John 1:22)
Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, so that we give an answer to
those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” (John
1:23) He said, “I am a voice of
one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of יהוה,’
as the prophet Yeshayahu said.” (John 1:24) And those sent were of the Pharisees, (John 1:25) and they asked him, saying, “Why then do
you immerse if you are not the Messiah, nor Ěliyahu, nor the Prophet?”
Ask Yahshua to Mikveh
you in His Spirit and prepare you to produce fruit that will remain in these
days- The Day of YHWH!
(John 1:26)
Yoḥanan answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in your midst
stands One whom you do not know, (John 1:27)
the One coming after me, who has become before me, whose sandal strap I am not
worthy to loosen.” (John 1:28) This took place in Bĕyth Anyah beyond the
Yardĕn, where Yoḥanan was immersing. (John 1:29) On the next day Yoḥanan saw יהושע coming toward him, and said, “See, the Lamb of Elohim who takes
away the sin of the world! 1 Footnote: 1 Matthew 1:21, Titus 2:14, 1 John 3:5
& 8. (John 1:30) “This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has become before me, for
He was before me.’ 1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15. (John 1:31)
“And I did not know Him, but that He might be revealed to Yisra’ĕl,
therefore I came immersing in water.” (John 1:32) And Yoḥanan bore witness, saying, “I have
seen the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and remain on Him. (John 1:33)
“And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to immerse in water said to
me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining on Him, this is He who immerses in the Set-apart
Spirit.’ (John 1:34) “And I have seen and have witnessed that this
is the Son of Elohim.” (John 1:35) Again the following day, Yoḥanan was
standing with two of his taught ones, (John 1:36)
and looking at יהושע walking, he said,
“See the Lamb of Elohim!” (John 1:37) And the two taught ones heard him speaking,
and they followed יהושע. (John 1:38)
And יהושע turning, and seeing
them following, said to them, “What do you seek?”
And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (John 1:39) He
said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw
where He was staying, and remained with Him that day. Now it was about the
tenth hour. (John 1:40) Andri, the brother of Shimʽon Kĕpha, was one
of the two who heard from Yoḥanan, and followed Him. (John
1:41) First he found his own
brother Shimʽon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means the
Anointed). (John 1:42) And he brought him to יהושע.
And looking at him, יהושע said, “You are Shimʽon the son of Yonah, you shall be called Kĕpha”
(which means A Stone). (John 1:43) On the following day יהושע
wished to go to Galil, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” (John 1:44) And Philip was from Bĕyth Tsaiḏa, the city
of Andri and Kĕpha. (John 1:45) Philip found Nethanĕ’l and said to him, “We
have found Him whom Mosheh wrote of in the Torah, and the prophets: יהושע of Natsareth – the son of Yosĕph.” (John 1:46)
And Nethanĕ’l said to him, “Is it possible for any good matter to
come out of Natsareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” (John 1:47) יהושע
saw Nethanĕ’l coming toward Him, and said of him, “See,
truly a Yisra’ĕlite, in whom is no deceit!” (John
1:48) Nethanĕ’l said to Him, “From
where do you know me?” יהושע answered and said to
him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the
fig tree, I saw you.” (John 1:49) Nethanĕ’l answered and said to Him, “Rabbi,
You are the Son of Elohim! You are the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl!” (John 1:50) יהושע
answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I
saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? Greater than that you shall see.” (John 1:51)
And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
from now on you shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of Elohim
ascending and descending upon the Son of Aḏam.”
Loved One, here is my prayer and decree over you to
rid you forever of fear! We start today! We lose ourselves in His wonderful and
merciful love! We download His compassion, mercy and love for mankind that we
may rightly represent Him? His love is not the natural love of this earth that
determines to love as long as we are being loved back- His love is
UNCONDITIONAL. His blessings are extremely conditional. Our love will fail- His
kind of love will never fail. We download His love as we worship Him in Spirit
and Truth! As He is lifted up, He will use us as a light in this darkening
world and draw all mankind to Himself. Obviously, we choose to change into His
image and die to our old nature so we may be used of Him. We worship Him who
created all things! We understand Loved One; that worship takes diligence,
practice, and a pure heart. We forgive others quickly that we are forgiven.
We lift our
hands in surrender without wrath against any and without doubt, we trust Him by
thanking Him as the old hymn speaks-
“Count your blessings count them one by one, count your many blessings, see
what YHWH’s done- count your blessings…WE
GIVE HIM THANKS! (Psalms 100:1) Raise a shout for יהוה,
all the earth! (Psalms 100:2) Serve יהוה
with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. (Psalms 100:3) Know
that יהוה, He is Elohim; He has made us, and we are His – His people and
the sheep of His pasture. (Psalms 100:4)
Enter
into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name. (Psalms 100:5) For יהוה is good; His
kindness (mercy) is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.
You see, worship is not about us in this relationship, it
is all about Him as He alone provides what we seek- Peace, Love, Mercy,
Direction, Provision, Protection, the list is indeed ENDLESS because He is I
AM! (NOW- not I was or will be someday)
Since He inhabits the praise of His people, fear cannot stay on us!
THANK YOU for your prayers and intercession and decree
for us! I cannot tell you enough how important and what a lifeline they are.
Please continue to intercede for us as this prayer will allow our prayers for
you to be heard on high! I pray you have an ear to hear and the courage and
provision to obey! Take your eyes off of what is seen and place them on what is
unseen, for what is seen is temporary, and what is unseen (YAH’s Promises) is
eternal- (Matthew 24:33) So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know
that it is near, even at the doors. (Matthew 24:34) Verily I say unto
you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things are fulfilled. (Matthew 24:35)
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
REMEMBER WE OF YHWH FEAR NOT! (Neither do we stick our heads in the
sand- but we remain sober and alert- not fooled by hasatan’s schemes!) Praise Him who made Heaven and Earth! Hallelu-YAH! You
guys brought immediate deliverance from heaven for me this week! THANK YOU! You
are the greatest brothers and sisters on the planet! Hallelu-YAH!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston

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 Yehuḏite 1,
saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” ’ ” Footnote: 1 John 4:22
