Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
Why
are we on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox? For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation continued
at end of this week’s study!
Loved
One- It’s Time for our weekly FAMILY TALK! We are becoming BELIEVERS not hopers wishing we were. We are the
blessed of Yahuah!
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man (Yahuah created man---male and female)
who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong (Wicked), and shall not stand in the path of sinners, and shall not
sit in the seat of scoffers, (Mockers)
Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the Torah (Instructions) of יהוה, and he
meditates in His Torah (Instructions)
day and night. Psalms 1:3 For he shall be as a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and
whose leaf does not wither, and whatever
he does prospers. Psalms 1:4 The wrong
are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind blows away. Psalms 1:5 Therefore the wrong shall not rise in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Psalms 1:6 For יהוה
knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wrong comes to naught.
Remember
we are FAMILY! He sets before us life and death- blessings and curses- and then
warns us- Choose Life! A willing and
obedient attitude and position brings us His true riches---among them FAMILY
GIFTS Help in our time of need- which is trues riches we talked about
several weeks ago—it comes from knowing Him and trusting or having faith in Him
and His word as being ABSOLUTE TRUTH-- if we will believe them we can receive
them. Truly our loving Father and Creator can provide anything we need---beyond
our wildest expectation---IF WE BELIEVE!
Love springs forth from Him!
(John 3:16)
“For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son,
so that everyone
who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
(John 3:17)
“Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved
(Greek- Sozo and means saved, healed, delivered, and set free from each and every
attack from hell.) (John 3:18) “He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does
not believe is judged already,
because he has not believed in the Name of the only brought-forth Son of
Elohim. Recently, He spoke that to me; He showed me what He considers a believer to be regarding this and other
verses.
Remember; it is not mental assent like most
of us have thought and been taught- it is not Greek thought, but Hebraic. It is
becoming a DOER of the WORD, and not a hearer only and deceiving ourselves. The
devils BELIEVE (Mental assent but not
submitting and obeying) and shudder! Here is what He showed me so that I
understand what “believing” is to Him; and I suppose this is of life
or death importance since He showed me three times for emphasis!
Here is what He considers a believer to be by His own
definition- not mine and yours- this is why it is life or death importance that
we submit and receive the engrafted word- becoming a DOER and resisting the
devil so that he must flee from the attack on us and our loved ones: (Mark 16:16) “He who has
believed and has been immersed, shall be
saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned. (Mark 16:17) “And these signs
shall accompany the ones who believe:
In My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues, (Mark 16:18) they shall take
up snakes (not physically- this is
in reference to Luke 10:19 where we are given authority over snakes and
scorpions and ALL the power of hell), and if they
drink any deadly drink it shall by no means hurt them, they shall lay
hands on the sick and they shall get well (recover).” Perhaps you and I should
redefine our pursuit of YHWH and His only begotten Son Yahshua; and our
becoming His definition of a believer! We who are willing to die to ourselves
ad become more like Him will walk as He walked!
(1 John 2:4)
The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:5) But whoever guards His Word (Commands), truly the love of
Elohim has been perfected 1 in him. By this we know that we are in Him.2 Footnotes: 1
Genesis 17:1, Psalms 119:1, Matthew 5:48. 2 See 3:24. (1 John 2:6) The one who says he stays in Him ought
himself also to walk, even as He walked. (John
14:12) “Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do
also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My
Father.
Today, I want to look at some of the areas
in our lives that our decision to DRAW NEAR to Yahuah, walking like Yahshua
walked with humble obedience; which can bring us His help and deliverance from
apparent crushing defeats, obstacles and needs in our lives. Perhaps
upon acting upon these; we should ask Him to command His angels concerning us
and our loved ones.
FIRST AREA WE MAY
NEED TO CORRECT IS OUR ATTITUDES TO IS WILLING SUBMISSION!
(Isaiah 1:18)
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they
shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:19) “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat
the good of the land; (Isaiah 1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall
be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken. You can be assured of your deliverance by
the Scripture above- He wants us to bring His promises and protocol as a
reminder- to reason with Him or remind Him of His word and promises to us.
SECONDLY- WE MUST
NOW BRING HIM THANKSGIVINGS
AND COUNT OUR BLESSINGS- NOT OUR NEEDS AND STORMS. We may enter His gates with giving
thanks. THANKSGIVING (How timely for us Americans) and only after, do we enter His
courts with praises! (Not with continual
murmuring and complaining like the forefathers of our faith did coming out of
Egypt- whether we Americans were robbed in the elections or not- this is a far
bigger battle than elections- it is the battle for our very souls now) The real test here for us is what we SPEAK—we shall have whatsoever we SAY!
So why do I encourage us to REPENT and approach Yah’s
throne room with protocol and carefully chosen and humble words? Honestly, loved one, we must have His
provision in all matters now.
After we literally enter His Gates giving
thanks- then we can go deeper by practicing PRAISE to the King of Glory and the
Father!
THIRDLY- PRACTICE PRAISING HIM- we actually practice His
presence as we learn to praise Him---even when no one is around! Actually-
ESPECIALLY when no one is around!
Approaching YHWH and entering His presence! Also realize that if you are in
great warfare- enter His gates (Doorway-
He is the DOOR) giving thanks- remember
the old song- “Count your blessings, count them one by one, count your many
blessings see what YHWH’s done and then PRAISE HIM as demon spirits cannot hang
around and get you down when He is present! Hallelu-YAH!
(Psalms 22:2) O My Elohim, I call by day, but
you do not answer; and by night, but I find no rest. (Psalms
22:3) Yet you are set-apart, Enthroned on the
praises of Yisra’ĕl. (KJV
uses inhabits)
Again we
follow His protocol…Psalms_100:4 Enter into
His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Give thanks
to Him; bless His Name.
Psalms_105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms_106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.
There is
so much to gain in any relationship by humbling ourselves. Will
we complain and murmur at YHWH like Israel did in Egypt- or will we draw near
to Him giving THANKS?
We are made righteous by the blood of THE LAMB of YAHUAH!
Therefore we may receive our family’s (Father’s)
help! Then our immediate families come under His drawing power! Look below:
(Isaiah 49:24)
Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous
delivered? (Isaiah
49:25) Yes- said יהוה, “Even the
captives of the mighty are taken away; and the prey of the ruthless is
delivered. I strive with him who strives with you,
and I save your children. Hey now that’s FAMILY BENEFITS! He contends with our enemies
and delivers and saves our children!
FOURTH- HUNGER AND THIRST FOR HIM AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS!
Say- speak-go ahead- speak it over yourself right now-
say you are Set Apart- Holy—you’ll be surprised at what happens! He will
immediately confirm His promise for you! Speak His word- He commands us to be
Holy as He is Holy- SET APART! Receiving His gifts has been and remains our
goal. Apart from His deliverance there is ZERO chance we will produce any fruit
that remains! His help and gifts He desires for us and has paid the price for
us to receive will help us to walk in His miracle gifts in these days, so let’s
be open- study and receive so we can be used to produce fruit that remains! Of course, you and I can still reject this and continue to wonder
why we walk in no power to help others….please
understand
we will not fool YHWH about our desires here- we must sincerely hunger
for more of Him! Loved One- it is simple- we must draw near, repent,
and
trust Him with His powerful gifts or our testimony will be cut shorter
than it
needs be.
Want
to see Yahusha? Want to be
our Heavenly Creator’s son?
Here’s the thought again, if you are
like me, sometimes I find myself with zero hunger for more of Him--- Is it
because we are Tired, Weary, Lazy, or Overwhelmed? Demonic forces are at work
against us- So here’s the tip: Ask Him to please give you more hunger and
thirst for Him! Then speak scripture like you believe it! He will do it! Look:
Matthew 5:5 “Blessed
are the meek (Humble), because they shall inherit the earth.1 Footnote: 1 Psalms
37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34. Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, 1 because they shall be filled.
Footnote: 1 Isaiah 55:1-2, Matthew 4:4,
John 6:48-51. Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the compassionate, because they shall obtain
compassion. Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the clean (Pure) in heart, 1 because they
shall see Elohim. Footnote: 1 Psalms 24:3-4. Matthew
5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, because
they shall be called sons of Elohim.
We can no longer play religion- nor even
want to; it must now be true RELATIONSHIP!
Note that
we are purified as we bring forth and stay in His word. As we stay in Him we may ask what we wish- and it is GIVEN!
Guaranteed- all we have to do to appropriate it is BELIEVE and ONLY BELIEVE!
John 15:1 “I am the
true vine, and My Father is the gardener. John
15:2 “Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He
takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes, so that it bears more
fruit. John 15:3 “You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.
John 15:4 “Stay in Me,
and I stay in you. As the branch is unable to bear fruit of itself,
unless it stays in the vine, so neither you, unless you stay in Me. John 15:5 “I am the vine, you
are the branches. He who stays in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit. Because
without Me you are able to do naught! John 15:6
“If anyone does not stay in Me, he is thrown away as a
branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and
they are burned. John 15:7 “If you stay in Me, and My Words stay in you, you shall
ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.
WE MAY NOW RECEIVE HIS FAMILY GIFTS- they are for the benefit of others- let’s receive them
and walk in these!
YHWH does NOT want us ignorant concerning spiritual
gifts—let’s not remain ignorant- but study and show ourselves approved- rightly
dividing the Word of Truth! Yahshua has given us His power to trample on snakes
and scorpions (All the demonic realm
opposing us with stormy facts) and to OVERCOME all the power of the enemy! (Luke
10:19)
So let’s read and receive power! Honestly, the more we read and
believe and DO- the more we will be trusted and trust Him that we may DO His
works on the earth. (His word washes us
and purifies us) These are given (NOT
for self-exaltation or our own benefit) for the benefit of others as
the Holy Spirit wills and intends. Nine gifts! Let’s consider carefully who we
ascribe these gifts to. To assign the works of the Ruach to works of hasatan is
called “Blaspheming the Set Apart-Ruach”
and will NOT be forgiven- in this age OR in the age to come! No one can make us
receive these- YOU AND I MUST BE OPEN TO BE USED AND HUNGRY FOR TRUTH! Let’s DRAW NEAR and FEAR NOTHING!
Read
these- submit- and ask for trust for these gifts to help your loved ones (and
others)!
(1 Corinthians 12:1)
And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1
Corinthians 12:2) You know that you were gentiles, 1 led
away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote:
1 Ephesians 2:11, Ephesians 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thessalonian 4:5. (1 Corinthians 12:3)
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of
Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:4) And there are different kinds of gifts, but
the same Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:5) There are different kinds of services, but
the same Master. (1 Corinthians 12:6) And there are different kinds of workings,
but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1
Corinthians 12:7) And to each one
is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, (1 Corinthians 12:8) for to
one is given a word of wisdom
through the Spirit, and to another a word
of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1
Corinthians 12:9) and to another belief-faith- trust by the same
Spirit, and to another gifts of
healing by the same Spirit, (1 Corinthians
12:10) and to another operations of powers, and to
another prophecy, and to
another discerning of spirits,
and to another kinds of unknown
tongues, and to another interpretation
of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:11) But one and the same Spirit works all these,
distributing to each one individually as He intends. (1
Corinthians 12:12) For as the
body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body, so also is the Messiah. (1
Corinthians 12:13) For indeed by
one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks,
whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:14)
For indeed the body is not one member but many. (1
Corinthians 12:15) If the foot
says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore
not belong to the body? (1 Corinthians 12:16) And if the ear says, “Because I am not an
eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1 Corinthians 12:17)
If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all the body
hearing, where would be the smelling? (1 Corinthians
12:18) But now Elohim has set the
members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased. (1 Corinthians 12:19)
And if they all had been one member, where would the body be? (1 Corinthians 12:20)
And now, there are indeed many members, but one body. 1 Corinthians 12:21 And an eye is unable to say to the
hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need
of you.” 1 Corinthians 12:22 But much rather,
those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary. 1 Corinthians 12:23 And to those of the body which we
think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members
have greater seemliness, 1 Corinthians 12:24 whereas
our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body,
having given greater respect to that member which lacks it, 1 Corinthians 12:25 that there should be no division
in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another.
1 Corinthians 12:26 And if one member suffers,
all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members
rejoice with it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 And you
are a body of Messiah, and members individually. 1
Corinthians 12:28 And Elohim has appointed these in the assembly:
firstly emissaries, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
then gifts of healings, helps, ministrations, kinds of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all emissaries? Are all
prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 1 Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do
all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 1
Corinthians 12:31 But earnestly seek the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
Remember-
we can be Torah scholars and DO what we think is all the right way—but IF we do not walk in love –we are only a
clanging cymbal or a sounding brass. How will the King of Glory recognize us as
His own? That we have LOVE
one for another!
The entire
Torah and the Prophets is accomplished in this- (1) That we love our Heavenly Father Yahuah (Yahweh- YHWH) which is willing obedience to the first four
commandments—and (2) We love our neighbor as
ourselves- the last six commandments tell us
how we can accomplish or fulfill that!
We must learn to love! This is how we will be examined before Yahusha allows entry to Heaven...
1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men
and of messengers, but do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a
clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:2 And if I
have prophecy, and know all secrets and all knowledge, and if I have all
belief, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am none at all. 1 Corinthians 13:3 And if I give out all my
possessions to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not
have love, I am not profited at all. 1 Corinthians
13:4 Love is patient, is kind, love does not envy,
love does not boast, is not puffed up, 1
Corinthians 13:5 does not behave indecently, does not seek its
own, is not provoked, reckons not the vile, 1 Corinthians 13:6 does not rejoice over the
unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth, 1
Corinthians 13:7 it covers all, believes all, expects
all, endures all. 1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails. And whether there be
prophecies, they shall be inactive; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge,
it shall be inactive. 1 Corinthians 13:9 For we
know in part and we prophesy in part. 1 Corinthians 13:10
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be
inactive. 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a
child, I spoke as a child; I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child. But
when I became a man, I did away with childish matters. 1
Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to
face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, as I also have been known. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now belief, (Faith-Trust)
expectation, and love remain – these three. But the greatest
of these is love.
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Naso “Accounting/Elevate”
Numbers 4:21-7:89; Judges 13:2-25; 1 Acts 21:17-26
Age 30 starts
ministry service! Just like Yahusha (Yahshua-Jesus) did!
(Numbers 4:21)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers
4:22) “Take a census also of the sons of Gĕreshon, by their fathers’
house, by their clans. (Numbers 4:23) “Register them, from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years
old, all who enter to perform the service, to do the service in the Tent of
Meeting. (Numbers 4:24) “This is the service of the clans of the
Gĕreshonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: (Numbers
4:25) “And they shall bear the
curtains of the Dwelling Place and the Tent of Meeting with its covering, the
covering of fine leather that is on it, the covering for the door of the Tent
of Meeting, (Numbers 4:26) and the screens of the courtyard and the
covering for the door of the gate of the courtyard, which is around the
Dwelling Place and altar, and their cords, all the equipment for their service
and all that is made for them – so shall they serve. (Numbers
4:27) “Aharon and his sons are to
command all the service of the sons of the Gĕreshonites, their entire burden
and all their service. And you shall appoint to them all the duty of their
entire burden. (Numbers 4:28) “This is the service of the clans of the sons
of Gĕreshon in the Tent of Meeting. And let their duties be under the hand of
Ithamar, son of Aharon the priest. (Numbers 4:29) “As for the sons of Merari, register them by
their clans and by their fathers’ house. (Numbers
4:30) “Register them, from thirty
years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do
the work of the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:31) “And this is the duty of their burden,
according to all their service for the Tent of Meeting: the boards of the
Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and its sockets, (Numbers 4:32) and the columns around the courtyard
with their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords, with all their equipment
and all their service. And assign to each by name the equipment of the
duty of their burden. (Numbers 4:33) “This is the service of the clans of the sons
of Merari, as all their service for the Tent of Meeting, under the hand of
Ithamar, son of Aharon the priest.” (Numbers 4:34) So Mosheh and Aharon and the leaders of the
congregation registered the sons of the Qehathites by their clans and by their
fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:35) from thirty years old and above, even to
fifty years old, all who entered the service for work in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:36)
And their registered ones, by their clans, were two thousand seven
hundred and fifty. (Numbers 4:37) These were the registered ones of the clans
of the Qehathites, all those serving in the Tent of Meeting, whom Mosheh and
Aharon registered according to the command of יהוה
by the hand of Mosheh. (Numbers 4:38) And those registered ones of the sons of
Gĕreshon, by their clans and by their fathers’ house, (Numbers
4:39) from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who
entered the service for work in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers
4:40) the registered ones, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, were
two thousand six hundred and thirty. (Numbers 4:41) These were the registered ones of the clans
of the sons of Gĕreshon, of all who serves in the Tent of Meeting, whom Mosheh
and Aharon registered according to the command of יהוה.
(Numbers 4:42)
And those of the clans of the sons of Merari who were registered, by
their clans, by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:43) from
thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who entered the
service for work in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers
4:44) the registered ones, by
their clans were three thousand two hundred. (Numbers
4:45) These were the registered
ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Mosheh and Aharon registered
according to the command of יהוה by the hand of
Mosheh. (Numbers 4:46) All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom
Mosheh and Aharon and the leaders of Yisra’ĕl registered, by their clans and by
their fathers’ houses, (Numbers 4:47) from thirty years old and above, even to
fifty years old, all who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing
burdens in the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 4:48) their registered ones were eight thousand
five hundred and eighty. (Numbers 4:49) According to the command of יהוה they were registered by the hand of Mosheh, each according to
his service and according to his burden, thus were they registered by him, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
Touch no unclean
thing…
(Numbers 5:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:2)
“Command the children of Yisra’ĕl to send out of the camp every leper, and
everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled1
for a being. Footnote: 1 Defilement can be
imparted from one to another. (Numbers 5:3) “Send out both male and female, send them
outside the camp, so that they do not defile their camps in the midst of which
I dwell.” (Numbers 5:4) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so, to send
them outside the camp. As יהוה had spoken to Mosheh,
so the children of Yisra’ĕl did. (Numbers 5:5) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:6) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘When a
man or woman commits any sin that men commit in trespass against יהוה, and that being is guilty, (Numbers
5:7) then they shall confess
their sin which they have done. And he shall restore his guilt in its
principal, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to whom he has been guilty. (Numbers 5:8)
‘But if the man has no relative to restore the guilt to, the guilt which
is restored goes to יהוה, for the priest, in
addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him. (Numbers 5:9)
‘And every contribution of all the set-apart gifts of the
children of Yisra’ĕl, which they bring to the priest, becomes his. (Numbers 5:10)
‘And every man’s set-apart gifts becomes his, whatever any man
gives the priest becomes his.’ ” (Numbers 5:11) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 5:12) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say
to them, ‘When any man’s wife turns aside and has committed a trespass against
him, (Numbers 5:13) and a man has intercourse with her, and it is
hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled
herself, and there was no witness against her, nor was she caught, (Numbers 5:14)
and a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his
wife who has defiled herself, or a spirit
of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife although
she has not defiled herself, (Numbers 5:15) then the man shall bring his wife to the
priest. And he shall bring the offering for her, one-tenth of an ĕphah of
barley flour. He is not to pour oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it
is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing
crookedness to remembrance. (Numbers 5:16) ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and
shall make her stand before יהוה. (Numbers 5:17)
‘And the priest shall take set-apart water in an earthen vessel, and
take some of the dust that is on the floor of the Dwelling Place and put it
into the water.
Yahshua took the
bitter waters and the judgment of DEATH for His adulterous wife- you and me!
(Numbers 5:18) ‘And the priest
shall make the woman stand before יהוה,
and shall uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her
hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, while the priest holds in his
hand the bitter water that brings a curse.
(Numbers 5:19)
‘And the priest shall make her swear, and say to the woman, “If no man
has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness under your
husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.
(Numbers 5:20)
“But if you have turned aside under your husband’s authority, and
if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with
you” – (Numbers 5:21) then the priest shall make the woman swear
with the oath of the curse, and he shall say to the woman – “יהוה make you a curse and an oath among your people, when יהוה makes your thigh waste away and your belly
swell, (Numbers 5:22) and this water that causes the curse shall go
into your inward parts, and make your belly swell and your thigh waste away.”
And the woman shall say, “Amĕn, amĕn.” (Numbers 5:23) ‘And the priest shall write these curses in a
book, and shall wipe them off into the bitter water, (Numbers
5:24) and shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the
curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter. (Numbers 5:25)
‘And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the
woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before יהוה,
and bring it to the altar. (Numbers 5:26) ‘And the priest shall take a hand filled with
the offering, as its remembrance offering, and burn it on the altar, and
afterward make the woman drink the water. (Numbers
5:27) ‘And when he has made her
drink the water, then it shall be, if she has defiled herself and has committed
a trespass against her husband, that the water that brings the curse shall
enter her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall
waste away, and the woman shall become a curse among her people. (Numbers 5:28)
‘But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she shall
be clear and shall conceive children. (Numbers 5:29) ‘This is the Torah of jealousy, when a wife
turns aside under her husband’s authority and defiles herself, (Numbers 5:30)
or when a spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of
his wife. Then he shall make the woman stand before יהוה,
and the priest shall do to her all this Torah. (Numbers
5:31) ‘And the man shall be clear
from crookedness, but the woman bears her crookedness.’ ”
Nazirite Vow and
Aaronic Blessing
(Numbers 6:1)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 6:2)
“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or woman does
separate, by making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה, (Numbers 6:3) he separates himself
from wine and strong drink – he drinks neither vinegar of wine nor vinegar of
strong drink, neither does he drink any grape juice, nor eat grapes or raisins.
(Numbers 6:4)
‘All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of the
grapevine, from seed to skin. (Numbers 6:5) ‘All the days of the vow of his separation a
razor does not come upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he
does separate himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He
shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. (Numbers
6:6) ‘All the days of his
separation to יהוה he does not go near a
dead body. (Numbers 6:7) ‘He does not make himself unclean for his
father, or for his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die,
because his separation to Elohim is on his head. (Numbers
6:8) ‘All the days of his
separation he is set-apart to יהוה. (Numbers 6:9)
‘And when anyone dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he has
defiled the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head on the day of
his cleansing – on the seventh day he shaves it. (Numbers
6:10) ‘And on the eighth day he
brings two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the
Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 6:11) and the priest shall prepare one as a sin
offering and the other as a burnt offering, and shall make atonement for him,
because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall set apart his head
on that day, (Numbers 6:12) and shall separate
to יהוה the days of his separation, and shall
bring a male lamb a year old, as a guilt offering. But the former days are not
counted, because his separation was defiled. (Numbers
6:13) ‘And this is the Torah of
the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are completed, he is brought to
the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 6:14) and he shall bring his offering to יהוה: one male lamb a year old, a perfect one,
as a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a sin
offering, and one ram, a perfect one, as a peace offering, (Numbers 6:15)
and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and
unleavened thin cakes anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their
drink offerings. (Numbers 6:16) ‘And the priest shall bring them before יהוה and prepare his sin offering and his burnt
offering. (Numbers 6:17) ‘And he shall prepare the ram as a peace
offering to יהוה, together with the
basket of unleavened bread. And the priest shall prepare its grain offering and
its drink offering. (Numbers 6:18) ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his
separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair from the
head of his separation and shall put it on the fire which is under the
slaughtering of the peace offering. (Numbers 6:19) ‘And the priest shall take the boiled
shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake from the basket, and one
unleavened thin cake, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has
shaved his hair of separation. (Numbers 6:20) ‘Then the priest shall wave them, a wave
offering before יהוה. It is set-apart for
the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering and besides the thigh of
the contribution. And afterwards the Nazirite shall drink wine.’ (Numbers 6:21)
“This is the Torah of the Nazirite who vows to יהוה
the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is
able to provide. According to the vow which he takes, so he shall do according
to the Torah of his separation.” (Numbers 6:22) And יהוה
spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 6:23) “Speak to Aharon and
his sons, saying, ‘this is how you bless the children of Yisra’ĕl. Say to them:
(Numbers 6:24) “יהוה bless you and guard you; (Numbers 6:25) יהוה make His face
shine upon you, and show favor to you; (Numbers 6:26) יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you
peace.” ’ Footnote:
Verses 24 to 26 is the Priestly Blessing. (Numbers
6:27) “Thus they shall put My Name on the children
of Yisra’ĕl, and I Myself shall bless them.” I placed this Scripture in red because I believe
our High Priest, Yahusha is the word spoken here!
Dedicating the
Altar! OUR ALTARS--Our spirits (hearts), souls and bodies anointed by our
humbled obedience! All offering are only accepted if
they are willing and cost us something…and never our second best. May we be found blameless at His appearing!
(Numbers 7:1)
And it came to be, when Mosheh finished setting up the Dwelling Place,
that he anointed it and set it apart and all its furnishings, as well as the
altar and all its utensils. Thus he anointed
them and set them apart. (Numbers 7:2) And the leaders of Yisra’ĕl, heads of their
fathers’ houses who were the leaders of the tribes and over the ones
registered, drew near, (Numbers 7:3) and they brought their offering before יהוה: six covered
wagons and twelve cattle, a wagon for every two of the leaders, and for each
one a bull. And they brought them near before the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 7:4)
And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 7:5) “Accept these from them, and
they shall be used in doing the service of the Tent of Meeting. And you shall
give them to the Lĕwites, each one according to his service.” (Numbers 7:6)
And Mosheh took the wagons and the cattle, and gave them to the Lĕwites.
(Numbers 7:7)
He gave two wagons and four cattle to the sons of Gĕreshon, according to
their service. (Numbers 7:8) And he gave four wagons and eight cattle to
the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the hand of Ithamar, son
of Aharon the priest. (Numbers 7:9) But to the sons of Qehath he gave none,
because theirs was the service of the set-apart objects, which they bore
on their shoulders. (Numbers 7:10) And the leaders brought the dedication offering
of the altar in the day it was anointed. So the leaders brought their offering
before the altar. (Numbers 7:11) And יהוה
said to Mosheh, “Let them bring their offering, one leader each day, for the
dedication of the altar.” (Numbers 7:12) And the one who brought his offering on the
first day was Naḥshon, son of Amminaḏaḇ, from the tribe of Yehuḏah. (Numbers 7:13)

Nazirite Vow in
Action—Message from I AM-
(Judges 13:2)
And there was a certain man from Tsorʽah,
of the clan of the Danites, whose name was Manowaḥ. And his wife was barren
and had not borne. (Judges 13:3) And a Messenger of יהוה appeared to
the woman and said to her, “See now, you are barren and have not borne, but you
shall conceive, and you shall bear a son. (Judges
13:4) “And now, please guard, and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do
not eat any unclean food. (Judges 13:5) “For look, you are conceiving and bearing a
son. And let no razor come upon his head, for the youth is a Nazirite to Elohim
from the womb on. And he shall begin to save Yisra’ĕl out of the hand of the
Philistines.” (Judges 13:6) And the woman came and spoke to her husband,
saying, “A Man of Elohim came to me, and His appearance was like the appearance
of a Messenger of Elohim, very awesome. But I did not ask Him where He was
from, and He did not declare to me His name. (Judges 13:7) “And He said to me, ‘See, you are conceiving
and bearing a son. And now, drink no wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean food,
for the youth is a Nazirite to Elohim from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”
(Judges 13:8) And Manowaḥ prayed to יהוה, and said, “O יהוה,
please let the Man of Elohim whom you sent come to us again and teach us what
to do for the youth who is to be born.” (Judges 13:9) And Elohim listened to the voice of Manowaḥ,
and the Messenger of Elohim came to the woman again as she was sitting in the
field, but Manowaḥ her husband was not with her. (Judges
13:10) And the woman ran
hurriedly and informed her husband, and said to him, “See, He has appeared to
me, the Man who came to me the other day!” (Judges
13:11) And Manowaḥ arose and
went after his wife, and came to the Man, and he said to Him, “Are You the Man
who spoke to this woman?” And He said, “I am.” (Comment: I believe this messenger may have been Yahusha) (Judges
13:12) And Manowaḥ said, “Now
let your words come true! What is to be the rule for the youth’s life and his
work?” (Judges 13:13) And the Messenger of יהוה
said to Manowaḥ, “Let the woman guard all that I said to her. (Judges 13:14)
“Let her not eat any food that comes from the vine, neither let
her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean food. Let her guard
all that which I have commanded her.” (Judges 13:15) And Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה, “Please let us detain you, and prepare a
young goat for you.” (Judges 13:16) And the Messenger of יהוה
said to Manowaḥ, “Though you detain me, I do not eat your food. But if you
offer a burnt offering, offer it to יהוה.”
For Manowaḥ did not know He was a Messenger of יהוה.
(Judges 13:17)
Then Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה,
“What is your name? When your words come true, then we shall esteem you.” (Judges 13:18)
And the Messenger of יהוה said to him, “Why do
you ask my name, since it is wondrous?” (Judges 13:19) And Manowaḥ took the young goat with the
grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to יהוה.
And He did wondrously while Manowaḥ and his wife looked on. (Judges 13:20)
And it came to be, as the flame went up toward the heavens from the altar
that the Messenger of יהוה went up in the flame
of the altar. And Manowaḥ and his wife were watching, and they fell on their
faces to the ground. (Judges 13:21) And the Messenger of יהוה
did not appear any more to Manowaḥ and his wife. Then Manowaḥ knew that He
was a Messenger of יהוה. (Judges 13:22)
And Manowaḥ said to his wife, “We shall certainly die, because we have
seen Elohim!” (Judges 13:23) But his wife said to him, “If יהוה had been pleased to put us to death, He would not have accepted
a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown
us all this, nor would He have let us hear the like of this!” (Judges 13:24)
So the woman bore a son and called his name Shimshon. And the child
grew, and יהוה blessed him. (Judges
13:25) And the Spirit of יהוה began to move him at Maḥanĕh Dan, between
Tsorʽah and Eshta’ol.
I suspect this is a Nazirite Vow in Action again…
(Act 21:17)
And when we had arrived in Yerushalayim, the brothers received us
gladly. (Act 21:18) And on the following day Sha’ul went in with
us to Yaʽaqoḇ, and all the elders
came. (Act 21:19) And having greeted them, he was relating one
by one what Elohim had done among the gentiles through his service. (Act 21:20)
And when they heard it, they praised the Master. And they said to him,
“You see, brother, how many thousands of Yehuḏim there are who have believed,
and all are ardent for the Torah. (Act 21:21) “And they have been informed about you that
you teach all the Yehuḏim who are among the gentiles to forsake Mosheh, saying
to not circumcise the children nor to walk according to the practices. (Act 21:22)
“What then is it? They shall certainly hear that you have come. (Act 21:23)
“So do this, what we say to you: We have four men who have taken a vow. (Act
21:24) “Take them and be cleansed
with them, and pay their expenses so that they shave their heads. And all shall
know that what they have been informed about you is not so, but that you
yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah. (Act
21:25) “But concerning the
gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and blood,
and what is strangled, and whoring.” 1 Footnote: 1 See 15:20. (Act 21:26)
Then Sha’ul took the men on the next day, and having been cleansed with
them, went into the Set-apart Place to announce the completion of the days of
separation – until the offering should be presented for each one of them.
Loved One,
my prayer for you (and I) is that we humble ourselves by our own free will –
CHOICE- and hunger and thirst for His power to help us help others in the days
ahead- I expect we will have power to OVERCOME all of hell’s schemes—BUT we
must draw near- and Hear and Obey! I pray and expect that we will do exploits
in His name and FEAR NOTHING! Hallelu-Yah! I further pray that you and I DRAW
NEAR in relationship with our coming King as we implement the four actions
shown us today- that we are willing and obedient- confessing our sins and those
of our fathers-( Yes even Fathers in the faith)! Hallelu-YAH!
Shalom to
your home Loved One,
Thurston

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

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
