Shabbat Shalom Loved One! This study is attached for printing and at the website below and click here for the INIQUITIES study for your personal removal of generational traps set by hasatan against you and your blood lineage. Again, some have asked 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 and my answer is repeated at the end of this study!
LOVED ONE, this past few weeks we have looked
at not only our iniquities for those of us who really want removal of the legal
but perhaps unknown demonic traps, schemes, and plans against each of us and
our family blood lines due to INIQUITIES; but also how to rid ourselves of all UNBELIEF—because
frankly loved one, if we will rid ourselves of unbelief and iniquities- ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR US
WHO WILL BELIEVE!
Since I want to add to last week’s study
on prayer and fasting with some learned practices and insights from prayer and
fasting; that as a reminder can help each of us overcome some awkward mistakes
that make fasting and prayer much harder, we will start with reviewing our need
for fasting and prayer. Then we will talk briefly, as an introduction, about REPENTANCE-
which Yahshua promised must happen before He returns—perhaps or likely, there
are some traps set in this area of our walks that we are blinded to.
We will quickly re read these
scriptures for planting this understanding in us, but then we
will look at how we are often defeated in our fasting and prayer by common
mistakes and misunderstandings in our DOING.
Once we really understand prayer and fasting rids
us of our unbelief—no matter what the facts are; we will fast and pray—because ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THE ONE
THAT BELIEVES!
Remember the setting, fame has gone out
all over the land of Israel because Yahshua has sent the 12 out (Then
the 70) and told them to go cast out devils, raise the dead, heal the
sick, freely they have received- freely go give! So they have had marvelous
accomplishments casting out devils. Not only that but then Yahshua takes Kĕpha (Peter, James and John and they witness His
transfiguration with Moses and Elijah) and they are walking back from that
event when Yahshua witnesses the other disciples trying to cast out a devil
from a man’s son. Here’s their report of having authority (Just like we do) over demons:
Luke 10:17 and the seventy
returned with joy, saying, “Master, even the demons are subject to us in Your
Name.” Luke 10:18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan falling out of the heaven as
lightning. Luke 10:19 “See, I give you
the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, (Demonic realm) and over all the power of the enemy,
and none at all shall hurt you. Luke 10:20 “But do not
rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice
because your names have been written in the heavens.”
Now let’s look closer at the chronology
of events… I have highlighted belief and unbelief for us to easily see- THAT ALONE IS THE TOPIC! (Not some mighty demon)
Matthew 17:1 And after six days יהושע took Kĕpha, and Yaʽaqoḇ, and Yoḥanan his brother, and brought
them up on a high mountain by themselves, Matthew 17:2 and He was transformed before them, and His face shone like
the sun, and His garments became as white as the light. Matthew 17:3 and see, Mosheh
and Ěliyahu appeared to them, talking with Him. Matthew
17:4 Matthew and Kĕpha answering, said to יהושע, “Master, it is good for us to be here. If
you wish, let us make here three booths: one for you, one for Mosheh, and one
for Ěliyahu.” 1 Footnote: 1 Mark 9:4. Matthew 17:5 while he was
still speaking, see, and a bright cloud overshadowed them. And see, a voice came
out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight. Hear Him!” Matthew 17:6
and when the taught ones heard, they fell on their
faces and were much afraid. Matthew 17:7
But יהושע came near and touched
them and said, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” Matthew
17:8 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw
no one but יהושע only. Matthew 17:9 and as they were
coming down from the mountain, יהושע commanded them,
saying, “Do not mention the vision to anyone until the Son of Aḏam is raised
from the dead.” Matthew 17:10 And His taught ones asked Him, saying, “Why then do the
scribes say that Ěliyahu has to come first?” Matthew
17:11 and יהושע
answering, said to them, “Ěliyahu is indeed coming first, and shall restore all
matters.1 Footnote: 1 See Mark 9:12 and Acts 3:21. Matthew 17:12 “But I say to
you that Ěliyahu has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to
him whatever they wished. In this way the Son of Aḏam is also about to suffer
by them.” Matthew 17:13 Then the taught ones understood that He had spoken to them
about Yoḥanan the Immerser. Matthew 17:14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him,
kneeling down to Him and saying, Matthew 17:15 “Master, have
compassion on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers badly, for he often
falls into the fire and often into the water. Matthew
17:16 “And I brought him to your taught ones,
but they were unable to heal him.”
Here we see
Yahshua angry because of their UNBELIEF
Matthew 17:17 and יהושע
answering, said, “O generation, unbelieving and perverted, how long shall I be with you? How
long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.” Matthew 17:18 and יהושע rebuked the demon, and he came out of him. And the child was
healed from that hour. Matthew
17:19 Then the taught ones came to יהושע by
Himself and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?” Matthew 17:20 and יהושע said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you have belief as
a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and
it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you. Matthew 17:21 “But this kind does not go out except
through prayer and fasting.”
Let’s look again
for more information from the same time frame in Mark’s Gospel
Mark 9:1 And He said to them, “Truly,
I say to you that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death at
all until they see the reign of Elohim having come in power:”1 Footnote: 1 vv.
2-7. Mark 9:2 and
after six days יהושע took Kĕpha, and Yaʽaqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and led them up on a
high mountain alone by themselves. And He was transformed before them. Mark 9:3 and His
garments became glittering, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer
on earth is able to whiten. Mark 9:4 and there appeared to them Ěliyahu with Mosheh, 1
and they were talking with יהושע. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 17:2-9, Luke 9:28-35, Luke
16:31, John. 5:47, Malachi 4:4-5. Mark 9:5
And Kĕpha responding, said to יהושע,
“Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three booths, one for
you, and one for Mosheh, and one for Ěliyahu,” Mark
9:6 because
he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. Mark 9:7 and there came a
cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is
My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!” Mark 9:8
and suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone
with them, but only יהושע. Mark 9:9 and as they were
coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to relate to anyone what
they saw, till the Son of Aḏam had risen from the dead. Mark 9:10 and they kept this
matter to themselves, debating what the rising from the dead meant. Mark 9:11
And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Ěliyahu has to come
first?” Mark 9:12 And He said to them, “Ěliyahu indeed, having come first,
restores all matters 1.
And how has it been written concerning the Son of
Aḏam, that He is to suffer much and be despised? Footnote: 1 Matthew 17:11, Acts 3:21. Mark 9:13 “But I say to you
that even Ěliyahu has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it has
been written of him.” Mark 9:14 and coming to
the taught ones, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes disputing with
them.
Let’s look again closely at the topic as Yahshua
makes it plain to us.
Mark 9:15 and immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were greatly
astonished, and running near, greeted Him.
Mark 9:16 And He asked the scribes, “What
are you disputing with them?” Mark 9:17 And one of the crowd answering, said, “Teacher, I brought you
my son, who has a dumb spirit. Mark 9:18
“And wherever he seizes him, he throws him down, and he
foams at the mouth, and gnashes his teeth, and he wastes away. And I
spoke to your taught ones that they should cast him out, but they were not
able.” Mark 9:19 And He answered him and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long
shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me.” Mark 9:20 so they brought him
to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into convulsions.
And falling on the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Mark 9:21 And He asked his
father, “How long has he been like this?” And he said, “From childhood, Mark 9:22 and often he has
thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if it is
at all possible for you, have compassion on us and help us.” Mark 9:23 and יהושע said
to him, “If you
are able to believe,
all is possible
to him who believes.” Mark 9:24 and immediately the father of the child cried out and said
with tears, “I believe
Master, and help my unbelief!”
Mark 9:25 and
when יהושע saw
that a crowd came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to
him, “You deaf and dumb spirit, I order you, come out of him, and never again
enter into him!” Mark 9:26 and crying out, and convulsing him much, it came out of him.
And he became as one dead, so that many said that he was dead. Mark 9:27 But יהושע,
taking him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose. Mark 9:28 and when He came into a house, His taught ones asked Him
separately, “Why were we unable to cast him out?” Mark 9:29 And He said to
them, “It is impossible for this kind (OF UNBELIEF) to come out except through prayer and fasting.”
FACTS VERSUS TRUTH
LOVED ONES; what can we learn today from our victories and
failures in prayer? Much in both instances it seems. Since we are family let’s have a
heartfelt talk: sometimes we receive our “breakthrough” from sheer mercy of
Yah; someone somewhere actually “believed”. Father has reminded me again that
no prayer is EVER answered based on NEED. If they were answered based on how
needy we are- frankly Loved One- there would be NO NEED on the planet Earth.
Father told me many years ago that no man on Earth since His man Adam had ever
starved to death that would worship Him unashamedly; although many had starved
to death, they knew not how to worship and give thanks when they saw no
provision. We should all remember a vital point- it requires believing or faith
TO RECEIVE FROM HEAVEN- sometimes we just cannot say “THANK YOU” and believe it
unless we SEE it first. Truthfully, if we can see it- that is Not Trust or
Faith- that is REPORTING the facts. We are told no not walk by the facts-
indeed He reminds us His righteous ones will walk by faith and goes on to
remind us that without our believing (faith)
we cannot possibly please YHWH! Remember our believing (faith) comes by hearing and hearing (At least apart from the gift of faith which is given for others only
as the Ruach wills) Loved One, if we continually see and hear facts (the flesh/sight realm) then we will establish and guarantee our
unbelief. It is important that we rid ourselves of unbelief by fasting and
prayer as the scriptures reveal that effort to be the required method provided
for removal of our unbelief. Remember the topic was never some big demon when
Yahshua taught on belief and unbelief and He spoke- “This
type only goes by fasting and prayer!” We
need to remind ourselves that wrestling is the most “in your face warfare”
there is- and our wrestle with hasatan is to the death and our weapons are not
flesh but are mighty for victory. We only win when we are so assured of His victory for
us in spite of the overwhelming facts and storms against us- when we violently
take it by FORCE and enforce the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Yahshua
guarantees that by speaking these words; (Matthew 11:12) “And from the days of Yoḥanan the Immerser till now the reign of the heavens is violated,
and the violent seize it.1 Footnote:
1 See Luke\. 16:16-17 which explains it more clearly.
Here
are some of the misunderstandings, practices and beliefs that hinder our ridding ourselves of UNBELIEF in our
efforts with prayer and fasting! Remember first;
fasting and prayer is for all believers. Not IF you fast- but WHEN you
fast.
Matthew_6:16 “And when you fast,
do not be sad-faced like the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces so that
they appear to be fasting to men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.
Matthew_6:17 “But you, when you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face,
Matthew_9:14 Then the taught ones of Yoḥanan came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees
fast often, but your
taught ones do not fast?”
Matthew_9:15 and יהושע said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to mourn
as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days shall come when the
bridegroom is taken away from them, and then
they shall fast.
Mark_2:18 and the taught ones of Yoḥanan
and of the Pharisees were fasting. and they came and said to Him, “Why do the
taught ones of Yoḥanan and of the Pharisees fast, but your taught ones do not fast?”
Mark_2:19 and יהושע
said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to fast while the bridegroom
is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able
to fast.
Mark_2:20 “But the days shall come when the
bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
Luke_5:35 “But days shall come when the
bridegroom is taken away from them, then
they shall fast
in those days.”
Seek
the Father about when and how long you are to fast- and pray. Fasting alone
will not produce the fruit you desire or rid yourself of UNBELIEF so that you
have the victories you seek; it is fasting and prayer.
Once
you determine with a peace in your heart what you have heard, accept His word
to you and submit with agreement- then speak as you ask for His help to
complete. Make up your mind to be an
overcomer.
It
is wise to start and finish a shorter fast first and build on your success.
Perhaps 1-3 days is a place to start. Remember that this act of submission and afflicting
yourself puts your spirit man in position to direct—instead of your flesh
directing. The spirit brings life and the flesh brings death, they are in war
with one another for leadership of you.
Make
sure you get your body in position to fast- don’t eat sweets, coffee, etc. for
several days prior to starting a fast- eat greens, salads vegetables, water
melon etc.; otherwise your body will struggle greater removing toxins and such—and
you will have headaches for up to 3 days needlessly. Drink water- and if
possible add lemon or lime juice to keep your PH level alkaline. NO sugar- as
it produces an acidic ph in your body. Your body is the Temple of Yahweh—not your
ruler. Don’t announce to everyone that you are fasting. You may have to tell
those who may cook for you, but ask them to be discrete. You don’t want your reward stolen.
Matthew_6:16 “And when you fast, do not be sad-faced like the hypocrites. For
they disfigure their faces so that they appear to be fasting to men. Truly, I
say to you, they have their reward.
After
you have finished a short fast with victory- give Him thanks and praise for seeing
you to victory and for HIM achieving your prayer requests- whether you SEE IT
yet or not, matters not. Fasting is a way of life, build on your fasts and
determine to go on longer fasts for bigger victories- and EXPECT those
victories. Even if you fail during your fast, don’t give up- repent and ask
Father to help you and grow your will to overcome your flesh man. Don’t condemn
yourself- we are willing and able and we can grow in our victory. Don’t beat
yourself up- resolve to overcome- you are an overcomer- start again and again
if necessary. Expect to be tempted while fasting, Yahshua was tested and
tempted while on a 40 day fast- expect you will too. Everyone will offer you
your favorite meals; just tell them you are not eating, but thanks. RESOLVE
within to OVERCOME.
Now
we will look briefly at our need to REPENT to ever become one who overcomes-
the Bride without spot or blemish, as He changes NOT, and that leaves us to
repent and change into His image. We are crucified in Him- we no longer rule-
live, but He dwells in us- the life we live in the body, we live by faith and
trust in HIM. Speak Galatians 2:20 over your life, you will find that He grows
in you as you submit and allow yourself to become less and allow Him to become
more.
TESHUVAH-
(repent) we are
now required to turn our stiff necks and follow Him and His instructions (Torah).
Here’s what the Ruach demands I teach/remind us
about today. Yah-Chanan- (John the Immerser spoken as Hebrew) means Yah’s Mercy- and what did he come preaching?
REPENT- TESHUVAH as that is the only way to His mercy- Let’s look:
(Matthew 3:1)
And in those days Yoḥanan
the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Yehuḏah, (Matthew 3:2) and saying, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has
come near!” (Matthew 3:3)
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Yeshayahu, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way
of יהוה, make His paths straight.’ ” 1 Footnote:
1 Isaiah 40:3. (Matthew 3:4) And
Yoḥanan had a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle around his waist.
And his food was locusts and wild honey. (Matthew 3:5) Then Yerushalayim, and all Yehuḏah, and all
the country around the Yardĕn went out to him, (Matthew
3:6) and they were immersed by him in the Yardĕn, confessing their sins.
(Matthew 3:7)
And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion,
he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming
wrath? (Matthew 3:8) “Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, (Matthew 3:9) and
do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Aḇraham
as father.’1 for I say to you that Elohim is able to rise up
children to Aḇraham from these stones. Footnote: 1John
8:33-34, Romans. 9:8. (Matthew 3:10) “And
the axe is already laid to the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which does
not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (Matthew 3:11)
“I indeed immerse you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming
after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall
immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit and fire. (Matthew
3:12) “His winnowing fork is in
His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor, and gather His
wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He shall burn with unquenchable fire.”
Why is the Ruach warning us just now was my next
question. Here’s His answer- “many
will be surprised because they have not judged themselves and made themselves
ready- many are still speaking against their brothers and sisters and pointing
the finger at others’ faults but not really looking at themselves and making
themselves ready”. Loved one, I think this applies to every one of us-
as it is so easy to see others faults and think we’re okay… our fruit that we
are commanded to bear cannot be self-exaltation at the expense of someone
else’s character- so much la shan hara (Cursing others and/or blaming others
for our shortcomings) these days and many bearing false witness and out right
lying to make themselves appear righteous. Let’s take a closer look at
ourselves before we must stand in His presence! Should we not cleanse ourselves
now or at least ask our loving Father- Is there anything that will be
burned up as wood, hay, and stubble when I am in your presence- that I
considered gold, silver, and precious? ANYTHING I NEED
TO REPENT OF? Let’s consider carefully and humble ourselves. It
seems that when we think all is well and there is nothing to be repentant
about; we may be deceived by the enemy of our souls.
(James 4:5)
Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose? Does the Spirit
which dwells in us intensely crave unto envy? (James
4:6) But He gives greater favor.
Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the
humble.” (James 4:7) So then subject (submit to His Instructions- receive the engrafted word) yourselves
to Elohim. Resist the devil1 and he
shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or
adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to
you. Cleanse hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9)
Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and
your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Master,
and He shall lift you up. (James 4:11) Brothers, do not speak against one another. He that
speaks against a brother and judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges
Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah but a judge.
(James 4:12)
There
is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to
judge another? (James 4:13) Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow,
let us go to such and such a city, spend a year there, and trade, and make a
profit,” (James 4:14) when you do not know of tomorrow. For what is
your life? For it is a vapor that appears for a little, and then disappears – (James 4:15) instead of your saying, “If the Master
desires, we shall live and do this or that.” (James
4:16) But now you boast in your
proud speeches. All such boasting is wicked. (James
4:17) To him, then, who knows to do good and does
not do it, to him it is sin.
Remember
loved one, we are the last day’s assembly of believers or His body, so it is
quite probable that we have been deceived in certain areas of our lives. Here’s
what He reminded me:
(Revelation 3:13)
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
assemblies.” ’ (Revelation 3:14) “And to the
messenger of the assembly in Laodikeia write, ‘The
Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of
Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1 Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 1:6. (Revelation 3:15)
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would
that you were cold or hot. (Revelation 3:16) “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. (Revelation
3:17) “Because you say, ‘Rich I
am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are
wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and
blind, and naked. (Revelation 3:18) “I advise you to buy
from me gold refined in the fire, 1 (Trust-
belief- faith in spite of what is seen) so that you become rich; and white
garments (Robes of Righteousness that come from DOING the Gospel and OBEDIENCE
to His Instructions-Torah), so that you become dressed, so that the shame
of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with ointment, (Filled with His Ruach which guides us into
all truth) so that you see. Footnote: 1 Psalms
19:10, Psalms 119:72 & 127, Proverbs 30:5. (Revelation
3:19) “As many as I love, I
reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent. (Revelation
3:20) “See, I stand at the door
and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him
and dine with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:21) “To him who
overcomes I shall give to sit with me on my throne, as I also
overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Revelation 3:22) “He, who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
’ ”
Let’s become OVERCOMERS loved one; since His
promise is to those that overcome! Now we turn our hearts to this week’s Torah
Scriptures and receive His BLESSINGS! Hallelu-YAH!
Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Ki Tavo “When You Enter In”
Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8; Isaiah 60:1-22; Romans 11:1-15
First fruits declare to Heaven who is most important to
us- YHWH still hears and sees our tears and afflictions! Note also you and I
are responsible to WHERE our tithe goes- we are not omitted from responsibility
to give where He says- He does not give that responsibility to a religious
organization, but to each of us individually!
(Deuteronomy 26:1) “And it shall be, when you come into the land
which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an
inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, (Deuteronomy
26:2) that you shall take some of the first of all the fruits of the
soil which you bring from your land that יהוה
your Elohim is giving you, and shall put it in a basket and go to the place
where יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell
there. (Deuteronomy 26:3) “And you shall come to the one who is priest
in those days, and say to him, ‘I shall declare today to יהוה
your Elohim that I have come to the land which יהוה
swore to our fathers to give us.’ (Deuteronomy 26:4) “And the priest shall take the basket from
your hand and place it before the altar of יהוה
your Elohim. (Deuteronomy 26:5) “And you shall answer and say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘My father was a perishing
Aramean, and he went down to Mitsrayim and sojourned there with few men. And
there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous. (Deuteronomy
26:6) ‘But the Mitsrites did evil
to us, and afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us. (Deuteronomy
26:7) ‘Then we cried out to יהוה Elohim of our fathers, and יהוה heard our voice and saw our affliction and our toil and our
oppression. (Deuteronomy 26:8) ‘And יהוה
brought us out of Mitsrayim with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm,
with great fear and with signs and wonders. (Deuteronomy
26:9) ‘And He brought us to this
place and has given us this land, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Deuteronomy 26:10)
‘And now, see, I have brought the first-fruits of the land which You, O יהוה, have given me.’ Then you shall place it
before יהוה your Elohim, and bow down before יהוה your Elohim, (Deuteronomy
26:11) and shall rejoice in all
the good which יהוה your Elohim has given
to you and your house, you and the Lĕwite and the stranger who is among you. (Deuteronomy 26:12)
“When
you have completed tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year,
which is the year of tithing, and have given it to the Lĕwite, to the stranger,
to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within
your gates and have been satisfied, (Deuteronomy
26:13) then you shall say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘I have put away the
set-apart portion from my house, and also have given it to the
Lĕwite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according
to all Your command which You have commanded me. I have not transgressed your
commands, nor have I forgotten. (Deuteronomy
26:14) ‘I have not eaten any of
it when in neither mourning, nor have I removed any of it for any unclean use,
nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to all that you have commanded
me. (Deuteronomy 26:15) ‘Look from Your set-apart dwelling place,
from the heavens, and bless Your people Yisra’ĕl and the land which You have
given us, as You swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ (Deuteronomy 26:16) “Today
יהוה your Elohim is commanding you to do these
laws and right-rulings. And you shall guard and do them with all your heart and
with all your being. (Deuteronomy 26:17) “You have today caused יהוה
to proclaim to be your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and
His commands, and His right-rulings, and to obey His voice. (Deuteronomy 26:18)
“And יהוה has caused you to
proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to
you, and to guard all His commands, (Deuteronomy
26:19) so as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a
praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to
יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
Guard them= DO them! Obedience brings blessings and Disobedience guarantees
these curses!
(Deuteronomy 27:1) And Mosheh, with the elders of Yisra’ĕl,
commanded the people, saying, “Guard all the commands which I am commanding
you today. (Deuteronomy 27:2) “And it shall be, on the day when you pass
over the Yardĕn to the land which יהוה your Elohim is
giving you, that you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and plaster them
with plaster, (Deuteronomy 27:3) and write on them all the Words of this
Torah, when you have passed over, so that you go into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, ‘a land
flowing with milk and honey,’ as יהוה
Elohim of your fathers has spoken to you. (Deuteronomy
27:4) “And it shall be, when you
have passed over the Yardĕn, that on Mount Ěyḇal you set up these stones,
which I command you today, and you shall plaster them with plaster, (Deuteronomy 27:5)
and build an altar to יהוה your Elohim there, an
altar of stones – do not use an iron tool on them. (Deuteronomy 27:6)
“Build the altar of יהוה your Elohim with
complete stones and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to יהוה your Elohim, (Deuteronomy 27:7)
and shall offer peace offerings, and eat there, and rejoice before יהוה your Elohim. (Deuteronomy
27:8) “And you shall write all
the Words of this Torah on the stones – plainly and well.” (Deuteronomy 27:9)
And Mosheh and the priests, the Lĕwites, spoke to all Yisra’ĕl, saying,
“Be silent and hear, O Yisra’ĕl: This day you have become the people of יהוה your Elohim,
(Deuteronomy 27:10) and you shall obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim,
and do His commands and His laws which I command you today.” (Deuteronomy 27:11) And Mosheh commanded the people on that day,
saying, (Deuteronomy 27:12) “These are to stand
on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Yardĕn:
Shimʽon, and Lĕwi, and Yehuḏah, and Yissasḵar, and Yosĕph, and Binyamin. (Deuteronomy 27:13)
“And these are to stand on Mount Ěyḇal to curse: Re’uḇĕn, Gaḏ, and
Ashĕr, and Zeḇulun, Dan, and Naphtali. (Deuteronomy
27:14) “And the Lĕwites shall
speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Yisra’ĕl: (Deuteronomy 27:15)
‘Cursed
is the man who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to יהוה, the work of
the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall
answer and say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:16) ‘Cursed is he who
makes light of his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:17) ‘Cursed
is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’

is he who misleads the blind in the way.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’
(Deuteronomy 27:19) ‘Cursed
is he who twists the right-ruling of the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.’
And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy
27:20) ‘Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he has
uncovered his father’s bed.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:21)
‘Cursed is he who lies
with any beast.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy
27:22) ‘Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his
father or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:23)
‘Cursed is he who lies
with his mother-in-law.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:24)
‘Cursed is he who
smites his neighbor secretly.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’ (Deuteronomy 27:25)
‘Cursed is he who
takes a bribe to slay an innocent being.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’

is he who does not establish the Words of this Torah.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amĕn!’

“And you shall be groping at noon, as a blind man gropes in darkness,
and not prosper in your ways. And you shall be only oppressed and plundered all
the days, with no one to save you. (Deuteronomy 28:30) “You become engaged to a wife, but another
man does lie with her. You build a house, but do not dwell in it. You plant a
vineyard, but do not use its fruit. (Deuteronomy
28:31) “Your ox is slaughtered

land, until you are destroyed. They leave you no grain, nor new wine, nor oil,

“And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons
and your daughters whom יהוה your Elohim has given
you, in the siege and distress in which your enemies distress you. (Deuteronomy 28:54)
“The man among you who is tender, and who is very delicate, his eye is
evil against his brother, against the wife of his bosom, and against the rest
of his children whom he leaves behind, (Deuteronomy

this Torah that are written in this book, to fear this esteemed and awesome

“And He shall bring back on you all the diseases of Mitsrayim, of which
you were afraid, and they shall cling to you, (Deuteronomy
28:61) also every sickness and
every plague, which is not written in the book of this Torah, יהוה does bring upon you until you are destroyed. (Deuteronomy 28:62)

as the stars of the heavens, because you did not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim. (Deuteronomy
28:63) “And it shall be that as יהוה rejoiced over you to do you good and
increase you, so יהוה does rejoice over you

before you, and you shall fear day and night, and not be certain of your
life. (Deuteronomy 28:67) “In the morning you say, ‘Oh that it were

(Deuteronomy 29:1) These are the words of the covenant which יהוה commanded Mosheh to make with the children of Yisra’ĕl in the
land of Mo’aḇ, besides the covenant which He made with them in Ḥorĕḇ. (Deuteronomy 29:2)
And Mosheh called all Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “You yourselves saw all
that יהוה did before your eyes in the land of
Mitsrayim, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land. (Deuteronomy 29:3)
“Your eyes saw the great trials, the signs, and those great wonders. (Deuteronomy 29:4)

heart to know and eyes to see and ears to hear, till this day. (Deuteronomy 29:5)

not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. (Deuteronomy 29:6)

“And when you came to this place, Siḥon sovereign of Ḥeshbon and Oḡ
sovereign of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we smote them, (Deuteronomy 29:8)

Darkness must and
will come from our disobedience on Planet Earth, but those of us who TESHUVAH (REPENT AND TURN TO FOLLOW HIM) will be a great
light in vast darkness!
(Isaiah 60:1) “Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the esteem
of יהוה
has risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:2) “For look, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness
the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and
His esteem is seen upon you. (Isaiah 60:3) “And the gentiles shall come to your light 1 and sovereigns to the brightness
of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 60:19,
20, Revelation. 21:23, 24. (Isaiah 60:4) “Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of
them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your
daughters are supported on the side. (Isaiah 60:5) “Then you shall see and be bright, and your
heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the
riches of the gentiles come to you. (Isaiah 60:6) “A stream of camels covers your land, the
dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ĕphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and
incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה.
(Isaiah 60:7)
“All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth
serve you; they come up for acceptance on my altar, and I embellish my esteemed
House. (Isaiah 60:8) “Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like
doves to their windows? (Isaiah 60:9) “Because the coastlands wait for me, and the
ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their
gold with them, to the Name of יהוה your Elohim, and to
the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, because He has adorned you. (Isaiah 60:10)
“And the sons of foreigners shall build your walls, and their sovereigns
serve you. For in my wrath I have smitten you, but in my delight I shall have
compassion on you. (Isaiah 60:11) “And your gates shall be open continually;
they are not shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the gentiles,
and their sovereigns in procession. (Isaiah 60:12) “The nation and the reign that do not serve
you shall perish; and those gentiles shall be utterly laid waste. (Isaiah 60:13)
“The esteem of Leḇanon shall come to you, cypress, pine, and the box
tree together, to embellish the place of my set-apart place. And I shall make
the place of my feet esteemed. (Isaiah 60:14) “And the sons of those who afflicted you come
bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall bow themselves at the soles
of your feet. And they shall call you: City of יהוה,
Tsiyon of the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl. (Isaiah
60:15) “Instead of you being
forsaken and hated, so that no one passes through you, I shall make you an
everlasting excellence, a joy of many generations. (Isaiah
60:16) “And you shall drink dry
the milk of the gentiles, and shall milk the breast of sovereigns. And you
shall know that I, יהוה, your Savior and your
Redeemer, am the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ. (Isaiah 60:17) “Instead of bronze I bring gold, and instead
of iron I bring silver, and bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones.
And I shall make your officers peace, and your magistrate’s righteousness. (Isaiah 60:18)
“Violence shall no longer be heard in your
land, neither wasting nor ruin within your borders. And you shall call your
walls Deliverance, and your gates Praise. (Isaiah
60:19) “No longer is the sun your
light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to
you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness. (Isaiah 60:20)
“No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the
days of your mourning shall be ended. (Isaiah 60:21) “And your people,
all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of my
planting, a work of my hands, to be adorned. (Isaiah
60:22) “The
little shall become a thousand and the small one a strong nation1.
I, יהוה, shall hasten it in its time.” Footnote: 1 See 41:14, Daniel 2:34-44.
(Romans 11:1) I say then, has Elohim rejected His people?
Let it not be! I also am a Yisra’ĕlite, of the seed of Aḇraham,
of the tribe of Binyamin. (Romans 11:2) Elohim has not
rejected His people whom He knew beforehand.1
or do you not know what the Scripture says of Ěliyahu, how he pleads with
Elohim against Yisra’ĕl, saying, Footnote: 1 Psalms
94:14. (Romans 11:3) “יהוה, they have
killed your prophets and overthrown your altars, and I alone am left, and they
seek my life”? (Romans 11:4) But what does the answer of Elohim say
to him? “I have left for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee
to Baʽal.” (Romans 11:5) So therefore also, at this present time a
remnant according to the choice of favor has come to be. (Romans 11:6) And if by favor, it is no longer of works,
otherwise favor is no longer favor. And if it is of works, it is no longer favor;
otherwise work is no longer work. (Romans 11:7) What then? Yisra’ĕl has not obtained what it
seeks, but the chosen did obtain it, and the rest were hardened. (Romans 11:8)
As it has been written, “יהוה has given them a
spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, unto this day.” (Romans 11:9)
Dawiḏ also says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap,
and for a stumbling-block and recompense to them, (Romans
11:10) let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and bow down their back
always.” (Romans 11:11) I say then, have they stumbled that they
should fall? Let it not be! But by their fall deliverance has come to the
gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. (Romans 11:12) And if their fall is riches for the world,
and their failure riches for the gentiles, how much more their completeness! (Romans 11:13)
For I speak to you, the gentiles, inasmuch as I am an emissary to the
gentiles, I esteem my service, (Romans 11:14)
if somehow I might provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save
some of them. (Romans 11:15) For if their casting away is the restoration
to favor of the world, what is their acceptance but life from the dead?
Loved One,
we really do pray YOU make every effort to love the Creator according to His
desires and not our learned ones that are filled with many inherited pagan
ritual both in Churchianity and Judaism. I pray that we may each look inwardly
and turn- yes turn our own stiff necks toward Him and follow Him in loving
obedience- that all the blessings He has planned for us may OVERTAKE US!
I pray you gain an ear to hear Him and
the courage to obey Him! I pray that you draw ever close to our Creator so that
you FEAR NOT no matter what the “kings of the earth” do! He has made provision
for our victory and overcoming- as we choose to remove our iniquities and
unbelief. Further, our overcoming is only achievable by our willingness to
submit and obey in REPENTANCE! We really must decrease and allow, by our
determined choices, for Him to INCREASE in us- the HOPE OF GLORY!
Thanks for
your continued prayers for me- they are still much cherished- and we thank you!
Thank you! And THANK YOU! You are
much loved!
Shalom to
your heart and home loved one!
Thurston
Again, some
have asked 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-
which sometimes means walking alone. I start over annually when YHWH’s year
starts over; this is not to say that I am correct and others are wrong, I just
happen to believe we will never challenge our older brother Judah by following
his traditions. I expect Judah will be moved by our obedience to His Torah
(Words of Scripture) and seeing YHWH’s signs and wonders following our
obedience-
Does the statement above mean we are not to grab
the tzitzit of Yehuda and take hold and learn from them? Of course not, we absolutely should learn of them and from
them- just not ingest and keep that which is traditions that go against His
words! Especially since we are the ten
(Ten scattered northern tribes scattered for Easter and sun god day worship
which parallels closely as a pig slop eating prodigal brother) Let’s look
together; (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 from here forward!) Ten men
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:
1John 4:22.
