Shabbat Shalom Loved One!

Why we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued again at end of this week’s study…

 

Yes we have decided upon becoming TRUTH SEEKERS and OVERCOMERS as we are coming apart from Babylonian paganism as we “Come apart (Out of her) from the whore my people so you take no part of her plagues!” What a reward FROM COMING APART FROM PAGAN PRACTICES AND BECOME His promised covenant people!

 

(Ezekiel 37:23)  “And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their disgusting matters, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be my people, and I am their Elohim, (Ezekiel 37:24) while Dawiḏ my servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in my right-rulings and guard my laws, and shall do them. (Ezekiel 37:25)  “And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, forever, and my servant Dawiḏ be their prince forever. (Ezekiel 37:26)  “And I shall make a covenant of peace with them – an everlasting covenant it is with them. And I shall place them and increase them, and shall place my set-apart place in their midst, forever. Ezekiel 37:27) “And My Dwelling Place shall be over them. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. (Ezekiel 37:28)  “And the gentiles shall know that I, יהוה, am setting Yisra’ĕl apart, when my set-apart place is in their midst – forever.” ’ ”

 

Mark 12:29 and יהושע answered him, “The first of all the commands is, ‘Hear, O Yisra’ĕl, יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one. Mark 12:30 ‘And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with your entire mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command. Mark 12:31 “And the second, like it, is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other command greater than these.”

 

I am concerned for us Loved One, because it is so easy- even probable that we= or at least many of us- are missing these two key points given us as warning by Yahshua- which are not based on our intellect at all- buy unarguably about our relationships with Yahweh (God) and man.

 

The traps and rabbit holes are set by our main enemies- our flesh men within us who often rule us, and hasatan. This walk must become a walk of love for Yahweh and others- not about serving and lifting up ourselves, or getting everyone to agree with us- that is the Ruach Ha Kodesh role and His alone! We may plant and water- but He brings the increase or there is no increase in the matter!

 

My goal again today is to remove endless debates and quarrels from all of us- yes Midrash is good- but demanding others agree with us- is not! You and I will never convince anyone of our ideal this way- as we all know a man convinced against his will- is of the same opinion still. That can never be our goal- and frankly, if someone who has heard or learned from the Spirit of Yahweh- you would indeed be foolish to try and convince him or her otherwise. Sometimes our endless studies and never able to come to the truth is distraction by our flesh man or hasatan. LOVE DOES NOT DEMAND ITS OWN WAY!

 

1 Timothy 1:4 neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies (Rabbit holes with never an answer), which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1 Timothy 1:5  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 1 Timothy 1:6  >From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 1 Timothy 1:7  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

 

Unity of the brethren is desired above all– (But not at the loss of truth) but that only comes from more of His Spirit and less of us and our own stubborn minds; not endless debates and demands, loved one, as I read Psalm 133 and Ephesians 4 it became clear- we do not know it all and we must learn to walk in His love, wisdom, and compassion.

 

Psalm 133:1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity –

 

So, how can we be in unity?  How do we suppose to get on track to love Yahweh and man? I suppose we MUST get our revelation from the Ruach Ha Kodesh as delivered by our Heavenly Father- we must study and rightly divide- but THEN TRUTH, WHICH ALONE CAN BRING UNITY MUST COME FROM REVEALING BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER- NOT ENDLESS QUARRELS AND DEBATE! Here is our question and here is our unity source- the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM- His revealing to us as we pray in the Ruach- fast and pray in some matters- as we diligently seek Him and His truth.

 

 

Matthew 16:13  Now when יהושע came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Aḏam is?” Matthew 16:14 And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.” Matthew 16:15 He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?” Matthew 16:16 And Shimʽon Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.” Matthew 16:17  And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shimʽon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.

 

Matthew 16:18 “And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock (Revelation given by the Father as we seek TRUTH) I shall build my assembly, and the gates of the grave shall not overcome it. Matthew 16:19 “And I shall give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind ¹ on earth shall be having been bound¹ in the heavens, and whatever you loosen ¹ on earth shall be having been loosened¹ in the heavens.” Footnote: ¹ Binding and loosening is Heḇrew idiom for exercising authority (to prohibit and permit).

 

We must learn to major on what is major to Yahweh- RELATIONSHIPS! Not waste our efforts on endless questions with never coming to the truth – some matters He reveals and others remain secret. But what He does REVEAL (Even mysteries and Keys to the Kingdom) is for us and our sons and daughters!

 

Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to Elohim who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:8 “Futility! Futility!” said the Qoheleth, “All is futile.” Ecclesiastes 12:9  And besides being wise, Qoheleth also taught the people knowledge, and he listened and sought out – set in order many proverbs. Ecclesiastes 12:10 Qoheleth sought to find out words of delight, and words of truth, rightly written. Ecclesiastes 2:11 The words of the wise are like goads, and as nails driven by the masters of collections – they were given by one Shepherd. Ecclesiastes 12:12 and besides these, my son, be warned – the making of many books has no end, and much study is a wearying of the flesh.

 

Ecclesiastes 12:13 let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear (Honor and hold in high esteem) Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! Ecclesiastes 12:14 For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.

 

A short review is important- so here goes.

 

I mentioned last week that several years ago a dear friend asked for prayer of reconciliation among family. Another friend and I agreed to pray this. After our prayer, I heard a strong word from Heaven-Loved One; and this was the promise guaranteed by our merciful Creator: “There is no reconciliation apart from repentance.” That’s why Yahchanan name (John the Baptist) means Yah’s mercy (Yah Chanan) in Hebrew. He came teaching us to REPENT! Show forth fruit worthy of repentance. In our anger, we sin not- we don’t let the Sun go down on our anger!

 

We must allow no bitter root as YHWH alone is the Law Giver and Judge, so we release them completely to His judging. Bitter roots grow and defile us- TAKE NO OFFENSE-

 

Forgive even if they did evil against you- we pray for those that hate us and do us evil and bless those that curse us- that keeps some of us pretty busy blessing them! It is about us turning our stiff necks and obeying Him with action. We must forgive, love and be forgiven as we are all imperfect; so let’s be sure we do our part to forgive, repent of our transgressions against others and our Elohim. Sinners always have their courage removed- they will not be allowed to even look you in the eyes; frankly YHWH removes His presence as we disobey Him. We are required to repent and turn and FOLLOW HIM! Understand if we will not obey Him from a heart of love we will be fearful, full of anxiety and hopeless- which renders FEAR!

Yahshua is the Baptizer in the Ruach HaKodesh!

 

(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: ¹See 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 (Baptizes- Mikveh) in the Set-apart Spirit.’

 

 

Note below these were already believers and afterward could receive His Spirit!

 

(John 7:37)  And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me, and let him who believes in me drink. (John 7:38)  “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.” ¹ Footnote: ¹ Isaiah 44:3, Jeremiah 2:13, Jeremiah 17:13, Zechariah 14:8, Psalms 36:8, 9, Proverbs 14:27, John 4:10, John 6:63, 1 Corinthians 10:4, Revelation 7:17, Revelation 21:6, Revelation 22:1 & 17. (John 7:39)  And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given, ¹ because יהושע was not yet esteemed. Footnote: ¹ Ezekiel 36:26-27, Joel 2:28-32, Acts 1:4-8, Acts 2:4 & 33, Acts 10:44-47, Acts 11:15-16, Ephesians 5:18.

 

 

Concerning the wonderful gift of praying in the Spirit to overcome; Yahshua showed me something many years ago with the following analogy He spoke to me; “Son, those who can read books and never do have no advantage over the person who CANNOT read; likewise those who can pray in the Spirit and do not, have NO ADVANTAGE over the heathen who CANNOT!” 

 

Practice building up your trust-belief-faith and walk in love by DOING this Gospel!

 

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.

 

A review of YHWH’s 9 Supernatural Gifts available to believers as the Ruach HaKodesh wills for the benefit of all: 1 Corinthians Chapter 12- Understand you will need all His gifts to produce the fruit you were created for as we move rapidly into Jacob’s Trouble. As you spend time reading and understanding, you will be trusted with more of His gifts to benefit others.

 

Our walk is all about Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration. Moses represents TRUTH –TORAH and Elijah represents SPIRIT!

 

We will walk by the Ruach HaKodesh and demonstrate His power in these days OR we will not walk long! He has provided the means to produce fruit that will remain!

 

(1 Corinthians 2:1)  And, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with excellence of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the witness of Elohim. (1 Corinthians 2:2)  For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and Him impaled. (1 Corinthians 2:3)  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. (1 Corinthians 2:4)  And my word and my preaching were not with persuasive words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, (1 Corinthians 2:5) in order that your belief should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of Elohim.

   

There are nine fruits of the spirit; Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self control. These fruits are produced as we allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us and also there are nine gifts.

 

The nine gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh are prophecy, tongues, and interpretation of tongues which enables us to talk like YHWH. The word of knowledge the word of wisdom and the discerning of spirits that enables us to think like YHWH; then faith, healing and miracles which enable us to act like YHWH.

 

Hasatan’s lie- the gifts are done away with- no need for them now- He doesn’t love you that much!

 

Some religious people say that the fruits are what we are to seek and the gifts have finished. Really- do we really even consider this unbiblical precept? Are they saying He has changed? Surely not- He changes NOT and He is no respecter of persons- however- He watches over His word to perform it- therefore some will benefit greater than others---all based on our willingness to submit and obey! Growing and maturing are important for character building- and yes we must work to develop our fruits- but we should never reject His gifts. He knows we need them to overcome a supernatural enemy that desires to kill you and your loved ones- we must be overcomers!

 

Others say that as long as a person is gifted and anointed their character and behavior is secondary. YHWH has adventures for us to do the impossible. Let's remember most of what is expected in the believer’s life is impossible.  But with YHWH all things are possible to him that believes. In fact even the Torah life is impossible to live and there was only one that could live it; Yahshua, so let Him live is life in you. Say this with me:

 

Galatians  2:20  “I have been impaled (Crucified) with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me.¹ And that which I now live in the flesh I live by belief in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Footnote: ¹ Romans 8:10, 2 Corinthians 6:16, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 4:4.

 

 

WE NEED HIS GIFTS~ HE MADE THESE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO REALIZE WE NEED HIS HELP!

As we read and understand and make ourselves available to walk in His 9 spiritual gifts they are appropriated for the benefit of others! Gifts are to help us be who we are supposed to be- helping others.

 

(1 Corinthians 12:1)  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. (Ignorant) (1 Corinthians 12:2)  You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. (1 Corinthians 12:3)  Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of Elohim ever says "Yahshua is accursed!" and no one can say "Yahshua is Master" except in the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:4)  Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; (1 Corinthians 12:5) and there are varieties of service, but the same Master; (1 Corinthians 12:6) and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same Elohim who empowers them all in everyone. (1 Corinthians 12:7)  To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12:8)  For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance (Word) of wisdom, and to another the utterance (Word) of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1 Corinthians 12:9) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, (1 Corinthians 12:10) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between (Discerning) spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:11)  All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as He wills. (1 Corinthians 12:12)  For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Messiah. (1 Corinthians 12:13)  For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Yehudans or Goyim, (Scattered Tribes of Ephraim) slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

 

Loved One- ALSO PLEASE CONSIDER: Jacob’s Trouble is OUR TROUBLE AND TESTS! (And we are learning we can overcome all plans of hell!)

 

(Not the Jews only trouble-ALL Israel- especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the earth. What is it that you and I desire to accomplish in our short time here on Planet Earth? Is it fame, wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more lasting…say eternal?

 

 What is worthy of our life’s mission and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives to be broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments burned up leaving nothing but ash? Will we SEEK Him and His rewards? Only if we awaken from our slumber- the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches.

 

Matthew 21:44 “And he who falls on this stone (The Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, ¹ but on whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote: ¹ Romans 8:10 & 13, Colossians 3:5.

 

(Deuteronomy 30:19) “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”

 

WE COULD START HERE! Forgiveness---anyone YOU and I need to forgive still? We must get rid of unbelief and lack of forgiveness blocks that process! Let’s release all offense to YHWH- who alone is capable of being the JUDGE! We bless those that curse us and pray for those that do all manner of evil against us! We release them that offend and it actually releases us! HalleluYAH!

 

I have just been reminded to warn us about this issue- FORGIVING OFFENSES it is essential for our individual break thru so necessary today

 (Hebrews 3:7) Therefore, as the Set-apart Spirit says, “Today, if you hear His voice, (Hebrews 3:8)  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, (Hebrews 3:9)  where your fathers tried me, proved me, and saw My works forty years. (Hebrews 3:10)  “Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.’ (Hebrews 3:11)  “As I swore in my wrath, ‘If they shall enter into my rest...’ ”¹ Footnote: ¹ Psalms 95:7-11. (Hebrews 3:12)  Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, (Hebrews 3:13)  but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness of sin. (Hebrews 3:14)  For we have become partakers of Messiah if we hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end, (Hebrews 3:15) while it is said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (Hebrews 3:16)  For whom, having heard, rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Mitsrayim, led by Mosheh? (Hebrews 3:17)  And with who was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? (Hebrews 3:18)  And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who did not obey? (Hebrews 3:19)  So we see that they were unable to enter in because of unbelief.

 

Here’s why forgiveness is NECESSARY and why we MUST humble ourselves and submit to YHWH!

 

(Matthew 6:9)   “This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, (Matthew 6:10)   let your reign come, let your desire (will) be done on earth as it is in heaven.  (Matthew 6:11)  ‘Give us today our daily bread. (Provision)  (Matthew 6:12)    ‘And forgive us our debts, ***as we forgive our debtors. *** (Matthew 6:13)    ‘And do not lead us into trial, ¹ but deliver us from the wicked one – because yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: ¹ See 26:41. (Matthew 6:14)    “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you. (Matthew 6:15)  “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your trespasses.

Why is it so important that you and I overcome our fears and trials?

 

(Revelation 21:7)  He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:8)  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

We are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…

 

Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2 Timothy 1:7)  For Elohim has not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear), but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).

 

Again, I encourage you again to please consider YHWH’s POWER TWINS for overcoming fear and the schemes of our enemy. Again, remember all things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they aren’t for you and I is UNBELIEF!

 

I continue to teach- unbelief or belief is the real TOPIC in the Scriptures spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according to Yahshua- are YHWH’S POWER TWINS! If we really want our prayers answered we must be willing to do YHWH’s requirements. If we really care about our loved ones we will seek YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in Revelation to throw the fearful (worriers) into hell with the adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we become under great fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and me?  NOT IF we pray and fast and overcome! So let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it!  Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebrews or Hebrews thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR AND OBEY!  Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove our unbelief!

 

We’ve often discussed: WE NEED HIS POWER TO OVERCOM! WE MUST GROW UP SPIRITUALLY INTO OVERCOMERS!

 

Remember also the importance of not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! We considered the power of our words agreeing with Him and how intimacy in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the praises of His people and being filled with His Ruach! (Proverbs 18:21)   Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit!

 

Here’s our prayer that Yah suggests for us to make below- Our Words direct us! Start today hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily! Use this prayer!

 

(Luke 21:36)  You watch you therefore and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Of course the goal would be to stand unashamed before Yahshua having produced fruit that will remain!

 

Let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:

This week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayagash “And he drew near”

Genesis 44:18- 47:27; Bonus- Ezekiel 37:1-14; Ezekiel 37:15-28; Luke 6:9-16

 

 

Shadow Picture- Hardship and famine brings forth intimacy in prayer and US changing!

 

(Genesis 44:18)  And Yehuḏah came near to him and said, “O my master, please let your servant speak a word in my master’s hearing, and do not let your displeasure burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh. (Genesis 44:19)  “My master asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father or a brother?’ (Genesis 44:20)  “And we said to my master, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a young child of his old age and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’ (Genesis 44:21)  “And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, and let me set my eyes on him.’ (Genesis 44:22)  “And we said to my master, ‘The boy is not able to leave his father, for if he leaves his father, his father shall die.’ (Genesis 44:23)  “But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you do not see my face again.’ (Genesis 44:24)  “And it came to be, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my master. (Genesis 44:25)  “And our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.’ (Genesis 44:26)  “But we said, ‘We are not able to go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we shall go down, for we are not able to see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’ (Genesis 44:27)  “Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons, (Genesis 44:28) and the one went out from me, and I said, “Truly, he is torn, torn to pieces!” And I have not seen him since. (Genesis 44:29)  ‘And if you take this one from me too, and harm comes to him, you shall bring down my grey hair with evil to the grave.’ (Genesis 44:30)  “And now, if I come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us – since his own life is bound up in his life – (Genesis 44:31)  then it shall be, when he sees that the boy is not with us, that he shall die. So your servants shall bring down the grey hair of your servant our father with evil to the grave. (Genesis 44:32)  “For your servant went guaranty for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall be a sinner before my father forever.’ (Genesis 44:33)  “And now, please let your servant remain instead of the boy as a slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his brothers. (Genesis 44:34)  “For how do I go up to my father if the boy is not with me, lest I see the evil that would come upon my father?”

 

Homecoming and RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS!

 

(Genesis 45:1)  And Yosĕph was unable to restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he called out, “Have everyone go out from me!” So no one stood with him while Yosĕph made himself known to his brothers. (Genesis 45:2)  And he wept aloud, and the Mitsrites and the house of Pharaoh heard it. (Genesis 45:3)  And Yosĕph said to his brothers, “I am Yosĕph, is my father still alive?” But his brothers were unable to answer him, for they trembled before him. (Genesis 45:4)  Then Yosĕph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” And when they came near, he said, “I am Yosĕph your brother, whom you sold into Mitsrayim. (Genesis 45:5)  “And now, do not be grieved nor displeased with yourselves because you sold me here, for Elohim sent me before you to preserve life. (Genesis 45:6)  “For two years now the scarcity of food has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there is neither plowing nor harvesting. (Genesis 45:7)  “And Elohim sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you by a great escape. (Genesis 45:8)  “So then, you did not send me here, but Elohim. And He has set me for a father to Pharaoh, and master of his entire house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 45:9)  “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Yosĕph, “Elohim has made me master of all Mitsrayim. Come down to me, do not delay. (Genesis 45:10)  “And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. (Genesis 45:11)  “And I shall provide for you there, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty, because five years of scarcity of food are still to come.” ’ (Genesis 45:12) “And look, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Binyamin see that it is my mouth that speaks to you. (Genesis 45:13)  “And you shall inform my father of all my esteem in Mitsrayim, and of all that you have seen. And you shall hurry and bring my father down here.” (Genesis 45:14)  And he fell on his brother Binyamin’s neck and wept, and Binyamin wept on his neck. (Genesis 45:15)  And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers spoke with him. (Genesis 45:16)  And the report of it was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Yosĕph have come.” And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. (Genesis 45:17)  And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your beasts and go, enter the land of Kenaʽan, (Genesis 45:18)  and take your father and your households and come to me, and I give you the best of the land of Mitsrayim, and you eat the fat of the land. (Genesis 45:19)  ‘And you, you have been commanded, do these: Take wagons out of the land of Mitsrayim for your little ones and your wives. And you shall bring your father, and come. (Genesis 45:20)  ‘And do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Mitsrayim is yours.’ ” (Genesis 45:21) And the sons of Yisra’ĕl did so. And Yosĕph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them food for the journey. (Genesis 45:22)  He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments, but to Binyamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments. (Genesis 45:23)  And he sent to his father this: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Mitsrayim, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, and bread, and food for his father for the journey. (Genesis 45:24)  So he sent his brothers away, and they left. And he said to them, “Do not quarrel along the way.” (Genesis 45:25)  And they went up out of Mitsrayim, and came to the land of Kenaʽan to Yaʽaqoḇ their father. (Genesis 45:26)  And they told him, saying, “Yosĕph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Mitsrayim.” And Yaʽaqoḇ’s heart ceased, for he did not believe them. (Genesis 45:27)  But when they spoke to him all the words which Yosĕph had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons which Yosĕph had sent to transport him, the spirit of Yaʽaqoḇ their father revived.  (Genesis 45:28)  And Yisra’ĕl said, “Enough! My son Yosĕph is still alive. Let me go and see him before I die.”

 

Hearing Torah (Instructions) from Heaven- Hear and OBEY!

 

(Genesis 46:1)  And Yisra’ĕl set out with all that he had, and came to Be’ĕrsheḇa, and brought offerings to the Elohim of his father Yitsḥaq. (Genesis 46:2)  And Elohim spoke to Yisra’ĕl in the visions of the night, and said, “Yaʽaqoḇ, Yaʽaqoḇ!” And he said, “Here I am.” (Genesis 46:3)  And He said, “I am the Ěl, Elohim of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Mitsrayim, for I shall make you there into a great nation. (Genesis 46:4)  “I myself am going down with you to Mitsrayim and I myself shall certainly bring you up again. And let Yosĕph put his hand on your eyes.” (Genesis 46:5)  And Yaʽaqoḇ rose up from Be’ĕrsheḇa. And the sons of Yisra’ĕl brought their father Yaʽaqoḇ, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to transport him. (Genesis 46:6)  And they took their livestock and their property which they had acquired in the land of Kenaʽan, and came into Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ and all his seed with him. (Genesis 46:7)  His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed he brought with him to Mitsrayim. (Genesis 46:8)  And these were the names of the children of Yisra’ĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ and his sons, who came into Mitsrayim: Re’uḇĕn was Yaʽaqoḇ’s first-born. (Genesis 46:9)  And the sons of Re’uḇĕn: Ḥanoḵ, and Pallu, and Ḥetsron, and Karmi. (Genesis 46:10)  And the sons of Shimʽon: Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin, and Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul, son of a Kenaʽanite woman. (Genesis 46:11)  And the sons of Lĕwi: Gĕreshon, Qehath, and Merari. (Genesis 46:12)  And the sons of Yehuḏah: Ěr, and Onan, and Shĕlah, and Perets, and Zeraḥ – but Ěr and Onan died in the land of Kenaʽan. And the sons of Perets were Ḥetsron and Ḥamul. (Genesis 46:13)  And the sons of Yissasḵar: Tola, and Puwʽah, and Yoḇ, and Shimron. (Genesis 46:14)  And the sons of Zeḇulun: Sereḏ, and Ělon, and Yaḥle’ĕl. (Genesis 46:15)  These were the sons of Lĕ’ah, whom she bore to Yaʽaqoḇ in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the beings, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three. (Genesis 46:16)  And the sons of Gaḏ: Tsiphyon and Ḥaggi, Shuni and Etsbon, Ěri and Aroḏi, and Arĕli. (Genesis 46:17)  And the sons of Ashĕr: Yimnah, and Yishwah, and Yishwi, and Beriʽah, and Seraḥ, their sister. And the sons of Beriʽah: Ḥeḇer and Malki’ĕl. (Genesis 46:18)  These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laḇan gave to Lĕ’ah his daughter. And these she bore to Yaʽaqoḇ: sixteen beings. (Genesis 46:19)  The sons of Raḥĕl, Yaʽaqoḇ’s wife: Yosĕph and Binyamin. (Genesis 46:20)  And to Yosĕph in the land of Mitsrayim were born Menashsheh and Ephrayim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Genesis 46:21)  And the sons of Binyamin: Belah, and Beḵer, and Ashbĕl, Gĕra and Naʽaman, Ěḥi and Rosh, Muppim and Ḥuppim, and Ard. (Genesis 46:22)  These were the sons of Raḥĕl who were born to Yaʽaqoḇ: fourteen beings in all. (Genesis 46:23)  And the son of Dan: Ḥushim. (Genesis 46:24)  And the sons of Naphtali: Yaḥtse’ĕl, and Guni, and Yĕtser, and Shillĕm. (Genesis 46:25)  These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laḇan gave to Raḥĕl his daughter, and she bore these to Yaʽaqoḇ: seven beings in all. (Genesis 46:26)  All the beings that went with Yaʽaqoḇ to Mitsrayim, who came from his body, besides Yaʽaqoḇ’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six beings in all. (Genesis 46:27)  And the sons of Yosĕph who were born to him in Mitsrayim were two beings. All the beings of the house of Yaʽaqoḇ who went to Mitsrayim were seventy. (Genesis 46:28)  And he sent Yehuḏah before him to Yosĕph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen. (Genesis 46:29)  And Yosĕph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Yisra’ĕl. And he appeared to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a long time. (Genesis 46:30)  And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.” (Genesis 46:31)  And Yosĕph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I am going up to inform Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Kenaʽan, have come to me. (Genesis 46:32)  ‘And the men are shepherds, that they have been men of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds, and all that they have.’ (Genesis 46:33)  “And it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, ‘What is your occupation?’ (Genesis 46:34) that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been men of livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ so that you dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Mitsrites.”

 

RETURN!

 (Genesis 47:1)  Then Yosĕph went and spoke to Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Kenaʽan. And see, they are in the land of Goshen.” (Genesis 47:2)  And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh. (Genesis 47:3)  And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.” (Genesis 47:4)  And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to dwell in the land, because there is no pasture for your servant’s flocks, for the scarcity of food is severe in the land of Kenaʽan. And now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.” (Genesis 47:5)  And Pharaoh spoke to Yosĕph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. (Genesis 47:6)  “The land of Mitsrayim is before you. Settle your father and brothers in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of capable men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.” (Genesis 47:7)  And Yosĕph brought in his father Yaʽaqoḇ and set him before Pharaoh. And Yaʽaqoḇ blessed Pharaoh. (Genesis 47:8)  And Pharaoh said to Yaʽaqoḇ, “How old are you?” (Genesis 47:9)  And Yaʽaqoḇ said to Pharaoh, “The days and the years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning’s.” (Genesis 47:10)  And Yaʽaqoḇ blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. (Genesis 47:11)  So Yosĕph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Mitsrayim, in the best of the land, in the land of Raʽmeses, as Pharaoh had commanded.  (Genesis 47:12)  And Yosĕph provided his father, and his brothers, and his entire father’s household with bread for the mouth of the little ones.

 

Scarcity will also allow us restoration and intimacy with our Father.

 

(Genesis 47:13)  Now there was no bread in all the land, because the scarcity of food was very severe, and the land of Mitsrayim and all the land of Kenaʽan became exhausted from the scarcity of food. (Genesis 47:14)  And Yosĕph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Mitsrayim and in the land of Kenaʽan, for the grain which they bought. And Yosĕph brought the silver into Pharaoh’s house. (Genesis 47:15)  And when the silver was all spent in the land of Mitsrayim and in the land of Kenaʽan, all the Mitsrites came to Yosĕph and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the silver is gone!” (Genesis 47:16)  And Yosĕph said, “Give your livestock, and I give you bread for your livestock, if the silver is gone.” (Genesis 47:17)  So they brought their livestock to Yosĕph, and Yosĕph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks they owned, and for the herds they owned, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year. (Genesis 47:18)  And when that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We do not hide from my master that our silver is all spent, and my master also has the livestock we owned. There has not any been left before my master but our bodies and our lands. (Genesis 47:19)  “Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and let us and our land be servants of Pharaoh. And give us seed, and let us live and not die, and let the land not lie waste.” (Genesis 47:20)  And Yosĕph bought the entire land of Mitsrayim for Pharaoh, because every man of the Mitsrites sold his field, because the scarcity of food was severe upon them. And the land came to be Pharaoh’s. (Genesis 47:21)  And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Mitsrayim to the other end. (Genesis 47:22)  Only the ground of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had portions allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portions which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their ground. (Genesis 47:23)  And Yosĕph said to the people, “Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. (Genesis 47:24)  “And it shall be that in the harvest you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. And four-fifths is your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones.” (Genesis 47:25)  And they said, “You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the eyes of my master, and we shall become Pharaoh’s servants.” (Genesis 47:26)  And Yosĕph made it a law over the land of Mitsrayim to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the ground of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh’s. (Genesis 47:27)  And Yisra’ĕl dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim, in the land of Goshen. And they had possessions there and bore fruit and increased exceedingly.

 

We ARE the DRY BONES coming to life here! He really will bring us back to His land of Promise- ISRAEL!

 

(Ezekiel 37:1)  The hand of יהוה was upon me and took me out by the Spirit of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the valley. And it was filled with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2)  And He made me pass among them, all around, and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see, they were very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3)  And He said to me, “Son of man, would these bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה, you know.” (Ezekiel 37:4)  Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and you shall say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5)  ‘Thus said the Master יהוה to these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6)  “And I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you with skin and put a spirit in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am יהוה.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 37:7) and I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and there was a rattling. And the bones came together, bone to bone. (Ezekiel 37:8)  And I looked and saw sinews and flesh came upon them, and skin covered them, but there was no spirit in them. (Ezekiel 37:9)  He then said to me, “Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and you shall say to the spirit, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, so that they live.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 37:10) and I prophesied as He commanded me, and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, a very great army. (Ezekiel 37:11)  And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See, they say, ‘Our bones are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we ourselves have been cut off!’ (Ezekiel 37:12)  “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O My people, I am opening your graves, and shall bring you up from your graves, and shall bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 37:13)  “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from your graves. (Ezekiel 37:14)  “And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’ ”

 

Restoration of the ten Northern Tribes that appear like pagan sun god worshippers (Ephraim- Joseph of Egyptians youngest who was prophesied to be a mighty multitude at the end of days- Yep- that’s us!) restored to Judah, Levi ad parts of Benjamin to become the end time witnesses of Revelation- YEP- ALL OF US will be used in His hands!

 

(Ezekiel 37:15) And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, (Ezekiel 37:16) “And you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it, ‘For Yehuḏah and for the children of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosĕph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for all the house of Yisra’ĕl, his companions.’ (Ezekiel 37:17)  “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand. (Ezekiel 37:18)  “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’ (Ezekiel 37:19) say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Yehuḏah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.” ’ (Ezekiel 37:20) “And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. (Ezekiel 37:21)  “And speak to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I am taking the children of Yisra’ĕl from among the gentiles, wherever they have gone (Comment: Can we say scattered?), and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land. (Ezekiel 37:22)  “And I shall make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’ĕl. And one sovereign shall be sovereign over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns.

 

Hallelu-Yah- Shabbat was truly made for man’s benefit (All Torah is) and man was not made for Shabbat!

 

(Luke 6:9)  Then יהושע said to them, “I ask you, is it right to do well on the Sabbath, or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” (Luke 6:10)  And looking around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored sound as the other. (Luke 6:11)  But they were filled with folly, and were speaking with one another what they should do to יהושע. (Luke 6:12)  And in those days it came to be that He went out to the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in prayer to Elohim. (Luke 6:13)  And when it became day, He called near His taught ones and chose from them twelve, whom He also named emissaries: (Luke 6:14) Shimʽon whom He also named Kĕpha, and his brother Andri, Yaʽaqoḇ and Yoḥanan, Philip and Bartholomi, (Luke 6:15) Mattithyahu and T’oma, Yaʽaqoḇ the son of Alphai and Shimʽon, the one called the Ardent One, (Luke 6:16) Yehuḏah the son of Yaʽaqoḇ and Yehuḏah from Qerioth who also became the betrayer.

 

 

My prayer and hope is that you and I will NOW fast, pray and OVERCOME our own flesh and rid ourselves of UNBELIEF and have victory overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify our Father in Heaven! I pray also for the infilling of His Spirit in us- the HOPE OF GLORY!

 

NOW WE MUST SUBMIT AND OBEY AND RECEIVE HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND GIFTS! LOVED ONE- even if we are already filled with His Ruach- we must pray more than ever in the Ruach HaKodesh (Unknown Tongues) and build up our most set-apart faith that we may walk in His love!

 

Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful and targeted prayers for us- your prayers are truly a lifeline to the Kingdom! Growth and correction are painful but vital as we strive to become more like Yahshua and less like who we used to be BEFORE HE CAME TO MAKE US HIS LIVE BONES AGAIN- ISRAEL!

 

Thurston

We MUST decrease and He must increase in us- by our choices and submission to Him in ALL things.

PS Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your targeted and Throne reaching prayers for Billie and me! Thanks are to YHWH- who gives us the Victory through Messiah Yahshua!

 

 

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

 

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