Shabbat Shalom
Loved One!
This
study is attached for ease of print and study format. YHWH is drawing all to
Himself- Hallelu-YAH!
Why
we are on a different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox. For me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued
at end of this week’s study
Last week we discussed: The Global Reset or applied
FIX? To our world’s Monetary System and how we need His power and wisdom to
overcome!
Today we will also review and then go to the only method He assures us and
defines we will have power to be witnesses- and and removing unbelief as this
allows us to produce real fruit that really remains! Remember the importance of
not fearing and the provisions YHWH has made for us to be over comers! Last
week we also considered the power of our words agreeing with Him
and we also must realize that intimacy in worship brings His presence
because He inhabits the praises of His people! All of us can WORSHIP!
I
gave a short study on what I believe is the Monetary Reform or OVERHAUL for the
world’s financial system. No more FIAT currencies. Please take note and be
aware- this following was and is ONLY MY OPINION! We
realize their purpose is not to bless believers with wealth- the plan of course
is for hasatan, the ruler of this world, to move to a position of CONTROL.
Yes,
he (hasatan) will eventually use
digital currencies in the end to make uniform his ability to apply the mark of
the beast to the world- where he can try and destroy all opposition, namely all
believers. Obviously, Yahweh is way ahead of him as usual; and will use this
changeover to equip sober and alert believers to benefit. Yes, those believers
who hear and obey will benefit greatly, as the world constantly tells us not to
fall for the scam of these Middle Eastern and Asian currencies (Such as the Iraqi Dinar, Iranian Rial,
Vietnamese Dong) being revalued. How long will this new found wealth last?
Not sure, but not likely over a few years- IMO, as believers will be tested for
what’s in their hearts and how will they use this wealth?
Will it be used
to promote themselves- or DO THE GOSPEL? What I taught last week is still solely
my opinion. I wanted to share what I THINK I KNOW, because this reset worldwide
revalues and devalues of currencies
approved by the G-20 nations (The largest
of the world’s economies), using the agreed G-20 formula for a country’s
assets, IS UPON US. I expect many revalues such as the Iraqi Dinar could be as late
as OCTOBER 1, 2016 (U.S. Governments
fiscal year) IMO, and many of the currencies revalues will already be
finished by June 30, 2016 IMO, the revalue will be based on asset wealth in a
country, and will be in full swing in 2017- with more of the planned control
via TPP and like mannered TRADE AGREEMENTS for all countries will allow the NEW
WORLD ORDER (The wealth elite who march
to hasatan- some unknowingly) will be in FULL CONTROL of the world’s
economic systems. Next step will then come forth- MARK OF THE BEAST. So we have
time perhaps- to make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and become the OVERCOMERS He
has paid for!
Loved One- it is becoming
clear that Jacob’s Trouble (Not the Jews only trouble-ALL Israel-
especially us who claim being grafted in) is approaching all living on the
earth.
QUESTION- What is it that
you and I desire to accomplish in our time here on Planet Earth? Is it fame,
wealth, pleasure, more toys and “stuff” or possibly something more lasting…say
eternal? What is worthy of our life’s mission
and accomplishment? Will we allow our lives
to be broken and changed into His image by our own choice or will we soon be
pulverized and destroyed leaving nothing- all our worldly accomplishments
burned up leaving nothing but ash? Matthew 21:44 “And he
who falls on this stone (The
Word- Yahshua) shall be broken, 1 but on
whomever it falls, he shall be pulverized.” Footnote:
1 Romans 8:10 & 13, Colossians 3:5.
(Deuteronomy
30:19)
“I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the
blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, (Deuteronomy 30:20) to love יהוה your Elohim,
to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of
your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה
swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give
them.”
(Proverbs
18:21) Death and life are in the power
of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit. Power
comes when we totally submit and yield our spirits, souls, and bodies to our
King- in word and action!
“To him who overcomes (Comment:
the intimate fellowship is only available 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.” ’ ” With
understanding our need for the Helper and Comforter He has made available if we
so choose to humble ourselves and our tongues and be the 5 virgins with power
and provision (oil of His spirit).
Love
calls….again this morning I was awakened by the Ruach to address some things
for us- the “BODY” of Messiah. Some of us in fleeing religion and duty have
scurried toward more duty and left relationship. It was like warning sirens
were sounding and then Scriptures of reality were brought to mind to awaken and
return us to our “FIRST LOVE”! The “TRAP” set by the enemy of our souls is DUTY
or also known as religion- doing the works acceptable to our peers whether it
is “Churchianity, Judaism, Torahkeeper”, etc. It becomes mote and not from our
heart of relationship. I suspect our very hearts DESIRE is to move into more
intimacy with our Creator!
Point one that blared at me; He
reminded me of what He considers TRUE RELIGION.
(James
1:22) And become doers of the Word, and not
hearers only, 1
deceiving yourselves. Footnote: 1 See
Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49, Luke 8:21, Romans 2:13, Hebrews 4:11, Revelation.
22:14. (James 1:23) If anyone is a
hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural
face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at
himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. (James 1:25) But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,
1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a
doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1 See 2:12. (James 1:26) If anyone among you thinks he is
religious, and does not bridle his tongue
but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless.
(James
1:27) Clean
and undefiled religion (Pure) before the Elohim and Father is this: to
visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself
unstained (Unpolluted) from the world. The world is coming at us
from every angle and culture worldwide- in CULTURALLY ACCEPTABLE WHOREDOMS.
So the first
question posed to us- Is our personal relationship (religion) pure before the
Father of Lights? Our Master will require a verdict shortly of each of us with
the great trials and troubles He will allow on the earth. Our response should
remind us of our need for recommitted DECISION; (Joshua 24:15)
“And if it seems evil in your eyes to serve יהוה, choose for
yourselves this day whom you are going to serve, whether the mighty ones which
your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the mighty ones of the
Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But
I and my house, we will serve יהוה.”
The second question posed for us is
similar in that it addresses HOW we become DOERS of the Word walking in HIS
power and not Hearers only deceiving ourselves. Here’s the Scripture we have
not paid nearly enough attention to from His warning and for those among us who
will not receive anything from Sha’ul (Paul)- I fear for you; Consider
carefully about HIS POWER LOVED ONE- everything else will be a trap and leave
you helpless (powerless) against hell’s plan. HERE IS THE SECOND SCRIPTURE HE AWAKENED ME WITH FOR US TODAY!
(2
Timothy 3:1) But
know this, that in the last days hard times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:2)
For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers, (2 Timothy 3:3)
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters
of good, (2 Timothy 3:4) betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim, (2 Timothy
3:5) having a form of reverence1 (Godliness)
but denying
its power. And turn away from these! Footnote: 1See
v. 13, Isaiah 24:5-6, Matthew 24:12, Romans 1:30-31, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-11. (2 Timothy 3:6)
For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly
women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, (2 Timothy 3:7) always learning and never able
to come to the knowledge of the truth. Are we walking in His
power, praying in the Ruach (Unknown
tongues) ad seeing and decreeing His miracle power against the forces of
hell? Are we operating in the Ruach HaKodesh gifts for the benefit of OTHERS?
We should be and this should be our pursuit and product of intimate
relationship with our Messiah ad King- that we may SHE’MA O’ Israel- HEAR AND DO!
He’s been
sending warnings with FISHERS for us- but next comes the HUNTERS. (Coming—hmm—maybe arrived already- but certainly
soon to the countries of the world)
(Jeremiah
16:9) For thus said יהוה of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “See,
before your eyes and in your days, I am making the voice of rejoicing and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride to
cease in this place. (Jeremiah 16:10) “And it shall be, when you declare to this
people all these words, and they shall say to you, ‘Why has יהוה pronounced all this great evil against us? And what is our
crookedness, and what is our sin that we have committed against יהוה our Elohim?’
(Jeremiah 16:11) then you shall say to them,
‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ declares יהוה,
‘and have walked after other mighty ones and served them and bowed themselves
to them, and have forsaken me, and did not guard My Torah. (Jeremiah 16:12)
‘And you have done more evil than your fathers, for look, each one walks
according to the stubbornness of his own evil heart, without listening to me. (Jeremiah 16:13)
‘So I shall throw you out of this land into a land that you do not know,
neither you nor your fathers. And there you shall serve other mighty ones day
and night, where I show you no favor.’
(Jeremiah 16:14)
“Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה,
“when it is no longer said, ‘יהוה lives who brought up
the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim,’ (Jeremiah
16:15) but, ‘יהוה lives who brought up
the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of the north and from all the lands
where He had driven them.’ For I shall bring them back into
their land I gave to their fathers. (Jeremiah
16:16) “See, I am sending for
many fishermen,” declares יהוה, “and they shall fish them. And after that
I shall send for many hunters,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the
holes of the rocks.
(Jeremiah 16:17)
“For my eyes are on all their ways; they have not been hidden from my
face, nor has their crookedness been hidden from my eyes. (Jeremiah 16:18)
“And first I shall repay double for their crookedness and their sin,
because they have defiled my land with the dead bodies of their disgusting matters,
and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.” (Jeremiah 16:19)
O יהוה, my strength and my stronghold and my
refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to you from the ends of
the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood, (lies) futility, and there is no value in them.”1 Footnote: 1See
Psalms 147:19, Isaiah 2:3, Isaiah. 60:2-3, John 4:22, Romans 2:20, Romans 3:2,
Romans 9:4. (Jeremiah 16:20) Would a man make mighty ones for himself,
which are not mighty ones?
(Jeremiah 16:21)
“Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I
cause them to know my hand and my might. And they shall know that My Name is יהוה!”
I am praying the
following link is a true prophecy---allowing us merciful time to draw many
closer---one thing is certain- we will soon know- and WE MUST BE ABOUT OUR
FATHER’S BUSINESS WITH ALL DILIGENCE!
OUR KING IS
SITTING ON THE THRONE! (Revelation 3:10) 'Because you have
kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of
testing, (Comment: not a pre-tribulation
rapture- but His assurance and protection through the storms) that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those
who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 3:11)
'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have,
so that no one will take your crown. (Revelation
3:12) 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he
will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of my Elohim,
and the name of the city of my Elohim, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out
of heaven from my Elohim, and my new name. (Revelation
3:13) 'He,
who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach HaKodesh says to the assemblies.' (This is not a pre-tribulation rapture, He
promises to protect and use us even in the fiery furnace- so let’s be
usable!) Loved One, who are we really? Were
we really born for such a time as this? Is this really the “End of the Age”? These questions are being
answered by unfolding events and by our testimony- that is what we say and what we do
about these unfolding events. We shall
overcome by the Blood of the Lamb of YHWH and our Testimony or
not overcome at all. All Creation is groaning for the sons and daughters of
YHWH to manifest. Seems we will be tried by fire to see if we will walk by His
Ruach (Spirit) or not.
Why is it so important that you and I overcome our
fears, unbelief and trials?
(Revelation
21:7) He that overcomes shall inherit all
things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:8)
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire
and brimstone: which is the second death.
We
are not under condemnation Loved One- hasatan alone is condemned and he
purposes to put on us- the death and condemnation pronounced on him…
Are we fearful? YHWH did not give us a spirit of fear… (2
Timothy 1:7) For Elohim has
not given us a spirit of cowardice (Fear),
but of power and of love and of self-control (Sound mind).
We must clean up
and make ourselves ready as His BRIDE and allow Him to make us who were once
DRY BONES to become the restored! We cannot follow those of various
religious systems who are described here as this sounds a lot like modern
Churchianity: (Ezekiel 22:26) "Her priests have done violence to my law
(Torah/Instructions) and have profaned my holy things; they have
made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught
the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from
my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” (He said MY Sabbaths-
seems we can’t pick our own)
Why are these days so critical and we must truly repent
in sackcloth and ashes so to speak? I believe we are in the last days Laodicean
age that Yahshua warned us about:
(Revelation
3:14)
"To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write:
The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning
of the creation of YHWH, says this: (Revelation
3:15) 'I know your deeds, that you are neither
cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. (Revelation
3:16) 'Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot
nor cold; I’ll spit you out of my mouth. (Vomit) (Revelation
3:17) 'Because
you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of
nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor
and blind and naked, (Revelation 3:18) I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire (faith-believing- which is true riches) so that you may
become rich, and white garments (Pure
and undefiled robes of righteousness) so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your
nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve (spiritual eyes opened) to anoint your eyes so that you may see. (Revelation 3:19) 'Those whom I love, I
reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. (Revelation 3:20)
'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if
anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine
with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:21) 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I
also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.
Good News Truth Seeker! Time to ARISE AND AWAKEN!
It is our
destiny to seek Him with all our hearts, soul, and body and walk in His glory
realm; His mercy, compassion, provision, protection and power! (Jeremiah 29:11)
‘For I know the plans I am planning for you,’ declares יהוה, ‘plans of
peace and not of evil, to give you a future and expectancy. (Jeremiah 29:12)
‘Then you shall call on me,
and shall come and pray to me, and I shall listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:13)
‘And you shall seek me, and
shall find me, when you search for me with all
your heart1. Footnote: 1 Deuteronomy 4:29, Joel 2:12. (Jeremiah 29:14)
‘And
I shall be found by you,’ declares יהוה,
‘and I shall turn back your captivity, and shall gather you from all the
gentiles and from all the places where I have driven you, declares יהוה. And I shall bring you back to the place
from which I have exiled you.’ (Genesis 13:17)
"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I
will give it to you." (Ephesians 5:14) That is why He says, “Arise, wake up you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and
Messiah shall shine on you.” (Isaiah 60:1) “Arise
and shine, for your light has come! And the esteem (glory) of יהוה has risen upon you.
Last week we also
looked again at 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 are not
possible for you and I is our UNBELIEF!
I cannot share this too much with you loved ones!
Unbelief or belief is the real
TOPIC in the following Scriptures spoken by Messiah Yahshua! What gets rid of our unbelief? PRAYER AND
FASTING according to Yahshua! Let’s look closer at why we can
believe that statement: (Mark 9:16)
And He asked them, "What are you discussing with
them?" (Mark 9:17) And one of the crowd answered Him,
"Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him
mute; (Mark 9:18) and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens
out. I told your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it." (Mark 9:19) And He *answered them and *said, "O unbelieving
generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you?
Bring him to me!" (Mark 9:20) They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him,
immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he
began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. (Mark
9:21) And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?"
And he said, "From childhood.
(Mark
9:22) "It has often thrown him both into the
fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, take pity
on us and help us!" (Mark 9:23) And Yahshua said to him, “‘if you
can?' All things are possible to him who
believes." (Mark 9:24)
Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe;
help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:25) When Yahshua saw that a crowd was rapidly
gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not
enter him again." (Mark 9:26) After crying out and throwing him into
terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy
became so much like a corpse that most of them
said, "He is dead!" (Mark 9:27) But Yahshua took him by the hand and raised
him; and he got up. (Mark 9:28) When He came into the
house, His disciples began questioning
Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?" (Looking in Matthew) (Matthew 17:20)
And יהושע said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for
truly, I say to you, if you have belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to
this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And no matter
shall be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:21) “But this kind does
not go out except through prayer and fasting.”
I have mentioned many times- the topic is not
some great demon, even the head of all demons must bow to the name. The problem and topic here is unbelief.
We get rid of unbelief by prayer and fasting! Prayer AND Fasting, not prayer without fasting or
fasting without prayer- If we really want our prayers answered we must be willing
to do YHWH’s requirements. If we really care about our loved ones we will seek
YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying…Yahshua promises in
Revelation to throw the fearful
(worriers) into hell with the
adulterers, murderers etc. Why? Because, if that is who we become under great
fiery trials we have trusted the power of hasatan to do us harm, more than the
power of YHWH to deliver us! Could this apply to you and me? NOT IF we pray and fast and overcome! So
let’s be busy about our Father’s business and do it! Remember; Yahshua’s instructions are Hebraic
or Hebrew thought. It is not about mental assent like Greek thought. It is
about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only deceiving ourselves. It is
She’mah O’ Israel or HEAR
AND OBEY! Let’s learn to fast and pray and remove
our unbelief!
With those precepts in place in
our thinking; we turn our hearts and minds to learn- as we study His Torah cycle or ancient path each
week that we are returning to. (Psalms 119:105) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Isaiah
58:12) And they that shall be of you shall build the old
waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you
shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah
58:13) If you turn away your
foot from the Sabbath, from doing
your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of
YHWH, honorable; and shall honor him, not doing your own
ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: (Isaiah 58:14) Then you shall delight yourself in
YHWH; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed
you with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of YHWH has spoken it.
That was much reviewing but critical to our restoration
and the walk of His power!
What else does Yahshua say about these matters and times? (Luke 21:11) And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
(Luke 21:12) But before all these,
they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues,
and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. (Luke 21:13) And it shall turn to you for a testimony. (Luke 21:14) Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what you
shall answer: (Luke 21:15) I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. (Luke 21:16) And you shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. (Luke 21:17) And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. (Luke 21:18) But there shall not a hair of your head perish. (Luke 21:19) In your patience possess you your souls. (Luke 21:20) And when you shall see
Jerusalem compassed with armies, and then know that the desolation thereof is
nigh. (Luke 21:21) Then let them which
are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it
depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter there. (Luke 21:22) For these are the Days
of Vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Luke 21:23) But woes unto them that are with child and to them that give
suck, in those days! There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people. (Luke 21:24) And they shall fall
by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles (Goyim-heathen), until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:25)
And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and
in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:26) Men's hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the
earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:27) And then shall they
see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. (Luke 21:28) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh. (Luke 21:29)
And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig
tree, and all the trees; (Luke 21:30) When they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own
selves that summer is now nigh at hand. (Luke
21:31) So
likewise you, when you see these things come to pass, know you that the Kingdom
of YHWH is nigh at hand. (Luke 21:32) Verily I say unto
you, this generation shall not pass
away, till all is fulfilled. (What
generation? The generation that sees these things start and then come to pass!)
(Luke 21:33) Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. (Luke 21:34) And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and
so that day come
upon you unawares. (Luke 21:35) As a snare shall it
come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. (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 with Him that will remain!
Our Words really do direct us! Start today
hiding the Word of YHWH in your heart-memorize some Scripture daily!
(Matthew
12:30) “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather
with me scatters abroad. (Matthew 12:31) “Because of this I say to you, all sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not
be forgiven men. (Matthew 12:32) “And whoever speaks a word against the
Son of Aḏam, it shall be
forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be
forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Matthew
12:32) “And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Aḏam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks
against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age
or in the age to come. (Matthew 12:33) “Either make the tree good
and its fruit well, or else make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for a
tree is known by its fruit. (Matthew 12:34) “You
brood of adders! How are you able to speak what is good – being wicked? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. (Matthew
12:35) “The good man brings
forth what is good from the good treasures of his heart, and the wicked man
brings forth what is wicked from the wicked treasure. (Matthew
12:36) “And I say to you
that for every idle (careless) word
men speak, they shall give an account of it in the Day of Judgment. (Matthew
12:37) “For by your
words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared
unrighteous (condemned).”
If no man (male or female) can tame the tongue, which yields our
direction similar to a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship; how then can
our tongue be tamed? Too many “teachers” putting down others and building
their own kingdoms- which of course will be burned with fire!
(Proverbs
18:21) Death and life
are in the power of the tongue, and those loving it eat its fruit.
(James
3:1) Not many of you should become teachers, my
brothers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment. (James 3:2) For
we all stumble in many matters. If anyone does not stumble in word, he
is a perfect (mature) man, able also to bridle the entire
body. (James 3:3) Look, we put bits in the mouths of horses,
for them to obey us, and we turn their body. (James
3:4) Look at the ships too:
although they are so big and are driven by strong winds, they are turned by a
very small rudder wherever the pilot intends. (James
3:5) So too the tongue is a
little member, yet boasts greatly. See how a little fire kindles a great
forest! (James 3:6) And the tongue is a fire, the world of
unrighteousness. Among our members the tongue is set, the one defiling the
entire body, and setting on fire the wheel of life, and it is set on fire by
Gehenna. (James 3:7) For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile
and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. (James 3:8) But no man is able to tame the tongue.
It is unruly, evil, filled with deadly poison. (James
3:9) With it we bless our Elohim
and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of
Elohim. (James 3:10) Out of
the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be so.
(James 3:11)
Does the fountain send forth the sweet and the bitter from the same
opening? (James 3:12) My brothers, is a fig tree able to bear
olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither is a fountain able to make salt and
sweet water. (James 3:13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
him show by his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom. (James 3:14) But
if you have bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast
against and lie against the truth. (James 3:15) This is not the wisdom coming down from
above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. (James
3:16) For where jealousy and
self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed. (James 3:17)
But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready
to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy.
Yahshua (Jesus) is the Baptizer in the Holy- Set Apart Spirit and Fire and The
Righteous Judge with the axe! We need His power and His baptizing us in His
Spirit to overcome and be real witnesses for His Kingdom and that is the KING’S
DOMAIN! We must consider carefully and not reject the Ruach- you and I will
lose much if we do.
(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 (Yah Channan- Yah’s mercy or John)
immerse (baptize) 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 (baptize) you in the
Set-apart Spirit and fire. (Yahshua!)
If no man can
tame his tongue; then it would seem obvious that only...Only…ONLY by us yielding our tongues to
Yahshua will they be tamed and directed! That is why He warned us: (Luke 11:11) “And what
father among you whose son asks for bread shall give him a stone, or if he asks
for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, (Luke 11:12) or if he asks for an egg shall give him
a scorpion? (Comment: snakes and
scorpions are indicative of the demonic realm He gave us power over in Luke
10:19) (Luke 11:13) “If you then, being wicked, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father from heaven give
the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit)
to those asking Him!”
What Yahshua is
hinting and teaching about is that we will need to trust Him and receive His
Spirit baptism and yes, thank YHWH, a prayer language in unknown tongues that
no man understands as we offer mysteries (questions)
that YHWH alone understands. (1 Corinthians 14:2) For he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto
YHWH: for no man understands him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaks mysteries. (1
Corinthians 14:14) For if I pray
in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays,
but my understanding is unfruitful. (1 Corinthians
14:15) What is it then? I will
pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing
with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Summarizing:
Yahweh knew we could produce no fruit that would remain on our own—at least
against the powers of the wicked one and his minions- so we must humble ourselves- remove our pride and
distrust and submit our tongues to Him-
No snakes or scorpions (Demonic
realm) are given those that trust in our
loving Heavenly Father
Luke
11:11
If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will
he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?
Luke 11:12 Or if he
asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? Luke
11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give
the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Okay- back to
our point and our need
(John
15:5) I am the vine, ye
are the
branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit:
for without me you can
do nothing. (John 15:6) If a man abides not
in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and
cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John
15:7) If
you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it
shall be done unto you. (John 15:8) Herein is my
Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. (John 15:9) As the Father hath
loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. (John 15:10) If you keep my
commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in His love. John 15:16
You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he
may give it you.
Knowing that we
will produce no fruit that remains on our own, He provided a
method for us to walk in His “overcoming” power and His Spirit- He
only requires that we trust Him and yield our tongues (Direction like a bridle on a horse or a rudder on a ship) (Acts 1:8) But you shall receive power, after that the Set Apart
Spirit (Holy Spirit) is
come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
ALL ALL ALL --Then
immediately after this they all
received a prayer language in Acts 2:4! Listen Loved One, do not think you or I
will produce ANY fruit that will remain apart from His Holy Spirit directing
you- don’t be prideful. We SUBMIT (Humble
ourselves) to YHWH and the devil will flee- If we don’t submit our tongues;
hasatan will continue to dominate us. Hint: they spoke as the
Spirit gave utterance- you will have to open your mouth to speak if or most
likely when- you ask Yahshua to give you a supernatural prayer language and
baptize you in His Spirit. Since you are already one of the 10 virgins (born again spiritually) seems natural
intelligence to become of the 5 virgins who have enough oil (power) to enter the Wedding Feast.
Yield and hunger for His help and righteousness TODAY while He may be found and
watch the devil flee as you are FILLED! Whoever hungers and thirsts for
righteousness WILL BE FILLED! Get HUNGRY for Him!
Here’s the picture warning from Yahshua of us last day’s
Assembly of believer’s and why we MUST have His power!
(Revelation 3:14) “And to the messenger of the
assembly in Laodicea write, ‘The Amĕn, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the
Beginning of the creation of Elohim, 1 says this: Footnote: 1 Colossians
1:15, Hebrew 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 (Comment- faith
and trust comes through fiery trials) in the fire, 1 so
that you become rich; and white garments, so that you become dressed, so that
the shame of your nakedness might not be shown; and anoint your eyes with
ointment, so that you see. (Most of us have
been blinded by the god of this world and are taken captive to do his will;
yielding our free will to hasatan due to our own disobedience of His commands-
Torah- Instructions- which 1 John defines as SIN!)
Footnote: 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
(Comment: the fellowship is only available 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.” ’ ” With understanding our need for the
Helper and Comforter He has made available if we so choose to humble ourselves
and our tongues and be the 5 virgins with power and provision (oil of His spirit); we turn to this
week’s Torah portion- Shalom!
This
week’s Torah Scriptures: Vayeshev “And He
Settled”
Genesis 37:1-
40:23; Amos 2:6-3:8; Zechariah 2:14- 4:7; Acts 7: 9-16
Sometimes we want to share our prophetic dreams, visions revelations
and understandings; it usually brings hasatan and his evil forces to block
YHWH’s plans and strategies temporarily! (Meaning WAR-
That means we will Walk/Stand by faith
and trust or be taken captive or destroyed in battle)
(Genesis 37:1)
And Yaʽaqoḇ dwelt in the land of his
father’s sojourning, in the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis
37:2) this is the genealogy of Yaʽaqoḇ. Yosĕph, being seventeen years
old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the young man was with the
sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Yosĕph brought
an evil report of them to his father. (Genesis 37:3) And Yisra’ĕl loved Yosĕph more than all his
children, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a long robe. (Genesis 37:4)
But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his
brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him. (Genesis 37:5)
And Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers. So they hated
him even more. (Genesis 37:6) And he said to them, “Please listen to this
dream which I have dreamed: (Genesis 37:7) “See, we were binding sheaves in the midst of
the field, and see, my sheaf rose up and also stood up. And see, your sheaves
stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” (Genesis
37:8) And his brothers said to
him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Shall you indeed rule over us?” So they
hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. (Genesis
37:9) And he dreamed still
another dream and related it to his brothers, and said, “See, I have dreamed
another dream, and see, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to
me.” (Genesis 37:10) And he related it to his father and his
brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that
you have dreamed? Shall we, your mother and I and your brothers, indeed come to
bow down to the earth before you?” (Genesis 37:11) And his brothers envied him, but his father
guarded the word. (Genesis 37:12) And his brothers went to feed their father’s
flock in Sheḵem. (Genesis 37:13) And Yisra’ĕl said to Yosĕph, “Are not your
brothers feeding the flock in Sheḵem? Come, I send you to them.” So he
said to him, “Here I am.” (Genesis 37:14) And he said to him, “Please go and see if it
is well with your brothers and well with the sheep, and bring back word to me.”
So he sent him out of the Valley of Ḥeḇron, and he went to Sheḵem. (Genesis 37:15)
And a certain man found him, and see, he was wandering in the field. And
the man asked him, saying, “What do you seek?” (Genesis
37:16) And he said, “I am seeking
my brothers. Please inform me where they are feeding their sheep.” (Genesis 37:17)
And the man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go
towards Dothan.’ ” So Yosĕph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan. (Genesis 37:18)
And they saw him from a distance, and before he came near them, they
plotted against him, to kill him. (Genesis 37:19) And they said to each other, “See, this
master of dreams is coming! (Genesis 37:20) “Now, then, come and let us now kill him and
throw him into some pit, and shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ Let
us then see what comes of his dreams!”
One Torah keeper- follower of Yahweh among
them who would not shed innocent blood!
(Genesis 37:21) But Re’uḇĕn heard and rescued him from their hands, and said, “Let us not
take his life.” (Genesis 37:22) And Re’uḇĕn said to them, “Shed no blood.
Throw him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on
him” – in order to rescue him out of their hands, and bring him back to his
father. (Genesis 37:23) So it came to be, when Yosĕph had come to his
brothers, that they stripped Yosĕph of his robe, the long robe which was on
him. (Genesis 37:24) And they took him and threw him into a pit.
And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. (Genesis
37:25) And they sat down to eat a
meal. And they lifted their eyes and looked and saw a company of Yishmaʽĕlites,
coming from Gilʽaḏ with their camels, bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, and
going to take them down to Mitsrayim. (Genesis 37:26) And Yehuḏah said to his brothers, “What
would we gain if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? (Genesis 37:27)
“Come and let us sell him to the Yishmaʽĕlites, and let not our hand be
upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh.” And his brothers listened. (Genesis 37:28)
And men, Miḏyanite traders passed by, so they pulled Yosĕph up and
lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Yishmaʽĕlites for twenty pieces
of silver. And they took Yosĕph to Mitsrayim. (Genesis
37:29) And Re’uḇĕn returned to
the pit, and see, Yosĕph was not in the pit. And he tore his garments. (Genesis 37:30)
And he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone! And I, where
am I to go?” (Genesis 37:31) So they took Yosĕph’s robe, killed a male
goat, and dipped the robe in the blood, (Genesis
37:32) and sent the long robe and brought it to their father and said,
“We have found this. Please look, is it the robe of your son or not?” (Genesis 37:33)
And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe. An evil beast has
devoured him. Yosĕph is torn, torn to pieces.” (Genesis
37:34) And Yaʽaqoḇ tore his
garments, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days. (Genesis 37:35)
And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he
refused to be comforted, and he said, “Now let me go down into the grave to my
son in mourning.” So his father wept for him. (Genesis
37:36) And the Miḏanites had
sold him in Mitsrayim to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the
guard.
Note how easy it is for us to judge
others and not so easy to judge ourselves righteously
(Genesis 38:1)
And at that time it came to be that Yehuḏah
left his brothers, and turned aside to a man, an Aḏullamite whose name was
Ḥirah. (Genesis 38:2) And Yehuḏah saw there a daughter of a
certain Kenaʽanite whose name was Shuwa. And he took her and went in to her. (Genesis 38:3)
So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Ěr. (Genesis 38:4) and she conceived again and bore a
son, and she called his name Onan. (Genesis 38:5) And she conceived yet again and bore a son,
and called his name Shĕlah. And he was at Keziḇ when she bore him. (Genesis 38:6)
And Yehuḏah took a wife for Ěr his first-born, and her name was Tamar. (Genesis 38:7)
But Ěr, Yehuḏah’s first-born, was evil in the eyes of יהוה, and יהוה took his life. (Genesis 38:8)
And Yehuḏah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her,
and rise up an heir to your brother.” (Genesis 38:9) And Onan knew that the offspring would not be
his. And it came to be, when he went in to his brother’s wife that he spilled
on the ground, lest he should give an offspring to his brother. (Genesis 38:10)
But what he did displeased יהוה,
so He took his life too. (Genesis 38:11) Then Yehuḏah said to Tamar his
daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house until my son Shĕlah is
grown.” He said, “Lest he also die as his brothers did.” And Tamar went and
dwelt in her father’s house. (Genesis 38:12) And after a long time the daughter of Shuwa,
Yehuḏah’s wife, died. And Yehuḏah was comforted, and went up to his
sheep-shearers at Timnah, he and his friend Ḥirah the Aḏullamite. (Genesis 38:13)
And it was reported to Tamar, saying, “See, your father-in-law is going
up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” (Genesis 38:14) And she took off her widow’s garments, and
covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat at the entrance to
Ěnayim which was on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shĕlah was grown, and
she was not given to him as a wife. (Genesis 38:15) And Yehuḏah saw her, and reckoned her for a
whore, for she had covered her face. (Genesis 38:16) And he turned aside to her by the way, and
said, “Please let me come in to you,” for he did not know that she was his
daughter-in-law. And she said, “What do you give me to come in to me?” (Genesis 38:17)
And he said, “Let me send you a young goat from the flock.” And she
said, “Do you give me a pledge until you send it?” (Genesis
38:18) So he said, “What pledge
should I give you?” And she said, “Your seal and your cord and your staff that
is in your hand.” And he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she
conceived by him. (Genesis 38:19) And she arose and went away, and removed her
veil and put on the garments of her widowhood. (Genesis
38:20) And Yehuḏah sent the
young goat by the hand of his friend the Aḏullamite, to receive his pledge
from the woman’s hand, but he did not find her. (Genesis
38:21) And he asked the men of
that place, saying, “Where is the cult prostitute who was beside the way to
Ěnayim?” And they said, “There was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Genesis 38:22)
And he returned to Yehuḏah and said, “I have not found her. And the men
of the place also said there was no cult prostitute in this place.” (Genesis 38:23)
And Yehuḏah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we become
despised, for I sent this young goat and you have not found her.” (Genesis 38:24)
And it came to be, about three months after that Yehuḏah was informed,
saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has whored, and see, she has conceived by
whoring.” And Yehuḏah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!” (Genesis 38:25)
When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the
man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please examine whose
these are: the seal and the cord and the staff.” (Genesis
38:26) And Yehuḏah examined and
said, “She
has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shĕlah my son.”
And he never knew her again. (Genesis
38:27) And it came to be, at the
time for giving birth that see, twins were in her womb. (Genesis 38:28) And it came
to be, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand. And the
midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came
out first.” (Genesis 38:29) And it came to be, as he drew back his hand
that see, his brother came out! And she said, “How did you break through? This
breach be upon you!” So his name was called Perets. (Genesis
38:30) And afterward his brother
came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. So his name was called Zeraḥ.
Sexual fornication and immorality is a tool hasatan will use against us to
test who we are also! We MUST guard our eye-gates and ear-gates- remember the
eyes are windows to our souls.
(Genesis 39:1)
And Yosĕph had been taken down to Mitsrayim. And Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh, captain of the guard, a Mitsrite, bought him from the Yishmaʽĕlites
who had taken him down there. (Genesis 39:2) And it came to be that יהוה was with Yosĕph, and he became a prosperous man, and was in the
house of his master the Mitsrite. (Genesis 39:3) And his master saw that יהוה was with him and that יהוה
made all he did to prosper in his hand. (Genesis 39:4) So Yosĕph found favor in his eyes, and served
him, and he appointed him over his house, and gave into his hand all that he
had. (Genesis 39:5) And it came to be, from the time that he
appointed him over his house and all that he had, that יהוה
blessed the Mitsrite’s house for Yosĕph’s sake. And the blessing of יהוה was on all that he had in the house and in
the field. (Genesis 39:6) And he left in Yosĕph’s hand all that he had,
and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. And Yosĕph
was handsome in form and appearance. (Genesis 39:7) And after these events it came to be that his
master’s wife lifted up her eyes to Yosĕph and said, “Lie with me.” (Genesis 39:8)
But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not
know what is with me in the house, and he has given into my hand all that he
has. (Genesis 39:9) “No one is greater in this house than I, and
he has not withheld whatever from me but you, because you are his wife. And how
shall I do this great evil and sin against Elohim?” (Genesis
39:10) And it came to be, as she
spoke to Yosĕph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to
be with her. (Genesis 39:11) And it came to be on a certain day, when
Yosĕph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was
inside, (Genesis 39:12) that she caught him by his garment, saying,
“Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. (Genesis 39:13)
And it came to be, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand
and fled outside, (Genesis 39:14) that she called to the men of her house and
spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Heḇrew to mock us. He
came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. (Genesis 39:15)
“And it came to be, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out,
that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.” (Genesis 39:16)
And she kept his garment with her until his master came home. (Genesis 39:17)
And she spoke to him these same words, saying, “The Heḇrew servant whom
you brought to us came in to me, to mock me, (Genesis
39:18) so it came to be, as I
lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled
outside.” (Genesis 39:19) And it came to be, when his master heard the
words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me according to
these words,” that his displeasure burned. (Genesis
39:20) Then Yosĕph’s master took
him and put him into the prison, a place where the sovereign’s prisoners were
confined. And he was there in the prison. (Genesis
39:21) But יהוה
was with Yosĕph and extended kindness to him, and He gave him favor in the eyes
of the prison warden. (Genesis 39:22) And the prison warden gave into the hand of
Yosĕph all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whatever was done there
was his doing. (Genesis 39:23) The prison warden did not look into any point
that was under Yosĕph’s hand, because יהוה
was with him. And whatever he did, יהוה
made it prosper.
After great fiery
trials and character development- we also will be promoted with YHWH’s wisdom!
(Genesis 40:1)
And after these events it came to be that the cupbearer and the baker of
the sovereign of Mitsrayim sinned against their master, the sovereign of
Mitsrayim. (Genesis 40:2) And Pharaoh was wroth with his two officers,
the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. (Genesis
40:3) So he put them in
confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place
where Yosĕph was a prisoner. (Genesis 40:4) And the captain of the guard put Yosĕph in
charge of them, and he served them. So they were in confinement for some time. (Genesis 40:5)
Then the cupbearer and the baker of the sovereign of Mitsrayim, who were
confined in the prison, dreamed a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one
night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. (Genesis 40:6) And Yosĕph
came in to them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad. (Genesis 40:7)
And he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in confinement of his
master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?” (Genesis 40:8) And they
said to him, “We each have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.”
And Yosĕph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? Relate them
to me, please.” (Genesis 40:9) So the chief cupbearer related his dream to
Yosĕph, and said to him, “See, in my dream a vine was before me, (Genesis 40:10) and in the vine were three branches,
and it was as though it budded – its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters
brought forth ripe grapes. (Genesis 40:11) “And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. So I took
the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s
hand.” (Genesis 40:12) And Yosĕph said to him, “This is the
interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. (Genesis 40:13)
“Yet, within three days Pharaoh is going to lift up your head and
restore you to your place, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand
according to the former ruling, when you were his cupbearer. (Genesis 40:14)
“But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to
me. And mention me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. (Genesis 40:15)
“Truly I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews.
And also I have done naught that they
should put me into the dungeon.” (Genesis 40:16) And the chief baker saw that the interpretation
was good, and he said to Yosĕph, “I also was in my dream and saw three white
baskets were on my head, (Genesis 40:17) and in
the uppermost basket all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate
them out of the basket on my head.” (Genesis 40:18) And Yosĕph answered and said, “This is the
interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. (Genesis 40:19) “Yet,
within three days Pharaoh is going to lift off your head from you and hang you
on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from you.” (Genesis 40:20)
And on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, it came to be that he made a
feast for all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer
and of the chief baker among his servants, (Genesis
40:21) and he restored the chief cupbearer to his post of cupbearer
again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand, (Genesis
40:22) but he hanged the chief baker, as Yosĕph had interpreted to them.
(Genesis 40:23)
And the chief cupbearer did not remember Yosĕph, but forgot him.
YHWH always reveals what is coming and
allows us a means of obedience and escape!
(Amos 2:6)
Thus said יהוה, “For three transgressions of Yisra’ĕl,
and for four, I do not turn it back, because they sell the righteous for
silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals, (Amos 2:7) who crush the head of the poor ones in the
dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father
go in to the same girl, to defile my set-apart Name. (Amos
2:8) “And they lie down by every
altar on garments taken in pledge, and in the house of their mighty one they
drink the wine of those who have been fined. (Amos
2:9) “Yet I destroyed the Amorites
before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars. And he was as
strong as the oaks, yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from
beneath. (Amos 2:10) “And I brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim,
and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorites.
(Amos 2:11)
“And I rose up some of your sons as prophets, and some of your young men
as Nazirites. Not so? O you children of Yisra’ĕl?” declares יהוה. (Amos 2:12) “But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and
commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy!’ (Amos
2:13) “See, I am weighed down by
you, as a wagon is weighed down when filled with sheaves. (Amos 2:14)
“And a place to flee shall perish from the swift, and the strong not
strengthen his power, and the mighty not save his life, (Amos 2:15) and he who handles the bow not stand, and the swift of
foot not save, nor he who rides a horse save his life, (Amos
2:16) and the bravest among the mighty flee naked, in that day,”
declares יהוה. (Amos 3:1) Hear this word that יהוה has spoken against you, O children of Yisra’ĕl, against the
entire clan which I brought up from the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Amos 3:2) “You alone have I known of all the clans of the earth,
therefore I punish you for all your crookednesses.” (Amos 3:3) Would two walk together,
without having met/agreed? (Amos 3:4) Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has
no prey? Does a young lion give forth his voice out of his den unless he has
caught? (Amos 3:5) Does a bird fall into a snare on the earth,
where there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the earth, if it has
not captured prey? (Amos 3:6) If a ram’s horn is blown in a city, do the
people not tremble? If there is calamity in a city, shall not יהוה have done it? (Amos 3:7) For the Master יהוה does no matter
unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:8) A
lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה
has spoken! Who would not prophesy?
Yahshua removed our guilt and our filthy garments and gave us robes of
righteousness ad by His Spirit- He will deliver us from every affliction and
trials IF we seek Him and His ways with all our hearts! Below is our shadow
picture:
(Zechariah 3:1)
And he showed me Yehoshua the high priest standing before the messenger (Angel) of יהוה, and Satan
standing at his right hand to be an adversary to him. (Zechariah
3:2) And יהוה
said to Satan, “יהוה rebuke you, Satan! יהוה who has chosen Yerushalayim rebuke you! Is
this not a brand plucked from the fire?” (Zechariah
3:3) And Yehoshua was dressed in
filthy garments, and was standing before the messenger. (Zechariah 3:4) And He
answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Remove the filthy
garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your guilt from you,
and shall put costly robes on you.” (Zechariah
3:5) And I said, “Let them put a
clean turban on his head.” Then they put a clean turban on his head, and they
put garments on him. And the messenger of יהוה
stood by. (Zechariah 3:6) And the messenger of יהוה witnessed to Yehoshua, saying, (Zechariah
3:7) “Thus said יהוה of hosts, ‘If you walk in my ways, and if
you guard my duty, then you shall also rule my house, and also guard my courts.
And I shall give you access among these standing here. (Zechariah 3:8) ‘Now
listen, Yehoshua the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you,
for they are men of symbol. For look, I am bringing forth My Servant – the Branch1. Footnote:
1 Or Sprout. See Isaiah. 4:2, Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5,
Jeremiah 33:15, Zechariah. 6:12. (Zechariah
3:9) ‘See the stone which I have put before Yehoshua: on one stone are
seven eyes. See, I am engraving its inscription,’ declares יהוה of hosts, ‘and I shall remove the guilt of that land in one
day. (Zechariah 3:10) ‘In
that day,’ (Hebrew
idiom for Day of the Lord or Jacob’s Troubles aka the Tribulation and the Day
of Vengeance of our Elohim) declares
יהוה of hosts, ‘you shall invite one another,
under the vine and under the fig tree.’ ” (Zechariah 4:1) and the messenger who was speaking
to me came back and woke me up as a man is awakened from sleep. (Zechariah 4:2)
And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I have looked, and
see: a lampstand all of gold with a bowl on top of it and on the stand seven
lamps with seven spouts to the seven lamps. (Zechariah
4:3) “And two olive trees are by
it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” (Zechariah 4:4)
Then I responded and spoke to the messenger who was speaking to me,
saying, “What are these, my master?” (Zechariah 4:5) And the messenger who was speaking to me
answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my
master.” (Zechariah 4:6) And he answered and said to me, “This is the
word of יהוה to Zerubbaḇel, ‘Not
by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ said יהוה of hosts. (Zechariah 4:7) ‘Who are you, Great Mountain, before
Zerubbaḇel? A plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of
“Favor, favor (Grace- Grace or mercy) to
it!” ’ ”
Like Joseph, we too are becoming manifested as the sons of YHWH and will be
delivered from all our afflictions- even future scarcity of food and other
distresses!
(Acts 7:9) “And the ancestors, becoming
jealous, sold Yosĕph into Mitsrayim. But Elohim was
with him, (Acts 7:10) and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave
him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim. And
he appointed him governor over Mitsrayim and his entire house. (Acts 7:11)
“Then a scarcity of food and great distress came over all the land of Mitsrayim
and Kena‘an, and our fathers found no food. (Acts
7:12) “But Yaʽaqoḇ
heard that there was grain in Mitsrayim, and he sent out our fathers the first
time, (Acts 7:13) and at the second time Yosĕph
was made known to his brothers, and Yosĕph’s race became known to the Pharaoh. (Acts 7:14)
“And Yosĕph sent and called his father Yaʽaqoḇ and all his relatives to
him, seventy-five people. (Acts 7:15) “And Yaʽaqoḇ went down to Mitsrayim, and
died, he and our fathers, (Acts 7:16) and they were brought over to Sheḵem and
laid in the tomb that Aḇraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of
Ḥamor, the father of Sheḵem.
Shalom to your home Loved One- thank you for your wonderful prayers for Billie and
me! My prayer and hope is that we will NOW be DETERMINED to fast and
pray and OVERCOME our own flesh with worship and decree agreeing with Yahshua’s
words; and Rid ourselves of FEAR and UNBELIEF
and have victory overcoming prayer on all our prayer fronts! This will glorify
our Father in Heaven! We must be overcomers loved ones—and that MUST start with
each one of our own hearts- to overcome our flesh man who wants (And often
does) rule our hearts! May Yahweh – through His Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)
give each power to overcome and a will for victory in this area and DIRECTION
of our lives!
Blessings, Thurston
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.
