Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
(Shavuot-Pentecost this Sunday is a Shabbat, a day of Spiritual gifting;
receiving His power and gifts and this study is attached for easier
reading/printing!) 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
My prayer for
this study and your love walk with our Messiah: For I resolved not to know any matter among you except יהושע Messiah and
Him impaled. (Crucified) (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 faith/belief/trust should
not be in the wisdom of men (Or even your own or learned intellect)but in the power of Elohim. I
further pray that you learn to walk in His supernatural gifts by faith and
trust and further that you walk in obedience and so in love with the Messiah
that you FEAR NOTHING! I pray you are crucified in Messiah and that you no longer live according to the flesh, and your own
INTELLECT but walk according to the spirit,
and the life you live, you live in Him who loves you
and gave Himself up for you!
My prayer today; as we move close to
Shavuot this Sunday and the infilling of the Ruach Ha Kodesh; is that we walk out our relationships with Yahweh
and mankind; not based on our own intellect, but rather on relationship of love
with Yahweh and man.
Romans 8:5
for those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters
of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the matters
of the Spirit. Romans 8:6 for the mind of the
flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity
towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself 1
to the Torah of Elohim 2, neither
indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1 Or does
not obey. 2 John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18. Romans 8:8 and those who are in the flesh are unable
to please Elohim. Romans 8:9 but you are not in
the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And
if
anyone
does not have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His. Romans 8:10 And if Messiah is in you, the body is
truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of
righteousness. Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of
Him who raised יהושע from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Messiah from the
dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in
you. Romans 8:12 so then, brothers, we are not
debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. Romans
8:13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die; but
if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. Romans 8:14 for as many as are led by the Spirit of
Elohim, these are sons of Elohim. Romans 8:15
for you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received
the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:16
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of
Elohim, Romans 8:17 and if children, also heirs
– truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with
Him, in order that we also be exalted together. Romans
8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth
comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us. Romans 8:19 for the intense longing 1
of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim. Footnote: 1 Lit. Anxiously looking with
outstretched head.
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 HaKodeshs’ role and His alone! We may plant
and water- but He brings the increase or there is no increase in the matter!
My goal 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 will never convince anyone of your 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.
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.
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 QUARRELLS 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.
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’s 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!
We must clean up and make ourselves
ready as His BRIDE! We cannot follow those of various religious systems
as described here as it seems a lot like modern luke-warm Christians to me:
(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 (Clean and Unclean),
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.
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 will spit (Vomit) you out
of my mouth. (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-belief 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.
REMEMBER
LOVED ONE- YHWH is in control and only allowing trials to determine who His
bride is. She WILL make herself ready. He came once to pay the whoring wife’s
penalty of death, took the bitter water for us, and provided the restoration of
the fallen bride- He is coming again for His bride and not the bride without
light and oil for her lamp! So rejoice again I say rejoice- we die to self that
He may increase in us! DO NOT FEAR! 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, 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.'
(Remember 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.
So let’s review where
our study led us these last few weeks- the importance of not fearing and
the provisions YHWH has made for us to be overcomers! We discussed how intimacy
in worship brings His presence because He inhabits the praises of His
people! We have also learned much about
the POWER TWINS (Fasting and Prayer-
which removes our UNBELIEF) for overcoming fear and the schemes of our
enemy.
We have learned also about simple worship will
always allow us to overcome fear! (Fear
comes when we trust hasatan’s power to overcome us with evil rather than us
trusting in Mighty YHWH to deliver us!) Obviously spirits of the enemy
hasatan cannot hang around when YHWH is present- just not possible! He informs
us to put on the spirit (garment) of
praise for the spirit(s) of heaviness- So we win by entering His presence!
That’s important for you and me, and them to know, because many loved ones are full
of fear and we need to be able to help them from a position of power over the
enemy- HIS PEACE!
Naturally, our
blinded and deaf loved ones reject hearing truth because they do not understand
these fiery trials are coming now and they do not recognize that by facing them
and growing spiritually we and they have been created to overcome- but only as
we learn to walk by the spirit and not the natural flesh man.
That’s why
Yahshua tells us when He sees us loving our brothers and sisters, only then are
we really His disciples! If they don’t have ears to hear us because of our lack
of mercy, compassion, and love; we will have failed as followers of Messiah
Yahshua and can produce no fruit that remains.
Again, remember all things are possible for YHWH, the only reason they are not
possible for you and I is our UNBELIEF! So should we not make every
active effort on our parts to rid ourselves of all UNBELIEF? Let’s make sure we understand this- our lives may depend on it soon!
What gets rid of
unbelief? PRAYER AND FASTING according to
Yahshua! Let’s review again 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) “This kind does not go out except through prayer and fasting.” (Kind of what- The topic: UNBELIEF!) So 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- THESE ARE
YHWH’S POWER TWINS! If we really care about our loved ones we will seek
YHWH’s face with prayer and fasting and quit worrying- some have been taken
captive to do hasatan’s will- they are blinded by the god of this world- the
gates of hell will open and they will be released to make a right choice only
when we get rid of our unbelief and tear down kick down the gates of hell.…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!
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.
Okay it is
time to review the GREATEST TOOL YHWH gave us for OVERCOMING fear and all the
schemes of the enemy; this particular gift has been much maligned and attacked
by religion; doctrines of devils, and hasatan’s entire battle forces.
We believers
have been lied to throughout the ages that this gift is useless, only available
for a select few (of which you and I are
not of course), is passed away, or even demonic. Why was everything the
enemy had assigned to wipe out this “secret weapon” given by YHWH? Obviously, the enemy of our souls wants us
defenseless. Think praying in the spirit is Demonic? Hmm. Yahshua warned us to
NOT assign the works of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy
Spirit) to demons.
Let’s look
closer: (Matthew 12:22) Then they brought to
Him one who was demon-possessed, blind and dumb. And He healed him, so that the
blind and dumb man both spoke and saw.(Matthew 12:23) And all the crowds were amazed and said, “Is
this the Son of Dawiḏ?” (Matthew
12:24) But when the Pharisees
heard it they said, “This one does
not cast out demons except by Beʽelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” (Comment- assigning the works of the Ruach
HaKodesh – Holy Spirit to the work of demons) (Matthew
12:25) And יהושע knew their
thoughts, and said to them, “Every Kingdom divided
against itself is laid waste, and every city or house divided against itself
shall not stand. (Matthew 12:26) “And if Satan casts
out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then does his Kingdom stand? (Matthew 12:27) “And if I, by Beʽelzebul, do cast out demons,
by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they shall be your judges.
(Matthew 12:28) “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of
Elohim, then the reign of Elohim has come upon you. (Matthew 12:29)
“Or how is one able to enter a strong man’s
house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he
shall plunder his house. (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 12:33) “Either make the tree
good and its fruit good, 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 (Vipers)! How are you- who are evil 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).”
Seems we might
want to realign ourselves with what Yahshua says and be very careful to not
speak our own thoughts and ideas and religion which assign YHWH’s mighty and
miraculous gifts and works to hasatan and his demons. We should not be so
prideful and arrogant to consider we have no need for this special weapon and
gift of OVERCOMING. Are we so captured by hasatan that we prefer to be
“accepted” by our culture, family and friends rather than submitting ourselves
to Yah’s plans for our lives here? Choice time loved one: Do we want to be
accepted and approved by YHWH’s favor or our family and friends? He is asking
us to make the choice. We will fall on Him (The
word made flesh that dwelled among us) and die to our own person (ality) or He will fall on us and pulverize
us! (Matthew 21:43) Therefore say I unto
you, the kingdom of YHWH shall be taken from you, and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Matthew
21:44) And
whosoever shall fall on this stone (The Word of YHWH- Yahshua- the Chief Cornerstone) shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.
Okay let’s
continue to review as we again move deeper and discover the absolute guaranteed
victory gift; Praying in the Spirit or unknown tongues-
where it is guaranteed to have no known interpretation. These are unknown tongues for
personal edification and charging your spiritual battery.
How do we build up our trust/faith and overcome fear?
(Jude
1:14) And Ḥanoḵ,
the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, יהוה comes with His
myriads of set-apart ones, (Jude 1:15) to
execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all
their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning
all the harsh words which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.” (Jude 1:16)
These are grumblers, complainers, who walk according to their own lusts,
and their mouth speaks proudly, admiring faces of others for the sake of
gain. (Jude 1:17) But you, beloved ones, remember the words
spoken before by the emissaries of our Master יהושע
Messiah, (Jude 1:18) because they told you that
there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own
wicked lusts. (Jude 1:19) These are the ones who cause divisions, not
having the Spirit. (Jude 1:20) But
you, beloved ones, building yourselves up on your most set-apart belief,
praying in the Set-apart (Holy) Spirit, (Jude
1:21) keep yourselves in the love of Elohim, looking for the compassion
of our Master יהושע Messiah unto
everlasting life.
Earnestly Seek
His gifts- if they were demonic, had no power to help us, or were passed away-
would He ask us to earnestly seek them? Only a Doctrine of Demons would say so…also note- this IS how you pursue love, because this
is how we know we are even praying as we ought to be and without ceasing is now
possible with this wonderful gift available to all for our personal building up
our faith and trust., to be His witnesses and produce any fruit that will
actually remain after us.
(1
Corinthians 14:1) Pursue love, and earnestly seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you
prophesy. (1 Corinthians 14:2) For he who is speaking in a (unknown) tongue does not speak to men
but to YHWH Elohim, for no man
understands, but in the Spirit he speaks secrets (Mysteries). (Comment: these mysteries are questions and things we must
learn and be downloaded answers about securing our victory that Yahshua paid
for- basically our spirit man is asking the perfect questions and YHWH is
downloading the answers, furthermore how could there be interpretation if NO
MAN UNDERSTANDS? Tongues for an assembly will always have interpretation but
that particular gift is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit which only operates
as the Spirit wills and is for edifying the Assembly.) (1 Corinthians 14:3)
But he who is prophesying speaks up building and encouragement and
comfort to men. (1 Corinthians 14:4) He who is speaking in an (unknown prayer) tongue builds up or edifies himself, but he who is
prophesying builds up the assembly. (1 Corinthians
14:5) Now I wish you all spoke
with tongues, but rather that you might prophesy, for he who is prophesying is
greater than he who is speaking with tongues, unless he interprets, so that the
assembly might receive up-building.
By an act of our submission of our own wills we can
receive and yield to our own prayer language which no man understands! (Available to all and not an act AS THE SPIRIT WILLS
as are the nine gifts of the Spirit including Tongues with interpretation
listed in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12 which are all supernatural power and
revelatory gifts)
Let’s look at how we can walk in His power and
become His witness as that is the only way He has provided for us to produce
fruit that remains. Yahshua warns us to not reject this gift due to being
fearful we might receive a demon…remember Luke 10:19 as He gave us power to
overcome all the power of the enemy and trample on snakes and
scorpions-(representing the demonic forces of hasatan.
Want to be a
witness? The promise is for whosoever will submit and receive His power!
(Act
1:8) “But you shall
receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you, and (Then and only then) you shall be my
witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all
Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and
to the end of the earth.” (Act
1:9) And having said this, while
they were looking on, He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Everyone who
asks (submission to
the Word and desire allows us to receive His power to overcome fear and all the
demonic realm)
(Luke
11:9) “And I say to you:
ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall
be opened to you. (Luke 11:10) “For everyone asking receives, and he who is seeking
finds, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. (Luke 11:11) “And what father among you whose son asks for bread shall
give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish shall give him a snake instead of a fish, (Luke 11:12) or if he asks
for an egg shall give him a scorpion?
(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 (Holy) Spirit to those asking Him!”
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-
mikvah) in the Set-apart Spirit.’
Rivers of Living Water are the prayers
that are Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit directed Unknown tongues) as they go
downstream and provide victory to every situation- even when we don’t know what
to pray for as we ought- He does and has never missed it on a prayer- so we should
be smart enough to yield our own tongues which James declares are likened to
the rudder to our ship and as a bridle is to a horse gives us our direction
since no man can tame his tongue only YHWH can and that only by our permission
and yielding! Rivers are better than a “well of salvation” as a well can
produce fruit for you and a few (Maybe a small village or household) but a
river goes downstream and produces life and victory everywhere it goes!
Hallelu-YAH! Remember that in Acts 2, THEY SPOKE (ALL of them present)
as YHWH gave the utterance! You too have to open your mouth to speak and allow
Him to give the utterance- He will not force you to yield and surrender- You
are allowed to surrender or not- try lifting up hands without wrath or doubt
and yield- DON’T JUDGE SMALL BERGINNINGS OR PARTICULAR SOUNDS OR GROANINGS-
Just yield your tongue and trust Him and ask Him to mikvah (Baptize) you to
overflowing in His Spirit and His goodness as you forgive everyone who has done
evil against you- that you may also be forgiven and receive by faith and
trusting Him as HE really IS ALIVE and will baptize you to overflowing rivers
in His Ruach! Remember Loved One. He is no respecter of persons as Kefa (Peter)
stated; and as He told Jeremiah- “You have seen correctly Jeremiah- I am
watching over my word to perform it!” (Jeremiah1:12) And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am
watching over y word to do it.”
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, Proverbs14:27, 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.
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.
Some religious people say that
the fruits are what we are to seek and the gifts have finished. 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.
As we read and understand and make ourselves available to
walk in His 9 spiritual gifts they are appropriated for the benefit of
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. (1 Corinthians 12:14) For the body does not consist of one member
but of many. (1 Corinthians 12:15) If the foot should say, "Because I am
not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less
a part of the body. (1 Corinthians 12:16) And if the ear should say, "Because I am
not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less
a part of the body. (1 Corinthians 12:17) If the whole body were an eye, where would be
the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense
of smell?
(1
Corinthians 12:18) But as it is, YHWH arranged the members in
the body, each one of them, as he chose. (1
Corinthians 12:19) If all were a
single member, where would the body be? (1 Corinthians
12:20) As it is, there are many
parts, yet one body. (1 Corinthians 12:21) The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have
no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of
you." (1 Corinthians 12:22) On the contrary, the parts of the body that
seem to be weaker are indispensable, (1 Corinthians
12:23) and on those parts of the body that we think are less honorable
we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with
greater modesty, (1 Corinthians 12:24) which
our more presentable parts do not require. But YHWH has so composed the body,
giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, (1
Corinthians 12:25) that there may be no division in the body, but that
the members may have the same care for one another. (1
Corinthians 12:26) If one member
suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. (1 Corinthians 12:27)
Now you are the body of Messiah and individually members of it. (1 Corinthians 12:28)
And YHWH has appointed in the Assembly of believer’s first apostles,
second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping,
administrating, and various kinds of tongues. (1
Corinthians 12:29) Are all
apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? (1 Corinthians 12:30)
Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all
interpret? (Only as the Spirit wills and
different from praying in the Spirit where no man understands and builds up
your trust and faith)) (1 Corinthians 12:31) But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I
will show you a still more excellent way.
With our
understanding of service to others, love, and unity ESTABLISHED in our hearts
and minds;
that YHWH ALONE has made supernatural provision for us to be DOERS of HIS WORD;
AND NOT HEARER’S ONLY, we turn to this week’s Torah Scriptures.
This
week’s Torah Scriptures: Miketz “At the End”
Genesis 41:1-44:17; 1 Kings 3:15-4:1; 1 Kings 7:40-51; 1
Corinthians 2-1-5;
YHWH still gives
dreams and interpretations and Strategies for RESTORATION!
(Genesis 41:1)
And it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a
dream, and saw him standing by the river, (Genesis
41:2) and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and
fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Genesis 41:3)
then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean
of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. (Genesis 41:4)
And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and
fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. (Genesis 41:5) And he slept and dreamed a second time and
saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good, (Genesis 41:6)
and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after
them. (Genesis 41:7) And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven
plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream. (Genesis 41:8)
And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent
and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh
related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for
Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:9) Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh,
saying, “I remember my crimes this day. (Genesis
41:10) “When Pharaoh was wroth
with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the
guard, both me and the chief baker, (Genesis 41:11)
each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed
according to the interpretation of his own dream. (Genesis
41:12) “And there was with us a
Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard. And
we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he
interpreted according to his own dream. (Genesis
41:13) “And it came to be, as he
interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he
hanged him.” (Genesis 41:14) Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they
hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his
garments, and came to Pharaoh. (Genesis 41:15) And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I have dreamed a
dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of
you that you understand a dream, to interpret it.” (Genesis
41:16) And Yosĕph answered
Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me, let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.” (Genesis 41:17)
And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the
river (Genesis 41:18) and saw seven cows coming
up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, (Genesis 41:19) then saw seven other cows coming up
after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never
seen in all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:20) “And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up
the first seven, the fat cows. (Genesis 41:21) “Yet when they had eaten them up, no one
would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the
beginning. Then I awoke. (Genesis 41:22) “Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven
heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good, (Genesis
41:23) then saw seven heads,
withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. (Genesis 41:24)
“And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the
magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.” (Genesis 41:25)
And Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has
shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: (Genesis 41:26)
“The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years
– it is one dream. (Genesis 41:27) “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came
up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east
wind are seven years of scarcity of food. (Genesis
41:28) “This is the word which I
spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. (Genesis 41:29) “See, seven years of great plenty are coming
in all the land of Mitsrayim, (Genesis 41:30)
but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty
be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy
the land, (Genesis 41:31) and the plenty shall
not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for
it is very severe. (Genesis 41:32) “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice
because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it. (Genesis 41:33)
“And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him
over the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:34) “Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint
overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the
seven years of plenty. (Genesis 41:35) “And let them gather all the food of those
good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and
let them keep food in the cities. (Genesis 41:36) “And the food shall be for a store for the
land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of
Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food.” (Genesis 41:37)
And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his
servants. (Genesis 41:38) And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we
find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” (Genesis 41:39)
Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has shown you all this, there
is no one as discerning and wise as you. (Genesis
41:40) “Be over my house, you
yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am
greater than you.” (Genesis 41:41) And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, I have set
you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” (Genesis 41:42) And Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand
and put it on Yosĕph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and
put a gold chain around his neck. (Genesis 41:43) And he had him ride in the second chariot
which he had. And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him
over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:44) And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I am Pharaoh,
and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the
land of Mitsrayim.” (Genesis 41:45) And Pharaoh called Yosĕph’s name
Zaphnath-Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of
Poti-Pherah priest of On. And Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:46)
Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh Sovereign
of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went
throughout all the land of Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:47) And in the seven years of plenty the ground
brought forth generously. (Genesis 41:48) And he gathered all the food of the seven
years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities.
He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. (Genesis 41:49)
Thus Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he
ceased counting, for it was without number. (Genesis
41:50) And to Yosĕph were born
two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter
of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. (Genesis
41:51) And Yosĕph called the name
of the first-born Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and
all my father’s house.” (Genesis 41:52) And the name of the second he called
Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my
affliction.” (Genesis 41:53) And the seven years of plenty which were in
the land of Mitsrayim came to an end, (Genesis 41:54)
and the seven years of scarcity of food began to come, as Yosĕph had said. And
the scarcity of food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim there
was bread. (Genesis 41:55) But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered,
and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrites,
“Go to Yosĕph, do whatever he says to you.” (Genesis
41:56) And the scarcity of food
was over all the face of the earth, and Yosĕph opened all the storehouses and
sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of food was severe in the land of
Mitsrayim. (Genesis 41:57) And all the earth came to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim
to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.
Restoration in progress- obstacles are
a stepping stone to our DELIVERER!
(Genesis 42:1)
And when Yaʽaqoḇ saw that there was grain
in Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ said to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?” (Genesis 42:2)
And he said, “See, I have heard that there is grain in Mitsrayim. Go
down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die.” (Genesis 42:3)
And Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. (Genesis 42:4)
But Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕph’s brother Binyamin with his brothers,
for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.” (Genesis
42:5) And the sons of Yisra’ĕl
went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in
the land of Kenaʽan. (Genesis 42:6) And Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he
was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers came
and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. (Genesis 42:7)
And Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a
stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you
come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food.” (Genesis 42:8)
So Yosĕph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. (Genesis 42:9)
And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and
said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!” (Genesis 42:10)
And they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy
food. (Genesis 42:11) “We are all one man’s sons, we are
trustworthy, your servants are not spies.” (Genesis
42:12) But he said to them, “No,
but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” (Genesis
42:13) And they said, “Your
servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And
see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” (Genesis 42:14)
And Yosĕph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are
spies!’ (Genesis 42:15) “By this you shall be proven: By the life of
Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. (Genesis 42:16)
“Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in
prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you,
or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!” (Genesis
42:17) And he put them all
together in prison for three days. (Genesis 42:18) Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, “Do
this and live, for I fear Elohim: (Genesis 42:19)
“If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison
house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses. (Genesis 42:20)
“And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed,
and you do not die.” And so they did.(Genesis 42:21) And they said to each other, “Truly, we are
guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he
pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon
us.” (Genesis 42:22) And Re’uḇĕn answered them, saying, “Did I
not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not
listen? And see, his blood is now required of us.” (Genesis 42:23) And they did not know that Yosĕph understood
them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. (Genesis
42:24) And he turned himself away
from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took
Shimʽon from them and bound him before their eyes. (Genesis
42:25) And Yosĕph commanded and
they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his
sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them. (Genesis 42:26)
So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there. (Genesis 42:27)
And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the
lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack! (Genesis 42:28)
And he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and there it
is, in my sack!” And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each
other, “What is this that Elohim has done to us?” (Genesis
42:29) So they came to Yaʽaqoḇ
their father in the land of Kenaʽan and reported to him all that befell them,
saying, (Genesis 42:30) “The man, the master of
the land, spoke to us harshly, and took us for spies of the land. (Genesis 42:31)
“But we said to him, ‘We are trustworthy, we are not spies. (Genesis 42:32)
‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the
youngest is today with our father in the land of Kenaʽan.’ (Genesis 42:33) “And the man, the master of the land,
said to us, ‘by this I know that you are trustworthy: Leave one of your
brothers here with me, and take food for the scarcity of food of your
households, and go. (Genesis 42:34) ‘And bring your youngest brother to me, then
I know that you are not spies, but that you are trustworthy – I give your
brother to you, and you move about in the land.’ ” (Genesis
42:35) and it came to be as they emptied their sacks, that look, the
bundle of each man’s silver was in his sack! And when they and their father saw
the bundles of silver, they were afraid. (Genesis
42:36) And Yaʽaqoḇ their father
said to them, “You have bereaved me – Yosĕph is no more, and Shimʽon is no
more, and you would take Binyamin! All this is against me.” (Genesis 42:37)
So Re’uḇĕn spoke to his father, saying, “Take the lives of my two sons
if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I myself bring him
back to you.” (Genesis 42:38) But he said, “My son is not going down with
you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should come to
him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my grey hair with
sorrow to the grave.”
Through great trials and troubles we
are made usable for YHWH’s deliverance!
(Genesis 43:1)
But the scarcity of food was severe in the land. (Genesis 43:2) And it came
to be, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Mitsrayim
that their father said to them, “Go back, and buy us a little food.” (Genesis 43:3)
But Yehuḏah spoke to him, saying, “The
man vehemently warned us, saying, ‘You do not see my face unless your brother
is with you.’ ” (Genesis 43:4) “If you let our
brother go with us, we go down and buy you food. (Genesis
43:5) “But if you do not let him
go, we do not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You do not see my face
unless your brother is with you.’ ” (Genesis 43:6)
And Yisra’ĕl said, “Why did you do evil to me to inform the man that you still
had another brother?” (Genesis 43:7) And they said, “The man kept asking about us
and our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another
brother?’ And we informed him according to these words. How could we know that
he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” (Genesis
43:8) And Yehuḏah said to
Yisra’ĕl his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, and live
and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. (Genesis
43:9) “I myself shall stand
guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him
back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever. (Genesis 43:10)
“For if we had not delayed, truly by now we could have returned this
second time.” (Genesis 43:11) And their father Yisra’ĕl said to them, “If
so, then do this: Take some of the best fruit of the land in your vessels and
bring a present down for the man, a little balm and a little honey, spices and
myrrh, nuts and almonds. (Genesis 43:12) “And take double silver in your hand, and
take back in your hand the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks.
It could have been a mistake. (Genesis 43:13) “And take your brother, and arise, go back to
the man. (Genesis 43:14) “And Ěl Shaddai give to you compassion before
the man, so that he shall release your other brother and Binyamin. And I, if I
am bereaved, I am bereaved!” (Genesis 43:15) And the men took that present and Binyamin,
and they took double the amount of silver in their hand, and arose and went
down to Mitsrayim, and stood before Yosĕph. (Genesis
43:16) And Yosĕph saw Binyamin
with them, and said to the one over his house, “Bring the men home, and make a
great slaughter, and prepare, for these men are to eat with me at noon.” (Genesis 43:17)
And the man did as Yosĕph said, and the man brought the men into
Yosĕph’s house. (Genesis 43:18) And the men were afraid because they were
brought into Yosĕph’s house. And they said, “It is because of the silver, which
was put back into our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, to throw
himself upon us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves, our donkeys too.” (Genesis 43:19)
So they came near to the man over the house of Yosĕph, and spoke to him
at the door of the house, (Genesis 43:20) and said, “O my master, we indeed came down
the first time to buy food, (Genesis 43:21) but it came to be, when we came to the
lodging place, that we opened our sacks and saw each man’s silver in the mouth
of his sack, our silver in its weight. And we have brought it back in our hand.
(Genesis 43:22)
“And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do
not know who put our silver in our sacks.” (Genesis
43:23) But he said, “Peace be
with you, do not be afraid. Your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given
you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!” And he brought
Shimʽon out to them. (Genesis 43:24) And the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s
house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys
fodder. (Genesis 43:25) And they made the present ready for Yosĕph’s
coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there. (Genesis 43:26)
And when Yosĕph came home, they brought him the present which was in
their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth. (Genesis 43:27)
And he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your father well,
the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” (Genesis
43:28) And they said, “Your
servant our father is in good health, he is still alive.” And they bowed their
heads down and did obeisance. (Genesis 43:29) And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother
Binyamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you
spoke to me?” And he said, “Elohim show favor to you, my son.” (Genesis 43:30)
And Yosĕph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his
brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and
wept there. (Genesis 43:31) Then he washed his face and came out, and
controlled himself, and said, “Serve the food.” (Genesis
43:32) And they set him a place
by himself, and them by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by
themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Heḇrews, for that is
an abomination to the Mitsrites. (Genesis 43:33) And they sat before him, the first-born
according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the
men looked at each other in astonishment. (Genesis
43:34) And he took portions to
them from before him, but Binyamin’s portion was five times as much as any of
theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.
Trap set for restoration!
(Genesis 44:1)
And he commanded the one over his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks
with food, as they are able to bear, and put each man’s silver in the mouth of
his sack. (Genesis 44:2) “And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth
of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain.” And he did
according to the word of Yosĕph which he spoke. (Genesis
44:3) As soon as the morning was
light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys. (Genesis
44:4) And when they had gone out
of the city, not having gone far, Yosĕph said to the one over his house, “Rise
up, follow the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid
evil for good? (Genesis
44:5) ‘Is this not the one from
which my master drinks, and with which he indeed divines? You have done evil in
what you have done.’ ” (Genesis 44:6) So he
overtook them and spoke these words to them. (Genesis
44:7) And they said to him, “Why
does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do
according to this word. (Genesis 44:8) “See, we brought back to you from the land of
Kenaʽan the silver which we found in the mouth of our
sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master’s house? (Genesis 44:9)
“With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall
become my master’s slaves as well.” (Genesis 44:10) And he said, “Now also let it be according to
your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent.” (Genesis 44:11)
And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each
opened his sack. (Genesis 44:12) And he searched, with the oldest first and
with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin’s sack. (Genesis 44:13)
And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went
back to the city. (Genesis 44:14) And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to
Yosĕph’s house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground.
(Genesis 44:15)
And Yosĕph said to them, “What deed is this you have done? Did you not
know that a man like me indeed divines?” (Genesis
44:16) And Yehuḏah said, “What
do we say to my master? What do we speak? Or how do we clear ourselves? Elohim
has found out the crookedness of your servants. See, we are my master’s slaves,
both we and he also with whom the cup was found.” (Genesis
44:17) But he said, “Far be it
from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he becomes my
slave. And you go up in peace to your father.”
Solomon sought the wisdom that is from
above- we can and should also!
(1 Kings 3:15)
And Shelomoh awoke, and see, it was a dream! And he came into
Yerushalayim and stood before the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and offered up burnt offerings and made peace offerings. And
he made a feast for all his servants. (1 Kings 3:16) Then two women, whores, came to the
sovereign, and stood before him. (1 Kings 3:17) And one woman said, “O my master, this woman
and I dwell in the same house. And I gave birth while she was in the house. (1 Kings 3:18)
“And it came to be, the third day after I had given birth, that this
woman also gave birth. And we were together. There was no one else with us in
the house, only the two of us in the house. (1 Kings
3:19) “Then this woman’s son died
in the night, because she lay on him. (1 Kings 3:20) “And she rose up in the middle of the night
and took my son from my side, while your female servant slept, and laid him in
her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1
Kings 3:21) “And I rose up in the
morning to nurse my son and saw he was dead. But I looked at him closely in the
morning, and saw he was not my son whom I had borne.” (1
Kings 3:22) And the other woman
said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And the
first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my
son.” And they spoke before the sovereign. (1 Kings
3:23) And the sovereign said,
“The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one,’ while
the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living
one.’ ” (1 Kings 3:24) And the sovereign said,
“Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the sovereign. (1 Kings 3:25) And the sovereign said, “Divide the living
child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” (1 Kings 3:26)
And the woman whose son was living spoke to the sovereign, for she was
overcome with compassion for her son. And she said, “O my master, give her the
living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other said, “Let him be
neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” (1 Kings
3:27) And the sovereign answered
and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him –
she is his mother.” (1 Kings 3:28) And all Yisra’ĕl heard of the right- ruling
which the sovereign had rendered. And they feared the sovereign, for they saw
that the wisdom of Elohim was in him to do right-ruling. (1 Kings 4:1)
And it came to be that Sovereign Shelomoh was sovereign over all
Yisra’ĕl.
Building up the House or Temple now is not made by human hands but is
your body!
(1 Kings 7:40)
And Ḥiram made the pots and the
shovels and the bowls. And Ḥiram completed doing all the work that he was to
do for Sovereign Shelomoh on the House of יהוה: (1 Kings 7:41)
the two columns, and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the
columns, and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were
on top of the columns; (1 Kings 7:42) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two
networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two
bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the columns; (1
Kings 7:43) and the ten stands,
and the ten basins on the stands; (1 Kings 7:44) and the one Sea, and twelve oxen under the
Sea; (1 Kings 7:45) and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls.
And all these utensils which Ḥiram made for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House
of יהוה were of polished bronze. (1 Kings 7:46)
The sovereign had them cast in clay in the district of Yardĕn between
Sukkoth and Tsarethan. (1 Kings 7:47) And Shelomoh left all the utensils unweighed,
because they were many, nor was the weight of the bronze searched out. (1 Kings 7:48)
So Shelomoh made all the utensils for the House of יהוה: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the
showbread; (1 Kings 7:49) and the lamp stands of refined gold, five on
the right side and five on the left in front of the Speaking Place, with the
flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold; (1
Kings 7:50) and the basins, and
the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined
gold, and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the Most
Set-apart Place, and for the doors of the house of the Hĕḵal. (1 Kings 7:51) Thus all the work which Sovereign Shelomoh had
done for the House of יהוה was completed. And
Shelomoh brought in the set-apart items of his father Dawiḏ: the silver and
the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the House of יהוה.
My prayer for you loved one, is that you become
empowered to demonstrate His power as listed following and produce
the fruit that remains! (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/trust should
not be in the wisdom of men but
in the power of Elohim. I further pray that you learn to walk in His
supernatural gifts by faith and trust and further that you walk in obedience
and so in love with the Messiah that you FEAR NOT! I pray you are crucified in
Messiah and that you no longer live
according to the flesh, and your own
INTELLECT but walk according to the spirit, and the life you live, you
live in Him who loves you and gave Himself up for you! Thanks for your timely
prayers for me that I also walk in power, love and obedience; and that YHWH
directs, provides, and protects me and my loved ones! I believe those wonderful
prayers are seeds for your own loved ones- PRAISE YHWH! OUR DELIVERER IS
COMING! HALLELU-YAH! You are much loved!
Shalom to your home loved one,
Thurston

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

Yerushalayim, and to pray before יהוה.’
