Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
This
study is attached for ease of print and study. YHWH is restoring all
things and that includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose
mercy endures forever! All who call on His name will be delivered! 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…Oh, a dear friend asked us to pray for a young woman who is Costa Rica-
her name is Sylvia, and we break all generational curses off from her- especially
rejection and anemia in the name of Yahshua- Thank You Father! We command all
wicked spirits to leave her and never enter her again- Father giver her
confidence in You and fill her with your Spirit! I pray that same prayer for
all who are needing a fresh filling of your love and power for healing and
victory to overcome all the schemes of hell! Thank You Father! HalleluYah!

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine,
for your light has come! And the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:2 “For look, darkness covers the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you. Isaiah 60:3 “And the gentiles shall come to your light1, and sovereigns to the brightness
of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah 60:19,20,
Revelation 21:23,24 Isaiah 60:4 “Lift up
your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you;
your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side. Isaiah 60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the
wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you.
The
review is necessary because these types of challenge are on believers
worldwide. I suspect the days are getting darker and we must start shining
brighter- and that only comes with fiery trials- a refiner’s fire so to speak-
but it is definitely WAKE UP TIME for the slumbering Body of MESSIAH- ISRAEL! You
may remember that after my computer was stolen, we went to stay with our
friends that night. After dinner, the young lion, (Our friend’s son)
asked if I would worship with him- I replied yes- after I finish a few things.
He came again and asked, I replied “soon”.
Finally, he asked again- and up I hopped to go and worship. I remember I
had socks on and his room was freezing on my feet. He was barefooted- so surely
I can endure as worshiped and invited the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit)
to guide us into His presence. Immediately we sensed His presence- as His Set
Apart and holy awe fell in the room. I opened my eyes to see my young lion on
the floor and bended knee in nearly silent worship in tongues. The fire was
present as it covered my face and head.
Next
I look up and see Yahshua riding a white horse toward me about 50 yards or
meters away. Following not so far behind were many believers on brown and a few
black horses. Yahshua had his sword drawn and as He approached very near- say
10 yards or meters away- I could see Him clearly. He said somewhat sternly, “I am coming.” I glanced down at the
drawn sword and noted it had blood on the bottom 1/3 of the blade- and it was
dripping. I replied to Him, “Looks like you’ve already been here.” His response
was a smile and He vanished.
Perplexed
and concerned I spoke to my young lion friend and said his name to get his
attention- and shared my vision and I noted to myself even, as I spoke to him the severity of the implied
message I JUST HAD FROM THIS VISITATION- WE BETTER MAKE SURE WE ARE ON HIS SIDE WHEN HE COMES!
I
mentioned to His dad (Also, a young lion or at least a middle aged one hehe)
what had just happened, but I was perplexed and pondering what I had
just encountered. It seemed out of order- as how was He coming- but already
here? I decided it was bedtime and as I prayed that night for understanding- I
fell asleep- what a day!
At
4 am I was awakened to hear my King teach me about the blood on His drawn
sword. He said, “Son,
I am coming for the drunk shepherds! Those who teach unclean things are clean,
and abominations are righteous. They even marry same sex and think I will
approve. I was smiling because my time of patience is finished- they have had
much time to repent, but continue to do wickedness to my people- leading them
toward hell. I smiled because I will no longer allow them to endanger so many-
they will now repent or perish.”
Now I
understood. He is coming to judge and clean His house first!
1Peter 4:17
Because it is time for judgment to begin from the House of Elohim. And
if firstly from us, what is the end of those
who do not obey the Good News of Elohim? 1Peter 4:18
And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the wicked and the
sinner appear? 1Peter 4:19 So then, those who
suffer according to the desire of Elohim should commit their lives to a
trustworthy Creator, in doing good.
He
showed me Isaiah 28 below to understand the drunk shepherds- or pastors,
teachers, leaders get judged first for leading many astray- the great falling
away is ongoing. Ephraim or Ephrayim are the ten tribes of the northern kingdom
of Israel- who the church mostly represents who were driven away from Israel
and became the lost sheep of Israel Yahshua came to restore. They were
driven away for their following after pagan ways for 390 years which was
multiplied by 7 for their failure to repent during that 390-year judgment shown
Ezekiel. That became 2730 years and is now up- or has been for a while as that
was in 724 BC when the Assyrian King Shalmaneser took them captive. Now it is
time we repent—or the next judgment is not times 7 again---but the next
judgment is a bloody sword and death.
Isaiah 28:1
Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephrayim,
and to the fading flower of its splendid comeliness that is on the head of the
fertile valley, to those who are overcome with wine! Isaiah
28:2 See, יהוה has one who is mighty and strong, like a downpour of hail and a
destroying storm, like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, who casts down to
the earth with the hand. Isaiah 28:3 The proud
crown of the drunkards of Ephrayim, is trampled underfoot; Isaiah 28:4 and the fading flower of its splendid
comeliness that is on the head of the fertile valley, like the first fruit
before the summer, which, when one sees it, he eats it up while it is still in
his hand. Isaiah 28:5 In that day יהוה of hosts is for a crown of splendor and a
head-dress of comeliness to the remnant of His people, Isaiah
28:6 and a spirit of right-ruling to him who sits in right-ruling, and
strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. Isaiah 28:7 And these too have gone astray through wine, and
through strong drink wandered about. Priest and prophet have gone astray
through strong drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they wander about through
strong drink, they go astray in vision, they stumble in right-ruling. Isaiah 28:8 For all tables shall be covered with
vomit, no place without filth. Isaiah 28:9 Whom would He teach knowledge?
And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those
taken from the breasts! Isaiah 28:10 For it is: command upon command, command upon command, line upon line,
line upon line, here a little, there a little. (Moses
and the Prophets- the foundation)
My
young lion friend is experiencing mighty visitations and encounters. Recently
he saw King David and this was fitting- because my young lion is a born
warrior. He was “in the cage” with grown men- police captains etc. in mixed
martial arts combat- and defeated them all. I told him often- (as he wanted to go to join French foreign
legion and others even IDF so he could fight) that it is better to have one
angel defending us than all the swords, guns, jet fighters, armies, etc. than
all of this world’s defenses. There is always someone younger, faster, better
equipped, trained etc.- if we walk by the flesh we shall surely die, but if by
the Spirit we walk- we shall live. He also had an encounter with Yahshua laying
hands on his head and telling him he was healing his brain.
Why am I sharing this scenario of
spiritual warfare again?
Because
many are already embattled and despairing- but this is promotion time loved
one- TRUST and CHARACTER MUST BE DEVELOPED WITH FAITH-BELIEF IN ACTION! (We all know that faith without action is
dead and likened to the body without the spirit man present- it can produce
nothing!) Hopefully we can see that there is always someone faster, better
equipped, better trained, stronger- well- I hope you get the point- because we
will learn to walk by the Spirit or we will surely die. WE ARE AT WAR FOR OUR
OWN LIVES AND THOSE OF OUR LOVED ONES. THIS WAR WILL DETERMINE IF WE ARE
OVER COMERS- OR THOSE THAT GIVE UP! Here is a real life example to help us all
awaken from our slumber from a concerned mom:

Subject: YOUNG LION / WARRIOR
Subject: YOUNG LION / WARRIOR
Dear brother in Yahushua
I had to write to you as
your message for this week resembles much of what is going on in both my sons lives.
But I am also confused.
My firstborn is 25 and he
believes he is bi- or homosexual and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He
had many visions from Yahuah since he was a little boy. He lived to please his
Elohim. He was a model son and head boy at school. Now he is on his way back
home after a short stay in another province. He is broken, his eyes full of
pain, knowing he had failed Yahuah. He is broken hearted. I am starting to fast
and pray so that Ruach Hakodesh will heal my son through me. To make him whole
so that he can be who Yahuah created him to be. He has great compassion for
those who suffer, for children and the elderly.
My youngest is 25. A
born warrior. He is a MMA fighter and he wanted to join the French Foreign
Legion, Royal Marines, or anything. He had dreams where he had to lead Yahuah's
people in war here in South Africa to safety. He has some form of depression or
temporal lobe epilepsy. This sounds so much like your young lion that I am
stunned. What is Yahushua trying to say to us if indeed something? Both my sons
need Yahushua's to lay His healing hands on their heads.
I have to fast and pray,
because fear rules me and I lack so much in believe and trust. I want Ruach
Hakodesh to completely consume me and make me new so that I can serve the
people if Yahuah. I know you must be a very busy man, but if possible and you
have some insight into this, please reply.
Much shalom to you and
your loved ones.
Concerned Mom
Here is my response:
Wow- honestly I initially thought your letter
was about my young lion, because his older brother is named that also.
You have already been shown the strategy for
their total redirection and healing. Fast and pray- pray much in the
Ruach...decree what you desire...and give thanks- AS THOUGH you already have
the things you ask for. Stand having done all stand! AND DECREE the matter. And
DECREE the matter. And DECREE the matter. Give thanks and praise Him for His
wonderful works.
Regarding your MMA younger son, when one becomes
a black belt- (I was one), it is easy to pick up some spirits of
self-exaltation along with the good and quiet confidence - because too much
reliance on self and not Yahweh brings forth pride. Father asked me about 35
years ago, as I had my name written in Korean on my black belt- "Son would
you rather have one twelve-foot angel, or your black belt and all the weapons
of this world? He went on to say, there will always be someone faster,
stronger, younger, more experienced, greater weapons, and better trained than
you." He then said, "burn your belt and all it represents and trust
me." I obeyed Him quickly.
Share this with your son, if he humbles
himself---or I should say WHEN he humbles himself, and asks Yahshua to use him
and direct him, and agrees that only He (Yahshua) will get the glory and honor-
then he will be delivered instantly- as you quietly, lovingly and with full
authority command all wicked, and unclean spirits; including pride and
self-exaltation to come apart from his spirit, soul, and body, and NEVER enter
him again. You have authority you don't even imagine right now---but seek the
Father's face and fast and pray- decree and worship with thanksgiving- and
IMAGINE (Think on) the GOOD REPORT- the promises of His word and the
restoration of Yahweh's plans for their lives--no matter what you see or feel.
GIVE THANKS as though you already have the thing you seek.
Shalom and blessings,
Thurston
Not sure how this will play out, because we may
have to be in UK and USA by the end of this month- but if not we will be in
Johannesburg ministering at a conference with a group of believers who keep
Torah. We agreed to come with the caveat, that we MAY have to be in USA at that
time… If you guys are close, perhaps we can meet.
Her response is that of one who knows her
Elohim and will not falter but stand and see His mighty hand. Please join in
her prayers- the reason I share details
is that many of you likely face the same or parts of similar warfare and
attacks- we can overcome because Yahshua has paid the price- WHAT WILL WE DO
WITH IT IS OUR REAL QUESTION.
WILL WE FIGHT THE FIGHT OF FAITH AND
OVERCOME?
Shalom Thurston and Billy
I am so encouraged by your response. Thank you! I stand and
decree victory over everything the enemy's attacks accomplished in our lives. I
really hope that you and your wife will come to Johannesburg at the end of the
month. My youngest son read your message and he was on the deference
immediately. He said as long as he does not have to stop doing MMA. He only
gets grading in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and according to him it has nothing to do
with any religion. He does have a few karate belts and quite a lot of medals
hanging against his wall. I believe Yahushua will convict him.
I forgot to mention that both my sons got tattoos against
our wishes. Both my sons were baptized in the Name. My oldest lived a very
obscure life for the past 2 and a half years and he is in fear of the
consequences. He fears especially that he may have contracted HIV. I stand on
and declare Yahushua's deliverance and healing. Since his baptism, he cannot go
on that road of obscurity. Now it bothers him. I hope we will meet soon and
praise Yahuah together for the victory He has given us.

Now
with this and many other wonderful heavenly encounters- how can anything go
wrong? Don’t think it strange…BUT- Get ready- the fight of faith with action will be
necessary!
This is where we develop character and our destiny. We will be tried
and tested immediately! Think of Peter walking on the water- a storm
was sent- immediately to take his eyes from the King and His command and
promise- “It is
I Peter, come”. We must grow up spiritually, loved ones!
We
all want the spiritual encounters but is far more important that we develop the maturity and character to
withstand the schemes of hell and ENDURE. His word must remain in us- and we in
Him- then we can ask what we wish and it will be given. For we have need of
Patience- endurance- that we may receive the promise of Yahweh. So why are we immediately challenged when we have these wonderful
prophecies, visitations, promises, visions and dreams?
Here’s why- it is guaranteed
that hasatan comes immediately to steal our promise- he is not scared of us-
but he is terrified of the seed or word/promise of Yahweh taking hold and
producing fruit- some 30, 60, and some 100 fold! He cannot win against the
word- unless he removes the promise by showing us facts different from Yahweh’s
truth- so if we agree with the facts of giants in the land- our King stands
down and lets us follow after facts. We would have chosen the enemy’s plan
likened to the 10 spies. We need to stand and speak the word no matter the
facts. Heaven and earth will pass away- but Yahweh’s word endures FOREVER!
Stand having done all stand- speaking and thinking on the whatever is worthy,
honest and pure, GOOD REPORT- THINK ON- IMAGINE THESE THINGS. We must seek
INTIMACY and RELATIONSHIP with our King- not experiences only. As we seek FIRST
HIM and HIS righteousness- all these other things we desire are wonderful added
benefits!
Mark 4:13
And He said to them, “Do you not understand this
parable? How then shall you understand all the parables? Mark 4:14 “The sower sows the
word. Mark 4:15 “These,
then, are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. And when they hear, Satan comes immediately and
takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. Mark 4:16 “And likewise these
are the ones sown on rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately
receive it with joy, Mark 4:17 and they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived.
Then when pressure or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they
stumble. Mark 4:18 “And others are those sown among thorns, these are they who
hear the word, Mark 4:19 and the worries of this age, and the deceit of riches, and
the desires for other Matthewters, entering in, choke the word, and it
becomes fruitless. Mark 4:20 “And those sown on good soil, are those who hear the word,
and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirtyfold, and some sixty, and some a
hundred.”
Perhaps the
trumpet should be sounded to call us to set apartness in fasting and prayer! The TESTING is coming for all
who dwell on the earth.
(Matthew 6:19) “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, (Matthew 6:20) but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do
not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:21) “For where your treasure is, there your heart
shall be also. (Matthew 6:22) “The lamp of the body is the
eye. If therefore your eye is good, all your body shall be enlightened. (Matthew 6:23) “But if your eye is evil, 1 all
your body shall be darkened. If, then, the light that is within you is
darkness, how great is that darkness! Footnote: 1This is a Hebrew
idiom – a good eye means to be generous, while an evil
eye means to be stingy. (Matthew 6:24) “No one is able to serve two masters, for either
he shall hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one
and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.1 Footnote: 1 Personification
of wealth. (Matthew
6:25) “Because of this I say to
you, do not
worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink, or about your body, what
you shall put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the
clothing? (Matthew 6:26) “Look at the birds of the
heaven, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, yet your
heavenly Father does feed them. Are you not worth more than they? (Matthew 6:27) “And which of you by
worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span? (Matthew 6:28) “So why do you worry about
clothing? Note well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil
or spin, (Matthew 6:29) and I say to you that even
Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these. (Matthew 6:30) “But if Elohim so clothes the
grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the
furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief? (Matthew 6:31) “Do not worry then, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ (Matthew 6:32) “For all these the gentiles
seek for. And your heavenly Father knows that you need all these. (Matthew 6:33) “But seek first the reign of
Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these Matters shall be
added to you. (Matthew 6:34) “Do not, then, worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of
itself.
THINK ON THE SCRIPTURE PROMISES OF YHWH AND
SPEAK THEM- NOT THE FACTS!
(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice
in יהוה always, again I say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:5) Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Master is
near. (Philippians 4:6) Do
not worry at all, (Be anxious for nothing) but
in every Matter, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to Elohim. (Philippians 4:7) And
the peace of Elohim, which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts
and minds through Messiah יהושע. (Philippians 4:8) For the rest, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is clean, whatever is
lovely, whatever is of good report,
if there is any uprightness and if there is any praise – think (Imagine) on these. (The Scripture
Promises)
DO NOT FEAR- BUT ONLY BELIEVE! Good advice from Yahshua is for us today as we will be
tested with apparently overwhelming storms and facts; (Mark 5:35) as He was speaking, they came from the ruler of the
congregation’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is
dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” (Mark 5:36) Having heard the
word that was spoken, יהושע said to the ruler of the congregation, “Do not be afraid – only believe.”
ASV (Mark
5:35) While he yet
spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying, thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher
any further? (Mark 5:36) But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken,
saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.
We will need YHWH’s power to walk and produce fruit during these
months preceding the 42 months of Great Tribulation when the anti-messiah
(antichrist) rules after he takes away the daily sacrifice. (Daily
offering not started up again in Israel yet) This is who we become: the 2 witnesses in HIS HAND- JUDAH & EPHRAIM! Hallelu-Yah-
let us repent continually; draw near and know our Elohim!
As a quick review from last week; let’s look again at several
Scripture Versions:
KJV (Daniel
11:31) and arms shall
stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall
take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that
maketh desolate. (Daniel 11:32) And such as do wickedly against the
covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
ASV (Daniel
11:31) and forces shall
stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and
shall take away the continual burnt-offering,
and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate. (Daniel 11:32) And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he
pervert by flatteries; but the
people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
The Scriptures (Daniel 11:31) “And
strong ones shall arise from him and profane the set-apart place, the
stronghold, and shall take away that which is continual, and set up the
abomination that lays waste1. Footnote: 1 See 8:13, 9:27, Matthew 24:15. (Daniel 11:32) “And by flatteries he shall profane those who do wrong
against the covenant, but the people
who know their Elohim shall be strong, and shall act.
WE will do exploits as we yield and submit to His word
and become our destiny- no more dry bones but A MIGHTY WITNESS IN HIS HANDS!
(Ezekiel 37:1) The
hand of יהוה was
upon me and took me out by the Spirit of יהוה, and set me down in the midst of the valley. And it was filled
with bones. (Ezekiel 37:2) And He made me pass among them, all
around, and see, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and see,
they were very dry. (Ezekiel 37:3) And He said to me, “Son of man, would
these bones live?” And I said, “O Master יהוה, you know.” (Ezekiel 37:4) Again
He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and you shall say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of יהוה! (Ezekiel 37:5) ‘Thus said the Master יהוהto these bones, “See, I am bringing into you a
spirit, and you shall live. (Ezekiel 37:6) “And
I shall put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, and cover you with skin and
put a spirit in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am יהוה.”’”
Apparently it will seem hopeless as our
expectancy will be cut off! (Such as reported “facts” as mentioned above) Without
hope we will be faithless as faith is the thing “hoped for” or the Scripture
promise not yet seen!
(Ezekiel 37:11) And
He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are all the house of Yisra’ĕl. See,
they say, ‘Our bones
are dry, our expectancy has perished, and we ourselves have been cut off!’ (Ezekiel 37:12) “Therefore prophesy, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus
said the Master יהוה, “See, O My people, I am opening your graves, and shall bring
you up from your graves, and shall bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl. (Ezekiel 37:13) “And you shall
know that I am יהוה, when I open your graves, O My people, and bring you up from
your graves. (Ezekiel
37:14) “And I shall put My Spirit in you,
and you shall live, and I shall settle you in your own land. And you shall know
that I יהוה have spoken, and I have done it,” declares יהוה.’”
Our scattering will soon end as we are being restored! We
WILL become mighty witnesses and do exploits and be returned to the mountains
of Israel
(Ezekiel 37:15) And
the word of יהוה
