Bible Verses: Matthew 5:8, Psalm 34:18, Hebrews 3:15, Proverbs 28:14

Reflection: John 10:27-29

Dear YAHUAH, 

Thank You for this gift of another day and a good nights rest.   Be with us today on our journey here, watch over us and may Your Face shine upon us, may Your Hands guide and protect us.   We commit this day to you.

May our hearts be truly motivated, may our hearts be turned to You, may our hearts be invested in You.   We want to be hungry for You, may we be pure and broken hearted.  Create in us a clean heart, oh YAHUAH.   Help us to examine our hearts and show us the areas in our lives where we fall short.   May we be focused upon You at all times.   Life is so short here, but so precious.  This world is only temporary, help us to guard your Word and Your Commands.  

We seek an intimate relationship with You, Your beloved Son - YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH, and may we be filled with Your RUACH HA'QODESH.   Help us to not be distracted by the ways and things of this world.   Remove any Spiritual Blindness we have, remove any hardness we have within our hearts.

We lift this day and prayer to You in the powerful of Your Beloved Son, YAHUSHA.

Amein and Amein.

 Bible Verses: Romans 6, Romans 7, Isaiah 48:17, Luke 10:19, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Ephesians 6:10, James 5:7

Dear Yahuah,

We come before You on this new day, feeling refreshed from a good nights rest and enjoyable weekend.   Thank you for safety while traveling so that we could spend time with family and friends.   May we be blessed today and may we be a blessing unto others.

We pray that You would not let us be worn out by the enemy.   We pray your people be broken of any emotional fatigue they are feeling.   We speak to fear and fatigue, "We command you to leave in the name of YAHUSHA's name."

We pray for the protection of the people of Ukraine, we pray for a revival to occur in both the Ukraine and Russia.  We ask that You release Your Judgment upon the enemy. 

We decree your assembly, here and the other nations, will not falter or fail.   We live in a fallen world, a world of deception, a world under attack from evil forces of darkness, a world that offers many distractions and temptations.   We need Your RUACH, we need Your wisdom and discernment.   Teach us what is best for us, teach us the direction to go, help us to be righteous in Your eyes, help us not desire the ways of the flesh.  

We want to be seen right with You.  Oh YAHUAH, may we be righteous instead of self-righteous.   When we are tempted, show us the path out.  Teach us to live a righteous life, guide us to be obedient to Your Word, help us feed our faith.  May we be blind to our vision and flesh, may we keep our Faith in You always.  We choose to stand upon the Solid Rock of YAHUSHA, all other ground is sinking sand.

Thank You YAHUAH, that You never change.   Your Love for Your people is the same today as it has been in the past.   Thank You that we can depend upon You at all times.   You are our all-in-all, You are our Waymaker, our light in the darkness, You are our ABBA FATHER.   May we hold unto You and cling to You, Our Savior and Redeemer, the Lion of Yehuḏah, the Prince of Peace, oh YAHUSHA.

We thank You for Your blessings, we thank You for where You have brought us from, and for where You are leading us.   Thank You that You have shown favor upon us and You have shown us Grace and Mercy.   YAHUSHA, we shall wait for You.  Even though this world is dark; filled with pain, suffering, injustice, and uncertainty, we shall wait for You.  Though we do not know the day or hour, we choose to wait for you.   May we remain faithful as we wait, may we find Your Shalom and Joy.  May we produce good fruit at all times for You, may we persevere in these times.

Amein and Amein.

Bible Verses: Psalm 27:13-14, Luke 10:17, Matthew 17:20, Hebrews 11:1, Romans 8:26

Dear YAHUAH,

Thank You for safe travels yesterday and thank You for a restful Sabbath.   Thank You for the fellowship that we were able to share with others.   We pray for safety as we travel today, send your angels before us to prepare the way for us.

Oh YAHUAH, at times it is hard waiting upon your answers to prayer, there are times it seems to take to long.   Help us, instruct us, and teach us to be patient according to your will.   You are our all in all, you are our waymaker, you are our light in the darkness.   Help us to focus upon you and not be distracted, draw us nearer to you.  You know the beginning from the end and you know what is best for us at the proper times.  Help us be patient as we wait.

We ask you to remove our fears and our doubts, let us not be in despair.   We thank You that you are in control, may we look to YAHUSHA, our savior and deliverer.  YAHUSHA, You are our hope, our Shepherd, and High Priest.   You have given us the power to trample upon serpents and scorpions.   You have given us the power and authority to overcome the enemy.   May we trust you and be obedient to You at all times.   Help us to be strong when we feel weak.

We ask Your RUACH's guidance to aide us in making right decisions.   May our eyes be focused upwards at all times.   May we be faithful and produce good fruit.  We place our faith and trust in You, oh YAHUAH, as You have a plan and You will be faithful to complete it until the end.  We thank You that the battle has been won already, You have overcome this world through your only begotten Son, YAHUSHA.   HalleluYAH. 

ABBA FATHER, thank You for Your RUACH's help when we do not know what to pray, for Your RUACH will interceded upon our behalf with moans and groans.

Amein and Amein.

Prayer for Saturday, March 5, 2022

 Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 11:28, Lamentations 3:40, Proverbs 15:3, Psalm 32:7

Torah Portion Reading: Pekudei - "Accounts"   Exodus 38:21 - 40:38 

Dear YAHUAH,

Thank You for this Sabbath day, may we find Shalom and rest this Sabbath.   We ask that You would bless this day and the time we will be reading or listening to Your Word.   We ask that You would teach us and meet us, we ask Your RUACH HA'QODESH illuminate the Scripture passages for us, and we commit to obey the words which we have read.   

We ask that You would help us self-examine ourselves.   Help us look into our spiritual mirror, help us see our true heart, and may we be a reflection of YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH.   If we fall short, let Your RUACH expose those areas.  Help us to see sin as sin,  Search us, oh YAHUAH, may all that we do, be for Your glory.   May we be obedient to  Your Word.   Help us examine the friendships that we have, show us if they are healthy or not. Help us to examine all of our thoughts that are ungodly, help us to be transparent, and help us judge ourselves honestly.

May we be doers of Your Word, and not listeners.   

ABBA FATHER, You know the times we have sought to piece our lives together without You.  Help us forsake our misguided plans for safety and run swiftly to You.

Amein and Amein.

Scriptural Definitions and Boundaries

With my first writing, I would like to set scriptural definitions and boundaries that will be used in future writings.  I believe we should let scriptures define scriptures, we need to test the RUACH of all things we hear against scriptures.   All verses come from "the Scriptures 2009" version.

  • What is Scripture? (YAHUSHA's/Jesus's definition).
    • Luke 24:44    And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Mosheh (Moses) and the Prophets and the Tehillim (Psalms) concerning Me.”
    • Luke 24:45   Then He (YAHUSHA) opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
  • TORAH --- the Instructions in YAHUAH's (YHWH) Righteousness
    • 2 Timothy 3:16   All Scripture is breathed out by Elohim (God/YAHUAH) and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, 
    • Romans 10:5   For Moshe writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah (the Law, the first five books of the Old Testament), “The man who does these shall live by them.” (see Leviticus 18:5)
  • YHWH (YAHUAH) Does not Change - Ever
    • Hebrews 13:8   יהושע Messiah (YAHUSHA HA'MASSIACH) is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
    • Malachi 3:6   “For I am יהוה (YAHUAH) , I shall not change, and you, O sons of Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob/Israel), shall not come to an end. 
  • YHWH (YAHUAH) Does not Lie
    • Numbers 23:19   Ěl (YAHUAH) is not a man, to lie; nor a son of man, to repent! Has He said, and would He not do it; or spoken, and would not confirm it? 
  • It is Impossible for the Scriptures to be broken
    • John 10:35   “If He called them elohim (gods), to whom the word of Elohim (YAHUAH/God)  came – and it is impossible for the Scripture to be broken –
  • The Torah is perfect
    • Psalm 19:7   The Torah of יהוה (YAHUAH) is perfect, bringing back the being; The witness of יהוה (YAHUAH) is trustworthy, making wise the simple; 
      • Perfect (H8549) is the English word for the Hebrew word taw'meem (tamiym): without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly), whole.
  • Torah is Established
    • Romans 3:31   Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.
    • Kings James Version: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
  • YAHUSHA Created All Things
    • Ephesians 3:9   and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through יהושע (YAHUSHA) Messiah.
    • Colossians 1:16  Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. 
  • We Go Astray not Knowing the Scriptures
    • Matthew 22:29   And יהושע (YAHUSHA) answering, said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of Elohim (YAHUAH).
  • A Righteous Definition (Torah Keeping)
    • Isaiah 51:7   “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My Torah: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings.
  • A Rebellion Definition (Refusing to Hear Torah)
    • Isaiah 30:9   that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who refuse to hear the Torah of יהוה, (YAHUAH) 
  • "The Wrong" Definition (Forsaking the Torah)
    • Psalm 119:53   Rage has seized me because of the wrong (wicked) who forsake Your Torah.
  • It is Righteous for Us to Guard all His Commands
    • Deuteronomy 6:24   And יהוה (YAHUAH) commanded us to do all these laws, to fear יהוה (YAHUAH) our Elohim, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today.
    • Deuteronomy 6:25   And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה (YAHUAH) our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’
  • Confirmed by the Prophets
    • Amos 3:7   For the Master יהוה (YAHUAH) does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 
      • Everything in the Renewed Covenant Writings (the New Testament) must be confirmed by the Prophets
        • Safety Net
        • Litmus Test
  • A Definition of Sin (Torah breaking, Lawlessness, Transgression, Iniquity)
    • 1 John 3:4   Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. (without Torah)
    • Isaiah 42:24   ho gave Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob) for plunder, and Yisra’ěl (Israel) to the robbers? Was it not יהוה, (YAHUAH) He against whom we sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, and they did not obey His Torah! 
    • Not obeying Torah is Lawlessness
  • We are to Walk the Ancient Paths
    • Jeremiah 6:16   Thus said יהוה (YAHUAH) , “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in it.’ 
    • Jeremiah 18:15   “But My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to what is false, and they have stumbled from their ways, from the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths and not on a highway, 
    • The old ways are the ways of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ... the Way of the TORAH
  • Yahusha - Is the "Walking-Talking Torah"
    • Isaiah 2:2   And it shall be in the latter days that the mountain of the House of יהוה (YAHUAH) is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it. 
    • Isaiah 2:3 And many peoples shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of יהוה (YAHUAH), to the House of the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ (Jacob), and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths, for out of Tsiyon (Zion) comes forth the Torah, and the Word of יהוה (YAHUAH) from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).” 
      • Footnote: His ways, His paths, the teaching and the Word of YAHUAH are used synonymously
    • Isaiah 2:4   And He shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples. And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither teach battle any more. 
  • YAHUSHA is the Word of YUHUAH)
    • Revelation 19:13   and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood – and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה (YAHUAH).
    • This directly ties YAHUSHA being the Walking Torah (Isaiah 2:3).   The Word is the Torah
  • YAHUSHA is the Goal of the Torah
    • Romans 10:4   For Messiah is the goal of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’ to everyone who believes. 
    • Footnote for goal: or end purpose; not termination.
    • The definition of Righteousness is Torah in your heart
  • We are to Imitate YAHUSHA
    • 1 John 2:3   And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.
    • 1 John 2:4   The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

    • John 14:22   Yehuḏah (Judas) – not the one from Qerioth (Iscariot) – said to Him, “Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” 
    • John 14:23    יהושע (YAHUSHA) answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.
    • John 14:24 He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.
  • YAHUSHA did not come with a "New Gospel".
    • John 5:19   Therefore יהושע (YAHUSHA) responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does.  
    •  Matthew 5:17   “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete.

    • John 16:11   concerning judgment because the ruler of this world is judged.  
      • Lk 4:6
  • Torah is Truth
    •  Psalm 119:142   Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.
  • Torah is still in effect
    • Matthew 5:17   “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. 
      • Footnote: The Law and the Prophets is a term used for the pre-Messianic Scriptures. 
    • Matthew 5:18   “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.   
    • Look around - Heaven and Earth are still in existence.   So is the Torah of Moseh.
  • Entering the Reign of Elohim
    • Matthew 7:21   “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. 
    • Matthew 7:22   “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ 
    • Matthew 7:23   “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’   (without Torah)
      • The word lawlessness translates from the Greek word anomia.   
      • STRONGS G458:
        ἀνομία-ας, (ἄνομος);
        1. properly, the condition of one without law — either because ignorant of it, or because violating it.
        2. contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness:
  • The Desire of YAHUAH.
    •  Matthew 7:21   “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.
      • Romans 2:18   and know the desire of Elohim, and approve what is superior, being instructed out of the Torah
      • Romans 2:13   For not the hearers of the Torah are righteous in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the Torah shall be declared right.
  • Eternal Life Requires Belief and Obedience
    • John 3:36    “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”   
    • James 2:17   So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. 
    • James 2:18   But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works.
    • James 2:24   You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone.
    • James 2:26   For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the belief is dead without the works.   
    • From a Hebrew perspective, if you say you believe, then it is automatically assumed that you obey.   Belief gets you into the Kingdom.   Obedience keeps you inside of the Kingdom.   Obedience proves your Belief.
      • Revelation 22:14
  • The Final Judgement
    • Yahushua is the Right Hand of the Father YAHUAH.   He created the heavens and the earth, and He will judge the world in Righteousness.   Isaiah 51:7 states that righteousness is Torah in your heart and Isaiah 30:9 states that rebellion is turning your back on the Torah.
    • Acts 17:31   because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
    • Yahushua is this Righteous Judge, and the following verses provide a brief glimpse of how He will judge all men at the end of time:
      • John 5:44 “How are you able to believe, when you are receiving esteem from one another, and the esteem that is from the only Elohim you do not seek? 
      • John 5:45  “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Mosheh (the Torah), in whom you have set your expectation. 
      • John 5:46  “For if you believed Mosheh (the Torah), you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me (the walking and talking Torah). 
      • John 5:47  “But if you do not believe his writings (the Torah of Mosheh), how shall you believe My words (the walking and Talking Torah)?”
  • Warning for Yude (Jude)
    • Jude 1:3   Beloved ones, making all haste to write to you concerning our common deliverance, I felt the necessity to write to you urging you to earnestly contend for the belief which was once for all delivered to the set-apart ones. 
    • Jude 1:4   For certain men have slipped in, whose judgment was written about long ago, wicked ones perverting the favor of our Elohim for indecency, and denying the only Master יהוה (Yahuah) and our Master יהושע (Yahushua) Messiah.
      • Lawlessness -> Matt 13, 2 Thes 2
  • Warning from Keepha (Peter)
    • 2 Peter 3:15   and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul (Paul) wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,    
    • 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures.  
      • 1 Corinthians 11:6
    • 2 Peter 3:17   You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch, lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless, (Torahless)
  • What YAHUAH declares Unclean - Remains Unclean
    • Job 14:4   Who brings the clean out of the unclean? No one! 
  • Saved by Faith - Obedience Proves your Faith
    • John 3:36   “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.” 
    • James 2:17  So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead.  
    • James 2:18   But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. 
  • Sha'ul's View of Torah
    • Romans 7:12   So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous, and good
    • Romans 7:16   But if I do what I do not wish, I agree with the Torah that it is good. 
    • Romans 7:22   For I delight in the Torah of Elohim according to the inward man,
      • Ps 119:16
    • Romans 8:4   so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 
    • Acts 21:24   “Take them and be cleansed with them, and pay their expenses so that they shave their heads. And all shall know that what they have been informed about you is not so, but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah.
  • Quote from Matthew Nolan, Torah to the Tribes, from his Mystery of the Melchizedek series, Part 1 - The Introduction.
    • Grace is the empowerment to live a holy and righteous life in a sick and twisted world.   The Western Christian Church isn't under YAHUAH's grace ... they're under His mercy ... the withholding of deserved judgment!   If they where under His grace they wouldn't be violating the law... because grace empowers you to keep the law and live a holy, just, righteous life.   Grace is what empowers you to keep the commandment, it doesn't allow you to live a lawless life of Church tradition.   Grace is what convicts us to continue on to our higher calling?   The Malki (the Kingdom of YAHUAH) Tzedik (Righteousness) covenant calling!

 Bible Verses:  Matthew 7:24-27, Matthew 6:21, 25-27, 34, Psalm 118:24, John 6:68-69

Dear YAHUAH,

As the psalmist writes, "Today is a day that YAHUAH has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."   We thank you for this day, may we glorify Your Name in all we do, say and think..   

This country is fallen, the enemy has taken a foothold upon us.   We can no longer be silent about the path this country has taken.   We prayer for our children's and grandchildren's future that is slowly being destroyed.   We must remember that all we see in the physical realm is a result of what is happening in the spiritual realm.   We have become a nation without borders, a nation being inflicted with a steady increase in the rate of inflation, a nation that has been forced to once again rely upon other nations for fossil fuels, good has become evil and evil has become good, our government and education system continue to fuel division amongst Your people, a news media that can not be trusted, and a nation that promotes abortion.   We repent for this nation and ask You to forgive us for turning our backs upon You.   We have elected officials who are more concerned about their own futures instead of the people they represent, political officials who are trying to force there political agenda upon the people at all costs.

We believe in miracles and that You can change this country if your people repent, if they return to You, and they call upon Your name.   The fate of this country needs Your intervention.  We call upon Your Name, oh YAHUAH, we pray for miracles to take place so the people may see your Almighty Hand at work and believe in You.   Forgive this nation for mocking You and dishonoring You.   Cover this nation with Your mercy and heal this land.   We pray for the lost souls that they may be saved.   We pray in agreement that all nations belong to YAHUSHA, may we see miracles and a great revival in YAHUSHA's name..  Break the hold of the evil principalities against this nation. 

We pray for the country of Ukraine to be restored and an end to this war.   Innocent people are caught in the middle and losing their lives.   We pray for protection of the people of Ukraine.

We decree the Blood of YAHUSHA is greater than all of our sin.   Our soul has a longing for You, for our Savior.   Free us of our pains, free of us our burdens, and we ask You to take our yokes from us.   May we be a wise believer, may our foundation be strong and built upon our rock, YAHUSHA.   We seek a safe refuge in our HA'MASSIACH, our redeemer and deliverer, who's name is YAHUSHA, the Son of ELOHIYM.

Thank you that You do not let us fail.  If we fall down, You are there to encourage us on and pick us up.   Remove the fears, worries, and anxieties that we may hold within us.   We seek Your Shalom and Joy.    We thank You for Your goodness and provision.   May we trust You in all things and may we turn to you in prayer.   May we walk by faith and not by sight.  

We love you, dear YAHUAH, may we want You as our greatest love.   Show us how we can become more like you everyday.   Help us to align our priorities with Your will.   Help us to store up treasures in Heaven.   Help us to live for You.   You are our greatest treasure that we could ever seek.

Amein and Amein.

Bible Verses: Psalm 18:6, Psalm 27:7, Romans 7:18, Proverbs 24:16, Psalm 16:8, 1 Samuel 23:16,                    2 Thessalonians 2:16  

Dear Yahuah, 

We thank You and praise You for this new day.   Watch over us as we make today's journey.  May we be blessed and may we be a blessing to those You place in our paths.

Thank You for your intervention on the Bill that was voted down in the Senate yesterday regarding on-demand abortion.   We lift up to you our Supreme Court Justices to You, that You would awaken them to the evil of abortion.  Change and transform those that You need, so that five Justices can make the decision to reverse Roe vs Wade.   We ask and pray for a revival amongst our elected officials, as well as this nation.

We lift up the people of Ukraine to you.   Protect them and bring an end to this war.   Expose the evil and lies involved.

Help us to be strong, lift us up and place us upon the wings of eagles.   Empower us with your RUACH HA'QODESH.   Hear our prayers and reach your hand out to us, help us to face the things we are struggling with and unable to do on our own.   May we not stumble, but be overcomers in the mighty name of YAHUSHA, may YAHUSHA be our steady and firm ground.   Help us to be patient and wait upon You.   Help us to be consistent in our walk,  May YAHUSHA our focus as we walk through this journey, may we set You always before us in both good and bad times.  Thank You for being at our right hand, so that we may not be shaken.

Oh loving YAHUAH, there is nothing like the encouragement You give.   Please give us opportunities to help others and to find strength in You.  Help us to reach our greatest potential.

Amein and Amein,

Upcoming Blogs for March

 Brothers and Sisters,

We have been asked to test the RUACH at all times, this includes words spoken by others.  We need to be diligent in doing our own research to verify what we learn and hear aligns with the Word of YAHUAH.   I also challenge you to verify what I write, to insure it aligns with Scriptures, and if I am in error, please let me know in brotherly love.  I am not perfect, but only sharing what I believe to be true from my own research.   We are all learning together.  As Scripture tells us, Iron sharpens Iron.   The intent of my Blog is to help us all grow in our Spiritual Walk and grow into a deeper and more intimate relationship (and understanding) with our Creator and Savior.

It has been placed upon my heart to look at 2 specific areas that do not align with what I have been taught in the past.

  • The last week of YAHUSHA's walk upon this earth as a man of flesh and blood, beginning with Palm Sunday and ending with his Resurrection.  I believe we should let Scripture define  Scripture.  
  • I had been challenged by the below verses:
    • Matthew 7:21-23  (TS2009 - The Scriptures 2009 version)
      • Mat 7:21  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. 
      • Mat 7:22  “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ 
      • Mat 7:23  “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’
    • Revelation 22:14
      • (ESV)  Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
      • (KJV)  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
      • (TPT)  Wonderfully blessed are those who wash their robes white so they can access the Tree of Life and enter the city of bliss by its open gates.
      • (TS2009)  “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city.

Shalom.

Are we near the Last Days?

In the past, I have pondered, how close are we to the end of times in respect to our creators time.  After watching several YouTube videos r...
