WHEN IN DOUBT...TORAH!!!

Ezr 7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Torah of YAHWEH, and to do it, and to teach statutes and judgments in Israel.

Neh 8:3 And he read in it (Torah) before the wide sanctuary plaza, before the Water Gate, from the morning until noon, before the men and the women, and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people listened to the Book of the Torah.

Neh 8:7 And Yeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the Torah. And the people were in their place.

Neh 8:8 And they read aloud clearly in the Book, in the Torah of The Elohim, and they gave the sense, and caused them to discern the reading.
Neh 8:9 And Nehemiah the governor, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to YAHWEH your Elohim. Do not mourn or weep, For all the people wept when they heard the Words of the Torah.

Neh 8:13 And on the second day the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe even to intelligently understand and draw near to the Words of the Torah.

Neh 9:3 And they stood up in their place and read in the Book of the Torah of YAHWEH their Elohim a fourth part of the day. And a fourth part they confessed and worshiped YAHWEH their Elohim.

Neh 10:28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple-slaves, and all those who separated from the people of the lands to the Torah of The Elohim, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, all knowing and discerning ones,

Neh 10:29 making strong their brothers, their honored ones; and were entering into a curse and into an oath, to walk in The Elohim's Torah which was given by Moses the servant of The Elohim, and to keep and to do all the commandments of YAHWEH our Master, and His judgments and His statutes.

Psa 1:2 But his delight is only in the Torah of YAHWEH, and he meditates in His Torah day and night.

Psa 19:7 The Torah of YAHWEH is perfect, converting the soul. The Testimony of YAHWEH is sure, making the simple wise.

Psa 37:31 The Torah of his Elohim is in his heart; his steps do not slide.

Psa 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O My Elohim; and Your Torah is within My inmost soul.

Psa 78:1 [A Lesson of Asaph.] O my people, give ear to my Torah; bow your ears to the words of my mouth.

Psa 119:1 ALEPH: Blessed are the upright in the way, who walk in the Torah of YAHWEH.

Psa 119:34 Make me understand and I will keep Your Torah, and observe it with the whole heart.

Psa 119:44 And I shall keep Your Torah continually, forever and ever.

Psa 119:55 O YAHWEH, I have remembered Your name in the night and have kept Your Torah.

Psa 119:77 Let Your mercies come to me that I may live; for Your Torah is my delight.

Psa 119:97 MEM: Oh how I love Your Torah! It is my meditation all the day.

Psa 119:142 Your righteousness is forever, and Your Torah is truth.

Psa 119:165 Great peace is to those who love Your Torah, and there is no stumbling block to them.

Psa 119:174 I have longed for Your salvation (Y'shua*), O YAHWEH; and Your Torah is my delight.

THANKS BE TO YHVH!

Rom 6:17 But thanks be to YAHWEH that you were slaves of sin, but you obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

Rom 6:18 And having been set free from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness.

1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet; for a trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.

1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 But when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then will take place the Word that has been written, "Death was swallowed up in victory." (Isa. 25:8)
1Co 15:55 "O death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" (Hos. 13:14)
1Co 15:56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law;
1Co 15:57 but thanks be to YAHWEH who gives us the victory through our Master Yeshua Messiah!
1Co 15:58 So that, my beloved brothers, you be firm, immovable, abounding in the work of YAHWEH always, knowing that your labor is not without fruit in the Master YAHWEH.

2Co 2:14 But thanks be to YAHWEH, the One always leading us in triumph in Messiah, and the One revealing through us the odor of the knowledge of Him in every place.

2Co 2:15 For we are a sweet smell to YAHWEH because of Messiah in those being saved, and in those being lost;
2Co 2:16 to the one, an odor of death unto death, and to the other, an odor of life unto life. And who is worthy for these things?
2Co 2:17 For we are not as the many, peddling the Word of YAHWEH; but according to the truth, as men of YAHWEH, we speak through Messiah, in the sight of Elohim.

2Co 8:11 But now also finish the work which you wished to do, so that even as there was the eagerness in the willing, so also the finishing, giving out of what you have.

2Co 8:12 For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
2Co 8:13 This is not intended to relieve others, but add a burden to you;
2Co 8:14 but by equality in the present time, your abundance for their need; but also that their abundance may be for your need, that there may be equality.
2Co 8:15 Even as it has been written, "He gathering much, he had nothing left over, and he gathering little had no less." (Ex. 16:18)
2Co 8:16 But thanks be to YAHWEH, who gave the same earnest care for you in the heart of Titus.
2Co 8:17 For truly he accepted our appeal, but being even more desirous, he went out to you of his own accord.

2Co 9:10 Now He that supplies seed to the Sower and bread for eating, may He supply and multiply your seed and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
2Co 9:11 in everything you being enriched to all sincerity, which works out thanksgiving to YAHWEH through us.

2Co 9:12 Because the ministry of this service is not only making up the things lacking of the saints, but also multiplying through many thanksgivings to YAHWEH,
2Co 9:13 through the proof of this charitable service, they glorifying YAHWEH by your freely expressed submission to the good news of Messiah, and through your generosity you have become partakers with them and with all men;
2Co 9:14 and they offer prayer on your behalf with greater love, because of the overflowing grace of YAHWEH which is on you.
2Co 9:15 But thanks be to YAHWEH for His unspeakable free gift.

WE HAVE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT VERSES WITH MANY OF THE SAME HEBRAIC CONCEPTS...IN THE FIRST ONE, WE KNOW, IF WE, AS YHVH'S PEOPLE, #1 HUMBLE OURSELVES; #2 PRAY; #3 SEEK YHVH'S FACE; AND #4 TURN FROM OUR EVIL WAYS...THEN YHVH WILL #1 HEAR FROM HEAVEN; #2 FORGIVE OUR SIN; AND #3 HEAL OUR LAND.
IN THE 2ND ONE, IF WE WOULD #1 HEAR YHVH; AND #2 WALK IN HIS WAYS, THEN YHVH WILL, #1 SUBDUE OUR ENEMIES; AND #2 TURN HIS HAND AGAINST OUR FOES!

WHEN WE WANT ALMIGHTY YHVH TO BECKON UNTO US - WE MUST FIRST BECKON UNTO HIM - WE MUST ALWAYS DO OUR PART FIRST IN ORDER FOR HIM TO DO HIS PART FOR US!

WITH THE CONDITION OUR NATION IS IN, AND IN THE DIRECTION IT IS HEADING, MY HEART'S CRY ARE THESE TWO VERSES OF SCRIPTURE!

LET US BE FOUND HUMBLING OURSELVES, PRAYING, SEEKING HIS FACE, TURNING FOR OUR EVIL AND SINFUL WAYS; HEARING YHVH AND WALKING IN HIS WAYS - DAILY!

B'SHEM YESHUA HAMASHIACH!

remember this...

In this day of "Noah" where anything and everything goes...we must remember this:

#1 YHVH does not change

#2 YHVH does not lie

#3 YESHUA is the same yesterday, today and forever

#4 YHVH'S covenant with us is fixed and cannot be changed or altered

#5 YHVH will judge each of us through His Son, whether we are His or not; those in Him, to eternity in heaven, and those not in Him, to eternal destruction in hell...

Num 23:19 El is not a man that He should lie, or a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it? And has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Psa 89:34 I will not profane My covenant, nor change what goes from My lips.

Mal 3:6 For I am YAHWEH, I do not change. Because of this, you sons of Jacob are not destroyed.

Gal 3:15 My brothers, I speak as a man. Even though it be a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man can reject it or change anything in it.

Heb 6:17 Therefore, YAHWEH, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, He sealed it by an oath;
Heb 6:18 so that, by the promise and the oath which change not, and in which Elohim cannot lie, we find courage to hold fast to the hope that has been promised to us by Him in whom we have taken refuge;
Heb 6:19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, both certain and sure, and it enters into that within the veil, (Lev. 16:12)
Heb 6:20 where Yeshua entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 13:8 Yeshua Messiah, the same yesterday and today and forever.

Jas 1:17 every act of good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Heavenly lights, with whom is no change or shifting shadow...

today is the day of salvation!!!

 

STAND ON THIS!

Isa 14:24 YAHWEH of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, it shall rise up;
Isa 14:25 to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed on all the earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
Isa 14:27 For YAHWEH of Hosts has purposed. And who shall reverse it? And His hand is stretched out. Who shall turn it back?

Let us amplify the lesson in this portion of scripture:

as YHVH "has sworn" = as He makes what He says complete; as He "sevens" Himself, or swears by repeating a declaration 7 times...and takes and completes an oath...

and He goes on to say - "surely as I have thought" or as surely as I have compared and considered and devised...

so shall it be = it will be; it will become; it will come to pass; it will be accomplished; it will follow; it will happen; it will continue...

and as I have purposed it = as I have advised; as I have deliberated; as I have resolved; as I have counseled; as I have determined; as I have devised...

it shall rise up = it shall rise; it shall accomplish; it shall be confirmed; it shall be decreed; it shall continue; it shall endure; it shall be performed; it shall be established; it shall be sure; it shall succeed...

He breaks and He tramples on those who are His enemies - on those who are our enemies...

and this is the purpose = this is His plan; His advisement; His counsel...

that He purposed on the earth!

and this is His Hand stretched out = this is His Hand that is spread about...

For YHVH Tzava'ot, the L-rd G-d of Hosts, has purposed it!

and who shall reverse it? who shall break it up? break it asunder? who shall frustrate His plan? who can cause to cease what He has purposed? who can dissolve it? who can make it of no effect? who can make it void? who can bring it to naught? who can make it fail??? NOT ONE!!!

who can turn it back? who can make YHVH start all over by making Him go back to the starting point? Who can make YHVH retreat? NO, NOT ONE!

LET US BE ENCOURAGED TODAY BY THIS PROMISE - AS YHVH THINKS, SO SHALL IT BE FOR US! AND AS HE HAS PURPOSED FOR US, SO SHALL IT RISE UP! AND NOTHING, OR NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT!!!

The creative cycle of words...

do you realize when a magician says "abracadabra" he is essentially saying "abarah k dabarah" or "bara dabar" which, in Hebrew means, "creating with a word???"
"now, you see it...now, you don't"
 or "now, you don't see it, and now, you do..."
are you beginning to see where this message is going?
if I said "in the beginning" would you be with me?
because in the beginning Elohim (G-d) said "let be" and "there was!"
whatever He spoke/speaks, is/was created!
now, you don't see it...and now, you do!!! bara dabar!
and even on a more positive note...
2 sam.7:24-25; 1 kings 8:25-26; 1 chr. 17:22-23 says Elohim confirms and establishes His Word forever, so not only does He speak it, but he confirms and establishes it and it's forever! that means He accomplishes it; He performs it; and He completes it...
that's His promise to you and I...when he gives us a prophetic word, or a word of wisdom, or a word of knowledge, just like at creation - HE WILL BRING IT TO PASS - HE WILL FINISH WHAT HIS WORD IS TO US!
our job is to wait and hope and trust...

Ps. 119:38 says He makes His Word sure to His servants - His Word to us is trustworthy - He is not a man that He would lie...
Ps. 119:49 says that He remembers His Word to His servants - He never forgets His promises to us!
Ps. 119:89 says His Word for us is settled in heaven! His Word for us is fixed; it's permanent; it can't be altered or changed! sometimes though, when He releases His Word and His promises to us, they have to come through the heavenlies and the adversary runs interference and tries to make us weary in well doing as we wait for YHVH'S promises to be fulfilled in our lives! But we must not give up! we must fight and take possession of the blessings we know He has promised us!
Ps. 138:1-2 says that Elohim has magnified His Word above His Name and when we thank Him with our whole heart; and we sing our praise to Him; and we worship Him in His holy sanctuary; and give thanks to His Name for His mercy and His truth, the Word He magnifies is for our blessing and benefit!
Isa. 43:25 tells us to put Him in remembrance of His Word! He tells us our trespasses are blotted out; He tells us He doesn't remember our sins - He invites us to enter into judgment with Him, through His Son, Messiah Yeshua, and in the end we are justified! we are served the "not guilty" verdict and that is the sum of our salvation through Messiah!
Isa. 55:10-11 assures us the Word, which Elohim speaks goes forth from His mouth - it goes out and does what He sends it out to do and doesn't come back to Him empty or void! bara dabar! It accomplishes; finishes; completes...well, you get the picture!!!and not only does that Word accomplish what it was sent out to do - it also prospers in what it was sent out to do - and that's for our benefit and blessing alone!!! amein vaya amein...
Jer. 1:12 says YHVH watches over His Word to perform it! He watches over His Word to bring it to life; to bring it into fruition for us!
Ez. 12:25 says YHVH will speak, and the Word He speaks shall be done! bara dabar!!!

the bittersweet thing about this message and the power in these scriptures, though, is that just as YHVH'S Word has cyclical and creative power...so do our words...

Mt. 12:35-37 says every word, whatever we speak, we will have to give an account for - and by our words we will be justified or condemned...
James 1:26 says if any of us think we are ministers unto Elohim and we don't restrain our tongues, we deceive ourselves and our ministry is in vain...
James 3:5-11 basically tells us the tongue, which creates and forms our words from our thoughts and our hearts is a little member; it boasts great things; it's a world of fire; it can defile our whole body; it can set on fire the course of our lives; and by it we bless Elohim and those made in His image; and out of it comes blessing and cursing...
Pro. 18:21 says that life and death are in the power of the tongue...
Eccl. 5:2 says we must let our words be few -
and 1 Pet. 3:10 says we must restrain our tongue from speaking evil and our lips from speaking guile...

bara dabar! just as YHVH'S Word has wonderful, creative, cyclical power, so do the words that come out of our mouths...

we must remember, every word that we speak, or every Word that YHVH speaks, has a cycle of completion to fulfill...
words are powerful; words are creative; and words are eternal - and they essentially form a circle...they go out and then they bring back, whether for good or evil; positive or negative...they complete the job they were sent out to complete!
and what is true for YHVH'S Word is true for our words, because we are made in His image and likeness, and when we say what He says, our lives are rich and blessed, but if we gossip or slander or berate others created in His image and likeness, we only bring judgment onto ourselves...

the moral of this message? watch what you say; watch how you say it; and if you don't have anything good or positive to say, say nothing at all!

bara dabar!

Make this your prayer!

ON THOSE DAYS WE JUST NEED TO BE REMINDED...

(2Sa 22:3)  My Elohim is my rock; I shall take refuge in Him; my shield, and the horn of my Y'shua*, my high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You shall save me from violence (Hamas).

ELOHIM G-D IS MY ROCK; MY SHIELD; THE HORN OF MY YESHUA; MY HIGH TOWER; MY REFUGE; MY SAVIOR; MY HELPER; MY STRONG TOWER; MY SALVATION; MY GLORY; MY STRONG ROCK; MY REFUGE; MY KING OF OLD; MY STRENGTH; MY WITNESS...

(2Sa 22:2)  And he said: YAHWEH is my rock and my fortress, and my Deliverer.

(Psa 18:2)  YAHWEH is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; He is my El, my Rock; I seek refuge in Him; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

(Psa 23:1)  [A Psalm of David.] YAHWEH is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

(Psa 27:1)  [A Psalm of David.] YAHWEH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YAHWEH is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

(Psa 28:7)  YAHWEH is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; yea, my heart greatly rejoices; and I will thank Him with my song.

(Psa 94:22)  But YAHWEH is my tower of defense; and my Elohim is the rock of my refuge.

(Psa 119:57)  CHETH: YAHWEH is my portion; I have said to keep Your Words.

(Lam 3:24)  YAHWEH is my portion, says my soul. On account of this I shall hope to Him.

(Zec 13:9)  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined. And I will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, It is My people, and they shall say, YAHWEH is my Elohim.

(Rom 1:9)  For YAHWEH is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how without ceasing I make mention of you

(Heb 13:6)  So that we may boldly say, "YAHWEH is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?" (Psa. 118:6)

YHVH IS MY ROCK; MY FORTRESS; MY DELIVERER; MY EL; MY ROCK; MY SHIELD; THE HORN OF MY SALVATION; MY HIGH TOWER; MY SHEPHERD; MY LIGHT; MY SALVATION; MY STRENGTH; MY SHIELD; MY TOWER OF DEFENSE; MY ROCK OF REFUGE; MY STRENGTH; MY SONG; MY PORTION; MY ELOHIM; MY WITNESS; MY HELPER...

(Hab 3:19)  YAHWEH, Adonai is my might, and He sets my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer, on my stringed instruments.

ADONAI IS MY MIGHT...
