Day 11 Psalm 119:81-88
81 My soul faints for Your salvation,
But I hope in Your word.
82 My eyes fail from searching Your word,
Saying, “When will You comfort me?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in smoke,
Yet I do not forget Your statutes.
84 How many are the days of Your servant?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me,
Which is not according to Your law.
86 All Your commandments are faithful;
They persecute me wrongfully;
Help me!
87 They almost made an end of me on earth,
But I did not forsake Your precepts.
88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness,
So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.

What is counting of the omer?  This feast is from the barley harvest, the first sheath being brought to the priest as an offering to the Lord God.  The omer is a measure used in ancient times which would equate to one sheaf, this measure was also used in the marketplace.  Because it measures or counts out the value of a thing, this is fitting that from Passover we are counting up to Shavout, seven weeks or Sabbaths, plus one day.  This time is spent in reflection on Adonai and preparation for what He will reveal to us.  For when He delivered out the children of Israel out of physical slavery, they were excited and preparing to receive spiritual deliverance from the Torah being given to them at Mount Sinai.  Then we also have received from Yeshua a physical deliverance that is completed with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Shavout!  So from the time of first fruits when the priest would wave the sheaf the counting up begins!  This is the time frame that the wheat harvest is developing.  While we are in this time what are we developing?  How are we growing in our relationship with Yahweh and how are we treating our brothers and sisters?   The children were freed from Egypt to receive the Torah.  There has to be a change in our mindset to receive His teaching and instruction.  Many have ways of counting the omer--for example, having two jars and moving one marble to the other until the 50 days is complete.  This physical reminder would allow us to keep our focus on meditating on His word.  During this time the 119th Psalm is read daily.  It was written in stanzas divided by the Hebrew alefbet or alphabet.  Many Bibles will have the sections divided and starting off with the Hebrew letter or the name of the letter written out in English.  Since there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alefbet, Psalm 119 is read two times in its entirety.  Fiveamprayer this is a time of reflection and truly pressing into Yahweh.  He is counting on us to keep His Torah, to remember, to take and make the necessary corrections.  When you plant a seed, you are expecting a harvest--that the seed that you planted would grow and bear fruit.  This is a time of expectancy, for what you have been seeking the Lord God about.  As you reflect and consider during this counting up to the giving of the Torah, Shavout.  This time frame also coincides with the giving of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts.  The same day Shavout is also known as Pentecost, pente meaning 50 in Greek.  Thank You Yahweh, for coming to teach us to remember and observe what You have already done and will reveal in our lives!  That we stay mindful and focused on where and how You are leading us!  That we would cast down our intellect and yield to what You have purposed and planned as we see in our continued study of Your word,  As Your word is meditated on, let it be reflected into the lives of others that they too would see You--the light of the world!  Dial in to get an understanding of counting the omer.  Why is this important for us?  What is Elohim showing us in this time?  760-569-7676 pin 910150

Day 9  Psalm 119:65-72


Fiveamprayer, we can see from our study of the commandments of the Lord God Almighty that they   show His love, wisdom and blessings.  Some times this commandment is stated, thou shall not kill.  Upon further study of the original language we find that it actually pointing to murder.  There were instances when kill does not actually mean murder.  For example those who trespassed with major crimes, there was a death penalty.  There was also accidental death and the removal of pagan nations in Canaan for their wickedness, two more examples of kill that are not necessarily murder.  Because man is made in the image and likeness of Adonai, this creation of His, is more important.  We are the only creation on the Earth given the ability to reason and think.  We were even charged in the garden of Eden--Genesis 1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  That is why murder is a trespass against Elohim.  What He created and purposed, here on the Earth.  This is what Jesus Christ of Nazareth is teaching about regarding harboring hate and anger, that is actually harboring the spirit of murder.  We have to realize, first we think and then we do.  To hear more of this click here.

436. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother --Leviticus 18:7

Do we begin at the beginning when reading a book?  Or do we begin at the end?  This is a very good set of questions that we have when looking at the entirety of scripture.  Let's keep that as something to consider while going through this teaching.

There are two ways that we will look at the following words:
fulfill 
destroy

In the setting of the Hebrew idiom fulfill means to correctly interpret while destroy means to misinterpret both of these idioms are in reference to the Torah.  That in a misinterpretation of the Torah in teaching others would cause others to walk in a manner not in accordance with the Torah and not only effect that person but the entire community.  As a study of the 613 principles, commands, statues and ordinances of Yahweh will show that these were given for us individually and the community as a whole.  How we are to treat each other and how we are to treat the Lord God.  Over time many laws were added and cause confusion and unnecessary hardship.  This is what Yeshua, in His custom in the synagogues is discussing with the Pharisees and Sadducees.  He states that they, the ones who teach and make decisions based on the Torah, don't have a full grasp of the holy scriptures.  It is this lack of understanding that kept them veiled in their time and many in the church in our time.  As the Messiah did with the disciples, He opened up their understanding.  For it is not our understanding that help us to see this but His understanding.  As it is written--Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  Emmanuel came to us to save us certainly and this includes a correct teaching of principles. That it would be made to stand up, to have better understanding of His teaching and instruction.
In error, the church has believed that the fulfillment means that the Torah is over.  This confusion stems from understanding obedience.  We have to know that His obedience doesn't replace our obedience  to His teachings and instructions.  He fulfilled this by correctly interpreting the Torah.
The literal translation of fulfill from the Greek--Strong's number 4137G means fill complete, supply and perfect.  Then we have, destroy from the Greek, the Strong's number 2647G to overthrow completely.  He is the One who is prophesied of, that He fulfilled the scriptures in the writings of the prophets.  But when it comes to the Torah--it's been done away with?!  Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.  Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.  So we see here whether by idiom or literal understanding of scripture the Torah was not done away with!!!  If we had no sin, we would not need a Savior!  Did Yeshua die in vain?  Certainly not! All must be fulfilled, what must be fulfilled?  All of His word!  It will, it shall and has to come to pass!  Hosea 2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;  Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.  
The teachings of the church have become backward overtime.  By beginning with the New Testament and then sometimes going into the Old Testament or Tanakh.  Yahweh commanded that Yeshua be confirmed and foretold in scripture, but which ones?  We cannot make assumptions by beginning at the end and then picking up what suits the reader or the listeners from the Old Testament!!  Don't you see that the credentials of Christ, our Messiah that we have had in the New Testament originated and is definitely strengthened by the Tanakh?!  As it is referred to by saying, it is written, you have heard it said--but where is it said?  The Old Testament, the Tanakh!   To hear this again click here.

Day 5 Psalm 119:33-40


Witness holy throughout the scriptures: Exodus 3:5, 12:16, 15:13, 16:23, 19:6, 26:33-34, 28:4, 28:29; Leviticus 23:3-4, 25:12; Deuteronomy 14:2, 23:14, 26:19, 28:9, Psalm 3:4, 11:4, 22:3, 33:21, 46:34, 145:17,41; Jeremiah2:7; Ezekiel 39:7; Daniel 4:13; Jonah 2:7; Habakkuk 2:20; Zechariah 2:12; Matthew 7:6; Luke 1:29,70-72; Revelation 15:4, 20:6, 22:19


In this chapter we have instructions for the trespass offering for atonement for concealing the truth, swearing, partial truths, mixing the unclean with the clean, unlawful oaths.  This offering was also to be done with a confession of the wrong and prayer.  The offering would not be accepted without repentance.  Because of the importance of the offering, it was not limited by a man's income.  Even the very poor were able to offer fine flour or two turtledoves.  If the fine flour was offered it did not contain frankincense or oil.  This was a simple offering, not elevated with anything else to show the loathsomeness of the sin.  This offering was to be presented for trespasses done in ignorance or forgetfulness.
Fiveamprayer, it is time for a self-check.  Even when we have been offended we don't have the right to trespass!  Take a good look in the mirror--how are you responding?  Elohim, have us to immediately repent and ask for forgiveness.  We are to make peace with who we have wronged and make restitution before going before the Lord God.  For the believers in Yeshua, He is our ram without spot or blemish. Seek forgiveness but we are also to forgive those who seek us for forgiveness.  Do not continue in unforgiveness, that leads to bitterness.  Fiveamprayer, look at yourself, get it right with your brother first!  Then you can go into Adonai.  We have to stop being right all of the time!  Someone has to go low, why not you?  It is the Almighty God that lifts us up.  No more being puffed up in self.  Remember, that if we are not forgiving our brother, He is not forgiving us!  There is no blessing in being puffed up, humble yourself, seek to live peaceably with all.

A understanding of the word worship, wor, meaning worth, fullness or value.  We have to look at ourselves, do we give God, the Lord Almighty our best?  Or is it given out to other things: job, business, family?  Do you look to see what it left and scrape the bottom and give that leftover to Elohim?  Those things that we feel have a higher value may get the better part.  What time do you appoint to Him for study or finances?  Will a man rob God?  Thieves take things in a sneaky manner but a robber will take from you right in your face.  Fiveamprayer we are to worship Him with our first and best.  We find that those other things that we give ourselves to are not able to sustain us, nor give us true joy.  We are to give Him our first!
We have to be aware and walk according to His principles, in how we treat one another according to the 613 principles of Adonai.  We are to take what we have learned in the Age of the Messiah into the Future Age. We are the bridge between these times having the Messiah, Yeshua and walking in the Torah.  We have been resurrected from our dead state--outside the Torah into life.  A redeemed people walking a redemptive lifestyle.

Over the years there have been gradual changes in the church.  From all working in the church in varied giftings to a reduction to a handful of those who perform duties in the church.  Over time it was a change in exercising gifts to performing duties.  Somehow the notion came up that we are not all priests of God nor messengers of His message.  Then there came a split into the clergy and the lay people, those who were ministers and those who over time be came spectators.  Those who are considered lay people are under the responsibility of the pastors and ministers.  We as the entire body of Christ Jesus were sent out to be ministers to all people.  That we would teach about Yahweh and His ways.
Fiveamprayer, He is looking for those to worship Him in spirit and in truth.  The language of worship is honest.  Worship is the thank you that refuses to be silent, that which we offer to our Savior as the ones He saved! To hear more click here.

The Fifth Commandment - Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

417. You shall not be a gossip monger --Leviticus 19:16 Thou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among thy  people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the LORD
418. You shall not stand aside while your neighbor's blood is shed --Leviticus 19:16
419. You shall reprove your neighbor and not bear sin because of him --Leviticus 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.
420. You shall not hate your brother in your heart --Leviticus 19:17
421. You shall not put another to shame --Leviticus 19:17
422. You shall love your neighbor as yourself --Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
423. You shall not take revenge --Leviticus 19:18

425. You shall rise in the presence of the old and honor the presence of the wise --Leviticus 19:32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.
426. You shall not aggrieve your neighbor --Leviticus 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the Lord your God.

"Come see where He was laid--tell the disciples quickly,"  This is the message that followed the women out of the garden from their preparation of Yeshua's body according to Jewish custom.  The angel gives them the good news and even has them come see where He was laid.  This setting of scripture includes the phrase in that day which is synonymous with the Messianic era.  This time frame lasts for 1000 years and began about 14 years ago.  Yeshua defined as the first born redeemer--this is why He has the disciples at the Passover meal identify with the unleavened bread as His body.  This redemption is not only for the first born nation (Israel) but the mixed multitude as well, for all those that believe.  He is our unleavened bread--Yeshua our Bread from Heaven! 
The coming Messiah that Israel was awaiting had two meanings. The first time He would appear as Messiah ben Joseph, the suffering servant.  Yeshua having the earthly father Joseph is one way that was completed.  Joseph, the second to the last son of Israel that was sold by his brothers into slavery--delivers them out of the famine in Egypt by God's mighty hand putting all things into place.  The second coming of the Messiah would be as Messiah ben David, the conquering king.  That is what the disciples were looking for when they kept asking Yeshua if they would overthrow Roman rule at this time.
Yeshua like other Jewish children, had a  bar mitzvah at the age of 12 or 13.  Which is a process of becoming a son of the commandments.  This Yeshua, was born a Jew, raised a Jew and had Jewish parents.  His earthly occupation was carpentry.  Which is fitting being the Son of God--son in Hebraic understanding means to build the house.  He is the builder of God's house!  The practices of the Jewish culture also tells us why He began His ministry at 30 years of age.  The custom was that the priests could not perform priestly duties until that age.  Being called a rabbi or teacher of the commandments, He would be a Teacher of Righteousness.  This would make the disciples His students or talmidim.  Fiveamprayer we have been redeemed by the King of kings and the Lord of lords!  Come out of Egypt, no longer hold to the traditions of men!  He, Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with His mighty hand and outstretched arm--we will not go back into bondage!  Behold, Yeshua the walking Torah comes to give us life and that more abundantly!  To hear this one again, click here!

Witnessing MY word throughout the Bible: Deuteronomy 4:10, 11:18, 18:18-19; Numbers 12:6; Proverbs 1:23, 2:1-2, 4:4, 4:20, 7:1; Isaiah 51:16, 59:21:Jeremiah 1:9, 5:14; 13:10; Ezekiel 2:7, 3:4; Matthew 24:35; Mark 8:38; 13:31; John 5:47, 12:47-48, 14:23, 15:7; Acts 2:14

This appointed time observed by the Jewish people is Passover, feast of unleavened bread and firstfruits.  This is the time He brings them out, beginning the year marked with deliverance out of slavery.  He gives us instructions how it is to be observed: the lamb, the blood on the doorpost; the lamb roasted, the matzah and bitter herbs.  Eating the whole lamb completely or burn the leftovers.  This marks the Lord's Passover when the first born in all of Egypt, were slain saving Israel alive only because of the blood on the door post. Then followed by eating unleavened bread for 7 days.  This was to be done in remembrance of the mighty hand of God saving them and us out alive from slavery.  This is an ordinance forever!  The days would be April 14-21, when we would eat unleavened bread with leaven put out of the house during this time.  We are to observe this appointed time of Yahweh and teach it to our children, the exodus of Israel out of Egypt.  Redemption of the firstborn and the unleavened bread presents Himself, Yeshua as the unleavened bread.  Israel is the first born, those in the nations were to be counted as children of God also.  Fiveamprayer get up you are the first born in your family in the Torah observing the Passover.  He didn't present a piece of lamb, as His body but unleavened bread.  This was done during the Lord's supper which was actually during the Passover meal.  The blood protected all within  the house from judgement.  Yeshua is the redemption of the first born.  The redemption of the first born and the unleavened bread.  Jesus Christ of Nazareth tells them to do this in remembrance of Me.  This remembrance is how Yahweh by His strong hand delivered us out!  Yeshua redeemed the first born (Israel) and the mixed multitude (the nations).  He dies on the first day of unleavened bread. Which is also known as the preparation day.  He sanctified the firstborn who removed the leaven from the world!  The first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the day that Yeshua redeemed us!  To hear more of this click here.

We know the story, three days in the tomb was told all around Jerusalem, He has risen!  We may be like the the women who went to the tomb to prepare the body of Jesus Christ at the tomb, that was now empty.  Don't worry when others don't believe you, at first.  The truth will bear out!   Let us move forward in truth, as He opens us up to His understanding!  The Lord's appointed times and sacrifices are given unto us of when and how we are to come before Him.  Let us know the only one true is God!  Let every man be a liar!  We should be found speaking His word with the original intent.  With more study, we find that we have had the meaning changed by the traditions of man have lost Yahweh's original intent.  Let us take His word in its entirety.  We are not to read His word in a pick and choose fashion!  We have His word and holy days to observe and participate in.  Over time holy days has been changed into holidays in our western culture.  The original intent are holy days for things God has done and will do in the future.  These rehearsals show and hint to His glory and power!  We have to be aware of the phrase it is written, but where?  In the Tanakh!!  Go back to the original!  At this season of Passover we are to eat unleavened bread a physical act to remind us to be aware of the things that are puffing us up.  Fiveamprayer take a look at yourself what is rising up on the inside of you?  Anger, pride, irritation?  We are to cast down anything that would puff us up. This is especially not the season to rise up in yourself your flesh or your intellect!!!  Be humble, peaceable and kind not allowing wrongs to continue but we can correct in love as Abba our Father corrects us!  To hear this again click here.

We are walking in today:  The Fifth Commandment Overview

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.  The youthful violence and insolence that has become common place, was not the case years ago.  This prompted Judge Samuel Leibowitz from Brooklyn, NY to find an answer.  He found that the country with the most respectful children was in Italy here is a  quote of his findings:

Young people in Italy respect authority ... That respect starts in the home - then carries over into the school, the city streets, the courts.
I went into Italian homes to see for myself. I found that even in the poorest family the father is respected by the wife and children as its head. He rules with varying degrees of love and tenderness and firmness. His household has rules to live by, and the child who disobeys them is punished.
Thus I found the nine-word principle that I think can do more for us than all the committees, ordinances and multi-million-dollar programs combined: Put Father back at the head of the family.
The American teen-ager has been raised in a household where "obey" is an outlawed word, and where the mother has put herself at the head of the family.

Children are to be taught to obey their parents. Not only is this what Elohim commands us, it is also what the child needs to grow up properly. Without boundaries there arises confusion for the proper thing to do. The parents to the child in their younger years is in a position of God to them. The one who cares, loves and protects them. This relationship with the parent will later be seen in their relationship with God. This is also the first commandment with a promise. This parent-child relationship is far reaching throughout their lives. Remember, fiveamprayer, to be honored, one must be honorable. The greatest lesson we have to learn is to fear and obey the maker of all life, Elohim! Those who learn to respect their parents will live long lives. This isn't just for young children, but adult children too. There should never be a time when we would cease to honor them. We should hold them in high esteem and appreciation for raising us, their children. To hear more click here.

Fiveamprayer, remember today is the Passover.  The day that the Perfect Lamb was slain at 3pm.  We are to have dinner tonight reflecting on Adonai taking us out of Egypt and delivering us out of slavery.  Study to find out why Nissan 14 is important.  We discussed Nissan 10 on Friday, during the weekend meditation---why would this day be especially important?

​

​The beginning of the Passover season begins with lamb selection day, Nissan 10 (which was yesterday April 10th).  The children of Israel were to take a lamb and examine it for four days.  We have Yeshua entering into Jerusalem, where He was examined for four days.  The 70 palms were a representation of the 70 nations. A translation of the word branch in Hebrew means palm.  There are 12 lines in your palm, the walls in Isaiah 49:15-16 are the lines in the palm.  12 lines and 12 walls, the 12 tribes of Israel!  There was a place just outside of Jerusalem where the lambs were kept in a hollow (like the palm of a hand), the choice and select lambs for sacrifice.  The lambs without spot or blemish, the perfect sacrifice.  John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.  Fiveamprayer, it is time that we wake up and truly read the word of God!!  Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, was born into a Jewish family, lived His life according to Jewish customs and died as a Jew.  Many Christians don't connect their Messiah with His Jewish culture. While many Jews don't recognize that Yeshua perfectly kept the Torah.  Upon His triumphant return Yeshua/Jesus as King will continue to keep the Torah.  Our Jewish Messiah was born of the seed of David in Bethlehem.  Bethlehem is translated from Hebrew as house of bread.  He is the Bread of Life!  Also His name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua which means salvation. 

In Hebrew thought, a person's name is tied to their character, identity, purpose or destiny.  So yes there is something about the name.  Fiveamprayer we have to know what is in a name?  Why is that important.  We have to seek to find out the intention of a thing.

.  Jacob put forth his plan when Esau came in hungry from the field from hunting when he offered to sell him food for the birthright.  Esau represents the Christians who are more concerned about temporal things versus Jacob who is focused on spiritual things.  The process of Jacob obtaining the first born blessing was in trickery, it was honored by Elohim due to Jacob's such high value of it.  Later in the wilderness he wrestles with God and has his name changed to Israel meaning a prince with God.​
​ Abraham means father of multitude, before his name was changed, his name was Abram which means exalted father in Hebrew.  Yahweh changed his name by adding the Hebrew letter hey which is the breath and life of God into his name.  Thus changing the character, identity, and purpose or destiny of Abraham and his seed after him.  Isaac means laughter, this name in Hebrew is Yitzchak.  Sarah laughed when she was told that she would have a child in her old age.  This name not only means laughter but joyous laughter, that the Lord God has caused her to have great joy.  That all will hear (means listen and obey in Hebrew) and laugh with her.  Jacob means sub-planter, heel grabber.  Jacob's name in Hebrew is Ya’akov.  Jacob, and his twin Esau who fought in Rebecca's womb, was born grasping Esau's heel.  Jacob so desired the covenant that Elohim made with his father and grandfather that he made plans to obtain it.  Esau as the first born would normally receive this right as a blessing​.
Jacob put forth his plan when Esau came in hungry from the field from hunting when he offered to sell him food for the birthright.  Esau represents the Christians who are more concerned about temporal things versus Jacob who is focused on spiritual things.  The process of Jacob obtaining the first born blessing was in trickery, but it was honored by Elohim due to Jacob's such high value of it.  Later in the wilderness he wrestles with God and has his name changed to Israel meaning a prince with God.

Five Smooth Stones, Genesis--Why Abraham?

We are walking in today:  Five Smooth Stones, Genesis--Why Abraham?

Witnessing the commandments throughout the Bible: Exodus 24:12, Leviticus 4:2, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 103:20, 111:10, Isaiah 48:18, Amos 2:4, Matthew 5:19, 19:17


Have you ever wondered why Elohim picked Abraham?  We have in scripture that the Savior will crush the enemies head, would come through the seed of the woman.  Abraham was chosen because Adonai knew that his children would keep His word.  That he would be who Yahweh would establish His people through, leading up to coming of the Messiah.  The Abrahamic covenant is of faith and salvation.  Hebrews are those that have crossed over.  Abraham was not born a Hebrew but in obedience to Yahweh, crossed over and became a Hebrew.  This covenant was ratified in blood and the sign of this covenant is circumcision.  We have to understand that covenant with Adonai is not a contract, but a promise!  Salvation is a gift by faith in Yeshua as our Lord and Savior.  When we confessed (agreed) that Yeshua is Lord--we are given His faithfulness! Fiveamprayer, you know that we didn't make right choices on our own!  Yet you were chosen by Elohim.  We have been given grace for the wrong that we have done unknowingly, not as a free pass to sin intentionally!  We are to obey--hear in order to do!  We are taught by our Messiah, Jesus Christ that we are to take on His yolk.  In Hebraic understanding the yolk means proper training or partnership.  Which is described as easy and light.  Won't you take on God's teaching and instruction?!  You will find it easy and light!  Abraham had to leave what he grew up in to cross over in obedience to what Yahweh directed him to do.  Come up out of those man made traditions, those erroneous practices of old.  If there is any question, the word of the Lord settles it!  Dig into the word of God and mine for truth, His understanding and apply it to your life!  No more doing things because everyone else has.  Like the old saying if all your friends jumped off the cliff would you also?  We have to stop and seek Adonai.  Stop and ask Holy Spirit to lead and guide you and then be obedient!  That is how we get out of this mess and confusion!
There are four alters that Abraham built, they were firstly for worship.  They were also a place of testimony and communion between Elohim and man.  The four are obedience, pilgrim walk, separation and sacrifice.  Abraham was chosen by God because of His character.  Fiveamprayer we gotta check our character--listen to hear, hear to obey!  To hear this again click here.

So What Are You Saying?! We Are To Show Elohim To Others!

Proverbs 1:7-9;  Lamentations 3:1-24; Isaiah 2:1-3; Leviticus 19:18, 19:16-17; John 13:24; Psalm 51


We are walking in today:  So What Are You Saying?! We Are To Show Elohim To Others!

Witness of Grace throughout the Bible--  Grace is not only in the Brit Chadasha or New Testament. Genesis 6:8, 19:19; Exodus 33:13; Proverbs 1:9; Psalm 45:2, 84:11; Jeremiah 31:2; Luke 2:40

Fiveamprayer, we have to know that even in rough times, (that can be a result of our disobedience) that it is only by His grace that we are not utterly taken out!  He is our portion!  Adonai can not allow us to be comfortable in our disobedience--Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.  Hebrews 12:6  For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes.  Fiveamprayer, Elohim is out portion!  We must never forget that!  That is where our trust be placed--in nothing else!!!  Fiveamprayer, this is personal this morning--take a look in the mirror and see which of these scriptures is looking back at you?

2 Kings 18:5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.   

2 Kings 18:21(AMP) Behold, you are relying on Egypt, that broken reed of a staff; if a man leans on it, it will pierce his hand. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust and rely on him.   

When Adonai shows up in our lives, He comes with the fullness of who He is!  That is our portion, that is why He corrects us, He does not allow His children to go about in a fashion that is outside His instructions.  For He loves us so!  Much like our earthly fathers who corrected us when we need to be redirected back to the good and right way. This teaching from the Lord God is to be displayed in our lives to others that He would be glorified and lifted up.  The spotlight is to be on the King of kings and the Lord of lords!  We have been saved and delivered by the blood of Yeshua and taught by His Torah.  It can be easier to love the Lord God, than the people right in front of you.  We are to show the love of the Messiah to those He places in front of you.  When we love people that God places on our heart, we will get favor with people.  With our study of the Torah, we may even find that we were following the principles of the Torah without a conscious knowledge--because He has written it on our hearts and in our minds.  Jeremiah 31:31-33 31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.  Hebrews 8:8-10 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. We have to be mindful of our words--what we say and what we listen to others say.  If it is not uplifting and only finding fault and discrediting then we are not to be apart of it!  That we be found, not judging less we be judged!  We are not to put people to death with our words!  Going around and retelling others stories and then adding your opinion to it!  Be mindful that there are others that are watching and see what you are doing, are your actions or words drawing them to Light of the World?  Or cast into the shadow of darkness?  We choose our words and can not be lead by our emotions and desires only!  We need His teaching and instruction to keep our character in check!  This is a constant practice, constant review--we will not learn this the first time but will need to be renewed to this thing that we are not used as a tool to push away but to draw unto the Just Judge and righteous King!  Dial in for this one!  It will be available all day--that we would speak as Yahweh would have us to speak!

Fiveamprayer, in every situation you have a choice to make, which words will you use?  Words of life or death?  Your own words or the word of the Lord God?!  Not only share the goodness of the Lord God but give the scripture that you are standing on when giving your testimony!  We must find ourselves in the Book--the Davar Elohim!  With more and more study of His word we have boundaries for our minds to keep us in aliment with His purpose and plan for our lives.  Living your life according to His principles you will hear His voice--Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.  When we are speaking His words we get a response from Elohim.  Daniel 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.  To hear this again click here.

Zephaniah 3 1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! 2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God. 3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. 4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. 5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. 6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. 7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings. 8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. 9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent. 10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. 11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. 12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. 13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. 16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. 17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. 18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. 19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. 20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.

​The word understanding is an action word.  In Hebrew it is the word binah which means knowledge from the Holy One; from the word beyn meaning between.  Fiveamprayer we need understanding, that we would know the difference between function or dysfunction/good and evil.  Yeshua taught in parables and known as a Master teacher in this teaching style. The parables give us what we need in our seeking out the secrets of the kingdom of God.  Fiveamprayer, we have so many scriptures that Elohim has given us understanding freely.  We are permitted to ask why to stir us up to seek Him out and press into His word.  He never turns His back on those honestly asking questions and seeking more and more of Him!  We may not get the answer if we don't yet have the capacity to understand.  The question itself doesn't lead to problems but, the doubting of Yahweh is all knowing, all powerful and all seeing, could.  There should never be a doubt of Elohim position in our lives, our Creator, Heavenly Father, Teacher, Healer, Salvation, Protection and more!  He is so great and wonderful that He can work all things for our good!  Fiveamprayer take time to read scripture, listen to what Adonai is telling you--you will understand.  Meet Him at the appointed times of prayer: 9, 12, 3 and any additional time ​

Here are the next 10 principles of the Lord God Almighty. This arrangement of the 613 principles, the law of our Lord God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is from the book by Rabbi Ralph Messer, Torah: Law Or Grace? Kingdom Principles For Kingdom Living. This book can be ordered online here or in the store if you are in the Denver area here.

The Fifth Commandment Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

397.  A king shall not have too many wives --Deuteronomy 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

398. A king shall not greatly increase silver and gold for himself --Deuteronomy 17:17

399. The king shall write for himself two copies of the Torah --Deuteronomy 17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

400. You shall observe the overtures for peace and war --Deuteronomy 20:11-12 11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

401. A man who issues a slander against a virgin of Israel shall be punished --Deuteronomy 22:18-19 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

402. A man who issues a slander against a virgin of Israel shall not divorce her all his days --Deuteronomy 22:19

403. The bill of divorce shall be a written document --Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

404. You shall not remarry your divorced wife after she has remarried another man --Deuteronomy 24:4  Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

405. A husband shall not be obligated from home for the first year --Deuteronomy 24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

406. The brother of a man who dies childless shall marry his brother's wife (Levirate Marriage) --Deuteronomy 25:5

If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was born of the tribe of Judah, was raised in a Jewish family and observed Jewish customs.  Lived in a town were He spoke and understood Hebrew, as did the writers of the Bible.  We have from Yeshua in the Brit Chadasha that He sends the disciples after the lost sheep of Israel.  Even tells this to the woman at the well--John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 

The combination and overtaking of pagan days and ways began in the early church until the Hebraic teaching and understandings were all but erased.  Fiveamprayer, give ear to hear: seek the ancient ways--return to the truth of scripture!  The spirit of Elijah comes first before the return of the Messiah.  Elijah, who's name means my Mighty One is Yah.  There will be a group of people who will move upon the Earth in Elijah's spirit, in the time of the Messanic Era. 

The Method, the Messenger, the Message:  
Romans 10:11, Isaiah 28:16. 

Romans 10:13, Joel 3:5. 

Romans 10:15, Isaiah 52:7. 

Romans 10:19, Psalm 19:4

John 5:45, Deuteronomy 31:26-27. 

John 5:26-27, Genesis 3:15, Genesis 45:4-9, Deuteronomy 18:15. 

John 5:30-32, Isaiah 28:6, Numbers 16:28.

Five Smooth Stones, Leviticus: Sin Offerings

Leviticus 4

We are walking today:  Five Smooth Stones, Leviticus: Sin Offerings

In reflecting back to this time last year when we came to a question, Who is Jesus?  In our cries of anguish and seeking Him relentlessly we find that the purest form of His name is Yeshua, He is Yeshua HaMashiach,  The Anointed.  The Son of God--the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!  Causing us to go back and learn about the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith.  Praise Adonai that our eyes were opened, that understanding was given from on high!  Fiveamprayer for anything that you don't know seek Him with a intense focus--He will answer!
In the book of Leviticus chapter 4 we are being taught here about the sacrifices that are required when the people had sinned.  In missing the mark, what sin means, there were different kinds of offerings for a regular person versus that of a priest or a ruler.  Whether a sin was committed in ignorance or intentionally--with out the shedding of blood there would be no remission of that sin.  The person bringing the sacrifice to the priests, a bullock for example would place there hands on the head of the bull as a sign that they are the one's who have sinned and it should be them that loose their life instead of the animal.

Exodus 20:24; Job 1:5; Galatians 3:19; Romans 5:20; Micah 6:7; Proverbs 8:36; Hebrews 10:26-27; Numbers 15:30; Galatians 6:1; Romans 2:21; 1 Chronicles 16:21; Psalms 32:5; Proverbs 8:13; Romans 6:6; Hebrews 13:11-13; Joel 2:16; Isaiah 52:15; Hebrews 10:14; Jeremiah 17:1; Revelation 9:13; 1 Samuel 3:14; 1 John 2:1-2

Do You Really Know What It Means To Be Blessed?

Matthew 5:1-12

 

We are walking in today:  Do You Really Know What It Means To Be Blessed?

The sermon on the mount found in Matthew 5:1-12, we have Yeshua establishing the Torah!    He teaches the proper way to observe God's law--His teaching and instruction, explaining that we are to follow the letter of the law and continue on to the spirit of the law!  It was not done away with!  However it was lifted up as the way to walk with Elohim.  All who claim relationship with Yahweh are to keep the letter of the law and continue on to the spirit of the law.  This sermon gives us an image of Moses on Mt Sinai, giving out the Torah to the children of Israel.  Anyone proclaiming any other teaching, but the Torah would be a false prophet, according to scripture--Deuteronomy 13:1-3 1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.  Love Him.  Fear Him.  Serve Him. Obey His commandments.  The Torah is the correct walk of faith of Elohim family.  Any true prophet or teacher must teach the Torah, that is the measuring stick!  Any teacher, preacher or prophet rejecting the Torah is to be rejected.  Ezekiel 22:25-28  25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken. Ezekiel 44:23-24 23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.   Fiveamprayer I have a question--Is everyone blessed?  Is there no distinction between the clean and unclean, the holy and unholy?  Leviticus 11:44-45, 19:2, 20:7,26, 21:8, 22:32.  Yeshua never taught that the Torah was over!  If He had, He would have been branded as a false prophet.  Deuteronomy 18:15-19.

Blessed are:
-the poor in spirit,  Isaiah 66:2, James 2:1-5

-they who mourn/weep, Isaiah 66:10-13, Ezekiel 9:1-6

-the meek, Psalm 37:11

-they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, Deuteronomy 8:3

-the compassionate, Matthew 23:23, James 1:27

- the clean in heart, Psalm 24:3-5, 51:10

-the peacemakers, Numbers 25:6-13, Revelation 11:18, Isaiah 2:9, 2:4, Micah 4:3

-those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, Isaiah 66:5-6

The woes or curses are shown in Luke's account of the sermon on the mount--Luke 6:20-26.

  

Fiveamprayer, the blessings are for those who live their lives in compliance with the instructions of the covenant.  Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 28:14-15; James 2:9  Dial in today to hear this teaching and much more!  760-569-7699 pin 910150#
