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.
