Witness forever throughout the Bible:  H5769 olam eternal, long ago, perpetual
Genesis 13:15; Exodus 3:14-15, 12:14, 15:18; Leviticus 23:21, 23:31; Deuteronomy 5:29, 12:28, 29:29; Joshua 14:9; 1 Samuel 2:35; 2 Samuel 7:13, 7:25-26; 1 Chronicles 16:34, 17:27, 28:7; Ezra 3:11; Psalm 9:7, 10:16, 12:7, 19:9, 22:26, 23:6, 28:9, 30:12, 33:11, 37:18, 37:29, 41:12, 44:8, 48:14, 52:9, 66:7, 89:4, 93:5, 102:12, 104:5, 111:9-10; Isaiah 26:4, 30:8, 59:21, 65:18; Jeremiah 31:36; Daniel 2:20, 6:26; Matthew 6:13; Luke 1:55; John 6:51, 14:16; Romans 11:36; 1 Peter 4:11; Revelation 20:20 

Fiveamprayer, are we prepared?  Will we be like the 5 wise or the 5 foolish virgins when the Bridegroom returns?   What is the oil that was in their lamps?  Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.  By not being prepared, the 5 foolish virgins, were not ready to go in and came late and knocked at the door, 'Lord, Lord'--but the reply comes, 'I know you not'

Matthew 25:10-12 (KJV)
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

The phrase Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are synonyms for the Lord God Almighty.  Theses terms are only used in the Brit Chadasha or New Testament.  When the audience that Yeshua is speaking to is Hebrew as in Matthew He uses Kingdom of Heaven, while in Mark, Luke, and John the audience is Greek and He uses Kingdom of God.  When scripture says of the prodigal son, I have sinned against heaven, he is saying that I have sinned against the God Almighty.  We have to understand in the Hebraic mindset, that heaven is temporal and Earth eternal for that is where mankind is to be--

Psalm 115:14-16  (KJV)
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

In our western/Greek mindset we have come to think of Heaven as a place to escape, while scripture tells us that the Earth has been given to men, that it is Yahweh's plan to make a new heaven and a new Earth.  Why would we need a new Earth, if we are to go to heaven?  

The word's reign and kingdom have the same root words.  The gospel that both Yeshua and Paul preached is the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven--that is the good news!  The Kingdom is at hand, karval malkhut shamayiam!  Most of the Hebrew prayers have this contained in it: Blessed are You, Lord, our God, King of the Universe.  The Torah is our kingdom instructions.  Another daily prayer of many Jewish people is Avinu Malkenu, Our Father Our King--which gives praise to Yahweh our King for His hand over the kingdom and for every tongue to swear allegiance and honor to Him!  This is God's rule, where He rules and the people that He rules reside--the Kingdom of God is now, present--here and now.  The Son of Man, coming was a future event.  In error the Kingdom of God has been seen as a future event also--this is His present righteousness, His salvation, and redemption. Which is found throughout the volume of the Book. When we get to the Next Testament we find that alms giving to the poor became the definition of being righteous.  

Heaven was not after death, but Yahweh's presence in present tense--here and now!

In Hebrew the Kingdom of Heaven/Kingdom of God is close in proximity, reduced distance.

In Greek, the Kingdom of God/Kingdom of Heaven is based on time, awaiting, future.

We have the comparisons of the good or bad disciples by the fruit that they bore.  This is how we are to determine which type of disciple we are dealing with.  This is a Hebrew idiom which places it in the future tense Yeshua's movement upon the Earth is the Kingdom of Heaven which is present.  To listen to this awesome teaching again click here.

5 Smooth Stones--Exodus 20, The Giving of the Torah

Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:22; Exodus 34:28, 14:13, 10:4; Matthew 22:35-40; Deuteronomy 6:5

We are walking in today:  5 Smooth Stones--Exodus 20, The Giving of the Torah

Witness forty throughout the Bible:  in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet is Mem . The word in Hebrew is 'arba` which is the number 4 which is translated as 4, 40, 400.  From the root word H7251 raba` meaning to be square or squared
Genesis 7:4, 7:12, 18:29; Exodus 16:35, 24:18, 34:28; Numbers 13:25, 14:33; Deuteronomy 2:7, 8:2, 8:4, 9:11, 9:25, 25:3, 29:5; Joshua 4:13, 5:6, 14:7; 1 Samuel 4:18; 2 Samuel 5:4; 1 Kings 19:8; 2 Chronicles 9:30, 24:1; Nehemiah 9:21; Psalm 95:10; Ezekiel 29:12; Amos 2:10, 5:25; Jonah 3:4; Matthew 4:2; Mark 1:13; Acts 1:3, 7:23, 7:30, 7:42, 13:8, 13:21; 2 Corinthians 11:24


Fiveamprayer we must be focused this morning.  Pray and ask the Spirit of God to teach you.  Ask Yahweh for understanding.  We are learning today what was the original intention, based on the original language, regarding what we currently call the ten commandments.  These are the same commandments that those in the church, say are are over.  What these are is the decalogue which is the Greek words deca [10] and logoi [words].  These are the index to the 613 commandments of Yahweh.  Due to this misunderstanding stemming from  mistranslation at best, is the root of the division of the Bible into the old and new testaments.  Fiveamprayer that has lead to the downfall of many.  Thinking in error that the old was over and we were to focus on the new and improved.  Much of this idea comes from the early church fathers that were seeking to erase all evidence relating to the Jewish customs or practices.  They did not want their religion to have anything in common with Judiasim.
When reading many Bibles, Exodus chapter 20 has the heading of the ten commandments.  The more accurate term would be davar (word) Elohim (God).  This is what He spoke audibly to the children of Israel.  That even the stone tablets that Moses brings down the first time are carved by the finger of Adonai Himself.  This is to show us that this was given to us by Yahweh and taught to each other by man.  This was not sent out through the voice of a man the first time the 'ten utterances' happened. This was by His own voice and finger writing them down.  How far we have come with these little misdirections and misalignments over the years to come to our present state that the davar Elohim would ever fail or could be done away with.  Forgive us Yahweh, we knew not what we were doing!  For in error we believed as many in the church today.  You have come to open our eyes because our heart searched for You diligently.  Praise Your holy Name!  Click here to listen to more of this awesome teaching!  Amen, amen!  https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/playback.html?n=RvxYy/jTAOg

Now Is The Time To Ask Why--For Your Understanding!

Haggai 2:6-12; Isaiah 2:1-10; 61:1-6; 2 Corinthians 5:17

We are walking in today:  Now Is The Time To Ask Why--For Your Understanding!

Witness behold throughout the Bible: H2372 chazah envision, gaze, look upon; H7789 shuwr to watch, behold, lie in wait
Genesis 1:29, 9:9, 11:6, 18:27, 28:13, 28:15, 48:21; Exodus 23:20; Leviticus 25:20; Numbers 12:8; Joshua 3:11, 7:22; Judges 20:7; 1 Samuel 3:11, 24:20; 2 Samuel 19:1, 19:41; 1 Kings 13:1; Psalm 11:4, 33:18, 37:37, 51:5-6, 54:4, 84:9; Isaiah 3:1, 22:17, 24:1; Jeremiah 1:9, 7:8, 31:31, 32:27; Amos 8:11; Zephaniah 3:19; Matthew 25:6, 27:51, 28:2; Acts 7:56; James 3:3-5; Revelation 1:7, 16:15, 22:7, 22:12

When we have an answer to the question why.  We will be able to spend and make corrections--as we are being led according to His divine order.  Go back to the beginning and find out what is missing or omitted.  As a small child who will not give up until they have an answer to their question why--we should do the same in seeking His word!  Because I said so is not sufficient for those that have a deep down search for truth.  The drive comes from realizing on some level the truth has been hidden or in the worst cases removed.  Fiveamprayer, we have to find out what this is being done and at who's direction?  This is the quest for many of the younger people out there--the seek for the truth that they would have a true relationship with Adonai.  For in the end we stand before Him alone.  Will you take the correction now before you have no excuse--it can not be explained away.  Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.  Certainly since He is searching us out to know us, why wouldn't we seek Him as well? 
Elohim is shaking up things to show areas of weakness.  We see this shaking in our homes, jobs, country and even our own lives.  This is being done that we would no longer seek nor trust any other source than the Creator, Yahweh, the King of the Universe!  All other ways are not leading to a prosperous end.  Not just in the idea of increase of money but well being in our whole lives, in families, marriages, and communities.  Who spoke this all into existence?  What other force is there that set all this in motion and continues to keep all the planets in their orbit and yet hear the prayers of a small child?  Yahweh in all His glory is not too far away to be touched by our concerns and cares. 
This time is reveling those people who have a seek that has turned into a search, that they would be filled with His righteousness, for they have found that nothing else will satisfy their search.  Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.  Where do we find this righteousness, often defined as the Lord God's way of doing what is right--the Torah His teaching and instruction.  That is how we are to live our lives to receive the blessings.  We were given the power to choose--so who or what are you serving and what is the end result?  Obedience brings the blessing, and disobedience brings the curse.  This is telling us where we are at this time and He is giving His instruction to make the corrections so that we can live in His blessings! The people in Haggai chapter 2 were released by the king who held them in captivity to go back and rebuild the temple of Almighty God.  Do you realize that not all of the people went back?  Some had found some level of success in captivity and did not return.  We have to know that all will not turn back, to go to the beginning.  Nor will they seek to find what has been omitted or misunderstood.  To study, seek and find where we are missing the turn or got off the path.  Fiveamprayer, let us consider the why when we look at our lives to see which would be the good and right way to go.  To hear this again click here: http://bit.ly/NowTimeToAskWhy

Consider Your Ways

Haggai 1; Psalm 25:4-5; Matthew 6:33

We walking in today:  Consider Your Ways

Witness the word, witness throughout the Bible:  H5707 `ed meaning witness, testimony and H7717 sahed  meaning advocate
Genesis 31:44; 31:48; Exodus 20:16, 23:1; Numbers 17:7-8, 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15, 19:18, 31:26; Joshua 22:27-28; Judges 11:10; 1 Samuel 12:3, 12:5; 1 Kings 21:10; 2 Chronicles 24:6; Job 16:19, 29:11; Psalm 89:36-37; Proverbs 6:19, 12:17, 14:5, 19:5, 19:9, 19:28, 21:28, 24:28, 25:18; Isaiah 3:9; 19:20, 55:3-4; Jeremiah 29:23, 42:5; Micah 1:2; Malachi 2:14, 3:5; Matthew 15:19, 19:18, 24:14, 26:59, 26:62, 27:13; Mark 10:19, 14:55-56; Luke 4:22; John 1:7-8, 5:31, 5:37, 8:18, 10:25, 15:27, 18:23; Acts 4:33, 7:44, 10:43, 14:17, 15:8, 23:11; Romans 8:16, 9:1, 13:9; Hebrews 2:4; 1 Peter 5:1; 1 John 1:2, 5:6, 5:8-9; Revelation 1:5, 3:14, 20:4

Fiveamprayer we must ask for His wisdom and ways.  Take a look to see if we are listening with our whole hearts.  Do we truly desire to please Him?  Or are we seeking only the things that please us?  When we yield and do things His way, we can experience such peace instead of allowing all of the world's influences into our thoughts.  Take a look and see what is it that we are doing that keeps us from His peace, instruction and love?  Don't allow the world to move you our of position!!  Here in the first chapter in Haggai, the children of Israel delayed in repairing the temple of the Lord.  Because of these actions they receive a small return.  Sound familiar?  Where is your heart, Fiveamprayer?  Are you seeking after Yahweh's heart or earthly desires?  Only in Adonai do we find ourselves productive and fulfilled.  So why is your world faltering and the walls caving in?  Who is in the drivers seat of your life?  Are you striving to provide for yourself?  Are there any who are fully trusting in Him?!  Will His word fail?  Have they ever?  Take a hard look at His instructions and your actions are you being obedient?  Consider your ways, Fiveamprayer!  Is the work that you do, for the up-building of the Kingdom of God?  That we would operate in the pattern of heaven, here on the Earth.  Maybe your life seems to be on pause, yet you have restrained apologies and continue in unforgiveness in your heart.  Click here to listen again.

The Tenth Commandment--613 Overview

Ecclesiastes 12:13; Exodus 20:17; Matthew 5:8; James 4:1-2; Luke 12:15, 9:58; Matthew 6:33, 5:17-18; Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 42:21; Matthew 5:17-45; Romans 7:7


We are walking in today:  The Tenth Commandment--613 Overview

Witness in the beginning throughout the Bible:  The first word in the Hebrew Bible is bereshith which when translated becomes in English in the beginning
Genesis 1:1; Judges 7:19; Ruth 1:22; 2 Samuel 21:9; Ezra 4:6; Proverbs 8:22; Lamentations 2:19; Jeremiah 26:1, 27:1, 28:1, 49:34; Ezekiel 41:31; Amos 7:1; John 1:1-2; Philippians 4:15; Hebrews 1:10

The premise that many Americans operate under is buy now, pay later.  Irregardless if they can afford it or not.  This is following the idea of keeping up with the Jones or what ever television personality you watch.  A constant advertising ploy for the people of this nation to become consumers that are actually being consumed by their possessions.  Those in other countries do not understand this need, this obsession that in many cases puts these things in a status of an idol.  All of these things are outside of Yahweh's plan for us from the beginning.
This spiritual buy now pay never, is also a by-product of misunderstanding scripture whether intentionally or on purpose has many believers in a position of not having to uphold any of Elohim's principles.  The concern is only for those things that appear to be holy and from man's agreed terms.  This was already foreseen by Adonai that is why in the First Testament we have the warnings and admonishments to remember all that Yahweh is teaching us, that in teaching it to our children--lest we forget and they be unaware.  The warnings are not to do like those around you, for you will be tempted to do things another way, than His.  A way that was not to be practiced or known by your forefathers.  For His teaching and instructions allows us great peace and grace.  This idea of grace only and no obedience to the law is the same as in the natural of charging up credit cards with no intention of paying them and yet complaining that they keep calling you and asking for payment.  Where is the responsibility for what we have chosen to do?  What is the guide to keep us from going overboard?  By what measure are we measured?
The tenth commandment is to have us to be content with what we have.  We are created by His perfect design and were not to be the same as each other.  So why would we all have the same things?  This appreciation for what others have is not the problem, it is when this appreciation becomes a thing of overstepping the boundaries to desire for what is someone else.  This is rebellion and starts in the heart, then the mind before it becomes an action.  The Torah teaches us the way that we are to guard ourselves from improper behavior. We are His people and make the declaration often yet when looking in to His word do we see ourselves reflected there?  Why not be a law abiding citizen, allow His principle to guard your heart and mind that you are not led astray?  Don't you trust Him to provide?  Fiveamprayer be content in His provision, for He sees all and knows all!  Hallelujah Yahweh!  All honor and glory to Your name!  To hear this again click here.  https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/playback.html?n=RvxYy/jTyY1

The Big Test--Will You Trust And Believe In The I AM Who Told You, I Will?

Witness silent throughout the Bible:  H1745 duwmah, H2013 hacah, H2814 chashah meaning silence, hush, be silent, hold peace, be quiet, still, inactive
Genesis 24:21; Leviticus 10:3; Deuteronomy 27:9;  1 Samuel 10:27; 2 Kings 18:36; Esther 4:14; Job 13:5, 33:31, 33:33; Psalm 4:4, 28:1, 30:12, 3:17, 32:3, 35:22, 39:2, 39:9, 50:3, 50:21, 83:1, 109:1; Proverbs 17:28; Ecclesiastes 3:7; Isaiah 23:2, 41:1, 42:14, 53:7, 57:11, 62:1, 62:6, 64:12, 65:6; Jeremiah 4:19; Ezekiel 3:26, 24:27, 33:22; Habakkuk 1:13, 2:20; Zephaniah 1:7; Zechariah 2:13; Matthew 26:63; Mark 3:4, 14:61; Luke 1:20, 14:4, 20:26; Acts 8:32, 15:12, 18:9

This morning we will retrace the our steps like the children of Israel through the wilderness.  We are reviewing 14 of the total 42 stops, before entering into the promised land.
Sukkot the first camp--where they learned to become the temple for the dwelling of Yahweh
Etham, the second camp is where they made their swords into plow shears--they had no need to fight anymore.  It is Yahweh that fights for them, taking out the giants that they were facing.
Pi HaChiroth, camp number three where they escaped through the Red Sea, the escape made possible by the hand of Elohim.
Marah the fourth stop, where the children of Israel cried out for water. The question is Fiveamprayer, are you prepared?  Don't fall into complaint, seek Him and trust Him.
Eilim is the fifth stop, this is the spiritual oasis, a time of plenty.  Here they are refreshed and seek Yahweh even more.
Red Sea, the sixth camp this is the place where the people of Israel were tempted beyond His grace. Fiveamprayer, where is your focus?  All eyes on Adonai!
Wilderness of Sin, the seventh camp there was the warnings about false doctrines, to not allow the customs of the surrounding nations pollute them.  Only eat the pure manna from heaven.

Dofkah is camp number eight, we are to reach out to those in the darkness and dysfunction to His light and function.
Alush is camp 9,  this unity of Shavuot, the people walking in agreement and desire for His purpose.
Rephidim is the 10 stop, where we have the rock of salvation and intercessory prayer strengthened by Yahweh's faithful.
At Mount Sinai the 11th stop where the people are invited to be with Adonai in the sanctuary and where they also received the Torah, in the midst of His presence.
Kivrot-HaTa’avah is the 12th camp where there was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, also some were lusting after the things from Egypt.  Fiveamprayer to receive His Spirit, we have to seek Him!

Hatzerot the 13th camp where they were to focus on His authority over man. That includes giving honor to human authority that does not conflict with His commandments. We must learn meekness and bury all pride
Ritmah is camp 14, for those that will seize the kingdom by force.  Fiveamprayer, we will obtain the promise given to us.  Don't worry over giants, trust in He who is the Sovereign!

Our Heart Condition Requires A Regular Check Up

Deuteronomy 11; John 7:27-40; 1 John 4:1-6

We are walking in today:  Our Heart Condition Requires A Regular Check Up

Witness their hearts throughout the Bible: H3829 lev meaning inner man, mind, will, imagination, being merry, understanding, willing, wisdom, pride, intelligence, encouraging another
Leviticus 26:36; Joshua 11:20; Judges 9:3, 15:25, 19:22; 1 Samuel 6:6; 2 Chronicles 6:14, 11:15; 20:33; Job 1:5; Psalm 28:3, 33:15, 35:24, 74:8, 125:4; Isaiah 44:18; Jeremiah 31:33, 32:40; Hosea 7:2; Zechariah 7:12; Mark 2:6, 3:5, 4:15; Luke 1:51, 1:66; 3:15; 8:12; Acts 7:39, 15:8-9; Colossians 2:2; Hebrews 8:10, 10:16

This scripture is Adonai speaking to those children of Israel who saw Him bring them out by His mighty hand.  That these miracles they beheld with their own eyes, this was not directed to the children who had not had this experience.  This morning Elohim comes with a message for us today.  That we are the ones who experience Him like never before in this 70 days of testing, this is not a message to our children.  This is an attention grabbing conversation with them then and us now to recall all that He has done.  Will we rely in Him or still try to work this out in our own insufficiency?   From all that we have witnessed personally during this 70 days of testing while we are on day 67.  All of the teachings that we have gotten from the throne, would we accept the corrections and be prepared for where He is leading us?  This was all designed by His plan and set forth from all that He has uttered from the beginning now being seen in the end.
As many of us go to the doctor for an annual checkup's we also need to have a spiritual checkup.  What is in your heart?  David hid Yahweh's word in his heart that he would not sin against Him.  In this evaluation what will we find in out heart, or still remaining in our hearts?  According to the Hebrew calender we are approaching the month of Elul which is the month before the new year begins on Tishrei.  The the first day of that month is Rosh HaShanah, in the Roman calender it is September 25 this year.  This month of Elul is our month of repentance before we would enter into  the fall feast days.
Fiveamprayer we are to check in on a regular basis that we would purify our hearts before Him.  As we seek Him, He will search us.  There should be a regular heart search to find out what is going and what condition we are in.  Adonai will report the findings from the test of our heart conditions.  Were we obeying His word?  Are you pausing to determine if our tongue should issue all the words that are ready to leap out?  Will we review the situation first before allowing our words to go forth in a reckless fashion?  Click here to listen again. http://bit.ly/1tpaHcz

Numbers 10:33, 13:2, 13:32, 14:7, 14:36, 14:38; Deuteronomy 1:33, 13:14-15; Joshua 2:2-3; 1 Samuel 23:23; 2 Samuel 10:3; 1 Chronicles 19:3; Ezra 4:15; Job 8:8, 13:9; Psalm 44:21; 64:6, 77:6, 139:23; Proverbs 25:2, 25:27; Ecclesiastics 1:13, 7:25; Lamentations 3:40; Jeremiah 2:34, 17:10, 29:13; Ezekiel 34:6, 34:8, 34:11; Zephaniah 1:12; Matthew 2:8; John 5:39, 7:52

Adonai comes to find out what we are made of.  We are not forced to change but He is drawing us to return back to His directions.  His words are like a refiners fire.  Examining or punishing what is the difference?  The real question is are we being obedient or neglectful?  Do we gossip about others?  Do we pray for those that we have an ought against?  Do we cheerfully tithe unto Him or steal?  The book of Job is a self examination in the midst of discussion with his friends.  He is found blameless and remained in faith.  This examination of self is a hard thing to do.  Because we don't like to be told what to do.  But this is required of those who walk with Yahweh.  We can check our conscious to find out where we are.  This is where we take stock of everything in our lives.  We are to judge ourselves not others.  Yahweh will separate the sheep from the goats.  Elohim will not allow all of those things that go outside of His design to go unaddressed.  There are no secrets among the all-seeing, all-powerful Yahweh!  You may deceive yourself and others but never Him!  Everything is exposed before Him, for His light reveals all things.  Fiveamprayer take time out for spiritual examination. We should be walking in the spirit not our own carnal man.  Search yourself and have Elohim purge you in this spiritual examination.  Cry out to Him like David--search me Adonai and take out anything that is not like You!  Click here to listen again.

Fiveamprayer, we have to know that pain proceeds promotion.  We serve the incomparable Elohim, Yahweh.  We are uncommon, called by His hand to walk in His Torah.  This is not our wisdom but that which is from heaven.  We will walk in the unmatched health and finances of His purpose.  Don't let your focus be broken.  This is not the time to have a scattered focus, looking here and there.  Hold fast to the truth and His instructions--only Elohim can make this happen.  For it is His plan from the very beginning with His words that set all of this into motion.  With the years we have lived, we find that confession alone is certainly not sufficient.  Although words do have power and can ignite the seeds that are on the inside.  Fiveamprayer, we are going to new levels with the keys that we obtain from His instruction.  The Torah is our purpose, to reflect the kingdom of heaven, here on the Earth.  A shift in health, finances, relationships--we serve the supernatural Elohim!  The enemies of the past, we will see no more again.  The wayward children are returning to the correct path.  Let us enlarge our vision to see His purpose for our lives.  Those doors that were closed to you are now open to you.  All things are lined up for your success!  So that you would be productive for the up-building of the kingdom of Yahweh.  The longer process that used to be required, now has shortened steps.  Fiveamprayer, know your purpose, who you are and who's you are!  Adonai can and has throughout the Bible move those up who are not deserving or last to an accelerated position.  As we see in Genesis 48 with Jacob blessing Joseph's sons and again in Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.  To hear this again click here.

The Tenth Commandment--Exodus 20:14 ​

​Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

589. You shall observe the valuation of a field articulated by vow to the LORD --Leviticus 27:16, 22-23 16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 22 And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

590. You shall segregate the property of a vow as holy to the LORD (Cherem vow) --Leviticus 27:21,28 21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

591. You shall not concentrate by vow to the LORD the firstborn or firstling of animal or flock, it is the LORD's --Leviticus 27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord's.

592. You shall not sell a field segregated by vow as holy to the LORD --Leviticus 27:28

593. You shall not redeem a field segregated by vow as holy to the LORD --Leviticus 27:28

594. You shall set aside the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit tree, as holy to the LORD --Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.

595. You shall tithe from your cattle and flock, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD --Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

596. You shall not substitute the tithe of the cattle or flock --Leviticus 27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

597. You shall set aside a loaf as a portion from the first of your kneading (Challah) --Numbers 15:20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.

598. You shall not redeem the firstborn of clean animals --Numbers 18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

So many of us were looking for something more.  We could not say what it was that we were seeking for but, we certainly were on a search.  This search has returned us to our Hebraic roots.  We set out to seek more about the name Yeshua and came to our divine intervention.  All of us on this line were seeking more.  That there was something inside that said that there is more!  We who seek to find will come into a closer relationship with Adonai.  Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.  Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.  There are so many who sit in church and feel in their inner man that there has to be more.  This is what prompts the search.  In some cases it is not even a conscious thing but deep urging that upon further reflection you find that is what was driving the questions and the study to find the 'more' that is missing.  This study of the Hebraic roots reveals that the early church doctrines and principles are not a accurate reflection of the principles that Yahweh set forth in His word, the Davar Elohim.  How did we get here?  Where did we get off track?  That we would have practices and observe things that are actually directed NOT to do in His Word, yet the holy days and principles we have disregarded that are clearly listed throughout the Bible.  We have build our lives on faith and the traditions of men, instead of the volume of the Book.  With blinded eyes opened up we find that what we were lacking, those missing puzzle pieces come together and reveal the complete whole picture.  This restored sight removes the misinformation and gives clarity of His purpose and will.  Our search lead us to His divine intervention.  The day of Adonai was changed in error, that it was thought that Yeshua rose on Sunday, He actually rose on Saturday evening before sunset.  That which confirms His Messiahship from scripture that He would be in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights.  How did the worldly holidays replace the feast days of Yahweh?  When did any part of Elohim's word expire?  What would be the scriptures that the Beraens studied to see if what Paul taught was true?  In Paul's letter to Timothy which would be the holy scriptures that he learned as a youth?  2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  Fiveamprayer, that cry out for more is asking for a whole and complete picture not only reading the second half of the book and only going choosing the previous sections when it suits a purpose.  We are to read, learn and understand the volume of the Book!  If that was not the case, while Yeshua made other corrections such as His Father's house being turned into a den of thieves, over turned tables in the courtyard of the temple would He have also mentioned what had expired and was no longer of use?  While making one correction would He stop there?  There were many explanations and clarifications that He taught to both people with questions and in His sermons.  Numerous times were available to stand up to say which was no longer valid--yet we have nothing recorded that He spoke such things.  Further study revels the man-made improvements on man's relationship with Elohim which managed to put more distance than to draw us closer.  Your soul cries out for more because there was a time that we, like Adam walked with Him in the garden speaking with Him casually in a close, familiar, relationship.  This distance of man-made design is what we find has to be undone, reduced and minimized.  All praises to Yahweh, who has drawn us back to Him!!  With a seek on the inside we find that which we desire most--more of Him!  Click here to listen again.

Five Smooth Stones--Leviticus 11, Foods That Are Fit To Eat

Leviticus 11; Acts 10-11; Genesis 1; Ezekiel 22:26, 4:14; 1 Timothy 4:4

We are walking in today:  Five Smooth Stones--Leviticus 11, Foods That Are Fit To Eat

Witness we will not throughout the Bible:  H2814 chashah to be silent, be still, inactive
Genesis 43:5, 47:18; Numbers 16:12, 32:18-19; Judges 19:12, 20:8; 1 Samuel 16:11; Nehemiah 10:39; Psalms 78:4; Jeremiah 6:16-17, 42:13, 44:16; Daniel 3:18; Luke 19:14; 3 Corinthians 10:13

Fiveamprayer how do we determine what is fitting for us to eat?  We have our traditional foods, then we have that which the doctor's recommend but what do we find when we go back to the very beginning?  What does and did the Creator of all say was fitting for us to eat?  In this chapter we have the what and the how we are to eat.  We find that by a closer look of the text that even the clean could be deemed unclean if not handled properly or how it was killed.  This distinction between the clean and unclean the profane and the holy is what Yahweh teaches the children of Israel so that they would be holy, for He is holy.  We have the designation of clean and unclean for the animals that live on the land, in the water and those who fly.  Those animals with a split hoof and also chew their cud are clean animals.  The animal must be both to be qualified, not just one or the other.  These animals also eat vegetation only.  The cow for example has a split hoof and chews it's cud, they even have three stomachs.  The three stomachs have be likened unto the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings (the Tanakh or Old Testament).  Animals of the water must have fins and scales to be clean.  Those without fins or scales are unclean, and science has confirmed that those without scales contain high levels of mercury.  The higher rate of mental disease has been linked with higher mercury levels. Many of the prized eats from the ocean are actually bottom feeders that are there to clean up the ocean.  While there was a time that fishermen would only seek to catch fish and would throw out the lobsters and crabs from their nets as garbage.  It has now, unfortunately to declining health seen as a great delicacy.  Animals who fly are designated by what they eat.  Those birds who eat the dead animals are not clean, a vulture would be an example of unclean bird.  The insect that is in the clean category is the locust because it has jumping legs. Eating an animal that is clean that was killed by another animal or came into contact with another dead animal now makes the animal unclean.
All of the distinctions we have here and throughout the Torah is to teach the children of Israel to be holy for He is holy and they were to be like Him!  When we turn from Egypt and come out from among them we too find that He, Yahweh will direct us to His good and right way.  There are many testimonies of those who have for years tried to consume the unclean foods and had many problems.  There is one where they would be terribly congested after eating shrimp and lobster and this only happened after consuming them.  Could it be that our bodies are seeking to be obedient to what Adonai has said from the beginning and now were are becoming conscious to His truth?  Is Elohim's word good enough without having to know why?  He is Avinu Malkeinu our Father and our King--certainly He really knows best!  To hear this again click here.

He Is Still Searching For The Blood!

Ephesians 2; Acts 17:2; Romans 7:25; Hebrews 10:22; Jeremiah 4:14; Leviticus 14:7; Numbers 8:7; John 17; Genesis 6:5; Hebrews 11:28; Exodus 12:7, 12:12; Hebrews 10:28-30; Leviticus 6:15; Deuteronomy 24:5

We are walking in today:  He Is Still Searching For The Blood!

Witness glorified throughout the Bible: H3591 kiydown meaning abundance, honor, glory, riches, splendid
Exodus 15:6, 15:11; Deuteronomy 28:58; 2 Samuel 6:20; 1 Chronicles 29:13; Nehemiah 9:5; Esther 1:4; Psalm 45:13, 66:2, 72:19, 76:4, 87:3, 111:3, 145:5, 145:12; Isaiah 4:2, 11:10, 22:23, 28:1, 30:30, 49:5; Jeremiah 17:12; Ezekiel 27:25; Luke 13:17; Romans 8:21; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 5:27; Philippians 3:21; Colossians 1:11; 1 Timothy 1:11; Titus 2:13


The beginning and the end are together--we have to go back to get the original understanding and His intent.  The Torah, Yahweh's teaching and instruction shows us how to live our lives to the maximum benefit for ourselves, family and community.  We have to find the correct and true intent of those early followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, later called Christians.
The battle between good and evil or rather functional and dysfunctional is a discussion throughout the volume of the Book.  Without principles how do we know in which we are operating in?  Today we are looking at the following words:
-conscious, the inner self that tells us what is right or wrong in our motives, thinking and conduct
-inclination, what we tend to like; what we gravitate toward
-imagination, the power of reproducing images with the images already in our mind and creating a new process

We are to told in scripture to cleanse our heart and get rid of vain thoughts.  That when we have our minds sprinkled with water to cleanses our evil conscious.  The words or phrases we read and hear are associated with images in our mind.  If we have a corrupt mind then we have been corrupted.  The study of His word and a repentant heart will turn away those corrupt thoughts or images that they are not lodged in our minds.  The thoughts of the righteous come from the voice of Elohim. 
Fiveamprayer we have been set apart and cleansed by His word.  This morning we are being taught how our inclinations can be changed. When we are sprinkled on our conscious with His blood, our thoughts are purified.  This will lead to us moving away from the bad or dysfunctional to the good or functional, by the leading of Elohim's teaching and instruction.  Click here to listen again

We are walking in today: Testimony Tuesday--Move Not From The Path, Yahweh Has Ordered Your Steps!


Witness heritage throughout the Bible:  H5157 nachal to inherit, occupy, bequeath, to take as heritage, cause or make to inherit
Exodus 6:8; Psalm 16:6, 61:5, 111:6, 119:111, 127:3; Isaiah 54:17, 58:14; Jeremiah 3:19; Joel 2:17, 3:2; Micah 7:18; 1 Peter 5:2-4


First and foremost, Fiveamprayer, Yahweh. Is. Sovereign.  We have to know this through and through!   He is above all circumstances and every foe!  The whole of the universe cannot not prevail against Him!!  No one and nothing can withstand Him!  Adonai is the lifter of the humble and sets down the proud.  He is The Sovereign of the universe and knows what is best for you.  You could not be in a safer pair of hands, than those of Elohim.  As we pray, Thy will be done--all His ways are right!  He has never made a mistake!  Wait on Him patiently. Fiveamprayer, where is your focus? Is it on your circumstance or situation? Or is it on Elohim?  Are you trusting in your inability or His perfect capability?  Have confidence and rise above your doubts, fears and situations to rely on Yahweh.  Only He will keep you from going under or being taken out!  He is the all-seeking, all-knowing, all-powerful Yahweh our Elohim!  Let the test you are experiencing, make you concentrate more on the Almighty One!  Speak of His goodness and mercies, remind yourself that you are in this world but are not of it!  This boils down to relationship with Adonai, that it is not restricted by what you feel.  Seek Him with your whole heart and mind!  Emotions should not be our only indicator of direction.  They are too easily swayed and misled.  Don't give power of your direction to a fickle thing!  That is why we are to bless the Lord at all times--not only when we feel like it.  If we don't feel like blessing Him does that mean that He is not worthy to be blessed?  Of course not, He is to be blessed at all times irregardless of how we feel.  Do loving parents in their tiredness stop caring for their newborn child due to lack of sleep?  Of course not!  How much more so for the creation to give glory and praise to He who Created all things?  We must no longer continue to put the blessing before our relationship with Yahweh.  Are you seeking His presence or presents?  To hear this again click here.

What Can Your Heart Teach You?

Genesis 2:15, 3:2, 22:1, 34; Ecclesiastics 12:13; Psalms 112:1; Job 28:28; Leviticus 19:3; Psalm 27:1; Jonah 1:16; Deuteronomy 10:16; Psalm 23:15; Titus 2:11-14; Jeremiah 29:13, 12:14; Romans 3:31; Proverbs 26:23-24

We are walking in today:  What Can Your Heart Teach You?

Witness counsel throughout the Bible:  H3289 ya`ats to advise, instruct, deliberate
Exodus 18:19; Numbers 31:16; Deutronomy 32:28; Joshua 9:14; Judges 18:5, 20:7, 20:18; 1 Samuel 14:37; 1 Kings 1:12; 2 Chronicles 10:8, 10:13, 30:2; Psalm 1:1, 13:2; Isaiah 16:3; Jeremiah 23:18, 23:22; Zechariah 6:13; Matthew 22:15, 27:1; Acts 5:38, 20:27; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 6:17; Revelation 3:18

Fiveamprayer we have been given His good and right way to go!  His Torah, the teachings and instructions on how to live our lives.  These instructions were first given to the children of Israel at Mt. Sinai.  These instructions were for both the individual and the community as a whole.  Which all worked together for the common goal or purpose.  Even the land gets a benefit.  This is how we find meaningful work to allow us to be co-workers with what Adonai has purposed.  We all have flaws but are still called to step out according to Elohim's instruction.  The question is, will we be obedient?  This is where we find the moral foundation of the world--from the Torah.  We find examples and settings of people's actions of the way to go or what happens when we miss the mark.  The Torah, the principles of Avinu Malkeinu's directions and are not up for debate.  The laws of the King rule His kingdom!  For Abba our Father is concerned  about all things that could and would happen to us.  The wars, famines, plagues and all other issues including our personal desires, which include selection of career and who to marry.  Fiveamprayer, the Torah has been written on our hearts and in our minds.  So we can better understand all that He has prepared for us!  Let us study to know and understand.  To listen to this again click here.

This morning on the Weekend Meditation we have to get the understanding of scripture. Before we go in to study, pray to the Almighty God for understanding that you would know when to look at things literally or figuratively. The context and setting of scripture, the authors and the audience are other things to consider in reviewing the text. We have to understand that effective speakers and teachers understand their audience and culture​.
The Bible was written by Jewish people to Jewish people.  This context and setting can not be set aside, for without this we are doomed to own misunderstanding.​

​   Look around, Fiveamprayer those who profess Jesus as their Lord stand on various doctrines that are in direct conflict with other portions of the Bible.  How could this be?  Various scriptures that are being pitted against each other, while His word is in agreement with His word!  Is this the plan of Yahweh?  Does this show the intent of His word? 

We need understanding of where we come from.  This did not all start in the year 2000, nor even yesterday.  How can we be at the beginning and yet still at the end?  This would suppose that in the letter  2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.​

​   If we would choose to stand on our 21st century context of the newer the better not giving heed that the new comes from the old the question would be: what did Timothy study as a child that was called the holy scriptures?  Certainly if he was reading and holding the letter in his grown up hand it is not the same scriptures he would be reading as a child.  We must study and when we do, then we find that there are cross references to scriptures in the Tanakh​

​ --that much of the Brit Chadasha comes from or refers to that which was first.  All scripture is given by the inspiration of God.  Fiveamprayer, we are to walk in the volume of the Book!  To hear this again click here: ​

Five Smooth Stones, Exodus 19--As Elohim Commanded

Exodus 19:1-10; Hebrews 8:13
 

We are walking in today:  Five Smooth Stones, Exodus 19--As Elohim Commanded

Witness light throughout the Bible:  H215 or to bright, enlightened, to kindle, make shine
Genesis 1:3-5; 1:15; Exodus 10:23; 13:21; 14:20; Judges 19:26; 1 Samuel 14:36; 2 Samuel 17:22, 23:4; Nehemiah 9:12; Job 3:23, 39:15; Psalm 27:1; 112:4, 148:3; Proverbs 6:23, 13:9; Isaiah 5:20, 8:20; Ezekiel 8:17; Amos 5:20; Habakkuk 3:4; Zechariah 14:7; Matthew 5:15; Mark 13:24; John 1:5, 1:7, 3:21; Acts 12:7, 26:18; Colossians 1:12; Revelation 21:11, 22:5

When people wonder why it is you do the things that you do--your response should be 'because Elohim commanded'.  We find this all throughout the word of Almighty God.  When He meets with the children of Israel and gives them instructions at Mount Sinai.  This was done after delivering them out of Egypt.  It is in the wilderness that they experienced great miracles, where He made a distinction between them and all other people.  He provided and protected them throughout this journey.  In this chapter of Exodus 19 we find it has been 3 months since leaving Egypt.  The people are shown that Moses was chosen by Elohim to lead them, that he would be His representative.  This provision was by supernatural means, by His mighty hand.  This is a covenant relationship that began with Abraham and is solely to the children of Israel. This was not based on Abraham's obligations.  The covenant that they received at Sinai is dependent upon the obligations up held by Israel.  This type of covenant has two parties: one with more power than the other.  Such as a king and a citizen.  During this time it was unheard of for a god to make a covenant with people.  This relationship of the Hebrew God with the Hebrew people has no parallel in the world.  They were not to be at Sinai because of what they did, only by Elohim's mighty outstretched hand.  It is in their acceptance of this covenant that they became His possession.  By following the instructions of Adonai they would receive from Him.  The Mosaic covenant does not replace the Abrahamic covenant--these covenants work together complementing each other. They were made to build on each other, not to supersede or negate the previous.  That which He has given us is perfect and intact, not made with a need to be fixed or replaced but are more deeply revealed.  To hear this again click here.

​Witness blindness throughout the Bible: H5788 `ivvarown ​

​and root word H5787 meaning condition of being blind, or smitten with blindness, both literally and figuratively blind

Genesis 19:11; Deuteronomy 28:28; 2 Kings 6:18; Zechariah 12:2-4; Romans 11:25; Ephesians 4:18​

​ The word blindness is often used throughout the Bible to show a persons lack of understanding and even used in judgement of those breaking the covenant with Elohim.  It is also used in protection of His people.  The eye is a gate​

​ as is the ear.  Fiveamprayer we have to be cautious of what we see and hear.  There are several layers of interpretation for the study of God's word.  When we look at blindness we find that those who are blind seek, grasp and stumble to find.  This is Adonai's will for our lives that we would seek and grasp His word--even if we stumble along the way, keep in search of Him and His word!  This is that deep down 'there has to be something more' that believers talk about.  We have a heartfelt desire to know Him again--we knew Him before we were created.  This desire shows that we could and would return to our Edenic relationship with Yahweh.  Fiveamprayer what are you laying your eyes to?  What is it that you seek with a serious focus and sometimes desperation?  Every time we learn something, that increases our insight.  The eye is often used as a metaphor for the condition of man.  Sight, vision and blindness are all in His hands.  He is drawing is to Him through our search, that we would study to find Him!  This time of study in Elohim's word gives us His truth and corrected sight!  The power to see comes from Yahweh!  The trick of the enemy was to have them in the garden to obtain sight in disobedience to Adonai's word.  This action caused them to loose what they had and what was to be revealed to them.  Click here​ to listen to this one!  That we would all come out of blindness into His marvelous light!​

Testimony Tuesday--Being Set Apart To Be Tested!

We are walking in today:  Testimony Tuesday--Being Set Apart To Be Tested!

​Witness covet throughout the Bible:  H2530 chamad meaning desire, take desire in precious things

Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21; Micah 2:2; Romans 7:7, 13:9; 1 Corinthians 12:31; 1 Corinthians 14:39-40

Abraham was tested by Adonai, to sacrifice his only son that was of the covenant with Him.  Also being called a friend of Adonai, this request seems strange until we look deeper.  Fiveamprayer, also know this--that since he was tested by Elohim, why do we think we won't be tested?  This test on Mt. Sinai was to find out how much he loved God to be obedient to all that He had said.  So much so that the angel had to be sent down to stop his hand from harming Isaac.

We have another test with the children of Israel in the wilderness, they were given manna from heaven.  With this provision there was instruction of how much to collect and when it would be available.  This test is also in obedience to His word.  Those who gathered extra found in keeping it until the next day that it would stink and had worms.  This revealed their disobedience was not only evidenced to their household but to those around them.  Also those who went out to collect on the seventh day, the sabbath found none on the ground.  Had they kept double from the sixth day of collection it would have been fine to eat.
These examples, and many more throughout the Bible are testing us--man to find if we will fear God.  This fear is in reverence, obedience that we would be found seeking and keeping the instruction and directions given from on high.  Nowadays, we approach the Almighty in any fashion and make any requests of Him.  This is really showing what is in our hearts.  The further we get into the test, the impurities come up and we can either deal with them or hide them again under the surface.  Those He loves He corrects!  Thank You Elohim for loving us!  Those who belong to Him, are tested by Him.  Those impurities have to be removed, for He is holy and we are to be like Him!
To fulfill the purpose that He created you for is seen as perfection to Yahweh.  So the question is are you living according to His purpose for your life?  We have often spent much time in finding what we want to do with our lives with little regard to what the Lord God has to say about our lives.  That the door that He has opened for us--for what He has purposed, we may not walk through due to being distracted in 'finding ourselves'.  To hear more from this mornings message click here.

Fiveamprayer, truth is to be our way of life!  This is very important to Adonai.  His word is true, He is not a liar and we are to be like Him!  Thus we are to walk in the truth!  Not just when it is easy or profitable.  For according to His purpose that is one of the keys to profit, all according to His design.  Our words come to life after we utter them.  What are you giving life to?  Not only must our words be true, they are to be His words.  We are in a age of elaborate lies, the sophisticated lies that we see used by company CEO's before the bottom drops out, or political figures before disappearing from the election path.  We are often faced with such obvious lies that we don't even bat an eye.  In some instances we come to expect them.  What a sad state that the truth is no longer, consistently expected nor sought out.  Why speak ill of others to your own doom?  What is your intention in sharing this information?  Will all who hear this be uplifted?  Could this be a good deed that is being repeated or a tale of woe to make your situation seem better?  To hear more of this awesome teaching click here.

​ 2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.​

​570. You shall save the life of the one pursued by the avenger of the blood --Deuteronomy 19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.

571. You shall not pity the life of a pursuer, seeking to wrongly avenge the blood --Deuteronomy 19:6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.

The Tenth Commandment--Exodus 20:14 ​

Fiveamprayer, we have to know and understand that we will be tested--this test is not the trials and tribulations that come our way in this life.  There is a test from Adonai Himself before He takes us into our next place in Him.  This happens when we are close to walking into our calling in Him.  This is the big test right before we go in.  This pattern is repeated in the volume of the Book.  This is serious, if passed than we can proceed to being promoted and used by Almighty God.  If failed, on the other hand, can bar the door against us or cause a major delay in promotion.  We have to understand that Elohim tested Yeshua His son, than surely we will be tested too.  He will test those who have a calling on their life.  Fiveamprayer, we are being tested to find if we make the grade.  There are usually four areas that we are tested in:

--obedience, here we have Abraham that was sent to sacrifice his only son.  The son of the promise of blessing by God.  The question is will we be obedient to Adonai, no matter what?  In our time it would be very unlikely that would be our test.  But will we, allow the lust for material things to lead us away from God?  Will we place the pursuit of Him and His holy word above everything else?

--patience, this is where everything is done and now you have to wait.  You have been set up for a breakthrough, but will you move out of position?  This is the case with the children of Israel and Moses at the Red Sea.  They are in a position where they can neither go forward or backward.  They have to sit and wait, will they rely on Elohim?  Only moving when He says to move.  That question is also posed to us today.  Are we moving outside His will or where He has placed us?  One wrong move or moving at the wrong time could cause us to lose our position in His purpose.

--faith and belief, this is where you get a sneak peek of the things that you will face once you walk into your calling.  The children of Israel are at the entrance of the promised land and there are 12 spies sent in to bring back a good report of the land.  There are only 2 which return such a report, the other 10 only see the limitations and compare their strength alone in taking the land.  Because of this focus on self and not on what Yahweh has already spoken and shown in the wilderness, this report causes not only them but those that were moved to believe like them to not enter the promised land.  They spend an additional 40 years in the wilderness until all those 20 years of age and older die and it is their children, Joshua and Caleb who enter into the promised land.  Failure of this resulted in those not being able to enter the promised land to live, they only got a glimpse of it.  What is the response to those things that are obstacles before you?  You have already witnessed His power and might but do you falter from seeing the obstacles before you?  Fiveamprayer, don't walk out on the call that God Almighty has placed on your life!

--sin, this is the test that we see with the Son of Man, Himself.  After being immersed in the Jordan River, He is lead into the wilderness to be tested.  The devil meets Him to tempt Him.  Setting before Him various things to see what His response would be.  Had He fallen for the lies of the enemy, He would not be the perfect sacrifice to die for us at Calvary.  We all were in such a state that only a perfect sacrifice with out spot could redeem us once and for all.  Fiveamprayer what is your resolve to stay out of serious sin?  Will we make every effort to stay out of adultery, fornication and the love of money?  Flunking this test and you can loose your calling. Adam and Eve were placed outside of the garden for treason against the Lord God.  There may not be a second chance!! 

Hold fast to His word and submit your flesh to obedience to Him!  What can be lost is the open door leading  to your true calling.  Once lost with repentance we are forgiven but not able to obtain the access that once was available before we failed the test.  There is no protection outside of His law!  Every King has laws for His kingdom.  Yeshua Jesus abided by His laws, who are you not to?  To hear this again click here.
