The Second Commandment-Exodus 20:4-5 You shall have no other gods before Me.  You shall not make yourself a carved image nor any likeness of that which is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the water beneath the earth.  You shall not prostrate yourself to nor worship them, for I am the LORD your God--a jealous God.

Fiveamprayer this morning we are going to start the prayer conference early.  The key of knowledge is an very important key.  We have in scripture in Hosea that we are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge.  But what knowledge do we lack?  In this time and season where many have various degrees, certificates of the classes that they have taken, could this be true?  Certainly we with all of this information at our fingertips on the world wide web--we could not be lacking knowledge.  Let take a look at the rest of that scripture.  It is not only the lack of knowledge that we are experiencing but the rejection of it.  This rejection of knowledge now leads to the portion of scripture that many don't read. Yahweh will also reject us from being a priest for Him due to us forgetting the Torah of our Elohim.  He will also forget our children.  Wait does that scripture really say that!? 

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,I also will forget your children.
How can this be?  Yet take a pause and look around, turn on the news, the 10 commandments and prayer taken out of the schools and the increase in violence in the schools.  Not only looking at this in the public schools, we also are not teaching this to our children in our homes either.  Yet we are directed to so--Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NKJV)4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!  5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Questions for you to dig into to find the answers:

What is the Key of Knowledge?

How could Yeshua/Jesus say that the Key of Knowledge was possessed by the Pharisees?

How did the Pharisees take away the Key of Knowledge?  

What did the Pharisees not enter in themselves?

How did the Pharisees hinder those who were attempting to enter in?

Since the Pharisees did not possess Yeshua, what was it that they did possess?

Did the disciples of Yeshua possess the Key of Knowledge?

Did the early Christian Church possess the Key of Knowledge?

Do Christians today possess the Key of Knowledge?

​ We have to pay attention to what Yeshua is correcting in the Pharisees practices, it is instruction for us.  That we would learn to over step those things He is telling them and us not to do!  This is not a lay back situation, there is something for you to do.  But what?  How?  When?  Finding the key of knowledge and really pouring over the scriptures like a Berean ​for the best witness of scripture is scripture!  Take time out and slow down and study the Davar Elohim--Word of God.  As you study to find Him, you will also find yourself.  The purpose that He has for you that you no longer wander and have no direction.  Fiveamprayer, listen to this over and over this weekend.  It is such a powerful message that could not be captured here.  Click here to listen again.
