Torah—the unparalleled dream— must be born within you.




Yah is unparalleled. He is Elohim, the intensification of all power. He is Adonai, the force of Yah upon the earth. He has forced His way into your life. He is healing you, He is raising you up, He is bringing you to the forefront, and now He is leading you back to His Teaching and Instruction.




Torah-the unparalleled dream-requires an unparalleled focus.




The reason people fail is due to broken focus. Apart from the Spirit-led lifestyle of the Torah, we often operate in a spirit of confu-sion. That's why so many are constantly trying to confess things into existence, vainly trying to strengthen their faith and focus. What you don't realize is you are not the one making it happen. Yah alone is the One making it happen within you. He formed you from a pattern that is unparalleled. When you finally step into your purpose (Torah), you will achieve an unparalleled focus, and your strength and energy will come directly from Yah.




Torah-the unparalleled dream-requires an unparalleled passion.




The Hebrew root word for passion means en-ergy. When you have a passion for something, you also have energy for it! Passion is energy! Passion is enthusiasm and strength. Passion is a vital clue to the path that the Holy Spirit has chosen for your life. Every unparalleled achievement requires an unparalleled passion that only comes from Yah.




Torah-the unparalleled dream-requires unparalleled favor with others.




You need unparalleled favor to be able to communicate this message of the Torah to people. Joseph received favor from Pharaoh. Esther received favor from the king. Ruth received favor from Boaz. When the hand of Yah is upon you, favor will come. One day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor. Sow favor, expect it, protect it, and respect it. When someone shows you favor, sow favor!




Torah-the unparalleled dream-requires unparalleled preparation.




Jesus prepared 30 years for only 3½ years of ministry. Some vocations require many years of college before you are truly prepared to walk in your career. Yah is preparing you for His millennial reign leading into eternity. He is equipping you as laborers sent out into the great end-times harvest-the greatest evangelistic epoch mobilizing the Gospel to the ends of the earth. You are being taught in a school. Your Teacher (Rabbi) is Yahusha, Jesus Christ, and you are His student. You are learning to walk like the Rabbi walks. You will think like the Rabbi thinks. You will talk like the Rabbi talks. You will learn His ways because you are His disciple.




Torah-the unparalleled dream-qualifies those who deserve access to you.




The Torah imparts Yahly discernment to you regarding people. It reveals those who are assigned to walk with you and those who are not. Yahusha passed by the crowds of curious onlookers. He passed through the religious-minded Pharisees and spiritual leaders, yet He shared an entire meal in the home of Zaccheus, the tax-collector.




Torah or Law in the English translation of the Bible means instruction, guidance, teaching, and direction, led of the Holy Spirit for walking with Yah. Torah does not mean a legalistic set of rules one must follow in order to be saved. The Western view of Torah is legalism, but this is not the Biblical view, nor was it the view that Jesus and Paul held.
