Excellent interview… Could easily be my story. I really enjoy The Health Watchman’s interviews.
One neat/common thread is how many people cry out to God for “TRUTH” and then Continue reading “The Christian Mindset Keeps People From Understanding Torah”
119 How blessed are those whose way is blameless,
Who walk in the Torah of YAHWEH.
2 How blessed are those who observe His testimonies,
Who seek Him with all their heart.
3 They also do no unrighteousness;
They walk in His ways.
4 You have ordained Your precepts,
That we should keep them diligently.
5 Oh that my ways may be established
To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be ashamed
When I look upon all Your commandments.
7 I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,
When I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I shall keep Your statutes;
Do not forsake me utterly!
Got Torah?
Shalom.
While preparing this week’s lesson for our Shabbat fellowship, I was reading a study by Eddie Chumney and contemplating the sin of harlotry and how we, the people of YHWH, have such a propensity for it. At the end of his study there is an amazing prayer that just moved me to tears. It is a simple compilation of Scripture. I encourage you to read, ponder and even pray this prayer.
[Opening comment] I think it is time to stop building suburbs in Babylon and “come out of her My people”. May we join Daniel, who was on his face praying, while still in Babylon:
“O YHVH righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day–to the men of Judah, to the Inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and those far off in all the countries to which You have driven us, because of the unfaithfulness which we have committed against You. We have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts Continue reading “STOP building suburbs in Babylon!!”
Hosea 4:6 says,
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the Torah of your God, I also will ignore your children.”
You want God to remember you? You want His hand on your children?
Simple. Return to the Torah.
Yeshua (Jesus) the living Torah calls us to walk as He walked in the written Torah.
Shalom.
If you are like me, you have heard ten thousand times that Jesus/Yeshua died for our sin, the sin of the world, etc…
But did you know, Scripture teaches that He had to die for another reason?
Me neither. It never dawned on me, but it is clearly there.
He HAD to die because His covenant bride had played the harlot and His Divine righteousness demanded that He divorce her. His own law demanded that He could not remarry her except “she be released from the law concerning the husband.”
Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
What is His name? Do you know? Does it matter?
Rav Shaul, in Ephesians 2 says,
“…remember that you were at that time separate from Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Messiah Yeshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah….So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of Yahweh’s household,..”
If you are grafted into Messiah, then you are a no longer an alien, but one who sojourns with Israel.
Rav Shaul, in Ephesians 4, continues;
“…There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
Therefore,
The same Torah shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.
Ponder this today.
Shalom Aleichem, Pete
He who turns away his ear from listening to the Torah,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
The word ‘listening’ is from the Hebrew word ‘shamah’ of the same origin as ‘shema’ meaning ‘listen and obey.’
Ponder this.
Shalom. Pete
Deuteronomy 30 is an amazing chapter.
I won’t even dig into the first four verses that promise Yahweh will restore His people to the land and have compassion on us when we return to Him and obey His commandments…. I’ll save that post for later.
I won’t drone on about how He promises to prosper abundantly in body, offspring, produce etc, (vss. 8-10) those who keep His commandments and statutes…. That’ll make another good post in the future.
I won’t bother to show verses 15 and 16 that speak of the life and prosperity given for keeping all of His commandments… Just too much good stuff in this chapter.
Instead, I want to introduce you to the two witnesses Continue reading “Two Witnesses that Stand!! (See for yourself…)”
Short video that breaks it down so simply that even a child can understand!!
Marinate in that…
Shalom!
