Welcome to Delilah's Corner
Thoughts from Delilah as God talks to her are recorded here for you to read. We pray that you will get fed from what Delilah is writing down as God directs her. Amen
SHEEP
Webster defines SHEEP n/plural sheep 1) a timid defenseless creature. 2) a timid docile person; one easily influenced or led.
Sheep is one of the few words that can indicate one sheep or numerous sheep. In a herd of sheep there are sheep that stay real close to the shepherd and there are some that wander away, never the less they know their shepherd. Y’SHUA says “ my sheep know my voice” this is so critical, that we know the Shepherd Y’SHUA’S voice; it is a calm voice that lends to direct and keep me/us from walking over the edge of a cliff, or identifies danger that I/we may not know is lurking unseen, He calls us to feed, He calls us to come sit at HIS side, HE is mindful that I/we bear watching; He will go on a hunt if one of us sheep come up missing. (Matthew 18:11-13.) As a single sheep it is critical that I know my SHEPHERD, and as a body of sheep it is the SHEPHERD’S intention that we are ONE; because we/I are timid, docile and can be influenced by the “unshepherd” he seeks to kill, steal and wants nothing better than to see us totally destroyed.
The SHEPHERD Y’SHUA is always looking to obtain more sheep to increase HIS herd. “Y’SHUA, when HE came out, saw many people, and was with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and HE began to teach them many things.” (Mark 6:34)

MAN UP
Say, why did Y’SHUA have disciples? Not because HE needed company, or HE was lonely; HE is the SON of GOD, in contact with GOD HIS FATHER constantly. It seems to me HE wanted help.
In Mark 3, Y”SHUA is really starting to hack off the Pharisees, they are watching HIM close, as if HE is a bad guy on a covert mission to usurp their authority and take over, put out their lights and do good on the Sabbath day.
A man is in the synagogue on the Sabbath, he has a withered hand; well Y’SHUA is there also, this is where HE ask the Pharisees the pointed question, “is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil…Mark 3:4. This really made Y’SHUA angry and sad for the Pharisees for their hearts were hard as stone;
So HE told the man stretch forth your hand and it was made whole as the other hand.
Well this really hacked the Pharisees off and they began to scheme their sting.
Y’SHUA and his guys left; HE could go but HE could not hide; people from every where came to find the guy who is the Master of fixing broken parts, they pressed HIM around about, just to touch HIM (we should be so driven) Mark 3:10. These people would just not quit; HE was healing everyone, unclean spirits would just fall down and declare YOU are THE SON OF GOD. (demons still have to do this) all that is created is to worship GOD’S SON.
I strayed from my main point—so we keep walking, so Y’SHUA took his 12 guys upon the mountain and HE ordained them that they should be with HIM, that HE might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons. Mark 3:14-15. Y’SHUA needed their help and HE needs our help today. So MAN UP, OR MAYBE…GOD UP.

FREE WILL
Webster defines 1: voluntary choice or decision 2: freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention.
Free will is not so FREE it may cost you, unless you do seek DIVINE intervention. Free will is like any gift of GOD it is freely given; there is not a cost of you but to GOD for without HIS gift to us, HE would not be GOD ALMIGHTY, BUT A DICTATOR. The cost that GOD has to forfeit, is that something (us) that HE created for HIS glory made in HIS image He places the right to choose HIM or the world; and that is where our cost comes in.
And the world passes away, and the lust thereof;
But he that does the will of God abides forever.1John 2:17

BECAUSE OF NOAH
BY: WANDA SULLINS
Because of Noah’s righteousness his wife, Sons and their wives were allowed on the ark with Noah. When we remain true to GOD, there is hope for our families. GOD saved Noah’s wife, sons and their wives because of
Noah’s righteousness. Never give up on our families, but we must remain in fellowship with GOD.
No matter what the circumstances around us may look like.
No matter what may be polluting the world where we live.
No matter what people may say.
As long as we stay in fellowship with GOD there is hope for our families.
The rest of mankind saw Noah building an ark, but they did not believe what GOD had told him. Building an ark as big as a football field on dry land.
Yet today GOD has told us watch for the signs, and HE has given us the signs to watch for throughout the BIBLE, yet how many really believe? As in Noah’s days, how many righteous men will GOD find upon the earth when the allotted time has been completed? “Then the LORD said to Noah,
Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen you are righteous before ME in this generation. Genesis 7:1

STRIFE
LIFE IS AND ALWAYS WILL CAUSE STRIFE, ESPECIALLY A LIFE THAT IS OFFERED UP TO GOD.
You know you are alive and breathing because of striving. You can carry on for the LORD and do HIS jobs perfectly even though there be strife; but behind your work though it be done well, behind your smile, behind your words; when you’re all by yourself, YOU struggle with GOD!?! We struggle with a closer relationship with THE SPIRIT OF GOD! We have little gnawing thoughts about where is GOD, we have little secrets that only we and GOD know. We keep walking though our flesh is exposed completely to our self and GOD. We keep striving with the thorns in our side, in our head, back, legs, feet, eyes, fingers, heart and mind. GOD knows about every one of them and HE may choose to leave them embedded and it is up to us to choose HIS grace sufficient to deal with each one of them.
Yep, flesh is flesh. Thank God HE loves us anyway, and though we struggle every day we have victory over the whimpy weak enemy who seeks to destroy us. Our FATHER from heaven looks upon the blood of redemption of YESHUA our MESSIAH.
Do not beat yourself up. REPENT, get up and keep striving toward the mark. The mark is HIM—HE has and is still preparing a place that is “alive and living, breathing, walking, talking LOVE OF THE CREATOR ADONAI, EL SHADDAI AND BECAUSE OF YESHUA we can come in when our SPIRIT exits the flesh of striving and we will become STRIFE-LESS.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Psalms 108:4

VERA’S ICU ENCOUNTER
1 Corinthians 2:9
At 2:00 am on a Saturday morning this year, I awoke to use the bathroom only to find out I felt very sick to my stomach as I stood up I knew I was in trouble; I called for my husband, to call for an ambulance as I was going to pass out, which I did, I awoke to find myself on the floor with the EMT putting me on the cart, that’s all I remember until I was in the emergency room with the staff frantically working over me. I could hear the nurse “why isn’t this blood [ressure staying up? I don’t understand she kept saying; I came in with a blood pressure of 80/00 severely dehydrated I felt like they had me almost standing on my head as if lay on the gurney.
Next thing as I was still feeling so deathly sick, I was asking the LORD to please take me home, thoughts came to my mind, will I be with JESUS or will I lay in the grave until HIS return; you know what it didn’t really matter because I felt such peace-peace like I had never felt before. It was glorious.
Then I saw the most beautiful angel wings, he didn’t show me the angel, just the wings; so beautiful, human words could not begin to explain.
As I was talking to the LORD I ask HIM to take me home, I thought nothing else mattered except to be with HIM. Later I realized there was a visible unfinished portion of a quilt in my view. At that time it was there but I didn’t really give it much thought. Maybe He is waiting for me because I then ask my FATHER, LORD is there anything I failed to ask forgiveness for or is there anyone I’ve offended or hurt that I’ve failed to make things right?
Then I saw baby JESUS and the cradle with the most perfect formed strands of hay draped over the sides, then the cross came into view, I could tell it was empty. Lord, I ask why is the cross empty? No answer. A little while later I see the baby JESUS in the cradle and HE said to me “ THIS IS WHY I CAME” then I see the empty cross again “AND THIS IS WHY I DIED, EVERYONE WILL LEAVE THIS LIFE WITH THINGS UNFINISHED.” The cross is empty because the work of the cross is finished. HE is the perfect one. Do not fear in death for the Christian it will be a wonderful transition from this world to the next. I am in HIS GRIP. Then I hear the male nurse saying “well her kidneys were not affected.
Then I see doves so white, flying back and forth at the base of the cross, I knew they were ministering and bringing comfort.
Soon I realized I was in the emergency room for nine hours, a long time for my family to wait.
Then when I was taken to ICU, the quilt I had seen came to mind again; what was that all about, I had not seen a whole completed quilt, just patches. How comforting of the LORD to have put something in my view that I love to do, quilting! But I could not make out what point it was at to be finished; then in the quite of the evening HE tells me “YOU CAN’T SEE THE POINT OF WHEN IT WILL BE FINISHED, BECAUSE IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF YOUR LIFE, ONLY I HAVE THE TIME AND DATE WHEN I WILL COME TO TAKE YOU HOME !”
The peace I felt during my time in the ER and ICU, was beyond what words can express. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
The ER nurse and my doctor later told me they had a hard time bringing me back. When the doctor discharged me he looked me in the eyes with a puzzled look on his face and he said “patients who come in here in your condition do not make it!!!!!! “ My FATHER I live in his hands.
Vera Ratcliff, friend and member of Mount Pleasant church and friend to Hope of Israel. Vera, had dinner with Wanda, Rita and I before the ladies fellowship and she shared her story and encounter with JESUS. So I ask her to share it with you all. What a word of blessing to our congregation and to the whole world. For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of Thy Hands. Psalm 92:4
July 8, 2010
I went back to my Doctor for a second follow up visit…He again pushed himself back in his chair from his desk, and looked at me square in the eye and said “it is not unusual for a person to die with being septic” “ well GOD has been good to me” I replied.

THE VALLEY
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THRU THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL: FOR THOU ART WITH ME; THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME. PSALM 23:4.
A small twinge of left chest discomfort made me remember King David’s Psalm today. Every breath we stand in that shadow; no matter in day or night, sickness or in health; we are a shadows depth from our LORD; a simple breath from HIS paradise. We cannot conceive the glory of the very presence of our Creator EL SHADDAI . Beyond that shadow are rivers and fountains of living water, the Holy Ark of HIS covenant that rest in HIS temple, the Tree of Life that bears fruit in all seasons, streets of gold. Angels voices singing praise. Loved ones strong that we last seen without life; they are content now, with joy radiating peace and eternal life; no more sorrows or pain for our FATHER has replaced a worn body with one that is truly in HIS IMAGE (Genesis 1:27). No war, no man-made anything. No lost loved ones, no divorce, no surgery, no lies, no any thing not of GOD. PRAISE WILL ABOUND FOR HE IS GOOD AND WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE.
REJOICE for the shadow of death has been destroyed and was long ago by the atonement of our MESSIAH YESHUA. WE WILL LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
There in paradise the knowledge of all things will be unfolded and we will understand, the woes of this world will be passed away and all things will be made new and we will know that the hard times we endured were worth the cost.
NOW ITS TIME TO IMAGINE HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US.

SAVOR
SAVOR—Webster: 1: to give flavor 2: to delight in 3: relish 4: to taste or smell with pleasure 5: a distinctive quality 6: pleasant to the mind, morally exemplary.
There are many scriptures about offerings that produce a sweet savor to the LORD GOD.
The sense of smell in human beings is the only sense that will trigger memory.
In Genesis when Noah took clean beast and fowl, he offered a burnt offering on the altar after the flood waters subsided. “ And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in HIS heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake….Genesis 8:21.
Every offering brought to the LORD had to be the best, the firstlings of animals without blemish, the first fruits, the first tenth of earnings; there could not then and can not now be flaw or what is left over or this instead of that, it must be the best when offered up to GOD. HE SACRIFICED HIS BEST FOR THE ATONEMENT OFFERING FOR our redemption.
Whatever we offer up, let it be the best; in every act of kindness, in time offered up in service to the LORD YESHUA, every tithe and offering, every prayer. Nothing but the best, so we may be pleasant to the mind of GOD, so HE looks upon us and it gives HIM pleasure; that we may be distinctive and morally exemplary in the memory of GOD…………………………………………………………

MAN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WOMAN Man and woman were not created equal; if so GOD would have created them at the same time, after all he is GOD (genesis 2:27) Maybe it was for dna purposes for reproducing the human race; or maybe GOD wanted man to feel loneliness; then he/GOD said it is not good for man to be alone, GOD performed a perfect sleep to fall on adam, excised a rib right out of adam’s chest, made eve, woke adam up and todah very much, the first love was so pure, so real, so holy. His bone her bone, his flesh her flesh, his god her god; they were one. Scripture says they became one. RULES OF GOD ESTABLISHED. DISOBEDIENCE ……..TROUBLE IN THE HOME. Poor communication between the two newlyweds. Maybe eve was out of her realm, the GOD of all this creation had made the rule, plain and simple; do not eat of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. maybe when that snake tempted her to eat it she could have thrown something at him, told him go away, she could have walked over and crushed his head, threw the fruit but no…. that’s the way with sin It is very difficult to let go once you perceive it is good, you latch on/sink your teeth into it and peel the identity off it, swallow it whole and it becomes a steady part of your diet. When one person sins the whole family is affected. But for Yeshua. As a father has compassion, for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear HIM.

DIS
Webster dictionary, Dis is the Roman god of the under world. The prefix
dis (let apart). 1: do the opposite of, 2: opposite or absence of, 3: not.
There are many words that can be hooked with this prefix/dis;
Disown, disconnect, displace, disable, disaffect, disagree, disavow, disband, disallow, disclaim, disbelieve, disappoint, disclaim, etc,etc.
Here is how to separate;
dis------grace. But grow in grace and in knowledge of our LORD and SAVIOR YESHUA THE MESSIAH to HIM be the glory both now and forever. 2 Peter 3:18
dis------courage. Arise; for this matter belongs to you: we also will be with you; be of good courage and DO IT. Ezra 10:4
Did you ever get “dis”d by someone: shake it off with the WORD OF GOD,
Send it back to the underworld. ALSO the next time you get ready to
“dis” someone, consider the root word and watch your mouth!
“GOD of understanding, guide me, for my own words sometimes baffle me. When I relate to those around me insensitively; when I hurt, embarrass or insult them; when I speak callousness that causes pain; when I lose myself in my own ego—GOD, pull me back to reality. Help others understand that I too am in pain and let them be forgiving.”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Last week the Haftorah tells of Joshua sending out 2 men to spy Shit’im and Jericho; they stayed at the house of Rahab, a harlot. The king found out and sent her word to bring them out’ Rahab sent the king of Jericho’s men on a goose chase and went upon the roof and laid out her heart to the 2 Israelite spies
We are full of fear, we heard your GOD dried up the sea, destroyed kings; I think she heard of swarms of locust, hail, boils on the whole of Egypt, rivers to blood, death of the first born of the heirs of Egypt. We know what the LORD has done for you and we are afraid and full of dread, we believe HE IS LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH . JOSHUA 2;1-24
My point here is that they only heard the stories, she did not see a single incident but she acquired knowledge by what she was told, she acknowledged that the Israelites GOD was GOD in heaven above and in the earth below. She acquired knowledge and she became responsible for it.
This is exactly the plan that GOD has for the whole world, we also have the Sacred Scriptures given to render fear, to make us tremble and believe in GOD then to declare that HE is GOD. So the world may know.
Rahab heard, feared, believed, confessed and she was saved, she and her whole house. Rahab was pretty smart, the way I see it she did not have to see to believe.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29

ATTENTION
The Webster dictionary defines ATTENTION/ the act or state of attending especially through applying the mind to an object of sensory perception or a thought. 2/ condition of readiness for such attention involving selective narrowing or focusing of consciousness and reception, often used as a command as in a soldier who stands erect in posture, heels together, arms at sides and eyes focused to the front, he will hear every command and is existence is in jeopardy as well as those he serves with.
Should we not be this attentive to our GOD, our YESHUA and the HOLY SPIRT OF GOD THAT DWELLS IN OUR SPIRIT AND SOUL? THE WORD OF GOD IS IN COMMAND OF THE EVERY BREATH OF LIFE WITHIN US.

WORK OF PRAYER
Consider to set aside time to work at prayer, as a HOLY work.
In our life we work at every thing, we expend energy at home, at a paying job to earn a living, in the yard, at love, even breathing requires that we work.
When a woman rises to clean a house, she has to purpose what it is that she is going to do. If she decides to sweep the floor she will need to push furniture aside to get the dirt underneath, she will dust second because dust has settled from sweeping; she takes care with dusting so as to handle the pretty things with a careful hand so as not to damage them. When a man gets up in the morning to go to the boiler room, he is rested and he purposes in his mind that this day he will do all the work that is placed before him and he will do it well to the finish. A child going to school has to decide he is going to listen to the teacher and learn. When I nursed in hospital and homes I had to address every aspect of a patient, I had to assess carefully, concerns addressed and care had to be administrated, it is an awesome responsibility to have another person’s life before you.
Well, that is what we face, every one of us who professes the LORD YESHUA. WE ARE TO WORK DILIGENTLY EVERY DAY TO PRAY FOR THE CONCERNS SET BEFORE US. “OUR PHYSICAL ENERGY IS A GIFT FROM GOD, ENTRUSTED TO US TO BE EMPLOYED FOR HIS GLORY.”(Come Away My Beloved, Roberts, 2002)
WE MUST ARISE TO ANOTHER DAY, SHOULD GOD ALMIGHTY DECLARE TO GIVE US ANOTHER DAY AND DECLARE THIS DAY I WILL WORK AT THE MOST HOLY WORK OF PRAYER AND I WILL DRAW NEAR TO MY GOD.
THEN SHALL YE CALL UPON ME, AND YE SHALL GO AND PRAY UNTO ME, AND I WILL HEARKEN UNTO YOU. JEREMIAH 29:12

I CAN
Thru out my life I have held on to the scripture “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13.
Last Friday night by the end of the second day of the Emmaus walk, at chapel time I was crying not from emotion but with pain so severe, I just wanted to go home, I thought I had bit off more than I could chew. I was standing at the back of the chapel and knew I was finished; Pastor Larry Swan came to me, I am sure he thought I needed spiritual counsel, boy did he walk upon what looked like just a sobbing woman. I, told him I have to go I can not stand to do this sitting any longer. So being a man of God he prayed and promised if I wanted to in the morning he would see I got home. I prayed and turned to go back to my cabin, I walked and cried and hurt and apologized to Yeshua. It was me and Him for real, I heard the word in my mind, heart “If Christ can go to the cross surely, I can do this” I said this over and over.
The United States Marines have a slogan, “pain is fear leaving the body”
The trials that we endure are to strengthen us and to show us we can do what ever the LORD of glory puts before us. Thank you all for your prayer and letters. I love you.

+++++++++ OVER THE TEETH James 3:6-8,10 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on the fire of hell.7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. If you can learn to control what goes out from your mouth this will allow GOD to put in and bring forth from your mouth that which HE wants you to speak. I was thinking about the difficulty I/we have in controlling our tongue; now days we also speak thru our fingers into this computer and it can speak at lightening speed. Try this, put your tongue over your upper teeth you will find this method allows you control over your tongue it is phenomenal you can not speak a word!!!!!!!! You will not be able to speak your thought or opinions, though they are screaming at your tongue to get out of your mouth. If you can master this technique you/me will be the biggest winner. “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is in vain. James 1:26 It is a small step for man/woman kind but IF mastered a giant leap to be more loving and effective in our living testimony for our GOD AND KING.

SEEDS
And YESHUA said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of GOD? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed……..Mark 4:30-31.
I wondered and thought on this, why did YESHUA compare the kingdom of GOD to a mustard seed? My imagination goes wild when I think about what heaven is going to be like. The FATHER and YESHUA are there waiting for us, the tree of life, streets of gold, a majestic temple, no pain, etc,etc.
IF, the seed of heaven is placed in your heart and spirit and it germinates, springs up and grows above the surface; you have no way of understanding how this occurs.
YOU HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND REST ASSURED HE IS THE ONE WHO PLANTS THE SEED, HE IS THE ONE WHO CALLS FORTH THE GROWTH AND HE IS THE ONE THAT COMMANDS THE SPRINGS OF LIVING WATER TO IRRIGATE HIS SEED, HE CULTIVATES IT.
So how can the Kingdom of GOD be compared to a tiny seed that grows so big it shelters and shadows the birds of the air??????????????
Then I found it………………..
AND WHEN HE WAS DEMANDED OF THE PHARISEES, WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHOULD COME, HE ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT WITH OBSERVATION: NEITHER SHALL THEY SAY, LO HERE! OR, LO THERE! FOR, BEHOLD THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU. LUKE 17:20-21. It is not about streets of gold, trees or anything material, it is about the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD that plants the seed of faith to believe that, HE IS. Then it is among you, within you. YESHUAS’ very life then, now and tomorrow. This is the Kingdom message. Believe it, let it grow within you and when it does faith is produced to shadow over all the cares you may have.
IS THE KING THE KINGDOM OR THE KINGDOM THE KING?
We are headed in the Kingdom direction—we can not conceive what the FATHER has in store for us.

BURNED OUT. THIS BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO ALL THE STREET LIGHTSAROUND THE CITY THERE MUST BE A LOT; I BEGAN ON THIS THOUGHT IF EACH ONE OF THESE LIGHTS COULD REPRESENT EACH ONE OF US AS OUR FATHER’S DISCIPLES.
SOME ARE BRIGHTER THAN OTHERS, SOME HAVE SERVED THEIR PURPOSE AND BURN OUT ONLY TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE BY THE CARETAKER OF LIGHTS.
SOME ARE RED LIGHTS THAT STOP PEOPLE, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP PEOPLE AND TELL THEM ABOUT YESHUA. WE CAN ONLY PRAY FOR OTHERS WHO WANT TO RUN THIS LIGHT.
THE GREEN LIGHT PEOPLE ALLOW THE TRAFFIC OF SOULS TO GO ON WITHOUT A WORD OF CAUTION FOR THEIR SOUL.
THE YELLOW LIGHT PEOPLE ARE SELF-CAUTIOUS AND HESITATE TO SPEAK THE WORD OF THE LORD TO THE SOJOURNER.
THESE LIGHTS BURN ALL THRU THE NIGHT.
DO YOU BURN, DO YOU SHINE TO SHOW THE WAY FOR THE STRANGER WHO IS LOST? YOU CAN. YES, YOU CAN. JUST TURN IT ON, YESHUA IS THE GREAT GENERATOR, HE WILL NEVER BURN OUT; BURN WITH LOVE OF YESHUA WHEREVER YOU ARE. “LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN” MATTHEW 5:16

NO STRIKE ZONE
Snakes are cold blooded creatures; if you come upon one all you have to do is run, he may chase you but in a short time he will over heat and have to stop the pursuit; this is why the snake must strike at you on the immediate encounter.
GOD has built in a sort of defense in us to escape from sin—if we turn from sin and run from it, it will not be able to over take us because
GOD IS OUR WITNESS
WE TURN, WE RUN, WE WON’T BURN
WITH DISIRE TO SIN.
Sin lies in wait, by chance you pass and linger only a moment it is easy to be smitten and poisoned by the attack.
It should not raise our brow that the arch enemy of GOD is likened to a snake.
In contrast there is nothing hidden by our LORD YESHUA, HE is standing right there HIS hand reaching and HIS eyes on you. HE does not hide; the whole world knows of HIM, HE IS THE SON OF GOD, GOD INCARNATE. HE took one step that crushed the head of the serpent. (Genesis 3:15). Therefore rejoice in our great LORD AND MESSIAH. HE HAS THICK HEELS.

Yeshua wants more from us than a faith that extends only to the point of healing or death, he wants us to have faith in his power that reaches beyond death and hopelessness. Our faith simply has to go beyond the point of what we see as dead or hopeless, be it a child gone bad, a marriage gone to divorce, an illness that does not respond to prayer, and as Yeshua never gives up on what appears dead or beyond hope; we need a faith that refuses to give up on anyone or any thing, no matter what it seems.

Love
LOVE WORKS NO WRONG TO HIS NEIGHBOR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW. ROMANS 13:10
We write songs of love but we don’t feel the music.
We take vows of love but base the intensity on feelings.
We recite poems of love that are words without faith.
We read books of love and fail when it’s time to practice our lesson.
We have sermons of love and don’t apply the scripture principles.
If you want to have a covenant marriage/life unite with the covenant maker, God.
If you want to love, let God love you and he will teach you To sing love, To speak love, To read love, To show love, To breathe love with every breath.

Have you seen the yogurt commercial on television, the grocery shopper comes to the cooler she takes a cup of yogurt looks to see if any one is looking, opens it and sucks down the yogurt.

“The wicked (yetzer rah) watches the righteous and seeks to slay him” Psalm 37:32. The enemy is not hidden, secret or covert he is blatant, now he wants to be seen. It is not a husband or wife gone to adultery; it is not a child taking candy from a store; it is not a Cain raised up against his brother. It is not a religion bent on overtaking the world and destroying anyone or nation who does not follow after their god. It is and has always been the presence of darkness of evil in our world. The enemy is a pawn in the hands of our GOD, he is being used to bring about events that will herald, the return of our MESSIAH KING YESHUA. PAY ATTENTION

+++++++++++++ DON’T LOOK BACK And YESHUA said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of GOD. Luke 9:62 My Mom Mary Ellen Noble, never worked outside the home. She was the best Mom, a wonderful housekeeper (clean was her mean game). The chore she really loved was her gardening. She learned the skill from her Mom and Dad in the hills and hollers of Kentucky. I would help her in the spring: it at times seemed she was obsessed with keeping the rows straight. Soon as the winter had passed the work began. The first chore was to plow; the old mule was brought to the shed and a plow was placed on his body; my Dad and the mule then proceeded to the garden that was in the back of the house. My Mom would stand at the end of the garden facing my Dad and the old mule; off they went to begin to prepare the ground for seed. Mom would stand and watch Daddy and if his head turned to the right or left at a rabbit or some other creature my Mom would yell out “line her up Floyd”. As the spring passed the plants would push up from the soil, it amazed me that they stood in straight rows. Here’s where I am going with this. As the THE LORD’S disciples we are plowers and planters, and YESHUA is the reaper. Once chosen and we put our hand to the plow we cannot divide the walk. The work of the Kingdom calls us to look ahead, do not look back at the past, at wrong done to us, at sin at nostalgia; there were no “good ole days”; your plow does not have a rear view mirror and neither does our GOD. Start looking ahead at YESHUA, HE IS STANDING THERE HIS HANDS ARE EXTENDED TO YOU AND HE IS MOTIONING YOU COME FORWARD, DON’T LOOK BACK. Our only direction is forward toward GOD. ‘I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of GOD in MESSIAH YESHUA.” Philippians 3:14.

HAVE YOU EVER JUST BOWED DOWN AND NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING, BUT ONLY TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE? IT IS HARD AS HUMANS TO BE STILL AND KNOW THE PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY. IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO STOP EXPRESSING OUR OWN WILL, TO FORGET OURSELF AND BE FULLY CONSUMED BY GOD’S PRESENCE. AS WE PRACTICE THE PRESENCE OF GOD WE WILL ASK FEWER AND FEWER QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS, WE WILL DECREASE AS HE INCREASES IN US. IT IS GOD’S WILL THAT WE BECOME “BROKEN BREAD AND POURED OUT WINE”. HE DOES NOT NEED OUR ARM OF FLESH, HE KNOWS ALL WE NEED: WHAT HE WANTS IS, OUR WILL TO COME IN LINE WITH HIS WILL, OUR SPIRIT TO BE CONSUMED AND INFLAMED BY HIS SPIRIT. IN TIME HIS PRESENCE WILL INCREASE AND OUR FREE WILL DECREASES AND WE WILL ABIDE WITH HIM CONTINUALLY. WE CAN LEARN TO LIVE WITH HIS HOLY PRESENCE IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE; WE WILL CO-EXIST WITH YESHUA. WE WILL LITERALLY BREATHE HIS BREATH. IT IS POSSIBLE, BUT IT TAKES DETERMINATION, TIME, LOVE AND DESIRE TO ABIDE IN HIM.

SHABBAT SHALOM, DELILAH 5 ADAR 5770 19 FEBRUARY 2010 ++++++++++ Friend Tonight Elijah, our 3.5 year old grandson,out of the blue ask “do you know god, me and him are friends” . So I took to thinking about this, what is a friend? Webster’s dictionary 1/one attached to another by affection or esteem, a favored companion. So, here are some of the things I came up with. 1.) Yeshua is your best friend. If married your spouse should be your best earthly friend. 2.) a friend is supposed to understand stuff about you that most people don’t want to understand or would find obnoxious . 3.) a friend listens when you speak. 4.) a friend loves and takes time to show love even when you are not so loving. 5.) a friend drives 100 miles to go to a movie, lunch and a cup of starbucks. 6.) a friend understands when you can’t make an engagement that you said you would. 7.) a friend comes back. 8.) a friends’ answers are full of truth and sincerity. 9.) a friend will listen, even in the middle of the night. 10.) a friend gives you a pass, if you don’t want to go. 11.) a friend loves Yeshua. A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly; and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 . abraham was called the friend of god. James 2:23. Yeshua said to his disciples’ I call you friends. Shabbat shalom Happy valentines day, Delilah 28 shevat 5770 12 february 2010 +++++++++++ GPS/GOD’S PATH SYSTEM Today in our automobiles we have GPS systems, that can direct us to any where we want to go; the first question it ask you after you have plugged in your destination address, is do you want the shortest route, the fastest route or the most number of freeways? It tells you ever turn you are to make. It guides you right up to the address and tells you “you have arrived” truly a no-brainer. The Holy Scripture tells us when Pharaoh finally did let the Hebrews go, that GOD did not lead the Hebrews the shortest route which was by the Philistines, for GOD said “lest they see war and repent and return to GOD still leads, HE loves it when we let HIM lead. HE is ever waiting for us to turn on HIS GPS. When we lead it may seem smooth but we eventually run across a nail, get lost or maybe even crash and burn, and at times we may even want to turn back cause this road of Yeshua is not easy. GOD LEAD AND HE DOES NOT WANT US TO TURN BACK , HIS WAY IS EVER FORWARD. “And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore thou cry unto ME? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward”. Exodus 14:15. At this stop the children of Israel stood with the Red Sea in front of them and Pharoah behind them!!!!!!!!!!!! SHABBAT SHALOM, DELILAH 21 SHEVAT 5770 5 FEBRUARY 2010 ++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ TRUTH We teach our children and grand children to always tell the truth, because someone taught us. I have told them truth is easy—just say what your heart sees, what your spirit identifies and you will never have to remember what your mouth speaks. Truth is recalled with out any difficulty, each detail is brilliant and you will know that you are right. Truth is eternal. Truth builds on truth, there is a heart home for every truth that the LORD reveals; and this home is built in your heart to house the truth; your mouth is the vent system that releases the truth when it can be and need be spoken. There is no compromising the truth, no half-truth. Yeshua said “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 SHABBAT SHALOM, DELILAH 14 Shevat 5770 29 January 2010 +++++++++ LET IT GO Through the ages people have wondered about Pharaoh. How could he have been so blind and stubborn? Well, maybe he was not blind to the miracles of GOD; but he was blind to himself. However, his stubbornness did serve to reveal the awesome power of the almighty GOD. Beasts, humans, life and death, winds, creatures of His creation were all affected. He mingled fire with hail that must have been huge since it killed man and animals of the field; even Pharaoh’s magic men admitted after the plague of lice, “this is the finger of GOD” Exodus 8:9 Think on this; we today can identify with Pharaoh; there may be a slave in our life that we do not want to let it go, we may consent and then take it back. We get scared and scarred about giving up the sin because it may serve purpose in our life. It may bring pleasure; it may be so insignificant that we have lost site of it; whatever it is it works for us. So, as Pharaoh, with our slave we give it up, we take it back, we give it up. Our heart can be hardened by stubbornness, justification and our free will. After the plague of locusts, Pharaoh, entreated Moses “ I have sinned against the LORD your GOD, and against you. Exodus 10:17. The LORD turned the wind and blew the locust into the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s heart was hardened again. Then there was a darkness so thick it could be felt; then death. The pattern of each plague can be related to sin. The deliverance can be related to the covenant of the LORD with Abraham. Time and time again we are given the opportunity to let our sin go. The favor is of the LORD given freely, the authority to let the sin go and be done with it forever “and see its face no more” Exodus 10:29. Even so, it is our job to break the bondage of our sin. And we can through Messiah who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13. “Being confident of this very thing; that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Messiah Yeshua. Philippians 1:6. SHABBAT SHALOM, DELILAH 7 SHEVAT 5770 22 JANUARY 2010 ++++++++++++++ STOP LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Psalm 39:4 As you have been driving down the street, you approach a traffic light, you apply the brake and slow to a stop. We do this as a human being. When my Dad stopped he was in an ambulance; when my Mom stopped she fell to the floor; when my brother Hiram stopped a car struck his automobile, when my brother Alex was flung from a boat he stopped. I was not there. As a graduate nurse I was assessing one of the first of many cancer patients, I was talking with her as I placed my stethoscope on her chest to listen to the rhythm of her heart I counted 38-and before I could think 39 her heart stopped. In a nanosecond her life stopped. All of the first disciples met untold pain before they stopped, but the Messiah Yeshua was with them, His Holy Spirit led them all the way. Our HOLY FATHER designed the act of dying with mercy and compassion, it is so quick. In one heart beat you will be in the presence of the LIVING GOD. It is comforting for loved ones to be with a person when they stop, but it really does not matter for only YESHUA can lead you thru it. When you come to your stop, you will finally arrive at the ENTRANCE TO THE EXIT. SHABBAT SHALOM, DELILAH 29 tevet 5770 15 january 2010

IT IS FINISHED
WEBSTER DESCRIBES THE WORD/FINISH/FINISHED 1.THE FINAL STAGE 2. SOMETHING THAT COMPLETES OR PERFECTS 3. THE QUALITY OF STATE OF BEING PERFECTED, MARKED BY THE HIGHEST QUALITY.
IT IS IMPERATIVE TO UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE WORDS FROM THE MOUTH OF OUR MESSIAH YESHUA, JOHN 19:30, HE SAID “IT IS FINISHED!”AND BOWING HIS HEAD HE GAVE UP THE SPIRIT.
THE FIRST DISCIPLES DID REALIZE, AND THEIR WORK BEGAN. THEY WERE LEFT TO TAKE THE WORD OF SALVATION TO THE WORLD AND THEY DID. IT WAS WRITTEN ON PAPYRUS, STONES AND ANIMAL SKINS; IT WAS SPOKEN IN SYNAGOGUES, THE HOLY CITY AND HOME CHURCHES, TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN; THEY PASSED IT ON AND ON AND ON SO IT WOULD NOT BE LOST, FORGOTTEN OR MISREPRESENTED. THEY KNEW EVERYONE THAT HEARD THE GOSPEL BECAME RESPONSIBLE FOR IT TO BE PASSED ON. ONE DAY, IT CAME TO YOU AND ME.
THE WORD WILL SURVIVE, IN THESE LATTER DAYS. THERE WILL BE ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY THE WORD AND THE PEOPLE WHO CARRY IT. WE MUST MAKE THE WORD ALIVE, TRUE, VISIBLE AND EVER BEFORE THE WORLD; PASSING IT ON AND ON UNTIL KING YESHUA RETURNS TO REVEAL THE WORD AGAIN, IN THE FLESH.
WE WILL ENCOUNTER HATE, BITTERNESS AND UNBELIEF JUST TO NAME A FEW OF THE ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL. WE MUST NOT FALTER; WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO GOD TO SHOW HIM WE ARE WORTHY WARRIORS OF THE WORD
‘I HAVE GLORIFIED THEE ON EARTH: I HAVE FINISHED THE WORK WHICH THOU GAVEST ME TO DO’ JOHN 17:4.
Yeshua said” I have given them the words which you gave me and they have received them and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me. John 17:8
AS YESHUA DID, WE MUST--- WITH EVERY BREATH OF OUR life.

Dear People,
If you were advised of a DIVINE EXPERIMENT, would you make plans to attend? Would you start to get excited about it? Would you tell others about it and ask them if they want to get in on the experiment? Would you share the anointing? Wouldn’t you even be the least bit curious?
You could share in the teaching, while waiting with bated breath to get your hands on the manual for five dollars and reread it 5 times so you knew exactly what you were supposed to have ready? Would you mark your calendar, request off work even if it meant you had to work on the 4th of July or some other big holiday?
Pray without ceasing for the success of the human element of this DIVINE EXPERIMENT. Set aside cash to offer up?
Well this is real and it is going to wake up the people here in Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley. It is possible for people to be of one accord. There are 3 different types of people:
- Those who are in at the beginning.
- Those who hear about the happening. If it appears to be succeeding, they’re in.
- Those who get on board cause they realize it was the place to be all along.
Which group best suits your way of doing things for the Lord?
This experiment happened in a 3rd world country and the whole village came to the Lord, the economics of the village improved, health issues were resolved, crime decreased. Life there had never been like it became. It was a GOD thing there was no other explanation. Now, no one wants that way of life to leave them.
So GOD really shows up; Don’t you want to be there? It will take all the faith you have. Are you willing to believe in your heart for this Divine Experiment to happen here?

Adonai tells us to trust Him and when we ask in Yeshua’s name, KNOW it is done, without doubt. Seems simple and easy enough to do, right? This is what Adonai revealed to me. I was praying for specifics: Home, Boaz, Finances, More of Yeshua…seemed to be in mire and walking slowly through the journey.
I prayed to Adonai that He reveal to me the root cause of my struggles. Then as I am going about my day it becomes clear to me that I am thanking Adonai for my home, and then asking Him to provide me with a home. I am thanking Him for my finances then complaining about my job…. I stopped. How many times do we Praise Adonai for His good gifts then ask him where are they? Double –mindedness: (of two elements) consisting of two different part. Stop!
The word of Adonai says in Psalms 119:113 I hate the double minded, but I love your law; and in James 1:7-8 (King James Version) 7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Yet there is hope, here is Adonai’s plan.
James 4:7-9 (New King James Version) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
When we thank Adonai for something, anything in one moment and turn around and ask Him where is it or complain against what His has provided. We are being double minded. Praise Adonai, the scales have been lifted from my eyes and I see clearly. We (I) repent, renounce and reject the spirit of double mindedness in the Authority of Yeshua. We bind and cast away the spirit of double mindedness in the Holy name of Yeshua.
We have to agree that this door is closed, shut and not to be opened again. We do resist the devil and he has to flee. I praise the Adonai for His Grace. Praise Adonai for this season of change. Hallelujah!
Bonnie Berry
Adonai has been preparing His people for a long time, the preparation is done, now we are in the season of Change. 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, 5 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. 6 Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known. 7 They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Isaiah 43:18-20 (ASV) Isaiah 48:5-7 (ASV)
Adonai is beginning a new thing, something we have never seen. Change is difficult and a hard journey for most. We as His people have to stand on His word and receive Adonai's strength to finish the season. Don't miss this we have to receive His strength to finish this season. Our trust and fear of Yeshua will be tested. Stand firm to His Word. We have to encourage one another and be ready to be amazed at what the Holy One of Israel, is doing now!

ABSTAIN
ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCES OF EVIL. (1 THESS.5:22)
Joseph when sold into slavery by his brothers, because of his good character he rose up from bondage to serve Potiphar. Joseph found grace because Potiphar saw that Joseph was favored by GOD. You know the story, Potiphar’s wife lusted for Joseph but he shunned her advances; one day he rose up to and went into Potiphar’s not realizing there were none of the men of the house inside (Genesis 39:11). Innocent and unsuspecting of the wrath of a woman; Joseph put himself in harms way and thus caused himself much trouble. But the LORD knew the truth and gave him favor in prison (Gen.39:21)
Now Judah, Joseph’s older brother made a promise to Tamar his daughter-in-law regarding the kinsman redeemer after her husband died, but Judah failed to keep his word. Tamar chose to pursue her rights. She dressed as a prostitute. Her charge was a kid goat. She collected collateral/ a signet ring, bracelet and Judah’s staff. When Judah sent his friend with a kid from the flock to pay and collect his stuff. Tamar was no where to be found. (Gen.38:23) Judah decided to let her take it lest we be shamed; 3 months laterTamar is revealing her pregnancy. When told to Judah, he had her brought to him to be burned. Apparently he did not relate his encounter with Tamar to her condition now..
Tamar, sent his stuff and said the father belongs to these things. GOD revealed Judah’s appearance of evil; Tamar delivered a set of twins Zarah and Perez; Perez was a forefather to King David and therefore, our Messiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recall the woman found in the act of adultery by some Pharisees, she was hauled into the Temple; They sure chose the wrong man to bring her before, they thought they were testing Yeshua, the evil one had failed at that earlier. Yeshua backed them down one by one, turned to her and said “go and sin no more” (John 8:11)
To abstain from any appearance of evil, remember people are always observing you, always beware of where you are, who is around and know the word of our GOD.
ABOVE ALL ELSE KNOW THAT HE IS PRESENT.

KINDNESS/TOOV LEV
Webster dictionary describes kindness/as a kind deed. The Hebrew word toov lev/kind-heartedness.
Each act of kindness can create an eternal moment where GOD is.
Yeshua said “ Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
And when we do not practice to do acts of kindness,
“there fore to him that knows to do good and does it not, to him it is sin”

WHEN
When GOD’S glory comes down a child is born.
When GOD’S glory comes down the sun flourishes the corn.
When GOD’S glory comes down a boy’s daddy comes home.
When GOD’S glory comes down the soul searching ceases to roam.
When GOD’S glory comes down a stone was rolled away from the tomb.
When GOD’S glory comes down the enemy was doomed.
When GOD’S glory comes down flowers bloom.
When GOD’S glory comes down HIS word is revealed.
When GOD’S glory comes down the captive is released
In all things can the glory of GOD be seen..
When GOD’S glory comes down in the twinkling of an eye
Darkness will be dispelled and all prophesies will be fulfilled and we will survive. HALLELUYAH!!!!!!!!
THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL ENDURE FOREVER; THE LORD SHALL REJOICE IN HIS WORKS. PSALM 104: 31

AT ANY GIVEN TIME
ON NOVEMBER 02, 2009, I WAS WAKENED FROM SLEEP AT 4:30 AM; I KEEP A JOURNAL ON THE BED SIDE TABLE BECAUSE OUR FATHER WAKES ME AND I HAVE WORDS FLOWING THAT I DID NOT THINK OF. HE GAVE ME THIS…………………….
MATTHEW 6:6-9”
OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN (THE PERFECT REALM))
HALLOWED BE THY NAME (GLORIFIED, BLESSED, PRAISED, AND HONORED BE YOUR NAME ADONAI ELOHIM)
THY KINGDOM COME (IN SPLENDOR ETERNAL, AND COULD IT BE SOON?)
“WHEN WE PRAY THIS SEGMENT OF THE LORD’S PRAYER WE ESSENTIALLY ARE PRAYING FOR GOD” 2 CHRONICILES 2:6
GIVE US THIS DAY (TO LIVE IN ANY GIVEN DAY AND DEPEND ON GOD FOR ALL OUR SUSTENANCE AND TO KNOW THAT IT IS SUFFICIENT)
OUR DAILY BREAD (BREATH, FOOD, LIFE, HIS WORD PROVIDES NOURISHMENT TO MIND BODY SOUL AND SPIRIT)
FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES (BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB)
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US ( TO JUDGE NOT)
LEAD US NOT IN TO TEMPTATION (LET US NOT BE AFFECTED BY TEMPTATION)
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL (TEACH US HOW TO IDENTIFY EVIL, DEAL WITH IT BY THE AUTHORITY OF YESHUA’S RESURRECTION POWER, DESTROY ANY ELEMENT OF EVIL MOMENT BY MOMENT)
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM (HE CREATED THE KINGDOM, HE OWNS IT AND IT IS IN HIS POSSESSION)
THE POWER (TO DO ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL)
THE GLORY (MAJESTY, BRILLANCE, BEAUTY, SPLENDOR)
FOREVER (BEFORE CREATION YOU WERE AND FOR ETERNAL YOU WILL BE GOD)
Half Kaddish
Let the glory of GOD be extolled, let HIS name be hallowed in the great world that HE willed to be created. May HIS kingdom soon prevail, in our own day, in our own lives,
And the life of all Israel. And let us all say amen. In Yeshua’s name.

WHERE ARE YOU?
Consider that before the advent of our MESSIAH AND HIS ATONEMENT FOR OUR SIN, we could not approach the throne of ELOHIM. We at one time would have had to stand outside the TEMPLE, send in the a High Priest who had better be clean and all prayed up before entering the Holy of Holies once a year on Yom Kippur to offer atonement for the sin of all. Y’SHUA’S blood made the last atonement forever, for man and me. The veil of the HOLY OF HOLIES WAS RENT and now we can approach the throne of the HOLY GOD. Yes, it is now a divine and holy gift.
We can now go in. It is ok for what ever matters, what ever comes about in our life…….SO, WHERE ARE WE?????(GENISIS 3:9) And GOD called to Adam and HE said, Where are you?
It is a humbling act to bow before GOD; at first you come so stained, impossible to see past the dirt but GOD can and HE WAITS AND WAITS. Y’SHUA sits beside the throne and intercedes for us time after time. This system can not fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we should all aspire to have calloused knees. He is open all the time.
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17.

CREATION
In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth. 2. and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the SPIRIT OF GOD moved upon the face of the waters. 3.and GOD said, Let there be light and there was light. 4. and GOD saw the light, that it was good: And GOD divided the light from the darkness. 5. And GOD called the light Day, and the darkness HE called Night. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIRST DAY.
Every Holy Day and every Shabbat begin at the evening, at sun down???
We end each day at the beginning of a new day. A new day begins at the end, we lie down at night to rest and sleep to awake as the day is now 11-12 hours old. GOD planned rest for us in the beginning of the day so as we could start our duties of the day refreshed.
It is a profound mystery that penetrates our life every single day. When Y’SHUA THE MESSIAH came into our life, salvation was created in us as the dawn of the first sunrise, a new day dawning; the darkness was revealed to us, separated and identified as a life that was dark, void and without form. Then as we began to move away from the darkness because of the light of the SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS our worlds change and the creative power of GOD changes our world FOREVER.

PAVILON/MEEKLAT
Webster describes this word/pavilion as a large spacious tent, something resembling a canopy or tent. The Hebrew word, meeklat; shelter; refuge.
In our back yard there are 12 huge trees, they are so many beautiful colors now. The boughs droop down over the back porch to form a canopy and it truly is peaceful; I often sit there and look up to GOD and talk to Y’shua.
King Da’vid writes to us in Psalm 31:19-20 “Thou shalt hide them in the secret place of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues”. All strength is available to us if we draw near to the LORD; it is proportionate to our nearness to Y’SHUA. The HOLY SCRIPTURES promise that if we draw near to HIM, HE will draw near to us. The more we draw near the stronger we become and our arch enemy dreads this, he sits up and pays attention when we develop power and take authority, satan dreads our acknowledgement of the presence of GOD, he cringes when we seek nearness to GOD.
Psalm 27:5 “ For in the time of trouble HE shall hide me in HIS pavilion: in the secret of HIS tabernacle shall HE hide me; HE shall set me upon a rock”.
If we go to seek the presence of GOD, HE will reveal the “deep and secret things, for HE knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with HIM”. Y’SHUA in Mathew 6:6 tells us “ to enter into your closet, shut the door, seek the FATHER’S presence and HE will see us, HE will hear us, regardless of the matter and the FATHER who sees will reward us openly because HE sees our desire to be shoulder to shoulder with HIM.
What I am trying to say is, to desire with your whole heart to be in GOD’S presence in HIS secret place. It is the key to SHALOM.

IDOLS
The stone was found.
The gold was melted and pound.
The silver was melted, the dross shined off and the tree was cut and carved. (Psalm 97:7)
The elements in these things are created by the GOD of all creation. These are the same elements HE used to create man; HE just set them in a different way.
Atoms fixed to stick together just the way GOD says to do; all things created, a pattern spoke by GOD.
Then one of HIS creation said to another, did GOD really say you shall not eat…you will be as gods knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:1) don’t you want to know, don’t you want to know, don’t you want to …………….. So man bowed down touching the ground. HE said do not bow down, do not bow down NO OTHER god’s before ME.
But man did, he cut, he bound, he pound, he shines and he still bows down.
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, you are our gods. Isaiah 42:17

INTERCESSION
October 2,2009
Intercede, Webster reports to mean/ (inter-+ceder=to go more at); to intervene between parties with a view to reconciling differences; mediate.
The Hebrew /lefasher beyn=between.
To approach the throne of GOD that is what we do when we pray, and pray for others. That is what Y’SHUA is doing for us continually. HE is our intercessor and we are to intercede for others as HE does for you and me. “Wherefore HE is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to GOD by HIM, seeing HE ever lives to make intercession for them”. (Hebrews 8:25).
Now, what did Y”SHUA pray when HE was here, as a man walking around here on earth, running across sickness, hunger, evil, work, people trying to cause him trouble etc, etc; you know the kind of stuff we endure each living day of our life??????????????? He was fully man who went up to the mountain to pray regular. HE prayed for------
1.) DIRECTION—Luke 6:12-16 then HE went down and called out HIS disciples, surely that required the FATHER’S HELP.
2.) STRENGTH TO OVERCOME TEMPTATION—Luke 22:40-42 as HE drew near the end HE advised them “pray that you enter not into temptation”surely that required the Father’s strength.
3.) TO OVERCOME HIS OWN WILL—Matthew 26:39 HE knew what was ahead and HE could have decided, no-way but HE knew the will of the FATHER is always a better choice.
4.) INTERCEDED FOR OTHERS—John 17:11-26 HE in the most critical part of HIS life, chose to pray for others. HE knew there is no better time or right time to pray except the here and now!!!
Now, why after we belong to HIM thru his salvation, being we have to live and work and etc, would we invest this kind of time and effort on self and others? For Heaven sake, yes that is it—Matthew 11:12. But all attacks can be turned into good and HE is preparing us to reign with HIM. So go ahead pray, pray at ever opportunity, pray when someone asks you to, pray right then.
