TIKVAH YISRAEL

HOPE OF ISRAEL


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

 

Hid no more/ PAY ATTENTION

 

 The LORD looks from heaven and beholds all the sons of man. Psalm 33:13

 

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.  Elijah our grand son was watching a cartoon and he said “ turn it off, they are too mean! Out of the mouth of babes.  Just consider the television crime, the video game violence, the news, the movie industry.  The hate of Israel, the crime in our city and the world over. It is not going to change, we as a society have adjusted to it and now consider it status quo.  PAY ATTENTION

 

 “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

 

“Wherefore take to you the whole armor of GOD that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.  Ephesians 6:13

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.

YESHUA IS LIKE FLORIDA ORANGES,

PURE AND SIMPLE

GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

IF TAKEN DAILY HE WILL STIMULATE YOUR MIND

AND CAUSE YOU TO HAVE IMMUNITY

FROM ANY MORAL SICKNESS OF THE WORLD

HE CAN INCREASE YOUR WELL BEING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

“FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK, AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART.”  HEBREWS 4:12

BE STILL

 

PSALM 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

HAVE YOU GONE INTO YOUR PRAYER CLOSET, BOWED DOWN AND COMMENCED TO PRAY? GENERALLY FIRST, WE EXTEND OUR ARM OF FLESH AND ASK FOR HELP FOR THIS OR THAT. THIS IS OK ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURE.  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.  AS WE GROW, WE WILL SEE WITH HIS EYES, LOVE WITH HIS PASSION, WORK WITH HIS STRENGTH.

 

“HOLD THY SHALOM AT THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD GOD; FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS AT HAND: FOR THE LORD HATH PREPARED A SACRIFICE, HE HATH BID HIS GUEST.” ZEPHANIAH 1:7.

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.

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 Egypt ”. And GOD went before them with a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of cloud during the day. Exodus 13:17-22.  HE lead them every step of the way.  Do you think when we sought salvation it was going to be the fastest route with the least number of distraction????????????????

 

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord led me to read Nehemiah 4 this morning and I believe that this is exactly what we are doing here in Terre Haute.
 
What I got from reading this was,
verses1-3
 Satan is really mad at the people of God who are rebuilding Terre Haute and surrounding areas.
 He would like to stop the work by telling people what can a few feeble Christians do. Do they think they can rebuild Terre Haute
and surrounding areas in 21 days. How can a people who have let there city sink so low think that it can  be rebuilt.
verses 4-
But all we need to do is pray harder.
verses5-6
We cannot stop praying when the 21 days are finished.
verses 7-9
Satan will try to destroy, but all we need to do is pray harder. God is our protection.
verses 10- 
When we become tired, God will provide reinforcements, and strengthen us.
verse14
All we need to do is remember who is really doing the fighting.  The Lord is fighting for our Friends, families and even our homes.
verse 15-19
We need to remember to pray for one another to guard them from Satan's attacks. God will always be by our side to fight every battle,
He is the one who is fighting the  battle in Terre Haute and surrounding areas, we are only soldiers in God's battle.
verse 20-21
We are never to give up, and we are to carry our spiritual armor with us at all times.

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

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.

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.

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:

  1.  Those who are in at the beginning.
  2.  Those who hear about the happening. If it appears to be succeeding, they’re in.
  3.  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!

Adonai has been preparing His people for a long time, the preparation is done, now we are in the season of Change. 

Isaiah 43:18-20 (ASV)

 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,

Isaiah 48:5-7 (ASV)

 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.



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”

James 4:17

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?

 To bow down in the presence of our HOLY GOD, to be able to speak to HIM, to seek, to cry, to beg, to whine, to draw strength, to talk, to plea, and more. WHAT A PRIVILEGE, yet we take it for granted.  Do at our convenience, wait until something happens, play at, ask some one else to do it for us, read books about how it is done etc.

 

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.
