Rivers of Tears

Rivers of waters run down my eyes, for they do not keep Your Torah (Instructions/Law/Commands) – Psalms 119:136. The psalmist is saddened at the penalties being brought due to the people breaking the Torah.

If you just think for one moment how different the world would be if ALL people kept just one commandment, such as “do not steal”. There would be no locks on doors; there would be no robberies of homes or children kidnapped. There would be no one stealing the spouse of another person. Think about it! Does this sound like freedom or bondage?

 

 

Shame on any false teacher or pastor who has ever said Yahuah's (Yahweh’s) Torah is irrelevant and done away with. They are false teachers and liars and there is no truth in them. 

To the Torah and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light to them – Isaiah 8:20.
Any true servant of Yahuah (Heavenly Father) will teach only what is scripturally sound according to the Torah.

David said that all those who do not walk in the wrong, and do not sit in the seat of mockers, shall be blessed, but their delight is in the Torah of Yahuah (Yahweh), and they meditate in His Torah day and night - Psalms 1:1-2.

The Torah of Yahuah is perfect - Psalms 19:7.

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim (Almighty), and Your Torah is within my heart" - Psalms 40:8.

Now this is why I love the Torah and why you also should love it! Psalms 119:11-12, I have Your word treasured up in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Yahuah! Teach me Your laws.

His word (Torah) is written in our heart and if we love Him, we will obey His word. The Messiah is the living Torah and He walked it perfectly on earth and now His Spirit places the Torah in our heart by belief.

 

I love Your Torah Abba Father, as it keeps me from sinning against You.
How can I do wrong to You O, Heavenly Father, if I say I love You.
 
Praise YAH

The Torah

 

"Torah" is a word that you will likely never read in an English translation of the scriptures/Bible. Many other words will also not be found in an English translation, like “shofar.”

Many people do not understand the Torah because it is often improperly translated as "The Law." The word Torah in Hebrew means: "utterance, teaching, instruction.

“It comes from "yarah” (horah) which means: "to direct, to teach, to show" and derives from the stem "yara" which means: "to shoot or throw."

The word Torah: a) aims in the right direction, b) then moves to that direction.

The Torah (Humash), also known as the 5 Books of Moses or the Pentateuch.

The Torah is part of the Prophets and the Writings which are known as the Tanak in Hebrew or Old Testament in English.

The Torah has always been there…. from the beginning of man. The Torah was passed down from Adam to his sons, and they passed in turn down by mouth to their sons.

 Noah knew the Torah and so did his family.

The Torah was communicated directly from Heavenly Father through Moses to the people of Israel and written on tablets. Father sent various Prophets to the people to guide, warn and prophecy to them.

The writings provide history, wisdom, revelation and prophecy to the people.

Sadly many today see the Old Testament as "old" (history) and so many only read the New Testament believing this is all they need.

Many even believe that Paul's (Shaul’s) letters are the most important part of scripture, which is one of the reasons there is so much confusion.

We do not realize that Paul's letters are just that "letters." Don’t be mistaken Paul did not preach a different message to the apostles.

 

In his time there was only the Old Testament (Tanak) which he studied and used this to spread the good news of Messiah.

Many are taught the Torah is “nailed to the cross”, which is not found in scripture. Some read Matthew 5:17 and say Messiah said He fulfilled the Torah but they forget to read the next two verses. Many also forget that if the Torah is nailed to the cross, then prophesy is also nailed to the cross and if that is the case, we have a major problem for future prophesy.

Matthew 5:17-19, Do not think that I came to annul the Torah (Law) or the Prophets; I did not come to annul, but to fulfill. Truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, in no way shall one yod or one stroke pass away from the Torah until all comes to pass. Therefore, whoever loosens one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the worst in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.

The Question is: has heaven and the earth passed away? The answer is “No” so the Torah has not passed away.

We cannot be saved by the Torah but the Torah leads you to Yahusha the Messiah = Salvation.

Read the complete chapter of Psalms 119, it is a beautiful psalm about the Torah.

Belief

 

 

The definition of Belief: ‘belief’ especially refers to the act of accepting something without proof and evidence. We use the noun ‘belief’ when we are talking about faith, confidence or trust in something. Belief is a noun that refers to the act of accepting something as true while believe is a verb that refers to accepting something as truth.

Faith = (Belief + Action + Confidence). Bottom line, belief is trust in the Almighty.

If any lacks wisdom, ask Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach and it shall be given to him. But he should ask in BELIEF, NO DOUBTING, for he who doubts will not receive at all. For that man should not think that he shall receive from the Messiah, he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways – James 1:5-8.

This is what Father says when you ask for something, Isaiah 65:24 that before they call, I (Father) answer. When they are still speaking (praying) I hear.

But be aware of this warning in Hebrews 3:12, look out brothers, if there be any wicked heart of unbelief, then there will be a falling away from the living Elohim (Almighty).

The power of belief is seen in, 2 Chronicles 20:12 the King of Judah was under attack and he was totally out numbered, he then asks Heavenly Father for help, these words he spoke to Father; we do not know what to do , but our eyes are upon you Father. The King had belief in Father. This is what Heavenly Father tells the King in verse 15; "do not fear, nor be afraid of this great army, for the battle is not yours, but Elohim's. Read the complete chapter 20 for the complete story of King Jehoshaphat. In verse 29, And there was a fear of Elohim on all kingdoms of the lands when they heard that Yahuah (Yahweh) had fought with the enemies of Israel.

Do you have belief and do you act on it as what this King did?

The keeping of the Torah is an act of faith for belief in the word of Yahuah (Yahweh) and a requirement for eternal life through the Messiah.

Matthew 17:19-21, Then coming up to Yahusha (Yahshua/Yesha/Jesus) privately, the disciples said, Why were we not able to cast him out? And Yahusha said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there! And it will move. And not a thing shall prevail over you. But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

Did you hear what Messiah said! If you have belief, you would be able to move mountains. Remember the words above about what belief means; act of accepting something without proof and evidence. Noah and Abraham are two examples of people that acted on their faith in Yahuah (Yahweh). Noah builds the ark and Abraham left his family and security to go to an unknown land. Did Heavenly Father give Noah proof/evidence of the flood to come, no, he had belief in what Father told him.

How did Noah have belief? I have thought about this many times. I realized it was not difficult for Noah to obey this request and build the ark. We know Noah was a righteous man (scriptures tells us),  in other words he followed and obeyed Yahuah (Yahweh) all the time. Not just sometimes, he did not just say “I believe in the Almighty Creator” and carried on living and doing his own thing. He grew up learning Yahuah’s (Yahweh’s) ways, doing His will and not his will. He heard Father’s voice, not voices from other gods but only the Almighty’s voice. I can imagine if Noah lived today, he would not listen to rock/punk/pop music or spend time watching sport and idolizing a sport star. No, I think he lived a life of following Father by what His word says and believe he knew exactly when Father spoke to him. He knew when someone spoke to him in his spirit that it was only from Yahuah (Yahweh). There was no confusion as to what voice he was hearing.

We are so busy with our own things and of the world that we do not hear His voice or we not sure who is talking to us.

If we want to move mountains then we need to look at how Noah became righteous or Abraham or Isaac or Paul. What did Messiah say in Matthew 17: But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting? We need to pray and fast. His word says so.

Hebrews Chapter 11 is about the belief of Abel, Enoch, Abraham, Jacob, Sarah, Joseph, Moses. They heard Father and acted.

John 11:35, Yahusha wept. Do you think Messiah was weeping because of the death of Lazarus, no, He knew He would be resurrecting him. He was weeping due to their lack of belief in what He was about to do.

 

 

Hebrews 3:19, So we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. Obedience is the evidence of faith and both are needed to enter Yahuah’s (Yahweh's) kingdom. They go hand in hand and don't contradict each other.

Romans 11:20-23, Well! For unbelief they were broken off. And you stand by faith. Do not be high indeed, but fear. For if Elohim did not spare the natural branches, fear that it may be He will not spare you either. Behold, then, the kindness and severity of Elohim: On those having fallen, severity. But on you kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise, you will also be cut off. And those also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For Elohim is able to graft them in again.

HalleluYah, He has so much love and patience.

Galatians 6:17 From henceforth, let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Master Yahusha. Paul had the physical marks of torture that he bore in his flesh for the faith and belief that he had in Messiah.

2 Tim 3:14-17, But you keep on in what you learned and were assured of, knowing from whom you learned, and that you have learned from your childhood, the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through belief in Messiah Yahusha (Yahshua/Yesha/Jesus).

Mat 8:8 & 10, And answering, the centurion said, Master, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only speak a word and my child will be healed. Verse 10, And hearing, Yahusha marveled, and said to those following, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel did I find such faith.

This man believed just by Yahusha’s word his child would be healed. How many of us today still believe that in His Name you can be healed. Not going to a doctor but only by calling on His Name you can be healed. Do you have belief?

You cannot have belief as Simon Magus had in Acts 8:18-21, who offered money for the faith the apostles. Peter told him; May your silver be with you into destruction, because you thought to obtain the gift of Yahuah (Yahweh) through money. You have no part or portion in this faith because your heart is not straight before Yahuah (Yahweh).

There are many people today just as Simon Magus, who think money can buy everything. Many teachers heart s are also not straight before Yahuah (Yahweh), for them it is for the money, the traveling and luxury.

James 2:14-17 & 26, My brothers, what is the gain if anyone says he has faith, but he does not have deeds? Is the faith able to restore life to him? But if a brother or a sister is naked and may be lacking in daily food, and any one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but does not give them the things the body needs, what gain is it? So also faith, if it does not have deeds, is dead being by itself. For as the body is dead apart from the spirit, so also faith without deeds is dead.

Deeds are the evidence of your faith as YHVH’s (YHWH's) spirit is not barren and if there is no deed to back up your faith, then you don't have any faith.

How does faith come? Romans 10:17, then faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of Elohim. To practice one's faith there must be daily study of the word of YHWH and then taking action.

Revelation 13:10 If anyone gathers captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone will kill by a sword, by a sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

The patience and faith of the saints is fully trusting in YHWH and not taking matters into one's own hands, as everyone will reap what they sow.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are the ones keeping the commandments of Yahuah (Yahweh), and the faith of Yahusha.

It is quite clear that at this time the true believers in Yahusha are keeping the Torah in faith and obedience to the one who wrote it, (Rev 19:13, Joh 1:1-3, 14).

Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing wonders and great signs among the people.

 

Bless and Praise YAH

Deception

 

The opposite of truth is "lie" or "falsehood," but so is "deceit" & "deception."

Satan, the devil, is the father of all lies, there is no truth in him - read John 8:44. He is also the great deceiver (Revelation 12:9), deceiving the whole world. He started his work of deceiving in the garden of Eden, and he has been doing it ever since, even coming as a messenger of light, and through his ministers who present themselves as ministers of righteousness.

 

 

 

 

Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 that false prophets, apostles, pastors, deceptive workers masquerade as teachers of Messiah in Paul's time and today in our modern time.

In Matthew 24, speaking about the days prior to His return, Yahusha (Yahshua/Yesha/Jesus) Messiah warns us no less than 4 times against being deceived (or lead astray) during the last days (verse 4, 5, 11 &24).

If anyone says anything about Father’s word or you read something from someone e.g.from the internet or a book and the content or information (or video) does not correspond with scripture then you need to question this. If an article/book/video talks about some truth and the other half is not from scripture, again do not just accept what was said or seen. I remind myself daily when reading or watching to be watchful/careful/aware of what Messiah said, be careful not to be deceived”. These were Messiah’s first words in Matthew 24, be careful not to be deceived, no matter who the person is.

Sometimes people may say or publish something that is not all true but will do it in error, not realizing the mistake. Any true person who has Messiah, which makes an error, will accept correction from someone else showing him his error. Correction is done in love as Messiah also corrected people with love.

It is written in scripture, we must test everything to find out if it is true (from Father) or false (from satan), test everything even what the pastor preaches.  

The world and its system are run by satan and his followers, which are out to deceive, steal, kill and destroy wherever they go.

Paul (Shaul) reveals this to us as well in 2 Thessalonians 2, and explicitly warns us about "lawlessness" (rebellion) taking over in the place of Worship. Literally this means a defection from truth.

This lawlessness is associated with "deceit", "falsehood" and "delusion." Satan knows all the tricks in the book to deceive you; he even uses church leaders to spread his lies.

But evil men and pretenders will grow worse and worse, leading astray and being led astray – 2 Timothy 3:13. Look around you, what Paul has written here in this verse is all around us, there are many pretenders who say with their lips they follow Elohim but their actions show a different story. Be awake; remember the Messiah’s words not to be deceived!

How would you know what is truth or what is false when a preacher preaches it to you?

The only way is to love Heavenly Father/Messiah, walk in righteousness, give your life 100% to Messiah which in turn will give you His Spirit to guide and show you the truth.

You need to spend quality time reading Father's word (scripture), to have a relationship with Him, to understand His will (desire), by doing this, deception will not over run you.

So that we may no longer be children, being blown and carried about by every wind of false doctrine of men, who through their craftiness are very skilful in deceiving the people; - Ephesians 4:14.

Stay in His word, and you will not be blown around from one corner to the other corner. Satan only comes to deceive and destroy by tickling the ears with little truth. Many people are confused between the truth and what is man-made given by their father the devil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have the Spirit of Messiah, then no one, not even satan will be able to deceive you! He may try but he will fail!

WARNING: Take heed of yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them; and the anger of Yahuah (Yahweh) glow against you, and He shut up the heavens, and there be no rain, and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahuah (Yahweh) is giving to you – Deuteronomy 11:16-17.

More WARNINGS: Or do you not know that unjust ones will not inherit the kingdom of Elohim? Do not be led astray (BE NOT DECEIVED), neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the corrupt, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous ones, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists shall inherit the kingdom of Elohim – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

Do not be deceived; bad companionships ruins good habits – 1 Corinthians 15:33. Is this not true, you will be like the people whom you associate with. Bad friends only mislead you to do bad things.

Proverbs 13:20, says He who walks with the wise shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be broken.

Do not be deceived by bad friends/family, as it is better to be rejected by friends/family than by the Almighty.

Do not be deceived, Elohim (Almighty God) is not mocked. For whatever a man may sow, that he also will reap – Galatians 6:7.

Lastly; Because many deceivers went out into the world, those not confessing Yahusha (Yahshua/Yesha/Jesus) Messiah to have come in the flesh, such a person is a deceiver and an anti-Messiah – 2 John 1:7.

Love Heavenly Father the Creator with all you have

05.05.2016

    Indescribable – The movie

During the week I watched a movie called "Indescribable". The story is about a 10 year old boy who has a problem with loving Heavenly Father (Yahuah / Yahweh)…. For example as stated in Matthew 22:37 and Deut. 6:5. The boy could not understand how to love Father without seeing Him, touching Him or hearing Him.
After many weeks of struggling with these thought s and feelings his dad tells him the following: You love Heavenly Father with all you have;

1)      How to feel Him – To feel Him, your spirit has to connect with His Spirit which He gives to you. You show loving kindness by sharing and helping others.

2)      You have to spend time to know Him - To know Him; you need to pray to Him all the time. Speak to Him like you speak to your earthly father or mother or other family member. You need to have a relationship with Him.

3)       You need to spend time to understand Him - To understand Him, read and study His word (the Bible), His word gives understanding. Through His Spirit you receive wisdom and truth.

4)       You need to take action - To act; you need to obey Him by doing His will/desire which you will learn from in His word. Once you read His word, you then need to live His word.  

If you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, son, daughter or any material item that you love so much that you cannot be without, Heavenly Father is asking that you Love Him more than those or these things you love here on earth.
 
Think about it for a moment, your most loved one, Father/Messiah wants you to Love Him more. All the time and effort you make to spend time with your loved ones; Father wants you to spend much more time and make a greater effort with Him.

It could be difficult doing this because we cannot see Him, but if you feel Him, know Him, understand Him and you act on all these, feel, know and understand, you will have no problem obeying Him and having a relationship Him.

That is what Father Yahuah (Yahweh) wants from each one of us, He created us, He made us for a purpose, and all He asks is to Love Him with everything you are/have.  If we love Him then we will obey Him.

What is Yahuah (Yahweh) your Elohim asking of you, but to fear Yahuah your Elohim, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, and to serve Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being, to guard the commands of Yahuah and His laws which I command you today for your good? - Deuteronomy 10:12-13.

In Deut. 11:13, Yahuah (Yahweh) says the same thing again as in Deut 10:12-13, but verse 14 adds this; then I shall give you rain for your land….., verse 15, give you food for your livestock, and you shall eat and be satisfied. Other words He will bless you with anything you ask.

All the apostles in the New Testament gave up everything to follow Messiah and to teach the gospel of Heavenly Father's love. They lived for His kingdom and many payed the price for doing so, by being killed (except John). Is that not the ultimate love for Yahuah (Yahweh)?

The first and greatest command for you and me is…

Deuteronomy 6:5, And you (that is you and me) shall love Yahuah (Yahweh) your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

Joshua reminded Israel to guard the Torah (law) and love Yahuah (Yahweh) your Elohim and walk in His ways, and to serve Him with all their heart and with all their being – Joshua 22:5.

Messiah said in Matthew 22:37, “You (that is you and me) shall love Yahuah (Yahweh) your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

Mark 12:30, ‘’And you shall love Yahuah (Yahweh) your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first command.

Are you obeying this great command?

Is it difficult to give Him first place in your heart or in your life?

Do you feel Him, know Him, understand Him and act on Him, if your answer is “Yes” then He does take first place in your life.

 

Bless Yah
