OUR FATHER, WHO IS IN HEAVEN!!

Psalms 103:13-18
(Complete Jewish Bible)
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,
YHWH has compassion on those who fear him.
14 For he understands how we are made,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 Yes, a human being’s days are like grass,
he sprouts like a flower in the countryside —
16 but when the wind sweeps over, it’s gone;
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the mercy of YHWH on those who fear him
is from eternity past to eternity future,
and his righteousness extends
to his children’s children,
18 provided they keep his covenant
and remember to follow his precepts.

Our Creator
Our Father in Heaven.

His Love for you and I, is so unfathomable, so extensive and multi faceted, BUT, yet it hinges on the simple fact, that we, his children "keep his covenant and remember to follow his precepts ".(v18)
AND FURTHERMORE, this Love from YHWH wasn't just something from the past, but "eternity past to eternity future " (v17)

YHWH IS the same yesterday, today and forever!
His Ways do not change.

YET, so many people have made YHWH into an Image of their own device. They think themselves to be SMARTER than YHWH by twisting His precepts and covenant, into their own liking.

They HAVE NO FEAR of YHWH!(v13,17)
For if they did, they would know the True and Living Elohim does not submit His Self to our will, but only ask that of us.

As an earthly father, I want the best for my children. I am pleased when they do right.
Beloved, how much more, is our Father in Heaven, pleased when his children do right.

YHWH has GOOD PLANS FOR YOU!(Jeremiah 29:11)

Yeshua Messiah, leads us into the GOOD PLANS, because he is the direct IMAGE of YHWH in Spirit and Truth. Yeshua's Will is the direct IMAGE of YHWH'S Will. They are Echad with each other.
Perfect UNION.

Today is the day, that you too, can become Echad with YHWH. All it takes is for you to say "nevertheless Father, not my will, but YOUR WILL BE DONE " !
Yeshua is ready to lead you into Reconciliation and Restoration with our Father in Heaven!

Won't you join Him in this journey today?
There's never been a better time than now!

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER!
HONOR YHWH!

Exodus 20:12
Complete Jewish Bible
12 “Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the land which YHWH your Elohim is giving you.

Proverbs 23:24-25
Complete Jewish Bible
24 A righteous person’s father will be filled with joy;
yes, he whose son is wise will rejoice in him.
25 So let your father and mother be glad;
let her who gave you birth rejoice.

How much more so, will YHWH be honored, by us bringing honor to our parents!

As the writer of Proverbs 23 repeats wise instruction for children in their own life, we're reminded of the instructions from YHWH, our Creator and Father in Heaven.

As a parent, we're given the opportunity to raise up our children in a manner that teaches them the Ways of YHWH. As they grow up, it's THEIR responsibility to remember those instructions and live them out.

In doing so, YHWH tells them that "things will go well for them ". (Exodus 20)

Beloved, do you bring Honor to your parents?
Do you Honor YHWH?

We all fall short, sometimes.

Let today, not be one of those times!

Yeshua brought the ultimate Honor to YHWH by saying, " not my will Father, but YOUR WILL BE DONE ".
Won't you join Yeshua in this same way?

There's never been a better time than now!

Shalom yall!

FIRST LOVE AND COMMITMENT!

Echad with YHWH

When a believer first encounters the living Elohim, there is a distinct, fiery awakening of what Scripture calls our "First Love." Too often in the modern world, we look at that initial passion as a purely emotional, fleeting experience. But when we look through the lens of the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), we discover that this "First Love" was never meant to be an amorphous feeling. It is a radical, consuming posture of the mind—a total commitment to the Torah (God's teachings and instructions) and the B’rit (His Covenant).
​To return to your First Love is to return to a mindset where YHWH'S instructions are not a checklist of external rules, but the very lifeblood of your soul.

​It starts with the heart.
​The hallmark of this First Love is a refusal to let our relationship with Adonai remain skin-deep. When you are captivated by Him, the external stones of legalism shatter, and His instructions move directly inward.
​Consider the foundational cry of the Shema in Deuteronomy 6:5–6. The CJB renders it with a visceral urgency:
​"You are to love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, all your being and all your resources. These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart;"

​When the fire of your First Love is burning, you don’t bargain with YHWH about how much of yourself you have to give. Your mind, your emotions, your physical stamina, and your bank accounts are all placed on the altar. It becomes an all-encompassing devotion because His Torah has been written into the fabric of who you are.
This is the very essence of the New Covenant promise that Jeremiah and the writer of Hebrews point toward. YHWH says, "I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their Elohim, and they will be my people."

​When the Torah is written on your heart, you no longer need external coercion to obey. Your mind and your identity are entirely rewired by His truth.

​You can't get enough of this new found LOVE.
​When a believer is operating in their First Love, their thought life undergoes a beautiful, single-minded shift. The things of this world lose their luster, and the Word of YHWH becomes a literal obsession.
Psalm 1 captures this perfectly, describing the blessed person whose "delight is in the Torah of YHWH; on his Torah he meditates day and night."
​This is not a dry, academic study. This is the posture of a lover reading and re-reading a letter from their beloved. You don't look at the clock wondering when your bible reading time will be over; instead, you cry out with the Psalmist, "O how I love your Torah! I meditate on it all day long."
​This mindset transforms how you navigate reality. As Joshua was instructed, keeping this book on your lips and meditating on it day and night ensures that you take care to act according to everything written in it. The First Love mindset recognizes that divine success and true prosperity are found exclusively in aligning your thoughts with the thoughts of the Creator.

"Blind Faith " in the Hebrew is Na’aseh V’nishma.
​Perhaps the most striking characteristic of this passionate covenant mindset is an eagerness to obey before even understanding the full scope of the command. It is captured by the ancient, faithful cry of Isra’el at the foot of Sinai in Exodus 24:7:
​“Everything that Adonai has spoken, we will do and obey.”
​In the Hebrew context, this is Na’aseh V’nishma—literally, "We will do and we will hear." The modern, detached mindset demands to understand everything before committing. But the First Love mindset trusts the character of the Covenant Partner so completely that it steps out in immediate action.
​This obedience isn't burdensome or out of reach. As Deuteronomy 30 reminds us, this mitzvah (commandment) is not too hard for you, nor is it beyond your reach in some distant heaven. It is incredibly close—it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can simply do it. The First Love believer doesn't make excuses about how hard it is to follow YHWH; they find joy in the immediate ex*****on of His will.

​YHWH'S desire is that we become Echad in Spirit and Truth !
​Where does this intense, covenantal commitment ultimately lead? It does not end in mere human effort or empty ritual. The ultimate destination of this First Love mindset is the mystical and functional reality of becoming Echad (One) with YHWH.
​In Hebrew thought, Echad is not just a mathematical number; it is a declaration of complete, indivisible unity. When your mind is fully committed to the Torah and your life is bound to the Covenant, the dividing line between your will and God’s will begins to dissolve.

​To become Echad with YHWH requires two essential pillars: Spirit and Truth.
​In Truth: The Torah is the objective reality of who YHWH is. It defines His character, His boundaries, and His holiness. You cannot become one with a God you do not know, and you cannot know Him apart from His Truth, theTorah.
The First Love mindset anchors us to the unchanging standard of His Word, ensuring we are not worshiping an idol of our own imagination.

​In Spirit: The Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) is the divine breath that animates that Truth. Without the Spirit, the Torah remains a dead letter. But when the Ruach HaKodesh breathes upon the written Word within your heart, it becomes alive, fluid, and powerful.
​When your commitment to the Covenant marries the objective Truth of the Torah with the subjective fire of the RuachHaKodesh/HolySpirit, a profound union occurs. You begin to love what He loves and hate what He hates. Your steps are ordered by His rhythm. You no longer merely "follow" YHWH; you are bound to Him. You become Echad with YHWH—undivided in purpose, synchronized in heart, and walking as a living manifestation of His Covenant on the earth.

Beloved, this was what Yeshua Himself was, the very IMAGE of YHWH in Spirit and Truth, walking as a living manifestation of YHWH'S Covenant on the earth. (Colossians 1:15)

Yeshua's prayer for us, was to become Echad with Him and YHWH, our Creator and Father in Heaven!

Yeshua is ready to lead you into the TRANSFORMATION process of being BORN AGAIN INTO THE IMAGE OF YHWH.

FOR BETTER OR WORSE!

The exact phrases we repeat in modern wedding vows—"in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse"—do not appear verbatim in the pages of Scripture. Instead, they originate from the historical liturgy of the 1549 Book of Common Prayer.

​However, the spiritual reality behind these words is intensely biblical. In the Hebraic worldview, marriage is not a mere legal contract; it is a berit (covenant)—a binding, sacred, and lifelong fusion of two lives modeled after YHWH’s fierce, unyielding devotion to Israel.
​Using the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB), we can uncover the exact scriptures that mirror the deep relational weight of these vows, revealing how a Hebraic covenant holds fast through every extreme of life.

"For Better or For Worse" — Radical Loyalty
​In Western thought, relationships are often treated as individualistic or transactional. The Hebraic perspective, however, views covenant as unconditional chesed (steadfast love/mercy).
It means choosing the other person entirely, regardless of how circumstances shift.

​Ruth 1:16–17
​Ruth’s vow to her mother-in-law, Naomi, uses the absolute language of an ancient Near Eastern covenant. It is the ultimate expression of staying through "better or worse":
​"But Rut said: 'Don’t press me to leave you and stop following you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my god. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May Adonai bring terrible curses on me, and worse ones too, if anything but death separates you and me.'"
​Hosea 2:21–22 (vv. 19–20 in standard translations)
​When Israel was at her absolute "worst"—unfaithful and broken—YHWH did not abandon the covenant. Instead, He promised to re-betroth her in an everlasting bond built on His own character, not her performance ;
​"'I will betroth you to me forever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in grace and in compassion; I will betroth you to me in faithfulness, and you will know Adonai.'"

​"In Sickness and in Health" — Interconnected Flesh
​In the Torah, marriage is described as becoming basar echad (one flesh). From a Hebraic viewpoint, if my spouse is sick, a part of me is sick . You do not abandon your own body when it suffers; you nurture it.
​Genesis 2:23–24
​The foundation of the marriage covenant establishes an inseparable, organic unity:
​"The man said, 'This is now bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she will be called Woman [Hebrew: Ishah], because she was taken out of Man [Hebrew: Ish].' This is why a man leaves his father and mother and sticks to his wife, and they become one flesh."

​Song of Songs 8:6–7
​True covenant love possesses an unbreakable, unquenchable strength that withstands the ultimate sickness, decay, and even death itself:
​"Wear me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, jealousy passion relentless as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a fierce flame [of YAH]. Flash floods cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away."

​ "For Richer or For Poorer" — Shared Destiny
​In Hebrew, wealth (osher) and poverty (oni) are material conditions, but a covenant dictates that resources are entirely shared. Prosperity belongs to both, and scarcity is endured by both.
​Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
​This passage highlights how structural unity provides a defense against the financial or physical hardships of life:
​"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has no one to lift him up! ...A three-ply cord is not easily broken."
​Proverbs 17:17 & 31:11–12
​A true covenant partner is completely dependable, ensuring that even if material riches fade, the marriage remains immensely wealthy in trust and character:
​"A friend loves at all times; a brother is born for a time of adversity." (Prov 17:17)
"Her husband trusts her directly from his heart, and he will lack no good thing. She does him good and not harm all the days of her life." (Prov 31:11-12)

​ The Hebrew Meaning of Malachi 2:14
​In the Tanakh (Old Testament), marriage is explicitly elevated to a divine status. When men were abandoning their wives, the prophet Malachi rebuked them by reminding them of what a marriage actually is:
​"...Because Adonai has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant."

​ BELOVED, this is a picture of, A REFLECTION OF, the Echad relationship that Yeshua prayed for in John 17. That no matter what, we are in ACCORD with, in union with, ECHAD with Him and His Father, YHWH.
YHWH IS FAITHFUL!
Yeshua is Faithful!

Psalms 46:1-12
(Complete Jewish Bible)

(0) For the leader. By the descendants of Korach. On ‘alamot [high-pitched musical instruments?]. A song:

2 (1) YHWH is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
3 (2) Therefore we are unafraid,
even if the earth gives way,
even if the mountains tumble
into the depths of the sea,
4 (3) even if its waters rage and foam,
and mountains shake at its turbulence. (Selah)

5 (4) There is a river whose streams
gladden the city of YHWH,kingdoms were moved;
his voice thundered forth,
and the earth melted away.
6(5) YHWH is in the city.
It will not be moved —
when daybreak comes, YHWH will help it.
7 (6) Nations were in turmoil,
kingdoms were moved;
his voice thundered forth,
and the earth melted away.

8 (7) Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us,
our fortress, the Elohim of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
9 (8) Come and see the works of Adonai,
the astounding deeds he has done on the earth.
10 (9) To the ends of the earth he makes wars cease —
he breaks the bow, snaps the spear,
burns the shields in the fire.
11 (10) “Desist, and learn that I am YHWH preme over the nations,
supreme over the earth.”

12 (11) Adonai-Tzva’ot is with us,
our fortress, the Elohim of Ya‘akov. (Selah)
the holy habitation of ‘Elyon —

At first glance, some may skip the fact of who wrote this particular Psalm.
It was written by the temple musicians and given to "the leader ".
Written by "the sons of Korach " for King David.

These are the descendants of Korach, the man who lead a rebellious group against Moses and Aaron. His rebellion lead to the death of 250 people of Israel, who had come against the Will of YHWH. It was YHWH'S Will for Moses and Aaron to lead the people of Israel.
Korach's sowed discord and malcontent within the camp of the people of Israel.
A heavy price was paid in the sight of all the people of Israel, as they watched YHWH'S judgement against these rebellious people.

BUT, the descendants of Korach were spared, and they became the most loyal servants in the future temple. Serving as gaurds and temple musicians.

Beloved, this is a prime example that you don't have to let your past history, your past generations, determine your future. How you choose to walk in ACCORD WITH YHWH today is your choice.

YHWH'S desire for you and I, is that we walk in ACCORD WITH Him. We become Echad with Him in Spirit and Truth.

Colossians 3:5-11
(Complete Jewish Bible)
5 Therefore, put to death the earthly parts of your nature — sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed (which is a form of idolatry); 6 for it is because of these things that YHWH'S anger is coming on those who disobey him. 7 True enough, you used to practice these things in the life you once lived; 8 but now, put them all away — anger, exasperation, meanness, slander and obscene talk. 9 Never lie to one another; because you have stripped away the old self, with its ways, 10 and have put on the new self, which is continually being renewed in fuller and fuller knowledge, closer and closer to the image of its Creator. 11 The new self allows no room for discriminating between Gentile and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, foreigner, savage, slave, free man; on the contrary, in all, the Messiah is everything.

Beloved, verse 10 speaks of the Heart of YHWH.
That after dieing of our old nature, we become more like Him, our Creator and Father in Heaven.
That we actually "SHUV " , that is, return to The Father, in Spirit and Truth, reflecting His very IMAGE, just as it was in the beginning, before sin separated us Him.
We do this first by Teshuvah, repent of our fallen nature and turn away from it. Dieing of self.
Dieing of our will and taking on the Perfect Will of YHWH for our life.

Yeshua Messiah is ready to lead you back to YHWH and His Perfect Will. Becoming Born Again into the IMAGE OF YHWH, in Spirit and Truth!
Transformed into the Creature that we were Created to be like in the beginning.

Psalms 90:1-2
(Complete Jewish Bible)
(0) A prayer of Moshe the man of God:

(1) YHWH, you have been our dwelling place
in every generation.
2 Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
from eternity past to eternity future
you are Elohim.

IS YHWH YOUR DWELLING PLACE?

Beloved, I ask, because I see so many that have "built their own DWELLING PLACE, their own image of YHWH ".
Their traditions!
Their doctrines!
Their theology of what they want YHWH to be for them.

Psalms 90:1-2 are words from Moshe, the very person who met with YHWH on the top of Mt Sinai. The very person who talked with YHWH at the Burning Bush. The very person that recorded all that YHWH gave him to record concerning the Instructions for Life as well as the history of the ancient beginnings of this world and mankind.

Moshe calls YHWH "our DWELLING Place ".
In the DWELLING Place of the Most High Elohim, there can be NO other Way than His.

NONE OF MAN MADE DOCTRINE!
NONE OF MAN MADE TRADITIONS!

YHWH'S Will is PERFECTION in every way.

As YHWH asked others, were you there when I formed the world and hung the moon, sun and the stars? ( Job 38:4-7)

Quit adding to and taking from the Perfect Will of YHWH! His Word is Truth and Life for those who claim YHWH as their DWELLING Place.
Quit shaping YHWH into "your image " .

Come into ACCORD with YHWH.
Come into Perfect UNION with YHWH.
Echad with YHWH in Spirit and Truth!

YHWH IS our DWELLING Place!!
He is ALL we have need of!

His Son Yeshua is the direct IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD, YHWH, our Creator and Father in Heaven (Colossians 1:15)

Yeshua is ready to lead you into Reconciliation and Restoration with your Creator and Father in Heaven.

The Messiah’s Love
Brings
Unity in the Community

Ephesians 3:17-19 (Complete Jewish Bible)
so that the Messiah may live in your hearts through your trusting. Also I pray that you will be rooted and founded in love, so that you, with all YHWH'S people, will be given strength to grasp the breadth, length, height and depth of the Messiah’s love, yes, to know it, even though it is beyond all knowing, so that you will be filled with all the fullness of YHWH.

Yes, it is the example of the Messiah Yeshua and His Love for you and I, that teaches us how to live together in perfect UNION with YHWH, our Creator and Father in Heaven.
Yeshua's words in the Garden of Gethsemane,
"Nevertheless, not my will Father, but YOUR WILL BE DONE ".

If you have read any of these teachings on "Unity in the Community ", I pray that you have understood that the ONLY way True Unity in the Community, the very Body of Believers, the Children of YHWH, THE ONLY WAY, is when we let go of our will and let YHWH have control, let His Perfect Will, have dominion in our lives.
"Not our will Father, but YOUR WILL BE DONE in us and through us ".

When we give His Will FIRST PLACE in our life and in the Community, none, NONE of those things that separates and divide us from YHWH and each other will find residence in our hearts.

Beloved,, May YHWH bring peace and comfort to each of you.
May YHWH'S Love come to rest in you and through the Love of YHWH, the Unity in the Community, will be demonstrated.

Shabbat Shalom yall !

KVETCHING !
Grumblings in the Community!

Beha’alotcha: KVETCHING. The Yiddish word kvetch means a complaint or a complainer. The stories in the book of Numbers seem to follow a simple formula. The people complain. YHWH hears their complaints. He punishes them. It’s a simple lesson we never seem to learn: Don’t be a kvetch. In this discussion, we consider the power of a sour attitude and the dangers of being a malcontent.

In everything give thanks" is a timeless principle from 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
It encourages cultivating gratitude in all circumstances, recognizing that maintaining a thankful heart is an important part of personal and spiritual growth.
The passage doesn't ask you to be thankful for tragedies or pain. Rather, it encourages finding reasons to be grateful in the midst of difficult circumstances.
YHWH'S Will be done.
According to the text, this attitude aligns with a higher purpose, helping to center your mind on faith and resilience.
Practice Gratitude
Start Small: Take time daily to appreciate the little things, like a morning cup of coffee or a quiet moment of peace.
Refocus on the good things that YHWH has done and is doing in your life. When facing a challenge, shift your attention from the problem to what you still have or what you are learning.
Tell others how much you appreciate them, or write down daily reflections to keep a positive perspective.

Exhortation and encouragement to others, in return, helps build yourself up in gratitude and faith.
YHWH has GOOD PLANS FOR YOU!
Jeremiah 29:11
This, in turn, helps to build Unity in the Community.

The "old saying ", "misery loves company ", helps to sow discord and discontent in the Community.
KVETCH, Malcontent .
Don't give it any place in your heart.

Walk ACCORDING to YHWH'S Will, His GOOD PLANS!

Yeshua Messiah is our GOOD Shepherd who leads us to the Father and teaches us how to walk in Unity with YHWH and each other.

Wasting Kingdom Time!
Sowing DIS-UNITY in the Community.

​1 Timothy 1:3-4 (CJB)
​"As I exhorted you when I was going into Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus, so that you may command certain men not to teach different doctrine, neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than YHWH'S stewardship which is in faith."

​In Biblical history, tracking lineage (Yichus) served highly specific, practical purposes—such as verifying priestly lines (Levitical inheritance) or tracking the Davidic line for the Messiah.
​However, by the first century, these records were increasingly weaponized. People were using real or fabricated family trees to assert spiritual superiority, claim a higher status in the community, or engage in esoteric, mystical speculation about ancestral names. The study emphasized that when a genealogy is used to create a hierarchy of worth among believers, it ceases to be a record and becomes an idol.

​The Danger of "Stupid Controversies"
​Today's study also connects us to Titus 3:9 (CJB), which expands on what happens when we get bogged down in these debates:
​"But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, quarrels and fights about the Torah; for they are unprofitable and futile."

​In Hebraic thought, study is meant to lead to Halakha (the way one walks/lives out the faith) and Ma'asim Tovim (good deeds).
Arguments that are purely speculative and cannot be lived out practically are deemed "unprofitable." They build the ego rather than building the community. They create a self esteem built up to make others feel less important. Puffed Up!

​Identity In Messiah vs. Physical Pedigree
​The ultimate conclusion of the Hebraic perspective on this issue is a return to foundational identity. While earthly lineage has its place in history, the CJB underscores that YHWH'S stewardship is in faith (Emunah—active trust).
​Standing before YHWH is never determined by a physical family tree, but by a spiritual rebirth and an active, trusting relationship with the Creator. When we argue over physical pedigrees, we lose sight of the singular identity that actually matters

An argument "for the sake of Heaven" (Machloket l'shem shamayim) is meant to seek truth and bring people closer to YHWH. Debating genealogies does the exact opposite—it divides, distracts, and yields no spiritual fruit.

Yeshua consistently clashed with religious leaders who believed their physical lineage as children of Abraham automatically guaranteed them right standing before YHWH.
He radically shifted the focus from bloodline to behavior.
Yochanan (John) set the Hebraic tone for Yeshua's ministry by using sharp language against this exact mindset:"And do not start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Avraham as our father!’ For I tell you that YHWH can raise up children for Avraham from these stones!" — Luke 3:8 (CJB)

In a tense debate in Jerusalem, the Judean leaders attempted to claim ultimate spiritual authority based on their lineage:"They answered him, 'Our father is Avraham.' Yeshua said to them, 'If you are children of Avraham, then do the things Avraham did!'" — John 8:39 (CJB)
Yeshua took it a step further, stating that if their actions were murderous and hateful, their true spiritual lineage was not from Abraham at all (John 8:44).

Beloved, we shouldn't give place in our hearts to such things that only bring division to the Community of YHWH.

We MUST "die of self ". Such thoughts and beliefs do NOT reflect the IMAGE of YHWH.
They don't reflect the IMAGE of Yeshua.
And, they don't reflect the IMAGE of someone who claims to be walking in the Spirit of YHWH!

Yeshua is ready to lead you into Reconciliation and Restoration with YHWH our Creator and Father in Heaven.

Won't you join Him in this journey today?
There's never been a better time than now!
