Micah 7:18-20 TLV
[18] Who is a God like You pardoning iniquity, overlooking transgression, for the remnant of His heritage? He will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. [19] He will again have compassion on us. He will subdue our iniquities, and You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. [20] You will extend truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, that You swore to our ancestors from the days of old.

Elul 14
Unmasking the Soul

Today’s readings: Psalms 40, 41, 42, 27 and Job 15

We tend to think of the English word “face“ as describing the outer layer of a person. However, in Hebrew, the word for face - panim - comes from the same root as pnim meaning “interior.”

In the Hebrew language, things are named for their essence. And here Hebrew teaches us that the essence of a face is the opposite of what we think of ordinarily.

For many of us, our face has become a mask for our feelings rather than an expression of holiness. We have learned how to put on a smile while feeling terrible inside, or how to shed tears as a manipulation or pretense when we are not truly sad. In this instance, Hebrew is telling us what the face is supposed to convey, not what we do with it.

We can relate to this understanding when we consider the English phrase, “two faced.”

It is common to think that the outside should reflect what is on the inside to be true. But the truth is, the outside teaches us what should be on the inside. For we know what is right but only change what others see. Man looks on the outside but God looks on the inside. We must become aware when the inside is not the “face” we want seen on the outside. Yeshua has the power to help you change into who you know you should be.

When you find that what is on the inside “interior” is not what you want seen on your face, you know there is sin to deal with. Ask Father to reveal the root and turn to Yeshua to lead you into removing it.

Elul 4
The Truth Within

During the month of Elul we read the portions in the Torah: Shoftim, Ki Teitzei, Ki Tavo, Mitzavim/Vayeilech. We also read the last for haftorahs of the “seven weeks of consolation,” which follow the “three weeks of affliction”. For seven weeks, beginning with the Shabbat after the ninth of Av, the Haftorah readings consist of prophecies describing YHWH’s consolation of His people and the rehabilitation of their relationship.

On the first Shabbat of Elul we read Shoftim, which commands us to establish a judicial system. This is a major theme of a Elul: preparing for the cosmic day of judgment. This is followed by the fourth Haftorah of the seven weeks of consolation, in which YHWH says, “it is I, I myself come to comfort you.”

Many people do not think of religion as freeing. They think of it as a limiting, dogmatic, oppressive. This is because the religion they have been exposed to is an invention of human beings. The religion they know is not the religion of YHWH; it is not the religion of the Torah. If your experience of religion is not freeing, then you have fallen into a man made trap. Freedom is Divine; it cannot be human. As soon as it’s human, then there someone who’s in control of it, someone who wants to sell it to you and own it. That is when religion becomes another form of slavery; it becomes oppressive because it has lost its divine nature. That’s why the Torah was given, so that there would be a permanent record, a source that everyone could refer to.

Isaiah 51:12 “It is I, I am He who comforts you...”.

It is Yeshua in us, doing the work of salvation through obedience, that sets us free!

Are you getting ready for Passover/Pesach?
Remembering our Messiah, and as we break unleavened bread, we do it as in remembrance of Him. His redemptive blood. He is the reigning coming King of Kings! Hallelu-YAH!

We are still searching for a building...many people have asked. It is YHWH's timing.
