Just a thought.

When you are planning your 2024, new year's resolutions, bear in mind that happiness starts with you -- not with your relationships, not with your job, not with money, neighter your circumstances -- only with you!

When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, “Who are these?”
#genesis 48:8 #vayechi

Joseph's sons were born in exile and looked like Egyptians, but they were Israelites. They are a prophecy of two classes of Israelites whom God would draw out of the world thousands of years later: Natural Israelites lost by assimilation and children of the nations grafted into the nation by faith in Israel's King. "A people who were not a people."

We must be set apart for He is set apart.

1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

2“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Be set-apart, for I יהוה your Elohim am set-apart.
Lev 19

20Reprove those who are sinning, in the presence of all, so that the rest also might fear.
1 Tim 5
Numbers 16:1-40

Looking for folks in the tristate area of Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, especially in Indiana.

Shabbat shalom to the nation of Yashar'el and the nation of Yahudah His remnant under our priest Yahusha Messiah.
Messiah commanded us to go seek the lost sheep of the nation of Yashar'el.

4יהוה has sworn and does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order
of Malkitseḏeq.”
Psalm 110

5So also the Messiah did not extol Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him, “You are My Son, today I have brought You forth.”a

6As He also says in another place, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq,”a
Hebrews 5

17for He does witness, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.”
Hebrews 7

Shabbat shalom, mishpochah.

I want each and every one of you to know, or to be reminded in case you forgot, you are so so loved. Avinu Shebashemayim loves you beyond measure. Messiah Yeshua loves you beyond measure. YHWH loves you beyond measure. The Ruach, who is described as a comforter and a teacher and a guide, loves you beyond measure.

Now I recognize some of what I just wrote above will differ with some of your understandings of YHWH. And that's okay. None of us has a perfect understanding of Him. None of us, no matter how right we think we are.

But you know what's awesome? He's above all of it. I truly believe He looks down at our efforts to understand Him and smiles. I think He's saying, with parental pride, "there's my kids! Look at them persist in wanting to know Me better and understand Me better. I am so proud of them! I love them so much!"

Now, lest you think I'm a prophet, I make no such claim. There are some who have said I have a prophetic gift, but that's neither here nor there as far as I'm concerned. I'm just sharing what I imagine in my heart Avi/Avinu as "saying".

My goal is to know YHWH 's heart as best I can and to allow the love in His heart to flow through me to others. Will I do it perfectly? Do I do it perfectly? Absolutely not! But that's my goal and if I am focusing on that as my goal, I'm not focusing on things I shouldn't be.

We are each made In His image. That is such a wonderful amazing thing. I can't even begin to imagine what all that really entails. But I love the awesomeness of it and the awesomeness in every single one of you!

Shalom shalom

Watching football on what is supposed to be Christianity's most holy day sparked me to speak about true holiness, what it is, and its foundation. Please join us at 1pm central through the zoom link on our home page to learn what real holiness is.
