Hey brothers and sisters, the verse below just means the area you could see if you stood in a broad plain and turned around 360 degrees. It doesn't mean we live on Asgard. Circle of earth, circle of eretz. Think of earth as dirt or firm ground, not a planet.
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
(Isa 40:22 NAS95)
We read about a veil on the heart of Israel, but do we know what that means? Clint Lalum has thought about the veil for many years, and offers his understanding of it in this second part of our conversation. How does this biblical analogy of a veil on the heart shape his call to be part of Christian Friends of Israel? He explains that as well as he tells us of the miraculous series of events that brought him to Jerusalem.
Clint can tell you about God’s answers of “yes” and “no” to his prayers. Sometimes the “no” isn’t pleasant, but it is necessary. There’s even a kind of “Mercy in ‘NO’,” as Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in their midrash. Eved Adonai and Jimmie Black share aspects of that message in their music.

The desire of the righteous is only good, but the hope of the wicked only wrath.
#proverbs 11:23
The righteous desire the will of God, which is, by definition, good. Their desires in this context aren't necessarily directly related to their personal desires, but to the needs of the Kingdom. "All things work together for the good of those who trust God."
The wicked, on the other hand, follow their own evil inclinations and so come to ruin because their hopes are not aligned with God's ultimate will. There is no way they can win in the end.
The traditions of man have clouded YHWH's original instructions for us. In this chapter, Yeshua attempts to clarify some of this to unwilliing ears.

Pray then like this…
Prayer is simply an honest, ongoing conversation with God.
Yeshua tells us that God knows what we need (Matthew 6:8), but He still wants us to come and tell Him what’s on our minds. He is a good Father who cares for us (Matthew 7:11). He wants to speak into our circumstances, comfort our hearts, and shape our perspectives.
He loves giving good gifts to His children—gifts they want, long for, and ask for. But sometimes, what we want isn’t actually good for us.
When Yeshua says in Matthew 7:8, “ask, and it will be given to you,” He isn’t saying that we will get everything we ask for.
God cannot—and will not—give us anything that contradicts His character. God will only give us what is good, and sometimes a “no” from God is the response we actually need. But He sutil wants us to bring Him all our desires, and if we ask for anything that aligns with His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
So how do we discover God’s will?
We spend time with Him.
The more we get to know God, the more we will understand His character. And it’s only when we understand His character that we will ask for things that align with His will.
Yeshua’s words in Matthew 7 are a promise that when we ask for God, He gives us Himself. When we humbly seek God, He finds us. And when we come to Him as we are, He welcomes us with open arms.
When we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. And when He draws near, He transforms the way we think, renews our minds, restores our souls, and leads us down paths that are for our good and His glory.
