PEACE WITHOUT FEAR IN 2023!

When we ask YHVH Elohiym for peace in our lives, I think we want Him to help us, to just sit back and relax while He take away all our burdens. In actual fact, peace is found in motion, peace is found in an active state.

When we look at king David, as he is walking towards Goliath, I think the Israelite army was just hiding away in FEAR and trying to run away from Goliath, -- they were seeking after peace by hiding due to fear. They were seeking peace by staying stagnant. Where David was really the one moving in peace. YHVH has given all of us Fruit of the Spirit --- Love, Joy, PEACE…, Peace is a fruit but it has to be watered and peace grows when we are moving, when we are trusting YHVH Elohiym, when we are obedient and David is seen moving in the most radical peace ever when he is walking towards Goliath. Elohiym did not give us a spirit of fear. When David understood who he truly is, that YHVH has sent him on a mission, that Elohiym is with him and the Israelites -- that is why he is able to face his enemy.

YOU also have enemies out there. Your enemies could just be a diagnosis, could be a marriage problem, financial problem, it could be a trial, there could be something in front of you. Remember, fear is from hasatan. I promise you, you are actually going to receive the peace that is beyond understanding by facing that something head-on without doubts and without fear, because you are going to see the Peace of Elohiym in your life in the face of your Goliath. Start 2023 with faith in Elohiym and face your enemies, knowing that YHVH has your back and that everything you do with Him besides, in, behind and around you, will always work out in your best interest.

May 2023 the best year ever for all of you and your families, may you grow strong in Him and may He bless every move you make beyond expectations. Keep on forgiving, keep on praying for each other, encourage each other and make TTN the best place ever. Love you all in Yeshua Moshiach!

In Acts 3:17 Peter agreed with the words Yeshua spoke on the cross: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Even after killing the Son of God, forgiveness was freely available to all who would repent. If God doesn't hold a grudge against those who killed his Son (including you!), you have no business holding a grudge against anyone either.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

TEN WAYS TO PLEASE YHVH

From Exodus 20

While the people of Israel camped at Mount Sinai, Adonai gave them some special rules. This is what He said:

[I am Adonai your YHVH Who brought you out of bondage in the land of Egypt. You shall not put any YHVH ahead of Me. You shall not make idols for yourselves, images of the birds of the air, the animals upon the earth or the fish and creatures of the water. You must never bow to idols or serve them, for I am a jealous YHVH Who wants your undivided love. I am a YHVH Who punishes men for their sins. Sometimes the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren continue to suffer for the sins of those who hate Me. But I share My love with thousands of those who love Me and obey Me. Never speak My Name in a way that will dishonour it. Keep the Shabbat day as a holy day. Six days of the week are for work, but the seventh is for rest, a Shabbat dedicated to Adonai your YHVH. You, your children, your servants, your guests and even your cattle shall do no work on that day. In six days, I Adonai made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day I rested. I blessed the Shabbat day and consecrated it, setting it apart as a day of rest. Honour your father and mother so that you will have a long life in the land I give you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not witness falsely against your neighbour. You shall not desire your neighbour’s belongings for your own, neither his house, nor his wife, his servants, his cattle, his donkeys, nor anything else that he has.]

When the people heard the thunder and the great trumpet blast and saw the lightning and the smoke from the mountain, they stood at a distance and trembled with fear. [Let YHVH speak through you and we shall listen,] they said to Moses. [But do not let YHVH speak to us or we shall die.] [You must not be afraid,] Moses told the people. [YHVH has come this way so that you will realize His great power and will be afraid to sin against Him.] While the people stood far away, Moses walked up into the thick darkness where YHVH was. There Adonai told Moses what he should say to the people. [You have seen for yourselves how I spoke from heaven,] Adonai said. [Do not make or worship any gods of gold or silver. But make an altar of earth for Me and sacrifice your burnt offerings and peace offerings of sheep and oxen upon it. I will come to bless you in every place where I will have My Name remembered. [If you make an altar of stone for Me, build it of natural stones which have not been cut or fashioned with tools; for this will please Me. Do not build steps up to the altar, for people below might look under your garments and see your nakedness as you climb the steps.]

COMMENTARY

LAW CODES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD

In ten brief Commandments given on Mount Sinai, Adonai began to teach the people of Israel how to love Him and love each other. These Laws stress respect for YHVH and respect for the rights of other people. They reveal the moral character of YHVH. And they show the moral character that Adonai expects people who know Him to develop. The Law of Moses was not the only Law code in the ancient world. There were others, some even earlier than this. The earliest Laws were written before paper was invented, so they were inscribed on clay tablets. They came into existence in Sumeria when the king decided that there must be a way to correct certain wrongs. Public officials and powerful people were abusing the poor, widows and orphans. But these people had no right or way to complain. So, the king created laws which prohibited such behaviour and set up fines for those who disobeyed. The Laws also established rules for marriage and inheritance. The tablet ended with a list of blessings for the Law-abiding, and a barrage of curses for the offenders. In earliest times there were no judges or lawyers as we know them today. In Egypt, the only law was the word of the pharaoh. There were no written laws for centuries. The ruler of Egypt and other countries often was the supreme judge, with local leaders judging smaller cases. The Laws of the Israelites differed from those of their neighbours. On the one hand, they were harsher, with punishment by mutilation or death instead of a fine. They believed in [an eye for an eye.] On the other hand, they were more just, with the powerful and lowly receiving the same punishment. The Laws of Israel did not separate religious and social Law. All Law rested on the authority of YHVH, not man.

Thought for Today: Shabbat December 31:

In this current world-torn times, many intellectuals are asking where history is going. Will societies get better and better – or will we end up destroying ourselves? But! The last chapter of history will not be written by any human leader, however good or bad. Only YHVH will write it and it will be soon. The day is coming when the human race will stand at the edge of the abyss of world destruction. YHVH will intervene. It may be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or in ten years from now but the outcome is certain – the future and eternity belong to the Kingdom of YHVH. Never forget; If you belong to the King of kings, you are on the winning side.
