By #faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
#hebrews 11:8 #lechlecha
Abram did not know where he was going when he left Haran. God didn't even tell him the name of the place. God said go, so Abram went.
Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Luke 21:32-33
This statement was not intended as another sign for determining the end of the age and the beginning of the Kingdom, but as a reassurance that God will preserve a remnant of Israel through all tribulations because he promised that he would. If Yeshua's word can pass away, so can the generation (the line of Jacob) of Israel.
"Whoever loves father or mother more than me..."
Abraham's first test of faith was the command to leave his home and people for the sake of God's Promise. At some point, we must all pass this test.
Matthew 10:34-38
13“If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,
14and My people upon whom My Name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their land.

Whatever comes, whatever disaster seems about to ruin everything, God's perspective is greater. He is in control. Believe that He will move events in your favor.
The first evidence of faith is public acknowledgment. Declare your allegiance by acknowledging your sovereign before mankind, and then prove it by your faithfulness.
Matthew 10:31-33
Instead of arguing that life begins at conception, maybe we should argue that life begins when our Creator speaks our name. Jeremiah 1:5, " Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
This is what I picture when I think of how the Father looks at us when we refuse to obey His Commands. How childish do we look to Him, to think we have everything figured out and that we don't need to do what He tells us to do.
In this new series, I want to take a look at different things I went through and common questions I had or others had when we started following Torah as part of our walk with Jesus. The Sabbath is what started it all for me and several other people I know. For me, I had grown up with the thought that Sunday was the Sabbath. Everything closed down in small towns when it was Sunday. We went to church on Sunday. There were laws in place to not let people buy alcohol on Sundays. There was a lot around that day.
We later ran into a teaching, when looking into another Biblical question, that gave a challenge. The person said that the Sabbath never changed. It was still Friday night to Saturday night, as it was in Biblical times. They said that the only thing the Bible says about the Sabbath is to rest. Nothing else about it. You don't have to go to church, you just have to rest.
At the time, we had young children and were going 24/7. We had a full schedule of appointments and places to be. This didn't change just because it was the weekend. When we heard that God commanded a rest day from Creation and read about it ourselves, we thought it was a great idea. We scheduled it out. We said in a month, we would be able to take this rest day. We were going to try and get everything we could done so that we could just take a day and rest. And we did. That day, we played games with the kids. Read our Bibles. Just laid around the house. IT...WAS...AWESOME! After it was over, we knew we had to do it again. It reenergized us so much. It gave us a hunger for more in Scripture. So, we did do it again, and again and again. We haven't stopped doing the Sabbath since that first time. It has blessed our family so much and we have grown closer together as a family because of it.
My question to you reading this: If you don't keep the Sabbath as a day of rest, why not? In the first part of this series, we are going to dive deeper into the Sabbath and look at some of the reasons I had or have been given to me by others. We will break each of them down with Scripture and see how they hold up. Until next time.

Psalm 37;27, “depart from evil and do good, so that you will dwell forever.” Sadly many forget about the depart from evil part…
