Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.

The same could be true as you build up your spiritual self. After an intense teaching session, you need answers as more thoughts and questions consume you in your spiritual growth.

Rabbi Steve Berkson, director of MTOI, provides an opportunity for the Afterburn to take place by additional thoughts and insight about what he just taught as well as answering questions from the local congregation and those watching the live stream.

Lisle Swift
I am inviting you to join me for a short prayer in the name of HaAbba, HaBen and Ruach HaQodesh. Let us pray together.
Abba יהוה, thank you very much for all the blessings that you never get tired of giving us. Even if we are not worthy of your love, you are still there to love us. Abba, we are humbly asking for forgiveness from You for all our sins, whether they are intentional or not - please forgive us. Cleanse our hearts and remove all the negative emotions that we hold. Abba, I lift my future to you. May you straighten the path that I am walking. Cause me to make wise, Qodesh, set apart, choices for my life- choices that will honor You. Please be with me on my journey, Adonai. You will serve as my guide and refuge. Lord, though I am a sinner, fragile in temptation and often my faith is weak, I pray that you will not let go of me, but hold me in your loving arms. Abba, we need you. Pour your love and forgiveness out to the world. Touch each one of us. Make each of us your instrument of love so that other people can know you. Give each of us enough wisdom to reveal your greatness to others. Dear Abba, we will not get tired of worshiping You. From the smallest to the greatest of your blessings, I will be in debt until my death. May the love that first came from you reign in the life of every child reading this prayer. Use us for your plans. El Shaddai, I pray that You will stop this spreading disease - heal our land. This is causing huge damage to our families and communities. Please take care of us, Abba. You are our only hope and strength. יהוה, all the praise and thanksgiving are yours, in the name of Your Loving Son, our Messiah, Amen. I love you Dear Abba!!
