Let's look into the full armor of Yah!
For the rest, my brothers, be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. Put on the complete armour of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. Because of this, take up the complete armour of Elohim, so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all, to stand. Stand, then, having girded your waist with truth,Isaiah 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and trustworthiness the girdle of His waist.Yeshayah (Isaiah) 11:5 TS2009 (Messiah) Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.Tehillim (Psalms) 119:142 TS2009 (Torah) and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, Isaiah 59:17 And He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance on His head. And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself with ardour as a mantle.Yeshayah (Isaiah) 59:17 TS2009 (Messiah) and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace;Isaiah 52:7 How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims deliverance, who says to Tsiyon, “Your Elohim reigns!”Yeshayah (Isaiah) 52:7 TS2009 (Messiah) above all, having taken up the shield of belief with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. Take also the helmet of deliverance, Isaiah 59:17 And He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance on His head. And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped Himself with ardour as a mantle.Yeshayah (Isaiah) 59:17 TS2009and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim, praying at all times, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart ones;Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:10-18 TS2009Paul also talks about putting on Messiah Rom 13:14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.Then I noticed a lot of cross references for the schemes of the evil one, talk about deception. I let you go down that trail ?. I believe Paul had Messiah in mind while writing on the armour of Elohim. We are to be like minded by taking on the mind of Messiah, we are put on Messiah, we are to walk even as He walked. Our obedience is our protection! It guards us from the evil one, and our knowledge of His Word is our only weapon against his deception! I pray this little study has been a blessing! Shalom, David.
Why the world hates us.
“In this My Father is esteemed, that you bear much fruit, and you shall be My taught ones. “As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Stay in My love. “If you guard My commands, you shall stay in My love even as I have guarded My Father’s commands and stay in His love.
Yoḥanan (John) 15:8-10 TS2009
If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you.
Yoḥanan (John) 15:18-19 TS2009
Through our love for Messiah Yeshua, our obedience to the instructions of the Father should be unwavering. I believe that is way He is telling us the world will hate us, our allegiance is to the Most High, and not the rulers of this world. The world can't stand not having authority over us. Also most people will not like the fact that we do not submit ourselves to the same authority as they do.
So who's authority are you submitting to? Does the world hate you, or does it not worry about you?
As for me and my house we shall serve Jehovah!
Shalom and blessings ??
Psalm 50; 1, “The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.” This opening is difficult to understand in the KJV, perhaps this translation may help. “ GOD! יהוה (the LORD) has spoken and proclaimed the earth from the rising of the sun to it’s going down.” Many have been confused by the KJV and blame it in the changes to the English language but this example is more about poor translation. The Creator didn’t call to the earth, he made a proclamation. Our Creator proclaims that everyone will be judged according to His commands and His statutes. Our thoughts and notions will not matter when He judges us, all that will matter is did we hear His voice and obey His commands or did we reject Him. The choice is yours, choose life.
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.

Something I wrote last year:
The hard, heavy metal chafed my wrists, digging into my skin as if into the flesh of my soul. It hung on my neck so that my head hung with it, and the blazing sun glinted cruelly from it, flashing and glittering in mockery. Why could I not be free? It was market day today, and my soul was on the line.
The sweat ran down my face as I dragged my feet through the dust, the dust I had always hated to touch. Poor men, even beggars, I saw here and there as I passed; they were free and I was not.
I could end this, market day called out to me; I could lay down the heavy, golden bracelets of my wrists, sparkling with jewels, I could take off the necklaces of golden chain from my neck. I could lay them down and receive my soul, and in exchange I could walk in freedom with the Son of God; or I could hold my chains close. The sweat of hesitation and doubt slid down my body like serpents and blinded my eyes. Why could I not be free?
I left that day; the hot flashes of sun glared from the riches that clothed me, presaging a hotter doom. I clung stubbornly to the hand of my glittering demon, never minding where it led me. On market day I left my soul behind in exchange for gold, and damnation.

Thought for Today: Sunday January 06:
Let YHVH’s Love enfold you in the radiance of His Glory today. Be still in the Light of His Presence and receive His Peace. These quiet moments with Him transcend time, accomplishing far more than you can imagine. Bring YHVH the sacrifice of your time and watch to see how abundantly He bless you and your loved ones. Through the intimacy of your relationship with YHVH, you are being transformed from the inside out. As you keep your focus on YHVH, He form you into the one He desire you to be. Your part is to yield to His Creative work in you, neither resisting it nor trying to speed it up. Enjoy the tempo of a Holy Spirit-Breathed life by letting YHVH set the pace. Hold His hand today in a childlike trust and the way before you will open up step by step.
Shalom Shalom family ?
Proverbs 2:6-8
For YHVH gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. YHVH is a shield to those who walk uprightly. He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His righteous.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Our Heavenly Father and Creator of all, thank You for shielding and protecting us throughout the night. Thank for preserving us, giving us Your Amazing Grace and love. Thank You for our daily bread and forgiveness of sins. Please bless our family members and friends. Please fill us with a smile, gratitude and joy. Refresh us and give us renewed strength to walk in faith. Let Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as in heaven. Amein
Be blessed and stay blessed ?
