Thought for Today: Monday February 14:
Seek YHVH’s Face more and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with Him. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privilege way: a treasure hunt. He is the Treasure, and the Glory of His Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. He measures them out so carefully, in just a right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among His most favourite Gifts. Trust Him and do not be afraid, for He is your Strength and Song.
Increasingly, I am utterly convinced that the Restoration of kol Israel cannot happen without a proper restoration of proper family structure (aka, headship/patriarchy) and will demand at least acceptance of marriage, as defined by Scripture, f not the outright walking it out of those who pass under the rod in the wilderness. But, I'm curious where others stand. So, here's a poll:
Life is BUSY!! Like most of you, I see time flying past so very fast right now, but we each need to be very intentional to share the journey, lessons, etc with the groups on TTN so we can all benefit by what Yah is doing in each of our clans.
Our clan (we are trying to avoid 'community' as that does not convey the connectivity we have as 'mishpocha') has been growing. Yah has increased our clan and is bringing more even now. Very exciting. What has been interesting is that He has not provided us with a singular large piece of property as we once anticipated. Instead, He seems to be placing us in this network of homesteads/farmsteads that are all about 15-20 minutes apart... Not quite what I anticipated as this leg of the journey began to unfold, but interesting none the less. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm curious.
I have been FEASTING on James Block today while working on several projects. If you are not familiar with this incredibly anointed and gifted artist that lives in Jerusalem, take a deep drink here... Scripture, scripture, and more scripture by a dear brother who understands and longs for the restoration of kol Israel!!

HOW TO GET THE LEAST OUT OF YOUR BIBLE
Warning! Warning...
Don't do these if you what a STRONG walk with the LORD!
1. Put the Bible into an "Academia sterile environment".
a. Never allow the supernatural in the form of the Holy Spirit to work.
b. Having an Academia BOX ONLY approach without wanting or having the power of the WORD of GOD, will protect the person from the deeper mysteries. Knowledge of the WORD is not the same as memorizing it. Most courses do their best for YOU NOT to go deeper than the last book they sold.
The upside is that works never enough. The very least you can do and I do mean the VERY LEAST.
2. Keep your knowledge of the WORD of God in a Gameshow mode.
a. make what you know like playing Jeopardy. example: who was the wife of Jeroboam? Can't be answered. These types of games are enjoyable the person gets points but while doing so misses the point. if you are good at Bible Jeopardy you might be in jeopardy if your relationship with God is all in a game mode. . .
3. Keep your EGO UPFRONT. Make sure everyone knows how important YOU ARE rather than bringing them to Christ, Jesus.
a. This will trump the first two and your Bible will be sure to become just another book to use to show yourself off to others. You never know who you are talking to in the spiritual world. The one that counts is The Father, HIS Son, and The Holy Spirit.
