*The G-d of Yisra’ĕl is YeHoVaH, He is the Father.
Who is the son?
Deuteronomy 14 You are the Sons of YeHoVaH your G-d; you shall not cut yourselves nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. v2 For you are a Holy [Set-Apart] People [Treasured Nation] to YeHoVaH your G-d, and YeHoVaH has CHOSEN you TO BE a people for His OWN POSSESSION [Am Segulah], above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. [Reminds you of Gen 1v2,3.]

What does it mean to be Sons of YeHoVaH your G-d? To be a Son means to be Chosen.
Deuteronomy 14:1-2 Sons of G-d.
1 Chronicles 28:6 Son of G-d.
v5 "And of all my sons -- for YHVH has given me many sons -- He has chosen my son Shelomoh to sit on the throne of the reign of YHVH over Yisrael, v6 and said to me, 'Shelomoh your son is the one to build My house and My courtyards, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I myself am a Father to him.
The future Mashiach is the Chosen Son [Yeshua].
Being Chosen and being the [begotten] Son of G-d, the two are essentially the same concept.
To Be Holy is To Be Chosen. Holy means To Be Set-apart and above. In that sense it’s connected To Be Chosen.
Yisrael as a Nation is the Son of G-d [the Father is YeHoVaH].
And you have an individual within Yisrael who is the Son of G-d. It means he’s the King and the Mashiach who will be the King of Yisrael and the Son of G-d.
Psalms 105:15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My Prophets no evil.”
Hoshea 11:1 “When Yisrael was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.

Thought for Today: Tuesday September 16

One day a great man, lying on his death bed, summoned his grandson to come stand next to him. Calling the boy’s name, he said: “I don’t know what type of work I will be doing in heaven, but if it is allowed, I am going to ask Yeshua to let me help build your mansion. You be sure you send up plenty of the right materials.” Living a life of purity and love, studying YHVH’s Word, praying without cease, leading others to the Moshiach as we share our faith, kindness in the Moshiach’s Name – all of these things are materials that may be sent on ahead… What kind of materials are you sending up to heaven today?

The term senior pastor is not scriptural.

1 Peter 5:3 TLV
[3] Don’t lord it over those apportioned to you, but become examples to the flock.

Matthew 20:25-28 TLV
[25] But Yeshua called them over and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones play the tyrant over them. [26] It shall not be this way among you. But whoever wants to be great among you shall be your servant, [27] and whoever wants to be first among you shall be your slave— [28] just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

Our elders/pastors should be the best among us, not necessarily those who want the position nor those with the most charisma or grandest vision. Faithfulness and good order are far more important in God's house than church growth.
1 Timothy 3:1-7

YOM SHENY – SECOND DAY OF THE WEEK

“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Blessed be He who spoke and the world was; Blessed be He – and blessed be His Name.

TEHILLAH 32

How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit! When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to YHWH”; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. Therefore, let everyone who is righteous pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, otherwise they will not come near to you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in YHWH, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in YHWH and rejoice, you righteous ones; and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

TEHILLAH 27

YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YHWH is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident. One thing I have asked from YHWH, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of YHWH all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of YHWH, and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to YHWH. Hear, YHWH, when I cry with my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, YHWH, I shall seek.” Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, O Elohym of my salvation! For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but YHWH will take me up. Teach me Your way, YHWH, and lead me in a level path because of my foes. Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the excellence of YHWH in the land of the living. Wait for YHWH; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for YHWH.

BEN ADAM

Son of man! Why do you slumber? Arise and call out in supplication; pour out words of prayer; seek forgiveness from the Master of masters. Wash and purify yourself; do not delay before the days depart, and hurriedly run for help before He who dwells on high. From transgression and also evil flee, and be dreadful of tragedy. O, please pay heed to those who know Your name – the loyal ones of Yisrael. For Yours, Adonay, is righteousness, and ours is nothing but shame.

Stand up like a man and be courageous, to confess your sins. Seek El Almighty in earnest to atone for your sins, for never are hidden secrets from Him. And every utterance that is spoken is read before Him. May He who is merciful have mercy upon us, as a father has mercy for his children. For Yours Adonay is righteousness and ours is nothing but shame.

VIDDUY

I make my sin known to You and do not conceal my iniquity; for I said that it is proper that I confess my transgressions to YHWH, and as a result, You have forgiven the iniquity of my sins. And it is stated: He who conceals his transgressions will not succeed, but he, who admits and forsakes them, shall be dealt with mercifully.

Please, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, let our prayer come before You, and do not hide Yourself from our supplication – for we are not so insolent nor so obstinate to say before You, YHWH, our Elohym, Elohym of our forefathers, “we are righteous and have not sinned,” rather, truly we have sinned – we as well as our forefathers and our household members:

(With each of the following statements, bring your right fist to your chest, over your heart.)

We have been guilty. We have betrayed. We have robbed. We have spoken gossip and slander. We have caused iniquity. We have caused wickedness. We have acted wantonly. We have extorted. We have accused falsely. We have given bad advice. We have lied. We have acted frivolously. We have rebelled. We have infuriated. We have committed adultery. We have been deviant. We have committed iniquity. We have transgressed willfully. We have oppressed. We have been obstinate. We have been wicked. We have corrupted ourselves and others. We have committed abominations. We have strayed and caused others to stray, and we have veered from Your excellent commandments and laws, but it has not benefited us. But You are righteous regarding all that has befallen us, for You have acted with truth, and it is we who have caused wickedness.

YHWH YACHYD

YHWH, Who is unique, the hearts of all people does He scrutinize. He performs great acts that are unfathomable. And it became evening and it became morning – a second day. Hear the supplication of Your servant and his statement, who shoulders the burden of exile. On the day of his falling, to raise him there is only One, and not another. Recall the covenant with Your beloved ones for a people crying out before You – the children of Ya’akob, Your servants, and He commanded also the second one. My Beloved, hear the supplications and consider their prayers as offerings in the merit of those who offered sacrifices – N’thanel, son of Tzuar, on the second day. Turn Your ear to the prayer of Your people and send us Your righteous Mashiach, and we will offer sacrifices before You – one sheep in the morning and the second sheep. Strengthen my heart, my King, and hasten to illuminate my darkness if my way is hidden. Bring success, please, to Your servant on the second day.

EILEYKA YHWH

Toward You, YHWH, I have raised up my eyes; hear the sound of my pleas as befits Your great kindness. I have trusted in Your Name and have spread out my palms; I have taken words and have come unto You. My sorrows have been overpowering and my groans have increased, for all of my sins have You set before You. My delicate soul dissipates from grief; release from anxiety the soul of Your servant. Remove my sin, O Elohym of my salvation; also my tears may You place in Your flask. In times of anger, Your mercy may You recall and reconsider, and gladden and console the soul of Your servant.

Our Father, our King, You are our Father! Our Father, our King, we have no King but You! Our Father, our King, have mercy on us! Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, although we do not possess excellent deeds.

Deal with us with righteousness and kindness for the sake of Your great Name, and save us. And we know not what more to do, but our eyes look to You. Recall Your mercies and kindnesses, YHWH, for they have existed from ever. May Your kindness be upon us, YHWH, as we have hoped in You.

QADDISH

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world that He created according to His will. May His kingdom reign, and may He cause His redemption to sprout, and may He hasten the coming of His Mashiach in your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire house of Yisrael, speedily and very soon; and let us say: Amein!

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed, lauded, esteemed, exalted, extolled, honored, upraised, and praised be the Name of the set-apart One; Blessed be He; above all the blessings, songs, praises and words of consolation that may be uttered in the world; and let us say: Amein!

May your prayers and pleas be accepted together with the prayers and pleas of the entire house of Yisrael before our Father in heaven and earth, in the name of Yehoshua HaMashiach; and let us say: Amein!

May there be abundant shalom from heaven, life, contentment, salvation, consolation, deliverance, healing, redemption, pardon, atonement, comfort and relief for us and for His entire nation Yisrael; and let us say: Amein!

HON TAHON

Be merciful to Your children who are returning to You, and who stand before You with trepidation, fearful of the time they will be called to judgment; it is for that reason that they come in distress. Recall compassion on the Day of Judgment; do away with anger and wrath at the time You will judge those who fear You and those who dwell on Your Name – they who are sitting in judgment. Bring near to me the year of the Redeemer, and redeem me; upon restful waters, O Elohym, lead me, and recall for me the merit of the perfect man, Yehoshua HaMashiach, and place me like a seal upon Your heart. Amein!

FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – NITZAVYM:

“See, I have set before you today life and excellent, and death and evil, in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to guard His commands, and His laws, and His judgments. And you shall live and increase, and YHWH your Elohim shall bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away, and you do not obey, and shall be drawn away, and shall bow down to other mighty ones and serve them, I have declared to you today that you shall certainly perish, you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are passing over the Yarden to enter and possess.”

FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – NITZAVYM:

“And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, but with him who stands here with us today before YHWH our Elohim, as well as with him who is not here with us today. For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and how we passed through the nations which you passed through, and you saw their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them, lest there should be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe, whose heart turns away today from YHWH our Elohim, to go and serve the mighty ones of these nations, lest there should be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood. And it shall be, when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ in order to add drunkenness to thirst. YHWH would not forgive him, but rather, the displeasure of YHWH and His jealousy shall burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall settle on him, and YHWH shall blot out his name from under the heavens. And YHWH shall separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Yisra’el, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Torah. And the generation to come of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, shall say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which YHWH has sent into it: ‘All its land is sulphur, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Tsevoyim, which YHWH overthrew in His displeasure and His wrath.’ And all nations shall say, ‘Why has YHWH done so to this land? What does the heat of this great displeasure mean?’ And it shall be said, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. And they went and served other mighty ones and bowed themselves to them, mighty ones that they did not know and that He had not given to them, therefore the displeasure of YHWH burned against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. And YHWH uprooted them from their land in displeasure, and in wrath, and in great rage, and cast them into another land, as it is today.’”

I didn’t verify this, it applies to everyone not just our young people. I really like the phrase in it that tell us we are important.

You will fail, but it will be OK in the end if you trust in God.

Studying and living Torah helps a person to develop a better understanding of God's character.
