Lily Portion for Today: Shabbat January 20

Faith mounts the steep stairs which Love has built and views life through the window which Hope has opened. (Prayer: Father, keep my children from trying to bend Your will according to their needs. Help them to submit to Your ways and thoughts. You know all their needs and will provide them as promised, amein.)

Leviticus 23:14, “You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.” This is an obvious reminder that our Creator demands and deserves the first and finest of our labors.

Thought for Today: Shabbat January 20

Elohiym's love is the Light that shines from a servant's heart. YHVH's love is shown in the way we live... in the acts of kindness we willingly do for others.

THE MIND OF MOSHIACH

A healing prayer to let the mind of Moshiach be in you

References:
Philippians 2:5-6, 8 --- 1 Peter 2:21 --- Ephesians 5:18 --- Galatians 5:22-23 --- John 14:26 --- 1 Corinthians 2:12, 16 --- Colossians 3:2 --- Philippians 4:8 --- John 15:4, 15-16 --- Hebrews 12:2

Healing Promise:
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Moshiach Yeshua Who, being in the form of YHVH, did not consider it robbery to be equal with YHVH, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant and coming in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:5-6 NKJV)

Healing Prayer:
Dear YHVH, help me to have the mind of Moshiach. He came to this earth as a servant and I want to serve You and others in the humility of Yeshua. I want to follow His example at all times Father. Therefore, I ask You to fill me afresh daily with the Holy Spirit, so I will be able to produce His fruit in all the relationships and responsibilities of my life. As the Holy Spirit teaches me, I will learn more fully what it means to have the mind of Moshiach. Thank You for His faithfulness in my life dear Father. How I praise You for the Holy Spirit, Who reveals to me all the wonderful things You have freely given to me, including the mind of Moshiach. As Moshiach Yeshua did, I want to set all my affections on things above, not on things of this earth. Help me Father, to think on things that are true, honest, pure, just, lovely and of good report, because I know from Your Word that these are the kinds of thoughts Yeshua thinks. Father, I purpose in my heart to abide in Moshiach at all times, because I know this will enable me to be fruitful and to walk as He walked. I will do these things my Adonai and my YHVH, looking unto Yeshua, Who is the Author and Finisher of my faith, Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is now sitting with You in the Kingdom of heaven. Thank You for allowing me to be a friend of Yeshua and, as His friend, I am learning more and more about You and Your ways Father. In fact, Yeshua is revealing things to me that You have revealed to Him. I treasure this knowledge He is imparting to me dear Father YHVH and I thank You for allowing the mind of Moshiach to be in me. Because of these truths, which I do believe Father and Your wonderful grace, which I have received, I now proclaim that I have the mind of Moshiach. In the mighty Name of Yeshua I pray, amein.

15 Bo – Haftarah
Yermeyahu 46:13-28
The word which YHWH spoke to Yirmeyahu the prophet, about the coming of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar king of Baḇel, to strike the land of Mitsrayim: “Declare in Mitsrayim, and let it be heard in Miḡdol. And let it be heard in Noph and in Taḥpanḥes. Say, ‘Stand fast and be prepared, for a sword shall devour all around you.’
“Why were your strong ones swept away? They did not stand because YHWH drove them away.
“He made many stumble; indeed, they fell over each other, and said, ‘Arise! Let us go back to our own people, and to the land of our birth, away from the oppressing sword.’
“There they cried, ‘Pharaoh, king of Mitsrayim, is but a noise. He has let the appointed time pass by!’
“As I live,” declares the King, whose Name is YHWH of hosts, “For as Taḇor is among the mountains, and as Karmel by the sea, he shall come.
“O you daughter dwelling in Mitsrayim, prepare yourself to go into exile! For Noph shall become a waste and a ruin, and be burned, without inhabitant.
“Mitsrayim is like a very pretty heifer, but destruction comes, it comes from the north.
“Her hired ones too, in her midst, are like fattened calves, for they too shall turn, they shall flee away together. They shall not stand, for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment.
“Its sound moves along like a serpent, for they move on like an army and come against her with axes, like woodcutters.
“They shall cut down her forest,” declares YHWH, “for it is not searched, because they are more numerous than locusts, and without number.
“The daughter of Mitsrayim shall be put to shame. She shall be given into the hand of the people of the north.”
YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ěl, has said, “See, I am bringing punishment on Amon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Mitsrayim, and on their mighty ones, and on their kings, and on Pharaoh and on those trusting in him.
“And I shall give them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar king of Baḇel and into the hand of his servants. And afterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares YHWH.
“But as for you, do not fear, O My servant Ya‛aqoḇ, and do not be discouraged, O Yisra’ěl! For look, I am saving you from afar, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. And Ya‛aqoḇ shall return, and shall have rest and be at ease, with no one disturbing.
“Do not fear, O Ya‛aqoḇ My servant,” declares YHWH, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the nations to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you. But I shall reprove you in judgment, and by no means leave you unpunished.”

15 Bo – Day 7
Sh’moth 13:1-16
And YHWH spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Set apart to Me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ěl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.”
And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand YHWH brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten.
“Today you are going out, in the new moon Aḇiḇ.
“And it shall be, when YHWH brings you into the land of the Kena‛anites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this new moon.
“Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to YHWH.
“Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within all your border.
“And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what YHWH did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’
“And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of YHWH is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand YHWH has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
“And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year.
“And it shall be, when YHWH brings you into the land of the Kena‛anites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, that you shall give over to YHWH every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to YHWH.
“But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom.
“And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that YHWH killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am sacrifice to YHWH every male that opens the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’
“And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim.”

Tehillah 92 – Day 7 (ShabbatH)
It is excellent to give thanks to YHWH, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High; To declare Your mercy in the morning, And Your trustworthiness each night, On ten strings, and on the harp, To the sounding chords of the lyre.
For You have made me rejoice with Your work, O YHWH, I shout for joy at the works of Your hands.
O YHWH, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep!
A senseless man does not know, And a fool does not understand this.
When the wrong spring up like grass, And all the workers of wickedness blossom, It is for them to be destroyed forever.
But You, YHWH, are on high forever.
For look, Your enemies, O YHWH, For look, Your enemies do perish; All the workers of wickedness are scattered.
But You lift up my horn like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
And my eye looks upon my enemies; My ears hear the evil-doers Who rise up against me.
The righteous one flourishes like a palm tree, He grows like a cedar in Leḇanon.
Those who are planted in the House of YHWH Flourish in the courts of our Elohim.
They still bear fruit in old age; They are fresh and green, To declare that YHWH is straight, My rock, and in Him is no unrighteousness.
