15 Bo – Day 1
Sh’moth 10:1-11
And YHWH said to Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that I show these signs of Mine before him, and that you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in Mitsrayim, and My signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I am YHWH.”
And Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said YHWH Elohim of the Hebrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they serve Me.
‘Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders.
‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.
‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve YHWH their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?”
And Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve YHWH your Elohim. Who are the ones that are going?”
And Mosheh said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival to YHWH.”
And he said to them, “Let YHWH be with you as I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face!
“Not so! You men go now, and serve YHWH, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.

Is the 7th day sabbath just for israel or all men? Mark 2:27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was created for the sake of man and not man for the sake of the Sabbath."

Thought for Today: Sunday January 14

Where seeds of love are planted, Adonai Elohiym sends a bountiful harvest of joy.

The only swamp that Trump emptied was the tax dollar.

Abba, You are the Most High Supreme Authority – a YHVH of order. You have instituted other authority structures that will support healthy relationships and maintain harmony. I surrender my all, and my free will to You that I may find protection and dwell in Your secret places, my Most High YHVH. Abba thank You for pastors, ministers, leaders and every one of Your believers, who are submitted to You and who are examples to others who is in need of Your Comfort and Love. Adonai, You know how sinful and rebellious we all are, me included, and I ask Your forgiveness for manipulating circumstances and people – trying to do my own will and to get things my own way. I give You my will and ask that Your Will be done in my life as it is done in heaven. Abba, when I feel that my life is spiralling out of control, help me to bind my mind to the Mind of Moshiach and my control to the control of Ruach HaKodesh. I loose my mind from obsessive thought patterns that try to confuse me. I know that obedience is far better than sacrifice. I know that You are more interested in me listening to You, than offering of material things. I believe that rebellion is just as bad as witchcraft and stubbornness as bad as worshipping idols, and I believe when I am rebellious and stubborn, I commit adultery against You and Your Word. Please forgive me for those things. Abba, You deserve honesty from the heart and utter sincerity and truthfulness. O Abba, fill me with Your Wisdom! Sprinkle me with the Blood of the Lamb and cleanse me and wash me so I can be whiter than snow! You have rescued me from the dominion of darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of Your beloved Son Yeshua Moshiach, in Whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sin. Adonai, I will follow You with every breath, with every step and with every moment, for I Love You and need You. I yield all my desires that are not in Your plans for me. Even in the midst of fearful moments, I submit and trust everything, including my future to you. Teach me to be Your disciple and to take up my cross and follow You. Abba, You gave Yeshua to be my Example, and after He was taken up to be at Your Right Hand, You gave me Your Ruach Kodesh to be my Helper and my Guide. There are uncountable temptation, trials and tribulations in this world today, but with Yeshua that overcame the world and Your \Ruach Kodesh in me, I am of good cheer that I have the armour to withstand all of that. Yeshua is the Way, the Truth and the Life and I will be His servant. What I do ask is that You guide me and help me through the process of surrendering my all to You, my life, my household, my will, my finances, my thoughts and all my decisions. I ask in exchange of this surrender a renewed spirit and a willing obedient heart. I ask that You heal my deafness that I can hear You and my blindness that I can see Your Greatness. I belong to Moshiach, the Anointed One, Who breaks down and destroys every yoke of bondage. In His Name and in obedience to Your Will Abba, I submit to the control and direction of Ruach HaKodesh Whom You sent into my life. As I surrender all to You, I believe that I am Your child. I am a successful winner through the Blood of the Lamb. Thank You my Most High King. Amein.

Tehillah 24 – Day 1 (Yom Rishon)
The earth belongs to YHWH, And all that fills it – The world and those who dwell in it.
For He has founded it upon the seas, And upon the waters He does establish it.
Who does go up into the mountain of YHWH? And who does stand in His set-apart place?
He who has innocent hands and a clean heart, Who did not bring his life to naught, And did not swear deceivingly.
He receives a blessing from YHWH, And righteousness from the Elohim of his deliverance.
This is the generation of those who seek Him; Ya‛aqoḇ, who seek Your face. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH strong and mighty, YHWH mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Even lift up, you everlasting doors! And let Melek Hakavod come in.
Who is this Melek Hakavod? YHWH of hosts, He is Melek Hakavod! Selah.

The New Covenant Standard Of Repentance Luke 16:30-31 “But he said to him, 'No, my father Abraham, but if a man will go to them from the dead, they will be converted.' “ 31“Abraham said to him, 'If they will not hear Moses and The Prophets, they will not believe him, even though a man would rise from the dead.' “ PHBT. The prophets and the law of mosheh משֶׁה are the new covenant standard of repentance.
19“There was a certain rich man, and he wore fine white linen and purple and everyday he celebrated luxuriously.” 20“And there was a certain poor man whose name was Lazar and he lay at the gate of that rich man, being stricken with abscesses.” 21“And he longed to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table, but also the dogs would come licking his abscesses.” 22“But that poor man died and Angels brought him to The Bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and he was buried.” 23“And suffering in Sheol, he lifted up his eyes from afar off and he saw Abraham, and Lazar in his bosom.” 24“And he called in a loud voice and he said, 'My father, Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazar to dip the tip of his finger in water and moisten my tongue for me; behold, I am suffering in this flame.' “ 25“Abraham said to him, 'My son, remember that you have received your good things in your life and Lazar, his evil things, and now, behold, he is comforted here and you are suffering.' “ 26'And along with all these things, there stands a great abyss between us and you, so that those who would pass from here to you are not able, neither is whoever is there able to pass over to us.'
The rich man went to hell because he did not treat others how the law and the prophets say to treat others. If you want to know how to love others the way you should be treated, then you should learn to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of יהוה (Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4, & 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
