Malachi 3:13—15, ““Your words against Me have been harsh,” says the LORD. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What have we gained by keeping His requirements and walking mournfully before the LORD of Hosts? So now we call the arrogant blessed. Not only do evildoers prosper, they even test God and escape.’ ” This certainly reads like it is written for the world we live in today and it sounds depressing but there is always hope. The next verse is a promise, “At that time those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD listened and heard them. So a scroll of remembrance was written before Him regarding those who feared the LORD and honored His name.”
If the ruler of your country did the following, what would your thoughts be:
1. Forced you to pay higher than usual taxes to build up the state's coffers.
2. Bought up all the land during a financial collapse so that all the land became state owned.
3. Bought up all the people and made them work for the state.
4. Moved all the people to cities so that they could be better controlled.
5. Sold the food that was gathered with the higher taxes back to the people.

Healing Promise:
“I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14)
Healing Promise:
Abba, I believe Your Word, which tells me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of Your works and Your works are marvellous. I thank You that my substance was not hid from You when You made me in secret. Your eyes did see my unformed substance and in Your book all my members were written as You fashioned me with Your hands. Thank You for these precious truths Abba. Thank You for Your everlasting love, which I experience now as I pray. Your love Adonai YHVH, helps me to realize there is no condemnation to me because I am in Yeshua Moshiach. And because I am in Moshiach, I purpose to walk according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh. Thank You for Your promise which assures me that nothing can ever separate me from Your love. Help me to grow in the grace and knowledge of Yeshua Moshiach, because I know that such Spiritual growth will help me to see myself as You see me, Abba; complete in Yeshua Moshiach. Thank You for creating me in Your image. Thank You for Yeshua Who died for me and set me free from all negative powers. When I became a believer Abba, I became a completely new creation in Yeshua Moshiach. In fact, You transformed me into a wonderful new creation of Your own handiwork. The old things are behind me now and You have made all things new in my life. It thrills me Abba, to realize You have fully delivered me from the power of darkness and You have translated me into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love, Yeshua Moshiach my Adonai. Thank You Abba that You have made me complete in Yeshua Moshiach and I have put off the old man (including the negative way I used to view myself) and I have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Yeshua. Thank You for changing me and helping me to love myself as You love me. Now Abba, it is my heart-felt desire to stand perfect and complete in Your will. Thank You for the truth that helps me to understand that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness and that I do not have to make myself perfect, but You O my Adonai are perfecting me. Hallelujah! Thank You Abba, that through Moshiach, I am one of Your beloved children. You have me Your child, an heir and a joint heir with Moshiach my Saviour. What an amazing truth this is and what a wonderful Abba You are. In the Name of Yeshua I pray, amen.
Does anyone here know of any Torah communities here in the U.S.A.? My hubby and I will be traveling West from VA in January. We would like to visit communities and home groups as we go. We are musicians who love to praise God and it would be a delight to fellowship and praise God with other Torah folk as we travel.
When Jacob divided his family and gave so much of what he had to Esau, was he being a selfish coward or a humble leader?
This will be the topic of my email this week! Subscribe at https://jaycarper.com/subscribe
And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
Genesis 32:24
Why did Jacob stay behind alone when his family was in danger? His being alone is important for prophetic/metaphorical imagery, but 33:1-2 show that he really wasn't far from his family. At most, they were probably still in sight.
How could Jacob have wrestled with anyone if he was alone? Who was this man? Hosea calls him an angel (Hosea 12:4, Hebrew: malak), but Jacob says the man was God (Genesis 32:29).
