Yom Shli-shi, Tishri 5, 6002 – September 26, 2017
What To Build Upon
Everything we have comes from our Father. He is ultimately the provider because He was and is and will always be the Creator. We may live in troubled times, and we have a right to be concerned about issues today. Ultimately, division can only be settled by turning to a higher power, something greater than us. From the scriptures, we see that the origin is our Elohim. And where did it begin for us that God and man once again were in communication?
Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.with the earth:
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
This was repeated again by the man who came to be known as Abraham.
Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
In the end, each individual has to call upon God, and respond to His voice when He answers. Abraham is said to be the Father of our faith because he responded to our heavenly Father and packed up his family and left his home country. In all of these cases, there is known to be something revealed from the beginning. We see it in the direction given to Noah about what to take into the ark.
Genesis 7:1 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.by sevens: Heb. seven seven
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
If there was no Law from the beginning, then what made the animals clean and unclean? Perhaps the Law always existed, written in the heaven.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:the day…: Heb. between the day and between the night
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Let us build as it was from the beginning, upon what our Father created. His will in heaven is to be in the earth. This is the job of mankind.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done in heaven as it is in the earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore right relationships among the brethren. Restore one hundredfold all possessions and finances that have been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Rise up, my King, and show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are our King, that You alone are God. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH! Amen.
