Yom She-ni, Sivan 23, 6002 – June 19, 2017
It Has Been Written
This is a powerful beginning to a statement made by our Messiah. Interestingly, the devil tried to use it as well. In both cases, the scriptures were being quoted. Why then was there only one that prevailed? Perhaps it is because of what scriptures are meant to be.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The purpose of the scriptures is to bring about the will of our Father. It was not His will that the enemy should prevail, but that we His children – mankind – should prevail. That there is great force in scripture is evident from the beginning.
Deuteronomy 4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
And again.
Deuteronomy 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
We see that we are given wisdom and understanding, and that the commandments are meant to help us possess the land. The scriptures and the doing of them mark us. There is more to be said here about the Passover and the dethroning of the spiritual darkness and the redemption from the curse that we might receive the blessing. But this is sufficient for now.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will, Father, be done in this earth just as it is in the heavens. Send us today, yes today, Your overwhelming provision such that it overflows to those around us. Forgive us our transgressions and trespasses, and help us all to be forgiving like You Father, forgiving those that have transgressed and trespassed against us. We declare cleansed hearts for our families and friends such that no shred of memory of evil remains, replaced by those good things that You have spoken. We declare healing in our hearts and minds. We declare healing in our physical bodies. Restore, my King, rise up and restore Your people. Restore the substance and all prosperity, showing us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
