Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS
More precious to YAH than treasures are WE! But ye… a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should
show forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into
his marvelous light:
Which in time past were not a
people, but are now the people of
YAH: which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained
mercy.
~1 Peter 2:9-10
Being confident of this very thing,
that he which hath begun a good work
in you will perform until the day of
Yahushua HaMashiach
~ Philippians 1:6
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto treasure hid in a field; the which
when a man hath found, he hideth,
and for joy thereof goeth and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a merchant man, seeking goodly
pearls: Who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all
that he had, and bought it.
~Matthew 13:44-46
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you
Ěliyah the prophet before the
coming of the great and
dreadful day of יהוה:
Mal 4:6 and he shall turn the heart
of the fathers to the sons, and the
heart of the sons to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse.
Mat 17:10 And His taught ones
asked Him, saying, “Why then
do the scribes say that Ěliyah
has to come first?”
Mat 17:11 And יהושע answering, said
to them, “Ěliyah is indeed coming
first, and shall restore all.
INTRODUCTION C
In closing, we will look at a few
passages implying “that serpent of old
called the Devil and Satan” has
deceived the whole world. By the
articles end we will clearly see WHY
ELIJAH was the prophet chosen to
represent the Most High in these last
days, of all the biblical prophets we
learn about in the Holy Scripture.
Mat 24:1 And going out, יהושע went
away from the Sanctified Place, and
His taught ones came near to point out
to Him the buildings of the Sanctified
Place.
Mat 24:2 And יהושע said to them, “Do
you not see all these? Truly, I say to
you, not one stone shall be left here
upon another, at all, which shall not be
thrown down.”
Mat 24:3 And as He sat on the Mount of
Olives, the taught ones came to Him
separately, saying, “Say to us, when
shall this be, and what is the sign of Your
coming, and of the end of the age?”
Mat 24:4 And יהושע answering, said to
them, “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE LEADS
YOU ASTRAY.
When we consider the questions
asked by the disciples, “when shall this
be” referring to the destruction of the
temple described; “what is the sign of
your coming,” inquiring as to when He
would take power from the heathen,
“and of the end of the age”, a reference
to the 7,000 year period mankind has
been allotted. The question we must
ask is, why He responded in the
manner He did; “take heed that no one
leads you astray”. Does this teach that
deception would be great in the world?
Our adversary is responsible for
causing, not a portion of the world, but
the whole of humanity, to believe
something as being true that is not true.
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
But let’s continue the line of thought
Yahushua was on:
Mat 24:5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I AM THE
MESSIAH,’ and they shall lead many astray…
Mat 24:11 “And many FALSE PROPHETS
shall rise up and lead many astray…
Mat 24:24 “For FALSE MESSIAHS and
FALSE PROPHETS shall arise, and they
shall show great signs and
wonders, so as to lead astray, IF
POSSIBLE, even the chosen ones.
In the next passage Brother Shaul [Paul]
builds upon this thought:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself IS TRANSFORMED into an ANGEL OF LIGHT.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great
thing IF HIS MINISTERS ALSO BE
TRANSFORMED as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works.
What this teaches is that our
adversary has the ability to present himself as
a messenger of the Most High and that he has
ministers who do the same. How does this
reflect on the multitude of religions in
the world today? Brother Yahudah [Jude] gives us an idea of how this was
accomplished:
Jud 1:4 For certain men have slipped
in, whose judgment was written
about long ago, wicked ones
PERVERTING THE FAVOR OF OUR
MIGHTY ONE for indecency, AND
DENYING the only Master and our יה
Master יהושע Messiah.
Brother Kepha [Peter] supports this idea
as well:
2Pe 2:1 But there also came to be FALSE PROPHETS among the people, as also among you there shall be FALSE TEACHERS, who shall secretly bring in DESTRUCTIVE
HERESIES, AND DENY the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth SHALL BE
EVIL SPOKEN OF, 2Pe 2:3 and in greed, WITH
FABRICATED WORDS, they shall use you
for gain. From of old their judgment
does not linger, and their
destruction does not slumber.
Remember these points when
we continue our study in upcoming
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
lessons. However, before the creation
of humanity, Hĕylĕl and 1/3 of the
angelic beings [AKA demons] were cast
from the abode of the Most High and
now reside in the realm created for
humanity, according to the following
passages:
Rev 12:3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and see, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail draws a third of
the stars of the heaven and throws them
to the earth. And the dragon stood
before the woman who was about
to give birth, to devour her child as
soon as it was born.
Eph 2:1 And you were dead in trespasses and sins,
Eph 2:2 in which you once walked
according to the course of this
world, according to the ruler of the
authority of the air, of the spirit that is
now working in the sons of
disobedience,
Isa 45:18 For thus said יהוה, Creator
of the heavens, He is the Mighty
Ones, Former of earth and its Maker,
He established it, He did not create it
to be empty, HE FORMED IT TO BE
INHABITED: “I am יהוה, and there is
none else.
After being cast forth from his position
in the heavens, the adversary and his
minions now abide within the earth’s
atmosphere, where they now wield
their influence over humanity by their
deceptive ways. How has this
impacted humanity? What did the
adversary do to sway a world from the
knowledge of their Maker?
Furthermore, what about the people of
the Most High? Those who were called
to be His representatives, His
ambassadors in the world? Where are
they today? Who speaks for the Most
High today? Let us begin our quest to
understanding WHY ELIJAH will be
sent to usher in the coming of Messiah
.יהושע
In order to understand why the
prophet Eliyah is being sent we must
take a look at his story, as told in the
book of the kings. But first, what about
the belief that Yuchanan [John the Baptist]
fulfilled the role.
Luk 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zachar’yah: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisheba shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Luk 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luk 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Master, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Luk 1:16 And many of the children of Israel
shall he turn to יהוה their Mighty One.
Luk 1:17 AND HE SHALL GO BEFORE
HIM IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIYAH, to
turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
just; to make ready a people prepared for
.יהוה
Based on this passage Yuchanan was
indeed given the spirit of Eliyah, so
why would there be a need for another
to fulfill that position? This is the
question many must ask regarding this
passage. Furthermore, many people
bypass the first clause, “and he shall go
before him;” what does that indicate?
Let’s compare:
Joh 1:19 And this is the record of Yuchanan, when the Yahudiym [Jews] sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Joh 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Messiah.
Joh 1:21 And they asked him, What
then? ART THOU ELIYAH? AND HE
SAITH, I AM NOT. Art thou that
prophet? And he answered, No.
Why did Yuchanan respond that he
wasn’t Eliyah, if indeed, he was?
Compare the following passages:
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Yuchanan.
Mat 11:14 AND IF YE WILL RECEIVE IT, THIS IS ELIYAH, which was for to come.
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Why say, “if ye will receive it,” instead
of stating it definitively? Was there
doubt as to the person of Yuchanan?
Or, was Yuchanan a TYPE of Eliyah,
serving as forerunner to Messiah?
Mat 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 3:3 For this is he that was spoken
of by the prophet Yeshayah [Isaiah],
saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF
THE MASTER, MAKE HIS PATHS
STRAIGHT.
John the Baptist’s task then, was to
fulfill the role of the person sent in
advance to announce the coming of
another. Consider the following
passage:
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with
water unto repentance: BUT HE THAT
COMETH AFTER ME is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy
Spirit, and with fire:
Joh 3:23 And Yuchanan also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Joh 3:24 For Yuchanan was not yet cast into prison.
Joh 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of Yuchanan's disciples and the Yahudim about purifying.
Joh 3:26 And they came unto Yuchanan, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, TO WHOM THOU
BAREST WITNESS, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
Joh 3:27 Yuchanan answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Joh 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me
witness, that I said, I AM NOT THE
MESSIAH, BUT THAT I AM SENT BEFORE HIM.
Clearly, John was the forerunner to the
first coming of the Messiah; many who
deny this fact fail to acknowledge what
the Holy Scripture plainly teaches.
Additionally, let us now compare our
opening passage:
Mat 17:11 And יהושע answered and
said unto them, ELIYAH TRULY SHALL FIRST
COME, AND RESTORE ALL THINGS.
One simple question, what did John
the Baptist restore? If we recall his
ministry, it was, “I indeed baptize you
with water unto repentance,” but,
according to Messiah, a restoration
would also take place by EliYah. Let
us now take a look at a prophecy
within the pages of Holy Scripture to
shed more light on this controversial
subject.
PART ONE
Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had TWO SONS, the one BY A BONDMAID, the other BY A FREEWOMAN.
Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Gal 4:24 WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY…
G238 αλληγορεω
allegoreo
al-lay-gor-eh'-o
From G243 andαγορεω agoreo
(to harangue (compare G58); to allegorize. (The Greek word itself.): - be an allegory [the Greek word itself].
Total KJV occurrences: 1
An allegory is a representation of an
abstract meaning through concrete
formula; i.e. the Most High is using
something we can relate to on a
human level to reveal His will.
Let’s continue this passage: Gal 4:24b …for these are the two covenants;
the one from the Mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, WHICH IS HAGAR.
Gal 4:25 FOR THIS HAGAR IS MOUNT SINAI
IN ARABIA, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is THE MOTHER OF US ALL.
“The mother of us all,” is a reference
to Sarah; as Paul clearly elucidates,
their sons point to the old and new
covenants respectively. This passage
has been a part of the scriptural record
for millennia, but here is a question for
you; how many wives did Abraham
have?
Gen 25:1 Then AGAIN Abraham TOOK A WIFE AND HER NAME WAS KETURAH.
How does Abraham’s third wife factor
in? Consider her name’s definition:
H6989
קטורה
qeturah
ket-oo-raw'
Feminine passive participle of H6999; perfumed; Keturah, a wife of Abraham: - Keturah.
Total KJV occurrences: 4
H6999
טרק
qatar
kaw-tar'
A primitive root (rather identical with H7000 through the idea of fumigation in a close place and perhaps thus driving out the occupants); to smoke, that is,
turn into fragrance by fire (ESPECIALLY AS
AN ACT OF WORSHIP):
Total KJV occurrences: 116
H7000
קטר
qatar
kaw-tar'
A primitive root; to inclose:
Total KJV occurrences: 1
Why wasn’t she mentioned when Paul
explained the symbolism of Hagar and
Sarah? Her name implies turning into
a fragrance by fire, as an act of
worship; what are we supposed to
learn from this? But first, let’s
establish the truth of this being the
definition implied; compare the
following
passages
incorporating the
term found in
#6999 in your
Strong’s Hebrew
Lexicon:
Exo 29:13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, AND BURN
THEM upon the altar.
Exo 29:18 AND THOU SHALT BURN the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt
offering unto יהוה: IT IS A SWEET
SAVOUR, an offering made by fire unto
.יהוה
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
Exo 29:25 And thou shalt receive them of
their hands, AND BURN THEM upon the altar
for a burnt offering, FOR A SWEET
SAVOUR before יהוה: it is an offering
made by fire unto יהוה.
In each instance the offering is burnt
and the smoke of the offering ascends
to the Most High. This is the context
of Qeturah’s name; what it means.
This is very important when we
discuss why Elijah is the prophet to be
used in the latter days. Speaking of
which, what did John the Baptist do
indicating a restoration of worship?
During this section of our study we
will look at the three wives of
Abraham as the development of one
assembly in three stages, viz. Israel,
referencing them by 1st, 2nd and 3rd
stage. Abraham, whose name means
‘father of a multitude’ signifies our
Heavenly Father; each woman,
(women often symbolizing an
assembly prophetically), representing
a stage in the development of His
people. The first stage being Hagar,
whose name means ‘flight,’ according
to Brown, Driver & Briggs Hebrew
lexicon, but when we look at the word
in as it appears Hebrew we learn that it
can also have the meaning of ‘the
stranger,’ #1481. The second stage is
Sarah, whose name means ‘princess’
and the third stage is Keturah, which
means ‘perfumed’, in the context
explained earlier. That being said, does
this teach that the third stage of Israel’s
development will be highlighted by
worship; a worship that is to be
accepted by the Most High? First, let’s
finish Paul’s allegory to see where he
takes us next:
Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Gal 4:28 NOW WE, brethren, AS ISAAC WAS, ARE THE CHILDREN OF PROMISE.
Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born AFTER
THE FLESH persecuted him that was born AFTER THE SPIRIT, even so it is now.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN
AND HER SON: for the son of the bondwoman SHALL NOT be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, WE ARE NOT
CHILDREN OF THE BONDWOMAN, BUT
OF THE FREE.
In Paul’s allegory the sons, along with
Hagar and Sarah, are used to
symbolize how Israel was in
bondage before Messiah; and how
now, through Messiah, they would
be made free. But what about the
sons of Abraham’s third wife, do
they teach us anything? Putting this
information together for the
purpose of our study the symbolism
of the wives and the sons’ changes
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
from representing the covenants to
the stages of Israel’s development,
as mentioned previously. When we
consider Hagar’s name, which
translates as ‘flight’ that bore
Iyshma’Al [Ishmael], whose name
means ‘heard of Mighty One,’ how
does this signify Israel’s
development?
Gen 16:11 And the angel of יהוהsaid unto
her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt
bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;
BECAUSE יהוה HATH HEARD THY
AFFLICTION.
Exo 3:7 And יהוה said, I have surely seen
THE AFFLICTION of my people which are in
Egypt, AND HAVE HEARD THEIR CRY by
reason of their taskmasters; for I know their
sorrows;
First, it signifies
Israel being heard
by the Most High;
remember, Israel
wasn’t a nation until
they went down into
Mitzraiym [Egypt]. At
this time Israel
could also be viewed as a stranger to
the Most High. Let’s continue:
Exo 12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame
day, THAT יהוה DID BRING THE SONS OF
ISRAEL OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT BY
THEIR ARMIES.
This passage points to Israel’s taking flight
from Egypt by the hand of Moses, who will
be the figure head of Israel’s first stage of
development, corresponding with Hagar and
Ishmael. What do we learn from Sarah, which
means ‘princess’ and Isaac, which means
‘laughter’?
Luk 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, THE
BABE LEAPED IN MY WOMB FOR JOY.
Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I BRING YOU GOOD
TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, which shall be to all people.
Laughter signifies joy,
which, in addition to
being a fruit of the
spirit, Gal. 5:22, it was
also associated with the coming of
messiah, as indicated by the above
verses.
Mat 22:1 And יהושע answered and
spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is LIKE
UNTO A CERTAIN KING, WHICH MADE A
MARRIAGE FOR HIS SON,
Israel’s status of princess derives from
being married to the son of a king;
Yahushua will be the figure head of
Israel’s second stage of development.
Next we have Qeturah, who bore six
sons to Abraham, but why six?
Gen 25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
Gen 25:2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
What do we learn from the meanings
of their names? Zimran is derived
from ‘zamar,’ which means ‘to play an
instrument or sing with musical
accompaniment,’ #2167 in the
Strong’s. The name Yoqshan derives
from #3369 which means ‘to snare
animals, esp. birds.’ Medan and
Midiyan both come from #4090 which
means ‘contention;’ Iysh’baq comes
from #7662 implying ‘not bothering or
disturbing something,’ and Shuach
means ‘to be bowed down or humble’
from #7743. Consider the message
within the names of Qeturah’s sons; A
musician will entrap birds contending
one who contends not disturbing those
bowed down. Does this indicate that
this stage of development will have
something to do with worship? Will
the worship be a sweet smelling savor,
Qeturah, to the Most High? But what
does this have to do with Elijah coming
on the scene, you may ask?
Mat 17:1 And after six days יהושע taketh
Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them MOSES and ELIJAH talking with him.
Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said
unto יהושע, Lord, it is good for us to be
here: if thou wilt, LET US MAKE HERE THREE
TABERNACLES; ONE FOR THEE, AND ONE
FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIJAH.
Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mar 9:2 And after six days יהושע taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
Mar 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
Mar 9:4 And there appeared unto them ELIJAH with MOSES: and they were
talking with יהושע. Mar 9:5 And Peter answered and said to
Master, it is good for us to be ,יהושע
here: AND LET US MAKE THREE
TABERNACLES; ONE FOR THEE, AND
ONE FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIJAH. Mar 9:6 FOR HE WIST NOT WHAT TO
SAY; for they were sore afraid.
Luk 9:28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Luk 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
Luk 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were MOSES and ELIJAH:
Luk 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luk 9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Luk 9:33 And it came to pass, as they
departed from him, Peter said unto
Master, it is good for us to be ,יהושע
here: AND LET US MAKE THREE
TABERNACLES; ONE FOR THEE, AND ONE
FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIJAH: NOT
KNOWING WHAT HE SAID.
After reading these three
accounts of the transfiguration of
Yahushua, what comes to mind? Of all
the prophets that could have appeared
with Messiah during this event, why
were Moses and Elijah chosen? Does
this mean anything? Why would
Kepha [Peter] suggest the making of
“three tabernacles?” Was it merely
because “he knew not what to say,” or,
“not knowing what he said?” Or does
it have a deeper meaning? The fact that
these questions are being presented
infer that Peter’s remarks do in fact
have significance to our study,
otherwise, why would the Most High
have them recorded thrice? This is the
more important question. Although
Peter may not have known why he said
those things, the Most High surely did!
The three tabernacles mentioned, just
so happen to coincide with the three
stages of Israel’s development,
synonymous with the three wives of
Abraham currently under discussion.
As mentioned Moses points to the first
stage, Yahushua the second stage, and
we are awaiting the manifestation of
the third stage, which is Elijah’s.
Consider this excerpt from the story of
Elijah as told in 1 Kings:
1Ki 18:30 And Elijah said unto all the
people, Come near unto me. And all
the people came near unto him. AND
HE REPAIRED THE ALTAR OF יהוה THAT
WAS BROKEN DOWN.
To be continued…
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
A new day, new
battles….
Actually, one battle that assumes different forms: I Want vs. I Should. The day’s first battlefield is your bed, and the first shot is fired when the alarm clock rings. I Want reaches out to hit the snooze button; I Should is ready to jump out of bed and take on another day.
That’s why the first instruction in the Code of Jewish Law is: “Be strong as a lion when you wake up in the morning to serve your Creator.” Because if you win this battle, the rest are lamb chops.
The Most High - Abba YAH chose to return your soul to your body and grant you once again the gift of life
Here’s some fodder for your cannon in those early morning forays: Think how, every night, your soul ascends to heaven to recharge. This morning, Abba YAH chose to return your soul to your body and grant you once again the gift of life—a sure sign that there’s a little dark corner left in this world for you to come and illuminate. YAH trusts that you are up to the task.
Now verbalize it:
ת בי מודה אני ל פניך מלך חי ו קים, שהחזר לה. רבה אמונתך. חמ מתי ב נש
Modeh anee lefanecha melech
chai vekayam, she-he-chezarta
bee nishmatee b’chemla, raba
emunatecha.
I offer thanks to You, living and eternal
King, for You have mercifully restored my
soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.
These are the first words we utter every morning—while still lying in bed. Our first conscious moments are spent thanking YAH for the gift of life. It doesn’t matter what we did yesterday or last night; nothing can taint those first innocent words that sit at our primal consciousness.
Still having a problem dragging yourself out of bed? Use your imagination. Picture yourself lying there while a king or head of state stands above you, waiting for you to get your act together to execute some critical mission.
Well, it isn’t a king or president. It is the one who creates kings, presidents, and the entire world at every moment—and you too. Again. Today.
Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
with a patient of mine recently. He was a 56
year old man that was admitted to the
hospital with severe shortness of breath
after walking up to his 6th floor apartment
with groceries. He rested for a few minutes
but was unable to recover so he called EMS.
By the time I saw him he was back to his
usual state of health. He was a very pleasant
man, easy to talk with and had a kind
smile. When I asked him what medical
problems he had he mentioned high blood
pressure. He was very proud of the fact that
he had stopped smoking cold turkey several
months ago and joked that now that he's
stopped smoking he'll have a heart attack,
which was why he called 911. We spoke
about his needing to lose weight and he
agreed. In fact, he had just bought a fancy
blender and his shopping bags were filled
with fresh fruits and vegetables. His plan
was to go on a soup and liquid diet with
hopes of losing weight. I actually spent as
much time teaching him about a healthy way
to lose weight as I did about his acute
medical problem. He was about to embark on
a diet that so many of us have tried in the
past. Something drastic, well intended but
doomed for failure.
This is what I shared with him...
1. The first thing I told him was that I try to
maintain a healthful lifestyle because I believe
that my body is the dwelling place of The Most
High. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
2. Dieting isn't the answer. What would benefit
him was to change the way he
thought about his body and food. (Romans
12:2). Food is fuel for our bodies. The choices
we make should be based on how it can benefit
us, not on how it tastes.
3. Any drastic measures taken to lose weight
will fail 100% of the time because it is not
sustainable. (I told my patient unless he was
planning on losing all his teeth, a soup/liquid diet
wasn't gonna fly ) You can't live on a liquid
diet forever. Living without eating any particular
food group can't last forever. Exercising 2 hours
every day is not something that can last forever.
Weight will drop, but since the way it was lost is
not sustainable it's only a matter of time until it
comes back.
4. I encouraged him to educate himself.
(Mishle/Proverbs 4:5-Get wisdom...) To learn
about nutrition, how to read labels and make
smart choices.
5. Avoid processed foods which is usually
loaded with added salt, sugar, and
unpronounceable ingredients. Buying fresh
organic fruits, vegetable and meats when
possible. Preparing your meals and snacks at
home is a huge game changer. You control the
ingredients, the portion size, and it's economical.
6. Increase physical activity. You don't need an
expensive gym membership, just some
comfortable sneakers. Walking is the simplest
and easiest exercise that almost any one of us
can do. I told him to start with just walking
around the block and steadily increase the
distance. Certainly if you have a gym
membership you should put it to use. Maybe
typical exercises don't interest you. You can try
kickboxing, martial arts, swimming, squash etc.
I pray this article edifies all those reading it.
Faith is our backbone. The Strength of our faith
determines how we stand. Are we
strong? Are we weak? Do we have
scoliosis of the Spirit?...You know,
the curving away from the straight
up TRUTH of the matter?
Let us hold fast the profession of
our faith without wavering; (for he
is faithful that promised; And let
us consider one another to provoke
unto love and to good works: Not
forsaking the assembling of
ourselves together, as the manner of
some is; but exhorting one another:
and so much the more, as ye see the
day approaching.
~Hebrews 10:23-25
Faith is like a fire that melts
your feet onto the path that YAH
has given. Truth is the thing that
brought you to that same path.

Blessed be YAHUEH
the Mighty One of Yisra’Al;
for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
And hath raised up
an horn of salvation
for us in the house of his servant David;
As he spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets, which have been since
the world began:
That we should be saved from our
enemies, and from the hand of all
that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to
our fathers, and to remember his holy
covenant;
The oath which he sware to
our father Abraham,
That he would grant unto us, that we
being delivered out of the hand of
our enemies might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him,
all the days of our life.
~Luke 1:68-75

At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to
meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their
lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their
lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’7 “Then all the
virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your
oil; our lamps are going out.’9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you.
Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’10 “But while they were on their way
to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding
banquet. And the door was shut.11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the
door for us!’12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’13 “Therefore keep watch,
because you do not know the day or the hour. ~Matthew 25:1-13

Rejoice always; pray
without ceasing; in
everything give thanks;
for this is YAH's will for
you in Mashiach
YAHUSHUA
~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
And pray in the Spirit on
all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and
requests. With this in
mind, be alert and
always keep on praying
for all the Master's
people.
~ Ephesians 6:18
And he spake a parable unto
them to this end, that men
ought always to pray, and not
to faint;
~ Luke 18:1
Worry NOT!!!! Let the Messiah Yahushua calm the storms in your life. Turn
to the Set-Apart Spirit of YAH when you feel worried and He will take care of
you. Turn your worries into the most heart-felt prayers ever. Unrestrained.
Reference: Matthew 8:23-27
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples
followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in
the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the
waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Master, save us: we perish. And he
said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying,
What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the
sea obey him!

Qul Alahiym – The Voice of POWERS 2015
What are we dealing
with?
Understand the nature of man
Jn.3:19 men love darkness Rom. 1:28 reprobate mind 2 Thess. 2:10 no love of truth Jn 8:47 not of Yah Prov. 14:12 Jn. 12:40 blinded and hardened hearts Rom. 11:8 spirit of slumber
How do we overcome
objections to the gospel?
Two ways:
A. Preemptive anticipation and
responding
B. Dealing with objections as they arise
1. Don't be quick to speak > Let them
see that you take their objection serious.
**Use active listening methods** What
they are telling you will help you sell to
them.
2. Gather objection about why they are
objecting
> "What do you mean?" vs. "Why?" >
Reinforcing all the reasons for the
objection
> Body language
3. "Seek to understand" > Rephrase
what they said => shows that you care
4. Address the objection once you
understand the objection
***DON'T GET SIDETRACKED***
Don't lose control / get angry / defensive
5. Check their understanding of what you
said
6. Close the "sale"
So???..... How did you do? and How could you improve?

Which crime is worse, financial exploitation or verbal abuse?
"Money can be reimbursed," "but the hurt from words is irreparable; money is a person's property, but words hurt the person himself."
Whether it's due to circumstance or nature, some people are more emotionally vulnerable than others. The Torah repeatedly tells us to watch our words with the widow, the orphan and the immigrant. Men are enjoined to speak sensitively to their wives. "The gates of prayer are sometimes closed," we are warned, "but never the gates of tears."
Whether due to circumstance or nature, some people are more emotionally vulnerable than others
Here are a few prototypes of verbal exploitation:
Name Calling: "Hey Traintracks! Can you pick up Radio China with that mouth gear?"
Chiding: "Cheer up, buddy! It's all for the good. Must be that you did some sins that this suffering is now expunging!"
Past Digging: "Look, Mary, a picture of you before the acne treatment!"
Wasting My Time: Joe asks Bill for help in his business, and Bill sends him on a wild goose chase, purposely providing useless internet links, defunct phone numbers and connections that won't get him anywhere. Bill says he meant well, but he knows the truth.
A more subtle example: Wayne walks into a store with great customer service and juices the salesperson for all the information he needs while trying all the samples. Then, once he's determined the best deal, he buys it at half-price online.
Public Embarrassment: "It's your fault, Johnny, if you didn't prepare. You're going to stand up there and make the presentation anyways."
"Better for a man to cast himself into a fiery furnace," as the saying goes, "than to shame his fellow in public." Publicly embarrassing someone, we are told, is not just breaking his bones–it's cold-blooded murder. If you have an issue with someone, deal with it privately. Be open and try to work out a resolution. Whenever possible, just forgive and forget and get on with life.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to
teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of YAH, and you have come to need
milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the
word of righteousness, for he is an infant. But solid food is for the mature, who because
of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
~ Hebrews 5:12-14
Yahueh of armies will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with
marrow, and refined, aged wine. ~ Isaiah 25:6
"Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding.
~ Jeremiah 3:15
"I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which
I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."
~ John 6:51
'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches to him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of
life which is in the Paradise of YAH.'
~ Revelation 2:7
But thanks be to YAH, who always
leads us in triumph in Messiah, and
manifests through us the sweet aroma
of the knowledge of Him in every
place. For we are a fragrance of
Messiah to YAH among those who are
being saved and among those who are
perishing; to the one an aroma from
death to death, to the other an aroma
from life to life. And who is adequate
for such a task as this?

It's me again... I hope you're having a great day. I needed to speak with you because my heart is heavy. I look around and it looks like the enemy is winning. It only appears that way because the people of the Covenant aren't as busy as he is. They are so easily distracted... So quick to sit down and rest, really before even bursting a sweat. I think they've forgotten this work will cost them everything, but they actually want to keep everything; their lives, cars, homes, and family. I have to remember that they are but dust. I pray that they remember that I gave my life for them so that they would continue our mission. They talk a good game, but this isn't time for games! The enemy is getting more brazen, more ruthless, moving with more boldness. My people- they commentate. They like deep conversation and analytical summations. That's only because they don't understand that faith without work is dead. They don't see that they live as if they're cursed. They don't see that they live as if they don't really believe in You, Me, or themselves. They've forgotten that the enemy is terrified of them. They've forgotten who they were created to look like. They've forgotten who they were created to rule with. They've forgotten their Power. They've forgotten their calling. Oh, why don't the things that break Our heart; break theirs? Where is their sighing and crying over what they see? Why aren't
they flooding our gates with fasting and praying? Where is their compassion and empathy? I know where; buried so deep inside- pushed so far back, that they don't realize that they don't care anymore....Oh, Abba.... The time is near to send in My brother, AliYahu. He bring turn their hearts back to you by Your spirit. He will make the crooked ways straight; he will move in our Power. He will bring hope to them...they need it. Many of them are so afraid; trusting in themselves but not Us. Makes me wonder; do they really know us? Do they really know Our Power?
My heart is heavy Abba, but I know Your will, will be done.

David was soooo tired, He couldn’t lift his sleepy head, But he had to go to school, So he crawled out of bed.
What did David have for breakfast? Super Sugar Cereal! That was his very favorite. He gulped down three bowls full!
For lunch he ate ten fireballs, But that was all he had. After he got finished, Everything else tasted bad!
At dinner, he was grouchy. After soda, he’d had enough. But that was just because He had filled up on junky stuff!
Oh my! Our David! He ate like that each day, But, thank YAH, he had a friend, With whom he liked to play.
Once Raphael came to visit. The hours quickly passed. They played games all afternoon. They really had a blast!
Next to them sat healthy treats, And you know what David said,
"Why don't we get some goodies? Let's have some nosh instead!"
Then Raphael started laughing. He said, "What do you mean?" Did you know that YAH makes The best food you've ever seen!" "What do you mean?" asked David. He looked puzzled now. Raphael pointed to a bowl of fruit, And then he said, "Look how!"
"Let's take this banana here. It's so much fun to eat. Peel off its yellow wrapper And you've got the greatest treat!"
"Well, guess Who wrapped it up for us! And Who made each fruit small? A fruit comes in just the right size, For you to eat it all!"
"And what is brighter and sweeter Than this watermelon's red? Why would you want to choose a plain brown candy bar instead?"
"Round, red cherries and blueberries- They're bite-size candy, ready to eat! So are purple grapes and green ones – Try one super duper treat!"
"YUM!" squealed David loudly, "This is really delicious! But can something that tastes
this good, Also be nutritious?"
"Sure, David, see this carrot slice? Ready for a big surprise? YAH put a hint inside each one! It looks like and helps your eyes!"
"This walnut looks like a little brain! With lots and lots of folds! And you would never guess how much Brain-helping stuff it holds!"
"This long celery stick – don't tell me!" Called David on his own, "This must help – just like white milk – To give us strong bones!"
David started liking healthy treats, Now that he was aware, That every single one of them, God made with SO much care!
Now David jumps out of bed! Super Sugar gets passed by. David loves YAH's candy! Which one would you like to try?

An actual vine of grapes found in Israel. (Sited on Facebook 2015)
And Moshe sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way
southward, and go up into the mountain: And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwells
there, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; And what the land is that they dwell in,
whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in
strong holds; And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or
not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of
the firstripe grapes.
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of
grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of
the figs. The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the
children of Israel cut down from thence.
