Parasha Tetzaveh & Sermon "Yeshua, Who Is He?"

Shalom and Blessings:

As Believers in Messiah Yeshua I think we need a reality check. The Biden administration in the United States has rejoined the Paris Accord, they announced recommitment to a Two State Solution for Israel, and have proclaimed that 'America Is Back,' referring to participating in globalization, which is the way the rest of the world was going. If we look-up and acquaint ourselves with The World Economic Forum and their Great Reset Plan, along with who is involved in it, there is only one conclusion we can come to. The world has set its course and is speeding towards a one world totalitarian government, which is exactly what the Word of God tells us will happen at the end of the age. I do not think that we should find solace in prophetic utterances that there is going to be a flip in the United States election results, but rather we should find comfort and joy in knowing that God's Prophetic Word is right on tract and we are on our way to the second coming. I think what we need now is to be ready, have our 'lamps full of oil and our wicks trimmed' (Matthew 25:1-13), and our hearts and eyes focused on Yeshua because our redemption is drawing near.

Covid -19 restrictions have eased up, to a point, in Israel. There is a Purim curfew of 8:30 pm until Saturday night and the airport closure has been extended until March the 6th, who knows if it will even open up then. On the last flight of Israelis being repatriated from abroad, eleven were found to be infected with a new strain of Covid and that has stirred up calls for a further lockdown. There is a demonic principality, a stronghold demon of religious rebellion operating over Israel and it has been functioning here for thousands of years. Please join us in prayer to bind this spirit and the hold it has on this nation.

Hi Ellen here…I might have mentioned it before but here goes anyway…one of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 46. In verses 1 and 2 it says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea." I would ask you to read the entire Psalm because there is noted in it natural disasters, violence and so much more but it reiterates that God is our refuge in all these situations! Please do not be fearful and dismayed but pray on. God is warning us everyday of what is to come and we need to be ready. In addition, guard your hearts and minds of any fear, intimidation and deception that the evil one would throw at you. Remember that Satan has been around from the beginning of time and is very crafty but our God is bigger than anything he does…God is our refuge!

Parasha Terumah & Sermon "Working Out"

Shalom and Blessings

What is happening to Believers, why are we being so influenced by news reports, current events and prophetic teachers, who are filling the internet with mostly nonsense. Have we not learned our lesson after all the junk news and phony prophecies we had to endure during the U.S. elections? What is the difference between what anyone says; as Believers we should only be interested in what the Bible says, what God says!

Matthew 24:4 Yeshua answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 6) You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7) Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8) All these are the beginning of birth pains. 11) and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

As Believers our eyes should be only and totally on Yeshua and our minds should be totally focused on His imminent return. From the beginning of the end when Yeshua was crucified, God set into motion the process which will lead up to His return. What we see going on around us and what happens day to day is just the process and God's means to the end. When we have our eyes on eternity does anything else really matter? I do not think there is any prayer more appropriate for this time and for these days than:

Matthew 6:9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10) Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11) Give us this day our daily bread, 12) and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13) And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.

As God's elect, we are running the risk of being deceived and turning against each other in the process, if we do not take our eyes off the world and put them where they belong, on Yeshua. Satan would like nothing more than for that to happen to us. Come quickly Yeshua, redeem us, redeem Israel from all her troubles. AMEN!

Hi Ellen here…Jack and I do watch television…OH MY!!! We watch travel shows; we have been around the world several times from our sofa…we watch some cooking shows, you have to be careful of the language in some, and we watch Christian movies. It takes some time to find good believing films because even that industry is trying to please everyone…Anyway we searched the other night for an enriching inspirational film and came up with zero, so we settled on a little flick about some kids called "The Fix It Boys". In this film we learned a valuable lesson…out of the mouth of babes! This is it…in our lifetime we try to fix everything, we lean on our own understanding and most of the time we err. We cannot do anything without the help of our Lord Yeshua, and only by the leading of the Holy Spirit in us can we achieve a good outcome, both pleasing to God and man! Another lesson learned is…no one is too young or old to be saved! Don't neglect your little ones by saving the gospel until they can understand, and please tell every elder in your family circle and friends that without Yeshua…hell is waiting for them.

Parasha Mishpatim & Sermon "Sign of the Times"

Shalom and Blessings

We are finally exiting from our third lockdown. The infection rate is still high, hovering in the thousands, but because of economic pressures and the fact that 4 million people have already been vaccinated, the government has lightened up on some restrictions. Ellen and I are still being cautious and continuing to conduct our lives as if we were not vaccinated.

Most of us are extremely cautious about what we eat. We carefully wash our fruits and vegetables before eating them; and if there is a food recall we check our refrigerators and pantries to find if we have a recalled item so as to discard or return it. Yet, still hundreds of people each year get sick and some die because of eating contaminated food in Israel. Today our world is filled with contaminated news reports. Social media is filled with falsehoods and fake news and we are bombarded on all sides by conflicting information with as many reports for, as there are against, on any given subject. We live in a world filled with immoral and unethical practices, therefore, as Believers in Messiah Yeshua we must be vigilant and guard ourselves from anything that would defile our thoughts, damage our testimonies and in any way hinder our relationship with God.

Hi Ellen here…Passover is soon approaching, but before it comes there's Purim. In fact, this weekend we enter the month of Adar, Friday evening, February 12th. Purim is a time of celebration, kids running through the streets wearing biblical costumes and face masks (which we all possess at this time, face masks that is), acknowledging the deliverance of the Jews from the hands of our enemies; reading the Megillah of Esther, giving donations of food to those less fortunate and so much more…but will we run through the streets singing and dancing this year? Only God knows in this time of uncertainty but we rejoice in our hearts because of all the wonderful works He does in us. Queen Esther prayed and fasted fervently for the deliverance of "her" people. Today we pray for the deliverance of "all" God's children. Please join with us and seek the Lord in all His might and splendor to deliver this world from the present torment…remember always to give thanks in all things and pray unceasingly but also rejoice…for this is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Purim begins on Friday evening, February 25th…let us look forward to deliverance and breakthroughs.

Parasha Yetro & Sermon "Nothing Can Separate Us"

Shalom and Blessings;

Were it not that the rest of the world is in total disarray, we would be very concerned about what is going on here in Israel: the government, the people, and society at large is in a total mess; I am not trying to be negative, just factual!

The general population is under heavy lockdown restrictions, we cannot travel more than one thousand meters from our homes, we are subject to road blocks if we take a road that leads out of our city, we cannot have visitors in our home, or meet with more than 5 people publicly indoors. At the same time the government and police are doing nothing when the ultra-orthodox hold huge weddings and funerals, with hundreds to a thousand participants, many of whom masked; something is wrong with this picture!! As a result of this double standard, the COVID-19 infection rate is in the high thousands every day. This is kind of a Deja-vu of the children of Israel when they were in the wilderness with Moses. How sad that our people have not learned anything or changed their rebellious ways over the thousands of years. Please pray for the ultra-orthodox community here, they are blind and are being led by blind leaders.

Revelation 6:8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Although this passage is referring to the end of the age, it may very well have relevance today. Authorities fear that a rabies outbreak has occurred among jackals in northern Israel after two people were attacked. So, if we apply the above Scripture to today, we have the sword (wars and strife everywhere, including here), we have the famine (Israelis are going hungry due to job losses), we have the plague (Covid-19 is ravaging the land), and now the final ingredient, wild beasts attacking people. Come quickly Lord Yeshua, redeem us, redeem Israel from all her troubles!

Hi Ellen here…Do you know the difference between a lie and the truth? It is very difficult today due to the constant onslaught of news reports and false, misinformation, both for and against Covid-19 and the vaccines. Stop listening, stop watching news reports and start reading the Word of God more. People are always suggesting a new book they have read…I like to suggest THE BOOK! In addition to the above, stop trying to be correct and do everything right…we cannot! Instead of trying to be right remember that Messiah came to this earth as a man to be right for us…sounds sort of disjointed but I know you know what I mean…the law is not kept by us keeping it, but by knowing Messiah is keeping it for us. Have faith, God is in charge…always!
