Parasha Shelach (Send For Yourself)

from Rabbi Jack… Bible link
Psalm (139:23-24) Search me, 0 God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; 24) And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Man is a very unique being. Unlike all the other creatures on earth, man is the culmination of God's creation. In fact, we are the sum total of all creation. We are physical (clay from the earth), we are spiritual (the image of God), and we are functional (the breath of God). God breathed life into us and we became a living soul. These three factors make up our triune nature; body, soul and spirit. The body we know to be our flesh, our physical make up. The soul is our minds and our consciousness, it contains our free will. Our spirit is our God like nature. It is our spirit that connects us to God and is our bridge between heaven and earth. Psychics, spiritualists and palm readers are filled with the spirit of the world. The spirit they have is their bridge between hell and earth. That is why they are able to communicate with demons and get information from them about us. Stay away from them, stay away from anything that has to do with the occult and that includes reading horoscopes. The stars are not in control of our life, God is. When God said that He created man in His image, He was not necessarily speaking about His physical image, even though we know that God can manifest Himself in the physical, as He did in Yeshua. But the image referred to by God, I believe, is His spiritual image, for we know that God is Spirit. Unlike all the other creatures created by God on the earth, a born again believer has the moral essence of God living inside of them. This is reflected in the way God instructs us to behave towards one another and the way He instructs us to behave towards Him. Mark 12:30-31 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31) " And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

Do You save old emails or WhatsApp texts or are you a great deleter? The other day I was looking through some old texts and I noticed many ended with “I love you”. So nice, but is it always true or is it just a casual salutation without truly meaning it or showing it. What is love? There is love between a husband and a wife. There is love for our children. There is love for relatives and friends. There is incredible and unending love from God who sent His only begotten Son to earth to die for all our afflictions and iniquities. So, what is the casual love we say so quickly to each other upon departing? Is there any more to it when you say goodnight to your children and end with, ‘I love you, or when Aunt Sadie comes to visit and upon leaving you say, ‘I love you,’ or when your best friends are leaving and all parties say ‘I love you’ to each other…? Now the hard question comes…is your wife or husband saved? Are your children saved? Are your relatives and friends saved, even your best friend and what about Aunt Sadie, is she saved? True love is telling each and every one you know what we mentioned above. ‘That God so loved the world that He sent Yeshua to die for you and for me.’ If you truly love your spouse, your children, your relatives, your friends and even Aunt Sadie and do not want to see them end up in hell, then next time you say ‘I love you,’ mean it and tell them about Yeshua!
Yours in Messiah Yeshua, "…while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua." (Titus 2:13) Rabbi Jack & Ellen
