Parashoit Beshalach - After He Had Let Go

 



From Rabbi Jack

 1 Thessalonians {4:3} It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; {4:4} that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, {4:3} not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; {4:6} and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. {4:7} For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. {4:8} Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you His Holy Spirit.

Paul is saying that marriage is superior to living together like the pagans were doing. The point of the passage is that there are consequences for abandoning this principle of being holy and honorable and the evidence today seems to bear this out. Parents who have chosen to live together instead of marrying have raised young adults who see living together or just having sexual encounters as a viable option to marriage.

Couples today are suffering and our society is deteriorating because the sins the parents committed in having children out of wedlock and in living together instead of getting legally married before God and man, is being passed down to their children. So now the children are committing the same sin their parents committed. The parent’s sin is being visited upon their children, just like the Lord said. It is a spiritual demonic curse that parents have passed down to their children. But it does not only manifest itself in the children having sex before marriage or living together in fornication instead of marrying, but it also manifests itself in other ways; homosexuality, sexual perversion, drug addiction, psychological problems, low self-esteem, depression and the list goes on.

Brother, sister, if you are not legally married to the person you call husband or wife, if you do not have that “legal marriage certificate,” do yourself, your children and your future generations the favor of getting it and get right with God.  Because right now you are a fornicator, no matter how long you have been together. You are living in sin and I do not think I need to tell you where that will get you!


Hi Ellen here…

Jeremiah 29.11-12 says “For I know the thoughts I have toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me, and I will listen to you.”

These verses spoke to me prior to my acceptance of Yeshua; they led me into my salvation and sanctification.  These verses have never left my heart and are always in my mind to this day, more than thirty years later.

When we go on a mission trip, we pray for the Lord to lead us, guide us, give us supernatural discernment into all things and make our way a way of peace and righteousness.  We try our very best not to let our “basar”, Hebrew for flesh, to lead us.  We all know that our flesh and emotions can bring us into a place of doubt and even anger. The flesh serves the law of sin (Romans 7.25), brings corruption (Galatians 5.24), has its own wisdom (not the wisdom of God) (2 Corintians 1.12) and nothing good in it (Romans 7.18). The flesh brings disputes and dissensions, that is why the apostle Paul says to die daily!  We must die daily to our own desires and pray continually, “Lord Your will not ours!!!”.  As we prepared for our trips in the past and even now…we ask for divine insight concerning the message we are to bring to individuals and to groups. These messages are hopefully uplifting and encouraging and not pointing fingers at individuals. We know that sometimes a message is not always pleasant but God wants teaching and not coddling.

Many of the individuals we encounter on our mission are not receiving of the message we bring, but that is alright because if it is God’s message then it is between them and God.  This is true many times but we remember to leave them in love and encouragement.

If you are battling with our current situation then it is imperative that you seek God and ask if it is your flesh, the devil or godly chastisement.  Remember what Yeshua said… “if they hate Me then they will hate you as well (paraphrased)”.  It takes a long time in ministry to be able to discern the hate that sometimes comes against us, but being seasoned, not only in age but also in the Lord we walk away in love.

I leave you all with this… “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23.24).
