Signs of the times.

This is a teacher I really like and respect.

Dr. and *Rabbi Baruch Korman

This is part one of his teaching on Genesis chapter 7 about

Noah and God.

It's not your typical 2 by 2 teaching and it's 53 minutes long.

I believe it is worth every minute of your time if you choose to listen.

If you do - please listen to the end.

Shalom 

*Baruch Korman, a.k.a. Rabbi Baruch, is a PhD. in Greek and in the Septuagint. A Believer, he lives in Israel, speaks Hebrew fluently, and has teaching videos in English and in Hebrew. He teaches both topically and exegetically.

Which one are you?

So which one are you?

Are you someone who just gets wet when it rains?

or 

Are you that one special person who actually feels the rain drops as they splash down upon their face and smiles and dances around in the puddles?

Sometimes early in the morning before I get out of bed I will turn on my phone and go to my Bible application and look at the first Bible verse that pops up. 

It has nothing to do with what I'm studying.  Still, scripture verses can prove to be very poignant.

So I'm passing this little gem along in the hopes that it will bless someone as it did me.

As we know in the last days scripture talks of there being a great falling away, as well as a great gathering of new believers. Some referred to it as The third wave of the Ruach Hakodesh. 

The Great Rain of the Holy Spirit.

As we look around the world, read and hear first hand reports of the great multitudes of peoples coming to faith in Messiah and also receive reports as to what is happening on the other end of the spectrum, I personally believe,  the third wave has already begun.

Still, if we look here, in our world, around any one of us would most likely be able to admit to seeing a certain weariness, discouragement even, trying to set in among believers in Yeshua/Jesus. (Although this weariness, discouragement we see could be caused by a great many other issues, for the sake of this blog post I am specifically referring to the spiritual root cause.)

I'm sure we have all heard the question
if not asked the question ourselves at least once,

"Why not here Lord?"
 In reference to seeing and receiving the creative miracles of the Lord in our hometown and or country.

While this scripture that I am going to share doesn't necessarily answer that question -  it does bring encouragement that even through the spiritual drought  we can-yield spiritual fruit.

I pray it blesses you as it blessed me!

Jeremiah 17:7-8

"Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonai; Adonai will be his security.

He will be like a tree planted near water; it spreads out its roots by the river; it does not notice when heat comes; and its foliage is luxuriant; 

it is not anxious in a year of drought but keeps on yielding fruit."

Oh yeah! Did you figure out what the Ruach showed me?

Well, I already knew it. 
But it was really cool how the  Lord brought it all together in this scripture.

When I was discussing this scripture with the Lord, I asked  him what it meant. 
He said to me, speaking in general terms about the body of Messiah,

"It's all about you"

He was referring to revival. 

Referring to the next big wave of salvation. The next big wave of miracles. Revival is personal thing. It always starts with us first. Revival is a me thing. It starts in our hearts first.

 It's up to us and how we walk out Jeremiah 17 

"Adonai will be our security and we will be planted like a tree near water as our roots spread out by the river of living water we will not be anxious in the year of drought but we will keep on bearing much  fruit - spiritual fruit."

So let us then therefore not loose hope but encourage one another through psalms and hymns and be encouraged IN the LORD! For surely as the sun rises and sets HE is FAITHFUL and HE is coming soon!

And while we wait let us learn to love the rain and see it for the miracle that it is! For we may very well may be missing out on miracles every day just by the way we look at things.
💧💧  💧😏😲😊💧💧💧 So let the rain fall!

and

Remember to seek the Master's Face not just His hand

It's when we truly know the Lord that we come to trust Him

And that is when the Miracles follow us

Israel, O Israel

51

“Listen to me, you pursuers of justice,
you who seek Adonai:
consider the rock from which you were cut,
the quarry from which you were dug —
2 consider Avraham your father
and Sarah, who gave birth to you;
in that I called him when he was only one person,
then blessed him and made him many.
3 For Adonai will comfort Tziyon,
will comfort all her ruined places,
will make her desert like ‘Eden,
her ‘Aravah like the garden of Adonai.
Joy and gladness will be there,
thanksgiving and the sound of music.
4 “Pay attention to me, my people!
My nation, listen to me!
For Torah will go out from me;
I will calm them with my justice
as a light for the peoples.
5 My righteousness is at hand,
my salvation goes out,
my arms will judge the peoples.
The coast-lands are putting their hope in me,
trusting in my arm.

6 “Raise your eyes toward the skies,
look at the earth below.
The skies will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like clothing.
Those living on it will die like flies;
but my salvation will be forever,
and my justice will never end.

7 “Listen to me, you who know justice,
you people who have my Torah in your heart:
don’t be afraid of people’s taunts,
don’t be upset by their insults.
8 For the moth will eat them up like clothing,
the worm will eat them like wool;
but my justice will be forever,
and my salvation for all generations.”

9 Awake! Awake! Arm of Adonai,
clothe yourself with strength!
Awake, as in days of old,
as in ancient generations!
Wasn’t it you who hacked Rahav to pieces,
you who pierced the sea monster?*

10 Wasn’t it you who dried up the sea,
the waters of the great deep;
you who made the sea bottom a road
for the redeemed to cross?
11 Those ransomed by Adonai will return
and come with singing to Tziyon;
on their heads will be everlasting joy.
They will acquire gladness and joy,
while sorrow and sighing will flee.

12 “I, yes I, am the one who comforts you!
Why are you afraid of a man, who must die;
of a human being, who will wither like grass?
13 You have forgotten Adonai, your maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.
Instead, you are in constant fear all day
because of the oppressor’s rage,
as he prepares to destroy!
But where is the oppressor’s rage?
14 The captive will soon be set free;
he will not die and go down to Sh’ol;
on the contrary, his food supply will be secure.
15 For I am Adonai your God,
who stirs up the sea, who makes its waves roar —
Adonai-Tzva’ot is my name.
16 I have put my words in your mouth
and covered you with the shadow of my hand,
in order to plant the skies [anew],
lay the foundations of the earth [anew]
and say to Tziyon, ‘You are my people.’”

Isaiah 51 Complete Jewish Bible

Israel you are never forsaken!

STILL After ~ ALL These Years (In Memory of the Pittsburgh Massacre)

It's everywhere. Racial tension, prejudice, bigotry

 Will it every go away? 

Scripture tells us in the last days nation will rise against nation and kingdom will come against kingdom. * Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8

So, in answering my own question I will so  - NO, sadly, no.

But I will add, I will do my very best to love like the Master,
 (Yeshua Hamashiach) all nations and kingdoms.

Tapestry of God

By: Amy Colleen

  Separated, two worlds apart

I am here ~ You are there

An invisible wall keeps us at bay

Words of silence clearly say ~

“You stay there. I’ll stay here.”

So goes the forever cycle of fear

Separated, two worlds so much the same

Together we would have so much to gain

I try to break free ~ Reach for your side

With harsh words of contempt I collide

In my heart there is no wall

Built by our forefathers one stands ten feet tall

Separated, two worlds ~ God intended us as one

A masterpiece of artwork ~ A tapestry undone

I look down at my skin ~ I look at you

All around me I see skins of a different hue

So beautiful to me ~ this tapestry I see

I try once again to break free ~ bridge the gap between you and me

Separated, two worlds apart

I am here ~ You are there

An invisible wall keeps us at bay

Words of silence clearly say ~

What they will ~ to whoever will listen

I choose to break free and do my part to mend

Magnified and sanctified is the great name of God throughout the world, which was created according to Divine will. May the rule of peace be established speedily in our time, unto us and unto the entire household of Israel. And let us say: Amen.

May God’s great name be praised throughout all eternity. Glorified and celebrated, lauded and praised, acclaimed and honored, extolled and exalted ever be the name of thy Holy One, far beyond all song and psalm, beyond all hymns of glory which mortals can offer. And let us say: Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, with life’s goodness for us and for all thy people Israel. And let us say: Amen.

May the One who brings peace to the universe bring peace to us and to all the people Israel. And let us say: Amen.
