Many us as the hearers and doers of God are used to Him speaking to our spirits or minds/hearts but there are many of the LORD’s children who believe that His voice will be audible. Instead of listening to that small still voice (better known as discernment of the Holy Spirit) it’s ignored because we are looking for something more. Hearing the voice of Yah is simple and peaceful, yet if we lean to our own understanding and do not allow Him to order our steps it will lead to confusion and chaos. Not taking heed to the Holy Spirit will give the enemy power that is dangerous to our very life/soul.
I have been able to give spiritual advice concerning this subject to many of the saints by suggesting to just be still. When we don’t know what to do it is better to do nothing and wait which can save us a lot of heartache and headaches. Although I can give this advice now, there was once a time when I was not as sensitive in my spirit enough to hear from our Father just as many of our brothers and sisters suffer with today. Meditating on the word of Yah, praising, praying and even fasting can help us “hear” from God. Going to church and congregating just isn’t enough in these last days, we simply need MORE!
John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Take time for yourself, read the word for yourself, ask/believe/receive and hear what the Most High is saying in this time of separation and preparation of His beloved children Israel. He is speaking to your heart today but it is up to you to stop, repent and listen to what His set-apart Spirit is saying because it may save you from being drowned with the cares of this world and set you free for the world/age to come. Until the next blog entry…be increased and consider where you are and where you are going.

1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God
blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose
up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten
thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand:
and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the
congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,
Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his
hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy
holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at
the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen
him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for
they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of
his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them
that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of
the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him
all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be
his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and
for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for
the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness
thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was
separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his
horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people
together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going
out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they
shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance
of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he
dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there,
in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with
Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap
from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with
favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and
the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children;
let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so
shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth
upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall
say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of
Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down
dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who
is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and
who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto
thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
your obedience is fulfilled.
FRUIT
Galatians 5:22-26 King James Version
(KJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
another, envying one another.
FLESH
Galatians 5:19-26 King James Version
(KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
ARMOUR
Ephesians 6:10-20 King James Version
(KJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the
power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I
may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may
speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Some of our favorite foods are forbidden by the laws of God. Most seafoods, pork and even certain birds and other beasts are unclean to biblical Israel and will be held against us if we choose to indulge in them. These verses are plain and clear on our dietary covenant…
Leviticus 11 King James Version (KJV)
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron,
saying unto them,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the
beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and
cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the
cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud,
but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not
the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not
the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be
clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to
you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye
not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters:
whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers,
them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in
the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in
the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not
eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
shall be an abomination unto you.
13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination
among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle,
and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind;
16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the
hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing,
and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an
abomination unto you.
21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that
goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the
earth;
22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind,
and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the
grasshopper after his kind.
23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the
carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall
wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and
is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that
toucheth them shall be unclean.
27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of
beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their
carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping
things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise
after his kind,
30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the
snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever
doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth
fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or
skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be
put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be
cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water
cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel
shall be unclean.
35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase
falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be
broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of
water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed
which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of
their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that
toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon
all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep
upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that
ye should be defiled thereby.
44 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore
sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye
defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
45 For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of
the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of
every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that
creepeth upon the earth:
47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean,
and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Many of us believe that grace over-rules law but that is an incorrect belief system which is usually taught in Christianity. Although Paul made the statement about being under grace (Romans 6:15), please understand that he was assuming that the law was already being kept/followed! No law = No grace and it’s that simple…The Most High is not the Author of confusion and His burden is light. We are to keep His commandments and in doing so, grace and mercy will be given to you. At the end of the day let us all humble ourselves to remember that man does not override our Father in Heaven regardless of their status (God gives and He takes away). Pay attention to who is teaching you because lawless people are dangerous people.

Psalm 23 (KJV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Matthew 9:13 (KJV)
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
2 Chronicles 30:9 (KJV)
9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and
your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that
they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is
gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return
unto him.
Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith
he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together
with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Isaiah 30:18 (KJV)

gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy
upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they
that wait for him.
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Psalm 51 (KJV)
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever
before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil
in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear
when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall
be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth
thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the
walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they
offer bullocks upon thine altar.
