A Journey of Faith: The Story of WBJMinistries Online

A Journey of Faith: The Story of WBJMinistries Online

In the heart of New York City, WBJMinistries Online began as a small idea with a big purpose: to spread Yahusha’s word across the world. With a laptop and a vision, ordained Minister Wanda set out to create a virtual sanctuary where people could gather, no matter where they were, to hear messages of hope, faith, and love.

From the comfort of her home, ordained Minister Wanda started broadcasting weekly sermons online. She used social media, live streaming, and a dedicated website to reach out to anyone looking for spiritual guidance. Slowly but surely, people began to find the online ministry. They tuned in from different time zones, different countries, and different walks of life, all seeking the same thing — a connection to Yahusha and to each other.

The ministry grew, not just in numbers, but in spirit. There were prayer groups, Bible study sessions, and virtual fellowship meetings. WBJMinistries Online became a place of refuge for those who felt isolated or alone. It became a community for those who could not attend a traditional church due to distance, disability, or other challenges. It became a source of hope for many who were searching for meaning in a complex world.

One day, ordained Minister Wanda realized that to continue growing and reaching more people, the online ministry would need some support. The website needed updates, new equipment was necessary for better broadcasts, and more resources were required to expand their outreach efforts. But ordained Minister Wanda knew that Yahusha would provide, just as He always had.

During a Sunday online service ordained Minister Wanda spoke to the virtual congregation with a humble heart. "We have been blessed to reach so many souls through this online ministry," he said, his face glowing with gratitude. "But to continue this important work and expand our reach, we need your help. If WBJMinistries Online has touched your life in any way, we ask that you consider supporting us." She shared that those who felt called to give could make donations via Cash App at **$WBJMinistries.

Immediately, the community responded. Donations began to come in from near and far, each one a testament to the love and support people felt for the ministry. With these gifts, WBJMinistries Online was able to improve its technology, expand its services, and continue spreading Yahusha’s word to even more people around the world.

As the online ministry continued to thrive, it reminded everyone that even in the digital age, faith could build a strong, loving community. WBJMinistries Online remained a place where anyone could find hope, comfort, and a connection to Yahusha, proving that with faith and a little technology, there are no limits to what can be achieved.

It Will Be A Breeze

I've been really enjoying the summer breeze lately. It's so special to me that I haven't even felt the need to use the air conditioner. There's just something indescribably wonderful about the way the breeze feels. 

Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against central air conditioning; it's reliable and keeps the indoor environment at a consistent temperature. But there's just something magical about how a breeze can come out of nowhere and naturally cool everything down.

Because of my deep appreciation for the breeze, I've decided to do some research and study its unique qualities. Here's what I've found about the remarkable and organic characteristics of the summer breeze.

The concept of the "soul of the wind" is poetic and metaphorical, often used in literature and art to evoke a sense of mystery, freedom, and the unseen forces of nature. In various cultures and spiritual beliefs, wind can symbolize the spirit, breath, or life force, sometimes perceived as having its essence or "soul."

For example: Literature and Poetry: Writers and poets might use the phrase "soul of the wind" to describe the intangible and ever-changing nature of the wind, suggesting it has a life or spirit of its own that moves freely and affects the world in subtle ways.

Spiritual and Cultural Interpretations. In some spiritual traditions, the wind is seen as a manifestation of divine breath or spirit. For instance, in many Native American traditions, the wind is considered a living force, a messenger from the spirit world, or even a deity itself.
Philosophically, the "soul of the wind" can represent the unseen yet powerful forces that shape our lives and the world around us. It can be a metaphor for the human spirit's desire for freedom, change, and exploration.

Overall, the "soul of the wind" 
Is a powerful metaphor that can be interpreted in many ways depending on the context in which it is used and felt.

Guarding Your Heart Against Evil Plans- Happy Preparation Sabbath Day! Everyone 💜

Ezekiel 38:10 from the Halleluyah Scriptures can be a compelling verse to build a sermon around. Here's the verse from the Halleluyah Scriptures
Ezekiel 38:10 "Thus said the Master יהוה, 'And it shall be in that day that words arise in your heart, and you shall devise an evil plan." 

 The Importance of the Heart in Scripture. It discusses how the heart is often mentioned in the Scriptures as the seat of emotions, intentions, and thoughts.

  In Proverbs 4:23, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the sources of life." Which emphasizes the importance of guarding our hearts and minds from evil thoughts. 

The explanation of the context of Ezekiel 38, where YHWH is speaking to the prophet Ezekiel about Gog of Magog, a leader who will come against YHWH’s people. It talks about the prophecy and its implications for the end times, where nations will rise against Israel.

 The Heart's Inclination Towards Evil delves into Ezekiel 38:10, where it is said that words will arise in the heart, leading to the devising of an evil plan.
  It highlights that evil plans originate from the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

Connecting this to Yahusha’s teaching in Matthew 15:19, where He states that evil thoughts come from the heart. Spiritual Warfare -Battling Against Evil Plans. Examine spiritual warfare and the need for believers to protect themselves from evil influences.

   - Reference Ephesians 6:11-12, discussing the armor of YHWH and how it protects us from the devil's schemes.
   - Encourage the congregation to stay vigilant and to recognize when evil thoughts are taking root.
 Transforming the Heart.

 Seeking Purity and Righteousness exploring the importance of a transformed heart through the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit).
   - Refer to Tellihim (Psalm) 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."

Encourage believers to seek a pure heart and align their thoughts with YHWH's will.

Final thoughts: Call to Action. 
 Call the congregation to self-examination and repentance for any evil thoughts or plans that may have arisen in their hearts.

   I pray for you and I ask YHWH to guard our hearts and guide our thoughts to be in alignment with His word and purpose.

Say this Prayer:
Master יהוה, we come before You today acknowledging the power of our thoughts and the influence they can have on our actions. We ask You to guard our hearts against evil plans and to fill us with Your Ruach, leading us to righteousness. May we always seek Your will in all things and stay true to Your Word. In the name of Yahusha, we pray. Amen. 

WBJMinistries provides a comprehensive look at Ezekiel 38:10 and how it can be applied to our daily lives to guard our hearts against evil and align ourselves with YHWH's purpose.

Guarding Our Conduct and Honoring Yahuah -Lessons from Sirach 42

Guarding Our Conduct and Honoring Yahuah

Lessons from Sirach 42

Introduction:

Beloved congregation, today we will explore the timeless wisdom found in Sirach 42 from the Halleluyah Scriptures. This chapter offers profound insights into how we should conduct ourselves, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, discretion, and reverence for Yahuah in all aspects of our lives. 

As we dive into this scripture, let us open our hearts to the Ruach Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit), allowing His guidance to lead us to a deeper understanding of how to honor Yahuah in our daily lives. Guarding Our Speech and Actions. Sirach 42 begins by urging us to be cautious with our speech and actions.

 The scriptures warn us against unnecessary exposure of our personal lives and remind us of the importance of discretion, particularly in matters involving women and relationships. In verse 1, it is written: "Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby: 

Of the Torah of El Elyon and his covenant; and of judgment to justify the wicked; Of reckoning with thy partners and travelers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends." The passage teaches us to be mindful of what we say and do, ensuring that our words and actions are always in line with Yahuah’s Torah (Law). 

Our speech should build up and encourage others, reflecting the righteousness and love of Yahuah. We must avoid idle talk, gossip, and anything that could lead us or others into sin. Honoring Family and Community. Moving forward, Sirach 42 also guides our conduct within the family and community. 

Verses 9-14 focus on the relationships between parents and children, servants, and the broader community. Verse 11 states: "Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a by word in the city, and a reproach among the people.

And make thee ashamed before the multitude." These verses highlight the importance of maintaining order and discipline in our households and communities. As followers of Yahusha (Jesus), we are called to lead by example, showing love, respect, and integrity in all our interactions.

 We must be diligent in teaching our children the ways of Yahuah, guiding them in righteousness so that they grow up to be honorable men and women of faith. Avoiding Shame and Dishonor. The chapter also speaks about the importance of avoiding shame and dishonor. 

We are reminded that our actions not only reflect on ourselves but also on our families and, most importantly, on Yahuah. Verse 14 cautions: "Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, who brings shame and reproach." 

While these words may seem harsh, they serve as a powerful reminder that our conduct should always bring honor to Yahuah. As believers, we are ambassadors of Yahusha Ha'Mashiach (Jesus Christ), and our lives should be a testimony of His grace and truth. 

We must strive to live in a way that glorifies Yahuah, avoiding any actions that could bring shame or disrepute. Praising Yahuah's Wisdom and Creation. Finally, Sirach 42 ends with a beautiful praise of Yahuah's wisdom and creation.

 The author marvels at the greatness of Yahuah's works, acknowledging His infinite wisdom and power. Verse 15 states: "I will now remember the works of Yahuah and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of Yahuah are His works."

 The passage encourages us to reflect on the majesty of Yahuah's creation and His marvelous works. It reminds us that everything in heaven and earth is a testament to His greatness.

 As we consider the wonders of Yahuah's creation, let us be filled with awe and gratitude, recognizing that He is the source of all wisdom and understanding. In conclusion, Sirach 42 from the Halleluyah Scriptures provides us with valuable lessons on guarding our conduct and honoring Yahuah in all we do. 

Let us take these teachings to heart, striving to be people of integrity, wisdom, and reverence for Yahuah. May we be mindful of our speech and actions, honoring our families and communities, and living in a way that brings glory to Yahuah. 

As we go forth from this place, let us remember the words of Sirach and commit ourselves to living lives that reflect the love and righteousness of the Yahusha Ha'Mashiach. May Yahuah bless us and keep us in His perfect peace. HalleluYah! 

Prayer

Heavenly Father Yahuah, we thank You for Your Word and the wisdom it imparts. Help us to apply these teachings from Sirach 42 in our daily lives. Guide us to be mindful of our speech and actions, to honor our families and communities, and to live in a way that glorifies You. Fill us with Your Ruach Ha'Qodesh, that we may walk in Your truth and righteousness. In the name of Yahusha Ha'Mashiach, we pray. Amen.

Nurturing the Seed of Faith: A Journey of Spiritual Growth

 

motivational: WBJMinistries focused on spiritual growth:

**Embracing Growth Through Faith**

Greetings, beloved community of WBJMinistries.

Today, we gather to reflect on the journey of spiritual growth—a journey that, like the seedling that emerges from the soil, begins in humble beginnings and flourishes through nurturing faith and dedication.

In the book of Matthew 17:20, we are reminded of the power of faith as small as a mustard seed. Just as a tiny seed holds the potential to grow into a mighty tree, so too does our faith, no matter how small, hold the power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. 

Spiritual growth is not always immediate or easy. It requires patience, trust, and perseverance. Like a seedling that needs sunlight, water, and care to thrive, our spiritual journey needs the light of Elohim’s word, the nourishment of prayer, and the support of our community. Each step of growth may bring challenges, but it is through these challenges that our faith is strengthened and deepened.

Let us embrace our spiritual journey with the assurance that every effort, every moment of seeking, and every prayer is contributing to our growth. Remember, the path to spiritual maturity is not a race but a journey—a journey that brings us closer to Elohim and to the true essence of our being.

As we move forward, let us encourage one another, lift each other in prayer, and celebrate the growth we see within ourselves and each other. For in nurturing our faith and supporting each other, we are not just growing individually but as a unified body in Yahusha.

May Elohim bless each of us as we continue to grow in His grace and love.

So be it /Amen.

Voices of Unity The Singing Groups that Defined the 1970s

Today, during my subway ride, I had a touching encounter. A group of women and children dressed in beautiful Indian attire boarded the train, and later, another group of women joined them at a certain stop.

 Their joyful and open interaction with each other brought a smile to my face, reminding me of similar moments with my older sister and her friends. It felt like my sister was right there with me at that moment.

 Before this heartwarming encounter, I noticed two African American women on the train. One seems to be older than the other. Despite their presence, I sensed a lack of unity and camaraderie among the passengers. Rather than dwell on this, I chose to focus on spreading love and understanding.

 I believe that our society has evolved since the 1970s, presenting us with new challenges. However, I am confident that we can overcome these challenges as we have done in the past. The 1970s were a decade characterized by a variety of movements and cultural shifts that promoted unity and social change.

 Collective action across different segments of society.

 Here are some key aspects of unity in the 1970s. There was a strong push for racial equality, leading to greater unity among different racial and ethnic groups. This period also saw the rise of other movements, such as the Chicano Movement.

And Native American rights activism. Women's Rights Movement:Women united to fight for gender equality, which led to significant advancements in women's rights, including greater representation in the workplace, reproductive rights, and changes in laws regarding gender discrimination.

Growing awareness of environmental issues led to the first Earth Day in 1970. Anti-War and Peace Movements:The Vietnam War continued into the early 1970s, fueling widespread anti-war protests and calls for peace. 

LGBTQ+ Rights Movement: The 1970s also marked the early stages of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, following the Stonewall Riots of 1969. Activists began organizing more formally, seeking equal rights and social acceptance, which fostered a sense of unity within the community. 

Music and Cultural Movements: Music played a significant role in promoting unity during the 1970s. Genres like disco, rock, and soul often carried messages of peace, love, and unity. Several singing groups in the 1970s contributed to the era's sense of unity, often addressing themes of love and peace.

And social change, and cultural solidarity through their music. Here are some notable groups that were part of this movement:The Jackson 5 *The Supremes *Earth, Wind & Fire *The Bee Gees *The O'Jays *Sly and the Family Stone *The Carpenters *The Pointer Sisters *The Commodores *ABBA

Additionally, large music festivals and concerts became gathering places for people to come together and celebrate common values and interests. Global Solidarity Movements International solidarity movements gained traction during the 1970s, such as the global anti-apartheid movement.

 And support for various liberation struggles around the world. These movements brought people together across borders, united by a common cause for freedom and justice. The influential music groups of the 1970s played a significant role in promoting themes of love, peace, and social unity. 

From The Jackson 5 and Earth, Wind & Fire to The Bee Gees and ABBA, these artists used their powerful harmonies and diverse musical styles to transcend cultural and racial barriers, bringing people together through the universal language of music. 

Timeless hits not only defined the sound of the decade but also became anthems for collective action and togetherness. Overall, the 1970s were a time when diverse groups of people came together to advocate for social and political.

And cultural change, fostering a spirit of unity and collective action. 

Empowered to Serve: Walking in Faith and Unity with Yahusha

 

Acts chapter 6, we see the power of unity, service, and steadfast faith in the early Christian church. As WBJMinistries, we are called to embody these same values in our work, sharing Yahusha’s word and serving our community with love and dedication.

 Just as the apostles appointed the seven men full of the Spirit and wisdom to ensure no one was overlooked, we too must be committed to inclusivity, fairness, and serving all who come to us.

The story of Stephen, full of faith and the Holy Spirit, reminds us that even when faced with opposition and false accusations, we must stand firm in our convictions and trust in Yahusha. 

The shining countenance, like that of an angel, is a testament to the divine power that can be seen in us when we faithfully proclaim His truth. 

WBJMinistries, let us be inspired by Stephen’s example to be courageous, to serve with integrity, and to spread the good news of the Halleluyah Scriptures with boldness. 

Let us remember that in every challenge, Yahusha is with us, empowering us to make a difference in the lives of others. Together, we can build a community that reflects His love, grace, and truth.

 HalleluYah!

Ma`asei (Acts) 6:1-15 

[1] And in those days, when the taught ones were increasing, there arose a grumbling against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were overlooked in the daily serving. 

[2] So the twelve summoned the group of the taught ones and said, “It is not pleasing for us to leave the Word of Elohim and serve tables. 

[3] “Therefore, brothers, seek out from among you seven men who are known to be filled with the Set-apart Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint for this duty, [4] “but we shall give ourselves continually to prayer and to serving the Word. 

[5] And the word pleased the entire group. And they chose Stephanos, a man filled with belief and the Set-apart Spirit, and Philip, and Prochoros, and Nikanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nikolaos, a convert from Antioch, [6] whom they set before the emissaries. 

And when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. [7] And the Word of Elohim spread, and the number of the taught ones increased greatly in Yerushalayim, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the belief.

 

[8] And Stephanos, filled with belief and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. [9] But some of those of the so-called Congregation of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Kilikia and Asia), rose up, disputing with Stephanos, [10] but they were unable to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 

[11] Then they instigated men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Mosheh and Elohim.” [12] And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, so they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.

 [13] And they set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this set-apart place and the Torah, [14] for we have heard him saying that this יהושע of Natsareth shall overthrow this place and change the institutes which Mosheh delivered unto us.” 

[15] And all who sat in the council, looking steadily at him, saw his face was like the face of a heavenly messenger.

Yahusha's Triumph: Embrace the Freedom and Salvation

In Hebrews 2 in the HalleluYah Scriptures Yahusha calls us to carefully guard the Word delivered through Yahusha so that we do not neglect such a great deliverance.

 It highlights Yahusha's role in lowering Himself to our level, becoming fully human, so He could taste death for everyone. By doing so, He broke the power of the devil and freed us from the fear of death.

 Yahusha, our High Priest, made Himself like us, enduring suffering to help those being tried. 

The chapter encourages us to recognize the immense love and sacrifice Yahusha made to bring us into His family and to hold firm to our belief in Him.

Iḇ`rim (Hebrews) 2:1-18 

[1] Because of this we have to pay more attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away. [2] For if the word spoken through messengers proved to be firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a right reward, [3] how shall we escape if we neglect so great a deliverance, which first began to be spoken by the Master, and was confirmed to us by those that heard, 

[4] Elohim also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Set-apart Spirit, distributed according to His own desire? [5] For it is not to messengers that He has subjected the world to come, concerning which we speak. 

[6] But somewhere one has witnessed, saying, “What is man that You remember him, or the son of man that You look after him? [7] “You have made him a little lower than Elohim. You have crowned him with esteem and respect, and set him over the works of Your hands.

 [8] “You have put all in subjection under his feet.” For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left none that is not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see all subjected to him.

 [9] But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the messengers, יהושע, because of the suffering of death crowned with esteem and respect, that by the favour of Elohim He should taste death for everyone. 

[10] For it was fitting for Him, because of whom all are and through whom all are, in bringing many sons to esteem, to make the Prince of their deliverance perfect through sufferings.

 [11] For both He who sets apart and those who are being set apart are all of One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers, [12] saying, “I shall announce Your Name to My brothers, in the midst of the congregation I shall sing praise to You.”

 [13] And again, “I shall put My trust in Him.” And again, “See, I and the children whom Elohim gave Me.” 

[14] Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself similarly shared in the same, so that by means of His death He might destroy him having the power of death, that is, the devil, [15] and deliver those who throughout life were held in slavery by fear of death.

 [16] For, doubtless, He does not take hold of messengers, but He does take hold of the seed of Aḇraham. 

[17] So in every way He had to be made like His brothers, in order to become a compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in matters related to Elohim, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

 [18] For in what He had suffered, Himself being tried, He is able to help those who are tried.

The Way The Truth The Life A Reflection on John 14 with WBJMinistries

In the Halleluyah Scriptures, John 14 stands as a beacon of hope and assurance. Yahusha, knowing the trials and tribulations His talmidim (disciples) would soon face, offers words of profound comfort and eternal promise.

The challenges of life can often cloud our faith, but here, I am reminded to trust in Elohim with unwavering belief. Yahusha is our refuge, and in Him, we find peace beyond understanding.

He is not leaving us alone; rather, He is preparing a place where we will dwell with Him forever. Our earthly struggles are temporary, and our true home is with Yahusha.

At WBJMinistries, we hold fast to this truth, knowing that in Yahusha, we find our purpose and direction.

Love for Yahusha is demonstrated through obedience. To love Yahusha is to live according to His teachings and commandments. 

Our ministry is committed to following His ways, spreading His word, and living out His commands in our daily lives. In John 14, Yahusha not only comforts nevertheless also prepares His followers for the journey ahead. He promises the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (Holy Spirit) as our Helper and Comforter.

 Guiding us in truth and empowering us to live out His will. At WBJMinistries, we embrace this chapter as a cornerstone of our faith, standing firm in the promises of Yahusha. reflect on these verses as a reminder of the comfort and assurance we have in Yahusha. May it inspire and uplift you in your spiritual journey with WBJMinistries.

HalleluYah!

Yoḥanan (John) 14:1-31 

[1] “Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Elohim, believe also in Me. [2] “In My Father’s house are many staying places. And if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 [3] “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you might be too.

[4] “And where I go you know, and the way you know.

 [5] T’oma said to Him, “Master, we do not know where You are going, and how are we able to know the way?” [6] יהושע said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. [7] If you had known Me, you would have known My Father too.

 From now on you know Him, and have seen. [8] Philip said to Him, “Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” [9] יהושע said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you have not known Me, Philip? 

He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, ‘Show us the Father’? [10] “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father who stays in Me does His works. 

[11] “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, otherwise believe Me because of the works themselves. [12] Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father. 

[13] “And whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son. [14] “If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it. [15] “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.

 [16] “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever – [17] the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.

 [18] “I shall not leave you orphans – I am coming to you. [19] “Yet a little while, and the world no longer sees Me, but you shall see Me, because I live, and you shall live. [20] “In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

 [21] “He who possesses My commands and guards them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and manifest Myself to him.”

 [22] Yehuḏah – not the one from Qerioth – said to Him, “Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” 

[23] יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. [24] “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me. 

[25] “These Words I have spoken to you while still with you. [26] “But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you. [27] “Peace I leave with you – My peace I give to you. 

I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. [28] “You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you did love Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

 [29] “And now I have told you before it takes place, that when it does take place, you shall believe. [30] “I shall no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he possesses none at all in Me, [31] but, in order for the world to know that I love the Father.

And that as the Father commanded Me, so I am doing. Rise up, let us go from here.

Faith Beyond Sight: Embracing Yahusha’s Victory

Yoḥanan (John) 20:1-31 

John 20 in the Halleluyah Scriptures recounts the resurrection of Yahusha. Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and informs the disciples. 

Peter and another disciple run to the tomb, finding only the burial linens. Mary encounters two angels and then Yahusha, whom she initially mistakes for a gardener. 

Yahusha reveals Himself to her and instructs her to tell the disciples.

Later, Yahusha appears to the disciples, offering them peace and showing His wounds. Thomas, who wasn't present, doubts the resurrection until Yahusha appears again and invites him to touch His wounds.

 Thomas believes, declaring Yahusha as "My Master and my Elohim." Yahusha blesses those who believe without seeing.

This chapter emphasizes the triumph of Yahusha over death, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the importance of faith. 

WBJMinistries can draw inspiration from this chapter to encourage believers to trust in Yahusha's resurrection and spread the message of salvation, focusing on the blessing of believing in His word and His victory over death.

[1] And on day one of the week Miryam from Maḡdala came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. [2] So she ran and came to Shim‛on Kĕpha, and to the other taught one whom יהושע loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they laid Him.” [3] Then Kĕpha and the other taught one went out, and they were going to the tomb, [4] and the two were running together, but the other taught one outran Kĕpha and came to the tomb first. [5] And stooping down he saw the linen wrappings lying, but he did not go in. [6] Then Shim‛on Kĕpha came, following him, and went into the tomb. And he saw the linen wrappings lying, [7] and the cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself. [8] So, then, the other taught one, who came to the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed. [9] For they did not yet know the Scripture, that He has to rise again from the dead. [10] Therefore the taught ones went away again, by themselves. [11] But Miryam was standing outside by the tomb weeping. Then as she wept, she stooped down to the tomb, [12] and saw two messengers in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of יהושע had been laid. [13] And they said to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She said to them, “Because they took away my Master, and I do not know where they laid Him.” [14] And having said this, she turned around and saw יהושע standing, but she did not know that it was יהושע. [15] יהושע said to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said to Him, “Master, if You have carried Him away, say to me where You put Him, and I shall take Him away.” [16] יהושע said to her, “Miryam!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). [17] יהושע said to her, “Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim.’ ” [18] Miryam from Maḡdala came announcing to the taught ones that she had seen the Master, and that He had told her this. [19] When therefore it was evening on that day, day one of the week, and when the doors were shut where the taught ones met, for fear of the Yehuḏim, יהושע came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace to you.” [20] And having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The taught ones therefore rejoiced when they saw the Master. [21] Then יהושע said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” [22] And having said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Set-apart Spirit. [23] If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained. [24] But T’oma, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when יהושע came, [25] so the other taught ones said to him, “We have seen the Master.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the imprint of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I shall by no means believe.” [26] And after eight days His taught ones were again inside, and T’oma with them. יהושע came, the doors having been shut, and He stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” [27] Then He said to T’oma, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hand and put it into My side – and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” [28] And T’oma answered and said to Him, “My Master and my Elohim!” [29] יהושע said to him, “T’oma, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” [30] There were indeed many other signs that יהושע did in the presence of His taught ones, which are not written in this book, [31] but these have been written so that you believe that יהושע is the Messiah, the Son of Elohim, and that, believing, you might possess life in His Name.

Empowered by Faith: Embracing the Truth of Yahusha

Romans 1 in the HalleluYah Scriptures begins with Sha’ul (Paul) introducing himself as a servant of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, called to be a shaliach (apostle) and set apart to proclaim the Besorah (Good News) of Elohim. 

He emphasizes that this Besorah is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yahudi (Jew) first and also to the Greek. 

The chapter also addresses how the wrath of Elohim is revealed against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth, as they fail to honor Elohim, leading to their minds and hearts becoming darkened and filled with all manner of unrighteousness.

Romiyim (Romans) 1:1-32 

[1] Sha’ul, a servant of יהושע Messiah, a called emissary, separated to the Good News of Elohim, [2] which He promised before through His prophets in the Set-apart Scriptures, [3] concerning His Son, who came of the seed of Dawiḏ according to the flesh, [4] who was designated Son of Elohim with power, according to the Set-apart Spirit, by the resurrection from the dead: יהושע Messiah, the Master of us, [5] through whom we have received favour and office of the emissary for belief-obedience among all the nations on behalf of His Name,

[6] among whom you also are the called ones of יהושע Messiah. [7] To all who are in Rome, beloved of Elohim, called, set-apart ones: Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah. [8] First, I truly thank my Elohim through יהושע Messiah for you all, that your belief is spoken of in all the world. [9] For Elohim is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Good News of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, [10] always asking in my prayers, if at all possible, I shall be blessed by the desire of Elohim, to come to you. [11] For I long to see you, so as to impart some spiritual gift to you, for you to be established, [12] and that is, to be encouraged together among you, each by the other’s belief – both yours and mine. [13] And I do not wish you to be unaware, brothers, that I often purposed to come to you, but was hindered until now, in order to have some fruit among you, as also among the other nations. [14] I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to foolish. [15] That is why I am so eager to bring the Good News also to you who are in Rome. [16] For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Messiah, for it is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yehuḏi first and also to the Greek. [17] For in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from belief to belief, as it has been written, “But the righteous shall live by belief.” [18] For the wrath of Elohim is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, [19] because that which is known of Elohim is manifest among them, for Elohim has manifested it to them. [20] For since the creation of the world His invisible qualities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power and Mightiness, for them to be without excuse, [21] because, although they knew Elohim, they did not esteem Him as Elohim, nor gave thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools, [23] and changed the esteem of the incorruptible Elohim into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and of four-footed beasts and of reptiles. [24] Therefore Elohim gave them up to uncleanness in the lust of their hearts, to disrespect their bodies among themselves, [25] who changed the truth of Elohim into the falsehood, and worshipped and served what was created rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amĕn. [26] Because of this Elohim gave them over to degrading passions. For even their women exchanged natural relations for what is against nature, [27] and likewise, the men also, having left natural relations with woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing indecency, and receiving back the reward which was due for their straying. [28] And even as they did not think it worthwhile to possess the knowledge of Elohim, Elohim gave them over to a worthless mind, to do what is improper, [29] having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoring, wickedness, greed, evil; filled with envy, murder, fighting, deceit, evil habits; whisperers, [30] slanderers, haters of Elohim, insolent, proud, boasters, devisers of evils, disobedient to parents, [31] without discernment, covenant breakers, unloving, unforgiving, ruthless; [32] who, though they know the righteousness of Elohim, that those who practise such deserve death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practise them.

Chicago -The City That Fights Back

It appears that some Democratic voters have been misinformed about the positive impact of the Democratic Party. Some have been influenced by fear rather than common sense. Many of us have researched the history of our ancestors' affiliation with the Democratic Party and its significance to them.

While I share in the disappointment about the lack of progress for African Americans, it's disheartening that some of us are choosing not to vote. While we strive for progress, there is opposition that is determined to reverse it.

Our connection with the Democratic Party runs deep, and as in any relationship, there are both positives and negatives. We are not people who give up easily – we persevere. Despite the appeal of Trump's campaign promises, it's not the right direction for our future. We need to move forward with innovation and improvement, not regress to benefit the wealthy.

We have the strength and determination to overcome challenges. Let's keep pushing forward with optimism and resilience. Trump is not our best option.

Chicago experienced its lowest crime rates, particularly in terms of violent crime, during the early to mid-2010s. The city saw a significant decline in homicides and other violent crimes during this period, reaching some of its lowest levels in decades. 

For example, in 2014, Chicago reported one of its lowest homicide counts in nearly 50 years, with 426 homicides. This period of relative calm was part of a broader national trend of declining crime rates across major U.S. cities. Community Policing: 

The Chicago Police Department increased its focus on community policing, which involved building relationships between officers and residents to improve trust and cooperation.

Violence Prevention Programs: Initiatives like the Chicago Violence Reduction Strategy and Cure Violence aimed to intervene with high-risk individuals and reduce retaliatory violence.

Gun Control Measures: There were efforts to strengthen local gun control laws and enhance enforcement to prevent illegal gun trafficking and reduce gun violence.

Data-Driven Policing: The use of crime data and predictive policing tools, such as the "CompStat" system, helped law enforcement allocate resources more effectively and respond to emerging crime trends.Youth Programs and Social Services:

 Investment in programs targeting at-risk youth and providing social services aimed to address the root causes of violence, such as poverty and lack of educational opportunities. 

The implementation of many of these programs in Chicago during the early to mid-2010s involved both Democratic and Republican officials, but the primary leadership came from Democratic figures:

1. **Community Policing**: This approach was supported by the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat, who served as Chicago's mayor from 2011 to 2019.

2. **Violence Prevention Programs**: Programs like Cure Violence were supported by the city administration under Mayor Emanuel, as well as by various local organizations and advocates.

3. **Gun Control Measures**: Local gun control efforts were led by the city government, with support from Democratic leaders, including the Mayor and the Chicago City Council.

4. **Data-Driven Policing**: The use of data-driven approaches was implemented by the Chicago Police Department under the leadership of police superintendents appointed by the Democratic mayor.

5. **Youth Programs and Social Services**: Investment in youth programs and social services was also a priority under the Democratic administration of Mayor Emanuel.

At the federal level, the Obama administration, which was Democratic, supported various crime reduction initiatives and grant programs that could impact local efforts, though the direct implementation was primarily a local responsibility.

Rooted in Trust: A Journey Through Jeremiah 17

Scriptures teaches us the importance of placing our trust in Elohim rather than in human strength or worldly systems. When we root our lives in the yahusha, we are like a tree planted by water, flourishing even in difficult times.

In this chapter we are reminded that our hearts can be deceitful, but by trusting in Elohim and seeking His guidance, we find true stability, peace, and blessings. It encourages us to rely on Yahusha's wisdom, rest in His presence, and remain steadfast in faith, knowing that He will sustain and nurture us through all seasons of life.

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 17:1-27

[1] The sin of Yehuḏah is written with a pen of iron, engraved with the point of a diamond on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your slaughter-places, [2] while their children remember their slaughter-places and their Ashĕrim by the spreading trees on the high hills. [3] “My mountain in the field, I give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures, your high places of sin, throughout all your borders.

[4] “And you, even of yourself, shall let go of your inheritance which I gave you. And I shall make you serve your enemies in a land which you have not known, for you have kindled a fire in My displeasure which burns forever.” [5] Thus said יהוה, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from יהוה. [6] “For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that is not inhabited. [7] “Blessed is the man who trusts in יהוה, and whose trust is יהוה. [8] “For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit. [9] “The heart is crooked above all, and desperately sick – who shall know it? [10] “I, יהוה, search the heart, I try the kidneys, and give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds. [11] “As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, so is he who gets riches, but not by right. It leaves him in the midst of his days, and at his end he is a fool.” [12] An esteemed throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our set-apart place. [13] O יהוה, the expectation of Yisra’ĕl, all who forsake You are put to shame. “Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken יהוה, the fountain of living waters.” [14] Heal me, O יהוה, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I am saved, for You are my praise. [15] See, they say to me, “Where is the word of יהוה? Let it come now!” [16] And I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows You, nor have I longed for the desperately sick day. You Yourself have known, that which came out of my lips was before You. [17] Do not be a ruin to me, You are my shelter in the day of evil. [18] Let these who persecute me be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be broken, but do not let me be broken. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction! [19] Thus יהוה said to me, “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the sovereigns of Yehuḏah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Yerushalayim. [20] “And you shall say to them, ‘Hear the word of יהוה, you sovereigns of Yehuḏah, and all Yehuḏah, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, who enter by these gates. [21] Thus said יהוה, “Guard yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Yerushalayim, [22] nor take a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work. And you shall set apart the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. [23] “But they did not obey, or incline their ear, and they made their neck stiff not to hear and not to receive instruction. [24] “And it shall be, if you diligently obey Me,” declares יהוה, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and set apart the Sabbath day, to do no work in it, [25] then sovereigns and heads sitting on the throne of Dawiḏ shall enter in through the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their heads – the men of Yehuḏah and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And this city shall be inhabited forever. [26] “And they shall come from the cities of Yehuḏah and from the places around Yerushalayim, and from the land of Binyamin and from the low country, from the mountains and from the South, bringing ascending offerings and slaughterings, grain offerings and incense, bringing offerings of praise to the House of יהוה. [27] “But if you do not obey Me to set apart the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden when entering the gates of Yerushalayim on the Sabbath day, then I shall kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall consume the palaces of Yerushalayim, and not be quenched.

Embracing The Struggle

The law can guide us, teach us, and convict us, but it cannot empower us to live in accordance with it. This realization is both humbling and liberating. Humbling because it strips away any illusion of self-sufficiency, and liberating because it opens the door to divine intervention.

 The seventh chapter of Romans is a profound passage that delves into the tension between our spiritual aspirations and our human weaknesses. Everyone, if asked, could probably recount a story that provides a deeply personal and relatable account of the struggle between the desire to do good and the reality of falling short. 

This chapter in the scriptures speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt torn between their higher calling and the pull of their old ways. It isn't just about struggle—it's about hope, perseverance, and the transformative power of grace. The Struggle is Real! You have to begin by acknowledging the law's role in revealing sin. 

The law is holy, just, and good, serving as a mirror to reflect our true nature. However, it also highlights our incapacity to fulfill it perfectly. It can be candidly expressed in frustration: "For I do not understand my actions." Who hasn't been there?

"For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate." It resonates deeply because it captures the essence of the human experience. We all have moments where our actions do not align with our intentions. It's crucial to recognize that this struggle isn't a sign of failure.

It's evidence of a conscience attuned to Yahusha's will. The fact that we feel the tension means we're on the right path. The more we grow spiritually, the more we become aware of the gap between where we are and where we want to be.

  Awareness is not meant to lead us to despair but to drive us toward a greater reliance on Elohim's grace.

Inner conflict is evidence of the new life within us, fighting against the remnants of the old. 

The very fact that we feel the tension between right and wrong is proof that Elohim's Spirit is at work within us. Every time we choose to resist temptation, even if we stumble, we're engaging in this spiritual battle. And every victory, no matter how small, is a step toward becoming more like Yahusha.

My cry is not just mine—it echoes the cry of every believer who has ever felt overwhelmed by their shortcomings. It's a cry for deliverance, for freedom from the cycle of sin and guilt.

 It's also a cry that leads to the ultimate answer of acknowledgment that deliverance does not come from within us but from outside of us. It comes through Yahusha. 

He is the one who has fulfilled the law perfectly and has defeated the power of sin and death. In Him, we find the strength to overcome our weaknesses. In Him, we find the grace to rise every time we fall.

There's grace in the struggle:

So, let us embrace the struggle, knowing that it is shaping us into the people Elohim has called us to be. Let us not be discouraged by our failures, but let us see them as opportunities to experience more of Yahusha's grace. 

And let us always remember that our hope is not in our ability to overcome, but in the One who has already overcome on our behalf. This message is not one of despair but of hope. Yes, we struggle. Yes, we fall short. But the struggle itself is part of our sanctification process. 

It's through this struggle that we learn to rely not on ourselves but on Yahusha. And it's in this reliance that we find true freedom. The grace of God is not just a safety net for when we fail; it's the power that enables us to stand and fight.

I am reminded that perfection is not the prerequisite for Elohim's love—His love is the driving force that empowers us to pursue holiness. Each time we turn to Him in our weakness, we are met with His strength.

 Each time we confess our failures, we are met with His forgiveness. And each time we cry out for deliverance, we are met with His salvation.

The dream of Palestine as a separate, sovereign state represents the enduring hope for self-determination, justice, and peace. Despite the challenges and struggles, the pursuit of statehood is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Palestinian people.

 It embodies the universal right to freedom, identity, and the power to shape one’s own future. This vision of an independent Palestine is not just a political goal, but a beacon of hope for all who believe in the principles of equality, dignity, and the possibility of a just and lasting peace in the region.

I don't believe anyone wants to fight with Israel. It doesn't have to be the way that it is right now.

The same goes for Ukraine, only Russia's motives don't seem to be as noble as Israel's.

The vision of Ukraine as a free and independent state is a powerful testament to the courage, resilience, and determination of its people. Despite facing immense challenges and external pressures.

Ukraine's fight for sovereignty embodies the universal struggle for self-determination and the right to live in peace and dignity. This pursuit is not just about territorial integrity but about preserving a unique culture and the democratic values that its people hold dear. 

The dream of a strong, sovereign Ukraine serves as an inspiration to all who believe in freedom and the indomitable spirit of a nation united in hope and resolve.Romiyim (Romans) 7:1-25 

[1] Or do you not know, brothers – for I speak to those knowing the Torah – that the Torah rules over a man as long as he lives? [2] For the married woman has been bound by Torah to the living husband, but if the husband dies, she is released from the Torah concerning her husband. [3] So then, while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she becomes another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah, so that she is not an adulteress, having become another man’s. [4] So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim. [5] For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, through the Torah, were working in our members to bear fruit to death. [6] But now we have been released from the Torah, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in newness of Spirit and not in oldness of letter. [7] What, then, shall we say? Is the Torah sin? Let it not be! However, I did not know sin except through the Torah. For also the covetousness I knew not if the Torah had not said, “You shall not covet.” [8] But sin, having taken the occasion through the command, did work in me all sorts of covetousness. For apart from Torah sin is dead. [9] And I was alive apart from the Torah once, but when the command came, the sin revived, and I died. [10] And the command which was to result in life, this I found to result in death. [11] For sin, having taken the occasion through the command, deceived me, and through it killed me. [12] So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous, and good. [13] Therefore, has that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But the sin, that sin might be manifest, was working death in me through what is good, so that sin through the command might become an exceedingly great sinner. [14] For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin. [15] For what I work, I know not. For what I wish, that I do not practise, but what I hate, that I do. [16] But if I do what I do not wish, I agree with the Torah that it is good. [17] And now, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me. [18] For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to work the good I do not find. [19] For the good that I wish to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not wish to do, this I practise. [20] And if I do that which I do not wish, it is no longer I who work it, but the sin dwelling in me. [21] I find therefore this law, that when I wish to do the good, that the evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the Torah of Elohim according to the inward man, [23] but I see another torah in my members, battling against the torah of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the torah of sin which is in my members. [24] Wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this body of death? [25] Thanks to Elohim, through יהושע Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself truly serve the Torah of Elohim, but with the flesh the torah of sin.

Political Tactics -Happy Sabbath Day! 💜

Life is a journey filled with challenges, both external and internal. The struggles we face often come not just from the outside world but from within us. 

These internal battles, the ones we fight against our fears, doubts, and temptations, are what truly define us. In many traditions, these challenges are personified as demons—dark forces that seek to derail us from our path. 

In this metaphorical sense, Satan represents the ultimate adversary—the embodiment of all that seeks to pull us away from our true potential. He is the voice of doubt that whispers in our ears when we’re about to take a bold step forward.

 He’s the fear that paralyzes us when we stand on the brink of greatness. But just as Satan is a symbol of opposition, he is also a symbol of what can be overcome. To conquer our demons, we must first recognize them. 

These demons might take many forms: the fear of failure, the lure of comfort and complacency, or the anger that consumes us. They may try to seduce us with the promise of an easier path or convince us that we are not strong enough to continue. But every time we resist.

 Every time we choose the harder right over the easier wrong, we weaken their grip on us. Writing about Satan and his demons in a motivational context is quite challenging, as these figures are traditionally associated with negativity, temptation, and evil in many religious and cultural narratives. 

 We can approach this topic from a metaphorical or allegorical perspective, focusing on overcoming inner demons, resisting temptation, and striving for personal growth despite challenges. In theology, Satan and his demons are often depicted as employing various schemes or tactics to deceive, tempt, and lead people away from Elohim. Here are some examples:

1. **Deception**: Satan is often described as a deceiver, twisting the truth or presenting lies in a way that seems appealing or convincing. For example, in the Garden of Eden, he deceived Eve by questioning Yahusha's command and suggesting that disobedience would lead to enlightenment (Genesis 3:1-5).

2. **Temptation**: Satan and his demons are believed to tempt individuals to sin. This can take the form of luring people into actions or thoughts that are contrary to Elohim's will, such as greed, lust, pride, or hatred. Jesus himself was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, but he resisted by quoting Scripture (Matthew 4:1-11).

3. **Accusation**: In the Bible, Satan is sometimes referred to as "the accuser" (Revelation 12:10). This refers to his role in accusing believers of their sins, attempting to make them feel unworthy of Elohim's love and forgiveness. This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and despair.

4. **Distraction**: One of Satan's subtle tactics is to distract people from their faith or spiritual growth. This can happen through busyness, materialism, or focusing excessively on worldly concerns, leading people to neglect their relationship with Elohim.

5. **Division**: Satan and his demons are often seen as working to sow discord and division, whether in families, communities, or congregations. This can lead to conflict, strife, and a weakening of unity and love among believers.

6. **Counterfeit Miracles and False Teachings**: The Bible warns that Satan can appear as an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), meaning that he can present false teachings, heresies, or counterfeit miracles that appear good or true but ultimately lead people away from the true faith.

7. **Oppression and Possession**: In some cases, demons are believed to oppress or even possess individuals, leading to spiritual, mental, or physical harm. This can manifest in various ways, such as deep-seated spiritual torment or destructive behaviors.

These schemes are seen as part of a broader spiritual warfare, where believers are encouraged to stay vigilant, grounded in their faith, and protected by the "armor of Elohim" (Ephesians 6:10-18) to resist such tactics.

The Power of Perseverance in the face of adversity, perseverance is your greatest weapon. The demons you face may be strong, but they are not invincible. With each step forward, no matter how small, you weaken their hold on you. 

Perseverance means continuing to move forward even when the path is dark and the obstacles seem insurmountable. Remember, every great achievement in history was accomplished by someone who refused to give up, even when the odds were against them. 

The same can be true for you. When you feel like giving up, remind yourself why you started. Focus on the end goal and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you didn’t let anything stop you. 

I want to inspire you to recognize and overcome the obstacles within yourself. The metaphors of Satan and demons are used to represent the internal struggles that everyone faces and the power we have to overcome them.

Guidance on Worship and the Yahusha's Supper.

Although he previously mentioned that woman was created from man (referring to Eve being created from Adam in Genesis), he now balances this by stating that men are born of women. This shows that neither gender is superior or independent of the other; they are mutually reliant.

 Interdependence is especially significant. In faith, the distinctions that might divide are meant to be viewed through the lens of mutual respect and unity under Elohim.

 Elohim is the Ultimate Source. 

While men and women are interdependent in creation and life, Elohim is the ultimate origin of all. This reinforces the idea that gender differences should not lead to division, as both men and women share a common origin and purpose in Elohim.

In summary, these verses highlight the mutual dependence between men and women, especially within believers community, and I remind the reader that Elohim is the source of all life and relationships.

Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 11:1-34 

[1] Become imitators of me, as I also am of Messiah. [2] And I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in every way and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. [3] And I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is Elohim. [4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, brings shame to his Head. [5] And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered brings shame to her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. [6] For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. [7] For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of Elohim, but woman is the esteem of man. [8] For man is not from woman, but woman from man. [9] For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. [10] Because of this the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the messengers. [11] However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master. [12] For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim. [13] Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to Elohim with her head uncovered? [14] Does not nature itself teach you that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a disrespect to him? [15] And if a woman has long hair, it is an esteem to her, because the long hair has been given to her over against a veil. [16] If, however, anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a habit, nor do the assemblies of Elohim. [17] And in declaring this I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. [18] For in the first place, I hear that when you come together as an assembly, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. [19] For there have to be factions even among you, so that the approved ones might be revealed among you. [20] So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper. [21] For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk. [22] Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! [23] For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread, [24] and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” [25] In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me.” [26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes. [27] So that whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master. [28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. [29] For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Master. [30] Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. [31] For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged. [32] But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world. [33] So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. [34] And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.

Walking in Integrity Embracing the Path of Divine Favor

‭In life, we are often faced with challenges that test our character and our commitment to what is right. Psalm 26 serves as a powerful reminder that integrity is not just a goal but a way of life that brings us closer to the Almighty and aligns us with His purposes. 

A reminder that when we walk in integrity, we can confidently trust Yahusha to be our defender. We don’t have to worry about the judgment of others when we know that we are living in a way that pleases Elohim. 

Trust is the foundation of integrity—trust in Yahusha’s justice, in His timing, and in His unfailing love. This may seem daunting, but it is through testing that our character is strengthened.

 Challenges and trials are not meant to break us, but to build us up, refine our hearts, and deepen our relationship with Elohim. When we embrace Yahusha's testing, we open ourselves to growth and transformation. 

We can be assured that Elohim’s testing is always for our good, to mold us into the people He created us to be. Our environment and the company we keep have a profound impact on our lives. By choosing to distance ourselves from negative influences. 

 We protect our integrity and keep our hearts aligned with Elohim’s will. Surround yourself with those who uplift, encourage, and challenge you to be your best self, and you will find strength to continue walking in righteousness. A life of integrity is marked by worship and gratitude. 

When we focus on God’s goodness and faithfulness, our hearts are filled with joy, and we are reminded of our purpose. Worship keeps us centered on what truly matters and helps us navigate life’s ups and downs with a spirit of thankfulness. 

As you go through your day, let this psalm inspire you to stand firm in your commitment to integrity, knowing that Elohim is with you every step of the way, guiding you, protecting you, and blessing your journey. His mercy is our assurance that, even when we stumble.

 He is there to lift us up and set us back on the right path. In a world full of temptations and challenges, Yahusha is our refuge and strength. By seeking His protection, we ensure that our lives are safeguarded from the influence of sin and that we remain on the path of righteousness.

Tehillim (Psalms) 26:1-12 

[1] Rule me rightly, O יהוה, For I have walked in my integrity. And I have trusted in יהוה, without wavering. [2] Examine me, O יהוה, and prove me; Try my kidneys and my heart. [3] For Your loving-commitment is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. [4] I have not sat with men of falsehood, Nor do I enter with pretenders. [5] I have hated the assembly of evil-doers, And I do not sit with the wrong. [6] I wash my hands in innocence; And I walk around Your slaughter-place, O יהוה, [7] To raise a voice of thanksgiving, And to declare all Your wonders. [8] יהוה, I have loved the abode of Your house, And the place where Your esteem dwells. [9] Do not gather my being together with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men, [10] In whose hands is a plot, And their right hand is filled with bribes. [11] But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Redeem me and show me favour. [12] My foot shall stand on a level place; In the assemblies I bless יהוה.

The Judgment and Triumph of the Faithful

Ḥazon (Revelation) 14:1-20 

[1] And I looked and saw a Lamb standing on Mount Tsiyon, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s Name written upon their foreheads. [2] And I heard a voice out of the heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder, and I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. [3] And they sang a renewed song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.

[4] They are those who were not defiled with women, for they are maidens. They are those following the Lamb wherever He leads them on. They were redeemed from among men, being first-fruits to Elohim and to the Lamb. [5] And in their mouth was found no falsehood, for they are blameless before the throne of Elohim. [6] And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, holding the everlasting Good News to announce to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, [7] saying with a loud voice, “Fear Elohim and give esteem to Him, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship Him who made the heaven and the earth, and sea, and fountains of water.” [8] And another messenger followed, saying, “Baḇel is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her whoring.” [9] And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his forehead or upon his hand, [10] he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tortured with fire and sulphur before the set-apart messengers and before the Lamb. [11] “And the smoke of their torture goes up forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night, those worshipping the beast and his image, also if anyone receives the mark of his name.” [12] Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of יהושע. [13] And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Master from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “in order that they rest from their labours, and their works follow with them.” [14] And I looked and saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Aḏam, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. [15] And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place, crying with a loud voice to the One sitting on the cloud, “Send Your sickle and reap, because the hour has come for You to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.” [16] And the One sitting on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. [17] And another messenger came out of the Dwelling Place which is in the heaven, and he too held a sharp sickle. [18] And another messenger came out from the slaughter-place, having authority over the fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.” [19] And the messenger thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Elohim. [20] And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, for about one thousand six hundred stadia
