9.4.25 ~ Too Wonderful

Good morning!

We are in the 6th month on Yahweh's calendar, which should lead us to open up our hearts in the deepest way to love, repentance, intimacy and the hope for the greatest future.

We are following that time with the intimate moments of walking with the ‘King in the field’ during this month and we are preparing our hearts for Yom Teruah and Revelation 12. These upcoming days focus on intimacy collectively. The Bridegroom will continue to woo us and prepare our hearts for more covering.

It’s a time of wonder! It’s like the eagle in the sky, or the serpent on a rock, or a ship in the middle of the sea or like the way of a man with a young maiden (Prov. 30:18-19)…too wonderful!

Like the four wonderful examples in Proverbs 30, there is a goal with the Day of Coverings/Yom HaKippurim. An Eagle rides upon the currents of the wind to find food, but sometimes it just enjoys soaring on the rising thermal winds/ruach. The serpent will travel upon the rock to get its food, but often just sunbathes to thermoregulate its body temperature and provide energy to move forward. The ship in the middle of the sea has no bearing of land, but must rely upon the constellations to navigate through the night to its destination. The way of a man with a young maiden is just as beautiful and mysterious. How does he do it? With kind words or perhaps little tokens and gifts. He connects with her emotions to make her happy. He does so with the sole purpose of connecting with her heart! It’s not easy, but in time he finds ‘the favorable winds’ to soar on to make her happy (Deut. 24:5).

“When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken. (Deut. 24:5)

Sometimes there’s a lot of things that have to be worked through but in time she learns to relax and ‘bask in the warmth’ to enjoy something that feels good and energizes. There may be ‘dark times in the night’ that have to be navigated, but the lover is persistent and finds his way with her.

The eagle may appear to be only enjoying the ruach but is always looking for opportunities. Snakes appear to have a lot of wasted motion moving sideways, but actually they are always moving forward. Avoid the ‘serpent talk’ as the snake did with the woman in the garden. Ships often have to change their path because of inclement weather. Whether the woman is experiencing niddah/menstruation or at the height of fertility, hormones, like the weather, are always changing.

An eagle eye will always find ways to bring her joy. Physical contact is not always required for intimacy. Always engage the heart, for her best interest, and the intimacy wills soar.

These four examples of wonder are linked for a reason. These four are physical examples of how the Heavenly Father approaches us during this time of year. He understands our ‘hormones’. He understands the storms of life and the need for a change of course. He knows how to warm us appropriately and teach us to soar and He knows His way with us as His bride. It’s approaching the season of Yom Teruah, the day for remembering your covenant with Him at Mt. Sinai, Yom HaKippurim/Day of Atonements/coverings and Chag Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles, the wedding feast. It’s a wonderful time of awe and mystery. He’s ordained it that way to capture our hearts and long for intimacy beyond our wildest dreams.

As you keep moving towards this week's "date day", Shabbat, keep in mind the wonders of your relationship with Him and imitate those in your own covenant relationship with your 'honey bunny'.

Shalom,
Alan

Good morning! Have you ever considered the meaning of the 153 fish that were caught by Yeshua's disciples in John 21:4-12? You remember the story, right? It's the story many of us have experienced too often in our journey...we've been 'fishing' all night long and NOTHING. Then, with a listening ear, we grab our nets one more time, and with a mighty heave we throw the net in a different direction over the boat, and...my oh my, the boat's about to sink because there are so many fish in the net; yet the nets don't break. What a story! What a miracle! What 'fish finding vision Yeshua had'! What obedience; especially after doing it for so long 'my way'. What an enigma that Yeshua already had fish cooking on the shore when the boys arrived! What wisdom he displayed in His instructions to the boys! Am I listening, acting, and throwing in the right direction? Are my nets empty (Matt. 4:19)? Have you ever felt like you're outside the camp, isolate...

3.20.25

Good morning! Yesterday, we learned some essential truths about how to 'be still and know that He is God (Psa. 46:10). Today, I want to ask you a different question based on life's ability to throw a wide variety of circumstances at us!  One of the most difficult situations is when we are threatened by someone or some circumstance. Have you ever been threatened?  Oh, maybe no one came up to you with a gun, or shouted at you with malice, or told you that you were going to be tortured or punished.  Maybe all the threat you ever had was the innuendo of rejection, or the social snub or something much less violent than jail time.  But my guess is that if you are traveling the road with Yeshua, living a Torah lifestyle, you know what it means to be threatened. Every time the circumstances of your life look as though they are about to cave in, you are threatened.  It might not be a threat from a physical enemy, then again...but we all know that in one form or another t...

3.22.25

Good morning! Shabbat shalom! Although the portion of Vayakhel/and he assembled is almost entirely focused on the construction of the tabernacle, it begins by reminding the children of Israel that no work may be done on the Sabbath (Ex. 35:2,3). Why does it begin here rather than jumping right into how to construct the Tabernacle? Enquiring minds want to know :-) By placing the topic of the Sabbath against the construction of the Tabernacle it's God's way of defining the boundaries of the Sabbath...that even the most intimate work for the Lord needs to be put aside for His 'Date Day'. However, upon further investigation, there’s another layer to understand that connects us back to the golden calf (Ex. 32). As we know, while Moses was up on the mount getting the instructions from God the children of Israel decided to make an object that would replace Moses, their deliverer; The object, later known as the golden calf, originally intended as a 'necessary' means to ...
