10.18.25 ~ Knowing the Right Time

Good morning!

What a crazy week! Shabbat shalom!! I'm not sure about you (actually, I am sure), life can be chaotic and confusing. Darkness permeates the air so heavy you can actually feel it! What do I do when that is your reality? For me, personally, I went back to Genesis 1:2, 3 and reminded myself of the Spirit of God hovering/rachaphet and God speaking/vayomer.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved /rachaphet upon the face of the waters.  And God said/vayomer, Let there be light: and there was light. (Gen. 1:2,3)

What is the difference between when God spirit is hovering not directly interacting and not yet filling in the chaos direct light? Enquiring minds want to know :-)

 Hovering/rachaphet means he’s encompassing, surrounding and the only other place that the Torah attack uses the word hovering is when we talk about a mother bird that hovers over its Young in Deuteronomy 32:11, which is connected to what God did for us in bringing us to Himself on Eagle's wings; and what Yeshua desired to do towards Jerusalem on His way to the cross (Matt. 23:37).

As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: (Deut. 32:11)

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and you would not! (Matt. 23:37)

The hovering is a process of surrounding with love; It’s RACHAMIM/Compassion from God that protects, nourishes and embraces it’s related to the word RECHEM which means the womb, the place of nurture, protection and life. The place where a child, a fetus, develops in the womb of its mother in a safe environment. 

Did you notice that the word for compassion is the same in word as the womb? And what we see taking place in the opening chapter of Genesis is what is happening inside of a womb, the mother’s love surrounding its creation in the womb, until it's ready to receive divine words of light out from the chaos. 

This is what God’s spirit was doing when the Earth was still chaotic and unrefined. The reason it had to hover and not go directly in was because its light would’ve overwhelmed the creation. The world which is a vessel  of God's working was not capable yet of receiving God‘s direct light. But in verse three all of a sudden, God‘s direct light begins to Initiate a transition from chaos to complete rest.  

The Spirit is no longer hovering, but gets directly involved. In fact, as most believe and know, the universe was created through God’s speech, which means emanations. Emanations of God. Emanations in the form of vibration right through his words from the Creator source Into the universe. 

God sets the stage through perfect timing to move a chaotic and confusing domain into one of perfect shalom (Gen. 2;1-3). 

What is this to us people created in God‘s image (Gen. 1:26-28) and how should we approach and interact with others with the everyday world with our lives? Again, enquiring minds want to know :-)

First, through the Spirit inside you, create a sacred space of compassion, like a womb. Once this is established and you know that the person is ready to receive the emanations of your divine light in wisdom...notice in Genesis 1:3 the text uses the word "Let". Let is a word of permission. And with permission there needs to be a willingness to receive. Without the willingness to receive they won't be able to reflect those good words  of light in their lives.

So if the world you live in is troubled, if your homeland is troubled, if your tribe is being challenged, then hold those individuals in  sacred space. Give them good 'vibes' at the right time. Surround them with the light of mercy and compassion because they’re going through a little bit of chaos and they won’t be able to hear you right away. They won’t be able to receive your help or your intentions or your words of wisdom so when the moment comes, they’re in a position to receive the divine words that will start them on their journey to complete shalom!

Shabbat shalom!

4.10.25

Good morning! The offerings/korbanot were indeed a source of joy and favor every time they were brought to the Temple or Tabernacle. For instance, when the Temple was being dedicated under Solomon's kingship, they had this incredible feast. The nation feasted on these thanksgiving and peace offerings; 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats (2 Chron. 7:5; 1 King. 8:63) and the glory of the Lord, as with the Tabernacle in Exodus 40, filled the Temple (2 Chron. 7:2). There was great joy in the presence of the Lord! And we have this covenantal intimacy because the offerings/korbanot expressed love, joy, loyalty and gratitude.  Let me speak very briefly to one common objection, particularly in a modern sense. Yeah, OK, fine, but still weird! OK, Solomon's dedication doesn't seem consistent with blood and guts, splashing blood, limbs cut off and burning on an altar to appease an angry god for the sinful disobedience of mankind; it is so barbaric. It's disgusting. How could G...

9.24.25 ~ 10 Days of Too Wonderful

Good morning! A couple of weeks ago I had share with you some thoughts about four concepts in scripture that are too wonderful. With Yom Teruah/shouting-trumpets, Having finished we found ourselves in what I called the 10 days of awe. 10 days of deep introspection, like the days of unleavened bread, research our lives for any areas that are left undone so that when the sealing takes place at Yom Kippur we can launch into the feast of tabernacles and beyond pure and white. From Passover toShavuot, There is a wonderful focuson the book of Ruth. In times past, we haveexamined the importance of the faith-filled, grafted-in Gentile who would restore the heart of the ‘bitter’ Jewish woman Naomi and be the means of redemption through the birth of Obed. We followed that up by walking with the ‘King in the field’ during the Sixth month on God‘s prophetic calendarand we prepared our hearts for Yom Teruah and the sign of Revelation 12. Last night, I had the opportunity to celebrate with beautiful...

6.8.25 ~ Are You in the Know?

Good morning! Today, we will leave dear people here in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, after 8 great days of study, prayer, and health related instructions :-)! On this 8th day of counting towards the first fruit of the wine, we continue our journey on how to intimately abide in the True Vine (Jn. 15:1-8). This morning I want to share with you a very familiar verse in Hosea 4:6 to continue our theme. Over the years I have heard the first half of this verse quoted, but 99% of the time I have never heard the second half of the verse quoted. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge/da'at (1st part). Because you have rejected/maas knowledge/da'at, I also will reject/maas you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law/torah of your God, I will also forget you." (Hos. 4:6) How often have you heard this verse quoted in a plea for renewed diligence toward the things of God?  The quotation is usually followed by an enumeration of our lack of Bible study, chu...
