The Burning Bush

My name is Jason. I post mostly scripture,prayers for my fellow saints, along with my thoughts on scripture, and lessons and messages the Lord wants me to share.

[drjayr78]

Dayenu- It would have been enough. Everyday God blesses you with something and it would be enough, but then he does it again.

If He had taken us out of Egypt and not made judgements on them; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had made judgments on them and had not made [them] on their gods; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had made [them] on their gods and had not killed their firstborn; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had killed their firstborn and had not given us their money; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had given us their money and had not split the Sea for us; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had split the Sea for us and had not taken us through it on dry land; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had taken us through it on dry land and had not pushed down our enemies in [the Sea]; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had pushed down our enemies in [the Sea] and had not supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years and had not fed us the manna; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had fed us the manna and had not given us the Shabbat; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had given us the Shabbat and had not brought us close to Mount Sinai; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had brought us close to Mount Sinai and had not given us the Torah (Yeshua); [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had given us the Torah (Yeshua) and had not brought us into the land of Israel; [it would have been] enough for us.

If He had brought us into the land of Israel and had not built us the ‘Chosen House’ (The body of Yeshua) [the Temple; it would have been] enough for us.

The Glory of God in Shema.

““Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad.

To say that God is Echad (One) is to take a crown and place it on His head and announce His kingship over the Heavens above and below earth and the four corners of Heaven. This is why saying Shema in the morning and before you go to bed is important. Your accepting His kingship, His laws, His blood. This is the yoke that Yeshua says is light and not burdensome. Yet as followers of Yeshua we tell ourselves and others it can not be done. Yeshua has paid the price of death with His blood for not being able to uphold the law, so that we can be given mercy and grace to follow the laws with out death. There is no death from the law but only life. This is why Yeshua says:

“Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭TLV‬‬

““Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow is the gate and difficult the way that leads to life, and those who find it are few.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:13-14‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Let us remember Yeshua (Echad)is the written word (written law, Torah) made into flesh. It is through Yeshua (Torah) that we are created new. This is exactly what what Yeshua tells that the Holy Spirt (Torah) will be written on our hearts so that we will be one with God, a single body. Remember What Yeshua says

““If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper so He may be with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him. You know Him, because He abides with you and will be in you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-17‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Why can the world not receive the Spirit of truth? It because they refuse God’s Torah (Yeshua). They refuse to accept it(Him). They refuse to know it(Him). So there for they find death by the Torah (Yeshua). But you the believer who has faith and know it because you are one with it (Echad) will receive life. Adonai, Yeshua, the Holy Spirit is Echad (One). We were created by God through His Torah (Yeshua) so that His Torah (Holy Spirit) maybe carried by us a nation of priests. This is why Shema is important. It a announcement of faith that is full filled.

[drjayr78]

A lesson that believers need to learn:

The true tzadik (a person of righteousness) connects you to your God without ever standing in the way.

[drjayr78]

Because we don’t read the text for understanding we tend to miss what is in front of us.

“You are not to eat hametz with it. For seven days you are to eat matzot with it, the bread of affliction—for you came out from the land of Egypt in haste. Do this so that all the days of your life you will remember the day when you came out from the land of Egypt.”‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭16:3‬ ‭TLV‬‬

The understanding here is “the days of your life” is from the time that you received salvation from Egypt in this world. The addition of the word “all” refers to the time of the kingdom of the Messiah. Meaning that because you have a everlasting life through God you are to always remember the feast of unleavened bread for this was when you were brought out of bondage.

[drjayr78]

And Rabba bar Ḥinnana Sava said in the name of Rav: One who commits an act of transgression and is ashamed of it, all of his transgressions are forgiven. Shame is a sign that one truly despises his transgressions and that shame has the power to atone for his actions (Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto), as it is stated: “In order that you remember, and be embarrassed, and never open your mouth anymore, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done, said the Lord, God” (Ezekiel 16:63). Berakhot 12b:9

This is because Holy Spirit (Yeshua, the Laws, God) that is inside of you causing this shame and conflict within. It cause you to ask for forgiveness and mercy. It cause you to look at your transgressions with God’s eyes and not your own. That the shame is so great you return to Him for shalom, and mercy.

[drjayr78]

“Let my meditation be sweet to Him. I—I will rejoice in Adonai. Let sinners vanish from the earth and let the wicked be no more. Bless Adonai, O my soul. Halleluyah!”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104:34-35‬ ‭TLV‬‬

We must always do the opposite of what wicked people do to us. We must not seek vengeance toward them. We must not keep a hidden hate in our heart for them. Rather we should seek God in our daily meditation (prayer)not for justices to be found, but pray that God may have mercy on them, that they should repent, as if they repent, then the wicked will be no more, as they will have repented. So do as Yeshua said:

“But I tell you, do not resist an evildoer. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:39‬ ‭TLV‬‬

This is what it means to love your enemies.

[drjayr78]

“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:7‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Berakhot 6a

In another baraita it was taught that Abba Binyamin says: If the eye was given permission to see, no creature would be able to withstand the abundance and ubiquity of the demons and continue to live unaffected by them. 2

Similarly, Abaye said: They are more numerous than we are and they stand over us like mounds of earth surrounding a pit. 3

Rav Huna said: Each and every one of us has a thousand demons to his left and ten thousand to his right. God protects man from these demons, as it says in the verse: “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; they will not approach you” (Psalms 91:7). 4

Summarizing the effects of the demons, Rava said: The crowding at the kalla, the gatherings for Torah study during Elul and Adar, is from the demons;those knees that are fatigued even though one did not exert himself is from the demons; those clothes of the Sages that wear out, despite the fact that they do not engage in physical labor, is from friction with the demons; those feet that are in pain is from the demons. 5

I hold this to be truth. This why there is a vail or hedge around us to keep us from seeing these things. It will not only frighten us but extinguished our spark of faith. This why God tells us to not seek conversation with the dead. We must be vigilant of our own actions that can create negative energy. This the energy on which demons feed on. This part of the hidden midrash that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 12:43-46.

[drjayr78]

“Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!” Luke‬ ‭2:9-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Something most people don’t see with theses verses is that it was Yeshua (Jesus) that comes to the young shepherd and announces His birth not only to them but with all the glory of heavens court including all the generation of saints.

[drjayr78]

Always remember that if you are having problems praying to God, then go to the book of Psalms these are great prayers to recite.

Psalms 6:

This is an awe-inspiring prayer for one who is ill, to pray that God heal him, body and soul. An ailing person who offers this prayer devoutly and with a broken heart is assured that God will accept his prayer.

“For the music director, on the eight-string lyre, a psalm of David. Adonai, do not rebuke me in Your anger! Do not discipline me in Your wrath. Be gracious to me, Adonai, for I am weak. Heal me, Adonai— for my bones are shuddering with fear, as is my soul— and You, Adonai—how long? Turn toward me, Adonai, deliver my soul! Save me—because of Your mercy. For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You? I am worn out with my groaning. Every night I make my bed swim, drenching my pillow with my tears. My eyes are weakened with grief— they age because of my enemies. Away from me, all you evildoers! For Adonai heard the sound of my weeping. Adonai has heard my cry for mercy. Adonai accepts my prayer: “May all my enemies be ashamed, and stricken with terror. May they turn back in sudden disgrace.””

‭Psalms‬ ‭6:1-11‬ ‭TLV‬‬

[drjayr78]

I hope all my family in Yeshua (Jesus) have enjoyed the first day of Shavuot (Pentecost). May the next three days be filled with the written Torah and be bless with the Spiritual fire through the Rauch Kodash (Holy Spirit) that our ancestors received these next three days. May we continue to pray for our brother’s and sister’s (all of Israel)salvation. Over next few days let us ask ourselves who we are in Moshiach. Let’s ask the hard questions. Do we really know Him and does He know us.? Let us ask if our heart is truly broken for Him or is it for the world.?May you all be blessed this week.

[drjayr78]

Commandment 240 of the Law written by Moses, given to him by God.

"Do not lie to each other"—Leviticus 19:11.

It is forbidden to take a false oath in denial of a debt or any other financial obligation.

““You are not to steal. You are not to lie. You are not to deceive one another.”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭19:11‬ ‭TLV‬‬

Meaning you should love your neighbor. Commandment 240 of the written law is still valid according Jesus.

[drjayr78]

Oh Israel do not find sadness or fear in what Yeshua is doing in preparing His people. Do not become unnerved at the Edomites cheering and laughter because we look to be destroyed. Now hear the words of the Living God of Israel, you Children of the Promise your cries and prayers have been heard. He alone readying Himself to vindicate you

[drjayr78]

Tabernacles 2020: “And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.” ‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭14:16-18‬ ‭KJV Did you read that everyone will go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, not Christmas. The feast days were created for us to worship the Lord.

[drjayr78]

Feast of Tabernacles 2020:

“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:3-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Esther was taken to King Xerxes at the royal palace in early winter of the seventh year of his reign. And the king loved Esther more than any of the other young women. He was so delighted with her that he set the royal crown on her head and declared her queen instead of Vashti.” ‭‭Esther‬ ‭2:16-17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ As the close of Hanukkah comes let us remember the Prophecy of Ester. Who was taken to Xerxes (a type of Jesus) during winter (Hanukkah) and was purified and found favor with the king and was rewarded and declared as Queen Ester (bride of Christ). It is in Hanukkah that we find ourselves being re-dedicated to the Lords temple. Taking our first step of rebirth in His Holy name. It is Hanukkah that reminds us of the Holy Spirit lighting a fire with in us preparing us for Jacob's troubles. It's Hanukkah that we are reminded of the prophet Daniel's prophecies.

[drjayr78]

Last day of Hanukkah. Let us remember the gospel of John: “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication (Hanukkah), and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10:22-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Jesus is the burning Menorah that shall never be extinguished. He has given light to those that He has chosen. He has spoken and His elect have heard and followed. They have believed that the Son is the Father and the Father is the Son. There is only One God and He is the God of Israel. He shall give all those who believe eternal life as their reward and they will serve Him in His House.
