Shabbat Shalom
-------------------
All Welcome
-------------------------------
Let’s pray
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, sins, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen

Today
we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from
the 1500’s
Today is May 7th, 2011
----
God has His own calendar
We are now in the 2nd month of God, Ziv / Zif – 3rd day
1 Kgs. 6 [1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.
æÄå - ziv - brightness, (figuratively) the month of flowers
***Make sure you change your Judaism calendars – The 2nd month is not Iyyar as Judaism states, it is Ziv.

It seems I can never review these days early enough for you, this is the 11th time.
Here are the dates for 2011 again:
**Remember, all 2011 dates I give you start in the *evening before*
The Feast of Weeks (a Sabbath) will be Sunday June 12th
**Remember: There is one extra Sabbath left, besides the 7th day Sabbath each week
------------
**Remember: This is the second Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to count.
We are counting the "Sabbaths" not omers
An "omer" is a "sheaf" of barley - òîø
omer - A dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 liters)
-------------
Lev.23 [15] And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.
----------------------
Paul observing Pentecost / Feast of Weeks after the resurrection of Messiah
Acts 2 [1] And when the day of Pentecost / Feast of Weeks was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 20 [16] For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost / Feast of Weeks.
1 Cor. 16 [8] But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost / Feast of Weeks.
----------------------------------
Today is the Sabbath
This is how simple it is:
Exod. 20
[8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
------------
Deut. 5
[12] Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as Yehovah thy God hath commanded thee.
[13] Six days thou shalt labour,
and do all thy work:
[14] But the seventh day is the sabbath
of Yehovah thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine
ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest
as well as thou.
[15] And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Yehovah thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty
hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore Yehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
------------
Lev. 23
[3] Six days shall work be done:
but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;
ye shall do no work therein:
it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.
------------------------
Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, what evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
------------------------
60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath!
--------------------
Let's see what Yeshua, Paul and the Apostles did:
Acts 13 [13] Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. [14] But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. [15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
----
Acts 15 [21] For Moses of old time
hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
----
Luke 4 [16] And he, Yeshua came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom (prescribed by God's law) was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias.
----
Acts 13: [27] For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
----
Acts 13 [42] And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
[44] And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
----
First day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread
Luke. 23 [56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
----
"In the future"
Yeshua said in Matt. 24 [20] But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
-------------
Today's topic:
The 2nd week of the "7 week" journey to meet God
How are you behaving these 50 days? (Physically and Spiritually)
From slaves in Egypt to the people of God
-------------
Our testimony
Just a few verses:
2 Thes. 1 [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2 Tim. 1 [8] Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
Heb. 3 [5] And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
Heb. 11 [5] By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Rev. 6 [9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev. 11 the 2 Witnesses - [7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev. 12 [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
-------------
Our testimony
You are the "Temple of the Living God" and the "Light of the World"
**Dress code** People ask me all
the time what to wear when they come to our congregation.
As far as a dress code, all you have to do is
remember that you are the "Temple of the Living
God" and the "Light of the World".
This should tell you how to dress when you come.
God says be "HOLY" not sexy
1 Pet. 1 [13] Wherefore gird up
the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be
brought unto you at the revelation of Yeshua
the Messiah; [14] As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
[15]
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
[16] Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
------------------------
Lev. 20 [7] Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am Yehovah your God.
------------------------
Heb. 12 [14] Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see Yehovah:
------------------------
Paul says:
1 Tim. 2 [9]… that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works
Shamefacedness: Modesty or (towards God) awe - reverence
Sobriety: Soundness of mind, that is, (literally) sanity or (figuratively) self control: - soberness, sobriety, moderate as to opinion or passion)- discreet
------------------------
[16]
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is
laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the
gospel!
[17] For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will,
a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
[18] What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make
the gospel of Messiah without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
[19] For though I be free from all
men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
[20] And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews;
to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might
gain them that are under the law;
[21] To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to
God, but under the law to Messiah,) that I might gain them that are without law.
[22] To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak:
I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some.
[23] And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with
you.
--------------------
[24]
Know ye
not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So
run, that ye may obtain.
[25] And every man that striveth
for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a
corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible.
[26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I,
not as one that beateth
the air:
[27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any
means, when I have preached to others, I myself should
be a castaway.
----------------
Are you born again?
Are you converted?
This may seem like a simple study however it is the most important study.
Without being born again, converted, you will not see the kingdom of God.
If people don't see you as a "new, converted" creature, you probably are not a new creature but the old man or woman that you always were.
--------------------------------
Let's review a few words again
Converted
G4762 στρέφω - strephō - stref'-o
Strengthened from the base of G5157; to twist, that is, turn quite around or reverse (literally or figuratively): - convert, turn (again, back again (to a child), self, self about). To turn, turn around, to turn one’s self , metaphorically to turn one’s self from one’s course of conduct, i.e. to change one’s mind
G5157 - τροπή- tropē - trop-ay' - From an apparently primary word τρέπω trepō (to turn); a turn (“trope”), that is, revolution - turning.
--------------
David says:
Pss. 51 [10] Create in me a
clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
[13] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and
sinners shall be converted unto thee.
------------
Yeshua says:
Matt. 18 [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
------------
You should be
able to make a conscience list of the things you do in your new life.
I comprised a
short list, you should make your
own:
How do you honor God?
How do you speak to others?
How do you treat people?
How do you treat your brothers and sisters?
How do you dress?
Where do you like to go?
What do you like to do?
What type of people do you like to be around?
What do you eat or drink?
Remember the 10 Commandments
The first 4 commandments tell you how to treat God and the other 6 tell you how to treat your neighbor
-------------
Yeshua tells a Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a
ruler to be born again, born from above
John 3
[1] There was a man
of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
[2] The same came to Yeshua by night, and said unto
him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
[3] Yeshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[5] Yeshua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
[9] Nicodemus
answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
[10] Yeshua answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of
Israel, and knowest not these things?
[11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We
speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness.
[12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
------------------------
Peter says:
1 Pet. 1 [22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
[23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
------------------------
Are you a new creature, new man / woman?
2 Cor. 5 [17] Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
----
Eph. 4 [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
----
Col. 3 [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
------------------------
Here are a few new, converted people
Ruth, Rahab, Hittite and Peter
---------------
Ruth
Ruth 4 [16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
[17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Yehovah do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
[18] When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Ruth 4 [13] So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he
went in unto her, Yehovah gave her conception, and
she bare a son.
[14] And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Yehovah, which hath not left thee this day without a
kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
[15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter
in law, which loveth thee, which is better to
thee than seven sons, hath born him.
[16] And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became
nurse unto it.
[17] And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name
Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
[18] Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
[19] And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
[20] And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
[21] And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
[22] And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse
begat David.
-------------
David’s army - Mighty men, honorable - Uriah the “Hittite”
--------------
Rahab
Josh. 2 [1] And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
[3] And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
Josh.6 [17] And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to Yehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
[23] And the young men that were spies went in, and brought Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
[25] And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
-------------
Yeshua tells Simon Peter:
Luke. 22 [31] And Yehovah said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
-------------
Simon Peter is now converted
He says in Acts 3
[19] Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of Yehovah;
[20] And He (the Father) shall send Yeshua the Messiah, which before was preached unto you:
[21] Whom the
heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God
hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
------------
Paul writes to the Colossians
Col. 3
[1] If ye then be risen with Messiah, seek those things
which are above, where Messiah sitteth on the right hand of God.
[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Messiah in God.
[4] When Messiah, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
[5] Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
[6] For which
things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
[7] In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
[8] But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
[9] Lie not one to
another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after
the image of him that created him:
[11] Where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free: but Messiah is all, and in all.
[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have
a quarrel against any: even as Messiah forgave you, so also do ye.
[14] And above all
these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one
body; and be ye thankful.
[16] Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to Yehovah.
[17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in
the Lord.
[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be
not bitter against them.
[20] Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well
pleasing unto Lord.
[21] Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be
discouraged.
[22] Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh;
not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of
heart, fearing God:
[23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto
men;
[24] Knowing that of Yehovah ye shall receive the
reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord, Messiah.
[25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.
------------------------
All things are “New”
New flesh, body
Job 19 [25] For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:[26] And though after my skin worms destroy this body (earthly body) , yet in my flesh (new body) shall I see God:
-----------
1 Cor. 15 35] But some man
will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body
do they come?
[36]
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except
it die:
[37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall
be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[38] But God giveth it a body as it hath
pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of
men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and
the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in
glory.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption:
[43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[45] And so it is
written, The first man Adam was made a
living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord
from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the
heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[50] Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
[53] For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
----------------
Yeshua's new body
Luke 24 [39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
----------------
New heavens and a new earth
Isa. 65 [17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
New -çÂãÈùÑÄéí - adjective masculine plural absolute
----------------
Isa. 66 [22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Yehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
[23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another , shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yehovah.
ëÌÄé ëÇàÂùÑÆø äÇùÌÑÈîÇéÄí äÇçÂãÈùÑÄéí åÀäÈàÈøÆõ äÇçÂãÈùÑÈä àÂùÑÆø àÂðÄé òÉùÒÆä, òÉîÀãÄéí ìÀôÈðÇéÎÎðÀàËíÎéÀäåÈä: ëÌÅï éÇòÂîÉã æÇøÀòÂëÆí, åÀùÑÄîÀëÆí
[24] And they shall
go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have
transgressed against me:
for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
----------------
Yeshua quotes Isa. 66:24
Mark 9 [43] And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
[44] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
[45] And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
[46 ] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
[47] And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
[48] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
----------------
Peter quotes Isa. 66:22
2 Pet. 3 [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
----------------
New Jerusalem
Rev. 3 [12] Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
----------------
Rev. 21 [1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [ 2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven , prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
------------------
Just for the record, Renew is not New
The word renew is a verb and the word new is an adjective.
In Hebrew, the vowels agree with the noun: Example: new covenant - áÌÀøÄéú çÂãÈùÑÈä
áÌÀøÄéú covenant is a feminine noun and needs a feminine adjective çÂãÈùÑÈä

In closing:
Feast of Weeks / Pentecost is coming
-------
Are you born again? Are you converted?
Without being born again, converted, you will not see the kingdom of God.
It is good to always examine ourselves and prove all things
2 Cor. 13 [5] Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye
not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
1 Thes. 5 [21] Prove all things; hold
fast that which is good.
As we make our "7 week" journey to meet God, ask yourselves these 2 questions:
How are you behaving these 50 days? (Physically and Spiritually)
Are you truly born again of the Spirit?
