Today we use the Gregorian calendar
from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s
Today is June 28th, 2014
June -- Juno's month
Junius had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when
it became 30 days long.
Juno is the principle goddess of the
Roman Pantheon.
She is the goddess of marriage and the
well-being of women.
She is the wife and sister of Jupiter.
She is identified with the Greek goddess Hera.
----------------
God has His own calendar
We are now in the 3rd month
called Sivan, 29th day
Esth.8 [9] Then were the
king's scribes called at that time in the third month,
that is, the month Sivan…

I would love to come and give a talk at your congregation,
school or home on the Jewish / Hebrew roots of your faith from the Scriptures,
not Judaism.

-----------------------------
This evening starts the new moon; we will be in the fourth
month of God which has no biblical name in scripture.
Judaism uses the name Tammuz which is not the name of the
4th month. Tammuz is a false God. We are Jews that do not follow Judaism.
--------------------------------------------
Today's Topic
Only two weeks after the Feast of Weeks, Pentecost
and again
Do you really know what born again means?
Do you really know what being converted is?
Are you born again?
This may seem like a simple study however it is one of the most important studies.
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 doing and allowing the same old things. You just want to be liked.
--------------------------------
Let's review a few words first:
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.
שׁוּב shûv - to return, turn back, of spiritual relations (figuratively), to turn back (to God), repent, to restore, refresh, repair (figuratively), reverse
------------
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.
------------------------
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:
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:
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.
------------
You should be able to make a conscience list of the things you are doing in your new life.
Here is a short list:
How do you honor the God of Israel?
How do you speak to others?
How
do you treat people?
Do
you allow sin in your camp?
Do
you make concessions and give alibis, excuses for sin?
Do
you have respect of persons in God’s judgments with
relatives or friends?
How
do you treat your real brothers and sisters?
How do you keep Sabbath or the feasts? Are they Holy, set apart to the God of Israel?
How do you dress? What do you look like?
How do you act before others?
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, drink or smoke?
Make your own list
-------------
Yeshua broke down the Law and the Prophets which contain the 10 Commandments as well as any other commandment in Torah like this:
How do you treat God and how do you treat your neighbors (in the God of Israel).
Mat 22: 35-40
Then
one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law
- TaNaKh?
[37] Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as
thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets. TaNaKh
------------
I have a few questions
Did you take hold of the Yehovah’s Covenant yet?
Have you been "joined" to Yehovah, the God of Israel yet?
Are you sojourning among the people of
the God of Israel truly?
------------
Yeshua
said, (paraphrased)
Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man or woman be born again, they cannot see
the kingdom of God.
Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man or woman be born of water and of the
Spirit, they cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit.
Marvel
not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
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.
---------------------------------
Some people desire to be teachers of the law, Torah, understanding neither what
they say, nor whereof they affirm, Saul says below.
---------------------
Eph.4 [14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed
to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
--------------------
Paul reminds us:
2 Cor. 11 [26] …He was in perils among false
brethren;
Gal. 2 [4] And that because of false
brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily
to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bring us into
bondage:
I am reminded:
1Pet.5 [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Matt.4 [3] And when the tempter
came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread.
1Thes.3 [5] For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to
know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour
be in vain.
Give no place to the devil
Eph.4 [27] Neither give place to the devil.
Prince of the power of the air is a spirit
Eph.2 [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of
this world, according to the prince of the power of
the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience:
The Angel of light, Satan’s ministers in congregations, beware!
2 Cor.11 [14] And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
an angel of light.[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his (satan's) ministers
also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;
1Pet.5 [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Matt.4 [3] And when the tempter
came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread.
1Thes.3 [5] For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to
know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and
our labour be in vain.
Num.17 [10] And Yehovah said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before
the testimony, to be kept for a token against the
rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me,
that they die not.
Ezek.20 [38] And I will purge out
from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them
forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the
land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Yehovah
----------------
The Yehovah’s
covenants are like His marriage contracts – binding!
Gen.2 [20] And Adam gave
names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast
of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
[21] And the Yehovah God caused a deep sleep to
fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the
flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the Yehovah God had taken
from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken
out of Man.
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one
flesh.
Matt.19 [4] ...Have
ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and
female,
[5] And said, For this cause shall a
man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain (2)
shall be one flesh?
[6] Wherefore they are no more twain (2), but one
flesh. What therefore God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder.
--------------------
Jer.3 [14] Turn, O
backsliding children, saith the Yehovah; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring
you to Zion:
[15] And I will give you pastors according to
mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
[16] And it shall come to pass, when ye be
multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Yehovah, they
shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Yehovah: neither shall it
come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it;
neither shall that be done any more.
[17] At that time they shall call Jerusalem the
throne of the Yehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the
name of the Yehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the
imagination of their evil heart.
[18] In those days the house of Judah shall walk
with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the
north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
--------------------
In closing:
Are you really born again?
Are you really converted?
Or are you
Luke.22 [48], betraying
thou the Son of man with a kiss?
You are
so nice, NOT
---
Some people think that are good actors
and feign themselves just men
Luke.20 [19]
And the chief priests and the scribes the
same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they
perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. [20] And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which
should feign themselves just men, that
they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the
power and authority of the governor.
-----------------
Without being born again, converted, you will not see the kingdom of
God.
Saved from what?
Rom.5 [9]… being
now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him
It is good to always examine and prove yourselves
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.
Shabbat Shalom
