May grace and shalom be yours in full measure, as you come to a full knowledge of God and Yeshua our Lord. God’s power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to his own glory and goodness. By these he has given us valuable and superlatively great promises, so that through them you might come to share in God’s nature and escape the corruption which evil desires have brought into the world.

For this very reason, try your hardest to furnish your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with perseverance, perseverance with godliness, godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if you have these qualities in abundance, they keep you from being barren and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Indeed, whoever lacks them is blind, so shortsighted that he forgets that his past sins have been washed away.

Therefore, brothers, try even harder to make your being called and chosen a certainty. For if you keep doing this, you will never stumble. Thus you will be generously supplied with everything you need to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah.
2Peter 2-11 CJB

We are to try even harder to make your being called and chosen a certainty. We do this not by faking it until we make it. We do this by furnishing our faith … with goodness, goodness with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with perseverance, perseverance with godliness, godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if you have these qualities in abundance, they keep you from being barren and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

What is furnishing our faith, you may be asking. Peter makes it very understandable. Move in like weighty furniture: goodness with knowledge; knowledge with self control; self control with perseverance; pperseverance with godliness; godliness with brotherly affection and brotherly affection with love.

He further tells us that if we place weight on these things with every thought, deed and action in abundance, they will keep us from being barren and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Wow! Abba, we come before You today and repent for our missing the mark. For not lining up with what You place weight on. Our desire is for Your authentic outpouring of Your Holy Spirit. Have it all, Abba. We lay down our agenda, our worship, our plans. We lay it all down before You and receive Your authentic Ruach HaKodesh in Yeshua’s Name.

We declare that we will try even harder to make being called and chosen a certainty. We will furnish our faith from this point forward as You have instructed. We command barrenness to leave!, blindness to leave, eyes and ears to be opened! That we may receive the full knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

We commit to keep doing this. We receive Your Word through Peter that by doing as You have instructed, we will not stumble. That we will be generously supplied with everything that we need to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah. Amen!

Scripture for the week of February 19, 2023
By JoBeth Kested

I pray … that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe… Ephesians 1:17-19 (NASB)

Are you in need of wisdom to solve a baffling situation or revelation to grasp something beyond your understanding? Do you need renewed hope to see beyond impossible mountains to difficult to overcome? Wisdom requires discernment sometimes beyond our awareness, revelation can breakthrough as a dawning truth and hope is the anticipation of a fulfilled need or desire. We are reminded in this scripture that in knowing Him, our Father God gives to us the gift of His spirit of wisdom and revelation. We can also expect to “see” a lightening in our hearts to KNOW the hope of His calling. As His chosen ones, there is an awesome greatness of His power toward us who believe in Him. And, there is a wealth of glory that is His inheritance in us! May you know the greatness of His wisdom, power, and love for you! Amen!

Hebrew Word Kapparah – Atonement, Ransom for Sin. To cover, to ignore, “expiation;” something that wipes out or erases guilt or sin.

Through Yeshua (Jesus) sacrifice, even the guilt of our sin has been erased. Ponder this in your heart as you continue to read.

1John 4 CJB

Dear friends, don’t trust every spirit. On the contrary, test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Here is how you recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges that Yeshua the Messiah came as a human being is from God, and every spirit which does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God — in fact, this is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah. You have heard that he is coming. Well, he’s here now, in the world already!

You, children, are from God and have overcome the false prophets, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore, they speak from the world’s viewpoint; and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God doesn’t listen to us. This is how we distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

Beloved friends, let us love one another; because love is from God; and everyone who loves has God as his Father and knows God. Those who do not love, do not know God; because God is love. Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the kapparah for our sins.

Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains united with us, and our love for him has been brought to its goal in us. Here is how we know that we remain united with him and he with us: he has given to us from his own Spirit. Moreover, we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son as Deliverer of the world. If someone acknowledges that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains united with him, and he with God.

Also we have come to know and trust the love that God has for us. God is love; and those who remain in this love remain united with God, and God remains united with them.

Here is how love has been brought to maturity with us: as the Messiah is, so are we in the world. This gives us confidence for the Day of Judgment. There is no fear in love. On the contrary, love that has achieved its goal gets rid of fear, because fear has to do with punishment; the person who keeps fearing has not been brought to maturity in regard to love.

We ourselves love now because he loved us first. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if a person does not love his brother, whom he has seen, then he cannot love God, whom he has not seen. Yes, this is the command we have from him: whoever loves God must love his brother too.

Today, we come before Your Throne Abba and thank You for Your Love. Your Love, Your way of Love far exceeds anything that any of us could ever imagine. Anything that this world could offer us.

Thank You for Loving each of us. We choose You, Your will, Your way, Your Son Jesus Christ-Yeshua HaMashiach and declare that He is our Anointed Salvation.

Fill each of us a fresh with Your Ruach HaKodesh today to overflowing measure that we may share Him and impart Him to others who need Him.

Be who You are in fullness Abba. We place no limits on You! Be who You are on our behalf.

In Yeshua (Jesus) Name Amen

Psalms 1–41

1 How blessed are those
who reject the advice of the wicked,
don’t stand on the way of sinners
or sit where scoffers sit!
² Their delight
is in Adonai’s Torah;
on his Torah they meditate
day and night.
³ They are like trees planted by streams —
they bear their fruit in season,
their leaves never wither,
everything they do succeeds.

⁴ Not so the wicked,
who are like chaff driven by the wind.
⁵ For this reason the wicked
won’t stand up to the judgment,
nor will sinners
at the gathering of the righteous.
⁶ For Adonai watches over
the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked
is doomed.

In Psalm 33, we are instructed to Rejoice in Adonai! That Praise is well-suited to the upright.

We are also instructed that – ¹⁰ Adonai brings to nothing the plans of nations, he foils the plans of the peoples.
¹¹ But the counsel of Adonai stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations.
¹² How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai, the people he chose as his heritage!

So we are not to fear when evil men and women plan destruction! We must have faith that Adonai sees all things, knows all things and that He will bring these plans to NOTHING!

We do however have a part in this and that is to declare and decree His Word into His Earth! So please join me in Declaring and Decreeing Psalm 33 over each of our delegated rule of authority in Yeshua (Jesus) Name

Abba, we choose to trust in You, Your way, Your plan and we Declare and Decree Psalm 33 over every plot and plan of the enemy to bring chaos, destruction, famine and false hope to Your people in Yeshua (Jesus) Name! His Blood-we apply!

No weapon formed against us shall prosper! No bio-weapon, no food worm, no food shortage, No weapon of any kind that could be conjured up by that lying devil and his brood of idiots who follow him! No weapon!formed against us will by any means prosper!

Amen and Amen

Yesha ‘yahu (Isa) 54:17 CJBNo weapon made will prevail against you. In court you will refute every accusation. The servants of ADONAI inherit all this; the reward for their righteousness is from me,” says ADONAI.

Please Declare and Decree Psalm 33 out loud! Into your atmosphere!

Psalm 33 CJB

33 Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous!
Praise is well-suited to the upright.
² Give thanks to Adonai with the lyre,
sing praises to him with a ten-stringed harp.

³ Sing to him a new song, make music at your best among shouts of joy.
⁴ For the word of Adonai is true, and all his work is trustworthy.

⁵ He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the grace of Adonai.

⁶ By the word of Adonai the heavens were made, and their whole host by a breath from his mouth.
⁷ He collects the sea waters together in a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear Adonai! Let all living in the world stand in awe of him.
⁹ For he spoke, and there it was; he commanded, and there it stood.

¹⁰ Adonai brings to nothing the plans of nations, he foils the plans of the peoples.
¹¹ But the counsel of Adonai stands forever,
his heart’s plans are for all generations.
¹² How blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai, the people he chose as his heritage!

¹³ Adonai looks out from heaven; he sees every human being;
¹⁴ from the place where he lives he watches everyone living on earth,
¹⁵ he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.

¹⁶ A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
¹⁷ To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape.

¹⁸ But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him, over those who wait for his grace
¹⁹ to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We are waiting for Adonai; he is our help and shield.
²¹ For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
²² May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.

Today we Declare and decree Psalm 25 to YHWH in Yeshua (Jesus) Name from our hearts.

Lift up your heads oh ye gates, be lifted up you everlasting doors!

That’s you. You are gates and doors into YHWH’s Kingdom through The Door Yeshua (Jesus). For others to see His Light and walk on through.

Decree with me Today:

Psalm 25 ⁽⁰⁾ By David:

⁽¹⁾ I lift my inner being to you, Adonai;
² I trust you, my God.
Don’t let me be disgraced,
don’t let my enemies gloat over me.
³ No one waiting for you will be disgraced;
disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.

⁴ Make me know your ways, Adonai,
teach me your paths.
⁵ Guide me in your truth, and teach me;
for you are the God who saves me,
my hope is in you all day long.
⁶ Remember your compassion and grace, Adonai;
for these are ages old.
⁷ Don’t remember my youthful sins or transgressions;
but remember me according to your grace
for the sake of your goodness, Adonai.

⁸ Adonai is good, and he is fair;
this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live],
⁹ leads the humble to do what is right
and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
¹⁰ All Adonai’s paths are grace and truth
to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
¹¹ For the sake of your name, Adonai,
forgive my wickedness, great though it is.

¹² Who is the person who fears Adonai?
He will teach him the way to choose.
¹³ He will remain prosperous,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
¹⁴ Adonai relates intimately with those who fear him;
he makes them know his covenant.

¹⁵ My eyes are always directed toward Adonai,
for he will free my feet from the net.
¹⁶ Turn to me, and show me your favor;
for I am alone and oppressed.
¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are growing and growing;
bring me out of my distress.
¹⁸ See my affliction and suffering,
and take all my sins away.

¹⁹ Consider my enemies, how many there are
and how cruelly they hate me.
²⁰ Protect me and rescue me;
don’t let me be disgraced,
for I take refuge in you.
²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
because my hope is in you.

²² God! Redeem Isra’el
from all their troubles!

Please be very careful of what you call legalism. YHWH’s definition of legalism and freedom are so completely different than the worlds.

In Galatians 5 we are warned not to allow our freedom to become an excuse for allowing our old nature to have its way. We are to be the New Creation that was created by YHWH when we were born again.

That New Creation is to love and serve our neighbors. We are to run our lives by the Ruach HaKoddsh (Holy Spirit).

We submit ourselves and choose to allow Him (Ruach HaKodesh -Holy Spirit) to run our lives in every situation. We are never forced. That is true freedom.

Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) always wants what is contrary to our fleshly old nature.

The Torah is a part of our New. It is viewed in a very wrong way to most because they allow their old nature to rule over them. We must all be watchful that we Honor all if YHWH’s Words, Genesis through Revelation. Never perverting His Torah into legalism.

Examine your own heart today in the context of true Freedom. Ask YHWH to reveal any legalistic areas that you are allowing your old nature to contaminate your New. Ask Him specifically if you have perverted His Torah, by dismissing it or calling it old.

YHWH, we come before You in reverence for Your definition of freedom. We repent for ever allowing our old nature to be made manifest in any Life situation. Please forgive us in Yeshua (Jesus) Name

May we allow this to transform the manner in which we perceive the freedom that Yeshua (Jesus) paid such a high price for. As we examine and submit ourselves fully, May we freshly receive Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and renew our freedom covenant with YHWH. Entering into His Love for us and pouring His Love into our Neighbors. Understanding that until we have done this, we are not truly free.

As for me, I choose to submit myself fully and freshly receive to overflowing measure Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). Walking in the One New Humanity that You designed for me to walk in.

Amen and Amen

Galatians 5:13-18 CJB For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love. For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself”; but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other! What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit.

Then you will not do what your old nature wants. For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions.

But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.

How do you see your fellow man? From your perspective or from YHWH’s?

Read2 Corinthians 5:16-21 and allow Adonai to open the eyes of your understanding to see your fellowmen through His perspective.

See the new creation. The question is really, who are you united with? Messiah or the world? One or the other is your viewpoint.

Therefore, if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has passed; look, what has come is fresh and new!

And it is all from God, who through the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the work of that reconciliation, which is that God in the Messiah was reconciling mankind to himself, not counting their sins against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God! God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.”

2Cor 5:16-21 So from now on, we do not look at anyone from a worldly viewpoint. Even if we once regarded the Messiah from a worldly viewpoint, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has passed; look, what has come is fresh and new! And it is all from God, who through the Messiah has reconciled us to himself and has given us the work of that reconciliation, which is that God in the Messiah was reconciling mankind to himself, not counting their sins against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God! God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.”

Abba forgive us for ever looking upon our fellowman with a worldly viewpoint. We repent and ask for forgiveness.

We declare from now on to look upon our fellowman from Your perspective in Yeshua (Jesus) Name Amen

Psalm 19 CJB

19 ⁽⁰⁾ For the leader. A psalm of David:

^{2 (1)} The heavens declare the glory of God,
the dome of the sky speaks the work of his hands.
^{3 (2)} Every day it utters speech,
every night it reveals knowledge.
^{4 (3)} Without speech, without a word,
without their voices being heard,
^{5 (4)} their line goes out through all the earth
and their words to the end of the world.

In them he places a tent for the sun,
^6 (5) which comes out like a bridegroom from the bridal chamber,
with delight like an athlete to run his race.
^7 (6) It rises at one side of the sky,
circles around to the other side,
and nothing escapes its heat.

^{8 (7)} The Torah of Adonai is perfect,
restoring the inner person.
The instruction of Adonai is sure,
making wise the thoughtless.
^{9 (8)} The precepts of Adonai are right,
rejoicing the heart.
The mitzvah of Adonai is pure,
enlightening the eyes.
^{10 (9)} The fear of Adonai is clean,
enduring forever.
The rulings of Adonai are true,
they are righteous altogether,
^{11 (10)} more desirable than gold,
than much fine gold,
also sweeter than honey
or drippings from the honeycomb.
^{12 (11)} Through them your servant is warned; in obeying them there is great reward.

^{13 (12)} Who can discern unintentional sins?
Cleanse me from hidden faults.
^{14 (13)} Also keep your servant from presumptuous sins, so that they won’t control me. Then I will be blameless
and free of great offense.

^{15 (14)} May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable in your presence, Adonai, my Rock and Redeemer.
