The Joy of Adonai is your strength. Don’t loose your joy. Find joy in your war. Joy is worth warring for.

Great Joy comes when we repent for our sins. As you partake of the following Scripture, allow Adonai to search your heart. Repent for your sins and be cleansed by His Holy Fire. May Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) fill you to overflowing and flood you with the joy of your Salvation in Yeshua (Jesus) and let a willing spirit uphold you.
Then you may teach the wicked His ways and sinners will return to Him.
Allow Him to sprinkle you with hyssop and cleanse you. Allow Him to wash you and you will be whiter than snow.
There are so many keys of Joy in this Psalm. Receive all that Abba has for you today in Yeshua (Jesus) Name
Psalm 51 CJB
51 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David, 2 when Natan the prophet came to him after his affair with Bat-Sheva:
3 (1) God, in your grace, have mercy on me; in your great compassion, blot out my crimes. 4 (2) Wash me completely from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin. 5 (3) For I know my crimes, my sin confronts me all the time.
6 (4) Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil from your perspective; so that you are right in accusing me and justified in passing sentence.
7 (5) True, I was born guilty, was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me. 8 (6) Still, you want truth in the inner person; so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.
9 (7) Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 10 (8) Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness, so that the bones you crushed can rejoice. 11 (9) Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my crimes.
12 (10) Create in me a clean heart, God; renew in me a resolute spirit. 13 (11) Don’t thrust me away from your presence, don’t take your Ruach Kodesh away from me. 14 (12) Restore my joy in your salvation, and let a willing spirit uphold me. 15 (13) Then I will teach the wicked your ways, and sinners will return to you.
16 (14) Rescue me from the guilt of shedding blood, God, God of my salvation! Then my tongue will sing about your righteousness — 17 (15) Adonai, open my lips; then my mouth will praise you.
18 (16) For you don’t want sacrifices, or I would give them; you don’t take pleasure in burnt offerings. 19 (17) My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God, you won’t spurn a broken, chastened heart. 20 (18) In your good pleasure, make Tziyon prosper; rebuild the walls of Yerushalayim. 21 (19) Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then they will offer bulls on your altar.

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers, neither what exists nor what is coming, 39 neither powers above nor powers below, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which comes to us through the Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.
Isaiah 12 CJB 12 On that day you will say:
“I thank you, Adonai, because, although you were angry at me, your anger is now turned away; and you are comforting me.
2 “See! God is my salvation. I am confident and unafraid; for Yah Adonai is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation!”
3 Then you will joyfully draw water from the springs of salvation. 4 On that day you will say, “Give thanks to Adonai! Call on his name! Make his deeds known among the peoples, declare how exalted is his name. 5 Sing to Adonai, for he has triumphed — this is being made known throughout the earth. 6 Shout and sing for joy, you who live in Tziyon; for the Holy One of Isra’el is with you in his greatness!”

Adonai, we are Thankful to You for Your Joy! Yeshua (Jesus) Is our Joy. The Joy of Adonai is our strength. When we return to the true root and become His branch, we then have joy and obtain His strength for every situation. Adonai has provided each of us His Joy. He Is Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.

Scripture for the week of December 4, 2022 By JoBeth Kested
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me. Isaiah 43:10 NKJV
Have you ever considered that there is a big difference between “believing in God” verses “believing God”? Believing in God allows us to believe what we want to believe about God as we attempt to fit Him into the box of our own preferences and understanding. Believing God means we have chosen to acknowledge the absolute sovereignty of the Bible, believing God is Who He says He is and also believing that He will do what He says He will do. God declares in this verse that He has chosen us even before we choose Him! He invites us to “know” Him in an intimate personal relationship that opens the eyes of our understanding with the ability to BELIEVE that He Is The One and Only True GOD that always was, always is and always will be! Let your light so shine that others also see and believe. Praise the Lord!
As you enter into Shabbat this week, I pray that you receive the fullness of who Yeshua (Jesus) IS. I pray that you will trust Him and partake of Him. He IS the bread of Life and His Blood IS LIFE.
Please, partake of His Communion and then read John 6. I ask Him to open your the eyes of your understanding as you offer yourself to Him in Communion. Amen
Abba, we invite Yeshua (Jesus) into our lives and hearts freshly this Shabbat. Fill us to overflowing with Your Holy Spirit – Spirit of Wisdom, Revelation, Counsel, Might (Power), Knowledge and The Fear of ADONAI (The LORD). Be who YOU are ADONAI in fullness so that we can be who YOU made us to be Amen
John 6 CJB
6 Some time later, Yeshua went over to the far side of Lake Kinneret (that is, Lake Tiberias), 2 and a large crowd followed him, because they had seen the miracles he had performed on the sick. 3 Yeshua went up into the hills and sat down there with his talmidim. 4 Now the Judean festival of Pesach was coming up; 5 so when Yeshua looked up and saw that a large crowd was approaching, he said to Philip, “Where will we be able to buy bread, so that these people can eat?” 6 (Now Yeshua said this to test Philip, for Yeshua himself knew what he was about to do.) 7 Philip answered, “Half a year’s wages wouldn’t buy enough bread for them — each one would get only a bite!” 8 One of the talmidim, Andrew the brother of Shim‘on Kefa, said to him, 9 “There’s a young fellow here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But how far will they go among so many?”
10 Yeshua said, “Have the people sit down.” There was a lot of grass there, so they sat down. The number of men was about five thousand. 11 Then Yeshua took the loaves of bread, and, after making a b’rakhah, gave to all who were sitting there, and likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 After they had eaten their fill, he told his talmidim, “Gather the leftover pieces, so that nothing gets wasted.” 13 They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.
14 When the people saw the miracle he had performed, they said, “This has to be ‘the prophet’ who is supposed to come into the world.” 15 Yeshua knew that they were on the point of coming and seizing him, in order to make him king; so he went back to the hills again. This time he went by himself.
16 When evening came, his talmidim went down to the lake, 17 got into a boat and set out across the lake toward K’far-Nachum. By now it was dark, Yeshua had not yet joined them, 18 and the sea was getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. 19 They had rowed three or four miles when they saw Yeshua approaching the boat, walking on the lake! They were terrified; 20 but he said to them, “Stop being afraid, it is I.” 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and instantly the boat reached the land they were heading for.
22 The next day, the crowd which had stayed on the other side of the lake noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Yeshua had not entered the boat with his talmidim, but that the talmidim had been alone when they sailed off. 23 Then other boats, from Tiberias, came ashore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had made the b’rakhah. 24 Accordingly, when the crowd saw that neither Yeshua nor his talmidim were there, they themselves boarded the boats and made for K’far-Nachum in search of Yeshua.
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Yeshua answered, “Yes, indeed! I tell you, you’re not looking for me because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate the bread and had all you wanted! 27 Don’t work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is the one on whom God the Father has put his seal.”
28 So they said to him, “What should we do in order to perform the works of God?” 29 Yeshua answered, “Here’s what the work of God is: to trust in the one he sent!”
30 They said to him, “Nu, what miracle will you do for us, so that we may see it and trust you? What work can you perform? 31 Our fathers ate man in the desert — as it says in the Tanakh, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a]32 Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! I tell you it wasn’t Moshe who gave you the bread from heaven. But my Father is giving you the genuine bread from heaven; 33 for God’s bread is the one who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread from now on.” 35 Yeshua answered, “I am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty. 36 I told you that you have seen but still don’t trust. 37 Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will certainly not turn away. 38 For I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of the One who sent me. 39 And this is the will of the One who sent me: that I should not lose any of all those he has given me but should raise them up on the Last Day. 40 Yes, this is the will of my Father: that all who see the Son and trust in him should have eternal life, and that I should raise them up on the Last Day.”
41 At this the Judeans began grumbling about him because he said, “I am the bread which has come down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Yeshua Ben-Yosef? We know his father and mother! How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Yeshua answered them, “Stop grumbling to each other! 44 No one can come to me unless the Father — the One who sent me — draws him. And I will raise him up on the Last Day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘They will all be taught by Adonai.’[b]Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God — he has seen the Father. 47 Yes, indeed! I tell you, whoever trusts has eternal life: 48 I am the bread which is life. 49 Your fathers ate the man in the desert; they died. 50 But the bread that comes down from heaven is such that a person may eat it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that has come down from heaven; if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. Furthermore, the bread that I will give is my own flesh; and I will give it for the life of the world.”
52 At this, the Judeans disputed with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Then Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! I tell you that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life — that is, I will raise him up on the Last Day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father, so also whoever eats me will live through me. 58 So this is the bread that has come down from heaven — it is not like the bread the fathers ate; they’re dead, but whoever eats this bread will live forever!” 59 He said these things as he was teaching in a synagogue in K’far-Nachum.
60 On hearing it, many of his talmidim said, “This is a hard word — who can bear to listen to it?” 61 But Yeshua, aware that his talmidim were grumbling about this, said to them, “This is a trap for you? 62 Suppose you were to see the Son of Man going back up to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life, 64 yet some among you do not trust.” (For Yeshua knew from the outset which ones would not trust him, also which one would betray him.) 65 “This,” he said, “is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has made it possible for him.”
66 From this time on, many of his talmidimturned back and no longer traveled around with him. 67 So Yeshua said to the Twelve, “Don’t you want to leave too?” 68 Shim‘on Kefa answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the word of eternal life. 69 We have trusted, and we know that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Yeshua answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is an adversary.” 71 (He was speaking of Y’hudah Ben-Shim‘on, from K’riot; for this man — one of the Twelve! — was soon to betray him.)

Psalm 28:1-9By David: Adonai, I am calling to you; my Rock, don’t be deaf to my cry For if you answer me with silence, I will be like those who fall in a pit. Hear the sound of my prayers when I cry to you, when I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary. Don’t drag me off with the wicked, with those whose deeds are evil; they speak words of peace to their fellowmen, but evil is in their hearts. Pay them back for their deeds, as befits their evil acts; repay them for what they have done, give them what they deserve. For they don’t understand the deeds of Adonai or what he has done. He will break them down; he will not build them up. Blessed be Adonai, for he heard my voice as I prayed for mercy. Adonai is my strength and shield; in him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. Therefore my heart is filled with joy, and I will sing praises to him. Adonai is strength for [his people], a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. Save your people! Bless your heritage! Shepherd
them, and carry them forever!
Read this out loud to Adonai and allow Him to settle some things that are happening in your life. This is the month of Kislev.
The Hebraic letter for the month of Kislev is “Samekh” which is a picture of trust, support, and coming full circle. May we all find a new level of trust and support in Adonai this month that will bring us full circle; ending some things that need to cease so that we can step forward into all the new He has for us in Him. (From FaithTestimony/Quest… see link below).
“Samekh” Psalm 119:113-120 I hate doubleminded people, but I love your Torah. You are my hiding-place and shield; I put my hope in your word. Leave me alone, you evildoers, so that I can keep my God’s mitzvot. Uphold me, as you promised; and I will live; don’t disappoint me in my hope. Support me; and I will be saved, always putting my attention on your laws. You reject all who stray from your laws, for what they deceive themselves with is false. You discard the wicked of the earth like slag; this is why I love your instruction. My body trembles for fear of you; your rulings make me afraid. (Exert from The Quest of the Overcomers by Beth Auman & JoBeth Kested, https://faithtestimony.org/quest-of-the-overcomers-by-beth-auman-and-jobeth-kested/)
The letter Samekh see how the Samekh is a full circle. Adonai wants to bring many things in our lives full circle. Another way to look at this is the word shalom in Hebrew. Shalom means complete, nothing missing, nothing broken, whole. Adonai’s desire for each of us is for our lives to be whole, mind, body, spirit. No fragmentation. When we yield unto Him and lay down our lives before Him as an offering, there is a divine exchange. He takes our sorrow, sadness, despair and gives us joy. He takes our shame, filth and our disgrace and makes us clean. He takes our bitterness, our wounds, our rejection and our fragmentation and He heals us through the blood of Yeshua (Jesus) and He makes us whole.
Many people receive Yeshua (Jesus) as LORD and yet never allow Him the opportunity to make things come full circle in their lives here on earth. Yeshua (Jesus) said in John 10:10 CJB 10 The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.
You cannot receive the fullest measure without allowing Adonai to bring things in your life full circle (Samekh). The divine exchange is laying down all the things that are wrong, painful, sinful, dirty, hurtful, sad, bitter, anything contrary to the Word of God and exchanging these for life in its fullest measure. That is why Yeshua Jesus came. That is why He was born, lived a sinless life, died, went to hell, took the keys from the devil and rose again. So that each of us would have the opportunity to believe in Him and have the eternal, everlasting abundant life that He came for us to have.
Yet, many believers continue to live a fragmented and tormented lives. They refuse to lay their stuff down and allow Yeshua (Jesus) to make them Shalom (whole).
Please enter into the Holy of Holies with me today and ask Adonai to search you for anything that is fragmented in your life. When He puts His finger on something, lay it down before Him and apply the blood of Yeshua (Jesus) over it. Leave it there and allow Him to make you Shalom (whole), bring it full circle (Samekh).
Here is a prayer for you to pray.
Adonai, I come before You today and ask that You search my heart. If there is anything within me that is fragmented in any way, please reveal it to me. As You reveal my fragmented heart to me, I yield it back to You in Jesus name. I lay it down. Never to pick it back up. I desire Your divine exchange LORD. More than my next breath. Make Psalm 28 a reality in my life, Adonai my Elohim in Yeshua (Jesus) Name.
I lay it down and You make me whole. That is the divine exchange. I want Your abundant, fullest measure of life. I want to fulfill my destiny and be who You created me to be.
My declaration today is:
Psalm 28:6-9
6 Blessed be Adonai, for he heard my voice as I prayed for mercy. 7 Adonai is my strength and shield; in him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. Therefore my heart is filled with joy, and I will sing praises to him.
8 Adonai is strength for [his people], a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. 9 Save your people! Bless your heritage! Shepherd them, and carry them forever!
I apply the blood of Yeshua (Jesus) over my prayer today and seal this divine exchange by Your Holy Spirit. Amen
Each day I go before Adonai and ask Him what I can read to Him. I read and declare as He leads. Recently, He instructed me to share. My hope is that you will be strengthened to move forward by His anointed Word. I declare life into each of you. His Life, His Love, His Word be it unto you this very day in Yeshua (Jesus’) Name Amen
Declare Psalm 115 CJB with me today in Yeshua (Jesus) Name
115 Not to us, Adonai, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your grace and truth.
2 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. 4 Their idols are mere silver and gold, made by human hands. 5 They have mouths, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see; 6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell; 7 they have hands, but they can’t feel; they have feet, but they can’t walk; with their throats they can’t make a sound. 8 The people who make them will become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them.
9 Isra’el, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 10 House of Aharon, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 11 You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai! He is their help and shield. 12 Adonai has kept us in mind, and he will bless. He will bless the house of Isra’el; he will bless the house of Aharon; 13 he will bless those who fear Adonai, great and small alike.
14 May Adonai increase your numbers, both yours and those of your children. 15 May you be blessed by Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth. 16 Heaven belongs to Adonai, but the earth he has given to humankind.
17 The dead can’t praise Adonai, not those who sink down into silence. 18 But we will bless Adonai from now on and forever.
Halleluyah!
Years ago I was on an intercession team and this was the One Word, the smooth stone that Abba gave to us. A well formed arrow that indeed hit the target. Change occurred immediately. All Glory, Praise and Honor to Abba in Yeshua (Jesus) Name!
This is His Word for today. That means that when you read this.. declare it! Speak it into your today. His Word is alive! He IS Faithful!
Hebrews 4:12 KJV For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
