Quote Of The Day:
Torah
Rediscovered – Berkowitz p. 145
If you are a
new creation in Messiah, these words (The Torah as given on Mt. Sinai) are not
just idle words for you, they are your life. Deut 32:47 In the same way Yeshua is your life the
words of Torah are your life. How can
that be? It is the only thing that can be true because the written Torah
and the living Torah are one and the same!
“And the Torah/Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” John 1:14
paraphrased
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Gleanings From Psalm 119
Vs. 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word
The Torah/Word was never meant to be a prison, but
a hiding place for the redeemed where within its walls of protection we are
kept safe from the evil that is in the world and found within that hedge of protection are all of the blessings
that Yahweh has to offer through Yeshua Ha Mashiach/Jesus The Messiah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly
pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of
great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of
deliverance. Selah.
Psalms 32:6-7 (KJV)
The Secret place of the Almighty is His
Torah/Word. We are hid in Messiah Yeshua who is the Living
Torah/Word.
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalms 91:1 (KJV)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ 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 Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Col 3:1-4 (KJV)
Vs. 115 Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the
commandments of my God (hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them)
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of
iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the
LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore
vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
Psalms 6:8-10 (KJV)
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto
me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the
sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and
thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate
thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count
them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try
me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked
way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalms 139:17-24 (KJV)
The Torah/Word is our Rock that we build upon,
there is no other place of safety or refuge except upon the Rock of His
Torah/Word.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I
never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built
his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was
the fall of it.
Matt 7:22-27 (KJV)
2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is
none beside thee: neither
is there any rock like our God.
1 Sam 2:2 (KJV)
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock,
and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of
my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from
violence.
2 Sam 22:2-3 (KJV)
30 For by thee I have run through a troop:
by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is
tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 For who is God, save the LORD?
and who is a rock, save our God?
2 Sam 22:30-32 (KJV)
1 Moreover,
brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were
under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all
baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all
eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all
drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that
Rock was Christ.
1 Cor 10:1-4 (KJV)
7 Unto you
therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be
disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head
of the corner,
8 And a stone of
stumbling, and a rock of
offence, even to
them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were
appointed.
1 Peter 2:7-8 (KJV)
Vs. 116 Uphold me according to Your promise, that I may
live: and let me not be put to shame in my hope!
His Torah/Word gives us hope. His Torah/Word is our weapon against the
evil one Ha Saten.
5 Lead me in thy
truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I
wait all the day.
Psalms 25:5 (KJV)
5 And hope
maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5 (KJV)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth,
and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.
11 For the
scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:8-11 (KJV)
The Whole Armour of God is His
Torah/Word.
10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
12 For we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places.
13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet
shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.
17 And take the
helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always
with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
