I am here sitting and writing , I should be praying in tongues or reading the bible earnestly , it is 05:47 in the morning , the day will be starting soon . Keren hasn’t woke up yet , though the alarms were going off since 04:30 in our great zeal to rise early and seek the Lord . Yet the soul needs to show it’s true color in order to deal with the controversy and the crisis , if it doesn’t and you don’t deal with it , disaster is looming ahead . The awesome Grace is that God let’s us know of our emotional congestion and dysfunction . We must know what’s going on . There is always something going on in our soul. Especially if you have any dysfunction in the past , either with parents , ex spouses , mental imbalance , drug abuse or alcohol , you name it . For me it’s loneliness , knowing that I am loved . When I was 6 my parents , whom I dearly love , decided to leave me for a year with my grandparents because of financial problems , hoping it would help them cope ( I guess I ate too much or something! ) . So they left , without even telling me good bye by the way . I was sitting in a bath tub preparing for the flight back home ( from Ukraine to Kazakhstan ) when I heard sound of footsteps and a door shutting . I couldn’t believe it , I panicked , jumped out of the bath tub naked and ran to the door ! My grandma ran to hold me and put me back in the tub . I began crying and screaming “ Mama , Papa !! “ --- Abandonment --- what a terrible thing it is ! How sensitive we are as humans to the dynamics of it ! Anything can trigger that sense of loneliness and injustice . The enemy sets us up for years sometimes . Preparing the ground . Rejection here , rejection there , then he pulls the rug from under our feet and Bam ! We are on the floor ! And there is no one to lift us up. Just like my grandparents did , the first voices you will hear are the voices justifying the one who slammed you on the ground : “ Why , they love you , they just thought you might make a scene as you are doing now ! “ “ You can’t blame them !” “ THEY ARE DOING IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD ! “ . WOW!!!! What a TRAP! How are you supposed to get out of this one !? Amazing! Brilliant actually! It’s like Jezebel ( Izevel ) when she helped Ahab( Ahav) to get the piece of land in Jezreel ( Izrael ) , she accused Nabot the Carmelite ( Navot ha Carmeli ) of blasphemy while being the only righteous man in town , and got his land!!! Unbelievable right ? הרצחת וגם ירשתה?! Said the prophet to Ahab ! “ Have you murdered and also inherited ?! “ this should not be ! but the “king” of this world does it time and time again . Girls are being raped by their fathers and then ending up being ashamed of themselves for the rest of their lives . A man survives an accident feeling bad about not dying with the rest ! … It’s crazy alright , yet completely normal ... If it wouldn’t be for the sudden intervention of the Holy Spirit in the normality of the earthly life it probably would qualify as a type of Hell . In Hell there is no deliverance , there is no second chance ! Here we have the Grace given to us through the Son of God to lead us to repentance by The Spirit Who Is present here on earth… by Love , By Grace … not by force , not by guilt , not through fear and intimidation ! When I experienced the Holy Spirit I haven’t felt the awareness of Hell and how I offended God through my Sin … I had that all my life !!! … this time I knew that the Power I feel is SO real , that I realized that someone LOVES me !!! And it isn’t just anyone … this is GOD ! the One that made the Heavens and the Earth !!! Unbelievable !!! He Loves me ! and He is the Only one that ever Loved me , in fact I never felt love before , 19 years of death ! suddenly after waiting so long , hurting so long , I begin to live ! I guess it was worth it ! Though off coarse thoughts come like , if someone would dare to get to me with the Gospel before , things could have been better , tragedies could have been avoided , yet we should not cry over spilt milk ,it’s enough to just clean the floor and start over !
Psalm 27:1010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.King James Version (KJV)
Psalm 27:1010 Even though my father and mother have left me,ADONAI will care for me.Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Psalm 27:1010 Even if my father and mother abandoned me,
the LORD would take me in.New English Translation (NET)
PS: nice melody to listen to while reading and reflecting , pray The Spirit of Yeshua touches your inner man and awakes you to life and revives you wholly ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx1U6vqWizI

Love - be encouraged!
Love is not anxious about proving anything ,
Love is free , like the wind . humiliation a breeze brushing your face ,
freedom from anger from haste
- Love is also Power , power that breaks through , brings authority and decision.
Love leads , Love leads to Victory , with no Fear , no Pride , Love covers and protects .
What is Love and how can I be It - Let it Loose Me and let it set me free .
The Son sets free , the Word who was with God , The Utterance of God in manifested form WHO is Him , who is God, where the Spirit is there we can taste Liberty , there I can change ... change , transform , morph into a new being , a new creature , Love ! ....
In The moments you feel God is far from you, know this that God, Jesus, Yeshua is the same yesterday, today and forever! So He will not leave you nor forsake you! But do not stop there, as it is not enough to comfort yourself in saying ,''Well God is always there''! Speak to Him, open your mouth! call upon Him, take time to read the Word and Meditate, write your feelings and thoughts in a journal as if you are speaking to Him! You know God knows how to read too! Challenge God as Peter challenged Him when saying :'' Jesus if that's you let me walk to you on the water!'' He knew that ghosts cant cause men walk on water! So if your life is surrounded with water that seem to separate you from your Jesus, call to Him and ask Him to let you walk over the circumstances right over to Him, and if you start doubting call on Him again and cry HELP Lord ! and He will rescue you again and again! He is faithful and constant and merciful!

Sin is crouching at the door!
After some time with my Beloved Holy Spirit this morning , I was thinking about the prophetic word of warning from The Lord . Three examples came to my mind :
One is the time when the Word of God came to Kayin ( Cain )warning him from the sin that is seeking to trap and cause him to stumble.
Genesis 4:7
"If you are doing what is good, shouldn’t you hold your head high? And if you don’t do what is good, sin is crouching at the door — it wants you, but you can rule over it." Complete Jewish Bible
Second was The Word that came through Natan ( Nathan ) the prophet to David the King after he committed adultery with Uriah's wife and then assassinated him .
2 Samuel 12
1"Adonai sent Natan to David. He came and said to him, “In a certain city there were two men, one rich, the other poor..."CJB(make sure you read the rest of the chapter, don't be lazy!)
The Third example that again came to mind is the time Eliyahu the prophet came to Akh'av the King rebuking him for the murder of Navot the Yisra'elite .
1 Kings 21
""17 But the word of Adonai came to Eliyahu from Tishbe: 18 “Get up, go down to meet Ach’av king of Isra’el, who lives in Shomron. Right now he is in the vineyard of Navot; he has gone down there to take possession of it. 19 This is what you are to say to him: ‘Here is what Adonai says: “You have committed murder, and now you are stealing the victim’s property!” ’ Also say to him, ‘Here is what Adonai says: “In the very place where dogs licked up the blood of Navot, dogs will lick up your blood — yours!” ’” CJB
( By the way if you were wondering why am I using funny names you don't understand , it is simply to make sure you paying attention ...:-)check out the Complete Jewish Bible )
Did you notice the difference between the first example and the other two? And the similarity? I did too ! Isn't it interesting ?! There are few differences in fact. One clear difference is that The Lord came directly to Kayin and spoke to him , warning him , imploring him not to take the way of anger and jealousy , but to be alert and do right ! In the case of both David and Ach'av the Lord did not speak to them directly ,but through prophets. You know God could have sent Adam to speak to Kayin and convince him in the evil of his direction . And why hasn't God spoke to David directly , after all David had a very strong prophetic gift, just read the book of Psalms, many of the powerful Messianic prophesies are there like the one in Psalm 22. The other major difference I want to mention and is perhaps the reason I decided to write all this is the timing of The Word. But before I speak of this difference it is important to note that all three persons have sinned! Kayin, David and Ach'av fell , and all three committed murder! All three coveted and were envious of what the other had . Kayin coveted the favor and blessing of the Lord that came as spiritual approval and intimacy , David through yielding to the Lust of The Flesh desired the beauty of his servants' wife , Ach'av coveted the field of Navot The Yizraelite Hevel, Uriah and Navot were all righteous men! They were faithful, and all were victims of other servants of God! WOW! it is amazing the depth of God's Word! I will have to continue this next time as my 2 younger children ( Noakh 7 year old(Genesis 6:8) and Na'avah 5 year old(Psalm 147:1-delightful and how fitting, it is pleasant and praise is becoming) ) and they are running around the house with our dog Sunny the Bichon Frise and acting very "nonspiritual". I am off today to spend time with our four children as they are off from school for the Passover Feast and it is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with Daddy :) . So please come back next time and we will continue our discussion about the Word of The Lord as He comes to us to lead us and bring us closer to Him and His Kingdom!----- Please comment and write your perspective on the above ------- Blessings

Missing You - a message to the prodigal moments in our relationship with The Father
My Child
Where are you?
Hiding in the Forest?
I am walking in the cool of the day ,
looking for and missing you
Here you are , but you don't see Me
here I am to dry your tears
you hide like a wounded animal
waiting for your healing to come
My Heart is bleeding for my beloved
My beloved who's in pain
I wait for you to reach out
to open your eyes and see that I am here
closer then a shout
a whisper of the heart
I am here to draw out the dart
I know you miss me, I know hurt
I know you are tired of eating the dirt
you have nothing to lose, but the noose
around your neck
Stand up, deliver your self
from the noises from the voices
of all those who "know"
they want you to "flow"
but your heart is sick and I will heal
Your mind is weak and I am still
The Storm that's raging
Peace will come and you will live
Again the hope will flourish
the freshness of the Love will fill
your inner being overflow with Living Water
And joy and dancing conquer death and sadness
My Child
Where are you?
Hiding in the Forest?
I am walking in the cool of the day ,
looking for and missing you
I miss you

"Trust In The Lord with all your Heart"
"Trust In The Lord with all your Heart"
Proverbs 3:5-6
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in The Lord (יהוה) with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."
Sounds easy right? Yes it does sound easy, but it is not easy to do!
Why is it so hard? Well because it pulls the carpet from under our survival instincts. The verse says : " ..Trust...with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding..." . This makes the modern man so perplexed. Heart, understanding... what's the difference?! How do you discern , when is it that you Trust God with all your HEART and when it is that you are leaning and relying on YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING? Well I believe that even when we cannot explain intellectually or theologically at least intuitively we must sense the meaning of both, otherwise the Lord would not give us those instructions.
There is a difference between the understanding of our mind and soul and the function of the heart.
In 1 John 4:18 it says : "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love." I believe that fear comes from our understanding and love comes from the heart. You cannot love from your understanding! Your understanding is a database, a database of all you experiences and information you gathered in your life. If we study the science of the human brain and psychology we will find that our understanding is not objective. Our database produces decisions upon not only facts and unfortunately this is the usual theological teaching.
Understanding many time blurs our vision, but through the heart we can connect to the clear vision of things as God sees them! God is objective, God is stable, God doesn't have childhood traumas that make him be impulsive and subjective in his behavior. Unfortunately we are not as God and therefore our decisions are subjective and impulsive and in fact not based on true facts of the earthly and off course the heavenly realities. Therefore we must connect to this place called "the heart" and let it kick in. When fear comes, doubt unbelief, anger, jealousy and all the works of the flesh, connect to your heart and let it trust The Lord with all that is in it.
God has a good plan for you! He wants to heal your soul and save it and help it to be aligned with your heart. Your compassion, your love, even your brokenness, they all come from your heart. No one sheds tears from his "understanding". Today, I encourage you to go on a quest after your heart. This journey might be the most painful but most rewarding non the less. Live your life without fear, believe in God's Love for you and His desire to strengthen you, comfort you and sanctify you.
He is the most Awesome One you can encounter, but in His Grace He wants to enter your heart and live there and cause you to Trust Him to see Victory in your life, Peace and bring light to others around you. Those who look they shall find, Jesus said. I pray that you would discover the way to your heart and learn to Trust in Him and not on your own understanding.

The Mezuzah verses - Shma Israel
Few of the Jews kissing with their hands the little box filled with a tiny scroll actually read or remember what it actually says. Below is the English translation reminding us the importance of remembering God's commands .
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one![a] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
New King James
Version (NKJV)
13 ‘And it
shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today,
to love the Lord your God and
serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then I[a] will give you the rain for
your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may
gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 And I will
send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ 16 “Take heed
to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other
gods and worship them, 17 lest the Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He
shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce,
and you perish quickly from the good land which theLord is giving
you.
18 “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in
your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they
shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 You shall teach them to your
children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the
way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 20 And you shall write them on
the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 that your days and the days of
your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lordswore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the
earth.Tuesday, December 16, 2014
"My Jesus" a poem
My Jesus
My Jesus is full of forgiveness
My Jesus is full of Love
Glory to Him in the Highest
Praises to Him on the Earth
He has taken me from the ashes
Rescued me from my enemies' claws
I was weak
I was weary and wounded
and He lifted me up
crowning me with His Glory
gave His New Wine to drink up
Washing my feet with Hope's water
Cleansing me with His hyssop
He has caused my heart to will and to do
To want Him and Love Him
He is wonderfully worthy
He has taught me submission and the beauty of Grace
He has given me the Mission
To show them His Face
The Face of my Jesus
Full of Mercy and Grace
The Face of my Jesus
The Image of Love
He is Love
He is Life
He is Beauty
He has given me the Mission
To show them His Face
The Face of my Jesus
Full of Mercy and Grace
The Face of my Jesus
The Image of Love
He is Love
He is Life

He is more than just "jesus"
Who could even comprehend
He gave Himself to us
His Feet and His Hands
My Jesus is the Alpha
and He is The Omega
The essence of all the beginnings
The fulfillment of all that should end
Who could even comprehend
He gave Himself to us
His Feet and His Hands
My Jesus is the Alpha
and He is The Omega
The essence of all the beginnings
The fulfillment of all that should end
May I find Him and seek Him
Pour my tears on His feet
Anoint Him with most precious of oils
With my worship to crown

Pour my tears on His feet
Anoint Him with most precious of oils
With my worship to crown
His sweet Head
My Hope and my Glory
My Refuge and Strength
No one can take me away from my Jesus

Whatever was given
Whatever was taken
I shall not be afraid
From the terror by night
And the arrows flying by day
My Refuge and Strength
No one can take me away from my Jesus
Though the seas may have raged
And the mountains have shaken
Whatever was given
Whatever was taken
I shall not be afraid
From the terror by night
And the arrows flying by day
Yes this is the day
And yes this is the hour
To reclaim the lost glory
To retake the lost power
And yes this is the hour
To reclaim the lost glory
To retake the lost power

In His Name is the Fame
For He has saved
His People From their iniquities
From their fall
From their frailties
In His Blood is The Power
In His Love we'll take pleasure
By His Grace take the Now
We'll discover The Treasure
And perform sacred Vow
Yes it is in The Name
In His Name is the Fame
For He has saved
His People From their iniquities
From their fall
From their frailties
Oh how sweet is the sound
It's indeed so amazing
As I fall to the ground
At The Glory I'm gazing
In the deepest of worship
I cry out with my voice
It is well with my soul
I was lost oh my Lord
Was so lost in my sin
And today I was found
It's indeed so amazing
As I fall to the ground
At The Glory I'm gazing
In the deepest of worship
I cry out with my voice
It is well with my soul
I was lost oh my Lord
Was so lost in my sin
And today I was found
I was dead in my sins
And in LOVE

How's Your Spiritual Maintenance?
How's Your Spiritual Maintenance?
"The cares and anxieties of the world, and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless."(Mark 4:19)
Did you know that the seemingly innocent things in your everyday life can suffocate your spiritual life if you allow it?
A friend of mine said that while spending time in prayer he realised that this culture had become a culture of maintenance men. you have so many things to maintain, you maintain your house. You maintain your car, your yard, your machines, your hair....
It's true. You can become a maintainer of so many natural things that you don't have any time left to maintain your own spirit!
When you find yourself in that situation, it's time to simplify your life. I've had to learn that myself. Now when I'm considering something I think I need, I don't just count the cost in dollars and cents. I think about how much time it will take to maintain it. I check to see if I can spiritually afford it.
Second Timothy 2:4 says, "Don't get entangled in the affairs of this life." One thing I've learned : Nothing is as important as spending time in prayer and in the Word with the Father. Absolutely nothing in my life is as vital as that.
Scripture Study: Mark 4:18-24
And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
21 And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.

"While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. 12 So He said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. 13 “And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business with this until I come back.’ Luke 19:11-13 NASU

"Dare to Step Out"
"Dare to Step Out"
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you."(1 Peter 5:6)
God can take the most simple person in the world who will dare to believe what is written in the Word, and empower him to do any job he is called to do. I know this because God did that for me and many people I know. The reason I'm so blessed today is because I am so simple that I believe God is smarter than I am. When I see something in the Bible that doesn't agree with what I think, I change what I think and believe the Word of God. Jesus admonished us to come as little children. So do that. Humble yourself and just take the Word as it is written. If God says you'll do the works, don't argue, just agree with Him and get busy! Say, "Father, Jesus said, 'He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also' (John 14:12). I don't know how to do the works, but Your Word says I will. So I place myself at Your disposal. I expect to do the works that Jesus did!" Then step out boldly and act on your faith. The bolder we are, the more power can be released through us. Did you know that? It's when we hesitate and are afraid of what people might think that nothing happens. So make up your mind now to be bold-whether you want to or not. That's how it works. But you have to take the first step. Do what the Bible says to do whether you feel like it or not. That's called acting on the Word! And that's called faith!
Scripture Study: Matthew 18:1-5
"At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said,“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives Me..."

I am a tree
I am a tree
Tall and proud
the wind of God playing with my hair
Like the giant oaks I sway
moving to the rhythm of the sun
stable, grasping my foundation
upon my roots I stand
no rain, no storm can move me
through the rock my tentacles have pierced
God gives me Power to Succeed
I am a tree
Standing tall
The Spirit of the Holy One breath Life into my heart
My leaves move to the voice of His Breath
Tall and Proud I rise
My roots go deep, they drink the waters
Stronger I become as time goes by
I am a tree
and when I'll fall
surely I will be resureccted
And thrive forever in His Arms
I am a tree
Tall and proud
the wind of God playing with my hair
Like the giant oaks I sway
moving to the rhythm of the sun
stable, grasping my foundation
upon my roots I stand
no rain, no storm can move me
through the rock my tentacles have pierced
God gives me Power to Succeed
I am a tree
Standing tall
The Spirit of the Holy One breath Life into my heart
My leaves move to the voice of His Breath
Tall and Proud I rise
My roots go deep, they drink the waters
Stronger I become as time goes by
I am a tree
and when I'll fall
surely I will be resureccted
And thrive forever in His Arms
I am a tree
