🔥 Yom Shishah (Friday) | The Fire of Refinement

Image
Focus: Repentance and Preparing the Heart. As the sun rises on the final day of the workweek, we enter the most intense and beautiful part of our rhythm. Day six is the day of the Refining Fire . It is the day we prepare the sanctuary of our souls to receive the Sabbath tomorrow. Refining isn't about destruction; it's about removal. It's the process of heating the metal until the dross - the pride, the doubt, the divided loyalties - rises to the surface so it can be skimmed away, leaving only the pure reflection of the Creator. 🌅 Morning (Hearing Heart) Almighty YAH, refine my heart as silver is refined. Give me a hearing heart to accept Your correction, for Your reproof is the way of life. Let me not shrink from the heat of Your truth, but welcome it as the path to purity. "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life." ( Proverbs 6:23 ) 🥯 Mealtime (The Giver) Blessed are You, Elohim, who provides th...

Hebrew History 101 | Mark of the Beast | The Last Chain to Break | Seceding from the Slavemaster’s Surname

Image
This blogpost addresses the "Mark of the Beast" that many of us carry without even realizing it: the linguistic shackles of our surnames. We must understand that by keeping these names, we are unintentionally acting as the archivists of our own oppression . In the nations, a name is just a "label" or a "brand." In the Kingdom, a name is a Deed of Ownership . 1. The Branding of the "Human Asset" When our ancestors were brought through the "Iron Furnace" of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, they were stripped of their Hebrew lineages. In their place, they were given the names of the plantations and the families that "owned" them. We must realize that as long as we carry the surnames of the "New Kings" (Thomas, Green, Johnson, Jackson, etc.), we are walking around with the "Taskmaster's Branding" on our very identity. Reclaiming the Royal Name is the ultimate act of sovereign secession . The "Son of...

Navigating the Path | Discerning Elohim's Will in Relationships | Wisdom of the Hebrew Scriptures

Image
The heart is complex and easily influenced, especially when it comes to relationships and attractions. As truth-seekers, we desire to walk in Elohim’s (GOD’s) will, but how can we discern if a potential connection aligns with His purposes? While family and friends may offer invaluable guidance, the Hebrew Scriptures also provides a rich amount of wisdom for navigating these waters. 1. The Foundation of Elohim's Law: Our journey begins with the bedrock of Elohim's law. Deuteronomy 7:3-4 warns against intermarriage with foreign nations, not out of prejudice or racism, but to protect Israel from idolatry. "Neither shall you make marriages with them. Your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son. For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods." This principle reminds us that relationships should strengthen, not weaken, our devotion to Elohim (GOD). Application: Ask yourself, does this relationship draw ...
