Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! I pray you had a restful Thanksgiving, Shabbat, & weekend. Well let's dive in: As a believer and follower of Yah of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I (and you) are grafted into Israel by the blood of the Messiah Yeshua. We are no longer gentiles. Ephesians 2:12-13 (If you are a follower/disciple of Yeshua you too, are grafted into Israel and have crossed over as a Hebrew into new life in Yeshua)
Also a 》mixed multitude went up with them《, along with the flocks, herds and heavy livestock. Exodus 12:38 TLV ♡The same Torah applies to the native as well as the outsider who dwells among you.♡ Exodus 12:49 TLV Gentiles, who once were far off and without hope, have now been brought near by Messiah's blood. Romans 11 explains how we are grafted into Israel, then you are no longer an alien/stranger/gentile, but one who sojourns with Israel. Context is everything when dividing the Truth contained in Scripture. In Romans 11, Paul compares Israel to the natural branches of the olive tree (v. 19a). The former gentile believers are compared to the wild olive tree (v. 19b) having been grafted into the natural tree. What does scripture say? For Adonai will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers— when you listen to the voice of Adonai your God, to keep His mitzvot and His statutes that are written in this scroll of the Torah, when you turn to Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul. “For this mitzvah that I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off. It is not in the heavens, that you should say, ‘Who will go up for us to the heavens and get it for us, and have us hear it so we may do it?’ Nor is it across the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross over for us to the other side of the sea and get it for us, and have us hear it so we may do it?’ No, the word is very near to you—in your mouth and in your heart, to do it. Deut. 30:10-14 TLV
and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” 2 Cor 6:16-18 TLV

Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! Adults and children alike need "training in righteousness." Discipline, training, and instruction can take various forms. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, my husband and I, like to put training into application & practice for the kids. Our children are a blessing given to us by Yah and it is our commanded opportunity to: train them, teach them, & disciple them in His ways.
So, recently our children have become quite argumentative and focused on *self* rather than each other. This is quite typical of the human condition= sinful.
So I thought to myself: How can I correct AND teach them? We discussed it as a family one day prior to the start of school and they contributed their ideas, as well after, reviewing scripture:
This is what we came up with together: Each child is responsible for giving 3 compliments, words of encouragement, affirmations to their other 2 siblings. (training in the power of the tongue, Prov 18:21) ALONG WITH 2 acts of kindness each day. ( But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. James 1:22 TLV) To keep track I created a Microsoft Word document. This is a real life application to help them APPLY the Word in daily life by being: thoughtful, an encouragement, kind, loving etc One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to train in character development (Fruits of the Spirit) and Biblical apologetics among others. I hope sharing this has in some way encouraged or helped one of you! This is just as easily applied to yourself as a practice exercise/application of the Word. As adults, we too, can set the goal (whatever # you prefer to use) to complete: 3 acts of kindness daily and speak 3-5 encouraging/uplifting things to those around us (be it our children, husband, co-workers, friends etc) These are Biblical applications that can always be in practice whether adult or child.

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! I am blessed to have a: God- loving, Bible- reading, masculine, husband who is leading our family in the Word. Godly masculinity is A BLESSING! Circumstances may vary by family but: he provides for his family, disciplines his children, and teaches them the Word and loves his wife as Yeshua loves the church-- washing her in the water of the Word. Our culture aims to feminize men in another effort to tear down the family unit. Godly masculinity is positively Biblical and needed. Men in Messiah need to #RiseUp and take their place as: leader, guardian, providers, and protectors of their family not just in the physical sense but in the ideological sense of what you're children are being taught and absorbing through media and in schools... AND in the spiritual sense as well. Pray over your children and family. Lead them to the Word and through the Word. AMEN!

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! The Proverbs 31 woman is often the role model for women in scripture. She is: a wife of respect, mother, virtuous, diligent, kind, gentle, wise, a teacher etc. This generation has largely lost even the drive to attain these traits in the home and for our families. We need to bring these values back, and for every woman who is a wife and mother to want the well-being of her household 1st. Family before career. Father's and husbands have their own set of responsibilities and failures to account for before Yah. Judgment starts in the house of Yah. "For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God" 1Pet 4 :17 TLV But today my focus is on women, wives, and mothers. This ultra man-hating feminist movement has done much damage to: women, children, men, and the family unit. This woman is godly: She opens her mouth with wisdom-- a lesson of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and bless her, her husband also praises her... Prov 31: 26-28 TLV She does not spend the majority of her time being idle on foolish or empty tasks, talk. But instead puts her mind and hands to things that edify, and build up her family, and bless the less fortunate. What is seen is a woman being productive, adding value to the lives of those around her. She sees the bigger picture of the needs of those in her household and knows what is going on and how her children are doing in every area. She is able to leave a positive trail in their lives and teach them according to the Word and where they are because she is involved. She has the ability to do what she says she will do. "But let your "yes" be "yes" and your "no" be "no".... MT 5:37 TLV This woman is not idle... She is busy. She provides. She teaches with a lesson of kindness on her tongue. She extends her hands to the poor. She opens her mouth with wisdom. She watches over the affairs of her household. She fears Adonai. Mother's you are on the FRONT LINE in the war for our children. It is time to re-prioritize. The majority of women have fallen right in line with the larger culture in pursuing a career 1st over family. The prov 31 woman made money as well. Women can work and be a help meet to their husband with income etc. But it should be prioritized around her still being the primary caretaker raising the children. The government run schools are not going to instill godly, Biblical principles in your children. *If you are a single mother or widow under special/extenuating circumstances- those situations must be addressed individually. * "Love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These words, which I am commanding you today, are to be on your heart. You are to teach them diligently to your children, and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up." Deut 6: 6-7 TLV Teaching and raising our children is OUR responsibility. The lack of doing so has led to the decline of morality and civility as we see it today. A lack of masculinity and femininity. A lack of self respect. A lack of godliness and character. A fulfillment of 2 Tim 3: 2-7: "people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, hardhearted, unforgiving, backbiting, without self-control, brutal, hating what is good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to an outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people! For among these are those who slip into households and deceive weak women weighed down with sins, led away by various desires, always learning yet never able to come to the knowledge of truth." Time to rise up and bring about Kingdom Culture. Let us be about our King's business and not our own. THIS IS THE TRIBE OF THOSE WHO BELONG TO MESSIAH: TAKE PART: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Once you were “not a people,” but now you are “God’s people.” You were shown “no mercy,” but now you have been shown “mercy.” Loved ones, I urge you as strangers and sojourners to keep away from the fleshly cravings that war against the soul. 1 PET 2:9-11 TLV RELATED LINK: Chosen, Holy nation..... 1 PET 2:9-11 TLV - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13 |
