Jude 1:19-24
(AMP)
¹⁹ It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions—merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

This picture represents the inventors of the stylish blue Jeans sensation with holes in them. The only thing is, back then, the process took years of working on one’s knees to wear out the material, by rubbing their knees on the ground, from mourning to the night.

The Intercessor

Last Month the United States of America celebrated Black History Month, when the USA acknowledges Black inventors and Civil Rights leaders, doctors, lawyers, presidents, and all the other exceptional things we have achieved, but is there anyone who will celebrate the, excuse me, exactly who are you and what have you done?

“Greed and Selfishness; Sins of the Founding Fathers.”

Val Gunter: Editor

One of the greatest tragedies of the pulpit today is the scarcity of messages about equalizing and balancing the sufferings of strangers. Or, at least, to pray a prayer of an Intercessor, giving God the right to move at the voice of the Intercessor. The Earth is the place where the Intercessor creates a place for the Almighty to move.

If the men or women of God don’t create a place for ADONAI’S rule, then Satan creates a place for his Kingdom of Darkness, territories of injustice, human misery, and brutality.

• We should pray for the release and safety of the over three hundred girls kidnapped from schools in Nigeria.
• We should pray about reports of Children crossing the US borders traveling alone.
• We should pray about reports of the genocide of Christians in Ethiopia.
• We should pray about the Covid vaccine. It is rumored that one of the Covid vaccines is made with aborted fetus material, ask before you go. While we need an immunization, such rumors force some of us to ask the question and get an explanation so we understand before we make our choice. It’s a matter of us benefiting from a life stolen, Lord forgive us.

Some Roman Catholic leaders in the U.S. call Johnson & Johnson vaccine “morally compromised”

In December, the Vatican said that “it is morally unacceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses” in the research and production process when “ethically irreproachable” vaccines aren’t available to the public.

Pope Francis has frequently spoken about the need to ensure that vaccines are widely available, especially to the poor and marginalized.

We should love the way we want to be loved

The Children of Israel was a nation of Intercessors, who stood before God ministering to the Camp’s Fire, ADONAI the God of Light. Placing logs on the fire by Speaking into who the GOD of the Hebrew people were, ascribing greatness to His name.

The Intercessor Understands Bordering and Creating a Place for GOD’s Operations.

Praying for the unfortunate people who come under Satan’s control, the intercessor creates a place for God’s operations found in Mark 16:15 to take place without a struggle. Satan can’t ever resist God’s servants, who were sent.

ADONAI’S Laws were to prevent the Satanic stronghold from developing inside the commonwealth of Israel. The Satanic compromises were put outside the camp. Like any scavenger, Satan looks for the dead or dying to set up his field of operation. Just like any infectious disease, Satan defiles those who are familiar with sin. What the Church lost was the invaluable wisdom of the Word of GOD to surround Satan’s power of contamination. Satan contaminates the one-sided message of “Grace” and “Love.” What was brought into the pulpit was the blinding of the people who never wanted to serve GOD in the first place but just wanted HIS blessings.

Set marksmen who sigh and groan (intercessors) over all the abominations

Ezekiel 9:4-11
(AMP)
⁴ And the Lord said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in the midst of it.
⁵ And to the others He said in my hearing, Follow [the man with the ink bottle] through the city and smite; let not your eye spare, neither have any pity.
⁶ Slay outright the elderly, the young man and the virgin, the infant and the women; but do not touch or go near anyone on whom is the mark. Begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple [who did not have the Lord’s mark on their foreheads].
⁷ And He said to [the executioners], Defile the temple and fill its courts with the slain. Go forth! And they went forth and slew in the city.

⁸ And while they were slaying them and I was left, I fell upon my face and cried, Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all that is left of Israel in Your pouring out of Your wrath and indignation upon Jerusalem?
⁹ Then said He to me, The iniquity and guilt of the house of Israel and Judah are exceedingly great; the land is full of blood and the city full of injustice and perverseness; for they say, The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see [what we are doing].
¹⁰ And as for Me, My eye will not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their wicked doings upon their own heads.
¹¹ And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the ink bottle at his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as You have commanded me.

The Book of Ezekiel helps us to appreciate The Lord Jesus Christ for atoning for our sins, but some may have thought that Calvary was the final act in the plan of Salvation; at least that’s what we preach, perhaps the Jewish Bible could help us with the Jewish concept of the work of Christ.

Does God require human righteousness, after Calvary?

Romans 10:9-13
(Complete Jewish Bible 2016)
⁹  that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered. ¹⁰  For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance. ¹¹  For the passage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated. ¹²  That means that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile — ADONAI is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on him, ¹³  since everyone who calls on the name of ADONAI will be delivered.

Now it makes sense why the Book of Colossians says that our new reality in Christ the Jewish Messiah is the Holy Spirit bringing our flesh under the control of ADONAI. This is how ADONAI changes us into our new [spiritual self]. The path to righteousness is still through human behavior. This is not working for Salvation, this is obeying GOD’S Word.

Colossians 3:3-10
(AMP)
³ For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.
5 So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that, is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).
6 It is on account of these [very sins] that the [holy] anger of God is ever coming upon the sons of disobedience (those who are obstinately opposed to the divine will),
7 Among whom you also once walked, when you were living in and addicted to [such practices].
8 But now put away and rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!
9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices,
10 And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.

ADONAI is a protector of human Souls and never wants to eradicate mankind. It’s Human rebellion, however, that allows demonic counter-insurgency to siege the human territories and enslave individuals’ desires to give darkness the legal rights for the co-existence with man’s neglect to display Christ-like concerns.

Intercessors ascribe to ADONAI what is rightfully HIS through praise and worship. When we say, “LORD, you are strong and mighty,” we unlock those attributes in the spirit and in the Earth.

There are those who forgot what the Lord Yeshua, (Jesus of Nazareth) delivered us from, as the condition of a wrathful Creator and how HE responds to rebellion and injustice. The devil knows he is unable to get us to do drugs or drink alcohol, but to build up our one impairment and forget about injustice in our sphere of influence is the negligence of marching orders of Yahweh, God of the prophets.

“the land is full of blood and the city full of injustice and perverseness;“

The Intercessor Begins His Job

Matthew 5:17

¹⁷ Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill them.
¹⁸ For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook [identifying certain Hebrew letters] will pass from the Law until all things [it foreshadows] are accomplished.
¹⁹ Whoever then breaks or does away with or relaxes one of the least [important] of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jude 1:20-24 (Amplified)

²⁰ But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;
²¹ Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal.
²² And refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with you, and on some have mercy who waver and doubt.
²³ [Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality.
²⁴ Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—

Revelation 7:11-17
(AMP)
¹¹ And all the angels were standing round the throne and round the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] and the four living creatures, and they fell prostrate before the throne and worshiped God.
¹² Amen! (So be it!) they cried. Blessing and glory and majesty and splendor and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and might [be ascribed] to our God to the ages and ages (forever and ever, throughout the eternities of the eternities)! Amen! (So be it!)
13 Then, addressing me, one of the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin] said, Who are these [people] clothed in the long white robes? And from where have they come?
14 I replied, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they who have come out of the great tribulation (persecution), and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 For this reason they are [now] before the [very] throne of God and serve Him day and night in His sanctuary (temple); and He Who is sitting upon the throne will protect and spread His tabernacle over and shelter them with His presence.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun smite them, nor any scorching heat.
¹⁷ For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to the springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Isaiah 1:18-20
(NLT)
¹⁸ “Come now, let’s settle this,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
I will make them as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
I will make them as white as wool.
¹⁹ If you will only obey me,
you will have plenty to eat.
²⁰ But if you turn away and refuse to listen,
you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies.
I, the LORD, have spoken!”

(Jewish New Testament Commentary) David Stern
Read the JNT Introduction. It is an essential part of this Introduction to the JNTC. I do not repeat here what I wrote there. However, to stimulate interest and refresh memories I am listing its eight sections with brief annotated contents. The reader can see that it discusses a number of general issues that are inseparable from the subject matter of the JNTC.
1. Why the Jewish New Testament? The JNT is needed to show Jews and Christians alike that the New Testament is a Jewish book, to combat Christian antisemitism, to deal with Jewish misgivings about the Gospel, and to help heal history’s greatest schism-the separation between the Jewish Community and the Church.
  2. The Bible. Its central message is that man, both individually and corporately, has sinned and needs salvation; and that God graciously has provided it through Yeshua the Messiah to those who trust and obey Him. The Tanakh (Old Testament) and the New Testament are interdependent: two testaments, one Bible given to God’s people Israel, the Jews, to whom Gentiles are added without converting to Judaism when they trust in the God of Israel and His Messiah.

GRK: καὶ λέγων Μετανοεῖτε ἤγγικεν γὰρ
NAS: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven

Matthew 3:2
(Jewish New Testament Commentary)
The Greek word “metanoiete,” related to “nous” (“mind”), means “change your mind, have a complete change of heart.” The underlying Hebrew concept is expressed in the word “t’shuvah” (“turning, returning”), which in the context of religious behavior means “turning” from one’s sins and “returning” to God. Note that there is not only a “from” but a “to,” for turning from one’s sins is impossible unless at the same time one turns to God-otherwise one only turns from one set of sins to another! The Jewish understanding of repentance, correct on this point, is that each individual must do it, yet it requires God’s grace to be able to do it-“Turn us to you, O Adonai, and we will be turned” (Lamentations 5:21).
It is not without wisdom that a Jew raised with little knowledge of Judaism who later adopts an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle is termed a “ba’al-t’shuvah,” literally, a “master of repentance,” that is, one who has “turned” from his nonobservant ways and “returned” to an attempt at serving God in the manner prescribed by Orthodox Judaism. My heart’s desire is that all Jews become true ba’alei-t’shuvah through Yeshua the Messiah, and that all Christians become truly repentant as well (1 Yn 1:9).

17 “Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

18 For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished.

19 So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in heaven.

Adonai has a Plan to Reverse the Hurting and Reward the Broken.

Matthew 5:1-19
(AMP)
​¹ Seeing the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and when He was seated, His disciples came to Him.
² Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
³ Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
4 Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted!
5 Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth!
6 Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!
7 Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy!
8 Blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous—possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward conditions) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!
9 Blessed (enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they shall be called the sons of God!
10 Blessed and happy and enviably fortunate and spiritually prosperous(in the state in which the born-again child of God enjoys and finds satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of his outward conditions) are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake (for being and doing right), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
11 Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account.
12 Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
