Shabbat June 18, 2022
Shalom Mishpacha!
You might think that the days we are living in, I usually call them “crazy” or “insane” days, but today I will just use a Biblical term “perilous” to describe them, are unparalleled in human history, but really they are not. Throughout Scripture the Prophets and apostles describe similar times of great peril but always declare and explain for us how we are to live as overcomers in the midst of the chaos and violence surrounding us. Isaiah lays out a similar scenario in chapter 6 as he describes the vision he had and his interaction with the angelic hosts. The king of Judah had just died, the people were adrift and had wandered away from the ways of God. Three things transpired in this vision: He saw Adonai “high and lifted up” in all His glory; He recognized his and the people’s sinfulness, “For I am a man of unclean lips … dwelling among a people of unclean lips”; he received cleansing and forgiveness and a new commission! Today, with all the incredible shaking and upheaval taking place, our King and Heavenly Father is awakening His true bride, cleansing and preparing us and saying again, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” It is time for us to respond in the same way Isaiah responded, “Hineni” … here am I, send me! Yes, these are days of great peril, but we are His ambassadors to planet earth, so lets walk in His authority and power and complete the assignments He has given us!
This Shabbat June 18th we will be continuing on the theme of being GIANT SLAYERS and will be looking at the second part of Aligning with God … Remembering His Promises! A few weeks ago we focused on listening to God, and how God desires to speak to His covenant children but the problem is, are we listening? We learned how we can prepare ourselves for how to hear Him clearly, and come into alignment with Him. This week's message about trusting the promises of God will be one of the most important messages we can implement. Come on up to the mountain this Shabbat, worship with us and enjoy the fellowship with each other!
After the service, WE WILL BE HAVING AN ONEG POTLUCK, SO BRING A DISH AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE FAMILY! The weather has been great up here and it’s actually cooler than in the city!
Next week, we will be welcoming Scott Volk, a well known Messianic Jewish speaker and founder of Together For Israel Ministry to Or Chaim. It will be a great service, so invite your friends and expect good things and fresh revelation!
We look forward to seeing all of you!
