No, Not One!

      Rabbi Michael Ber Weismandl discovered a previously unidentified pattern in the Torah. He identified that the word torah is spelled out at 49 letter intervals.There are quite a few people who argue that this is a coincidence. Which means this ‘coincidence’ occurs 5 times, once within each book.In the Book of Genesis and Exodus, we find the word torah at 49 letter intervals revealed in the text of Chapters 1 in each book, from left to right. In the Books of Numbers and Deuteronomy, the word torah is revealed at 49 letter intervals embedded in the text in Chapters 1 of each book, from right to left. (See diagrams below). 

     Some of you may have been shown this before. Some of you may be seeing this for the first time. Either way, since we are studying the Torah, I want you to be aware of it in order to make up your own minds as to what you see and decide the significance of the observation. Is this coincidence or a message bearing divine providence? 

God's Path To Deliverence

     Understanding the meaning behind verses can be vital for memorization and growth. The world tries to twist the definition of words and deeds slowly over time, making it less likely that you will notice. Let me start by saying that this world’s entire concept of dating sets you up for failure.  People have forgotten that we all have to work together to survive and thrive.

     The Beatitudes reveal God’s plan and path for receiving His Blessings. They consist of declarations that Jesus speaks over us. The power of speaking The Word aloud is often misunderstood and undervalued. The Word of God is alive; these statements infuse you with positive energy.

     In the NKJV Matthew 5:1-12 says, “The Beatitudes: And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.  Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

     Pray for yourselves and others, embracing God’s declaration for your life, and watch how your perspective changes. You will achieve more than you ever believed possible; you’ll accomplish what God knows is possible - that’s a huge difference!

https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-stories/beatitudes-bible-verses-and-meaning.html “The Beatitudes: List and Verse Meaning Explained: The Beatitudes, found in the Gospel of Matthew (5:3-12), are a set of teachings delivered by Jesus Christ during the Sermon on the Mount. These verses outline a series of blessings highlighting the qualities and attitudes valued in the Kingdom of Heaven. "Beatitudes" is derived from the Latin word "beatus," meaning blessed or happy. Each Beatitude begins with "Blessed are," followed by describing a specific virtue or circumstance that leads to divine favor.”

     Salvation involves accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, while sanctification is the process of becoming holy or more like Jesus. The Beatitudes are a cause and effect showing what to expect along the path from salvation to sanctification. 

     Try thinking of it this way… When you are poor in spirit, you recognize your desperate need for Jesus; understanding this, the kingdom of heaven becomes yours. Repentance for your sinful nature towards God produces a deep mourning in your soul. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell in your heart to comfort and guide you. This cultivates the humble meekness that enables you to inherit peace here on Earth. As you hunger and thirst for God’s righteousness, He fills you with mercy until it overflows onto others. This purifies your heart, allowing you to experience God’s Ten Commandments as a form of protection, not prevention. Others will notice your new identity in Christ, and it will convict them of their own sin. Their jealousy of the gift you have received will drive them to persecute you because of your love for Jesus.

     It's living the story from sanctification to deliverance that allows you to see your brokenness as The Gift you needed to be humble enough to want a better life. The devil tries to keep you in submission to the sins of this world, but God turns that around for our good by picking up our broken pieces and forming the masterpiece we were meant to be.

     I was unaware of the distinction between sanctification and deliverance. As I focused on my health by eating more nutritious foods and fasting, I felt a growing closeness to Jesus. Each problem I addressed seemed to uncover two more. The more I subdued my flesh, the stronger my desire to continue became. Every area of my life seemed to be moving at an incredibly fast pace. It felt as though every facet of my life was unraveling until one morning, I awoke to an unexpected transformation. I was rapidly embracing humility.

     I realized that I wasn’t angry with the people who had hurt me in the past. By letting go of the painful parts of my life, I found a profound sense of joy and gratitude. Now, as I reflect on those experiences, I feel a sense of sadness for them instead. Deliverance is when sin and evil lose their power over us as we serve God; it horrifies the devil! Instead of spending my day complaining, I was worshipping. The praise music on the radio fueled my soul. I could feel it bringing life back into me.

     Instead of waking at 3 am to complain, I now grab a cup of coffee, sit on the deck, and ask God what He wishes to share with me. I often spend hours out there, refilling my cup and scrolling through my phone, which is how I came across a Facebook clip about Deliverance. I listened and commented, realizing we’ve all been through that, time and again. I stood up while looking at my phone, then sat back down, pacing as I listened. When the clip ended, I was utterly shocked to realize that I had been delivered. Why couldn’t anyone see what was happening to me and inform me? 

     I ordered the suggested book by Frank Hammond online and waited until morning. I called several people, and each one exclaimed, " You mean Pigs In The Parlour? " Yes, he’s the leading commentator on deliverance. Who knew?

     I went to the Lionheart Ministries website and read through the Deliverence Section . https://lionheartchurch.org/innerhealing/

     This is what is says, “Pillars Of Deiverance: Inner Healing Ministry Description. We use a simple but systematic approach when it come to partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring about healing.. The purpose of this partnership is to identify and destroy any spiritual legalities that are active in a person’s life, preventing the forward movement and success of their Christian walk. Specifically, there are seven fundamental problem areas that are addressed as they are interconnected with stagnation:

• Ungodly Beliefs: Lies or faulty beliefs are other names for Ungodly Beliefs. They are a system of thoughts, attitudes, decisions,      judgments, vows and expectations that we have developed that are contrary to God’s word, nature, integrity and character. Ungodly beliefs can be inherited from our family, formed from the facts of our experiences, and developed after experiencing heart wounds or traumatic events.
• Generational Curses are sins of our forefathers (ancestors) that can be traced by the patterns, habits and deeds that have been passed down, inherited, observed and practiced from one generation to another. These curses imprisoned and enslaved us to walk in the sin patterns of our ancestors. In other words, they produce pressure to sin in particular areas. Ask Holy Spirit to help identify the root ancestral issues and generational curses.
• A Heart Wound is the negative effects of trauma that may have occurred from isolation, emotional, verbal, sexual, spiritual,      mental, financial, psychological and physical abuse. Severe traumas may cause shock to the brain that block out painful past memories as a defense mechanism. This is one reason individuals are not able to remember parts of their childhood. The lasting effects of a Heart Wound can cause a person to remain stuck or broken in a particular area of his/her life. This further prevents any advancement in their lives because the fragmented parts of that person’s soul has never been healed or properly developed, potentially since childhood.
• Ungodly Soul Ties can be defined as a binding or knitting together of a person’s soul with another’s soul. This involves all sexual relationships outside of God’s biblical covenant for marriage, including premarital sex with one’s spouse. Ungodly soul ties are unhealthy and toxic relationships where people have an excessive amount of authority, influence, control, etc. in your life. In some instances, that person became an idol: taking the place of God in the life of the believer. Some examples that an ungodly soul tie might be in effect include: gravitating towards a person for approval or validation have an unhealthy desire to please someone being codependent taking on false responsibilities (i.e. caring for someone while neglecting your personal needs and desires) These      ungodly soul ties can sway our decisions to serve these people more than we serve God (unconsciously) due to fear, intimidation, codependency or admiration.
• Word curses are any negative proclamations or declarations spoken over you by someone with spiritual or relational authority in your life or they may be spoken by self. Word curses are usually birthed from a carnal place that utter offensive words or phrases in anger, annoyance, sarcasm or frustration which may leave an undesirable      feeling of internal conflict, discouragement or confusion. Once these      words are released and believed the receiver is empowered to walk them out.
• Bitter Root Judgments are condemning opinions, conclusions or      evaluations that we have formed about others’ heart motives after an offense has occurred. In most cases when we pronounce judgments they are inaccurate because we do not have all the information surrounding a situation. These judgments are formed from our hurt, offense, inability or refusal to forgive a person; therefore we desire them to be pronounced guilty consciously or unconsciously. You are impacted and affected by the bitter root judgments toward others because we reap what we sow. When we judge others we are guaranteed a harvest of judgment back into our life because of the spiritual law of “reaping and sowing” with the measure you give out it will be return to you. In other words; when you judge you release a spiritual boomerang that causes you and the people close to you to walk in the very thing you judged.
• Inner Vows are promises, oaths or swearing that we have made to ourselves, as a defense mechanism, in hope of controlling life’s circumstances to prevent hurtful situations from reoccurring. They      can also be made out of unforgiveness, self-hate, self-righteousness,      pride, wounded and unconsciously judgmental heart; putting the receiver’s spiritual growth at risk. Inner vows are a fleshly attempt to defend or protect self and others. These commitments are birthed from a carnal place excluding the assistance or partnership of the Holy Spirit.”

     The Bible says that when you seek God with all your heart, you will find Him. The Bible doesn’t lie. Therefore, it’s impossible to win Him over through your own efforts. God must wait patiently until you are broken enough to be ready to be molded. This happens when you cry out to Jesus to save you. 

Parents understand the despair of wishing for their children to return home. The wait is grueling!

     In the NKJV Jeremiah 29:11-14 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listento you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity.”

     I understand that time can be tight, and it’s important to find a church that truly aligns with your values. Supporting a church that selects verses based on current trends may not be the best choice for you. You deserve a place that embraces the full message of the Bible, ensuring that every single word is shared from beginning to end, so nothing is misinterpreted. 

     A church’s doctrines should align with the Ten Commandments. The Bible warns against contradictions, especially during the End Times. Ultimately, you are accountable for what you choose to accept. Attending a church solely because it condones your sins raises the question: what purpose does it serve?           Even if you feel no remorse now, death will come, and regrets will inevitably ensue. You’ll wish someone-anyone-to have urged you to read the Bible in its entirety and abide by its teachings. 

     This is what Google AI Overview said when I asked about the role of the church in the last days…

     “In the last days, the church's role is to focus on missions, living holy lives, and preparing for the coming of Christ, while also being a beacon of hope and doing good to others. 

     Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Focus on Missions: The church should prioritize sharing the gospel with the world, as Jesus commanded in Matthew 24:14, and as demonstrated in the book of Acts. 

Live Holy Lives: Believers are called to live holy and godly lives, reflecting the character of Christ and preparing for His return. 

Prepare for the Coming of Christ: The church should be aware of the signs of the end times and be ready for the Lord's return, which will be like a thief in the night. 

Do Good to Others: Christians are called to practice holiness and do good to others wherever and whenever they can, working the works of God while it is day. 

Be a Beacon of Hope: In a world filled with difficult times and challenges, the church should be a source of hope and encouragement, offering a message of salvation and eternal life. 

Be Aware of Religious Deception: The church needs to be aware of religious deception and false teachings that may arise in the last days. 

Be Prepared for Persecution: The church should be aware that persecution of believers may increase in the last days.”
