-Absolute Designation of Shalum-

          


          How long will it be until those that confess to believe on the Word of YHUH understand that the circumstances, elements, countries, peoples, nations, kingdoms, and anything else that you can name ARE ALL SUBJECT TO HIS NAME AND HIS WORD.

           If you will not believe then surely you will not be established.

           Remember, YHUH knows how to deliver the Righteous. Didn't He make iron to float? Was not the sea and the river opened by His Hand for His people to cross over? The fire had no power over the bodies those that trusted in Him. Lions mouths were shut for the sake of His servant.

           The earth and all that is there in belongs to YHUH. Land, sea, air, and all things obey Him; He has ordained a day in which the wicked and all that rebel will be judged.

           Trusting Him is the absolute designation of Shalum.

-Chadash Covenant-








The time has come that there must be same to grow up into the mature ways that YH YHUH desires for us to walk in. Children frequently do not want to be taken away from the breast; it is hard for them to give up the milk when it is all that they have known. Weaning a child is not a pleasant thing for the youngster to endure, but often when the task is finally achieved there is much celebration, and a feast is usually prepared by the father to memorialize the event.

YHUH delivering His Word one regulation at a time, and measuring out the Truth of the Almighty with a measuring-line a little bit at a time is a wonderful act by our Father in Shamym. It is the equivalent to feeding a child with their mother’s milk from the breasts. But now comes the hard questions; is that where our Father YH wants us to stay? Is His desire for us that He continually hand feed us regulations such as, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”? Let’s examine quickly that one command we just quoted and try to comprehend what the fulfillment of it may look like. Then we might understand what it means to go from milk to strong food.

From the outside many people seem to guard this command, although in the times we live in fewer and fewer care to even know that it is there at all. But if I live with my wife and never touch another woman I appear to be both guarding and fulfilling this command, right? Well, let’s not judge things quite so fast. YHUH does not see as man sees, man can only look from the outside in but YH YHUH sees everything, He looks at the heart. If I am then going to truly Guard and fulfill this command I need to be aware of how YH YHUH our Alhym looks at things. Mashack (Messiah) revealed this commandment to us so let’s examine what He showed about His Father’s will.



Mashack did not alter or change the command at all but rather exposed what the strong food of the command tasted like. The depth of His definition didn’t merely cover an outward behavior but excised the veil of the flesh to expose the inner most part of the man. He plainly showed that a man should be one with his wife not only on the outside but from the inside all the way out. Praise YHUH!

Understanding this one principle is the key to where our Father wants us to walk when we grow up into His Word. Many view the Turah (Law) as a set of instructions to be honored from the outside. It could be compared to the way someone might honor the laws of a country or state but might not necessarily have to appreciate or agree with them. For example one might obey the seed limit while driving but might not agree or ever even comprehend why they should have to drive a certain speed at all. They drive the speed limit because they don’t want to get a ticket. Many try to guard the Turah in the same way, merely doing it in order to keep out of trouble. The command must start from the inside of a man and then the outside will follow also.

This is where the “letter of the Law” is weak. I know there is someone already mad at me for what I just wrote but wait just a moment and hear what is being said before you judge a thing. I am not speaking evil of the “letter of the Law”. What I am trying to convey is that there are no letters in the heart of a man and that’s where YH YHUH wants His Word to live.



The example above shows the hypocritical nature of those pretending to guard the Turah of YHUH by merely trying to keep the “letter of the Turah”. A person may achieve the appearance of righteousness but in truth it will always be just a fancy paint job covering up a room full of decaying corpses. The solution given to this awkward condition is to “first cleanse the inside of the cup and platter that the outside of them may be clean also.”

Yashr’Al found themselves in this condition many times, trying to fulfill the Turah from the outside in. The results were always the same, sooner or later the sink of failure makes the noses of all that pass by wrinkle up at the odor. So given that the condition of a man’s heart is “deceitful above all things” (YaramYHU 17:9), how can the Turah of YHUH prosper in such a wicked place? Let’s take a look at what our Father has said concerning this.



There are some that deny this Scripture all together saying that there is no “New Covenant” but rather the Scripture is saying a “Renewed Covenant”. I went along with this error for some time until I reexamined what was being spoken to me by our Father. First, look at the word translated “new”, that is the word many say means renewed. Let’s inspect what it actually the definition of the word and how it is used in other scriptures.

The word is H2319, chadash, defined as new, new thing, fresh. I suppose the word fresh could be taken for renewed but the word is used a total of 53 times, so how is it rendered the other 52 times.

“Now there arose up a new H2319 king over Egypt”
“When you build a new H2319 house, then thou shall make a battlement for your roof”
“Also in the day of the first fruits, when you bring a new H2319 meat offering unto YHUH”
“When a man has taken a new H2319 wife”
“If they bind me fast with new H2319 ropes that never were occupied,”

These are just a few examples but if you would like to study the word out it is basically the same all the way through, the word “new” is simply defined as new.

This information is important but if we would just hear what our Father is speaking to us this exercise wouldn’t even be necessary.

“…a NEW COVENANT with the house of Yashr’Al, and with the house of Yahudah. Not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mistrym (Egypt); which My Covenant they brake…”

How is it that He can say that He will make a new covenant NOT ACCORDING to the one He made when He brought them out of the land of Mistrym and we don’t believe what He said?

HE SAID A NEW COVENANT WITH YASHR'AL AND YAHUDAH NOT LIKE THE ONE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE DAY HE TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO BRING THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF MITSRYM.

To deny this covenant is to deny what YHUH said He would do for his people to be their Alhym. This New Covenant is the vehicle YHUH said He would use to put His Turah in our inward parts and write it in our hearts. I don’t know about you but I want all of that that He will give to me. I want YHUH to be my Alhym and me to be His people. So if He has a New Covenant that will accomplish this and put His Turah into my heart then Praise YH YHUH I am with Him with all my strength! Moving forward, let’s see if we can find signs of this New Covenant elsewhere in the Scriptures.



And again,



O how I love these two Scriptures, even though neither say “New Covenant” outright, they do strongly show the effects that this “New Covenant” will have on those that are part of it. The New Covenant is designed to give us a NEW RUACK and a NEW INNER-MAN; it takes away our filthiness and replaces the stony inner-man with a soft inner-man of flesh. It even goes so far as to say that YHUH will put His very own Ruack within us, and cause us to walk in His prescriptions. 

We began our study discussing being weaned from the breasts, and eating the strong food of the Word of YHUH. If one receives this New Covenant cut in the Blood (Ruack) and flesh (Word of YH YHUH) of the Son (He that comes forth from the inner most part of the Father) of Alhym. The Father Himself will give to them of His own Breath. Then the Turah of YHUH will begin to spring up from that one as living waters. The Turah will come from the inside out and not from the outside in.

The Word Himself becomes one with those entering into to this New Covenant making them to be one with the Father Himself. Even as it was written, “Hear O Yashr’Al, YHUH our Alhym is one YHUH.”

The Turah of YHUH is unchanging but as we clearly see Abraham fulfilling the Turah of YHUH without a written law, so we also are given access to his Turah by it being written in our inner-man. Not only this but also His Word cleanses us from our sins. I tell you that this is the mystery of all those that trust in Him, that they should not trust or serve themselves or the arm of the flesh. But that they should deny self and walk as the Mashack walked fulfilling the will of YH the Father. For by His standard, signal, signal pole, ensign, banner, sign the sin of Adam is put to death that we might be made free to serve Aluah in the body of His Firstborn.

The Scripture declares in YaramYHU3:16-17 that there should come a day when “it shall come to pass, when you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says YHUH, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of YHUH: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. At that time they shall call Yarushalam the throne of YHUH; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the Name of YHUH, to Yarushalam: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.” This Scripture also witnesses to the New Covenant that is not like the one given as He took them out of Mitsrym, because He said “they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of YHUH: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it.”

The Almighty has concluded that man in his own strength cannot fulfill the Turah necessary to be in Covenant Unity with Him. So, He has given us of His Own Self, that it should be of Him and not of man that we are made righteous. Even as it is written, "I will go in the strength ofthe Adany YHUH: I will make mention of Your righteousness, even of thine only.” All that put their trust in Him shall not be ashamed. YH YHUH has become our song and our strength. 

YHUH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS! YaramYHU23:6 and 33:16







Comprehending the Turah of YHUH and fulfilling His commands cannot be achieved by one’s own efforts and in one’s own strength. Those entering into endless debates and arguments over the letter of the Turah have already shown that they lack the instruction of the Ruack ha Qadash, for the Breath of YH YHUH is One with Him. Those that possess that Breath convey His will written in their minds and in their hearts.

-To Love or Not To Love-
















I originally wrote a shorter version of this subject on a Facebook page but after reading again recently it seemed to need more attention. So, we will cover it in more depth here.







If there is one all-encompassing word that can be used to fulfill our only true purpose towards each other and towards Alhym… it would have to be LOVE. I know this is a very over used word and a very unpopular word among many who boast themselves as teachers on the internet but it is what it is, and must be honored.














First of all let me clarify that when I talk of love it doesn’t include a generic acceptance of everything that someone may choose to do. To allow someone to harm themselves without giving warning isn’t love at all. I could no more do this than to let a small child stick a fork in an electrical outlet or play in a busy street. This does, however, bring me to an important bit of knowledge. When we speak to our brothers and sisters what exactly is the motivation (heart’s intent) of our words? If I correct my child and pull them from a busy street, I really have no point to make; I am doing naturally what Alhym has put in my being to keep my child safe. I am not trying to make a point about cars or streets or anything else; I am simply trying to keep my child from getting run over by a passing truck.







The FATHER is big on hearts; He actually searches out their intents and tries their motivations. The word in Ibry (Hebrew) is labab, the inner most part of man. When you speak to the brethren or to those in the world, are you truly motivated by LOVE or are you trying to prove a point to justify yourself? The answer to that question is always vitally important to the FATHER. YHUH freely gave to us His Passover LAMB, and not only us but also for the sins of the whole world, so that He could gather into one fold all the lost sheep of Yashra’Al. He lived not a single moment for Himself during His time on earth, so how can we do any less than our master?



It is important that we begin to understand that the Son of Alhym doesn’t exist as an entity of self. The Son comes from the inner most part of the Father; He is the expression of the Father’s will. Self is an unwelcomed and unfulfilled consciousness in the mind of the Son. The life of self is a lie that was born from the flesh; to live as part of the Beloved Son of Alhym means that one must do away with the false life of the flesh and receive the true source of Life from the Father YH.



The beast of self is all about “I”, I will exult myself… I will be like the Most-High… I will place my throne above the stars of shamym, notice that the will of the Father is not at all in these thoughts.



The Son was manifested to reveal the Loving-Kindness and favor of the Father YH upon all that have fallen short and broken the Turah. He is calling for repentance, so that by turning away from lawlessness a person world forsake their self and walk in the will of Father YH.







There are many that would answer me saying, we are in a time of judgment, and I would agree to that statement. But that gives us an even bigger reason not to forsake our First Love, which has always been the Compassion and Love of YHUH towards us. Now is the time to dig your heels into the earth and refuse to let your love grow cold! The belief and patients of the Qodeshim is their childlike trust and confession that YHUH is Salvation by the Blood of The LAMB!


YHUH will reward every man according to the things they have done, Loving-Kindness for Loving-Kindness, Favor for Favor, but to the distorted and crooked He will appear twisted.


Those that follow LAMB are where His is, and are doing what He is doing. When the Word of YHUH enters into the labab, and finds good ground there, it begins to grow and then produces fruit after its own kind. The result is a labab overflowing with fruit, and cleansed from the corruption of this fleshly world. The Word of YHUH will recreate the labab to become the dwelling place of the Most-High.







Check your labab to make sure you’re walking in the WAY love. Don’t speak words without someone’s wellbeing in mind. Don’t prove points; prove what is acceptable before YHUH Alhym. Don’t throw words around like confetti; they are precious and are made to serve Eternal purposes. Don’t do for you, do for Our FATHER in Shamym; for so the SON comes not to please Himself but the FATHER that sent Him.



“Have compassion upon me, O Alhym, according to Your Loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of your tender compassions blot out my transgressions. Wash me completely from all my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You alone, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your eyes; that You might be proved right in Your Words, and be clear when You judge. See, I was brought forth in wickedness; and in sin did my mother conceive me. See, You have desired truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You make me to know wisdom. Clean me with hyssop, and I am clean; wash me, and I am whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, let the bones You crushed rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my wickedness. Create in me a clean heart, O Alhym; and renew a steadfast ru’ach within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and take not Your Ru’ach ha’Qodesh from me. Restore unto me the joy of Your Salvation; and uphold me, Noble Ru’ah! Then will I teach transgressors Your Ways, so that sinners shall turn back to You. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O Alhym, Alhym of my Salvation, let my tongue sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Master, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise. For You do not desire slaughtering, or I give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The slaughtering of Alhym are a broken ru’ach’ a broken and a crushed heart, O Alhym, You do not despise. Do good in Your good pleasure unto Tsiyon; build the walls of Yerushalam. Then You would delight in the slaughtering of righteousness, in burnt offering and complete burnt offering; then young bulls would be offered upon Your altar.”
