CLOSE UP THE OPENING
Have you ever counseled people that have demonic spiritual problems or encounters. Sometimes this can come through dreams or an actual living encounter. These encounters are never fun. These experiences scare people. Persons usually ask for some kind of prayer of protection or deliverance. The problem I always find is because of some kind of demonic opening they have right in their own home. There are good spirits from God and all other spirits. Demonic spirits are just spirits that are not of God. These spirits behave just like snakes.
These spirits like snakes enter the living areas of animals and can coil up for days, waiting, alertly near an opening. Most snakes look for a space or hole, and wait there for their prey, sometimes for days. The demonic spirit’s strategy is to seek an opening in your life. Now if you knew that this spirit not of God is seeking an opening into your life, the wise thing to do is identify that opening and close it!
This opening can be an ungodly attitude, a habit, or ungodly behavior. It could also be an ungodly sculpture, painting or literature you keep around the house. Spiritually it could also be something from your past like a hurt or a wound. It even may be unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, jealousy, idolatry or unnatural lust. It could be any entrance at all. It could also be gossip, that video, that TV show, that internet connection, or any association that gives the enemy an opening to lie in wait to destroy your life you. So, listen my friend, and be wise.
Close the opening, seal up that gap, and shut that opening once and for all. Your enemy is seeking an opening, an entrance into your life that is not for good. Don't give him any opportunity to come in! It is not real difficult to identify what is ungodly! You can even ask a child of age if they think something is ungodly and they usually can tell very simply if you just ask.
As people who obey God, do not be shaped by evil desires you used to have when you were ignorant. (1 Peter 1:14)

We believe that the Shema, “Hear O Israel the Lord our God, the Lord is One”
Teaches that God is One (Echad), a united one, eternally existent in plural ones Elohim (God)
Yeshua Himself was Jewishthe entire New Testament was written by Jews and the first believers were Jews.
Non-Jewish individuals, who put their faith in Yeshua, are grafted in to this Jewish faith.
We recognize that the Jewish people that put their faith in the Messiah of IsraelYeshua (Jesus), continue to be Jewish.

IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
In the baseball movie “Field of Dreams”, an unseen voice speaks to Kevin Costner and tells him, if you build it, the people will come! (referring to a baseball field) This prompts the events of the movie. His character does indeed build “it” and men come to play with the team pulled together from misfits and past baseball heroes.
There is something very biblical about this saying. In the Bible, God told Moses to build the Tabernacle. He gave exact instructions. So, he built it exactly as God said. Then the glory of God appeared.
In the Book of Kings, Solomon built the Temple according to exact instructions God gave, and the glory of God came and so filled the Temple so much that the priests could not ministers and they had to get out.
Ezekiel also describes how the temple was built to exact specifications and then speaks about the glory of God coming. When the disciples obeyed the Lord's instructions to stay in Jerusalem, the glory appeared as a mighty rushing wind.
If God's people hadn't done it the way God instructed, the glory would not have come.
If you obey God and do exactly what He says and follow God to the best of your ability, heart and strength, then He will come. The blessings will come, the victory will come, the Spirit will come, and the glory will come. The word tells us If you do exactly what the Lord says, He will come

WITNESS - MARTYR
The Lord spoke to His people saying, "You are my witnesses" (Isaiah 43:10). This was addressed not only to the leaders or prophets of Israel. God was addressing the Israelites as a whole nation. They were to be witnesses to all the world of the mighty acts of God who had brought them into the Promised Land.
In Acts 1:8, Yeshua commissions his congregation for martyrdom. . Yeshua said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses, in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” The word translated witnesses is the Greek word martyres, or martyrs. You will be my martyrs to the ends of the earth. Yeshua remembered Hanukkah (Feast of dedication. (John 10:22)
A famous story concerning Hanukkah is about Hannah and her seven sons who were Jewish martyrs described in 2 Maccabees 7. Her seven sons were arrested along with her by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who forced them to prove their respect to him and denial of their faith by consuming pork meat that was forbidden in Leviticus 11. When they refused, he tortured and killed the sons one by one in front of the unflinching and strong-hearted mother.
One of the brothers said, on behalf of everyone, that even if they were all to die, they would not break God’s law. The angry king ordered to heat up the pans and cauldrons, and he ordered the first brother to have his tongue cut off, the skin to be removed from the head and the ends of the limbs cut off – All this was happening in front of the rest of the brothers and mother, who, in the meantime, encouraged each other to resist the tormentors' demands. When the first martyr was inert and still breathing, Antiochus ordered him to be thrown into a hot frying pan. When he died, the next one was brought in and the skin was stripped from his head along with his hair. Each of the seven brothers endured the same torture. The torment of the sons was watched by their resolute and rather enduring mother, who had lost all her sons.
Hannah watched her seven sons die in the space of a single day, yet she bore it bravely because she put her trust in the Lord."] Each of the sons makes a speech as he dies, and the last one says that his brothers are "dead under God's covenant of everlasting life".
The story says Hannah died, without saying whether she was executed, or died in some other way.
As we celebrate Hanukkah let us remember it is not just about candles and parties, it is remembering those martyrs who gave up their lives being true witnesses unto God. I wonder if I will ever be put to the test?
Happy Hanukkah!

The Cornerstone-Rosh Pina
Psalms 118:22-23 The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.
Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; whoever believes will not act hastily.
John 15:18 If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
These first two scriptures are speaking of the same "Stone", the prophesied Messiah Yeshua, the "head of the corner" or "rosh pina", in Hebrew. This stone is laid in Zion, a common synonym for Jerusalem, where mount Zion rests. The stone is "tried", that is, tested in every way that a stone can be; the stone is precious and excellent to be set as a sure, reliable, accurate, even everlasting foundation, and a stone which is prepared and set in place by God, Himself. Can you think of a "Stone" more perfect or beautiful than our Messiah?
Yet this same "stone" is rejected by the "builders"; and strangely by those who once believed in him by others who the builders would influence away from him. The Hebrew word for "rejected", “ma-as”, carries even stronger meaning; "to abhor", "cast away", "despise", "disdain", and "be loathsome" are also denoted by it. So, the "Rosh Pinah", the "Chief Cornerstone" of God will be spurned, abhorred, held in contempt, and rejected.
Today many in Israel are coming to faith in Yeshua and strangely, many who once identified with Yeshua are returning to Jewish traditions to be identified with Israel without him. How can one cling to God without his salvation (Yeshua)?
The Lord Yeshua said that our identification with Him would cause us to be hated and rejected too. And in this world, there are quite a few modern liberals and those of his own people who have also rejected the "Chief Cornerstone", so we can expect that they will reject and abhor us who belong to Him. But the prophet said that believers in this Precious Cornerstone will not make haste, or flee in terror; instead, their belief, their faith, their trust will make them relaxed. Is that you?
Shabbat Shalom!
