Torah Commentary
Toldot "Generations"
Genesis 25:19-28:9
Malachi 1:1-2:7
Live Where I Tell You
I said recently that the only thing that has been constant in my life through the past years has been change. However it has not been the kind of change that we were told last year to simply hope for. The change I have seen has been one which I am confident has come from One who states to me that if I follow Him, He will direct my every step along the way. Many of you can relate to these statements as well. Your lives have and in fact continue to be filled with change.
In the midst of what can seem on the surface to us turmoil and even confusion regarding these changes, we can all take the words of Genesis 26:2 to heart. The setting for these words is that the world around Isaac was in famine. There was uncertainty of where he would get enough food to feed his family. He began to look to the horizon and to the natural in order to provide for his growing family. Before he began his first step though, he was stopped in his tracks by words which told him to live right where he had been told to live. He was not to look to the horizon for his provision, but rather to look up for his provision. He was being told that if he would look to the Elohim of his father Abraham instead of his own strength, he would never go without. We see in the verses that follow that though he also pulled the same stunt regarding his wife that his father had, he did in fact follow the words spoken to him and was richly blessed because of it.
So what is the message to us within these words? Do they mean that we are to stay within the situation both naturally and spiritually that we are in right now? I think not. Look at the words again. They say "Live where I tell you." The question that we should all be asking Him then is, "Where is He telling us to live?" Of course our minds will immediately think of our natural surroundings first, but this is the wrong place to begin.
To answer the question, we should look at the spiritual side first. Where is He asking us to live spiritually? Is it not within the guidelines the Torah gives us? This is a very easy principle to put into practice considering the season we are approaching. It may surprise many of you, but there are those who are reading this commentary today that are still considering what to do for Christmas. They are making plans to live in the practices of this pagan holiday. To those who are doing so, I must ask you the question posed to Isaac, "Where are you told to live?" Have you been told to live in pagan practices or have you been called out to live a life separate and unto Him? Of course, we could spend all day picking on Christmas and make most of us feel really good about ourselves, but what about other areas of life? How are we doing regarding living within the guidelines of Torah which He has told us to live? Are we continually looking to the horizon of man- made solutions to problems and turmoil in life, or are we looking to Torah? Do we have one spiritual eye on Torah, but the other eye on something else, just in case He does not come through in time?
In the natural there is so much upheaval in the world around us today. Yah is in the midst of positioning His family, I believe. Many people are being told to uproot everything they have ever known and take a walk of faith similar to that which Isaac's father Abraham had told him about so many times. When the famine came in the place Isaac was living in, he did just what his father had done during his life. He wanted to move somewhere else. But the message to Isaac was very clear. He was told to not follow the life of another man, but rather to follow the Elohim of that man. He was taught not to duplicate the life of his father, but rather to trust the One who directed that life. He was told to live where He was telling Isaac to live, not to look to where his father had lived.
Isaac was on a new walk. It was one that no one had ever walked before. In order for him to live in the provision of Yah, he had to learn to trust in the voice of Yah. He had to learn to not follow the path that looked good or sounded good. He had to learn to walk by faith, not concerned about how it looked.
Today, we too are on a walk similar to Isaac. No one has ever done this before. We must each learn to live where He tells us. We must understand however that it is the spiritual living that has to come first. That spiritual life is found within the pages of His voice called Torah. If we will learn this, then where He tells us to live in the natural and how He tells us to get there will be a piece of cake, or maybe we should say a piece of matza.
Shabbat Shalom,
Mike

Bereshit (Genesis) 25:19-28:9

  CAREFUL OBEDIENCE

 

 tabernacle
Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they did set out.  At the command of the LORD they camped, and at the command of the LORD they set out; they kept the LORD'S charge, according to the command of the LORD through Moses.”   Numbers 9:22-23
 
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both boats to the point of sinking. Luke 5:7 Complete Jewish Bible
Shalom to our beloved Prayer Partners and Co-Laborers in Messiah!
As I was praying for the Message for this Shabbat Letter, the Holy Spirit spoke to me the words: CAREFUL OBEDIENCE.
I have been thinking about some events lately that have left me pretty puzzled and wondering what is really happening in the spiritual realm.  Some great people in the Ministry are dying young or are sick or in great family distress. If this would only be one occurrence, I would say that it is a coincidence, but it is already reached a magnitude that has drawn my attention and has placed me in a place of ALERT.
Why is it that great people in the Ministry are dying so young, or are terribly attacked this year?  In fear and trembling I have to say that this Shabbat Year is like no other year! For the last two years I have been prophesying that we must STOP all our agendas. The Hebrew word for Shabbat means to “GO ON STRIKE”, and to stop all your regular plans in order to fellowship with YAH and with each other, in order to REST. Most people in the Christian world never rest.  They believe that the Law is obsolete and that keeping the Shabbat holy is bondage, let alone keeping the Year of Shabbat.  All of us have personal agendas to fulfill and it is most uncomfortable to let go of them. We are at present in a season between Revival and Judgment.  CAREFUL OBEDIENCE, like “walking on eggs”, is needed at times of transition such as this one. It is time to seek YHVH until He is found. It is time to LISTEN to His strategy for your life and ministry. It is time to REST and WORSHIP. It is time to be refreshed and renewed. It is time to check and double check the contents of our hearts and all of our attitudes. Are they pleasing unto Him? Have I lost my first love? Am I hot, cold or lukewarm?
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;   And see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. “  Psalms 139:23-24
familyWe are at the time of a Great Crossroads in the spirit and we need to know how to behave when we reach a junction. If we are too fast and a wee bit prideful, we may miss the turn. Careful Obedience demands that we slow down at junctions and we consider carefully which direction to turn. This applies to the way you are handling your ministry, your family, your finances, your marriage, your relationships and your devotion to the Most High. It is time to be CAREFUL, to make some choices that will accompany us in the next Week of Years (7) or in the next 40 years. Some choices carry with them very long lasting consequences. A little bit of self indulgence and of rebellion can cause a chain reaction that will be impossible to stop once it is set in motion. These are fearsome times on one hand and awesome times on another hand. We are between Judgment and Revival.
Many years ago the Lord spoke to me the following phrase that has been my faithful companion for life: “The Good is the Enemy of the Perfect”
Many of us are doing GOOD things but are they PERFECT in Yah’s eyes? When the Holy Spirit commanded us to leave Jerusalem and to go to Eilat it was totally illogical. At our age we were going to move house one more time, only a year after Rabbi had had a heart attack and many other trying things that happened to us prior to the Year of Shabbat. I was quite exhausted and leaving for Eilat, (the absolute farthest southern city in Israel and many call it the end of the world!) was a very complex matter. We needed two movers and lots of money that we did not have for this move. It also meant that I was getting farther and farther from my children and they did not like it at all! It was not convenient in any way! Eilat is great for a short holiday but to LIVE there far away from a real international airport? I felt like I was banished like John to the Isle of Patmos! Together with the instruction of leaving to Eilat, came the instruction of simply REST. I needed to rest, go to the spa, relax, take it easy etc…While that sounds great, to me it meant a certain death. I had been traveling nonstop for many years and most of our income came from the offerings while on ministry journeys overseas. Stopping to travel for one solid year, together with a move to Eilat and all the expenses that it entails meant a true financial challenge that we were not ready for. However CAREFUL OBEDIENCE demanded a response and our response was to GO and to REST.
"So you shall observe to do just as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. "You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.”  Deuteronomy 5:32-33
Beloved, whether the instruction of YHVH for you is to GO or STAY, to DO or to REST, you’d better carefully obey. I have heard in the Spirit the word: IRRELEVANT. People that do not carefully obey what the Spirit says become IRRELEVANT and unusable in this End Time Move of God. In order to be RELEVANT and to be positioned in the right place at this very sensitive time, we must be careful to hear and do what He says. The Virtue of Careful Obedience has to be restored. It was exactly that which caused Abraham, the Father of our Faith, and of course Y’shua our Messiah, to fulfill their Calling and to possess the Promises.
“Because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws." Genesis 26:5
It is CAREFUL OBEDIENCE that causes us to be whole and healthy.  That includes obedience in the nutritional arena and the dietary laws as well as in the attitude of our hearts. Bitterness, un-forgiveness, offenses, jealousy, rebellion and other attitudes that nurse grudges can end our life earlier or can cause us to live with sickness. The Promise of YHVH is health and healing
obedienceAnd He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer." Exodus 15:26
For the most part, Careful Obedience is an affront to our logic and comfort zone.  It grows us in the spirit. It deepens our relationship with the Father and it matures us. Obedience to Yah purifies the soul!
Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart.”  1 Peter 1:22
Careful Obedience must be applied in families between children and parents, so that it will go well with them. There is a lot of carelessness in the relationships today and Elohim said Children obey your parents!
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.”  Ephesians 6:1
As a wife I know that I am co-heir to the gift of life with my husband Rabbi Baruch.  In spite of having the position of President of the Ministry, I am very careful when my husband is not in agreement with me. I do not move until he blesses me. I always ask him for his blessing on everything! I realize that I have to be careful to honor his position even if I am in ministry leadership. We may differ about some things, but before I move I want his blessing. The same should happen in the relationship between pastors and their members. Careful Obedience must be applied at all times and if there is no agreement then a humble request for release is needed!  Most people do not take the words of their pastors too seriously. Careful Obedience demands a listening ear and an attitude of great honor and respect.
“Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.”  Hebrews 13:17
soulIt is the Fear of YHVH that leads us to that place of obedience that is necessary in order to stay on target. The Fear of YHVH will cause me to forgive the unforgivable, to GO or to REST and to be careful with the attitudes of my heart! We need to be very careful not to allow our flesh to take over our reactions these days and seek to keep our hearts very humble and pliable at all times! We are living in a period between Judgment and Revival, and we must be sensitive to the VOICE and WIND of the Spirit!
For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”  1 Peter 4:17
It is that CAREFUL OBEDIENCE that causes us to be victorious against all our enemies and it positions us in the right place and at the right time in order to inherit God’s promises in our lives!
"You should diligently keep the commandments of YHVH your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you and you shall do what is right and good in the sight of YHVH, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which YHVH swore to your fathers,  to cast out all your enemies from before you, as YHVH has spoken..” Deuteronomy 6:17-19
When He says GO, then GO.  When He says STOP then stop and remember that there is one thing that He will never do.  He demands us to follow Him on this:
“For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning… On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent  You who remind YHVH, take no rest for yourselves;  And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”   Isaiah 62:1,6,7
eliatWe pray that each one of you will Carefully Obey his commandment concerning the Restoration of Israel.  That all of you that are called to join us for the Purim Prayer Summit in Eilat in March 2011 and bring groups with you will be CAREFUL to OBEY even though it may be extremely inconvenient. For it is not by logic, (might,) or by power but by My Spirit says YHVH!
This CAREFUL OBEDIENCE will release the miraculous realm in your life like never before!
"Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the YHVH your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, YHVH your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.  “All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey YHVH your God” Deuteronomy 28: 1-2

THANK YOU!
We want to personally thank all those who are faithful to co-labor and partner with us. Our task is far too great to do out without you! May Yah show His Mighty Favor on your behalf as He promised in Genesis 12:3!
Please be praying for us as we lead our November Tour of Israel with a diplomatic group coming from Suriname to visit Israel and talk with the Government of Israel, and as we prepare for our mission in NIGERIA in November!  YHVH is moving in Eilat also through our Prayer Tower and we need many more volunteers and prayer warrior/worshippers. We are still short of a bilingual,  long-term administrator that is willing to lay her life down and be positioned in Israel. This has been VERY taxing on Bishop Dominiquae. Please pray for that CHOSEN Person to manifest quickly as the demands from the nations on us is GROWING every day!

About The Commentaries

Traditional Judaism follows a yearly Torah and Haftarah reading cycle in which the Torah (the First Five Books of Scripture) is divided into weekly portions that have an accompanying excerpt from one of the Prophetic books that relates to the theme being presented.
As Believers in Messiah Yeshua, we also include portions from the New Testament, so that we will be reading form the whole counsel of our Father's Holy Word.
Each of these portions contain several chapters. Since each parashah contains untold numbers of nuggets of truth, it is impossible for any one person to present all of the truths in one weekly volume. As we go through the annual cycle, we find new, encouraging, and inspiring bits of truth. Each commentator brings different aspects to light, and we encourage open discussion on biblical passages, and thus the views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Messianic Israel Alliance or its members and affiliates.
