DAILY PRAYER FOR THE COUNTING OF THE OMER:

BA-RUCH A-TAH ADO-NAI E-LO-HE-NU ME-LECH HA-OLAM ASHER KID-E-SHA-NU BE-MITZ-VO-TAV VETZI-VA-NU AL SEFI-RAT HA-OMER.
Blessed are You, YEHOVAH our ELOHIM, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.
Today is thirty-first day of the Omer. The Merciful One, may He bring forth the new Jerusalem, speedily in our days, IN YESHUA's name AMEN

Sitting At The Feet Of Our Master YESHUA
ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE ?
Mat 10:32 “Whoever acknowledges me in the presence of others I will also acknowledge in the presence of my Father in heaven. Mat 10:33 But whoever disowns me before others I will disown before my Father in heaven. Mat 10:34 “Don’t suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword! Mat 10:35 For I have come to set Mat 10:36 a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, so that a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Mat 10:37 Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worthy of me. Mat 10:38 And anyone who does not take up his execution-stake and follow me is not worthy of me. Mat 10:39 Whoever finds his own life will lose it, but the person who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Above YESHUA describes a true Talmidim/Disciple of His. He clearly is telling us their will be a price for following Him. Many want the blessings but do not want to pay the price. These are very strong words and during this time of counting the Omer we need to search our hearts and ask forgiveness if we have put others including our families before Him. I am not saying we are to ignore our families, but we need to keep everything in its proper order, so please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say because I am including myself as well. We need to COUNT THE COST.
We want the blessings but we don’t like the “IF’S”, because the “IFS” are conditional and require obedience. It is only obedience to His Word that brings the blessings.
Those of you who feel you are called to be Pastor, Rabbi’s Teachers etc. Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to serve Him even if you do not get paid and to trust Him to meet your needs?
Are you willing to be transparent before those you serve, admit when you are wrong and repent if you have offended someone? Are you willing to be accountable to others? Are you willing to be a servant? Are you willing to serve Him, even if you get no worldly recognition? Are you willing to give and give to those who He sends across your path even if they never say thank you and leave when correction is given or when the going gets tough?
Yes there is a price to pay for serving the Master, but the blessings here and in the World to Come/Olam HaBa far out weigh the sacrifices.
Do you love the Master YESHUA our Messiah Our King more then you love your family or even your children? Don’t you realize that He loves your children even more then you do? If He calls you to sacrifice for His Kingdom, don’t you think He knows how to take care of your children as well? If you don’t you do not know the Father heart of YEHOVAH. As we serve Him, in prayer we trust Him to take care of what concerns us.
Are you willing to be forsaken, humiliated, scorned by your friends and family because you choose to be obedient to His Torah and YESHUA? Many are not. They like to “Play” with the ‘Jewish” things, but they do not want to live what they represent or learn what they mean or give up their traditions of men and be obedient to His Word.
He is using His Sword of His RUACH/SPIRIT to separate the sheep from the goats. He is beginning to separate those who love Him and serve Him from the Heart, and those who are only giving lip service. He is separating those who want the “Burger King” Christianity where they can have it their way, from those who are saying “Thy Will Be Done, Not Mine!”
We made the decision, that we were going to serve Him His way, not our way. We were not going to be men pleasers, but please Him. It is only when we are totally sold out, and in one accord as His Body that we will be like those who went before us in the early Messianic.
Community of Acts 2. The model we follow is that of the early Messianic Community who loved YESHUA and The Torah and flowed in the Gifts of the RUACH HAKODESH. We are not ashamed to make a joyful noise, dance before Him and let His RUACH have His way in our Services. We were created to Worship Him in Spirit and In Truth.
I will not Compromise Even In The Midst Of Bablyon (Article)
Joh 14:21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me, and the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” 2Co 4:5 For what we are proclaiming is not ourselves, but the Messiah YESHUA as Lord, with ourselves as slaves for you because of YESHUA. 2Co 4:6 For it is the GOD who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of YEHOVAH's glory shining in the face of the Messiah YESHUA. 2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us. 2Co 4:8 We have all kinds of troubles, but we are not crushed; we are perplexed, yet not in despair; 2Co 4:9 persecuted, yet not abandoned; knocked down, yet not destroyed. 2Co 4:10 We always carry in our bodies the dying of YESHUA, so that the life of YESHUA may be manifested in our bodies too. 2Co 4:11 For we who are alive are always being handed over to death for YESHUA's sake, so that YESHUA'slife also might be manifested in our mortal bodies. 2Co 4:12 Thus death is at work in us but life in you.
