This is past your logic. This is the work of the spirit. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. I know it may be different, but he's in the deep. Yeah. He's in the deep. He's in the deep. Please don't be distracted by the sound of the music. Please don't be distracted, the most high wanna take you somewhere that you've never been before. But you gotta launch out into the deep. He's beckoning you, he's beckoning you, he's beckoning you. He said, take my hand, let me take you somewhere else. Oh, let me take you somewhere else. It is past your logic. He's beckoning you. Yes, Sherelle, he's beckoning you. When you hear his voice, harden not your heart. When you hear his voice, harden not your heart. He's beckoning you. I'm requiring you into my life. Yassirel, I'm begging you. Oh. Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh, I beg of thee. Oh my god. This is what happens when we make room for him. Truly make room. Question whether or not he will come. And today be your testimony to see that he will. In any space, any place where you have issues, this is your opportunity to cast the books out there. For the most high cares. Thank you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praises unto you, Abba Yehuah. Hallelujah. This reminds me of how King David prayed. Give me a clean heart that I may worship you. Grant me a clean heart that I may worship you. Is it really possible to worship the Most High when we have so much stuff in our heart that's not of Him? Torayah f'yam kippurim, that we will have forgiveness of our sins. That we have a new chance to praise him the way our souls desire to praise him. That we can worship him in front of everybody, yet be alone. Hallelujah. Meditation, praise, and worship has to be the most intimate thing we can possibly do. To call the Most High to inhabit our hearts. That we can cry out to the Father. with all of the might, all of the stuff we have in our heart, and say, Father, you fix me. Because I tried and I can't do it on my own. Hallelujah. We're going to go through the Ten Commandments real quick. Real quick, we're going to go through the Ten Commandments. And I challenge you. To look at these as if you've never seen it before. Yeah, you're going to hear it. You're going to be familiar with the words. You're going to be familiar with the understanding. But I dare you to look at the words and look beyond it. to look at our marriage covenant and see it be operating in your life in a place that you didn't see it before hallelujah that we have access to new ways to communicate with the most high to invite him into our life that he can orchestrate the way that we live our lives hallelujah i like this it's the first time i use the clicker So, as we go through this, fun fact, may not sound like that much fun. Did you know that the Catholic Ten Commandments only hold nine? How many people knew that? That the Catholic Church, when they have the Ten Commandments listed, and they have line one through ten, it's nine commandments. Did anybody know that? You knew that, right? Why would they hide a commandment? Why would anybody hide a commandment? So I'm going to go through this first, 1 through 10, and then I'm going to go back to the top, and then we're all going to stand, and we're going to recite it word for word. Hallelujah. Commandment number one, you should have no other Elohim before me. I'm gonna get it right. There we go. That's the one. You shall not make unto you any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. This is removed. That commandment has been removed from the Catholic Ten Commandments. They took that out. And then when you get down to the tenth, if you was to look at their Ten Commandments, because that's clearly not ours, right? They split the tenth commandment. Half of the verse for number nine, the other half of the verse for number ten. We'll get to that. I don't know what I got to point at for it to work. There you go. You shall not take the name of Yahuwah Elohekai in vain, for Yahuwah will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. Remember the Shabbat day to keep it Kadesh. Honor your father and your mother that your days may be long upon the land which Yahuwah Elohekai gives you. This is the first commandment we're promised. If you do this, this will happen to you. There's nothing that can get in the way of his word and it coming to fruition. There's nothing powerful enough, not even yourself. The best thing we can do is obey or not obey, but you're not going to interrupt his word from doing his job. Hallelujah. And this commandment is present through all, all of Torah, all of the prophets, all from Genesis to Revelation and in the hidden books. This one right here, there is no way he is going to have us come into existence and then turn around and forsake the very thing he used to have us be standing here today. It's not going to work. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You should not kill. I like saying fun fact, it may not be a fun fact, but that should say you shall not murder. How many people know there's a difference between killing and murdering, right? To murder is to kill without cause because you felt like it, right? But there is a such thing as a righteous kill. The most I say, look, if this person don't obey me stone them right if if do not suffer a witch to live right if somebody as a man of your house if someone is coming to do you or your family harm you are justified and used in deadly force if necessary to protect your own well-being and those who stand behind you hallelujah the most high himself did the same thing didn't he kill all the firstborn You got your hands on my firstborn. Don't you know what you got your hands on? Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who you are? Don't you? Our father don't play. There we go. You shall not break wedlock. You shall not steal. When you really look at these things, it makes perfect sense that he would say this because if you knew who your father was, that all things was in his hands, and that you were his children, why would you steal? You should not bear false witness against your neighbor. When you look at these commandments, when you're looking at anything in scripture, ask yourself why? Why would you bear false witness against your neighbor? That's malicious. Anyone that takes that action has malicious intent. Don't be malicious against your neighbor. Don't bear false witness. You shall not lust after your neighbor's house, you shall not lust after your neighbor's woman, nor his maidservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbor's. Isn't that synonymous with thou shalt not steal? If you do these things right, all these things are going to be added to you. Why do you feel like you got to take it from somebody else? Hallelujah. Was that it? I feel like that did it on his own. That was it? Help me out. Todah. All right, so everybody rise to their feet. We're going to go through this together. We're going to recite our marriage contract, part of our ketubah, part of the covenant that we have between us and the Most High. Hallelujah. I can't think of a better way to start it, so I'm going to count to three. One, two, three. You shall have no other Elohim before me. You shall make any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not take the name of Yahuwah Elohekai in vain, for Yahuwah will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. Remember the Shabbat day to keep it Kadesh. Honor your father and your mother that your days may be long upon the land which Yahuwah Elohekai gives you. You shall not kill. You, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know what happened there. Thank you. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not lust after your neighbor's house. You shall not lust after your neighbor's woman, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is in your neighbor's. Hallelujah. Shalom. First, I want to say welcome to another worship service, Shabbat service here at Great Awakening. To any of our guests, we want to say welcome. We want to thank you for coming to worship with us. Also want to send another shout out to Alma Linda Brown that made her way. Return of the Ma. But again, thank you for coming. We want to welcome you. We certainly appreciate you. We pray that you make yourself at home, that you feel comfortable. And we want to just say bless you and thank you. Thank the Most High for sending you here. Before we get started, we just celebrated Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement, yesterday. And as we know it, Day of Atonement is where we go through this rite to even be in the presence of the Most High. That the Most High, whenever he was about to meet with Moshe or Moses, he told him, you know, to cleanse yourself, to sanctify yourself. And we know that the Most High gives us this one day. This one day for day of atonement and atone literally means to be at one with him and part of that at one literally means that we see things the way that the most high see. it. So we're not biased and we don't try to manipulate his word. That is the one chance that he says, I want to forgive you. I want to cover your sins. I want to. All the hatred and the maliciousness and the bag biting and the rumors and the gossip and the grudge that you have against another person. I want to wipe your slate clean. But I need you to help me wipe that slate clean. Moray Kaniyahu did an awesome job that talked about that the Most High covers our sin. That it's not like we can erase it, the sin is still there, it's just that he covers us and now for to be under his covering. if we move outside of that covering we are still found to be guilty of everything that we did so that goes back to our heart it goes back to the way we think it goes back to what we say it goes back to what we do so now we are entering into feast the tabernacle that we even look at when yahushua he said you should have a son and you shall name him you Emmanuel, one that dwells, that Abba dwells with us. So when we go into Sukkot or a Feast of Tabernacles, we see that we have an opportunity to dwell with the Most High. that he gives us an opportunity not only do we have this Shabbat or this seven day of rest but he said I want you to rest and dwell with me as I dwell with you for these seven days take a load off and so what we're going to talk about today is where art thou do you know where you are Or probably more importantly, do you know where you should be? Because now if we came out of Yom Kippur and we are cleansed, it's almost like getting ready. You get ready before you show up somewhere. Right? There's a certain, like Aaron and his sons, they were told, listen, wash yourself. Put on the best of the best before you enter into the presence of the Most High. So now that we have purged ourselves and we look for this atonement that we have to shuva and repentant, now we got to look at actually where should we be? Will you go to the next slide for me? but midbar or number 6 24 through 26 it says yahuwah bless you guard you yahuwah make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you yahuwah lift up his countenance to you and give you peace we know this is the ironic blessing that the most high told moshe to tell aaron So I got a question. What does it mean for Abba to make his face shine upon us? Anybody? To show favor. Anybody else? To show that he is pleased with us. Anyone else? to show favor or to show that he is pleased with us. So I want to go back to like much like we have idioms or we have sayings so does our ancestors so does our our people so we go see this in scripture a lot that he says to make his face shine upon you. Can you go to the next slide real quick? So when he's talking about being gracious to us, it's where we get the word kanan. Can everybody say kanan? Kanan. Kanan is where we find in Strong's 2603. It says it is a primitive root, but it means properly to bend or to stoop in kindness to an inferior. So contrary to popular belief, none of us are inferior to anyone else, including our brethren. Yesterday when we went out and we fed and we gave clothes to those that are our brethren, we did it in a manner that should have been in a gracious manner. Not here, take this, here you go, or anything like that. To be gracious to someone literally means to stoop down. To do it with humility. The most high shows that he's actually stooping down or to sit or to dwell with us or to give us something when we look to do others like that. Remember he said that I will be merciful to who I be merciful to. I will show grace unto who I will show grace to. But whatever the Most High does, he literally sets the precedence or the standard in which we're supposed to follow. Go back and look at when he rested on the Shabbat. It says that he doesn't slumber or sleep, so why would he need rest? He did it to set an example of what we should do. That's why he even sent his son to set an example of us to follow. Let's continue. So there are always words within words. So from the word kanah, kanan, you have the chet in the noon, or the het in the noon. The het represents a wall or a fence, and then the noon is a picture. that literally means to continue or something that should continue. And even when you put the noon on the end of it, it means to be continuous and to continue and to continue. So when the Most High shows us favor, it's on to us to show the next person favor, which is on that person to show the next person favor, which is on that person to show the next person favor. But what happens when it stops with us? We broke the chain. It's not what it's supposed to have been. So we are nomadic people. So the Most High, when you go back in Genesis, you look at what, was it Abram or Joseph, that he said that he stopped at Sukkot. So the Most High is saying, look, I want to take you back to where you originally were from. Abraham, right? I want to take you back to where you originally were from. I want to take you back to the beginning. Because most of us think that we are superior over other people. Especially when we found out our name, when we found out our character, when we found out our identity. Now all of a sudden we look down on people. But this is that we were nomadic. It says the camp have many as many as 50 or more tents and the tents are placed in a circular configuration forming one continuous wall. Let's continue because this this is literally part of our protection when we show grace onto other people, because if the most high show favor or grace onto us. Just like he showed love to us, who are we to stop that flow? That's why you have so many of our people on the corner, this spitting venom. Well, what happened before you knew who you were? You were sitting in the room. But now you have a right to go out on the corner. To spit venom? No. It's so that you can go out on the corner to actually help the brother. Let's continue. So, Canaan, I want to show that this is more than just grace, but it literally means beauty. Remember that it said that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Most High. So he saw what he was doing, primarily following instructions, and he was warning the people, there's a flood coming. Don't know if you know or not. But the word beauty as beauty of the camp to literally give or to show beauty grace or mercy to another So if you you can't you don't even have grace without a second person That's what torah is all about We just read the ten commandments you shall not kill will you go kill another You shouldn't steal from another You shouldn't commit adultery again another So it's not primarily about us as it is about us as a whole. Let's continue. Again, another example of beauty literally is when we make supplication for another person. When we have this earnest prayer. about the next person. Not the fact, hey, I'm healthy, hey, it is. But no, what about the one who isn't? What about constantly praying and supplicating for those who are going through something? An injury, a sickness, a divorce, whatever it may be. That's beautiful to the most high when we intercede for others, on others'behalf. That's why when Mashiach said, the second is likened to the first. In other words, do unto others as you want them to do unto you. Let's continue. You see the same words for compassion. How often do we do that to one another? Or do we take on the ways of the world? He said, though you are in the world, don't be of the world. In other words, they should see something in you that's different. Something different about that sister, something different about that brother. Let's continue. All right, let's continue. Continue on. Psalms 133, 1 through 3 says this, behold. That word behold means to see something more in the spiritual than you do in the physical. Behold how good or how tobe and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It technically could have stopped it at dwell together, because dwell together literally means to be yakad or just to be ekad. But it made sure that it held with specificity to be in unity. That's where you get a community from. That we have more in common with than just the Torah. That we unified in the Torah. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down from the beard, even to the beard of Aaron. That word for precious is Tob again. We know Tob to be functional. Again, Maury Kanayahu did an awesome job that it's not just about showing something, but it's showing the function of something. The Most High, he made light and he said that it was good because it functioned how it should function. Are we functioning the way that we should function? Because according to this, it says how good or functional it is. and pleasant for brethren to dwell together, but it's impossible for us to dwell together or even to dwell with him, and we ain't even completely dwelling together, not being able to get alone. Let's continue real quick. So again, what does it mean for Yah to make his face shine upon us? We heard favor. What else did you say again? To show that he's pleased with us. To give us peace. I love that. But don't take our word for it. Let's look at what the scriptures say to Halim 67 and 1. Elohim be merciful unto us and bless us and cause your face to shine upon us. Being merciful. What is merciful? Being undeserved or something? So even if we follow the commandments, the Most High is still being merciful to us. That's not our ticket to him shining his face on us. Because we still go do it wrong. We still have done it wrong. Even though most of us are woke or in truth. It just means we got a better understanding, which really in turn means we're going to be judged even more. But it goes back to him saying, be merciful unto us. Because you know that I knew what I was doing when I did it. Let's continue. And that's say la literally means stop and think about that for a while. Don't just continue, but stop, take a moment to understand what he just asked the most high. What was the last time we took a pause to think about, to really ponder, to really meditate? on if we really in right standing with the most high to halim 31 and 16 make your face to shine upon your servant are we doing are we serving like he told us to deuteronomy 10 and 12 says he was talking to all of y'all shirel what he said to serve me Go look back at Yahushua and Moshe and all of them that they call themselves a servant. Who you serving? Who we serving really? Because serving someone else really ain't serving yourself. The definition of a servant in scripture is you are already doing something for someone else. Go back and look at why he even put Adam on the earth. He said to have dominion. In other words, carry my name. While I'm doing this in the Shemaim, I need you to be doing this on the earth. Thy will be done, thy kingdom come. Let's continue. And then it says, save me for your mercy's sake. So now we can associate shining his face on us with having mercy on us. Let's continue. Tehillim 80, 1 through 3. Give ear, O shepherd of Yashareel. You lead Yosef like a flock. You that dwell between the Caribbean. Shine forth before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh. Stir up your strength and come and save us. Turn us again, O Elohim, and cause your face to shine upon us that we shall be saved. So we talked about him being merciful, but now it looks like him saving us, some of us even saving us for some of ourselves. Because we still smell like where we came from. We still got residue of where we came from. The same way that our ancestors from Mitzrayim began to do those things over as they did back then. It's the reason why he give us scripture and he tell us to remember. Remember where you came from. Remember what I did for you. Because we're so quick to forget. Let's continue. Again, same chapter, a couple of verses later. Turn us again. Turn back to us, Abba. Cause your face, and it says, Yahuwah of hosts, Yahuwah with armies. You think of an army, you think of defense. You think of protection. You think about someone going before you. And cause your face to shine upon us again so we can be saved. Let's continue. said the same thing in verse 19 turn us again cause your face to shine upon us again what it seems like is either somebody turned a back on the most high or the most high turned his back on them But I thought reading in scripture, it was something that said there was nothing that can separate us. So who did the separating? Did we turn our back on the Most High or did the Most High turn his face from us? Let's continue, D.S. To Halim 119, 134 through 135. Deliver me from the oppression of men, so I will guard your precepts. In other words, guard me while I'm guarding your precepts. So I don't have to worry about watching my back. Watch my back, Abba, while I do what you told me to do. Make your face shine upon, again, your servant. I'm here to serve you, Abba. And teach me your statues. Three things going on. He said, guard me while I guard your statues or while I guard your precepts. And then he said, teach me. It's real hard to guard something or to keep something and to be taught something if you're busy watching your back. In other words, we should be in this secret place. And then the most high love us so much that he told us, every Shabbat, I want you to sit down. I want you to rest. I want you to spend some time with me. If most of us can't say that we have joy, we should at least say we have it on the Shabbat. Because if we don't, it says that in his presence is the fullness of joy. And if we're supposed to be in his presence, at least on the Shabbat. It's not us just taking a rest, but it's literally us taking a rest from bills, from worry, from everything you can name. Let's continue. Even Daniel. If you look at our ancestors, all of them had this thought that the Most High makes His face shine upon us when we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Now therefore, O Eloheinu, hear the prayer of your servant and his supplications. We just talked about supplication being us showing grace or favor for other people too. So he's saying not don't just hear my prayers for me but hear my prayers for Amma. Hear my prayers for Zakanin. Hear my prayers for the Akoti. Hear my prayers for everybody else. And then cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate for Adonai's sake. Go for it, Diaz, please. So if the Most High causes His face to shine upon us, what does it mean for Yah to hide His face from us? We already said the other one was showing mercy or having favor. We already said the other one... What did you say? To show that he's pleased with us. So to hide his face from us may be mean that he's displeased with us. So for us to be able to dwell with him during this Sukkot period, you better make sure he's pleased with you. How you've been acting, how you've been thinking, what you've been saying. This goes for all of us. I know we're going to have a good time and we're going to be with each other, but who cares about us being in each other's presence if we're not in his presence? That's really what it's about. Continue. I want to show us that just like it's in scripture that he makes make his face shine upon us, he can also hide his face from us. But what does his face represent though? His presence. Remember they had the ark of the covenant? It represented the presence of the most high. When we are, if he's making his face shine upon, it's more than us just being in his face. It's more than us just being in his presence. He radiates his presence. He makes his presence known. Because it's not just about his name or him being there. It's about his function. Who is he known as? What is he doing? Hallelujah. This is one of the first times it is mentioned in scripture, Bereshit 4, 13 through 14. And Cain said unto El Yehua, my punishment is greater than I can bear. We all deserve punishment. But he said, Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and you have face shall I be hid. He understood what it mean for the most high to shine his face upon him. So now, in turn, he knows what it means for the most high to hide his face from him. Because it really wasn't just about I'm about to be on the run. It's about your presence. I'm not being in your presence no more. You're not working in my favor no more. You're not showing me mercy no more. But keep in mind that none of us are deserving of it. No one. I will be merciful unto who I will show mercy to. You can't put in no bids. And the most high hates self-righteousness. Because there's only one type of righteous. Either you press in towards that mark, or you think you already met it. Get a mic, get a mic. When he knew that the Most High was with David, he was jealous against David. He tried to kill David because he said, what else can he have but the kingdom? Because he knew that the Most High was with him. And when he came back from the battle, he said, you know, Saul had killed his thousands, but David his ten thousands. He didn't like that. He didn't like that the Most High was with him, that he was pleased with David, that he, his presence was with David. And that's what it is when his presence. is with you, when the scriptures say, when your enemy will come in like a flood, that he'll set up a standard against you. That means they know who is with you, that the most high presence is with you. And when the most high presence is with you, who can stand against you? What can deny you? You have all favor, all power, all possibility. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Listen to what he said, and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall come to pass that everyone that finds me shall slay me. In other words, I'm no longer under your protection. I'm no longer covered. I'm no longer in your presence. It wasn't the fact that they probably had to look out for people anyhow, but it was the fact that I'm being released from your covering. What happens when the Most High release you from his covering? It's the opposite of atonement. To be at one means I'm thinking like you, I'm before you. But other than that, you're left on the outside. Whatever happens, happens. That's when the most high hide his face. Can I get a microphone for this side? You know, I just want to mention that Gilliam, with 300 killed thousands because of the presence of the Father. Without sword, without spears, and without arrows. It had vases, horns, and torches. The presence of the Father was with him. him. 300 killed thousands. And I just wanted to mention that I think you're so right. You're on point with this. I'm very pleased with this message. It means a lot to all of us to know that his presence is powerful. That's all I wanted to say. I told her, and this is contrary to what the world believed. The world believed that their money can save them, who they know can save them, how many guns they got can save them, how much clout they got, which literally means nothing. If we got the most highest presence, we have everything. Literally everything. Let's continue real quick. Because it's all through scripture. Deuteronomy 31, 16 through 18. And Yahuwah said unto Moshe, behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. And this people will rise up and go a whoring after the Elohi of the strangers of the land. They go try to be like everybody else. Whether they go among them and they will forsake me and break my covenant. He's telling you the prerequisite of how he go hide his face or why he go hide his face from us. Because we break in covenant. It's so many of our people that's in all these other religions. And the first thing they ask you is what religion are you? No, religion is man-made. Say it's more about relationship. It's more about who I live with. It's more about who's dwelling within me and who I choose to dwell with. It says, in the break my covenant which I have cut with them, then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day. I will forsake them and I will hide my face from them. Because I'm doing this because they did it first. In other words, I'm reacting off of them. Do we not know part of our actions causes a reaction? And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Are not these the evils come upon us, because our Elohim is not among us? The most highest, I cannot, I cannot dwell with disobedience. That's why when most of it, he calls them an abomination. It's disgusting to me. It turns my stomach. It does something to me when people not only sin, but do wickedly and do abominable things. I can't stomach it. That can't be in my presence. If I told the priests to make sure they clean up before they come before me, And now I'm calling you a kingdom of priests, of a royal priesthood. Do you not think that you got to come before me clean? That's why we had Yom Kippur before we have Feast of Tabernacles. And I will surely hide my face in that day for all of the evils which they have wrought, and that they are turned unto other Elohim. In other words, you turn unto them, go to them, and ask them to save you. Tell them to be gracious to you. Tell them to make their face shine upon you. See if it happened. See if the molten images, see if the carved images go say them. See if they shine a cross, what that's going to do. Let's continue. Yeshayahu, Isaiah, understood the same concept. For Yahuwah spoke thus unto me with a strong hand, and he instructed me that I should not walk in the way of the people. This is the theme. This is the theme. Do not walk in the ways of the people, saying, Say not a confederacy to all of them whom this people shall say a confederacy. Neither fear ye their fear. Because everybody else is fearing what's going on in the world. I don't know if anybody ever took, like, understood this, but whenever a feast day comes around, it's a lot going on in the world. It really is a lot to think about. But the most I say, look, you're in my presence. What are you worried about? Your fear shouldn't be the same fear. We should fear nothing but Abba. And he shall be for, and then it says, sanctify Yahuwah Seville himself. Let him be your fear. Let him be your dread. And he shall be a sanctuary. But for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the house of Yashariel, a gin and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken and be snared and be taken. Now he's saying make a difference. I want you to differentiate who say they mine and who really ain't. Because then he said this, I want you to bind up the testimony and seal the Torah amongst my Tomodim, those that really follow me. Not the Facebook followers, not the Twitter followers, but my real followers. Not the ones that say they in my presence, they got a good quote, but the ones that really ain't saying much because they too busy in my presence. Not the ones that care about how many likes they getting, but just if I like what they're giving. And I will wait upon you, Yahuwah, that hides your face from the house of Ya'aqob. It went from talking about Yasharrel to Ya'aqob, because you back to your deceitful ways. You back to your old self again. That's why I need you. To bind up the testimony and seal the Torah amongst my Talmudim. The same ones that are sealed until the day of redemption. Have you ever knew this? The Torah is a gift and the Ruach HaKodesh is a gift. And it really does take the Ruach HaKodesh to keep the first gift. Because many don't understand that it is a gift. They look at it as it's a task. It's hard. Dawid said, I take delight. It's my pleasure to do what you asked me to do. Because not everybody is your servant. And I will look for him, behold, I and the children whom Yahshareel, or Yahuwah, has given me for signs and for wonders in Yahshareel from Yahuwah Sabaoth, which dwells in Mount Zion. Let's continue, DS. Ezekiel, another prophet. He knew what it is. Now, it's not just these men talking. It's the Most High speaking through these men. So these are words of the Most High. You can count it as you hearing it directly from him. According to their uncleanness. That's it right there. And according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and I hid my face from them. Why would I want to dwell there? Why would I want to be with them? Therefore, thus says Adonai Yehua, now will I bring again to captivity a Ya'aqob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Yasharel. There is a distinction. And will be jealous for my holy namesake. After that, they will have borne their shame and all of their transgressions, whereby they have transgressed against me when they dwelt safely in the land, and none made them afraid. It's telling you when you in his presence ain't nothing about to shake you. Ain't nothing gonna move you. News to somebody else ain't even news to me. Give him a oh for real and keep going. When I have brought them again from the people and gathered them out of their enemy's land and I am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations. That's key. Then shall they know that I am your who? So I'm putting you in their sight so they'll know who I am. which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathens but I have gathered them onto their own land and have left none of them anymore there neither will I hide my face anymore from them for I have poured out my ruach upon the house of Yasharel I'm putting my presence in you let me say I'm gonna cause you to walk in my Torah This is going to be happening. Let's continue. Micah. Notice all these prophets are talking for the Most High, on behalf of the Most High. And I said, here I pray you, O heads of Yaakov, and ye princes of the house of Yasharel, is it not for you to know judgment, who hate the good and love the evil, who pluck off their skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones, who also eat the flesh of my people and flay their skins from off them? And they break their bones and chop them into pieces for as the pot and as a flesh within the caldron. Notice none of that will happen in his presence. He said they shall cry unto El Yehua, but he will not hear them. Again, he will even hide his face from them at that time. As they have behaved themselves ill in their doing. Reaction. Thus says Yahuwah concerning the prophets that make my people err and bite their teeth and cry, Peace, and he that puts not them in their mouths, they even prepare war against them. He's using a prophet to tell them about false prophets. He's using the real word that goes against the word of man. And look at the change that he's doing. Those that are leading my people astray, that's causing them to do this, that's causing me to have my face from them. How much worse are they going to have it? Let's continue. So it's a reason that it talked about causing his face to shine. Because Abba's presence, or his face, radiates light. Go to the two scriptures, DS. Tehillim 4 and 6, there be many that say, who will show us any good? Yahuwah, lift up your light, the light of your countenance upon us. Tehillim 89 and 15, blessed is the people that know the joyful sound. It's amazing that they talk about in his presence is the fullness of joy and they talk about this joyful sound. Not everybody know it. We talked about it a couple weeks back that some for some people it's confusion. What's going on? Because they have no clue and for others they know. I know what that sound like. Oh yeah, I know exactly what that sound like. They shall walk, O Yahuwah, in the light of your continents. So my question is, are you walking in darkness or are you walking in light? Because it's not just the light of the truth of who you are or the truth of his Torah, but are you walking in his presence? Are you not fearing anything? Though I walk, I shall fear no evil, because thy rod and thy staff, it covers me. Are you covered? Even when we are at Sukkot, when we are in our tent, it's really us dwelling under his tent. It's saying you welcome me out of my house to welcome me into your house. Not everyone is welcome. So it's not about the spiders and this and that. It's about being in his presence. It's a delight to be in your presence. It's a delight to be under your covering, your firmament. We're wrapping up. Let's continue, dears. This is amazing. When we really dwell in the presence of the Most High. It's shown on us. People see it. Have you ever been someone they say what are you doing here and you walking like you don't even know me. What you mean what I'm doing here because they already see that you don't you and this don't mesh. Listen to this is when Shemot went up to, I believe the second time that he went up. Remember the first time he came down from being with the Mosai for 40 days? He was angry because of what was happening before. Now this time, look what happened. he says that he was there with Yahuwah for 40 days and 40 nights. He was in the presence of the most high for 40 days and 40 nights. The most high shined his face upon him for 40 days and 40 nights. He didn't either eat bread nor water nor drink or nor drink water. It couldn't please his flesh anyway. He was beyond the flesh at that point. We just came off of Yom Kippur. We was only fasting for one day. And he wrote upon the sapphires the words of the covenant, the ten Debarim, and it came to pass when Moshe came down from Mount Sinai with the two sapphires of testimony in his hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moshe knew not that the skin of his face shone or shined while he talked with him. Do you have conversations with people? Do your face shine? Not from the grease, not from the petroleum jelly, not from the lotion, but do your face shine because of you have been in his presence. So when you get back in people's presence, they can't help but to see the light that he shined upon you. I said it like three weeks back or something, if people still see you as you, you're probably not doing the best job. That goes for myself. If they still see James and they don't think of the Most High when they see me, then somehow, someway, I'm not reflecting his light. That just is what it is. If they still know you as that person, I get down, or that person that can get down, or whatever, then they don't, you haven't been in the presence of the Most High enough. And when Aaron and all the children of Yashar El saw Moshe, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come nigh unto him. So this is beyond when you're in front of people and they say, oops, my bad, I cussed. This is you saying, this is them saying, hey, we need to get out of here. Because essentially the presence of the Most High showed up. They don't mesh together. They just don't. And we can't do what we used to do. I'm sorry for you. When Yahushua came, people always, well, he was dwelling with, no he wasn't. When he did come in their presence, it was to change them. It wasn't just to kick back, chill, sit, have a drink, eat some bread with them. My wife usually tells me, she said, for some reason I have more fun with the Mishpachah than I do with my own family. I said, yeah, because it's righteous fun. Because it's being around someone that has the same, you get what I'm saying? It's because I'm trying to, we're trying to go to the same place. I'm trying to be in the same place where his presence dwells. But I, that means I can't dwell with other people that I'm used to hanging around. Because what happens? Light always outshines darkness. But if you now outshine the darkness, you must be part of it. And it's amazing how the Most High picked His darkest people to be His brightest light. Let's continue. And afterwards, all the children of Yahshua, they came nigh. They came nigh. And he gave them the commandment, all that Yahuwah had spoken with them in Mount Sinai. Until Moshe had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. But when Moshe went in before Yahuwah to speak with him, he took the veil off. I need some more of your light. Until he came out and when he came out and he spoke to the children of Yahshuarel that was commanded and the children of Yahshuarel saw the face of Moshe that the skin of Moshe's face shone and Moshe put the veil upon him again, and he went in to speak with them Is your light shining so bright that everywhere you go people trying to throw a veil over you Here he go again Miss holier than thou. If that's what they say about you, I promise you it's really a good thing. Because if you know that it's something you're not trying to do and it's just something that you are. Let's continue. So notice this light. from us being in his presence that he radiates unto us is really not just for ourself it's really so we can be light to the other nations let's use scripture to prove it yeshiyahu isaiah 42 6 through 7 i yahuwah have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand and will keep you i got you covered And give you for a covenant of the people for a light of the other nations to open the blind. Now all these are different things that should be happening. Being the light is only one of them. But he said, I'm going to use you to open the blind eyes. To bring out the prisoners from the prison and to them that sits in darkness of the prison house. I'm going to send my presence where it's dark at. It's not that we shouldn't go to the darkness. It's we shouldn't dwell in the darkness. Let's continue. Yeshia who 49 5 through 6 and now says who would have formed me from the womb to be his servant. I formed you to be my servant. If you want to know your purpose in life there you have it. I formed you to be my servant. Before you was born you was you was to be my servant. To bring Yaakov again to him, though Yashariel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of Yahuwah, and my Elohim shall be my strength. And he said, it is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribe. of Yaakov and to restore the preserved of Yasharel. I will also give you for a light to the other nations that you may be my salvation until the end of the earth. Go back to Morya Kanayahu's teaching. He said that he gave us. Yahushua, to set the standard, to set the barometer of where we should follow, what we should do. So we won't have any excuse. Have you ever noticed somebody, they tell you to do something, but they don't set the example? What happens with a real job? They don't just tell you what to do, they begin to show you what to do. All right, let's continue. Chapter 60, 1 through 3. Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Yahuwah is risen upon you. Notice that it's hard for you to shine if you're not in his presence. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people. But Yahuwah shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. And the other nations shall come to your light, and the kings to the brightness of your rising. Let's continue. Wrapping it up. Luke 2, 29-32, Yahuwah, now let your servant depart in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the other nations. and the glory of your people, Yasharal. Continue. So again, can you be the light if you're too busy dwelling in darkness? We have it to code as an invitation to dwell in the presence of the Most High. Not everybody get the invitation. Let's continue. Talim 22, 3 through 5 says this, but you are holy. You are set apart. O you that inhabit the praises of Yahshara. I talked about us dwelling in his presence, but now it's telling you where he dwells at. It says that he dwells or he inhabits the praises of his people. Our fathers trusted in you, they trusted, and you did deliver, because your presence was there. They cried unto you, and they were delivered, because your presence was there. They trusted in you, and they were not confound, because your presence was there. But it's telling you where he dwells, where he sits. Let's continue. He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. So as I'm praising him, he's within my praise, and then I'm within his secret place. Nowadays, can't nobody keep a secret, but the most I said, I have a place that's for you. If you choose to be there, a secret place. And I go back to Deuteronomy 29 and 29. It says the secret of Yahuwah. It's given to Yasharel and their sons forever and ever, and it is his Torah. Take not lightly the Torah of the Most High, the Ruach of the Most High, or the presence of the Most High. It's not forget how good somebody can teach or anything like that. Your responsibility is to be in the presence of the Most High, and when you're outside of the presence, you're serving. Which really means you're really still in the presence of the Most High. Let's look at this word, yashab, yashab, inhabit or either dwell, continue. Yashab is always words within the word. So we have yod, shin, bet. So yod and shin literally means to exist or to be or that there is. All right. Let's continue. We're going to go with the other two letters. So shin and bet literally means to turn. That's where you get the word teshubah, right? Or teshub, to press back to the tent. So when we get, again, to press toward the tent, what is the tent? It's a place that you dwell. It's a place where you can rest. It's a place where you find peace. It's a place that you can sit. It's the place literally where your seat is. Continue. And we have the same letters within Shabbat. Shabbat. So remember the shin and the bet represents a seat. The Tav represents covenant. He's saying return back to your seat that's within the covenant. Return back to your place. Have a seat. Relax. Why are you worried? Why? What you fearing? When vaccines are mandated, what you fearing? Famine, what you fearing? They go invade. What are you fearing? Why you all scattered? Have a seat. Rest. Take a load off. Relax. Even when we travel, relax. I'm with you. If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, best believe I'm gonna do what I'm supposed to be doing. So notice that Shabbat literally means an intermission. Go to the next one. It means to repose. Mosiah ain't just telling us just relax from work. He's saying take a load off from everything. I want to refresh your nephesh. The same one that you just afflicted, that I told you to afflict, I want to refresh you. I want to satisfy you. He had Moshe do it for 40 days. He only had us do it for one day. Because he wanted to give us an appointment to be at one. Because I cannot dwell with you if I'm not at one with you. But now that we are at one, come in. Let's go to the last one. To Aleem, one and one. Blessed. Blessed. Blessed. Which literally means to kneel. Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits or yashab, nor dwells, nor inhabits, nor abodes in the seat of the scornful. Know where your seat is. This right here explains it all. Because if you're not walking or you're not standing, you're sitting. If you're not sitting, you're walking. Whatever the case may be, if you're not doing one, you're doing the other. But he's saying, don't get caught. Because their presence, I guess you're saying, is more important than my presence. Let them cover you then. Let their money cover you. Let their finances cover you. Let their protection cover you. Let whatever healing that they say they have, let it cover you. But in Isaiah 58, he told us that our light will spring forth speedily, that our health. He literally gave us the formula. You just got to be in my presence, but I require your obedience to do so. So where are thou? Do you know where you are? More importantly, do you know where you should be? Before Abba's face, where's your mark? Will you come here for a minute? Can we stand before the presence of the Most High? Just a couple things I wanted to say. Excellent teaching, Maury. Excellent teaching about the presence of the Most High. I wanted to add this symbiotic relationship. There is a symbiotic relationship between the light and the presence, and Maury James need not for anyone to add to it the word spoke for itself. But I want to draw what we call monomics, monomics, or analogically. the just a position between our lives and the presence of the most high in this light you are not the light as you suppose i'm gonna say that again because i wanted to metabolize you are not the light as you suppose you are reflective surface he is the light And he shines on your reflective surface. When you go to the movies, do you go and watch the screen or do you go to watch the movie? That's the difference. The screen is just a tool that the movie is projected upon. We get so fascinated about the screen that we miss the etiology or the purpose of where we're going. It is the movie and not the screen. So when our reflective circle... Surfaces get dingy and dirty remember on a color spectrum there are light or there are colors that project light and There are some that absorbs light Black is a color that absorbs light when our lives are black when it's full of iniquitous immoral activity that is diametrically opposed to Torah it absorbs the light of Torah it doesn't project it so this is why most of our terminology is me myself and I what I want but when your light when that color spectrum is not dark then you begin to serve others because it's not about you that's what Maury James was saying what it means to when you in his presence out his presence you've been created and made to be a servant before the most high that's why your reflective surfaces have to be clean because Because let your light shine before men that they may do what? Glorify the Father which is in heaven. He is the light. You're just a projector. You're just a reflective surface. So you're not delighted, you suppose. Number two, I wanted to say about the presence, because it was just really, really good as Maury was going through, particularly the Nabaiim, going through the prophets. In Yahushua, or what we call Joshua, chapter three. Notice our ancestors said we've never been this way before. We've never been this way before. There's a difference from knowing the Most High as a promise giving Yah. But it's a whole different dynamic when you know him as a promise keeping you. Do I got any witnesses here? When you know him to keep his promises. And so when we read the text in Yehoshua or in Joshua, when we read the text, there seemed to be a preoccupation. Maury James mentioned it. Can anybody tell me what that preoccupation is? In Joshua, there's a preoccupation of the Ark of the Covenant. The Most High delivered the children of Israel out of Mitzrayim for what purpose? to worship and we think that well we're going to be delivered from Babylon we're going to be delivered whenever the most I deliver us from any scenario or any predicament or any setting it is for the express purpose to go and worship him freely Not just so you can have land and all this. And this is what the children of Israel had to understand. That their answer, they talked for hundreds of years, we're going to get our own land. And we're going to get out of Egypt. And we're going to have grapes bigger than a man's head. And the most I'd say, you're missing it. Because you're more focused on the presents, the gifts, than my presents. And it took them 40 years to recognize it's not about the presence, the gifts, it's about my presence. So there is a, Joshua is lavish with explaining to us through the pericope that the Ark of the Covenant, which denotes the presence of the Most High, is the most important thing that you and I, I should strive for. It's his presence. So it says when the ark moves, you move. When it stops, you get a thousand feet back. It's teaching now a new generation not to be focused on gifts and blessings and me and hooking me up and me and myself and I. It teaches a new generation that the most important factor in your life is the presence of Almighty God. So last thing I'll say, what's in the Ark of the Covenant? Here's Monomics again. Here's these analogical tweets that the Most High has given us. What's in the Ark of the Covenant? Can anybody tell me what articles? Y'all got it. Y'all got it. First thing is in the Covenant. Don't you ever forget this. The presence of the Most High is always going to be symbiotic to these three things. And he tells us throughout the text. Number one, if you're going to be in it denotes Aaron's rod, which means his authority. You're not going to disrespect him and think that you're going to be in his presence. It's also who he puts in authority. I know y'all got quiet on that one. Because when you dishonor who the Most High set up, according to Torah, You also dishonor the Most High. You're not going to be in his presence, Cora, and treat Moses any type of way. No, no, no, no, no, no. You ain't going to be in his presence and teach my prophet Aaron any type of way. So it denotes authority. second thing that's in the ark was the commandments don't you think ever think that you're going to violate the commandments of the most high and be in his presence I don't know what I'm witnessing anymore when I look at Christians and I look at what they're trying to say and they're blessing the city and blessing the field and blessing when they go and I'm blessed when I wake up and I'm blessing my month, my birthday month. I'm celebrating the whole month long and I'm thinking, what God do they serve? What Bible are you reading? I need to know who this God is that will pardon and let you be blessed and you don't have to keep the commandments. Keeping the commandments is essential. Don't you think you're gonna walk into his presence to have all type of junk on you? Don't you think you're gonna walk in his presence and you violating the commandments of the Most High? There are prerequisites. Then the last thing that's in his presence, what's matter? Which denotes, Maury James was saying it all through when I was back here, I had to stand up. I could, it's sustainability. When you are in the presence of the most high, there's four things Mourners of joy. At his right hand, there are pleasures forevermore. Don't you ever think you could ever be in his presence and he not take care of you. There are sustainability in the presence of the almighty God. Sorry about that, Maury. Be in. Praise God. Hallelujah. Give the Yahuwah a hand of praise and a shout. Hallelujah. Thank him for his presence right now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We love you the most, God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you for your presence. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. For your presence. Hallelujah is the fullness of joy. And at your right hand, pleasure is forevermore. Hallelujah. There's so much in here. presence hallelujah how many know there's healing in his presence how many know that there's victory in his presence when the Most High sent his son Yahushua many didn't receive the benefit of Yahushua being in their presence because they couldn't get past the flesh but Yahuwah was inside of Yahushua reconciling the world unto himself we can miss what the most high has for us because we don't see beyond the flesh And when you pray, and even at this moment right now, we're about to pray. Some of you have needs that's in this house. Healing. How many have a need of healing today? How many have a financial need in this house? How many need the most how to do something in their home? Whatever you need, it's in His presence. It's according to your faith, so be it. Can you discern when the most high... He's here today. He's here right now. But a lot of people haven't discerned him. Your faith, by faith, you're going to grab hold. Just like the woman with the issue of blood. There was many people pressing up against Yahushua. But she deserved beyond his flesh. She saw Yahuwah inside of him and she was able to touch the most high. And that's what I want you to do before we pray. As we pray, let your faith touch him. Many people try to touch with the physical, but let your faith touch him to receive what you need. Gracious Yahuwah, we love you. We thank you. We honor you. As we come right now, Abba, we ask you, Abba, to just look upon us today. Right now, Abba, hallelujah, let your eyes go through and forth throughout this room, Abba. Find, hallelujah, someone, hallelujah, whose faith, hallelujah, is ripe right now to receive from you, Abba. I'm asking you, Abba, hallelujah, that you would move in this place right now. Abba, somebody need healing today. Somebody need deliverance today. Somebody's at their end and ready to give up today, Abba. But I'm asking you, Abba, hallelujah, that you would give, hallelujah, to your people what they need today, Abba. I'm asking you to stretch forth your hand and heal. Stretch forth your hand and deliver, Abba. I'm asking you, Abba, hallelujah, for those who have mercy. not been filled with your Ruach today, Abba, that you would pour out of your Ruach upon in this house today, hallelujah, and fill somebody, hallelujah, who have the faith whose heart is open unto you, Abba. I'm asking you, Abba, hallelujah, that you would just move by your presence and break up the fallow ground, hallelujah. Break up that ground in our hearts, hallelujah, so that we can receive from you today, Abba. Open up our Ruach today, hallelujah. Abba, unto you Abba, give us the faith, hallelujah, to touch you, give us the faith, hallelujah, to trust you, give us the faith, hallelujah, to see beyond our situations, Abba, to see beyond what we're going through, to see beyond what the doctor have said, to see beyond, hallelujah, what others have said, Abba, to receive your word today, Abba, we ask in your hallelujah that you would just touch in this place, Abba, we ask in your would just bless your people. The marriages, hallelujah, that's on the verge of being torn apart, Abba. We know that you can mend that which is broken, Abba. We know that you can deliver, Abba, that you can restore, Abba. Let your love, hallelujah. Be in us, hallelujah. Let it be spread abroad, hallelujah. From our hearts, hallelujah. As your rock touch us, Abba. We asking you, Abba, hallelujah. To do a great thing in us, hallelujah. Do a great thing in our faith, hallelujah. Abba, we're asking you, Abba, hallelujah, that you would cause us to love you as you love us, Abba. We love you and we thank you, Abba. We praise you right now. In the name of Yahushua, we thank you. And let the Mishpachah say hallelujah. So really quick, we don't want to ever leave with this opportunity. So those that do want to give, we ask that you do so via cash or cash app or either PayPal. the cash app is dollar sign great awake detroit again dollar sign great awake detroit i want to stress the importance that we can afford to do what we do because of the the help from those that donate and contribute it to it so we do it according to exodus chapter 25 when the most high says as their heart moves them So if your heart is not moved to do, I say don't do it. But if the Most High moves you to give, then most certainly we want to thank you for your contribution. Secondly, we are in a new house, and so we do have some house rules that we have to abide by. This is not our building. We literally rent the space out. So for those that have younger children, we ask that they don't run or be jumping around. Some of this equipment back here is not ours. Some televisions, it's not ours. The place itself is not ours. So we ask that you be mindful of that. Not only that, we typically can be monitored all the while we're here. They have high-definition cameras and things like that. that nature. So again, when it comes to your children, we ask that you assist them with the food, assist them with the drinks. That way we try to minimize the possibility of them spilling or tripping or hurting themselves or spilling things on the carpet. All right. Also, whenever there's prayer going forward, we ask that that's literally us speaking with the most high. So at that point, there is nothing more important than the conversation that is happening with the most high. Most High. So we ask that everyone be mindful and respect the conversation as we commune with the Most High in that regard. The third thing that I want to say is in regards to us being here. Many of us will be gone to Molina, Georgia to help observe or celebrate Feast of Tabernacles. So for next Shabbat, October 5th, we will not be here. I'm sure that we will have stream live for those that want to watch via YouTube. And then that following Shabbat, which is the 12th, we will not be gathering here. Many of us will be just getting back. And they already had an open house that is going to go on in this place for that particular day. And they were going to... to still open it up to us, but we choose not to gather so late in the day. Our gathering would have been after like four o'clock. So I would say for those that have WhatsApp, stay tuned into WhatsApp. More than likely we'll be gathering via Zoom and then we'll be right back resuming in here. So for the next two Shabbats, we will not be in this building. All right. Just want to make sure if you know anyone else that are probably not on our WhatsApp if you can pass on that message to them so that way we don't want anyone wasting their gas or their time coming somewhere where we won't be gathering for those particular weeks. Any questions? All right, lastly, Dr. Howard may have some type of instructions in regards to those that are traveling to Molina via flight, and you were told to bring your luggage here so that it can be loaded on the vehicle. So it'll be loaded on the van, okay? So we ask that you just adhere to the instructions in regards to it, and we also want you to be mindful for those that did bring luggage, just be mindful that we have so much space, so much room. So we ask that you just be mindful of that. All right. Lastly, we will be serving. The assembly is providing food today. We'll have Mediterranean food. So we ask that you please stay over, fellowship, enjoy, talk. That was one of the reasons that we decided to come here, so that we can kind of extend our fellowship and not be rushed out. All right. Shabbat shalom.
