Reflections on Shabat, 19th July 2024

 


Man was created completely dependent on the help of his Creator
during his earthly life and after that eternal life without exception.


What is meant by firewall in the Bible?

  In the case of a computer, we are talking about a firewall that prevents cunning enemies from accessing the computer's contents and, if they wish, from destroying it completely. In the Bible, it means the supernatural protection of the saints of the Most High from all kinds of evil influences and attacks regarding their body, soul, family and property.

  A reference to it can also be found in the Book of Revelation:
 Rev. 20:9 
>>They went up on the broad plain of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the beloved city (Jerusalem), but fire came down from heaven and devoured them completely.<< 


Can we pray for a wall of fire to protect us?

  We can, and I have always done so when I have felt that a surprise attack from the space of the sky is coming soon. From there, the Devil and his troops make war against all of us saints of the Most High, e.g. by shooting burning arrows into our souls, thus trying to make us at least paralyzed or incapacitated in our spiritual war against all evil.

  If we see one of our neighbors being oppressed by evil spirit forces, we should pray for help from above and the fire wall of the Holy Spirit for protection. I do not understand such Christians and Messianic believers of the Most High who fly to a sun resort in the summer or travel to summer cottages or hotels to pamper their flesh and blood bodies, which they should consider dead to sin and all its lusts!

  Instead, they should pray and fast in this evil age of darkness, so that their families, relatives and all their close acquaintances will awaken to seek salvation for their souls while they still have time to seek and that the message of salvation will spread globally like wildfire! The length of their search period is also carefully regulated, and it can end for some already in their youth, depending on how they have reacted to the Holy Spirit's gracious call to salvation or even to salvation calls.


What is meant by rhḗma words?

  The Greek word rhḗma simply means "any spoken word," but I am dealing with it here in the sense of "divine and creative," like another Greek word, logos, which also refers to a person, our Savior.

  They are words that contain spirit and life. They are creative words. We can best understand their meaning from the following words of our Saviour John 6:63
>>The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.<< 

  The following confession given by the apostle Peter also confirms how important the words and teachings given by our Savior to his disciples (and to our) are John 6:68-69
>>68 Simon Peter answered him, "Adonai, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of Elohim!"<<


  
The entire universe, including the heavens and the heavens of heavens, are created by rhḗma words. We should be filled with the very words that Adonai Yeshua gave to us, to all believers in him, through his teachings and declarations. When we then start to implement them in practice, we will notice that they contain supernatural creative power.

  We can never overestimate the words our Savior gave us His disciples! That is why we should hide them in our hearts as our most precious treasures!
 John 17:5-10

>>
5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created. 6 "I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.

7 Now they understand that everything you have given me comes from you, 8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9 I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you. 10 Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.

What does the gift of faith mean?

  It's not that someone or some people believe the message of salvation proclaimed to them, although that too is by grace and not by merit. I mean instead the gift of grace mentioned in the verse 1 Cor. 12:9 >>to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,<<

 
I had a supernatural experience a long time ago (1980) when the Holy Spirit led me to use the rhḗma words through the gift of faith I had previously received. I needed a car because I lived in Helsinki at the time and my workplace was in Espoo, where it was difficult to get there by public transport in the early 1980s.

 That's why I prayed for a suitable car for me just once and described exactly what kind of car I wanted. The condition was that I get it absolutely free. I decided to give thanks for it every day for one month and then leave it completely to my Savior.

 Although I didn't say a word to my believing friends at the time that I had prayed for such a thing, a month later I was gifted with just such a suitable car through a believing man I knew. I got a car completely free of charge, which was easy to park on the narrow streets of Helsinki, and the car was in really good condition, even though it was little used. HalleluYah!
