Be like Jacob, not Esau

BirthRight Blessing
Ann was a model of the Birthright Blessing.  
Birthright blessing is a concept we see in the bible where the inheritance of the Father went to the son that had the father's heart.  The one that was about His Father's business and not his own self interest. The one that was interested in pursuing the building of God’s promises and His kingdom over his  own self interest.
The Birthright blessing can be seen in Jacob. Jacob was about the affairs of his father and the affairs of God, so was Joseph. While their brothers were only interested in their own self interest and personal gains.  Jacob and Joseph were about doing the will of their Heavenly Father.
Ann was like Jacob. She was not like Esau.  Ann wants us, those left behind in her legacy, to be like Jacob and not like Esau.  You see Esau was not interested in the blessings from God. His mind was on the flesh, what he could fill his stomach with and how he could provide for himself with his own two hands.
Ann was about her Father's Business her entire life. She never sought her own fame or self interest.  Ann wants all of us to stop being like Esau and to become more like Jacob. If you have been like Esau, this is the time for you to straighten up. Turn it around. Become interested in the Father’s business and repent and be baptized.  
Ann was a model of Jesus.  She brought him wherever she went.  She was a mother for Nema when she needed one the most.  She was a mother for me when I needed her the most. She helped save us and make us what are today.
Ann is no longer with us in body.  She is only sleeping. We one day will be reunited with her if we have learned to live like her.  Heaven isn’t for everyone. It’s a choice to pursue the Kingdom of God. When you walk away from here today you will have the choice to pursue the Birthright and be grafted into the promise of Abraham, or choose the broad path of destruction.  Ann would want you to choose the kingdom. It’s up to you and what you are going to do.
Hebrews 12:14-18 Names of God Bible (NOG)
14 Try to live peacefully with everyone, and try to live holy lives, because if you don’t, you will not see the Lord. 15 Make sure that everyone has kindness[a] from God so that bitterness doesn’t take root and grow up to cause trouble that corrupts many of you. 16 Make sure that no one commits sexual sin or is as concerned about earthly things as Esau was. He sold his rights as the firstborn son for a single meal. 17 You know that afterwards, when he wanted to receive the blessing that the firstborn son was to receive, he was rejected. Even though he begged and cried for the blessing, he couldn’t do anything to change what had happened.

What to do When Someone is on Death's Door

When you have a loved one that is on death's door you must not tarry.  Make it happen, go see them, visit, and or call.  Consider recording their voice or take a video of the stories they have to say.   
Pray for them to make peace with Yahuah, and loved ones. That they say "I love you" to the people that matter the most. Pray that they make restitution for any wrongs they have caused.

15:55 Names of God Bible (NOG)
55 Death, where is your victory?    Death, where is your sting?”
 
Matthew 9:23-26 Names of God Bible (NOG)
23 Yeshua came to the synagogue leader’s house. He saw flute players and a noisy crowd. 24 He said to them, “Leave! The girl is not dead. She’s sleeping.” But they laughed at him.
25 When the crowd had been put outside, Yeshua went in, took her hand, and the girl came back to life.
26 The news about this spread throughout that region.
 
 

Happy Not New Year!

When does the New Year really begin?  Does it really begin in the middle of the new year? When we have the least amount of sunlight, cold, and everything is dead.  Find out when the year really is to begin.

Gay, not the happy kind of way

Romans 1:26-27 Names of God Bible 
26 For this reason God allowed their shameful passions to control them. Their women have exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 Likewise, their men have given up natural sexual relations with women and burn with lust for each other. Men commit indecent acts with men, so they experience among themselves the punishment they deserve for their perversion.
 
 
 

Don't Worry

Matthew 6:25-34 Names of God Bible 
Stop Worrying
25 “So I tell you to stop worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothes?
26 “Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?
27 “Can any of you add a single hour to your life by worrying?
28 “And why worry about clothes? Notice how the flowers grow in the field. They never work or spin yarn for clothes. 29 But I say that not even Solomon in all his majesty was dressed like one of these flowers. 30 That’s the way God clothes the grass in the field. Today it’s alive, and tomorrow it’s thrown into an incinerator. So how much more will he clothe you people who have so little faith?
31 “Don’t ever worry and say, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 32 Everyone is concerned about these things, and your heavenly Father certainly knows you need all of them. 33 But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you.
34 “So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

On Another Level

Matthew 5:17-48 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P’rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
21 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Do not murder,’[a] and that anyone who commits murder will be subject to judgment. 22 But I tell you that anyone who nurses anger against his brother will be subject to judgment; that whoever calls his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing!’ will be brought before the Sanhedrin; that whoever says, ‘Fool!’ incurs the penalty of burning in the fire of Gei-Hinnom! 23 So if you are offering your gift at the Temple altar and you remember there that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift where it is by the altar, and go, make peace with your brother. Then come back and offer your gift. 25 If someone sues you, come to terms with him quickly, while you and he are on the way to court; or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer of the court, and you may be thrown in jail! 26 Yes indeed! I tell you, you will certainly not get out until you have paid the last penny.
27 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Do not commit adultery.’[b] 28 But I tell you that a man who even looks at a woman with the purpose of lusting after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye makes you sin, gouge it out and throw it away! Better that you should lose one part of you than have your whole body thrown into Gei-Hinnom. 30 And if your right hand makes you sin, cut it off and throw it away! Better that you should lose one part of you than have your whole body thrown into Gei-Hinnom.
31 “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a get.’[c] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, makes her an adulteress; and that anyone who marries a divorcee commits adultery.
33 “Again, you have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Do not break your oath,’ and ‘Keep your vows to Adonai.’[d] 34 But I tell you not to swear at all — not ‘by heaven,’ because it is God’s throne; 35 not ‘by the earth,’ because it is his footstool;[e] and not ‘by Yerushalayim,’ because it is the city of the Great King.[f]36 And don’t swear by your head, because you can’t make a single hair white or black. 37 Just let your ‘Yes’ be a simple ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ a simple ‘No’; anything more than this has its origin in evil.
38 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’[g] 39 But I tell you not to stand up against someone who does you wrong. On the contrary, if someone hits you on the right cheek, let him hit you on the left cheek too! 40 If someone wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well! 41 And if a soldier forces you to carry his pack for one mile, carry it for two! 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something from you, lend it to him.
43 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Love your neighbor[h] — and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! 45 Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun shine on good and bad people alike, and he sends rain to the righteous and the unrighteous alike. 46 What reward do you get if you love only those who love you? Why, even tax-collectors do that! 47 And if you are friendly only to your friends, are you doing anything out of the ordinary? Even the Goyim do that! 48 Therefore, be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
