Walking the Narrow Path with Yeshua Mshikha

We are living in unprecedented times, marked by great uncertainty, moral decline, and an ever-increasing departure from the ways of Mar-Yah. The world is shifting rapidly, and the forces of darkness seek to deceive even the elect, if that were possible (Matthew 24:24). Therefore, it is more crucial than ever to fix your heart and your eyes unwaveringly upon Yeshua Mshikha, the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He alone is our anchor in the storm, our refuge in distress, and the One who leads us in the way of truth and righteousness.

To remain steadfast, we must be deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures. Read and study the Word of Mar-Yah with great diligence and reverence, for it is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). Do not approach the Scriptures casually or selectively, but with all seriousness, seeking to understand the fullness of Alaha’s will. Through the Torah, the Prophets, the Writings, and the Gospel of Yeshua, we are given divine instruction and wisdom for walking through these dark days in the world.

Promised Days of Prophecy

“It shall come to pass in the last days,” says God, “that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. In those days, I will pour out my Spirit upon my servants and my handmaidens, and they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens and signs on the earth—blood, fire, and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Acts 2:17-21; Joel 2:28-29)

Do not feel disheartened or assume you have been overlooked simply because you have not received a direct revelation from the Creator. His love and guidance are not confined to dramatic or extraordinary manifestations. The Creator, in His infinite wisdom, provides us with a multitude of ways to discern His will and recognise His presence in our lives. The Holy Spirit works within us, often through subtle impressions or a quiet voice that may be audible to the ear or sensed deeply in the heart. These moments of inspiration are no less divine than thunderous proclamations from heaven-they draw us closer to Him and guide our paths with clarity and peace.

Wonders That Are in Your Law

“Open my eyes so that I can see the wonders that are in your Law.” – Psalm 119:18, Peshitta

This particular verse highlights David’s desire to gain deeper understanding and appreciation of Torah. Psalm 119, the longest Psalm in the Bible, consists of a deep meditation on the beauty and perfection of God’s Torah. It contains almost 200 verses, structured as an acrostic poem, with each section corresponding to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This structure shows the completeness and orderliness of God’s Commandments. The eighteenth verse stands out as a prayer for divine assistance in understanding Yahweh’s Torah. St. David acknowledges that without God’s help, the Torah’s full depth and beauty cannot be grasped. This recognition of human limitation and the need for God’s assistance is central to the life of faith.

Haftarah for 13 July 2024

1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour. He was the son of a prostitute. Gilead became the father of Jephthah. 2 Gilead’s wife bore him sons. When his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You will not inherit in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.” 3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Outlaws joined up with Jephthah, and they went out with him.
