30 “Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather with me are scattering. 31 Because of this, I tell you that people will be forgiven any sin and blasphemy, but blaspheming the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. 32 One can say something against the Son of Man and be forgiven; but whoever keeps on speaking against the Ruach HaKodesh will never be forgiven, neither in the ‘olam hazeh (these days) nor in the ‘olam haba (days to come). Jesu

Matthew 11:16-19 16 “Oh, what can I compare this generation with? They’re like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling out to each other, 17 ‘We made happy music, but you wouldn’t dance! We made sad music, but you wouldn’t cry!’ 18 For Yochanan came, fasting, not drinking — so they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came, eating freely and drinking wine — so they say, ‘Aha! A glutton and a drunkard! A friend of tax-collectors and sinners!’ Well, the proof of wis

Matthew 11:7-15 7 As they were leaving, Yeshua began speaking about Yochanan (John) to the crowds: “What did you go out to the desert to see? Reeds swaying in the breeze? 8 No? then what did you go out to see? Someone who was well dressed? Well-dressed people live in kings’ palaces. 9 Nu, so why did you go out? To see a prophet! Yes! and I tell you he’s much more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom the Tanakh (Scriptures) says, ‘See, I am sending out my messenger ah

Matthew 11:1-6 After Yeshua had finished instructing the twelve talmidim, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns nearby. 2 Meanwhile, Yochanan the Immerser (John the Baptist), who had been put in prison, heard what the Messiah had been doing; so he sent a message to him through his talmidim, 3 asking, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?” 4 Yeshua answered, “Go and tell Yochanan what you are hearing and seeing — 5 the blind are

Matthew 10:24-27 24 “A talmid (disciple/student) is not greater than his rabbi, a slave is not greater than his master. 25 It is enough for a talmid that he become like his rabbi, and a slave like his master. Now if people have called the head of the house Ba‘al-Zibbul (Beelzebul), how much more will they malign the members of his household! 26 So do not fear them; for there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in

Matthew 8:14-17 14 Yeshua went to Kefa’s home and there saw Kefa’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she got up and began helping him. 16 When evening came, many people held in the power of demons were brought to him. He expelled the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill. 17 This was done to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah), “He himself took our weaknesses and bore our diseases

Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of the false prophets! They come to you wearing sheep’s clothing, but underneath they are hungry wolves! 16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Can people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every healthy tree produces good fruit, but a poor tree produces bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, or a poor tree good fruit. 19 Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown in the fire! 20

SHABBAT! It is another Friday and I am thankful to have a clean house, dinner with my family, challah bread with reminders of ALL He has done and, and, and … so much to be thankful for! Choosing another verse for Shabbat, I found one hidden in the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 13:19 So when the gates of Yerushalayim began to grow dark before Shabbat, I ordered that the doors be shut; and I ordered that they not be reopened until after Shabbat. I put some of my servants in charge

I decided to break up the words that Paul wrote with a Proverb. This verse has encouragement and HOPE as we continue through our week. Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God’s is pure; he shields those taking refuge in him. (CJB) My favorite words from this verse are, “He shields…” Knowing that when I take refuge in HIM, HE will care for me. HE will shield me from the darts that fly towards me. HE will protect me. HIS Words are PURE. HIS Words are “sweet as honey.” HIS Words can be

Today is a Sunday and here in Cyprus it is Easter Sunday for the Orthodox. Yes, they follow a different calendar than the Catholics and Protestants! Orthodox follow the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar. This is the reason I am choosing to follow the Hebrew calendar, which is the one God established so many years ago. The one HE set up when HE created the world! That is a documentary for another day… As our family continues to read through different teachings
