This week’s torah portion is called Judges. The torah portion reminds us about the Festival of Sukkot and how we are to be “…and you will be completely joyous”. Sukkot tells us of a future when Messiah will be with us, and a time of peace will prevail.

In this current time as our nation is no longer a community of the righteous but filled with those who’s soul disregards the rules -people engage in forbidden fruits those of lust and self -indulgence. Which is pretty evident in our world ie. Abortion ,3-4-year-old being taught sexual teachings, along with CRT (Critical Race Theory) poisoning our children’s minds and creating a victim/oppressor mentality, it is an endless list. It is interesting to note that after Moses summarizes the festival of sukkot, Moses then goes on to instruct the nation regarding judges and officers. To paraphrase, Tim Hegg, “it becomes self -evident that when judges and officers are themselves corrupt, the way to shalom and joy with the community is blocked. “Our joy has been stolen by an illegal illegitimate congress.
If a person or groups of people appoint a judge or leader that they know is less than honorable then they will incur the penalty upon themselves for electing without justice. Our election was stolen, and all parties allowed it, including we the people, because we allowed it. Now we are reaping what was thrust upon our nation. Communism is rampant in our congress.CRT, cancel culture, lying, Vaccine passports etc… A fast track to destruction.

So now is not the time to sit and wait for someone to save us. Prayer for our nation, & revival must occur. We have to fight this invasion by Satan. Through prayer, fasting, and studying the word, all this can help set God’s people free. We must walk in FAITH that Yeshua is fighting along side us and just needs us to be lights in this nation. The road is small and narrow, and few may find it. Hold fast to his power in us, God helps those, who help themselves. So, VOTE, run for office, say no to mask mandate’s, vaccine passports. To quote Rand Paul they cannot arrest everyone. Shalom and God bless.
