Vayigash  ויגש


“And came near”

“Then Judah came near to him and said: "O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's hearing...” (Genesis 44:18)

Torah Portion: Genesis 44:18-47:27

Haftarah: Ezekiel 37:15-28

B’rit Chadash/New Covenant: Acts 7:9-16; 
Ephesians 2:1-10




Psalm 76
(0) For the leader. With string music. A psalm of Asaf. A song:
2 (1) In Y’hudah God is known; his name is great in Isra’el.
3 (2) His tent is in Shalem, his place is in Tziyon.
4 (3) There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
5 (4) You are glorious, majestic, more so than mountains of prey.
6 (5) The bravest have been stripped of their spoil and now are sleeping their final sleep;
not one of these courageous men finds strength to raise his hands.
7 (6) At your rebuke, God of Ya‘akov, riders and horses lie stunned.
8 (7) You are fearsome! When once you are angry, who can stand in your presence?
9 (8) You pronounce sentence from heaven; the earth grows silent with fear

10 (9) when God arises to judge, to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)
11 (10) Human wrath serves only to praise you; what remains of this wrath you wear as an ornament.
12 (11) Make vows to Adonai your God, and keep them; all who are around him must bring presents to the one who should be feared.
13 (12) He curbs the spirit of princes; he is fearsome to the kings of the earth.

Dear Avi,

Baruk Ata Adonai Elohim Melek HaOlam! My Everlasting! My peace, my safety, my provider and healer, protector and defender, I rest in YOU. Toda for the wonderful sleep YOU gave me last night yet I wake up so early at 4.22AM it's very significant that I should be waking early since YOU revealed Anthony Wahl to me. But my heart has lost strength to beleive, I hope only in YOU My Avi. I hope only in YOU and YOUR Promises that has led me to be who I AM. Forgive the frailty of my heart, it has failed me, my heart and strength may fail but YOU are the strength of my heart. So I give this hopelessness to YOU, I don't need to feel hopeless, I just need to wait on YOU and keep trusting that what YOU have is the best and YOU will never fail me. O GOD Almighty! YOU will never fail me. Toda that YOU protect me and Gaw Arlene and our families from being accessed by the enemy. Toda O GOD, for YOU are good and YOUR love endures forever. 

 

 Genesis 47

(vii) 11 Yosef found a place for his father and brothers and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the country, in the land of Ra‘amses, as Pharaoh had ordered. 12 Yosef provided food for his father, his brothers and all his father’s household, taking full care of even the youngest.

13 There was no food anywhere, for the famine was very severe, so that both Egypt and Kena‘an grew weak from hunger. 14 Yosef collected all the money there was in Egypt and Kena‘an in exchange for the grain they bought, and put the money in Pharaoh’s treasury. 15 When all the money in Egypt had been spent, and likewise in Kena‘an, all the Egyptians approached Yosef and said, “Give us something to eat, even though we have no money; why should we die before your eyes?” 16 Yosef replied, “Give me your livestock. If you don’t have money, I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.” 17 So they brought Yosef their livestock; and Yosef gave them food in exchange for the horses, flocks, cattle and donkeys — all that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.

18 When that year was over, they approached Yosef again and said to him, “We won’t hide from my lord that all our money is spent, and the herds of livestock belong to my lord. We have nothing left, as my lord can see, but our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be enslaved to Pharaoh. But also give us seed to plant, so that we can stay alive and not die, and so that the land won’t become barren.” 20 So Yosef acquired all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh, as one by one the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine weighed on them so severely. Thus the land became the property of Pharaoh. 21 As for the people, he reduced them to serfdom city by city, from one end of Egypt’s territory to the other. 22 Only the priests’ land did he not acquire, because the priests were entitled to provisions from Pharaoh, and they ate from what Pharaoh provided them; therefore they did not sell their land.

23 Then Yosef said to the people, “As of today I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh. Here is seed for you to sow the land. 24 When harvest time comes, you are to give twenty percent to Pharaoh; eighty percent will be yours to keep for seed to plant in the fields, as well as for your food and for that of your households and your little ones.”

(Maftir) 25 They replied, “You have saved our lives! So if it pleases my lord, we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.” 26 Yosef made it a law for the country of Egypt, valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have twenty percent. Only the property belonging to the priests did not become Pharaoh’s.

27 Isra’el lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. They acquired possessions in it and were productive, and their numbers multiplied greatly.

Avi Yakar,

O Holy and Great One of Israel! My GOD and King, I cling to YOU My ABBA. My mind is confused, I was supposed to be excited on the PROMISES YOU have spoken to me. But it see me and forgive me Avi, I am exhausted of hoping and believing, but I will not stop believing YOU. I will keep on trusting YOU Avi. Help me Adonai! Wow I see the light shinning on the horizon. I see it physically Avi. I pray this light shines on me Spiritually. I pray that I will have this right this time and won't feel like I am being fooled and mocked by YOUR enemies. I will continue to hope in YOU... 


Ezekiel 37
15 The word of Adonai came to me: 16 “You, human being, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Y’hudah and those joined with him [among] the people of Isra’el.’ Next, take another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosef, the stick of Efrayim, and all the house of Isra’el who are joined with him.’ 17 Finally, bring them together into a single stick, so that they become one in your hand. 18 When your people ask you what all this means, 19 tell them that Adonai Elohim says this: ‘I will take the stick of Yosef, which is in the hand of Efrayim, together with the tribes of Isra’el who are joined with him, and put them together with the stick of Y’hudah and make them a single stick, so that they become one in my hand.’ 20 The sticks on which you write are to be in your hand as they watch. 21 Then say to them that Adonai Elohim says: ‘I will take the people of Isra’el from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Isra’el; and one king will be king for all of them. They will no longer be two nations, and they will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
23 “‘They will never again defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, or any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the places where they have been living and sinning; and I will cleanse them, so that they will be my people, and I will be their God. 24 My servant David will be king over them, and all of them will have one shepherd; they will live by my rulings and keep and observe my regulations. 25 They will live in the land I gave to Ya‘akov my servant, where your ancestors lived; they will live there — they, their children, and their grandchildren, forever; and David my servant will be their leader forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give to them, increase their numbers, and set my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My home will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 The nations will know that I am Adonai, who sets Isra’el apart as holy, when my sanctuary is with them forever.’”

Avi Yakar!

O GOD my Glorious and wonderful King! Here YOU are promising me that I will be joined together with my husband and be one stick with him in serving and loving YOU. Avi, I am not ungrateful for my blessings in my family, I love them Avi but they also bring pain and sorrow to my heart. Heal us all Avi and I pray that we will all love one another and help one another.

Nothing O GOD that can satisfy our heart and spirit - only YOU, only YOU bring meaning and satisfaction to me and all of us here on earth. YOU alone can complete me, not a husband, not dreams, not hope, but YOU. 

Ba HaShem YESHUA HaMashiach, Amen!

 

Acts 7

9 “Now the Patriarchs grew jealous of Yosef and sold him into slavery in Egypt. But Adonai was with him;[e] 10 he rescued him from all his troubles and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him chief administrator over Egypt and over all his household.[f] 11 Now there came a famine that caused much suffering throughout Egypt and Kena‘an[g] 12 But when Ya‘akov heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. 13 The second time, Yosef revealed his identity to his brothers,[h] and Yosef’s family became known to Pharaoh. 14 Yosef then sent for his father Ya‘akov and all his relatives, seventy-five people. 15 And Ya‘akov went down to Egypt; there he died, as did our other ancestors. 16 Their bodies were removed to Sh’khem and buried in the tomb Avraham had bought from the family of Hamor in Sh’khem for a certain sum of money.

Epehsians 2

1 You used to be dead because of your sins and acts of disobedience. 2 You walked in the ways of the ‘olam hazeh and obeyed the Ruler of the Powers of the Air, who is still at work among the disobedient. 3 Indeed, we all once lived this way — we followed the passions of our old nature and obeyed the wishes of our old nature and our own thoughts. In our natural condition we were headed for God’s wrath, just like everyone else.
4 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love 5 that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered. 6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, 7 in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift. 9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast. 10 For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.

 

Avi Elohim,

My Refuge and Safe Place, I come to YOU with humility and sadness please take my heavy burden and heart, and anoint me with the oil of gladness confident that YOU will never ever abandon me or leave me to fend for myself. YOU are always taking care of me and speaking to me, help me to listen to YOUR WORDS and obey YOU. Help me Avi to rest in YOU and trust in YOUR hands with every season YOU bring me in life, help me to find joy even in affliction because YOU are My Everlasting and my Delight, My desire and My heart. Avi, mend all the brokeness in me, what the enemy is trying to do YOU are not allowing it anymore. I pray Avi, show me who is the false and true prophet and the pastor that I can listen to. I am suspicious of Bishop Eugene because of the way he is always asking money using the term seed to get what he wants. Avi, if YOU are saying today it is Anthony then he has not gotten any revelation from YOU because he is saying it is Zvika and it is still Zvika. But YOU are saying it is no longer him. So I pray that if Bishop Eugene is not my prophet then remove him from me, or if it is not Pastor Cez then remove Pastor Cez from me. I pray lead me only to the right Prophet lead me Avi because many are trying to take hold of me. Toda Avi, for always hearing me and holding my heart every morning YOUR mercies refresh me and YOUR WORD cleanses me from all things that are not of YOU. Avi, I am afraid of being with Anthony because of the many people that are not supposed to be there in his life. I don't want to be the one to cause relationships to be broken but LORD whatever YOU did in my life, YOU cleared me of every wrong person that was not for me before I meet my husband, YOU can do it with him too. Yes Avi, I believe YOU are doing the same thing for him as YOU have done to me. YOU are preparing our hearts, clearing us the way of the path YOU want us to take. Toda Avi. Toda for YOUR ways are higher than ours! Toda that YOU always on top of everything. Avi, I want lift up all the people that I always pray for YOU to save. There was one time, I was so disturbed at 4am I couldn't even lift them up to YOU, I remember it was 24th. Wow! YOUR enemies are always trying to deceive me, disturb me, or break me. I remember everything my brother taught me that if I don't have peace then it's not from YOU. Help me Adonai to always find my peace in YOU everyday and to respect and honor the man YOU have given me as husband, to always look highly people around me. To always value them and respect them and to never take blessings for granted. Help me Avi. I pray for my family to do the same. I pray for Anthony Wahl, because YOU said he is the one, though it is still hard for me to swallow, prepare his heart and mine. I pray that YOU give him supernatural experience with YOU, a divine encounter and reveation of YOUR will for his life, lead him to the right paths O GOD and do not allow the enemy to hurt him or deceive him but give him wisdom and let YOUR truth prevail in his heart, mind, body, entire being in his life. Speak to him Avi, and give him straight paths to walk on. Fill him with YOUR Spirit, and let him soar on wings like eagles. Let him experience the wonder and beauty, amazing presence of YOUR Shekinah glory Avi, let him love YOU more than anything in this world. Help me to trust that YOU are perfecting me for this kingdom partner, and perfecting him for me. Help us Avi for my husband is Your son whom Your soul is pleased. He loves YESHUA and he is a jew born in Zion. YOU promised this for me Avi, a true son of Israel whose spirit has no deceit who loves the Philippines. Toda Avi, for every Promise YOU have given me will never fail. It will never fail. So I thank YOU Avi, that this season as YOU have aligned the planets, YOU are also aligning our hearts to YOUR Kingdom purpose and plan for us. I submit and surrender myself to YOU everyday O GOD My GOD! Avi, I lift up to YOU all the prayers of my heart. 

Toda for hearing me and sealing every word with the blood of YESHUA.

Ba HaShem YESHUA, HaMashiach, Amen!
