This is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, bade the Israelites farewell before he died. He said:
The Lord came from Sinai; He shone upon them from Seir; He appeared from Mount Paran, and approached from Ribeboth-kodesh, lightning flashing at them from His right. Lover, indeed, of the people, their hallowed are all in Your hand. They followed in Your steps, accepting Your pronouncements, when Moses charged us with the Teaching as the heritage of the congregation of Jacob. Then He became King in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people assembled, the tribes of Israel together. May Reuben live and not die, though few be his numbers. And this he said of Judah: Hear, O Lord the voice of Judah and restore him to his people. Though his own hands strive for him, help him against his foes. And of Levi he said: Let Your Thummim and Urim be with Your faithful one, whom You tested at Massah, challenged at the waters of Meribah; Who said of his father and mother, "I consider them not." His brothers he disregarded, ignored his own children Your precepts alone they observed, and kept Your covenant. They shall teach Your laws to Jacob and Your instructions to Israel. They shall offer You incense to savor and whole-offerings on Your altar. Bless, O Lord, his substance, and favor his undertakings. Smite the loins of his foes; let his enemies rise no more. Of Benjamin he said: Beloved of the Lord, he rests securely beside Him; ever does He protect him, as he rests between His shoulders. And of Joseph he said: Blessed of the Lord be his land with the bounty of dew from heaven, and of the deep that couches below; with the bounteous yield of the sun, and the bounteous crop of the moons; with the best from the ancient mountains, and the bounty of hills immemorial; with the bounty of earth and its fullness, and the favor of the Presence in the Bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the elect of his brothers. Like a firstling bull in his majesty, he has horns like the horns of the wild-ox; with them he gores the peoples, the ends of the earth one and all. These are the myriads of Ephraim, those are the thousands of Manasseh. And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, on your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents. They invite their kin to the mountain, where they offer sacrifices of success. For they draw from the riches of the sea and the hidden hoards of the sand. And of Gad he said: Blessed be He who enlarges Gad! Poised is he like a lion to tear off arm and scalp. He chose for himself the best, for there is the portion of the revered chieftain, where the heads of the people come. He executed the Lord's judgments and His decisions for Israel. And of Dan he said: Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth from Bashan. And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, sated with favor and full of the Lord's blessing, take possession on the west and south. And of Asher he said: Most blessed of sons be Asher; may he be the favorite of his brothers, may he dip his foot in oil. May your doorbolts be iron and copper, and your security last all your days.
O Jeshurun, there is none like God, riding through the heavens to help you, through the skies in His majesty. The ancient God is a refuge, a support are the arms everlasting. He drove out the enemy before you by His command: Destroy! Thus Israel dwells in safety, untroubled is Jacob's abode, in a land of grain and wine, under heavens dripping dew. O happy Israel! Who is like you, a people delivered by the Lord, your protecting Shield, your Sword triumphant! Your enemies shall come cringing before you, and you shall tread on their backs. Moses went up from the steppes of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the summit of Pisgah, opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan; all Naphtali; the land of Ephraim and Manasseh; the whole land of Judah as far as the Western Sea; the Negeb; and the Plain--the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees--as far as Zoar. And the Lord said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 'I will assign it to your offspring.' I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you shall not cross there." So Moses the servant of the Lord died there, in the land of Moab, at the command of the Lord. He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, near Beth-peor; and no one knows his burial place to this day. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated. And the Israelites bewailed Moses in the steppes of Moab for thirty days. The period of wailing and mourning for Moses came to an end. Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the Israelites heeded him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses. Never again did there arise in Israel a prophet like Moses--whom the Lord singled out, face to face, for the various signs and portents that the Lord sent him to display in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his courtiers and his whole country, and for all the great might and awesome power that Moses displayed before all Israel.
Mission Updates:
Luke 14:12 12Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace, I have come to realize that many do not understand what we are getting ready to do. We have just went through a couple of very prophetic feasts. Here are there meanings very briefly, first the ones we just went though, " Feast of Trumpets" shadow of the Great tribulation leading up to Messiah's return, which is " The Day of Atonement" Now tonight Wed Dark is the "Feast of Tabernacles" which is a shadow or rehearsal which is full-filled in part during the 1000 years after Messiah's Return before the Great White Throne Judgment. This feast is the only feast we will doing with Messiah during those 1000 years. then the final full-fill-ment comes after the 1000 years when New Jerusalem comes down from Heaven we will then see a new heaven and earth and GOD the Father himself will Tabernacle with his people, no more sorrow or pain. We as believers are supposed to do as Messiah told us and invite the poor. So tonight at Dark or a little before we will give them a Feast of thanksgiving, in fact the pilgrims pattered Thanksgiving after this feast. We will build a Sukka a simple frame with leaves and branches over head to say that we trust ourselves to Messiah as our protector. This Feast most Messianic people believe is Yeshua's birthday that he was born on the first day of this feast. So mom is making a great feast which we share with the poor as is the belief to really care for the poor during our season of Joy, I mean how can we be happy with others in need. So we are to spread our Joy. I also believe with the recent weather changes getting a chance to stay is side for a few days will help them adjust and let us see what we would get into if I have to act as an overflow for a short time this winter as the overflow seems to get started after it is already really cold, so what we are doing is a shadow of that.... I was told that a few people may show up with some food and blankets. Praise the Lord if they do. If you wish to bring foodstuffs at this time then please do it after 3 PM today, the feast is at 6 PM and we can use all the food we can muster. I really need some cash for a few things even gas and I am broke, I think I have $6 cash and $.70 cents in pay pal, but the Father will provide, you see this is Faith. Oh yes during this time there will be some teachings etc but the homeless do NOT have to listen to receive the blessings of food and shelter........we do not force anyone into our belief's...... We I locked the door tonight I had 8 people outside sleeping, the couple that came in the middle of the night last night did not return so I pray they found a place. They told me that they had gotten kicked out of a local shelter and she had just goy out of the hospital. Radio update! This radio program is just not one you will want to miss this week! So tune in and please pray about supporting radio if you are blessed by it! (Wednesday-Yeshua's Birthday)Boy mom made a wonderful feast last night! I am unsure how many showed up for the feast but it turned out very well! Today I am writting this some are still sleeping inisde in the comfort of no one to bother them and just get up when they want. I was really surprised as I had some people in Wichita say they were bringing us some food items and some blankets but they never showed? I guess that is all that needs said there, I will say I have one homeless fellow who is getting the picture, he says I do so much but yet these homeless agencies are getting money, supporting each other but you get nothing and are doing more. He was saddened when no blankets came, how can I make him understand? I am not an agencey, it hurts me to see him dissapointed in these people? I have to just let him undertsand that our help comes for the Lord. I am not upset with anyone who does not help, I am jsut thankful when anything comes from anyone or any source as what does come, comes from the Lord.... Saints if at all possible we need your help as I must drive home to do radio today and I need gas money....as our funds are at 70 cents...the Lord is wonderful He will provide through His people that hear His voice.....Please lift us in prayer today when you read this...... Oh yes I am thankful a person has came back in our lives, may the Lord Bless Sarina and her young son.The LORD bless thee and keep thee; The LORD make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee shalom. (peace)

Shalom in Yeshua Messiah
It's been such a wonderful week serving the Lord and feeding His people. When we made the decission to spend the Feast of Tabernacles here at the Mission we had no funding or supplies to stay open and do it. We had several different people say they would do this or that an thus far none of them have kept their word. We were told again this year that blankets would not be a problem but neither of the people who said they would provide blankets have kept their word. One of the homeless men here spent the day on the phone trying to get any of the agengies here in town to donate blankets, to our surprise the Salvation Army came through with 24. Tuesday night we closed so that I could begin preparing the Feast for Yeshua's birthday. I really enjoyed being able to cook such a huge meal all alone in my nice big kitchen. After I cleaned up everything from dinner I stuffed a twenty pound side of beef with carrots, celery & onions then topped it with ten pounds of quartered potatoes and cooked it in my slow cooker twenty two hours. Wednesday I spent all day cooking, I made two large meatloafs, twenty pounds fried chicken, sweet potatoes, baked beans, Angel eggs, ten pounds of boiled potatoes, buttered corn, two chocolate chip brownie cakes then I frosted one with cream cheese frosting and made a pine apple upside down cake. I also made a huge bowl of chicken salad and another big slow cooker full of chili for today because it was Sabbath and I couldn't cook today. We had a really good turn out and the only thing left over for today was a half of meatloaf and about half of the sweets. A gentalmen who reads our Mission updates brought some pine nuts, chocolate bars, promogrants, beef sausage rolls an cheese that I set out to snack on today. He also brought two big bags of sphagetti two big jars of sauce and two nice loafs of bread that I plan to use tomorrow. We need your help with funding so Please pray about helping us. Nothing has changed since my last update as far as bills except that many more have come in. Everything here at the Mission has really depleted from being open everyday so we need supplies NOW. The meat in the freezers is nearly gone and the food accounts have been empty for two months. I did get a hundred an eighty dollars for this weeks food but that really did'nt last long. I bought sixty dozen eggs an there are thirteen dozen left for tomorrow. The eggs alone cost 1.29 a dozen so you can figure by that how much it cost to feed such a meal. I did get thirty dollars today from a person who comes every week to serve and clean up. I will use it tomorrow for more eggs as we will need them being the enmd of the month we will be packed.
PLEASE PLEASE take this to pray we need support to be able to stay open next week and feed like we want to. I will need another sixty dozen eggs and I need to prepare another feast for next Wednesday. the van sits out back with no gas and I don't even think it will make it to the library and back tomorrow to pick up the people. I will close for now lift us up in Prayer and ask if you should help we need you now. The LORD is in control will you be the one to HELP?
More on the mission next update love sisterlinda/family & Messiah's Branch
This struck me as unique and very informative, as well as entertaining*.. I love it*.. Read to the
bottom where the best equation is found!
The Beauty of Math!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...
What is 101%, from a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If each letter of the alphabet: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R ST U V W X Y Z
Is represented as a numeric value:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
**H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K**
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
* *K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E**
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
* *A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E**
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
* *L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D**
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
