Here and Now:
I wasn't able to rest well last night because of the so many troubles that I need to face today, I can't enjoy my shabbat because I have to deal with a stealing worker, who have stolen thousands from us and in my spirit I know he has to be dealt with and I am praying for GOD's grace upon me to help me deal with the difficult matter, I know I can't do this without GOD, and I am asking HIM to carry me, redeem me from all the difficulties of life, be merciful to me and carry me through it all like this picture for I am HIS bride and HE is my husband.

Parshat Noach, 7th Portion (Bereshit (Genesis) 11:1-11:32)
Genesis 11 Complete Jewish Bible
1 (S: vii) The whole earth used the same language, the same words. 2 It came about that as they traveled from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shin‘ar and lived there. 3 They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them in the fire.” So they had bricks for building-stone and clay for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city with a tower that has its top reaching up into heaven, so that we can make a name for ourselves and not be scattered all over the earth.”
5 Adonai came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 Adonai said, “Look, the people are united, they all have a single language, and see what they’re starting to do! At this rate, nothing they set out to accomplish will be impossible for them! 7 Come, let’s go down and confuse their language, so that they won’t understand each other’s speech.” 8 So from there Adonai scattered them all over the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 For this reason it is called Bavel [confusion] — because there Adonai confused the language of the whole earth, and from there Adonai scattered them all over the earth.
(Maftir) 29 Then Avram and Nachor took wives for themselves. The name of Avram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nachor’s wife was Milkah the daughter of Haran. He was the father of Milkah and of Yiskah. 30 Sarai was barren — she had no child. 31 Terach took his son Avram, his son Haran’s son Lot, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Avram’s wife; and they left Ur of the Kasdim to go to the land of Kena‘an. But when they came to Haran, they stayed there. 32 Terach lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.

Isaiah 54:1-55:5 New King James Version
A Perpetual Covenant of Peace
1 “Sing, O barren, You who have not borne!
Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have not labored with child!
For more are the children of the desolate Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes.
3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.
4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;
For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
5 For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.
6 For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,” Says your God.
7 “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
11 “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an [a]instrument for his work; And I have created the [b]spoiler to destroy.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
Isaiah 55
1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
2 Why do you [c]spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—The sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people.
5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”
Ezekiel 21 New King James Version
Babylon, the Sword of God
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, preach[a] against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel; 3 and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am against you, and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off both righteous and wicked from you. 4 Because I will cut off both righteous and wicked from you, therefore My sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north, 5 that all flesh may know that I, the Lord, have drawn My sword out of its sheath; it shall not return anymore.” ’ 6 Sigh therefore, son of man, with [b]a breaking heart, and sigh with bitterness before their eyes. 7 And it shall be when they say to you, ‘Why are you sighing?’ that you shall answer, ‘Because of the news; when it comes, every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming and shall be brought to pass,’ says the Lord God.”
8 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord!’ Say:
‘A sword, a sword is sharpened And also polished!
10 Sharpened to make a dreadful slaughter, Polished to flash like lightning!
Should we then make mirth? It despises the scepter of My son, As it does all wood.
11 And He has given it to be polished, That it may be handled;
This sword is sharpened, and it is polished To be given into the hand of the slayer.’
12 “Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against My people, Against all the princes of Israel.
Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh.
13 “Because it is a testing, And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
The scepter shall be no more,” says the Lord God.
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy, And strike your hands together.
The third time let the sword do double damage. It is the sword that slays,
The sword that slays the great men, That enters their private chambers.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! It is made bright; It is grasped for slaughter:
16 “Swords[c] at the ready! Thrust right! Set your blade! Thrust left—Wherever your [d]edge is ordered!
17 “I also will beat My fists together, And I will cause My fury to rest; I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying: 19 “And son of man, appoint for yourself two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to go; both of them shall go from the same land. Make a sign; put it at the head of the road to the city. 20 Appoint a road for the sword to go to Rabbah of the Ammonites, and to Judah, into fortified Jerusalem. 21 For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the road, at the fork of the two roads, to use divination: he shakes the arrows, he consults the [e]images, he looks at the liver. 22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem: to set up battering rams, to call for a slaughter, to lift the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a siege mound, and to build a wall. 23 And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
24 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.
25 ‘Now to you, O profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end, 26 thus says the Lord God:
“Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.
27 [f]Overthrown, overthrown, I will make it overthrown! It shall be no longer,
Until He comes whose right it is, And I will give it to Him.” ’
A Sword Against the Ammonites
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say:
‘A sword, a sword is drawn, Polished for slaughter, For consuming, for flashing—
29 While they see false visions for you, While they divine a lie to you, To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slain Whose day has come, Whose iniquity shall end.
30 ‘Return it to its sheath. I will judge you In the place where you were created,
In the land of your [g]nativity.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath,
And deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be fuel for the fire; Your blood shall be in the midst of the land.
You shall not be remembered, For I the Lord have spoken.’ ”
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! 3 Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself. 4 You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries. 5 Those near and those far from you will mock you as [h]infamous and full of tumult.
6 “Look, the princes of Israel: each one has used his [i]power to shed blood in you. 7 In you they have made light of father and mother; in your midst they have oppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the [j]fatherless and the widow. 8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths. 9 In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness. 10 In you men uncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are set apart during their impurity. 11 One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you violates his sister, his father’s daughter. 12 In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten Me,” says the Lord God.
13 “Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst. 14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it. 15 I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you. 16 You shall defile yourself in the sight of the nations; then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
Israel in the Furnace
17 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace; they have become dross from silver. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you. 21 Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out My fury on you.’ ”
Israel’s Wicked Leaders
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 24 “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that is not [k]cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’ 25 The conspiracy of her [l]prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured [m]people; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 Her priests have [n]violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy [o]people, and to get dishonest gain. 28 Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord had not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God.
Luke 9:37-62 New King James Version
A Boy Is Healed
37 Now it happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him. 38 Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You, look on my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him. 40 So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”
41 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [a]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and [b]bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.
Jesus Again Predicts His Death
43 And they were all amazed at the majesty of God.
But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples, 44 “Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” 45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
Who Is the Greatest?
46 Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a little child and set him by Him, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great.”
Jesus Forbids Sectarianism
49 Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against [c]us is on [d]our side.”
A Samaritan Village Rejects the Savior
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, [e]just as Elijah did?”
55 But He turned and rebuked them, [f]and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 [g]For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
The Cost of Discipleship
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.”
But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Prayers:
Abba Father. I come to you, Father God, in my need, in my despair, in my sorrow, Father God. Knowing you are The Great I Am and the Holy One of Israel. You are my savior, and you will always be the one who saves me, upholds me, who rescues me, because you are the one who loves me, Father. I have so many sorrows, Lord. I have so many troubles, God, and I want to lay them all down at your feet, God. I want to lay them all down at your feet because I cannot handle them on my own. It's too difficult, God, and I am but a child. I have no one, and I am nothing. If not for you, who made me into something. Father God, I just want to thank you for the workers who care about what's going on in our workplace, who care about other people stealing from us. But, Lord, today, I cannot even rest on my Shabbat. I have to go to workplace, Lord. I have to face these issues. But I am asking you, Father, to grant me power, love, sound mind, authority, so that evil will bow down, oh God, for you are my righteousness, you said. And my righteousness comes from you. And I take hold of your promise, Lord, that says, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in courts I will condemn," because this is my heritage, because my righteousness comes from you. Lord, in spite of all things, you are asking me to sing because you are blessing me. You're asking me to expand my territory because you are blessing me. And indeed, you said, "Blessed are those who go through many trials." Lord, I cannot take it. I'm too weak. These trials will destroy me if you're not going to carry me through. I'm asking you, Father God, help me today, and I pray that those who have sinned against us, against me, will have sorrowful repentance, Father God. I pray that you will deal with them. I pray that you will speak to them. I pray that you will cast out the evil from them. I pray that they will repent and bow their heads and humble themselves before you. Father, I pray that you will help me to use the sword that you have sharpened for me. I don't know what to do, Lord, but I will go with your spirit. I will walk, and I will not faint. I will do everything according to your leading, Father God, because I really don't know what to do, and you are the one, oh God, who enables me, who strengthens me, who lifts me up from my lowly place. Father, thank you for your promise in Isaiah 54 to 55. Thank you. I take hold of it. I take hold of it. And even in Genesis 11, you reminded me of the name Yiska. That even though Sarah was barren, she has so many children now, and in heaven, she sees them all. Lord, do not let me die without seeing my children, my husband, whom you have promised me. Today, you are promising me these things. God, today I am barren, yet you are promising me these things, and so I ask you, Lord, help me. Help me, Jesus, as I lay all my burdens down at your feet. I'm asking you, Lord, to convict the wicked, that they will bow down before you, that they will bow down to your power, oh God. That they will tremble at my sight. They will submit to your power and the authority you have given me. Father, I'm asking you to deal with the wicked, to deal with those who are stealing. Lord. Especially sigori karon, Lord. Si Ryan, James, Gori. Lesar Ramil. I pray that these wicked men will bow down before you and submit to you, oh God, and humble themselves before you. Lord, right now, I am bowing myself to you. I am submitting myself to you because I have no other one who helps me, who upholds me. Not a lawyer, not even June is there taking away my help, God. But you are my help. Ebenezer, you are my help. You are my Eleazar, God. Send me somebody to help me in these problems. There's no one, Lord, but all my servants who are women. But, Lord, even the women you can use, even us, Lord God, who are dependent on you and lowly, you can use us. Father God, send me the help that I need. Even Ma'am Lagman, I pray that you will just touch her heart to help me. Touch people's hearts, Lord God, to help me, to support me, to look favorably upon me. Jesus, I have so many troubles, but I will not be afraid of them. I will not be weakened before them because you carry me, and I will only look with triumph against my enemies as you punish, Lord God, as you bring about your justice. Lord, whatever I'm doing wrong, please help me to do what is right. Please help me to do what is right. Please let me be righteous before you. Please help me, God. Even today, where I feel like my Shabbat has been stolen from me, bring back my Shabbat. Bring it back to me, Father God, I pray. Help me, Father God. Deal with everything that needs to be dealt with. Help me, Father God. Help me, Lord Jesus, to face every issue, every trial with power, with grace, with wisdom. I ask you, Holy Spirit, give me wisdom, give me understanding, give me courage. Give me, Lord God, because you are everything that I need, and I cannot do anything without you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for your promises. I hold onto them. I cling to them with a lowly heart, with a contrite spirit. With brokenness, I cling to every word you have said, for you alone are God. You are great and almighty. Thank you, God. All the glory, all the honor, all the power belongs to you. In the name of Yeshua, I pray that you will take hold of this day and my confrontation with Ryan James Corrie. Please, Father God, take hold of this day. Please, Father God, prepare his heart. Let him be repentant already, even now, as he comes to the office. Let him be filled with the holy fear of God, knowing that he can be punished for every wrong he is doing, for every stealing that he has been doing. I pray, Father God, help us. Help us, Lord Jesus, help us. Grant us your mercy, Lord Jesus, grant us. Grant us your grace, Lord Jesus. I pray, Father God, have mercy, oh God, have mercy. Have mercy, oh God. Teach me. Tell me what to do. Help me, Father God, help me. Help me, Jesus. Send help, Lord, from the government. Send help, oh God, send help. Have mercy, oh God, have mercy. All glory and honor belongs to you, oh God. It's nothing of me. All for you. All of you. Baruch Ha Shem Yeshua HaMashiach. Amen.
