Effective communication requires attentive listening and confirmation a message is received, perhaps via a reply or acting on the information delivered. The passages in Luke 10:38–11:13 and Matthew 6 contain lessons in effectively listening to God and talking with Him.
Building on our first discussion of lessons in communicating with God, we will explore the second lesson: Get the will-ies when asking for God’s will to be done in forgiveness and ways God is re-establishing dominion on Earth.

The first lesson is in the account of Yeshua’s visit to the home of Marta and Miriam in Bethany. This is not just a little biographical story. It’s a lesson, starting with the names of the women themselves.
Remember that the number three is a Messianic reference. This third-year tithe is a reference to the Messiah: His sacrifice, God’s acceptance of the Messiah’s sacrifice and, from that point, God will make those who accept the Messiah’s sacrifice into His people.
God’s severe instruction for dealing with someone who has dreams or receives messages that come true and who performs miracles is sobering. It was not a problem for a prophet or dreamer outside the Levitical community to perform miracles or have visions. This passage also covers God’s actual instructions for what is commonly called the “third tithe.”
Last week, we read Moses told the people over and over that they were to destroy all the places where the people of the land worshipped their gods. He told the people that after they destroy all the places the people of the land worship their gods, they were to be thoughtful about what place they use to make their offerings and kill their food animals. In the rest of chapter 12, Moses told Israel there will come a time when there will be only one place where the people will be allowed to present sacrificial animals to the Lord.
Adultery and divorce are rampant problems in modern society, even among the body of believers in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah. Rather than changing the words of Torah, Prophets and Writings on these two topics, Yeshua closes loopholes in interpretations of adultery laws and expands the meaning of adultery, in keeping with other teachings in the Scriptures.
How do we qualify to enter into the kingdom of Messiah and rule with Him as priests and kings?
No grander or greater opportunity will come to any human being than to be call by the God of Creation to a position of leadership and teacher as a priest/king, ruling under King Yeshua for 1,000 years. This is a time when God will begin got restore all thongs lost by the judgement brought about by Adam’s disobedience. Our Earth has been under a curse for 6,000 years ruled by Satan, who is “the prince of the power of the air.”
The goal of this study is to identify and examine the Scriptures that show how the called out “firstfruits” can guarantee their place in the Kingdom of God.
