Wednesday, 29 Tevet 5785 / January 29, 2025

Event
Prayer Night, 4th day Fast, Holiday

Here and Now
Woke up past my waking time at 6:19AM, lingered in bed, thinking about why GOD wants me to leave this place according to Exodus 33:1. First time I read those words, as a directive from GOD to me. I have so much going on this Saturday, I guess I will just have to forego them, coz when GOD says go, I go

Scriptures
Torah: Parshat Bo, 4th Portion (Shemot (Exodus) 11:4-12:20)
Exodus 11:4-12:20
English Standard Version
4 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. 6 There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. 7 But not a dog shall growl against any of the people of Israel, either man or beast, that you may know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’ 8 And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger. 9 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.

Exodus 12
The Passover
1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, 6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.[a]
7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. 8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. 10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. 11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. 13 The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast. 15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you. 17 And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. 18 In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”


Last Night's Reading
Exodus 32-34

Exodus 33
Tree of Life Version
1 Then Adonai said to Moses, “Leave, get out of this place, you and the people that you have brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’ 2 I will send an angel before you. I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and the Jebusites.


Bible in a Year
Job 11-14; Matthew 20:1-19; Psalm 17:6-12

Job 13
13 Be silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may.
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and take my life in my hands?
15 Even if He slays me, I will wait for Him; I will surely defend my ways before Him.
16 This, too, will be my salvation for no godless can come before Him.

Matthew 20:1-19
Tree of Life Version
Parable of the Day Laborers
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he had agreed with the workers for a denarius per day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing in the marketplace, idle. 4 And to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing around. And he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle the whole day?’
7 “‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him.
“He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard, too.’
8 “Now when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.’ 9 And those who had come about the eleventh hour each received a denarius. 10 And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; yet they too received a denarius.
11 “But when they received it, they began to grumble against the master of the house, 12 saying, ‘These last guys did one hour, and you’ve made them equal to us, who bore the burden and scorching heat of the day!’
13 “But answering, he said to one of them, ‘Friend, I’m doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me on a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go. But I want to give this last guy the same as you. 15 Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first last.”
Third Prediction: Death and Resurrection
17 Now as Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, He took the Twelve aside privately; and on the way he told them, 18 “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the ruling kohanim and Torah scholars. They will condemn Him to death 19 and hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify. Yet on the third day, He will be raised up.”[a]

Psalm 17:6-12
Tree of Life Version
6 I called upon You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7 Be wonderful with Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those taking refuge at Your right hand
from those rising up against them.

8 Protect me like the pupil of the eye. Hide me in the shadow of Your wings,
9 from the wicked who attack me— my enemies, who surround me.
10 Their callous heart they shut tight. With their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Our steps are now surrounded. They set their eyes to throw us down to the ground,
12 like a lion eager to tear to pieces, like a young lion crouching in cover.


Observation
When I ask GOD about specific things like this Saturday's sudden event, and I don't know whether I want to go or not, but I am leaning onto staying than going but GOD says Go! I just have to go, I don't know how I should feel about it, surprised at this sudden invitation, and I was looking forwarding to breaking the fast with all the Saints... I have so many reasons to stay, comfort, I have already set my mind to breaking fast, I was already planning to fast without any food for 3 days until Saturday... 

Application
but never mind, I will just go where GOD sends me without thinking or feeling too much about it, but I am praying that GOD will give me the energy, the will and desire to at least do what HE wants me to do. I don't want to argue with GOD, I don't want to have second thoughts and doubt, but I could use a new environment, and I will break my fast where GOD leads me on Saturday.

Prayers
Dear AVI,
O GOD My GOD! Blessed are YOU O KING of the Universe! Last night, I did not want to feel anything after doing what YOU asked me to do, I know that I did my best, and I think that is all that matters. Thank you for prophetic words I read just when I am begining to feel cold about things, YOU are warming things up, I just need to keep going... so help me GOD, help me obey YOU, take full control over me and if YOU desire me to fast without food at all then let it be done unto me, wherever that YOUR spirit leads and wherever YOU are taking me. So help me GOD! Help me FATHER! I need YOU LORD I need YOU, every hour I need YOU... thank YOU for everything YOU are doing in my life. Please just lead me, guide me, take care of me, my dogs, my family and I will do whatever YOU want! Just give me the peace to do it, without thinking about myself. Help me KING JESUS live my life for YOU, do my best for YOU. I will abandon myself to YOU. I will trust YOU O GOD, so I pray take care of my family and my relationship with them. Let YOUR Kingdom come and YOUR will  be done, please prepare my husband and I for the life YOU have called us to live. Prepare us O GOD, and our families, bless all my going and coming O GOD, please just be the center of my life and heart. For YOU and in YOU alone do I have satisfaction and love!

In the Name of JESUS I pray Amen!
