Hebrew Nation Online | Living Torah – Mike Clayton

Everyone has their place in this journey of exile to Kingdom. Our walk is to be as anointed by the blessing of His name and presence in our lives. The Blessing contains everything we need for our walk, spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. Joinedtohashem.org

The account of the Book of Numbers is to teach of a day which is coming or maybe already is. Learning the lessons of the past is essential to our forward walk. Each person is significant in the journey. Not all will be famous, but all are needed. Joinedtohashem.org

Before we look at the las chapters of Leviticus I give a brief update of my Israel trip. How is our walk and is it bringing life? To that question, it is not as important what our answer is, but rather what is the answer of those who are watching? Joinedtohashem.org

In the final hours before leaving for Israel I combined the next two weeks into one. It was a bit difficult to focus, but in the end here it is. Never ceases to amaze me just how much there is in the Torah portion titles!

So many people today believe the Torah to be an outdated document that has been replaced. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Yes, the Hebrews who the Torah was given to may have lived as a time very different from ours but the truth of Torah was, is and will ever be truth. It […]

Back to the Book of Leviticus and instructions to Aaron after the death of his sons. These words bring forth a topic that is very much needed in our day and in fact, tie into the recent observance of Earth Day. The Book of Romans has much to say regarding that. Joinedtohashem.org

We are called to celebrate and observe Passover, not “Pastover”. Passover is not only about events of the past, but about a person of our present who is leading us to our future. I have something in common with the current VP! Who would have ever thought that? Joinedtohashem.org

When covenant is replaced by tradition the result will be bondage. In this Passover season may we put aside the traditions of our past in order to embrace the covenant of our future. Joinedtohashem.org

Yah desires us to be clean so we can be fruitful. Let us not reject the work He brings by blaming the work on someone or something else. King David experienced this and was restored to fruitfulness. Entering the process though revolves around the meaning of the Hyssop plant. Joinedtohashem.org

The birth of a baby gives us an amazing picture of the work of redemption. The verses pertaining to leprosy are many times overlooked as irrelevant, but without them we will miss a later revealed experience regarding Na’aman, which speaks all too clearly of our day. Joinedtohashem.org

With events of this world many are praying more serious for His Kingdom to come soon and in our day. His Kingdom is not the final goal though. The “Eighth day” is the goal. Maybe the Kingdom is just a transition from this era to the era which will be revealed after the thousand years. […]

The offerings give us a picture of our relationship with our Creator. Each one tells of a different facet. The first is the Olah offering, which can be likened to a staircase which connects our realm with His. The peace offering shows us how to turn chaos into order. Joinedtohashem.org

The Book of Leviticus is so misunderstood. It is not just a list of dos and don’ts, but rather it is a revelation into the very being of our Creator. Each offering has special meaning. This week we focus on the difference between inadvertent and willing sin. Is it enough to just say “I’m sorry?” […]

Many will dwell on the failures of the Hebrews in the wilderness. How about we focus on when they not only got something right, but they got it real right. Their work then still speaks loudly today. From the priest’s robes and the placement of the stones to bells and pomegranates. So much to take […]

We continue with the amazing picture of the Tabernacle and the lessons it brings forth for our lives. In the end, it would become a witness of the faithfulness of those who gave to the right offering for the right purpose. The people could see what they gave and take pride in the results. We […]

Why was Moshe not given dimensions regarding the laver ad what is the significance of its placement? The account of the Golden Calf tells of a tragic day in the life of the Hebrews. How is this day playing out again and how do we bring it to a close? The breaking of the stones […]

The Tabernacle in the wilderness is one of the most entreating structures ever built by human hands. The Book of Hebrews tells us that the earthly Tabernacle was a mirror image of that which is operating and fully functional in the Heavenly realm.  Part of the beauty of this structure is it’s complex simplicity, a […]

Buying a Hebrew slave may be pretty far from our life in 2022. We have a choice of just passing over these verses or seeing the richness which comes from a change of attitude toward the owner of the house. Are we living out of have to or want to? Joinedtohashem.org

The ten words have been misunderstood and therefore misapplied. This week we look at these words from a different angle, instruction and standards to those who have entered The Father’s house. Joinedtohashem.org

One may look good on the outside, but not be prepared on the inside. Yah knew this regarding the Hebrews and led them in the way that could bring a maturing. Is He doing the same for us today? Learning to celebrate victories is a key to overcoming trials. Joinedtohashem.org

Why did all the events of Egypt have to happen? One reason is so the Hebrews would have the stories to pass on to generations not yet born. This concept brings a question for us today. What stories are we passing on? Is what we are passing on actually worth passing on? Joinedtohashem.org

The blueprint for our exodus was laid out centuries ago. That which was, will again be or maybe now is. It was a time of conflict and will once again be conflict. To be victorious over the conflict we must understand where it begins. Joinedtohashem.org

Our calling will bring us to a conflict with self-imposed self-limitations.  What we do in the midst of that conflict is not about us, but about others. What blessings are we keeping from others by not dealing with ourselves? Joinedtohashem.org

The account of Joseph is the greatest mystery novel ever written. It is the book behind the book that takes it to another level though.  The twists and turns of this story are still being lived out through our lives today. Joinedtohashem.org

The account of Joseph paints a picture of days yet to come. Are we ready? Have we stored that which is truly important? What if we are in the midst of the cycles today? Joinedtohashem.org
