Hey Everyone, For those who are looking for a bible study to do this weekend, please look at Eph 4:17-32. I watched a pastor with a group of millennial men go through these verses with amazing power to change in the lives of these men. The pastor approached these verses as "Paul's prescription to change." Meaning that by following the key passages, memorizing the Scripture and doing introspection (hopefully by asking the Holy Spirit) we can pinpoint in our lives areas of sin or change needed to live a praiseworthy life to God. Remember that Titus 2:10-12 shows us that we don't have the power to change without God's help. He will teach us to move from ungodliness (anything that does not please God), and this is how we know we are in Grace; because we are moving toward pleasing God versus living selfish lives. I love this saying; "it is all about a relationship with God, not religion". Please remember to share about biblestudycompany.com

I would like to put a prayer request in for one of my best friends. She really feels another baby needs to come into their family, but she got some unfortunate news about her back health. Please pray that she heals and feels comfort that God is with her throughout this process.

My husband and I read Psalms 91 this morning together and had a great discussion. I feel at peace and protected today. 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Love it!

I would like to put out a prayer request for my friend Tami.  She is having a major reproductive surgery today. Thank you!

I love you everybody

Want to wish you all a blessed Shabbat! I encourage you to go to the LoveIsrael.org website, click on "events" in the navigational bar, and you will see Baruch's current speaking schedule. Hope to see you at a location near you! Blessings!

Here is a commentary written by Baruch at LoveIsrael.org concerning this week's Torah Portion--Shemot. Blessings and Shabbat Shalom! Parashat Sh’mot (Names) Exodus 1:1-6:1 Haftarah: Isaiah 27:6-28:13, 29:22-23 How do you respond when you see other people being blessed? Often the success of other people causes those around them to be envious. First, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be blessed too. The problem is this: instead of applying the same principles that brought about the blessings in those other people’s lives, individuals attempt to stop those blessings from continuing. A good example of this is the Egyptians. In this week’s Torah reading, it is clear that HaShem was blessing the Hebrews in their dwelling place in Egypt, Goshen. The Hebrews grew and multiplied and became a strong people in a relatively short period of time. The Egyptians saw this and instead of coming before the Hebrews and asking what was the source of this blessing and implementing the answer into their lives, what was their response? Their response was malice and to enslave the Hebrews and attempt to exterminate them by killing all their male offspring. There is something very similar taking place today. The tiny nation of Israel, only 65 years old, has grown and advanced in a manner that far surpasses it neighbors. The success story of the modern nation of Israel is truly a sign of G-d’s continued call upon the Jewish people. Instead of the other nations taking note of this, there is an utter complicity in regard to those who are calling for Israel’s destruction. Under the leadership of the United States, Iran is being allowed to continue their nuclear program. The prophet Malachi, 2,400 years ago, described an attitude that will surely bring about the judgment of G-d. “You have wearied HaShem with your words; yet you have said, “With what have we wearied (You)? (HaShem answers) When you say, “All who do evil (in reality do) good in the eyes of the L-rd and what He desires; or (when you say) where is the G-d of judgment?” Malachi 2:17 Although the actual meaning of the Hebrew verb is to weary someone, in this context the idea which is being expressed is one of contempt. HaShem will have contempt for those individuals who call evil good or doubts that G-d will judge sin. Prophetically, Iran will play an important role in the future, as this nation will lead other nations to attack Israel (See Daniel chapter 8). But Iran will not be successful. Be aware that this war will not be the final conflict; rather, it will only serve to bring the Antichrist into power and set things up for the end times. History has a way of repeating itself, yet many ignore the numerous examples of what has happened to those nations which have attacked Israel in the past. Will the United States of America will also join that illustrious list?

Today Baruch and I are in Romania, where he is taping shows today and tomorrow and also teaching a Conference over the next several days. Here is my latest blog post: https://loveisraelconnection.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/travel-day-2/
