Thank brother and pastor David, for allowing our Fathers Holy Spirit to; beautifully speak through you. Please pray for me, that I can allow Him to work through me, and that I won’t be hesitate to listen, learn and be still with Him. I realized I’ve been the one to resist His love and protection, because of the lie of was taught, that I’m not enough, and I don’t deserve love. He just taught me that wanting Him to be proud of me is dangerous. I realized, this isn’t a what Lucifer thought. ( I could be wrong about that, and maybe it’s just a message to me?) either way, I feel His presence and great love; so awesomely now!!! I don’t have the desire to make Him proud, I just want to love Him and do His will. I love our Lord Jesus Christ because He’s the only person whom has ever loved me in my life. Elohim, is the Most Beautiful and amazing truth I’ve ever known in my entire life!! Thank you Father for helping me understand, these past 2 1/2 years is what working out my faith means! lol 😆 The hardest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life, but the most fulfilling venture in history for all!

The audacity of Laban, God had warned him to watch what he said to Jacob, but yet he still threatened him. 😬

Thank you Pastor Guzik. I see that the passage points to Jesus in this way: Laban pursues hotly pursues Jacob intending harm and even threatens his life. Our Lord and savior pursues us to lavish his love on us and to give us life and rest.

Pastor David, I am confused on what land is what and where? Is Gods chosen people from Israel or from bethel? Which I looked up and it says bethel is now called luz? I am asking because there was currently and attack on modern day Israel, are those people Gods chosen people?

Different character on shelf today

I find it interesting that Laban has idols and believes in multiple gods, yet recognizes the blessings Jacob receives from God. Same with the stone conversation here- "May the Lord watch between you and me when we are absent one from another, " Which is an interesting thing to say if Laban believed otherwise, in multiple gods? And.. I find it interesting that Jacob recognizes all the blessings FROM God, that he's seen Angels and have had direct messages from God, yet still doesn't refer to God as HIS God! I'm studying for the first time through your videos.. there's so much to unpack here!

50:26 But he said he wouldn't pass to the other side "for harm." It wasn't permanent.
