Divine Instructions ✡ "You Must Open Your Hand" - Israel365

Rather, you must open your hand and lend him sufficient for whatever he needs. Deuteronomy 15:8 (The Israel Bible™)   כִּי־פָתֹחַ תִּפְתַּח אֶת־יָדְךָ לוֹ וְהַעֲבֵט תַּעֲבִיטֶנּוּ דֵּי מַחְסֹרוֹ אֲשֶׁר יֶחְסַר לוֹ דברים טו:ח kee pa-TOKH teef-TAKH et yad-KHA lo ve'e'-ha-VET ta-a'-vee-TAY-nu die makh-se-RO a-SHER yekh-SAR lo

Today's Israel Inspiration Deuteronomy 15:8 provides divine instruction regarding the needy. In the preceding verse, God commands the children of Israel to "not harden your heart and shut your hand against your needy kinsman." The Bible then provides an explanation of how this commandment is to be fulfilled. Rashi, a revered 11th century Biblical scholar, comments that it is possible that one may have to give or open his/her hand repeatedly in order to fully satisfy the needs of their kinsman. While there is no Biblical commandment to make a poor man rich, there is indeed a commandment to sufficiently provide for the needy. Unfortunately, many of God's Children in Israel are living in poverty are in dire need of financial assistance. Young children and the elderly alike do not have access to proper food, clothing, and medication. November is the month of giving. Open your hand to God's people.   Make a gift » Israel Bars Pro-BDS European Officials From Entering Country Enforcing new legislation which prevents anti-Israel activists from entering the country, Israel has blocked visits by several European officials seeking to meet with ‘archterrorist’ Marwan Barghouti in jail.  Watch » Egyptologists Discover Pits Filled With Giant Severed Hands in “Joseph’s Palace” A creepy find by egyptologists of a pit full of ancient severed hands confirms a theory about a disturbing ancient Egyptian practice.

That acclaim is quite a rarity for a Christian artist. Though, like many Christians in the rap game, NF has pushed back against the label. That's because his music isn't just aimed at the Christian market.

"If you're a Christian and you're a plumber, are you a Christian plumber?" he's quoted as saying in an article in Idolator.

Labels aside, NF's lyrics routinely share his relationship with God.

In one song he proclaims, "I don't live for the world. I live for the king. I live for the king."

The Michigan native uses his music to open up about the pain in his life, from his parents' divorce to the day his mother died from an overdose.

In a freestyle rap called "Rhyme and Reason - Real," NF talks a bit about his faith journey and how God has given him rap to help him along the way.

"I've been through hell in my life though. But I know where heaven is. Father forgive me for I am a sinner, but you gave me music as medicine," he raps.

You can watch that here, and hear him talk a bit about his recent struggles in the hip-hop world:

"I stand behind these words: I'm a Christian but I'm not perfect," NF says.You can sample his music for yourself here:

November 16, 2017	Follow Maoz Israel Ministries
Birthing Israel, Changing History: THE BALFOUR DECLARATION      By Shira Sorko-Ram (As featured in the November Maoz Israel Report)           November 2, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Balfour Declaration, in which Great Britain declared that "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object..."        When Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas heard that Britain was preparing to celebrate the centennial of this famous document and all that it has represented concerning the rebirth of the state of Israel, he appealed to Arab leaders "to sue the British government for this historic crime that has brought upon the Palestinian people a tragedy from which it suffers to this day."        Abbas urged Britain "to atone for this crime" by taking a series of measures, including "apologizing to the Palestinian people; recognizing the Palestinian state without delay; revoking the Balfour Declaration, and issuing a new declaration in its stead that does justice for the Palestinians, and compensating the Palestinians for the suffering caused by the declaration, just as Germany compensated the Jews for the Holocaust."      Continue Reading...
