“LET'S BUILD TOGETHER”

6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore, you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. 7 Yet from the days of your fathers, you have gone away from My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’” - Malachi 3:6-7 (NKJV)


Reflection of the Book of Malachi:
•  Reflect His Glory – Tithing is Gratitude, which turns lack into testimony and overflow. (Malachi 3:10) 
- It is your GIVING 
•  Remember His Goodness – Your faithfulness is written in His Book of Remembrance. (Malachi 3:16) 
- It is your SERVING 
•  Revere His Name – Those who honor Him become His treasured possession. (Malachi 3:17) 
- It is YOUR REWARD 
•  Respond to His Call - Your Involvement is a direct response to His involvement in your life (Malachi 4:6) 
- It is your FAMILY CALLING  

5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6 And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” - Malachi 4:5-6 (NKJV)

13 “When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, 'Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ 14 ‘Well,’ they replied, ‘some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” - Matthew 16:13-14 (NLT)

2 “As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. 3 Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus…5 But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”...7 Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” And when they looked up, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus.” - Matthew 17:2-3,5,7-8 (NLT)

•  Moses Represents the LAW 
•  Elijah Represents the PROPHETS 

5 “God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. 6 And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” 7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are His child, God has made you His heir.” - Galatians 4:5-7 (NLT)

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, God through us.” - 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV)

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” - Galatians 6:9-10 (NKJV)

14 “For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” - Ephesians 3:14-15 (NKJV)

“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will BUILD My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18 (NKJV)

“For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.”  - 1 Corinthians 3:9-10 (NKJV)

1. HE INVESTED WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME - MY SALVATION 
2. I GET TO INVEST IN WHAT WAS GIVEN TO ME - HIS CHURCH 
3. TOGETHER WE GET TO INVEST IN WHAT WAS TRUSTED TO US - HIS HARVEST
OPEN HEAVEN #5: "POSITIONED FOR AN OUTPOURING & READY FOR REVIVAL" by Rabbi Brian Bileci

“Bring all the TITHES (the whole TENTH of your income) into the STOREHOUSE, that there may be food in My House, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not OPEN the WINDOWS OF HEAVEN for you and pour you out a BLESSING, that there shall not be ROOM enough to receive it.” - Malachi 3:10 (AMPC)

HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF FOR AN OUTPOURING & STAY READY FOR REVIVAL:

1. ALIGN YOURSELF WITH HEAVEN’S MISSION & PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH

– Let His Word Set You Apart & His Spirit Set You on Fire
 
2 But who can endure the day of HIS COMING? Who can stand when he APPEARS? For he will be like a REFINER’S FIRE or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a REFINER and purifier of silver” - Malachi 3:10,12-14 (AMPC)

“...the kingdom of heaven will be like ten BRIDESMAIDS [virgins] who took their lamps and went to wait for [meet] the BRIDEGROOM. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise...3 The five foolish...did not take more OIL for the LAMPS to BURN. 4 The wise ...took their LAMPS and more OIL in jars [flasks]. - Matthew 25:1-4 (EXB)

Revival doesn’t begin with crowds, miracles, or music—revival begins with a supernatural fire, and not the emotional fire of a mere moment, but the refiner’s fire of holiness. 
Prayer is the key that unlocks each door, and the power to bring them to pass!

2. STAY POSITIONED IN PRAYER TO RELEASE THE POWER OF REVIVAL
– Let the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous ignite revival in this generation

1 “See, the day is COMING. It is burning like a HOT FIRE...The day that is COMING will set them on FIRE…  4 “Remember the Law of My servant Moses...the Laws I gave him...for all Israel. 5 See, I will send you Elijah the man of God before the day of the Lord comes...6 And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. ..” - Malachi 4:1,4-6 (NLV)

• No refining fire, no revival fire.
• No purification, no powerful transformation.
• No prayer for renewal, no outpouring of revival.

10 Then His disciples asked him, “Why do the teachers of religious law insist that Elijah must return before the MESSIAH COMES?” 11 Jesus replied, “Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready. - Matthew 17:10-11 (NLV)

“He [Elijah] repaired the ALTAR of the Lord that was BROKEN DOWN…38 ..he FIRE of the Lord fell...” - 1 Kings 18:30a,38b (NKJV)  
 
16 “...The heartfelt and PERSISTENT PRAYER ...can accomplish much... EFFECTIVE by God—...DYNAMIC and can have tremendous POWER. 17 ELIJAH ...he prayed intensely - James 5:16-18 (AMP) 

3. EXPECT AN OUTPOURING & MAKE ROOM FOR REVIVAL
– Let Holy Expectation Unlock the Outpouring Heaven has already Prepared for you

S10 “...PROVE ME now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not OPEN the WINDOWS of heaven for you and pour you out a BLESSING, that there shall not be ROOM enough to RECEIVE it….12 “And all nations shall call you happy and BLESSED…” - Malachi 3:10,12a (AMPC)

“I will POUR OUT WATER on the THIRSTY LAND. I will make streams flow on the dry ground. I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT on your children. I will POUR OUT MY BLESSING on their children after them.” - Isaiah 44:3 (NIRV)

23 “Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the FORMER or EARLY RAIN in just measure...the FORMER RAIN and the LATTER RAIN, as before…28...I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT upon all flesh... I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT.” - Joel 2:23,28 (AMPC)

“…I have heard the reports about You, and I am in awe when I consider all You have done. O Eternal One, REVIVE Your work in our lifetime; REVEAL IT among us in our times.” - Habakkuk 3:2 (VOICE)

“...I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to REVIVE the spirit of the humble, and to REVIVE the heart of the contrite ones.’” - Isaiah 57:15 (NKJV)

You Can’t Pray Effectually for Revival if You’re not Revived Yourself.

CALL TO ACTION: To Position Yourself For An Outpouring & Stay Ready For Revival
STEP ONE: CHOOSE TO REALIGN YOUR LIFE WITH HEAVEN’S MISSION
STEP TWO: COMMIT TO A LIFE OF FERVENT, CONSISTENT PRAYER THAT IGNITES REVIVAL 
STEP THREE: CREATE SPACE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

PRAYER DECLARATION: 
“Abba Father, I choose today to align my life with Your Heavenly mission. Let Your Word refine me, and Your Spirit rekindle a fire in my heart for the coming of the Messiah. Teach me to pray with fervency, persistence, and faith until revival catches fire within me and spiritually awakens those around me. I release every burden and distraction, and I open my heart wide through increased gratitude with a heartfelt expectancy for Your outpouring. Let Your Holy Spirit overflow in my life, my home, my church, and my community. Use me as a vessel to stir up the fires of revival in this generation. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, Amen.”
COVENANT SECRETS #7_THE PRESENCE OF THE COVENANT CONFIRMED_Rabbi's Shabbat Message for Parashat Vayetze 11-29-25
“The PRESENCE OF THE COVENANT CONFORMED”
- Let God’s covenant presence in Jacob’s encounter reveal the King and His Kingdom to come


THEME VERSE:
TEHILLIM / Psalm 25:4 Let me KNOW YOUR WAYS, O Lord; TEACH ME Your paths. 5 GUIDE ME in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation…14 The SECRET [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He will let them know His COVENANT and REVEAL to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.’” AMP

What if I told you that today's Torah portion fulfills all of the covenants that we've been learning in this series called Covenant Secrets. What if I showed you that the transformation and Jacob's life reveals to all the believers in Messiah that our lives can change when we surrender to God's kingdom and become vessels of honor, instead of dishonor. 

What if I told you that God's promises don't need our persuasive manipulation to bring them to pass. All we need to do is meditate on His word, pray over every problem with one of God's promises, Impatiently, wait, forgot to sovereignly fulfill what he promised he would do. In the meantime, we need to allow His kingship to become the ruling crown over our hearts.

HOW TO CONFIRM GOD’S COVENANT AND STAY COMMITTED TO YOUR JOURNEY:
1. ENCOUNTER GOD’S PRESENCE DAILY TO ENSURE HIS PROMISE
– Let Intentional Times of Prayer and Sudden Needs for Intercession Increase Your Discernment


BERESHIT / Genesis 28:10 Then Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11 He happened upon a certain place and spent the night there…

15 Behold, I am with you, and I will WATCH OVER YOU wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I PROMISED you.” TLV

MISHLEI / Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you accept my words and treasure my mitzvot within you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom, inclining your heart to DISCERNMENT, yes, if you CALL OUT [“PRAY”] for insight, lifting up your voice for DISCERNMENT…He guards the paths of justice, and protects the way of His kedoshim. 9 Then you will discern what is right and just and fair—every good path. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. 11 Discretion will WATCH OVER YOU—DISCERNMENT will GUARD you. TLV

2. PRAY GOD’S PROMISES INSTEAD OF DWELLING ON THE PROBLEM
– Let God’s Word Renew How You Think and Feel as You Meditate on His Precious Promises
BERESHIT / Genesis 27:35 “Then he said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.” 36 He said, “Is this why he was named Jacob—since he’s tricked me twice already? My birthright he’s taken. Look! Now he’s taken my blessing!”...41 So Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “Let the time for mourning my father draw near, so that I can kill my brother Jacob!”... 43 “Flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran…” TLV
BERESHIT / Genesis 28:10 Then Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11 He happened upon a certain place and spent the night there….

GALTIM / Galatians 3:17 “What I am saying is this: Torah, which came 430 years later, does not cancel the COVENANT previously CONFIRMED by God, so as to make the PROMISE ineffective. 18 For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a PROMISE. But God has graciously given it to ABRAHAM by means of a PROMISE…21 Then is the Torah against the PROMISES of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given that could impart life, certainly righteousness would have been based on law. 22 But the SCRIPTURE has locked up the whole world under sin, so that the PROMISE based on trust in Messiah Yeshua might be given to those who trust…24 Therefore the Torah became our guardian to lead us to Messiah…” TLV

KEFA BET / 2 Peter 1:3 “His DIVINE POWER has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. 4 Through these things He has given us His PRECIOUS and magnificent PROMISES…

3. STUDY THE SCRIPTURES THAT REVEAL OF THE KING & HIS KINGDOM
- Let The Torah & The Prophets Help You Discover the Messiah of Israel Who Fulfills HaShem’s Covenants

BERESHIT / Genesis 28:12 He (Jacob) dreamed: All of a sudden, there was a stairway set up on the earth and its top reaching to the heavens—and behold, angels of God going up and down on it! ” TLV

Read John 1:43-51 & Micah 4:4-8

“THE POWER OF THE ANOINTING”
The Blessing of the Messiah Upon His Disciples

BLESSINGS WE’VE DISCUSSED SO FAR:


THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM: 
The Messiah, the Seed of Abraham, ensures His Blessing is Passed Down to Us by Inheritance

THE BLESSING OF JOSHUA: 
The Messiah’s Name, foreshadowed in Joshua (Yeshua), gives us Access to God’s Promises, like Israel entered the Land

THE BLESSING OF DAVID: 
The Messiah’s Kingship is established through His forefather, King David’s throne, as the Messiah, Son of David

• What if I told you that every blessing declared to Abraham—every promise God gave Israel through Joshua—every song of deliverance that God established through King David doesn’t have to stop with them — God intended it to be expressed and put into action through you?

BLESSING IN HEBREW: Berechah of בְּרָכָה or Baruch בָּרוּךְ, my Hebrew name, whose root (shoresh) means to bend the knee (berech בֶּרֶךְ) 


HOW TO FOLLOW THE MESSIAH, RECEIVE HIS ANOINTING, & WALK IN HIS AUTHORITY:

1. BE WILLING TO BEND IF YOU WANT GOD TO BLESS 
– Let Your Knee Bend To The Messiah To Receive His Anointing

10 That now at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WITHIN HEAVEN SHALL BOW—on earth, too, and under the earth; 11 And every tongue shall confess that Jesus, Messiah, is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father. - Philippians 2:10-11 (NTFE)


22 “All people everywhere, FOLLOW ME and BE SAVED. I am God. There is no other God. 23 I will make a PROMISE by my own POWER. And my PROMISE is true. What I say will not be changed. I PROMISE that EVERYONE WILL BOW before me. Everyone will PROMISE to FOLLOW me. - Isaiah 45:22 (ICB)

2. BE WILLING TO FOLLOW IN MESSIAH’S FOOTSTEPS TO WALK IN HIS AUTHORITY

– Let Your obedience to follow the anointed one cause you to walk in a greater power

8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. 9 I know this because I am UNDER AUTHORITY of my superior officers, and I have AUTHORITY over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen FAITH like this in all Israel! - Matthew 8:8-10 (NLT)

3. BE WILLING TO RELEASE THE PAST TO RECEIVE WHAT GOD HAS NEXT

– Let Go of Rancid Oil that Your Past Defiled for the New Anointing God wants to Pour Fresh on Your Life

“A dead fly causes a stench in mixed ANOINTING OIL, so a little folly is more weighty than wisdom and honor. - Ecclesiastes 10:1 (NKJV)

But you have made me as strong as [exalted my horn like; symbol of strength] an ox. You have poured fine [rich; FRESH] OILS on me… - Psalm 92:10 (EXB)
“You ANOINT my head with OIL; my cup runs over.” - Psalm 23:5 (NKJV)
18 The Lord says, “Forget what happened before. Do not think about the PAST. 19 Look at the NEW thing I am going to do.  IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING. Don’t you see it? I will make a road in the desert. I will make rivers in the dry land. Isaiah 43:18-19 (ICB)

So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has BROKEN THROUGH my enemies [GW: “OVERWHELMED my enemies”] before me, like a BREAKTHROUGH of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim [בַּעַל פְּרָצִים “The LORD or MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGHS”]. - 2 Samuel 5:20 (NKJV)

20 For however many promises God has made, they all find their “Yes” in connection with him; that is why it is through him that we say the “Amen” when we give glory to God. 21 Moreover, it is God who sets both us and you in firm union with the Messiah; he has anointed us, 22 put his seal on us, and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee for the future. - 2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (CJB)

CALL TO ACTION: To Follow The Messiah, Receive His Anointing, & Walk In His Authority

STEP ONE: BEND YOUR KNEE TO GOD’S WILL IF YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF GOD’S BLESSINGS
STEP TWO: FOLLOW THE MESSIAH’S FOOTSTEPS TO WALK IN HIS AUTHORITY 
STEP THREE: REMOVE THE PAST STENCH OF DISOBEDIENCE FOR THE FRESH OIL OF THE SPIRIT’S ANOINTING
MORNING PRAYER WITH RABBI BRIAN BILECI 11-26-25

HOW TO PRAY FOR PROVISION AND KEEP HEAVEN'S STOREHOUSE OPEN: 
1. PRAY AGAINST COMPLAINING AND START CELEBRATING
– Let the attitude of gratitude replace arrogance with adoration and heartfelt praise

10 “...PROVE ME now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not OPEN the WINDOWS of heaven for you and pour you out a BLESSING, that there shall not be ROOM enough to RECEIVE it….12 “And all nations shall call you happy and BLESSED, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts. 13 Your words have been STRONG and HARD against Me, says the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken against You? 14 You have said, It is USELESS to SERVE GOD [TLB: “‘It is foolish to WORSHIP GOD and OBEY HIM”], and what profit is it if we KEEP His ORDINANCES…” - Malachi 3:10,12-14 (AMPC)

• They spoke strong, hard, harsh words: In Hebrew - chazak חָזַק (ḥāzaq) strong, stubborn, overpowering speech)
• COMPLAINING OVERPOWERED their worship; arrogance replaced adoration
• They said, “Serving God is worthless. Worship is a waste of time.”

Chazak חָזַק means that our words can either strengthen our worship or strengthen our rebellion 

“I COMPLAINED, and my spirit was OVERWHELMED.” - Psalm 77:3 (NKJV)

“My spirit was overwhelmed”—not because of my schedule, my job, my kids, my bills—but because of my complaining!

Complaining doesn’t just make you frustrated—it overwhelms your spirit and opens the door to curses instead of blessings. Choose Celebration Over Complaining—and let God’s Goodness Win! 

Complaining overwhelms your spirit—but obedience overwhelms your enemy

7 Keep your ROOTS DEEP in Him and have your lives built on Him. Be STRONG [ESTABLISHED] in the FAITH, just as you were TAUGHT, and always be THANKFUL [abounding / OVERFLOWING WITH GRATITUDE]. - Colossians 2:7 (EXB)

I will WORSHIP toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD above all YOUR NAME! - Psalm 138:2 (AMPC)

PRAY:
“Abba Father, I praise you God, for You have opened the heavens over my life so that I can live the overflow of Your blessings. So I choose to stop complaining, and start celebrating Your glorious name, replacing my arrogance adoration, and my problems with your praise.”

2. PRAY THAT GOD’S BLESSING WILL SURROUND YOU AND REPLACE EVERY CURSE
– Let the presence of God be your hiding place and your obedience your protection
`
“You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, You SURROUND me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!” - Psalm 32:7 (AMPC)

“If you FULLY OBEY all of these commandments of the Lord your God, the laws I am declaring to you today, God will TRANSFORM you into the greatest nation in the world” - Deuteronomy 28:1 (TLB)

“All of the following BLESSINGS will be yours—in fact, they’ll CHASE AFTER YOU—if you’ll LISTEN to what He tells you.” - Deuteronomy 28:2 (VOICE)

3. ASK THE LORD TO BRING HIS BREAKTHROUGH INTO EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE
– Let Blessings overtake You, because whatever overwhelms your spirit will start to overburden your soul

So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has BROKEN THROUGH my enemies [GW: “OVERWHELMED my enemies”] before me, like a BREAKTHROUGH of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim [בַּעַל פְּרָצִים “The LORD or MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGHS”]. - 2 Samuel 5:20 (NKJV)

4. PRAY FOR FREEDOM FROM STRESS AS YOU CAST ALL YOUR BURDENS ON THE LORD                   – Let God Realign Your Priorities, as You repent from Past Sins, so The Holy Spirit can eliminate unnecessary stress 

“Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” - Psalm 55:22 (NIV)

5. ASK THE SPIRIT FOR DISCERNMENT TO DECLUTTER YOUR LIFE, & MAKE ROOM FOR MORE BLESSING
– Let the Spirit of the Lord reveal things that need to be removed so He can bless you

“For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and OVERFLOWING measure, pressed down, shaken together to MAKE ROOM for MORE, and RUNNING OVER. Whatever measure you use to give—large or small—will be used to measure what is given back to you.” - Luke 6:38 (TLB)

PRAY:
“Abba Father, Help me declutter my life, as your spirit shows me the things that I need to remove, so there's more room for your blessing and less room for disobedience to bring curses in my life. I am free from my past, and I'm ready for my future.”
HOW TO LIVE IN THE OVERFLOW & MAKE ROOM FOR MORE:

1. DON’T LET COMPLAINING OVERPOWER YOU—LET CELEBRATING GOD’S GOODNESS OVERTAKE YOU

– Let the attitude of gratitude replace arrogance with adoration

10 “...PROVE ME now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not OPEN the WINDOWS of heaven for you and pour you out a BLESSING, that there shall not be ROOM enough to RECEIVE it….12 “And all nations shall call you happy and BLESSED, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts. 13 Your words have been STRONG and HARD against Me, says the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken against You? 14 You have said, It is USELESS to SERVE GOD [TLB: “‘It is foolish to WORSHIP GOD and OBEY HIM”], and what profit is it if we KEEP His ORDINANCES…” - Malachi 3:10,12-14 (AMPC)


• They spoke strong, hard, harsh words: In Hebrew - chazak חָזַק (ḥāzaq) strong, stubborn, overpowering speech)
• Their COMPLAINING OVERPOWERED their worship
• Their arrogance replaced adoration
• They spoke against God instead of CELEBRATING Him
• They shifted from honor to entitlement
• They said, “Serving God is worthless. Worship is a waste of time.”

7 Keep your ROOTS DEEP in Him and have your lives built on Him. Be STRONG [ESTABLISHED] in the FAITH, just as you were TAUGHT, and always be THANKFUL [abounding / OVERFLOWING WITH GRATITUDE]. - Colossians 2:7 (EXB)

I will WORSHIP toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD above all YOUR NAME! - Psalm 138:2 (AMPC)

2. DON’T LET CURSES OVERWHELM YOU—LET GOD’S BLESSINGS OVERTAKE YOU
– Let your Obedience Position you for Blessing and not Burden you with Stress

WHAT THINGS OVERWHELM US?
• We can be Overwhelmed by Fear & Dread (Psalm 55:5)  “Fear and dread OVERWHELM me…”
• We can be Overwhelmed with Grief (Psalm 90:15)  “We’ve been OVERWHELMED with grief; come now and overwhelm us with gladness.”
• We can be Overwhelmed with Longing for God (Psalm 42:1) “My longings OVERWHELM me for more of You.”
• We can be Overwhelmed with God’s Love (Psalm 119:41) “May Your tender love OVERWHELM me.”
• We can’t let Calamity Overwhelm Us (Proverbs 12:21) “Calamity is not allowed to OVERWHELM the righteous.”

3. DON’T LET LIFE OVERBURDEN YOU—LET THE BREAKTHROUGH OF GOD’S BLESSINGS OVERFLOW YOU
– Let go of past clutter so you can make room for future blessing

So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has BROKEN THROUGH my enemies [GW: “OVERWHELMED my enemies”] before me, like a BREAKTHROUGH of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim [בַּעַל פְּרָצִים “The LORD or MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGHS”]. - 2 Samuel 5:20 (NKJV)

• Exodus 6:6 — “I will bring you out from under the BURDENS”
• Isaiah 10:27 — “The yoke will be destroyed”
• Psalm 81:6 — “I removed his shoulder from the BURDEN”
• Psalm 55:22 — “Cast your BURDEN on the Lord, and He shall sustain you”
• 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your cares upon Him (all your BURDENS and worries”) for He cares for you!”
• Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me, all you who…are heavy-laden and OVERBURDENED…I will cause you to rest.”
• Luke 21:34 — “...Be on your guard, lest your hearts be OVERBURDENED and depressed (weighed down…)”

“For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and OVERFLOWING measure, pressed down, shaken together to MAKE ROOM for MORE, and RUNNING OVER. Whatever measure you use to give—large or small—will be used to measure what is given back to you.” - Luke 6:38 (TLB)
COVENANT SECRETS #6: The Blessing of Inheritance Transferred with Rabbi Brian Bileci 

HOW TO HAVE HASHEM’S COVENANT BLESSING TRANSFERRED TO YOUR LIFE:
1. EMBRACE YOUR COVENANT IDENTITY SO GOD CAN DIRECT YOUR DESTINY
– Let God’s Revealed Identity for Your Life Guide your Steps to Fulfill Your Covenant Purpose

BERESHIT / Genesis 25:19 Now these are the genealogies of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham fathered Isaac. 20 Isaac was 40 years old when he took for himself Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to Adonai on behalf of his wife because she was barren. Adonai answered his plea and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 But the children struggled with one another inside her, and she said, “If it’s like this, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of Adonai. 23 Adonai said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from your body will be separated. One people will be stronger than the other people, but the older will serve the younger.” TLV
“The deeds of the fathers are signs for the children.” Ma’aseh Avot Siman L’Banim מַעֲשֵׂה אָבוֹת סִימָן לְבָנִים
RASHI: Everything the patriarchs experience, their descendants will experience on a national level.

MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 12:14 PURSUE PEACE [Shalom] with everyone, and holiness, since no one will see God without it. 15 Watch carefully that no one falls short of God’s favor, that no well of bitterness springs up to trouble you and throw many others off the path. 16 Watch that no one becomes wicked and vile like Esau, the son of Isaac, who for a single meal sold his invaluable birthright. 17 You know from the stories of the patriarchs that later, when he wished to claim his blessing, he was turned away. He could not reverse his action even though he shed bitter tears over it. VOICE

YECHEZKEL / Ezekiel 17:14 “But by KEEPING her PROMISES, Israel could be respected and maintain her IDENTITY.” TLB

7 Identity Moments in the Parashah
•  Genesis 25:21-23 — Identity is predestined by God before you were born.
“Two nations are in your womb… the older will serve the younger.” (25:23)
•  Genesis 25:27-28 — Identity shaped by environment and expectations.
“Esau became a man… of the field, but Jacob was… living in tents.” (25:27)
•  Genesis 25:29-34 — Identity lost by impulsive decisions.
“So Esau despised his birthright.” (25:34)
•  Genesis 26:24-25 — Identity confirmed by God’s presence, not performance.
“I am the God of your father… do not be afraid, for I am with you.” (26:24)
•  Genesis 27:1-29 — Identity confused by comparison and pretending.
“The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are Esau’s.” (27:22)
•  Genesis 27:30-36 — Identity wounded by loss, disappointment, and missed moments.
“Esau… wailed with an exceedingly bitter cry.” (27:34)

2. TRUST HASHEM’S VOICE ABOVE YOUR FEELINGS SO YOU DON’T FORFEIT YOUR BIRTHRIGHT
– Let God’s Word shape your decisions so the blessing rests on obedience, not impulse


BERESHIT / Genesis 25:28 Now Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 Now Jacob cooked a stew. When Esau came in from the field, he was exhausted, 30 so Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me some of this really red stuff, because I’m exhausted”—that is why he is called Edom. 31 So Jacob said, “Sell your BIRTHRIGHT to me today.” 32 Esau said, “Look, I’m about to die. Of whatever use is this to me—a BIRTHRIGHT?” 33 Jacob said, “Make a pledge to me now.” So he made a pledge to him, and sold his BIRTHRIGHT to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, then got up and left. So Esau DESPISED his BIRTHRIGHT. TLV

MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 12:14 PURSUE PEACE [Shalom] with everyone, and holiness, since no one will see God without it. 15 Watch carefully that no one falls short of God’s favor, that no well of bitterness springs up to trouble you and throw many others off the path. 16 Watch that no one becomes wicked and vile like Esau, the son of Isaac, who for a single meal sold his invaluable birthright. 17 You know from the stories of the patriarchs that later, when he wished to claim his blessing, he was turned away. He could not reverse his action even though he shed bitter tears over it. VOICE

3. FULLY OBEY HASHEM’S COMMAND TO RECEIVE HIS BLESSING
- Let the responsibility of the covenant shape your life the way it shaped Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Hebrew Class for Parashat Toldot 5786 / פָּרָשַׁת תּוֹלְדוֹת

BERESHIT / Genesis 25:19 Now these are the genealogies of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham fathered Isaac. 20 Isaac was 40 years old when he took for himself Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to Adonai on behalf of his wife because she was barren. Adonai answered his plea and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 But the children struggled with one another inside her, and she said, “If it’s like this, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of Adonai. 23 Adonai said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from your body will be separated. One people will be stronger than the other people, but the older will serve the younger.” TLV
                                              
וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדֹת יִצְחָק, בֶּן-אַבְרָהָם:  אַבְרָהָם, הוֹלִיד אֶת-יִצְחָק
וַיְהִי יִצְחָק, בֶּן-אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה, בְּקַחְתּוֹ אֶת-רִבְקָה בַּת-בְּתוּאֵל הָאֲרַמִּי, מִפַּדַּן אֲרָם--אֲחוֹת לָבָן הָאֲרַמִּי, לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה.

וַיִּתְרֹצְצוּ הַבָּנִים, בְּקִרְבָּהּ, וַתֹּאמֶר אִם-כֵּן, לָמָּה זֶּה אָנֹכִי; וַתֵּלֶךְ, לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה.

VOCABULARY LIST: 

Hebrew word #1
 תּוֹלְדוֹת —Toldot
Meaning: Generations, genealogies, histories, destinies
Root: י־ל־ד (yalad) — to bring forth, give birth
Insight: In Torah, toldot marks divine transitions. Every time this word appears, destiny is shifting. This root yalad is the same shoresh behind the Hebrew words:

יֶלֶד — yeled (“boy,” literally one who is born)
יַלְדָּה — yal’dah (“girl,” literally one who has been birthed)
In other words, toldot is not merely “history”—it is the unfolding of birth, life, and destiny.

Every appearance of toldot marks a divine turning point, the moment where God reveals how His covenant purposes are birthed through a specific line.

Hebrew word #2
. עֲקָרָה — Akarah
Meaning: Barren woman
Root: ע־ק־ר (akar) — uprooted
Insight: Covenant mothers give birth by miracle, not by might. Barrenness becomes the stage where God displays His sovereignty. 

Hebrew word #3
וַיִּתְרֹצֲצוּ — Vayitrotzetzu
Meaning: They struggled, collided, pressed up against each other violently, “wrestled” in the womb
Root: ר־צ־ץ (ratzatz) — to crush, break, clash
Insight: The battle between Jacob and Esau begins before birth. The struggle is prophetic, not problematic.

Hebrew word #4
 לִדְרֹשׁ — Lidrosh
Meaning: To seek, inquire, investigate
Root: ד־ר־ש (darash) — to pursue, request, interpret
Insight: Rebekah becomes our role model. When confusion grows, the righteous darash — they seek revelation, not relief.

Hebrew word #5
 צָעִיר — Tza’ir
Meaning: Younger, lesser, small
Root: צ־ע־ר (tzar) — small, insignificant
Insight: God flips the order. The “small one,” Jacob, becomes the carrier of the covenant. God exalts what man overlooks.

5. ASK GOD TO RESTORE THE FEAR OF THE LORD SO BLESSING FLOW FREELY
– Let reverence and fresh obedience to the Word purify motives and prepare you for supernatural abundance.

10 “...I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty. ” - Malachi 3:10b-12 (NIV)\

PRAY:
“Holy God, restore reverence in my heart. Make Your presence weighty again, Your voice clear again, and Your will precious again. As I walk in the fear of the Lord, open the storehouse of Heaven and let Your blessing overflow.”

Let gratitude unlock generosity, repentance restore authority, and obedience open the windows of Heaven. Today I position myself under Your storehouse of abundance, trusting You to pour out provision, peace, and supernatural blessing. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, Amen.
12 “So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.” 13 So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day on. Then Samuel returned to Ramah.” - 1 Samuel 16:12-13 (NLT)

God anointed David three times. In addition, David was actually anointed in three offices. In a similar fashion, we have been anointed in those same offices as kings, priests, and prophets.

•  Kings: We rule in life (Revelation 5:10, Romans 5:17).
•  Priests: We minister to God and others (Revelation 5:10).
•  Prophets: We are the prophets of our own lives, speaking God’s Word (2 Corinthians 4:13, Romans 4:17, 23-24).

“Instead of kings we act like Slaves, and instead of Priests we act like Laymen” 
A King Thinks:
Take Territory 
Winning 
Dominate

Growth

5 “And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. 6 To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” - Revelation 1:5-6 (NKJV)

20 “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,” - 2 Corinthians 1:20-21 (NKJV)

The Covenant Promise and Blessing to David: 
8 “Now go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I took you from tending sheep in the pasture and selected you to be the leader of my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before your eyes. Now I will make your name as famous as anyone who has ever lived on the earth!...12 For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong. 13 He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.” 
- 2 Samuel 7:8-9,12-13 (NLT)

The Covenant Promise and Blessings are activated by Praise and Thanksgiving:
5 “No wonder the peoples praise you! Let all the people praise you more! 6 The harvest of the earth is here! God, the very God we worship, keeps us satisfied at his banquet of blessings. 7 And the blessings keep coming! All the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves and be in awe of him!” 
- Psalms 67:5-7 (TPT)

“David shows us that Praise and Thanksgiving are not just acts of adoration but a Weapon of Confirmation”

David teaches us the Praise Precedes:
•  The Enemy’s Confusion - Praise can cause confusion for God's enemies, driving them away.
•  Spiritual Doors Opening - Authentic praise opens spiritual "doors" or "heavens," allowing Heaven's influence to enter the earth; it also leads to a shift where the natural world submits to the supernatural. 
•  Enthrones God’s Presence - Creates a space where God's blessings can be manifested, leading to His goodness, signs, and wonders.
•  Habitats God’s Power and Miracles - It prepares the Way for God’s power to be displayed and manifests His Miracle-Working Power. 
•  Brings Solutions to Life’s Problems - When facing seemingly unsolvable issues, praise can provide clarity and victory! 

How do we Unleash the Power of Praise and Thanksgiving?
Praise and Thanksgiving Balance the Scale

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4:6 (NIV)

3 Key Ways to Approach God in Prayer:

Praise and Thanksgiving Neutralize the Devil:
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)

Praise is more than just a Song, it’s Spiritual Warfare:
It BUILDS your Spirit and RENEWS your mind

18 “The Lord knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.” - Psalms 37:18-19 (NKJV)

“What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten…” - Joel 1:4 (AMP)

THE FOUR STAGES OF DISOBEDIENCE (Joel’s Locusts)
•  Locust — “the gnawer”: Sin incrementally “steals” the harvest through small compromises that quietly nibble and gnaw away at our obedience.
•  Cankerworm — “the stripper”: Compromise grows and begins to strip away convictions, our need for a spiritual covering, and our clarity of discernment.
• Palmerworm — “the devourer”: Rebellion deepens, consuming structure, discipline, and the foundations of your faith.
• Swarming Locust — “the multiplier”: Full-blown disobedience multiplies destruction, overwhelming every area of life.

“The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” - John 10:10 (ESV)

“Most importantly, be disciplined and stay on guard. Your enemy, the devil, is prowling around outside like a roaring lion, just waiting and hoping for the chance to DEVOUR someone.” - 1 Peter 5:8 (VOICE)

• The devourer of time: endless scrolling, constant busyness, no Sabbath rest.
• The devourer of talent: using gifts for gain instead of God’s glory.
• The devourer of treasure: impulse spending, lack of generosity, no discipline.
• The devourer of testimony: gossip, complaining, and compromise that ruin witness.

“Lord of Hosts, rebuke every devourer sent to drain my joy, diminish my resources, or destroy my harvest. Shut every door my disobedience opened. Let Your authority secure what You’ve given and protect what You’ve promised.”

4. PRAY FOR THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN TO OPEN AGAIN

PRAY:
“Abba Father, open the windows of heaven over my life. Release storehouse provision, uncommon favor, and supernatural resources. Let obedience position me under the continual flow of Your blessing and abundance.”

5. PRAY TO LIVE IN THE OVERFLOW THROUGH GENEROSITY
– Let gratitude and generosity make room for greater blessing.

HOW TO DEFEAT THE DEVOURER OF DISOBEDIENCE & SILENCE THE ENEMY:
1. REFINE WHAT’S BEEN DEFILED SO GOD CAN RESTORE WHAT’S DIMINISHED

– Let Your Purity of Heart become the Prosperity of Your Soul
1 “Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will prepare and clear the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the Lord of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a REFINER’S FIRE and like launderer’s soap [which REMOVES IMPURITIES and uncleanness].” - Malachi 3:1-2 (AMP)

26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin [greatly against God] regarding these things?...God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin [by turning to other gods and so, judged by God, HE LOST HIS KINGDOM]. 27 Do we then hear about you that you have done all this great evil, acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign (pagan) women?”…29  O my God, remember them, because they have DEFILED the PRIESTHOOD and the COVENANT of the PRIESTHOOD and the Levites. - Nehemiah 13:26-27,29 (AMPC)

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: ‘No one shall DEFILED himself …7 They shall not take [as a wife] a woman who is a prostitute, nor a woman who is divorced from her husband; for the PRIEST is holy to his God. - Leviticus 21:1,7 (AMPC)
“For You, O God, have TESTED us; You REFINED us as silver is REFINED.” — Psalm 66:10 (AMP)

6 You greatly rejoice in this, even though you have to SUFFER for a short time in VARIOUS TRIALS. 7 Such TRIALS show the PROVEN CHARACTER of your faith, which is much more VALUABLE THAN GOLD that perishes when TESTED BY FIRE, and results in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the Messiah is revealed. - 1 Peter 4:6-7 ISV)

Beloved, I pray that you may PROSPER in all things and be in HEALTH, just as your SOUL PROSPERS - 3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

“If you FULLY OBEY the Lord your God… the Lord will OPEN THE HEAVENS, the STOREHOUSE of His bounty, to SEND RAIN on your land in SEASON.” - Deuteronomy 28:1,12 (NIV)

5…David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. - 1 Kings 15:5(NKJV)

3 For I ACKNOWLEDGE my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight…6 Behold, You desire TRUTH in the INWARD PARTS, and in the HIDDEN PART You will make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be CLEAN; WASH ME, and I shall be whiter than snow… - Psalm 51:3-7a (NKJV) 

“Then I ACKNOWLEDGED my SIN to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, ‘I will CONFESS my transgressions to the Lord.’ And you FORGAVE the guilt (KJV: “INIQUITY”) of my SIN.” - Psalm 32:5 (NIV)
