Planted

What does it mean to be planted? Are you rooted and grounded in Torah? Keep these questions in mind and just ask yourself.

Planted means: establish, set, sow with seeds, place firmly, to put or set in the ground for growth

As I stated the meaning of the word planted, let's all judge our lives and character and see where we stand, Oh, help us YAHWEH!! 

Remember the definition of the word planted that you read? Take note of the scriptures below:

1. Establish: YAHWEH shall establish (plant) you a Kadosh People to himself, as HE has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of YAHWEH your ALMIGHTY, and walk in HIS ways. Debarim/ Deuteronomy 28:9

2. Set: YAHWEH will set (plant) a guard of kadosh melakim over all the righteous and kadosh ones, and they shall keep them as the apple of the eye until all evil and all sin are brought to an end. From that time on the righteous ones shall sleep a restful sleep, and there shall be no one to make them afraid. Enoch 100:5

3.Sow with seeds: For, behold, I sow my Torah in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and you shall be honored in it forever. Ezra 9:31

4. Place firmly: You, O YAHWEH, when you had created the boundless, and immeasurable olam, chose this city and set apart this place for your Name, though you had no need of anything and when you had magnified it, by your magnificent manifestation, you made it a firm foundation for the honor of your great and honored name. And because you YAHWEH ahavah the bayit (house) of YisraYah, reverses, and tribulations should overtake us, you would listen to our petition when we come to this place and pray. And indeed YAHWEH you are Faithful and True. 3 Maccabees 2:9-11

5. Set in the ground for growth: O all you things that grow in the olam, barak YAHWEH! praise Him above all forever.

I chose this word because it was laid on my lev (heart) that this is the time, now, we all must be firmly rooted (planted) and grounded in Torah, we must stand firm and strong in Torah. YAHWEH has given us a Shepherd in this day and time, so that we may follow him as he follows YAHSHUA. And each step of the way, as we follow the Shepherd that YAH gave us, we can go from emunah to emunah, and I believe, as we go from there, He allows our roots to be a little more established and firmly set in place. In other words as we grow in Torah by obeying the Word, YAHWEH gives us more strength to overcome and to stand firm through trials, and temptations. Though the strong wind blows, still, we'll be able to stand like YAHSHUA!!

Tehillim/ Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

When YAHSHUA comes back we don't want to be as the fig tree, but we want to be that tree that's firmly planted and that brings forth abundance of fruit.

Isaiah 60:21 YAHWEH's People also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I YAHWEH may be Beautified.

Isaiah 61:13 To appoint to them that mourn in Tzion, and to give them beauty for ashes the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the ruach of heaviness that they may be called trees of righteousness the planting of YAHWEH that He may be beautified.

2 Kepha/ Peter 3:18 But grow in free unmerited ahavah, and the knowledge of our Master and yasha YAHSHUA HAMESSIYAH. To Him be honor and splendor both now and forever. It is so, and let it be fulfilled.

So I encourage all you achotee to continue to press and not only to be firmly planted, but to bare abundant fruits of the ruach.

Ahavah, joy, shalom, long suffering, gentleness, tov, meekness, and temperance, for against such there is no Torah. in other words there's no stopping ground, or certain amount of fruit you need to do, just be an ever bearing tree. so I admonish you to make it a part of your life, go an extra mile or two, and you will be barak of YAHWEH. Continue to uphold the Hands of the Shepherd, and the one that YAHWEH has placed over you. Continue to encourage someone, or just encourage yourself in Torah. HalleluYAHWEH!! 

I hope and pray that this simple Truth encouraged, and blessed each and everyone, and that there is enough that you can fertilize, glean, grow stronger, and bare fruit.

Shalom, shalom

Achotee TsakiYAh
