Shabbat Shalom! Today's Shabbat Portion is called Vayikra

Blessed Ramadan to all my Muslim Friends!!!
يسوع اكبر
يهوه اكبر
You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. — Psalms 21:9 NASB1995
“for He restrains their enemy who calls his party to be among the people of the blazing fire. Hence you will find among the righteous the desire to do good and refrain from evil during this month more than at other times.” from Majaalis Sharh Ramadan by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (p8).
Yiska’s Commentary in proportion to the Shabbat (Sabado) Readings and what Muslims believe during the holy month of Ramadan:
SOAP (Scriptures/Observation/Application/Prayer)
Scripture: Romans 12 NASB
Dedicated Service
1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.
Observation:
The Sacrifice of Fasting for Jews, Muslims and Christians:
JEHOVAH, in the Old Covenant had commanded the Hebrew people to offer up living sacrifices of animals for worship unto HIM. To fast is another form of sacrifice, during this month of Ramadan Muslims fast from food and water just so they can focus on prayer. During fasting a body burns up all excess fats and calories making the human body rejuvenate itself, restoring cells and replacing it with new ones, making the body healthy during a fasting season. Just as Jews used to sacrifice burnt offerings in the altar of the LORD, the fats and flesh of these animals are bunt up like a sweet smelling incense before GOD. But it is different with New Covenant believers or the People called “Christians” - followers of Christ
Application:
For Christians when we offer our lives as a living and holy sacrifice to GOD, we burn our flesh when we chose to love our enemies and pray for those who hurt us. We die to our flesh when we subdue our pride and anger, and forgive our offenders instead. But most of the time, it is difficult to obey GOD when we do it by our own strength, and when we rely on HIS grace then we are able to forgive and obey HIM as long as continue to meditate on HIS Word that corrects us.
But for someone like me, who is so weak in terms of pride and submission, I cannot obey GOD just by praying or reading HIS Word. I would need to do some kind of fasting to be able to obey GOD because it is a way for me to subdue my flesh and die to myself, physically and in my carnal nature. So most of the time, I fast with the Jews and Muslims during their seasons of fasting because this has been a mandate (specific command for a certain mission) of GOD for me because GOD has called me to do higher things than the regular person. GOD has called me to judge the rebels (fallen angels) in the land, that are roaming the face of the earth, at times found inside people (possession) and most of the time spirits riding on people (oppression) causing them to live in fear and bitterness hindering them from fully obeying GOD. It is an impossible task for me to do without the RUACH FIRE (HOLY SPIRIT FIRE) living inside and surrounding me and for that to happen I have to fast from either eating or sleeping.
Prayer: ABBA YHVH, YOU are the GREAT I AM, يهوه اكبر , O HOLY ONE of Israel. I pray let YOUR Kingdom come, let YOUR will be done on us all here on earth as it is in heaven. Let YOUR WORD be our food that sustains us daily. Let the blood of YESHUA (JESUS) cleanse us all of our sins as YOU fill us with the SPIRIT of the Living GOD, to forgive those that have hurt us. Do not lead us to temptations, troubles and trials but deliver us from all evil. For YOU deserve all Glory, Honor, Power and Praise. YOU alone are worthy of our utmost love and devotion! Ba Hashem YESHUA (In the Name of JESUS) Amen!
BackStory:
Today is a Shabbat, I decided to sleep last night and not do my usual night watch because I had a meeting so early in the morning with my counselor mentor who is practicing psychology inside the church. We had breakfast at Coffee Bay IT Park and we were together for 3 hours plus.
That afternoon at 13:00 My Sister drives us to Nomad's Refuge up on the Mountains in Busay boundary close to Balamban and we arrive at around 14:00. We were enjoying the view and the food, the Atmosphere and she asked me how I was because she saw my #heartbroken posts. I felt like she became the older sister that moment. I had to tell her what happened without revealing the real person, but I was no longer as sad about it than I was when it first happened because I had released it all on Yiska's scroll (as GOD had mandated me to do during this Season of being a Watchman 5783) and then I was able to meet my Pastor on Friday and we had planned what to do regarding the situation with the person who broke my heart. And this morning, I met my counselor friend to have catch up and give updates. While I was in his presence and I had a self-realization that I never should have taken seriously the things this young man was telling me because he was still broken man, who in the world of Psychology would even take him seriously? Then I came up with a quote that goes "Hurt people hurts other people, a broken person will break others." But the healed will radiate healing all around them because this is what Pipoy did for me this morning. Just by being with him, I got healed because of the self-realization I got just by being with him.
This is the motto or rule in the world of Psycology. "Hurt people hurt other people" It is just how it is in the world of brain science in Psychology and study of human behavior. I was kinda laughing at myself when I realized this thing while I was with him, he didn't even need to tell me this, I just got it while I was with him. It was like an AHA moment for me where I caught myself and for the revelation to come into me at that moment, I almost felt stupid for even feeling so hurt. What a joke! And I was healed almost instantly at that very moment face to face with my mentor counselor. So when my sister asked me about my #brokenheart, I was no longer emotional about it but sometimes I would stare at a wall and just be quiet about it but she felt me doing "tanga" so she would always ask me if I was okay while we were still on the way to the top.
When we got there, we talked about it and she gave me sound advice, she told me don't be too attached to broken people, because they will hurt you, don't carry their burdens, and this is what my counselor mentor had also advised me even before. She was so wise to say this at her age. They both are saying the same thing to me to "not be a superhero to anyone who is broken" because it's not our responsibility to carry them. Pipoy always had boundaries and he told me he would chose the battles he picks to fight and I'm so glad he chose to fight with mine, because his role in my life is so important today. Even more so my sister, because my sister has always been my greatest ally, since she was my very first ally when I started doing the works of GOD through writing. She knew how to counsel me because she also had a friend who was still hung up with their ex-past but in the end the ex-past went back to their ex-past too leaving him hanging. How ironic isn't it right? Anyway she mentioned to me that Ramadan had already begun. I was shocked that I wasn't aware about the most important season for Muslims. GOD made me a watchman over them since 2017 when HE made me fast with them and prophesy to them during that time. I realized Ramadan already started on March 22 according to google. And she also gave me important information that time while we were at Nomad's Refuge. While she was scanning her Tiktok, a Muslim was greeting everyone a happy Ramadan fast and she said that "When a person leaves your life during Ramadan, it means evil had left you." I was amazed! How could it be that GOD would use my Sister to give me this most important insight? I checked my Calendar and I realized the day that the #ahabprince told me he went back to his ex-past, was exactly March 22 at around the 8th Watch of 29 Adar and the watch after that was alrady the start of Ramadan. Ramadan began sunset of March 22 and to my surprise it was 1 Nisan - the Official first month of the New Year of the Hebrew Calendar but I didn't realize all this because of the pain I felt in my heart.
He restrains their enemy who calls his party to be among the people of the blazing fire. Hence you will find among the righteous the desire to do good and refrain from evil during this month more than at other times.
- Majaalis Sharh Ramadan by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (p. 8)

Wow!!! The many realizations I have just by being with my sister on a lovely shabbat is just extra ordinary. I always look forward to being with her because in all my #millennialwars she has been my greatest #ally and she's the very first ally I had the first time I had become a Watchman.
First she told me it's already #Ramadan and I can't believe I was unaware of it because I am supposed to know! Since I always want to pray with the Muslims during this season. But because of distractions it was unknown to me that Ramadan began sunset of March 22. She goes on to tell me that a Muslim greeted everyone a blessed Ramadan on Tiktok saying it is believed that "when a person leaves you during the fasting season it means evil left you." I was almost laughing at this Moslem belief because at exactly the same time that Ramadan was starting, I saw evil wanting to come to me but I blocked it! It didn't leave me, I banned it usually evil comes after my heart but it exposed itself before it could do more harm.
