Join Raphael Rabbi on these 3 days fasting and prayers where we shall discover the spiritual context why “a seed must die to give life.”
■■■■■■■
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of realities not seen [Hebrews 11:1 TLV].
There is no recommended way to fast. We must fast with *FAITH* led by the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh]. That is when we get Gods attention.
We waste our time fasting and go hungry for nothing; if our heart is not “in check with REPENTANCE” combined with SANCTIFICATION & JUSTIFICATION [Ephesians 4:30].
Once this is accomplished, the Holy Spirit will then lead us to now decide on how to fast, how long to fast, when to fast, and most importantly, why we are to fast.
“When we work, we work; when we fast & and pray, God works.” – Raphael Rabbi
Prepare your hearts, your spirit for a divine encounter with Christ Jesus, Yahusha!

DAY 1
A Seed Must Die To Give Life As Your Sins
Now, he who supplies seed to the Sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your *righteousness* (2 Corinthians 9:10)
This is the simple principle of farming that if you plant apple seeds, you won’t get a pear tree. What you plant must be predicated on what you want to harvest.
Isaiah 59:1-2 tells us that, do not think that the Lord is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help! It is because of your sins that he does not hear you. It is your sins that separate you from God when you try to worship him.
A seed must die and decay in the ground before it grows.
GOD is holy, so what bad habits are we ready to give up to get close to Him
We have to destroy our sinful desires to allow growth in all areas of our lives as we become that seed that goes into the soil.
Without repentance, we are separated from the Father, who supplies the seed and ensures our harvest
So, don’t be ignorant and continue giving offerings and tithes and living in sin as ‘they’ keep telling you to sow a seed. These sacrifices get no attention from God. All that matters is REPENTANCE (Matthew 4:17).
It is well
Amen

DAY 2
Sow Your Time In God’s Word
Many call themselves Christians, yet unaware of how to find and bring Christ Jesus, Yahusha, into their lives.
On the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:16, though Jesus was with the two physically, they were kept from recognizing him.
The big question is why?
Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, *HE explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself* (Luke 24:25-27).
People of God, as you continue to go deep in the scriptures; When Jesus was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from their sight. (Luke 24:30-31).
Why did Jesus disappear as soon as HE was recognized?
He took them back to the scriptures, and then they recognized Him. Our God is in the scriptures, and there is no other place to find him; God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth (John 4:24)
Jesus Christ can never be found in a church with thousands of members; Jesus Christ cannot be found in the physical, so we should stop going around looking for the most powerful prophet, pastor or evangelist for answers.
Instead of these men and women of God encouraging their members to read the Bible for themselves, to find God; they sell you spiritual items. Judgment awaits us all (Matthew 7:21-23)
Satan is not our enemy but ignorance. “My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
Choose to spend your time in God’s Word. Crucify your flesh daily and obey Christ. Surrender your thoughts to Christ. Surrender your heart to Christ. Sow words of life, faith, and peace into others. Speak life. Let your life reflect the heart and character of Christ.
Perhaps you spend most of your time chasing after modern-day idols such as money, fame, status, career, or indulging in sexual immorality?
Sow God’s Word into the ground of your heart. Spend time with God. Surrender every aspect of your life over to Him. Choose to be consistent and disciplined to reading your Bible daily. Stay diligent and focus on Him. Surrender to His Word consistently. Surrender to His Word faithfully, then you will bear fruit in all areas of your life with *FAITH*.
It is well
Amen

DAY 3
Sowing the seed of Love.
I want faithful love more than I want animal sacrifices. I want people to know Me more than I want burnt offerings [Hosea 6:6].
God told His people what He expected from them. God desires mercy and love for Him and our neighbours much more than follow religion.
Our grandparents have paid tithes, our parents paid tithes, and we are also paying tithes to those churches and pastors who are enriching themselves, yet our lives are miserable! We show no love and support to our neighbours and family. Perhaps your grandmother is on a sick bed in the village with no money to go to the hospital, yet you paid a tithe this month to a church and have no money left to help! This is religion and not a disciple of Christ Jesus.
As you read *Matthew 25:31-46*, Christ Jesus will remind you on the last day, where were you when I was sick and in need? Get away from me! I do not know you! These include men and women of God who prophesy in the name of Jesus, and cast out demons, and do many mighty miracles. Christ will declare I never knew you! (Matthew 7:21-23).
God wants us to sow in people, give to the poor and needy. This is how we love, as we worship Him truly in spirit and truth (John 4:24).
Sow in Hebrew is zara’, which means to scatter seed, but it also means to become pregnant.” When you sow as a sacrifice, you are depositing or investing your time, money, skills, talents, abilities, and resources in others.
When you sow, you are strategically scattering your seed onto others. Choose to sow into people around you. Choose strategically and consistently sow, and you will reap a continual and consistent harvest.
Christ Jesus said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”(Mark 12:30-31).
Don’t be deceived, an offering is an offering not “seed money.”
Remember, Jesus Christ never built a temple or a church. He sowed into people who were the real temples by His spirit. The scriptures also tell us that Christ Jesus went about doing good (Acts 10:38).
Now, if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8)
Sow and help people as God leads you. Sow and help people as God tells you. Remember, your harvest, your increase, and your promotion come from God. He is the Lord of the Harvest, as you show love for Him.
It is well
Amen
