    2:51 > #SoOpenUpUrHeart... I love it when you say that... Like it's evoking something within... Baruch hashem 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 4:41 each sentence corresponds to a specific type of shefa; shefa is a Hebrew word that conveys the concept of divine abundance and blessing that's bestowed upon the recipients and 4:50 - delving deeper into the meaning of each line of the b'rakah. 4:56 1. May Hashem bless you and protect you this first sentence is associated with the shefa of of kindness and protection from above. 5:24 2.May Hashem deal kindly and graciously with you this second sentence invokes the shefa of gurah; strength and Grace. 5:48 3. May Hashem bestow his favor upon you and Grant you peace, this corresponds to the shefa of tiferet; harmony and peace. 7:32>>> open up your heart in the deepest way. 7:35 -it's not only the kohanim delivering the blessing who have to be in the proper mental state the deepest secret is that the blessing received by each person is commensurate to the extent that each person has prepared to receive the blessing so we need to prepare ourselves to receive God's blessings. This is the concept of #kavana which can best be translated as intentionality, it's a word that really means to aim in the right direction it's about sharpening our consciousness like an arrow and aiming it correctly this in intentionality plays a major role in Torah thought a practice. Our sages teach us that the intentions with which we approach our actions greatly impact every aspect of our Lives including the outcome and reception of blessings from above 18:48>>> Every one of us because every individual has a unique soul and a purpose in this world and because no two hearts are the same each of us through Our intention contributes something special to this world that no one else can

    Right now, everyone is a “creation” the real question people are asking is: How can I become a son / daughter of the Creator? How can I join the family? Answer: Repent and turn away from your wicked ways. Read the Bible / the manual on how to live a righteous life. And speak with your Creator daily. He will guide you.

I am my spirit, I am not my flesh, God can do as he pleases and nobody can say otherwise. Now why would He do that?? ahhhh, because the house of Israel was supposed to teach the nations who Almighty God is and His laws but they didn't; They kept it for themselves.

    Do we know how many different flags the angles have? Do we know what the different flags represent? Do we know the jobs/responsibilities associated with each flag? It is amazing to me how the little things in our global civilization is based off of the design of G-d. Now that I think about, I bet the parts of our society that are successful are all based off of G-d's design. Everything else that man tries that is not from G-d's design will fail.
