From my own personal experience with prayer, prayer is including Yahushua in everything I think and do. He is with me all the time, and only waits to be
included. He's personal, like an invisible Friend, and I believe He wants us
to be natural and informal with Him. We can be this honest with Him, since
He knows us so intimately. We're the ones who usually puts the 'veil' over
our minds, blocking out the knowledge that He's really there.

He's benevolent, but we mustn't try to force Him to act. What we do, our
aspirations, goals, and daily efforts will succeed simply by making Him a
part of them. More accurately, we submit to His will so much in our lives,
that everything we do is His work in our lives, so it automatically
succeeds. When we fail, it is because He is not in it, nor was it something He ever wanted us to do.   We've mostly overlooked His wishes, and wasted our time.   When we try to accomplish our designs, not His, we waste our time and effort. This is why we get the feeling He is "looking away".

THE HOLOCAUST

     The Holocaust is difficult to explain, but the answer may be quite simple.
Who died in the holocaust? Who was attacking them? Israel was being attacked; and it was a spiritual battle where ha shatan was the aggressor. Basically, I view the character of Pharaoh in Mosheh's time as Satan, who held Israel captive (all twelve tribes of Israel).   YHWH made a Covenant with these 12 tribes, and their seed.   Satan still hates this covenant, mainly because he remembers the height from which he has fallen. He sees Israel taking his place, and it has driven him mad.

During Dawid's (or Da'ud) time, a split started just after Abshalom’s death between northern Israel and southern Israel. These two became known as the "House of Israel", and the "House of Yahudah". The northern "House of Israel" was made up of 10 tribes, while "Judah" (House of Yahudah) was made up of 2, Yahudah and Binyamin (Lewi was also present, but not counted in the 12). The northern 10 tribes became a stench in YHWH's nostrils, and Yerme Yahu 3 will show what happened -- YHWH issued a "certificate of divorce" to the 10 tribes, and they were carried away by the Assyrians 2700 years ago. These tribes lived in "Samaria", and became known as "Samaritans". They added an eleventh Commandment, prohibiting the attending of the feasts at Yerushalyim. These northern "Samaritans" are the "lost sheep of the tribes of Israel" -- whom Yahushua was sent to re-gather, and He is doing so now, through His Natsarim. Note particularly Yerme Yahu 3:7-9, 31:1-7, Ezek. 37, Amos 9:9, Eph. 3, and Acts 15.

     A little over 125 years later, the House of Yahudah was also carried away, in this case by the Babylonians.   After 70 years in captivity, only 10% of them ever returned; so, 90% of the House of Yahudah is also "sown" into the Gentile nations -- lost Yahudim. The holocaust is part of the curse promised at Deut. 28-30, upon the southern tribes called "Judah", because they have acted just like their "sister", the northern tribes that were taken away 2700 years ago.   The northern tribes are called "Ephraim", Joseph's descendants, and are in the 100's of millions all over the Earth. They are living like Pagans, but are coming to their senses as the parable of the prodigal son illustrates they will. Like Joseph, we will reveal ourselves to our brothers one day. But, Joseph was really a type of Mashiach Yahushua -- he was sent as a savior, and will reveal Himself to His brothers to the extent that they will mourn greatly as for a firstborn son.
The Holocaust? That is just the Tribulation clearing it's throat. Wait
until the real concert gets into full swing.

WHAT TO DO WHEN PERSECUTED

     Let's say someone has wronged you. They stubbornly continue to do so, and spread gossip about you.   From your point of view, you are "in the right", but you would like to "do" something about it. It does involve "doing" something.
Scripture has the answers to all our human problems. Without knowing what to do at one time many years in the past, I felt as you do now.   I didn't know
what to do. Here's the solution to your problem, as Yahushua gave us the
simple answer:

Pray for them. Those who persecute us and misuse us we must pray for, and
very diligently.

Next, love them.   Love your enemies.

     Help them in any way you can, and tell them that you've taken time to give
the situation some thought, and that you're sorry for whatever part you have
played in causing the outcomes, and that you forgive them -- and will put it
in the past. Then, keep on doing this as much as is necessary. You will be
like your Father in Heaven, and He will see this and reward you for it.
Someone like yourself who has the hope of eternal life cannot be harmed by
anything in this world. They can kill your body, but they cannot hurt YOU.
Yahushua was NAILED TO WOOD naked, Stephen was stoned for just saying "YHWH" aloud; when you are in the worst pain from the torment you are subjected to, compare it with being nailed to wood naked, thirsty, your back in ribbons, and hunks of your body torn from you.

     We must realize that Yahushua speaks to us today through each other -- He didn't have to leave us anything penned in His own hand, because His Spirit is much more dynamic than that -- He is living and active, in us, His
Temple.

     We only need to be taught by the Master. He knows suffering, and our trials are only tests to see how we really are. Our reactions to circumstances are often spiritual battles -- it is not against flesh and blood that we
struggle.

QUESTIONS THAT OFTEN COME UP WHEN THE TOPIC OF PRAYER IS MENTIONED:    "AMEN"

A Question: Can you help me out with the word “amen”? Why do we say it? Where did it come from? Is it commanded to be said by YHWH whenever we pray? Is it alright not to say it? Should we be saying something different to end our prayers? Is this word linked in any way to the Egyptian "Amon Ra"?

An Answer: Actually, there are many things we do that YHWH never commanded, nor even mentioned.

Synagogues - where are they mentioned in the Torah? But, they aren't illegal either. They should not be

The word "Amein" seems to be something said as a way of "affirming" what is said by another, as we see it is commonly defined, "so be it". Here's a few ideas on its use that I easily pulled from the internet on this word:

The Greek word AMHN (amen) comes from a similar sounding Hebrew word and means something along the lines of "let it be so" and "truly". The word "amen" in Hebrew seems to be derived from the verb "aman", meaning "to strengthen" or "confirm".

Yahushua uses AMHN in a similar way to the TaNaKh when he says "Verily, Verily, I say..." (AMHN AMHN LEGW).

Note Numbers 5:22, Psalms 41:14 and 72:19. (I would not be relying heavily on the idea that Yahushua was speaking Greek).

We could probably say "verily" or "truly" as an English way of expressing the idea - but you know how people are; they are prone to imitating others, and imbue certain words with exclusive feelings. My personal opinion is the word "amein" is fine, but some people link it with the Pagan deity, Amon Ra. In Egyptian, the word amon means "hidden". In Hebrew, amon means "faithful".

So, I guess "Amon Ra" could mean "hidden evil". Amein to that . . . , verily, truly, and absolutely too!
