EX 10-13 / Jer 46:13-28 / Mark 4,5
Ex 10:1,2 Now the LORD said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, that I may show these signs of Mine before him, "and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and your son's son the mighty things I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them, that you may know that I am the LORD."
Ex 12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
Ex 12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
Ex 12:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Ex 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

Monday January 23, 2012: Worship with Ted Pearce
Ted Pearce is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who has been a worship leader since coming to faith while driving south on a stormy Dallas night in January 1990. He has a testimony of salvation by grace through faith with a sound that borrows heavily from artists like Joel Chernoff & Lamb, Paul Wilbur & Israel's Hope, Kol Simcha, Marty Goetz, Karen Davis, Jonathan Settel, Barry & Batya Segal, Liberated Wailing Wall and others who began creating a unique song of Jewish praise to Yeshua in America during the 1970s.
Ted first released a couple of Christian rock albums in the late 90s featuring bluesy Texas rock'n'roll in his bands the Nomadic Farmers & Big Methuselah. Then, reflecting the shift in his passion for a decidedly Jewish Messiah, Ted traveled to Israel in May 2001 to release a 12" vinyl record of "Kineti/Zealous Over Zion" at the Underground Club in Jerusalem. These dance singles were included in a CD entitled "Letter to the Hebrews" during Shavuot. A year later those songs were remixed and new ones produced by the legendary Jerry Marcellino and Bill Cuomo as Ted began working with Galilee of the Nations Records.

Pastor Mark Biltz
Ex 6:2-9:35 / Ez 28:25-29:21 / Mark 3Ex 6:2,3
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD hwhy: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH hwhy was I not known to them.Gen 12:7,8 And the LORD hwhy appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD hwhy, who appeared unto him. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD hwhy, and called upon the name of the LORD hwhy. Heb 11:8,9 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: Ex 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.Who is the Lord? Challenging God’s (Existence) FatherWhy should I obey His voice? Challenging God’s concern for the world (Providence)SonWhy should I let Israel go? Challenging God’s ability to intervene (Omnipotence)HSIn regards to Pharaoh’s question “Who is the LORD” hwhy declares:Ex 7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.Ex 7:15 You go to Pharaoh in the morning.Ex 7:17 Thus says the LORD, In this you shall know that I am the LORD.

Saturday January 14, 2012: Pastor Mark Biltz-SHEMOT – "THE NAMES"/Leslie Wint-"Armed and Dangerous"
Part I: Pastor Mark Biltz
SHEMOT – THE NAMES
Ex 1:1 – 6:1 / Is 27:6-28:13; 29:22,23 / Mark 1,2
Ex 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Ex 1:1 And these are the names
Parallels:
Genesis – God creates mankind
Exodus – God creates a nation
Genesis – Mankind threatened with water, God commands one male to build an ark to preserve life.
Exodus – Nation of Israel threatened with water and one male placed in an ark carried by the waters to preserve life.
Ge 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
Ex 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Ex 13:17,18 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed vmx out of the land of Egypt.
Ex 13:18 But God led the people around, by the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the sons of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Ex 13:18 So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.
Ex 13:18 and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up from the land of Egypt.
Part II: Leslie Wint: "Armed and Dangerous"
Leslie is one of our Shammashin (Deacons) at El Shaddai Ministries. He and his wife Linda oversee our Onegs and have an outreach ministry in Jamaica.

January 9, 2012: "Hidden Treasures From Our Hebrew Roots" - The Hebrew Letter Hei
The Hebrew Language
Pastor Art Palecek
The Divine Order of Hei
The “hei” is the 5th letter of the aleph-bet.
There are 2 other letters that look similar:
The Chet & the Tav:
The Chet has two closed ends-in picture language-fence or inner room
The Tav has a toe and in picture language means sign or to seal, a covenant
In picture language, “Hei” means “to reveal” or “behold”
Isaiah 26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD YEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Isaiah 26:4 Confide ye in Yehovah for ever; for in Yah, Yehovah, is the rock of ages. (Darby)
Yah: hy-Sages say God used the letters yud and Hei to form the divine name
Yah to create the universe.
With the yud He created the” World to come” and the Hei He created this world.
With the “hei” the dalet has a vertical & horizontal component that represents the physical world, the” yud” the spiritual world.
It teaches us to combine the physical world with the spiritual.
Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
This shows the Lord effortless creation of the world
John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
When a man receives God’s holy spirit, he is a new creation.
Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Romans 8:10 But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness.
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
The midrash that God created the universe with the “hei” comes from the letter “hei” in Genesis 2:4
Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

January 7, 2012: Shabbat Teaching - Vayechi "And He Dwelt"
Pastor Art Palecek
Ge 47:28-50:26
1 Kings 2:1-12
Matt 26-28
Man times in youth we don’t necessarily think about who we might marry or what kind of families we’ll have. In this current day it’s difficult to even trace who one’s parents might be.
Psalms 109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Psalms 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
Yet the destiny of all men was re-written when words were spoken by a man over his sons.
Luke 24:6 He is not here, but is risen”
And from the testimony of Festus to King Agrippa about the Apostle Paul::
Acts 25:19 but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
And another:
Genesis 45:25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive
It was the re-uniting of Joseph with his father that would change the destiny of men.
It was the resurrection of Yeshua from death to life that would change the destiny of men forever.
Genesis 47:27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
Genesis 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
The 17 years in Egypt were considered good. 17 is the gematria of TOV-“good”
The destiny of men was affected by Joseph’s success.

January 2, 2012: December 26, 2011: "Hidden Treasures From Our Hebrew Roots" - The Hebrew Letter Dalet
The Hebrew Language
Pastor Mark Biltz
“We love Dalet”
John 10:9 I am the door:
Dalet means pauper or our condition before we meet Yeshua.
Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Revelation 3:14-21 "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door d and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, d then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Pastor Mark Biltz
Genesis 15:13-16 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again:
Hebrews 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

Genesis 42:20-23 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that 2 | P a g e
we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required. And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.

December 26, 2011: "Hidden Treasures From Our Hebrew Roots" - The Hebrew Letter Gimmel
The Hebrew Language
Pastor Mark Biltz
12/26/2011
Letter Gimmel ג
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us,
John 1:19-21 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, I am not the Messiah. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you that prophet? And he answered, No.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
John 1:22,23 Then they said to him, Who are you so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say of yourself? He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord,"
Gimmel has the numerical value of #3
What do we know about the Holy Spirit? He came to accomplish 3 things:
John 16:8 And when that One comes, He will
1.convict the world concerning sin,
2. and concerning righteousness,
3. and concerning judgment.
The Holy Spirit convinces mankind they are guilty of sin before God,
That there is a standard of righteousness that we have failed to achieve
And Judgment is coming where we will be held accountable.

The Ruach HaKadosh (Holy Spirit) gently but firmly persuaded us to provide a place where people would come to celebrate a relationship with Abba--Father on a journey to Torah observance. We chose El Shaddai as the name for our Ministries because there is no doubt He is the GREAT and MIGHTY GOD. Our assembly is made up of people from all faiths and walks of life; we have grown to over 400 people, with over 40,000 listening in from around the world and close to a million hits at the website every month. He has made taking Torah to the Nations possible.
El Shaddai Ministries is a Hebraic Roots Resource faithful to salvation through Yeshua (Jesus), the Lamb! "The Hebraic Roots movement is many things, but one of its key elements is the work to restore the lost Hebraic nature of scripture faith to Christians. Sometimes this is called returning to our Jewish roots, and so it is in part, but it is more. The Most High gave an eternal style to our ancient faith that would be unmistakable in the world as belonging to Him. His people were to be His own and be a chosen people, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. One of the worst things that could happen to the people of Adonai is to assimilate into the world's fashion: to think like the world thinks and to follow the world's lead. Our purpose is to lead the world to worship and obey the Almighty. With such a task before us we must be assimilation proof. We must reflect the show that we have something different and better to offer the world. Please join us in the effort to remain a holy, unique people for the glory of Elohim. Let us together peaceably fight the good fight against assimilation by this evil world system. Thank you and shalom."
