UPROOTING BAD DECREES!

[Music] ah okay it's a good question if everything is ritten and let's say somebody's sick why would anybody pray if it's already written in the tah if this person is going to die or not right that's the question so the says there's a few things that could change a decree there's a few things that change a decree there's a bad decree that came into the world and there's a few things that can change it one of the things is chuva meaning changing your behavior another thing is changing your name and a third thing is taka what's takaa is screaming what do you mean screaming screaming to hasem begging him for Mercy praying praying why if a person changes their name in essence they could potentially if they do it the right way with the real someone knows what they're doing they could potentially change the decree because in in essence when you have another name you get another added piece to your this should not be done under normal circumstances and many many say are against it because it's dangerous to do it and not use it so for example it's common in the Western World to give people a middle name very common in the western world but it's also common for people not to use the middle name so most people call themselves by their first name and the middle name is just something that's on their passport or their driver's license but in reality nobody knows what it is in Judaism if you have a middle name you have to use it meaning if you're name is is May ruven you have to use isra may ruven you can't just say is why because your name is is the first and middle name are not first there's no such thing as middle name that's your name you have to use the full name don't shorten your name why shortening a person's name can shorten their life also it's not a good idea that if your name is let's say Benjamin don't tell people my name is Ben don't shorten your name shortening your name can shorten your life if you have a name in the Tor you have to use it which means that if before you're going to add a name don't add a name if you don't plan on using it on a regular basis second thing is if you do chuva if you do chuva you could change a decree why because the decree that happened in sham that such and such shalom is gonna be sick was given to a certain person a person that had a 100 pounds worth of sins let's say right but if that person did Chua changed his mistakes stopped violating Shabbat stopped wasting seed stopped this what ends up happening he's no longer the same person the decree was given to a person that's full of sins once he did Chua he's undoing those sins he's even turning some of those sins into which means that yes the decree was given to this person that's full of sins but he's no longer the same person he's a person that already did that's what says to in he says they're lying about me who's lying about you he says the Angels why are they lying about you they're lying about me because they say I sin no they're talking about somebody I used to be I used to sin no now I did Chua so they're still talking about as if I didn't do CH but I did CH meaning that if a person does Chu he can change the decree not because Hashem changed his mind but because we changed our actions and we are no longer the person that deserves that decree same concept of Thea the prayer the prayer is that when a person or a group of people pray for from they pray for Mercy from hasem they're increasing that sick person's merits when that person was getting sick or some type of negative decree they they had let's say 100 PB of merits but also 100 pound of decree that's a negative decree so that decree those merits matched once people started praying for that person once people started learning toah for that person once people started doing good things for the sake of that person they increased the Merit side of that person now it's no longer 100 now it became 200b 300b and Hashem says oh 300b doesn't deserve this 100b the 100b type of guy yeah deserved it but the 300 lb didn't deserve it meaning that there was a change that took place but sometimes sometimes as a last thing for this specific question sometimes we do things a little too late most of the time we do things almost too late and sometimes we do them too late meaning after the decree has already been passed and it's too late to Undo It person already died but sometimes we're really close to that so thear says one timeos was walking in the street with his students and since he was part of the son one of the biggest T that ever lived he knew 70 languages one of those languages was the language of animals and he saw a very dangerous snake past them he said hey what where you going there a snake I see a snake I run away by the way he sees a snake hey where you going he says I'm going to do my job he goes what's your job I'm going to kill uh that Jew down the street on such and such address he says no no you're not allowed to kill that Jew go why I have a job it hasem already sent me I have the memo I got the email I have the email I got I got I'm here says no no you got the email you got the message from Hashem to go do it but since you got it I already met with that Jew earlier today and he did Chua he already decided he's going to stop violating Shabbat he going to stop doing what he's doing so he already started doing Chua he didn't complete Chua but he started doing Chua which means he doesn't deserve the decree that you already got the email go somewhere else go somewhere else someone kados someone Holy says go somewhere else you go somewhere else the snake turns around go somewhere else moments later they heard he killed somebody else got somebody else so the T the students of rabar says rebi how come he went to kill somebody else told you told him to go away no no I didn't tell him to go away I told him to go somewhere else why didn't you tell him to go away Reby goes no I can't tell him to go away it's not my business together Hashem sent him Hashem sent him I just told him to go somewhere else because he doesn't have the right to be here anymore but he still has the right to be here because hasem sent him so now since he doesn't have a right to be here the decree was already passed the bullet was already shot all I told him was to change directions once the bullet is shot there's no undoing it you can't put it back in the gun you could change directions with Divine assistance that's what happened says the decree already came to the world just go to where it does belong now somebody else belonged there which was somebody that was a murderer and he ended up killing him point being abti that sometimes the decree already comes to the world but we can still save the ones we love as a result of prayer as a result of chuva as a result of doing good things but most importantly we shouldn't wait too long because sometimes we don't have the Merit of we know that this is the
