clean up your life consider your circumstances start small have you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered to you are you working hard on your career or even your job are you letting the bitterness resentment hold you back and drag you down have you made peace with your brother are you treating your spouse and your children with dignity and respect do you have habits that are destroying your health and well-being are you truly shouldering your responsibilities have you said what needs to be said to your friends and family members are there things you could do that you know you could do that would make things around you better have you cleaned up your life if the answer is no here's something to try start to stop doing what you know to be wrong start stopping that today you can know that something is wrong or right without knowing why your entire being can tell you something that you can either explain or articulate so simply stop when you apprehend however dimly that you should stop you can use your own standards of judgment you can rely on yourself for guidance you don't have to adhere to some external arbitrary code of behavior although you should not overlook the guidance of your culture life is short and you don't have time to figure everything out on your own the wisdom of the past was hard earned and your dead ancestors may have something useful to tell you let your own soul guide you watch what happens over the days and weeks your head will start to clean up and you'll start as you stop filling it with lies your experience will improve as you stop destroying it with inauthentic actions you will then begin to discover new more subtle things that you're doing wrong stop doing those too after some months and maybe years of diligent effort your life will become simpler less complicated your judgment will improve you will untangle your past you will become stronger and less bitter you'll become more confident you'll move more confidently into the future you'll stop making your life unnecessarily difficult perhaps your uncorrupted soul will see its existence as a genuine good as something to celebrate even in the face of your own vulnerability perhaps you will become an even more powerful force for peace and whatever is good perhaps when will perhaps you will then see that if all people did this in their own lives the world might stop being an evil place after that with continued effort perhaps it could even stop being a tragic place who knows what existence might be like if we all decided to strive for the best who knows the eternal heavens what eternal heavens might be established by our spirits purified by truth aiming skyward right here on the fallen earth that's the end of the court it's like all we can do is fix ourselves fix our rooms fix our homes fix our families in times of total chaos our inner core has to be strong it's like god is moving heaven and earth right now these historic shifts i mean we're like it's like we're changing reality as we know it and like what is our place in this move go into our homes go into our souls start building our ark building our families building our minds building our spirits it's like aim toward the heavens and as god brings heaven down to earth we're going to meet right in the middle fix what's closest to us that's the guidance of the prophets and i can't think of a better strategy for life it's like you know every once in a while i'm just like living my life and i have a flashback to times that i served in the israeli army as a younger man and it's it's like certain scenes that i lived through were all parables for my life that stayed with me and i just want to share this one story with you it's like at the end of advanced training in the idf it's about six months into your training they have a week that's called shavua milham war week and from the first day of basic training all through advanced training consciously and subconsciously we're all sort of counting down to warwick because you know that you're going to experience in that week more pain more endurance more mental anguish than anything you've ever lived through in your entire life and probably anything you ever will live through and you know it gets closer and closer every week and finally the week arrives and you're never prepared and the entire week you don't really sleep a night's sleep maybe a couple of hours here an hour or so there you've been given a small amount of food that four guys need to ration and share and if you mess it up there's no seconds like you're out of food you're out of food and from mission to mission and cam into encampment from night to night it's like all your gear is on you all week you don't take your shoes off the entire week i mean like i don't want to tell you what my feet smelled like but think that idf should come up with like a a patented chemical warfare with the smell of my unit after war week it was like the last march of thursday night it's an all-nighter and it's like exhausted isn't a strong enough word your legs are just moving without your brain's communication anymore it's the closest thing i've ever experienced to actually being a zombie and the march goes on and there's a truck behind the unit waiting for people to drop out and pick them up and in some ways all of war week boils down to this final march and the truck in the back who's going to give up who's going to fall out and soldiers around me are crying and the stronger guys are like grabbing the weaker guys by their universe trying to drag them forward no one needs to give up we just kind of as a unit we're trying to finish off together oh it's like i don't know what to say it's like excruciating and unbearable are the words that come to mind and the week long sleepless nights the lack of food the heavy gear it's just like breaking you it's like just breaking your mind and i'm looking at my watch and i see that man we have at least two more hours until daybreak and i'm just i'm just about to tap out and you know what what is tapping out just like collapsing on the ground and the medics coming to get you and pulling you into the truck that's what tapping out looks like and i just feel like i can't take another step and all of a sudden one of my friends in my unit his name was ellad he started singing and he sounded like a howling dying dog but he was singing his heart out and then a few guys joined him in less than 30 seconds all of us were like singing our freedom song it's like no one in the unit tapped out that night all it took was for one courageous guy to start singing in a new spirit like of hope just like filled our hearts and i want you all to know friends we have been blessed by being called to this fellowship we have a task in the days ahead we need to be the guy singing to the people we love around us who need a boost in their spirits zachariah says sing and be glad o daughter of zion for behold i am coming and i will dwell in your midst zachariah knew exactly what we needed we are the song of redemption and by tapping into the spirit of israel you're given a gift that people around you in your cities they may not have not yet so take this light take the guidance we learned today take it inside strengthen yourselves and then the people that are in your base that are in your ark be that song for them share the light with your loved ones who need it shalom my name is jeremy gimpel a few months ago we started an online seminar teaching life-changing biblical wisdom revealed from the original hebrew and straight from the mountains of judea with global instability on the rise more and more people are turning to god realizing now they don't exactly know where to look for guidance the bible says the guidance will come from the land of israel what started as an online seminar has grown into a global fellowship with hundreds of members from over 30 countries we are participating and fulfilling prophecy as we learn the bible through the eyes of prophecy with a focus on what it's telling about us in our lives today what you will discover is that the wisdom transmitted thousands of years ago is speaking directly to us in our time right now instead of learning the bible as a religion it's the torah of israel the living
