Can the dead come to life today? Rabbi Steve Berkson kicks this teaching off by taking you to Ephesians 2 where the Apostle Paul writes about the dead coming to life. This is also found in Colossians 3 where it reads, “If, then, you were raised with Messiah…Do you know what things to do to please your spouse? Are you doing what is pleasing to The Creator, in the way He intended? Rabbi Steve takes you to Matthew 22 to begin to understand what you need to do in order to please Abba. We see Yeshua quoting the “v’ahavta”, Deuteronomy 6:5-9, saying that we should love Yahweh with all of our mind. Also as is written in Philippians 2:5 that you “let this mind be in you that was also in Messiah Yeshua.” The word ‘let’ indicates a personal responsibility to allow this to happen. In Romans 12 Rabbi Steve brings out that it is your “reasonable service” to renew your mind so that you will know how to please your Heavenly Father. Again, it is evident that it is your responsibility to do this as you are motivated by love–H

Continuing the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”, Rabbi Steve Berkson once again redefines words and terms that have been lost to time and culture.Rabbi Steve takes us first to the Gospel of Matthew 16:21 where we see Yeshua telling His disciples how He would die and then be brought back to life. But Peter rebukes Him and Yeshua rebukes Peter back; was Peter demon-possessed?How is the thought process related to becoming an enemy of God?Continuing, Rabbi Steve takes us to Romans 8 where he unpacks the writing of Paul in a way you probably have not heard before. Which “law” is being talked about? Is it always referring to the Torah? What is meant by “Spirit”? Is it a wispy, smoke-like thing that enters a human?Find out which verse it is that is key to understanding that Yeshua Messiah died for the world.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlUnderstanding the Ruach/SpiritINfocus: The Three VoicesDon't miss out on new teachings e

Continuing the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to Luke 8:5-18 and the parable of the Sower and the Seed. We know that the “seed” is the Word of God and the “soil” is our heart. Rabbi Steve teaches us about the “soil/heart” and how it interacts with the “seed/Word of God”, and how the way we think has a huge part in that interaction. Are you submissive to the authority of the Word of God?Why should you pay attention when the scriptures tell you to “take heed”?Does the Holy Spirit teach you directly without a person, or do we need teachers today?This and much more in this week’s teaching.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlUnderstanding the Ruach/SpiritTahor & Tamei: What State Are You In?Are You Saved?Baptism of FireCC101: Endure and Receive the Crown of LifeCC101: ShabbatDo You Know the Father and the Son?Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Rabbi Steve Berkson continues the topic, “The Mind and Thinking of Man, and How It Relates to Authority”. He begins by taking us to Matthew 10:34 with a warning, “Do not jump to conclusions!” Did Yeshua Messiah come to bring “peace”? Many believe that is true, but what does Yeshua’s own words say? What did He mean when he said your family would become your enemy?What is a “Delusion Bubble”? Most people live in one, do you?How can “Binge Watching” teachings be harmful to your spiritual health?How does the teaching that the Law (Torah) has been done away with, destroy our physical world?There is more in this teaching than can be put into this description.

Rabbi Steve Berkson continues the topic, “The mind and thinking of man, and how it relates to authority”. He begins in Matthew 3 where we see Yochanan (John), the immerser preaching and immersing the people. Rabbi Steve points out that it’s highly likely, Yochanan was the legitimate High Priest of his time, which is why the people were coming out to him.We see the religious rulers of that time coming out to see what’s going on and Yochanan calls them out, saying, “Do not think to say to yourselves…”. They thought they didn’t need what Yochanan was doing because of their genealogy, being descendants of Abraham, they were alright. It’s a “thinking process” for bad or for good.“We think, unfortunately, with our own agenda–we need to be thinking with His agenda–how do we take His agenda and turn it into actions, habits and Destiny?”“We live according to His Word because of our love for him, our trust in Him, belief in Him–knowing that what we do is going to bring the rewards He has promised us.”Rabbi Steve packs

Here in part 7 Rabbi Steve Berkson continues the topic, “The mind and thinking of man, and how it relates (or doesn’t relate) to authority”.In this teaching you will discover those who are doing wrong, thinking they’re doing right, and not understanding why they have no peace. The admonition is to “think about what it is you’re thinking about!”How do the curses from Deuteronomy 28 strengthen our faith? What is an “Idea Evangelist”?Isaiah 59:16 speaks of an “intercessor”–to whom is this referring?Does Matthew 15 and Mark 7 say that Yeshua made all foods clean?

In Genesis 6:5 we see that man’s thinking had devolved to “only evil continually” which caused the Creator to be grieved in His heart. What does this mean “grieved in His heart”? Yet, there was one man, Noach (Noah) whose was “a righteous man, perfect in his generations” – what is that all about? What was the reason Noach and his family were put on the ark and ultimately saved from the destruction of the Flood?In part 6 of What Are You Thinking Rabbi Steve Berkson helps us to explore “the mind and thinking of man and how it relates to authority”.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlWhose Eyes Are You Right In?Are You Saved?Do You Know the Father and the Son?Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

Rabbi Steve Berkson addresses the topic of “Yeshua knows our thoughts and our struggle with authority”. We begin with the event where Yeshua healed a person by simply saying “Your sins be forgiven you”, which caused an uproar with the religious leaders of the time, accusing Yeshua of blasphemy. They could not accept the authority of Yeshua as Messiah because of their predisposed thinking of who the Messiah should be. Yeshua didn’t fit their paradigm.What does “blasphemy” mean? Can just anyone commit “blasphemy”? What is meant by “the reign (kingdom) of Elohim (God) has come upon you”? Do you struggle with recognizing the authority of those you interact with? Have you found the teacher or leader who is meant for you? He may not be according to your paradigm, but this is the reason you are here–to figure out whose authority you are under, your’s?, haSatan’s?, Yahweh’s?. Who do you think is in charge?This teaching is full of practical application material that will definitely keep you on the path to the Kingdom.

Although Yahweh told a group of people that He chose them to be a select group for His purpose, there was a contingency attached, the “if/then” that we read about–“If you diligently obey my voice, then I will accept you as my people.” So, regardless of what is taught about Jesus did it all, did He really? Yeshua did what He had to do and none of what we need to do. We still have a responsibility to hear and do what we are commanded and walk before Him in humility. The Spirit of Yeshua, the Ruach haKodesh will help us with the desire and ability.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlDeveloping the Character of YeshuaLove & TorahMy Sheep Know My VoiceInfocus - Nothing Wrong with Tradition, UNLESS…Well Done, Good and Trustworthy ServantDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

What is the purpose of the “correction of Yahweh”? What is “evil” according to scripture? What is meant by “their ear is uncircumcised”? Is the doctrine of dispensationalism correct? Continuing in the Book of Jeremiah the prophet, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us to chapter 6 where he shows us the relationship of thinking and instruction.

After a review of part 1 where we left off in Jeremiah 4:14 “O Yerushalayim, wash your heart from evil, and be saved. Till when would your wicked thoughts remain within you?” and Rabbi Steve Berkson explains that their thoughts led to actions that caused Babylon to come, he moves into Jeremiah 5 with the understanding that all that happening to people of Judah at that time was a result of “wrong thinking”.Now, to apply this to us today the question is asked, “Are you seeking THE TRUTH, or are you seeking to justify that your perception of truth is right?”Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlMaking Decisions…the reason you existBaptism of FireAre You Listening?The Fear of Yahweh Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

How many times have you read the accounts detailed in scripture and said to yourself, “What were they thinking?” Even though hindsight is 20/20 and the examples can be seen in scripture, you could still be guilty of doing the same nonsense as they did. All day long, as you make choices and decisions, you should continually ask yourself, “What are you thinking?”Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlThe Heart of the MatterMaking Decisions…the reason you existThe Fear of YahwehDon't miss out on new teachings every week.

Is “tithing” mentioned in the Brit Hadashah (New Testament)? Some say it is not, therefore, tithing is not required for modern-day believers–we are to give as we are able. Beginning in Matthew 23:23, Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches on the subject of tithing from the perspective of the Brit Hadashah.

Song for Bo

Tithing is a part of the Restoration Process–of coming into observance of the Torah. Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us into the book of Nehemiah, chapters 9 and 10 to teach us that as we come into covenant with the Creator, become obedient to His Torah, which includes tithes and offerings, so that those who are ministering among us–teaching us, leading us, helping us to understand–should by our obedient giving be “strengthened in the Torah” and then we in turn the same.Then moving into Malachi chapter 3 we see Yahweh warning the priests, the Levites, about “robbing” Him concerning tithes and offerings and challenging them, and us, to prove Him to see if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out more blessings than they can deal with–but they/we must turn from their ways and get back on the righteous path.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlThe Heart of the MatterWhose Eyes Are You Right In?The Search for the Doctrine of Grace Don't miss out on new teachin

There are some who declare that tithing is not for today–is this true? If tithing is instructed that we do it, shouldn’t we? Aren’t we promised that in our obedience we are blessed?Rabbi Steve Berkson delves into the “mechanics” of tithing–how much, the Seven-Year Cycle, etc. Then we learn about how tithing is a part of the “Restoration Process” as Rabbi Steve takes us through the steps.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlBaptism of FireMaking Decisions…the reason you existDo Not Do As They Do Don't miss out on new teachings every week.

What is “tithing”? What does the word ‘tithe’ even mean? What are we supposed to “tithe”? Who gets this “tithe”? Now, before you get the idea that this teaching is a covert fundraising effort, know that this teaching is for you, for your benefit, and for you to know that the Creator has your good in mind when he instructs you to give, what you should give and to whom you should give.Rabbi Steve Berkson exhorts us that all obedience brings blessing. When you are obedient in your giving practices–in the same way gravity works–blessings will come to you. You should appreciate the blessings and never forget from whom they come.Related Teachings can be found here, http://mtoi.org/learn_with_us/learn_with_us.shtmlCC101: Endure and Receive the Crown of LifeDon't miss out on new teachings every week.
