Messianic Torah Observant Israel

We recommend listening to the full teaching, You Are Your Only Obstacle - Giants Fall | Elder William Jackson, before listening to this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect,” simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. 

This effect could occur spiritually after the intense teachings Rabbi Berkson delivers each week. This Afterburn Q&A session allows your mind and soul to consume more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
• Intro
• They didn’t mention the giants?
• Why did David have five stones?
• Is there a giant I need to overcome for someone else? 
• How do I kill a monster without killing myself?
• You’ll be ready when He’s ready 
• Because of this, we have no excuse? 
• “This teaching was my wakeup call” 
• Balancing dayenu with expectations? 
• Should I ignore people talking about the end times on social media? 
• Is it a sin to be wealthy?
• How does Elohim make all our paths straight? 
• Battling our “shadow side”?
• This applies to this life and the next

In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance’ is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.

Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.

• Opener

• Do you know who you’re looking for?
• Call upon him when he is near
• Let the wrong forsake his way
• Return to Yahweh

• Isaiah 55:10-11 – His word does not return empty
• Isaiah 55:12-13 – There’s reward in obedience

• Ezekiel 18:30-32 – Judged according to each man’s ways
