TORAH 101: The Way God Disciplines, Part 1 (The Blessings)

Candace Long

This is a topic that is grossly misunderstood by most Christians.  Part 1 deals with the way God blesses His people…Part 2 will deal with the way He disciplines through Warnings and Curses.

This topic is rooted in what's called the Mishpatim, the entire judiciary record of divine law, as taught in the Torah.  By understanding them, you can know for a certainty how God will deal with someone's actions and the ways He dispenses discipline.  It's not a fuzzy thing.  His judicial ways are concrete and certain.  They are what govern His Kingdom.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • What are the blessings He promises to His children.
  • Who qualifies to receive them.
  • How we can spot the problem if we are not experiencing the blessings.
  • The meaning of Mishpatim and this judicial record can be found.
  • Biblical examples of middah knegged middah and how this helps us understand His disciplinary parameters.
  • How to spot middah knegged middah in our own lives.
  • What actions we should take if we find ourselves under divine discipline.
  • Important resources to help re-connect you with our Jewish roots.
