When you hear a message over and over again, you know H'shem is sending it especially for you. I am going to believe it is not only for me but to spread to whoever can hear it as well.
I heard an incredible Shiur today from Rav Raphael Abuchtzerah on the power of speech—how you literally can create your future, good or bad, by the words you choose. The power of our words are sharper than swords, and we must use them very carefully.
I then heard the following speech I transcribed from the Gabi of the Yanuka. I am attaching both links to each Shiur at the bottom so that you can listen to both. I am sorry they are in Hebrew, but I hope I gave over the point of both for those that cannot understand.
I am publicly asking H'shem for Teshuvah for every time I had a negative word or thought, and I am asking that all my thoughts and words should be changed to positive brachot for myself, my family, my group members, and all of Am Yisrael. Amen.
A special message from the Yanuka especially for the days of Purim:
One must be especially careful with their words and thoughts. No negative words or thoughts at all. See only the good that H'shem does, in both thought and speech. Only blessings.
Whoever follows this throughout all the days of Purim—avoiding any sad or negative thoughts and words—can be spiritually reborn. There is a special light and power during these days that can illuminate the entire year, bringing salvation that can only be accessed during this time. This light can bring even the most distant Jew back.
This light can only illuminate within a person who embodies and chooses the path of mercy (Rachamim). The same applies to your prayers. The light comes through prayer when one realizes it is only Him, looks for Him, believes in Him, and waits for Him, anointing Him as King over all the world.
During Purim, they believed a miracle was possible, but they still had to cry out to H'shem. When a person asks H'shem with mercy, like the mitzvot of the day—gifts to the poor (Matanot L'evyonim) and sending portions to friends (Mishloach Manot)—it works. But if one acts in anger or disgust, it will not work.
A person must turn to H'shem, do teshuvah (repentance), and call out to H'shem for everything. The Yanuka says whoever can maintain good words and only merciful thoughts throughout the days of Purim can recreate themselves, regardless of what was previously written—it can be like Creation itself (Ma'aseh Bereshit).
One should wear even nicer clothing than on Shabbat, as Mordechai and Esther wore the most beautiful garments. We will one day wear our mitzvot, and we should dress accordingly.
The days of Purim must be filled in thought and words with prayers that H'shem should reveal Himself with mercy. When a Jew asks for mercy from H'shem, they can draw down mercy to the entire world and achieve complete repentance by simply asking for it.
Play holy (Kadosh) music—it's better to have that playing than too much talking. Keep quiet and bring a good atmosphere into the house with holy music.
One should always turn to H'shem and know how precious we are to Him. Do teshuvah from love, accept the Torah through love, and may we merit to receive the redemption (Geulah) speedily in our days, amen. So may it be His will.
