Shabbat Shalom, I wanted to share some correspondence I had a while back through a letter concerning some confusion about ‘Gentiles’. Please use this as your own springboard to study. It is the enemy who causes confusion, strife and division. I do not claim to know all, but I realize that if I remain soft, pliable, teachable under the tutoring of…
In Luke 21, Messiah is speaking about the tribulation…Right in the middle of it, He says in verse 19 “Possess your lives by your endurance!” You see, the value of what we possess (own) is measured by our endurance (perseverance under pressure) to hold onto it. It is only through pressure that our endurance is tested, necessary to retain the…
“Would you like something encouraging to read today?” These were the words upon my lips earlier this morning. Jerry, Marlin, Kenneth, Beth, Sherry and John are just a few of the names of the people we had a chance to minister to today. Last night, Rivkah felt led to put together a small handout with Psalm 121 on it to…
Last night, while taking Freedom our dog out for his last bathroom run for the night, both Rivkah and I were standing there as Freedom walked along the grassy area next to a fenced off pasture. The air was still and the faint hum of the freeway was off in the distance. Then, all of a sudden, I heard what…
How many of us have been crushed – in a sense of a bruising of spirit? People are crushed by other people, whether through their death, relationships or the weight of daily life and circumstances, it is the interaction with people — both those we love and those strangers we rely upon to handle our precious business, that impact our…
Boker Tov (Good Morning), Last night, as we sat and watched the video from Steven ben-DeNun, who reported on the recent United States Supreme Court decision of refusing to recognize Jerusalem as a part of Israel, we sat and wept in our spirit. It was this morning, as I sat down to read our Psalm for the day, I…
Today is Shavuot – the day we celebrate, according to Leviticus 23, the giving of the Torah and the giving of the Spirit of Yahuweh by Messiah Yahushua. We have been in transitional mode now for awhile, and know that our blogs have been few and far between. However, I wanted to share with you a quick word of thanksgiving…
“Lo, thou seekest revival. Thou doest well; only seek it not in the energy of the flesh. For the flesh is ever intent upon its own interests; yea, it ever lusteth after those things which do perish with the using. For I would that ye might seek Me in Spirit: then would I come down upon you in all My…
Shabbat Shalom! As we prepare to enter the Passover week, we wanted to share (or should we say re-share) an article previously written about worship. Not only worship, but ‘unleavened’ worship. What is unleavened worship? It is the simple, pure worship that results from being de-contaminated of the leaven in our lives through allowing His oil, His wick, His flame to…
“O My child, I am coming to thee walking upon the waters of the sorrows of thy life; yea, above the sounds of the storm ye shall hear My voice calling thy name…Be not anxious. What seemeth to thee to be at present a difficult situation is all part of My planning, and I am working out the details of…
Shabbat Shalom This blog will continue the discussion on Passover from “Spring Feast of Yahuweh – Part 1” and introduce Shavuot (Pentecost). If you did not see our post on Part 1, you may access it here: Part 1 When is Passover 2015 according to Father’s calendar? As we mentioned before, this feast is mandatory according to Exodus 12:14-17 and…
“Have ye read the testimony of My servant Habakkuk? And have ye read of the latter days of My servant, Job? There can be no permanent loss in the life of My children, for out of the seeds of every calamity riseth a whole crop of new victories. It is the way I have made it. The greatest evidence of…
This study investigates various issues many believers do not wish to discuss because they are either too shameful to mention or perhaps the issues are completely unknown to them. Some of the questions discussed are: Why do I still struggle with sin? Why do I still feel guilty though I have been forgiven of my sins? Can I lose my salvation?…
“Come back into focus” These were the words I received while riding on the bus yesterday from the town to our little community. As I began pondering the words in my heart, while walking the dusty road back to the house, I could not help thinking of my love of photography. I have always loved taking photographs using a shallow…
“And the same day, when the even was come, He saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was in the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat…
“Without the fiery furnace, we will never know if we passed the loyalty test” In Daniel 3, Nebuchadnezzar had set up an image that whoever did not fall down in obeisance to it at the sound of the music, they were to be immediately thrown into the furnace of fire. As the story goes, the three Hebrews refused to bow…
This Shabbat morning, as I sat rocking back and forth on my couch, holding firmly in my hand the tzitzit of the tallit I was under, tears flowed as I recalled the images in my mind of one of the Rabbi’s blood soaked tzitzit from the horrific attack in the Har Nof Synagogue in Jerusalem on November 18th. Who could…
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the day of finalities, the summation of the 40 days of repentance, the completion of the 10 Days of Awe. What does it all mean? To the Orthodox Jews, it means fasting and repentance, spending the day in prayer and the synagogue, hoping their names are sealed in the Book of Life, and wishing others…
“So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of Yahushua, by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the House of Elohim, let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from…
The time of Elul and the season of T’Shuvah (repentance) is here. Our desire is that you will use this ‘preparation time’ wisely, and cry out to Abba to place you on His examination table. We have entered the time of no return, no going back. If you have set your sights on the coming Kingdom of Messiah, you understand…
I was looking out the window this morning while eating and I was talking to Yahuweh. I was expressing my desire to always “feel” His presence as the leaves of the trees feel His wind, and as the plants feel the rain when it comes down. I want to sense His presence as I did in the car on the…
A special video message. Remember the lives lost – Celebrate Israel’s independence! Today, is Israel Independence Day. Over 23,000 Israeli soldiers have died defending the country since Israel’s independence in 1948. Sirens went off at precisely 11:00 am today. A siren sounded and an entire nation took a moment to remember the price Israel has paid for the privilege of…
Is Yahuweh a dirty rag to be used whenever we need to clean up something in our lives? Is He nothing more than a band aid stuck in our back pocket to be pulled out when we get a boo boo? Where are the ones of Psalm 119 who cry out ‘Greater is your Torah than thousands of silver and…
In preparation for the Passover season, I wanted to re-release this study article – ‘The Call to Unleavened Worship’. Worshipping Yah must be done in a fashion that is void of anything within us that causes ‘self’ to ‘rise’ and be puffed up. He is after unleavened lifestyles. Removing the ‘rising factor’ from our lives, through recognition that He is…
John 11 contains probably one of the most powerful stories in all of Scripture – The raising of Lazarus. I remember my mom telling me the time she had gone to see the movie, The Greatest Story Ever Told. She said when it came time for the intermission, no one in the theater got up or even moved. You see,…
Shabbat Shalom, Chuck Girard’s song “The Days Are Young” from his album Voice of the Wind begins with “You have awakened me and now I rejoice in starting over…” This song plays over and over in my spirit throughout the day all the time! Today, I read in Acts how as Sha’ul (Paul) and Barnabah traveled, shared the ‘Good News’…
Shabbat Shalom! Today, December 21, 2013, is my 43rd birthday. Today, I have decided to begin a blog. I have always enjoyed writing and I believe it is time to expand upon what Yahuweh has placed in my heart. For now, this blog will remain basic with no flashy backgrounds, pictures, fonts and videos. For those of you that know…
