Shalom, Our first episode of Voice of the Shofar is ready to view. A very informal ‘fireside chat’ about the things that are on the heart of the Father. We also talk about Passover and have a great testimony! Blessings and joy! Derek and Rivkah Click <HERE> to Watch!
In the beginning, the creation of the family stemmed from the desires of the heart of the Creator to have someone to fellowship with and who would rule and reign over His creation. As important as this initial creation was, as everything outside of Yahuweh must have a beginning point, the utmost importance and concern of the Creator is the…
Shabbat Shalom! It gives us great delight to say Happy New Year to all of you! On March 25th, at sunset, the new moon of the first month of Aviv was sighted IN Jerusalem! You know what that means! We’ve entered the time of the Passover season and the time of ridding ourselves from everything that weighs us down (leaven)…
Shalom! I am a bit late in posting the new moon report for the 13th month which began February 25, 2020. Lots of rain in Israel has pushed back the maturing of the barley which is why we are now in the middle of the 13th month. In fact, today was Purim! Please check out the link <HERE> for the…
On this 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, we remember to put feet to the deliverance Messiah has wrought. The blood of the Lamb opens prison doors but we have the responsiblity to flee from that cage of slavery. Rivkah and I enjoyed a beautiful Passover meal with the Prayer & Training Center last night and it was a joyous celebration…
“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.” – Exodus 12:2 Recorded at the Prayer & Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas, Rivkah shares the importance of living an unleavened life as she introduces the true meaning of Passover. So much has been lost in our understanding of the true,…
“This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.” – Exodus 12:2 We are a people of deliverance – therefore we must be a people of remembrance. We have stepped into the Passover season, a season of humility where the barley sheaves are bowed low and are waiting for their harvest. Today is the…
Shabbat Shalom and a joyous new year to you! This evening at sunset, March 8th, begins the new year (Aviv 1). This is an exciting time to be alive and to be able to participate in the Feasts of Yahuweh. Rivkah and I are delighted about celebrating Passover this year. Click <HERE> to view the dates for the 2019 Spring…
Yochanan (John) the beloved sat so close to Messiah at the dinner table that evening that he was able to rest his head upon His chest. He wanted to hear what was on His Master’s heart. It was revealed to John that Judas would be the one who would betray his Master. Birthed from an intimate moment with Yahushua, this…
There is a shifting – a turbulence, a kind of ‘changing of the guard’ occurring right now. Do you sense it? Do you feel it? This podcast was recorded live from the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Listen, as Derek presents the Day of Atonement in a fascinating new light. We have entered into the period of…
While the world keeps spinning in darkness, the Savior and King Yahushua (Jesus) is preparing for His return. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Click <HERE> to Listen!
Pardon the smaller shofar, but my big one is in storage (more transitions going on). Please check out our calendar for the 2018 festival dates <HERE> We welcome in the 1st of Aviv (Nisan) with the blowing of the shofar. Watch <HERE> Chag Sameach! Our Passover season has begun!
A pertinent reminder to remember–lest we forget the wonders performed by such a Great Love, to rescue our shame and crown us with esteem. Let us not damn ourselves because we failed to remember the horror of our sins, so cleanly washed away by the blood of an innocent Lamb. Where would I be today without You, O my beloved…
Shalom all! Today, in Jerusalem, the new moon was sighted, marking the beginning of the new year and new month of Nisan/Aviv. Thanks to the hard work and dedication from abibofgod.com, they have reported that there will be an abundance of barley ready to be used in the wave sheaf offering on First Fruits. Truly this is a joyous and…
In preparation for Passover 2017, Derek shares his thoughts and heart in response to an email from a dear brother. Listen as Derek discusses insights into Messiah Yahushua being our Menorah, in whom we have been created to be vessels of honor to contain the anointed oil of His Father’s Spirit. We are mediators of the Gospel message–priests wearing the…
In my walk, as a believer in Messiah and His whole Word from Genesis to Revelation, it is amazing to me of how many times, and in a variety of ways, that I hear how people are so excited to be “free” from that ole’ cursed Law. “The Law was nailed to the cross,” they say. What is not understood…
Boker Tov (Good Morning), The sun is up this morning! And as I prayed one morning, ‘that means that life is continuing’, I am thankful still for that faithful witness in the sky – a witness that says what the Creator says is true! (Psalm 19:1-2). That prayer that I prayed that morning, can be found in the podcast here:…
Shalom! We have received several comments/messages concerning the announcement of Yom Teruah and the declaration of the 7th month (Tishrei). The answer lies in the barley search that took place earlier this year and the final determination of the beginning of the Festival calendar. There was much confusion over this regarding the barley teams that went out. Rivkah and I…
Shabbat Shalom, Things have been a whirlwind lately. We apologize for not having our calendar updated with the Festival dates for 2016 before today. However, as of this morning, they have been updated. There have been many turn of events in our lives since the beginning of March this year, and we just wanted to take a moment to fill…
A call for unity for all aviv barley search teams, whether Messianic, Jew, or Karaite, to come together and standardize a process for determining a uniform definition of “aviv barley”, based upon the Scriptural requirements necessary to proclaim the month of aviv. An agreeable process for determining the beginning of the Biblical year MUST be established for all who desire…
Shabbat Shalom, Rivkah and I have continued to receive more questioning regarding the “floating” aviv barley reports, that seem to be drifting into the “air space” of concerned believers. “Who’s report are we to believe?”, they ask. If we go by Isaiah 53:1–it is to whom Yahuweh reveals His “Barley Sheaf”, that will determine what report to believe. Recently, a…
Hear this special message of preparation for all of Yahuweh’s set-apart ones. Today is the day for His set-apart ones to be hidden under the wings of the Almighty. He is gathering His chicks around Him. Today is the day of the beginnings of separation, and the thrust towards the ushering in of Messiah Yahushua–our Passover Lamb. To listen and/or…
Shalom, and Happy Rosh Chodesh! At sunset this evening, begins the 13th month on the Hebrew Calendar. The barley was not found in the aviv stage throughout Israel–even in the warmer regions such as in the northern Negev. If the barley was not in the aviv stage in the warmer regions, then it stands to reason that it was not…
Do you compromise in the name of peace? Does the verse in Romans 12:18, where it says “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men,” mean that we are to compromise on Father’s standards or Messiah’s Words so we can live in peace with unbelievers or even other believers? Do not ask me…
“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…
This blog will discuss Purim and introduce Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread/First Fruits, along with answering the following questions: Should we celebrate the Feasts/Festivals? If yes, what has been mandated by Father versus traditions of man? When are they on the world calendar? Should we celebrate the “Feasts of the Lord (Yahuweh)” of Leviticus 23 when they are in the “Old”…

Part II and III, are in the process of being written, however, Part I is ready and can be downloaded here: Note: You may also find…
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…
