Hello scattered friends and family in Messiah! Let's just call it how it is and prepare to make adjustments accordingly. I implore the body of Messiah to stop cowering in complacency and draw the line firmly and be willing to let go of some of our cultural comforts to do what is necessary to maintain those boundaries. Small sacrifices really in the grand history of Biblical martyrs before us. Do you not know that to whatever you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to what you obey—whether to sin resulting in death, or to obedience resulting in righteousness? Rom 6:16 If I routinely follow my sinful nature (lawlessness) I am a slave to lawlessness. ( Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness—indeed, sin is lawlessness 1 JN 3:4) Conversely if I am obedient to YHWH I am His slave. But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life. Rom 6:22 So then... Where is your allegiance? *to lawlessness (sin) * to YHWH (keeping His commands/Torah) There is no sitting on the fence. It is high time for ambassadors of Messiah to firmly and boldly make moves to protect your children and separate your family and church from the lawless society. It is time for the adults to push back against the forces of evil at work around us. We are in a spiritual war make no mistake. The western culture and government have worked hard to make these adjustments over several decades:
American/western culture started with convincing women to be like men, and called it "liberation." Slowly breaking down the family by upheaving the YHWH given design. Men eventually by and large conceded to a lesser role in the family and society. Divorce sky rocketed and it is well documented that fatherless homes lead to upticks in violent behavior, depression, addictions, promiscuity etc among the children. Popular cartoons, and tv shows made the message one of humor: bugs bunny cross dressing, Madea, Mrs. Doubtfire etc Televison does indeed "Tell A VISION" At that time, you walked in the way of this world, in conformity to the >>>ruler of the domain of the air—the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience.<<< Eph 2:2 Airwaves pl N: the medium of radio and television transmission Coincidence? The "ruler of the domain of the air--the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience-- > uses TV, music, radio to stroll right into your living room and home as if he owns it and start infiltrating your mind and that of your children through "Tell A vision" (television) and radio. Simply look at the subliminal messages going into cartoons and the in your face messages now in the half-time show, grammy awards etc. Satanic rituals in full view. The whisper of deception is now a roaring tide trying to sweep away those who will not conform. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony does Messiah have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement does God’s Temple have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God—just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” 2 Cor 6:14-18 This "agenda" is the idolatry of our age: selfish desires and pride. This is a demonic/satanic move of war. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and self-discipline 2 Tim 1: 7 The time of the church being complacent is over. As we teach our children: We live in America; we are NOT OF America. We are Kingdom people, Hebrew, and our culture is HIS culture...Kingdom culture. * This is not a post of condemnation on single parents or divorced parents and there are many reasons that may have happened. This is a post on the general progression and overall breaking down of the family unit promoted by the government so they can step in and have more control over the family and children. Please understand the difference. If you cannot that is unfortunate but to remain silent due to possible offence is not an option. That silence and complacency is what got us here.* YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON FACEBOOK HERE! : (1) Pursuing the upward call | Facebook This is a public "personal blog" pg via Facebook to make it easier for readers to connect and share.

Hello scattered friends and family in Messiah! Biblical femininity is beautiful (walking in: purpose, wisdom, self-control, dignity, kindness generosity, meekness, patience, & modesty are values to be admired and character traits that build others up ) our society is determined to create confusion and tell women you are 'liberated' by trying to take over the responsibilities of men. While at the same time aiming to erase women altogether now by allowing men to claim women's roles in: life, sports etc. Diminishing the role of both men and women in the family structure, and public life. This ideology has created a vacuum of women in bondage to the expectations of a society and culture that will never be satisfied. A vacuum that always wants "more" and consistently: takes, takes, takes from those who try to conform so as not to "ruffle feathers," or offend. The message to women that you are never enough is a false narrative (ie: the social ideology that you must be everything a man is and then more is a false narrative.) We are designed to be women. We are different than men. I am a woman, I am valuable, I am a helper to my husband, I am a daughter of the King and I will walk in that femininity with: purpose, strength, and dignity that is my own. I need not run over a man and prove myself to society or anyone else. I am going to walk in my blessing AS A WOMAN . Comparison between the sexes creates an atmosphere of: strife, envy, jealousy thus causing division, conflict and divorce which has worked well at tearing down the family structure. This cultural battle of the sexes has worked well to create the bondage and confusion we see around us today where more then 50% of households have broken homes, children growing up fatherless. While government (public) schools do their best to cause confusion among children -replacing the father in many cases- while one or both parents are busy treading the tide of ever changing demands in the work place to survive financially. As a woman of Yahweh (YHWH) . I AM ENOUGH Culture doesn't dictate my value. Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord---" II Corinthians 6:17 Ladies let us walk it out : surrender everything to Adonai, your King and Master Yeshua. It doesn't have to be this way. We can distinctly choose to walk in His ways. We can reclaim our femininity and choose to commit to decent courtship with the aim of marriage. Instead of casual dating with no end goals. We can choose to honor the YHWH given and inspired roles of men and women in marriage and family. We can choose to support our husbands in the role of : protector, and leader of the home. We can choose to come out from among them and walk as HIS people, set apart, and distinct from the mess of confusion and genderless society around us. We can choose to ensure that the next generation knows His ways, is raised in the home, educated by their parents, and knows the difference between godly and worldly. We are women. It is high time to turn the tide back to our: husband, home, and children. That will look different in each home, in each family. It is not one size fits all. That doesn't mean you cannot work. I work, I homeschool, I take online classes for medical coding as well to further my education and future job prospects. It is possible to work full-time, part-time, etc and still home educate your most valuable "mission field" (your children). You can still support a family structure where the government doesn't invade your life and dictate the roles of your household, and undermine your parental authority. It is possible to still maintain a family structure with my husband as the head of this house, I as his helpmeet, and our children flourishing under our guidance while maintaining a professional career. Likewise, you don't have to have a career at all if it does not suit you. YHWH is creative and for Him nothing is impossible. So, if you take your concerns to Him in prayer and genuinely seek His guidance. He will lead you, He will make a way. His ways are not what women need "liberation," from, contrary to what feminists claim. Liberation is needed from the American/western culture that the enemy has used to whisper lies to women.... Time for the liberation of women back to YHWH. For His ways are: just, and there is freedom in Him. Freedom from the expectations of a confused and demanding society that is never satisfied. It is beautiful on THIS side. It is whole. It is soothing, and there is rest for His people, in His ways and under His guidance. AMEN Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony does Messiah have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement does God’s Temple have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God—just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” 2 Cor 5: 16-18 TLV As we teach our children: We live in America; we are NOT OF America. We are Kingdom people, Hebrew, and our culture is HIS culture...Kingdom culture.

Phil 4:13 Hello again scattered friends and family in Messiah! Do you not know that to whatever you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to what you obey—whether to sin resulting in death, or to obedience resulting in righteousness? Rom 6:16 If I routinely follow my sinful nature (lawlessness) I am a slave to lawlessness. ( Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness—indeed, sin is lawlessness 1 JN 3:4) Conversely if I am obedient to YHWH I am His slave. But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life. Rom 6:22 So then... Where is your allegiance? *to lawlessness (sin) * to YHWH (keeping His commands/Torah) We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. For this is the LOVE of God—that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His COMMANDMENTS are NOT burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 TLV Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?” Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?” And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:25-28 TLV
Most of the western church is actually following man-made "holidays" and customs handed down by the pope/Catholic church with NO scripture to support such practices. People blindly follow due to tradition. But didn't Yeshua chastise the pharisees for doing the same thing!? Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying, “The Torah scholars and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses. So whatever they tell you, do and observe. But don’t do what they do; for what they say, they do not do. They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them. All their works they do to be noticed by men. They make their tefillin wide and their tzitziyot long. They love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called rabbi by men. Matt 23:2-7 What is the correction here? The pharisees tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and lay them on men's shoulders.. ie: they wear extra long tzittzit, all of their works they do to be noticed by men (in addition to the Torah) “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5: 17-19 Why did He fulfill the Torah? So He could be our sinless lamb. He had to walk in Torah completely so that the curse could be demolished *Messiah liberated us from Torah’s curse, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree* Gal4:13 The Scriptures show that Paul, an apostle personally trained by Yeshua, was still Torah observant some 25 years after his conversion, would that cause you to rethink the traditions of church fathers (men who did not write Scripture) who say the opposite? So we come down to this:
Remember YHWH set forth HOW He wants to be worshipped. He deems what is acceptable and unacceptable. Interestingly when the Israelites created the golden calf to worship do you know they said: Then they said, “This is your god, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” When Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. Then Aaron made a proclamation saying, >>“Tomorrow will be a feast to Adonai.”<< They rose up early the next morning, sacrificed burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to make merry. EX 34:5-6
Choosing how to worship according to traditions whether passed down via church or family does not make it "okay." How does YHWH tell us to worship Him? These are the appointed moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations—My moadim. Lev 23:2 Are you serving/worshipping?

Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! Well I have seen this issue circulating in social media and it is a grave misunderstanding. What is Biblically incorrect here? "When you die. God isn't going to ask you about someone else. He won’t ask you about the two men down the street who got married. He won’t ask you about the girl who had an abortion. He won’t ask you about the atheist that lives on the corner. He won’t ask you about the woman who feels more comfortable as a man. He WILL ask you how you loved those people as he called you to do. And some of you didn’t." The world cannot define "love" for believers. According to the world, "love is love." That is not Biblically factual. Nor is it something that set-apart, followers of Messiah can compromise on. 1) God is love. 1 JN 4:8 2) For Adonai loves those He reproves (disciplines), even as a father, the son in whom he delights Prov 3:12 Yah defines love, NOT mankind. This here is where western culture has went off the rails. Western culture aims to redefine everything as though humans are god. Western culture has fallen into a depraved form of idolatry. Western culture's idolatry problem is the worship of SELF, PRIDE, DESIRE, SEX, etc. to the point that the strict adherents to this "religion" of self are now infiltrating schools and aiming directly to lead children astray. This idolatry demands to be accepted by the idolaters. There is a whole month to celebrate the idolatry of "pride." Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds." MT 16:24-27
It boils down to the definition of "love" what the world calls love and what YHWH defines as love are not the same. He gives us direct instructions to "warn the people" to repent, and return to Him. This is love- being obedient 1st to YHWH. Commandment #1, Love Yah, and the 2nd is like it- loving your neighbor. Which includes obeying YHWH by: sharing the Gospel- sharing the truth loving your neighbor both spiritually and with physical provisions. YHWH'S love must be understood within the rest of what Scripture teaches about his divine attributes.
As set-apart believers in Messiah we must STAND FIRM and REFUSE to be moved. If necessary, re-arrange your life as much as you are able to withdraw your children from government indoctrination schools to either Christian school or homeschool. Before anyone complains about the inability to homeschool let me remind you: For nothing is impossible for God. - MT 19:26 This is how WE have been able to homeschool, only by Yah's answer to our prayers. It is high time to be pro-active in response to the outside culture and follow Messiah boldly. We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. For this is the LOVE of God—that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His COMMANDMENTS are NOT burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 TLV Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?” Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?” And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:25-28 TLV
Believers that belong to Messiah: " They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." John 17:16 TLV We, who belong to Messiah, must rise up above our culture in allegiance to our KING. We do not belong to this world or this country. "if indeed you have heard Him and were taught in Him, as the truth is in Yeshua. With respect to your former lifestyle, you are to lay aside the old self corrupted by its deceitful desires, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self—created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.< Ephesians 4:21-24 TLV FOR ADDITIONAL READING: Come out from among them in boldness : Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 #kingdomculture #AmbassadorofMessiah YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON FACEBOOK HERE! : (1) Pursuing the upward call | Facebook This is a public "personal blog" pg via Facebook to make it easier for readers to connect and share.

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! What a blessed Monday!! Getting ready for Passover and Unleavened Bread this wk!! This topic takes such a beautiful spotlight during Passover and ULB as we examine our homes to remove leaven (hametz) and more importantly our hearts and minds. But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of His Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:7 TLV ). To walk in the light means to walk in the Torah (Proverbs 6:23). Torah: meaning “teaching with direction,” i.e. the type of teaching which enables and empowers one with a direction to proceed. A second meaning is from the word “orah,” which means light. One example of this reflected in the verse which states, “For the mitzvah is a lamp, Torah a light” (Proverbs 6:23).*inspired by Torah4Today So the *mitzvah* ->commandment is a lamp, Torah a light. we are to walk IN IT ie: {Torah = light} "Torah a light" as He Himself is in the light...... we have fellowship with one another and the blood of His Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin This is living the process of sanctification "For the mitzvah is a lamp, Torah a light" Prov. 6:23 The Torah is the: rod, the light, the narrow path that leads us in the footsteps of the, Master Yeshua, and the blood of Yeshua, "purifies us from all sin." STRONGS: 38. hagiasmos Sanctification: the process of making or becoming holy, set apart, sanctification, holiness, consecration 2. use of the believer being progressively transformed by Adonai into His likeness The Torah, indeed, sets us apart, in covenant to Yah as His people. Set apart, from all other people, because we choose to obey/guard His commands, His Holy Moedim, and walk in His ways separate from the world. For this is the will of God—your sanctification- 1 Thess 4:3 TLV Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.”2 Cor 6;17-18 TLV
The over-arching teaching in the western/roman-ized church is that the Torah is done away with and keeping the commandments is legalistic. Which is just not Biblically sound theology. While keeping/guarding Torah and the moedim (set apart Holy/Feast days and Sabbath/Shabbat) is not going to save anyone.... it is a joy to be pleasing to Adonai and there is a blessed peace and rest that comes in doing those things that are pleasing to Him. It is not a struggle or hardship. It certainly is not bondage as most of the western church would have people confused into believing. Through belief in Yeshua, the Indwelling Set-apart Spirit gives the believer the "want to" and the "power to" be obedient. This is the "Good News" we are commanded to tell all people. (Eze. 36:25-27, Jer. 31:31-34, Rom. 7:18-8:4, Mark 16:15-16) Moreover I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Ruach within you. Then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will keep My rulings and do them. - Ezek 36:26 TLV A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be LIKE his teacher. Luke 6:40 TLV (ie: Yeshua who walked out Torah completely /perfectly) “For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again does a rotten tree produce good fruit. Each tree comes to be known by its own fruit. For figs are not gleaned out of briars; neither are bunches of grapes gathered from thorn bushes. Luke 6:43-44 TLV ▪︎ You know them by their fruit. What is the fruit? ACTION, CHOICES, OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. For this is the LOVE of God—that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His COMMANDMENTS are NOT burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 TLV “Why do you call Me ‘Master, Master’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and does them, I will show you what he is like. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood came, the torrent burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. “But the one who hears yet does not do is like a man who built a house upon land without a foundation. When the torrent burst against it, immediately it collapsed—and the destruction of that house was great!” Luke 6:46-49 TLV But He said, “Rather, blessed are those who HEAR the word of God and OBEY it.” Luke 11:28 TLV Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?” Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?” And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:25-28 TLV You see that a man is proved righteous by works and not by faith alone. James 2:24 TLV = "You will know them by their fruit" “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 14:15 TLV
