Hello scattered family in Messiah! May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. In the slide show above are resources for Intercessory Prayer. Let's make June an annual intercessory prayer month! Any daily prayer is better than no prayer so do not be discouraged. If you would like to do 1 hour but it seems overwhelming break it up into four 15 minute sessions throughout the day. Use these tools to help you with scripture to pray and topics.
There are several, "churches in name" that are following the world, false shepherds etc. Praying over the church: for Ruach Ha-Kodesh revival, separation of the sheep and goats, loyalty to Yeshua Messiah, boldness, faithfulness, return to Guarding Torah, Covenant keeping, Shabbat keeping, separation from the world... etc are greatly needed. "Loved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal taking place among you to test you—as though something strange were happening to you. Instead, rejoice insofar as you share in the sufferings of Messiah, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be glad. If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are fortunate, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. For let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or evildoer or as a troublemaker. But if anyone suffers for following Messiah, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name. For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God. If judgment begins with us first, what will be the end for those who disobey the Good News of God? Now, “if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what shall become of the ungodly and the sinner?” So then, those who suffer according to God’s will—let them trust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good." 1 Peter 4:12-19 TLV The "pride flag" is only 6 colors, as an idol mockery of YHWH. Satan does not come up with anything new. He only twists what Yah already created that is "good" and manipulates it with confusion and deception into something that is NOT good. "What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." Eccl 1:9 TLV 7 is Yah's number of completion. Let us, as ambassadors in a foreign land, walk worthy in: repentance, boldness, faithfulness, and prayer, guarding the Torah and Covenant of Yah in our homes, and fellowship gatherings. "They stumble because they are disobeying the word—to this they were also appointed. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Once you were “not a people,” but now you are “God’s people.” You were shown “no mercy,” but now you have been shown “mercy.” Loved ones, I urge you as strangers and sojourners to keep away from the fleshly cravings that war against the soul. Keep your conduct honorable among the Gentiles. Then while they speak against you as evildoers, they may—from noticing your good deeds—glorify God in the day of visitation." 1 Pet 2:9-12 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and self-discipline. 2 Tim 1:6-7 ADDITONAL RESOURCES:

Hello scattered family in Messiah! May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. This journey is but a brief window into the fellowship intimacy to come... This priority of Yeshua's: solitude, withdrawal, and silence is visible in the gospels. Yah, brought these verses to my attention recently - One pattern we see consistently is that Yeshua often "went away" by Himself to pray or just to be alone. In Matthew 14 here we see He even, "sent the crowds away." > After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the hillside by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone- MT 14:23 TLV > Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying.- MK 1:35 TLV > But the news about Yeshua was spreading all the more, and many crowds were coming together to hear and to be healed of their diseases. Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray. - LK 5:15-16 TLV > After Yeshua left there, He went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountainside and was sitting there.- MT 15:29 TLV > But after His brothers went to the Feast, He also went, not openly but secretly.- JN 7:10
Many people miss or skim over the importance in these verses. Yeshua regularly MADE time to: slip away, leave, travel alone etc and have time in solitude. Every pastor/overseer, caregiver, volunteer, and disciple of Yeshua needs to learn from His example and walk as closely to it as possible in every area of life. Yeshua invites us to join Him in solitude so we, too, can know Abba Yah in an intimate and personal way with: set apart, unhurried time to relax in His presence, read His Word, pray and rest. Shabbat is wonderful for this! But Yeshua, was found often outside of Shabbat, doing this as well.
How beautiful.... "Be still and know that I am Yah" PS 46:10 I know in my own life a time of separation has come in different ways...The effects have been felt, lived, and heard: BUT Yah is moving: Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble! And make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame will not be pulled out of joint but rather be healed. Pursue shalom with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God; and see to it that no bitter root springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. Also see to it that there is no immoral or godless person—like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal. For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He found no chance for repentance, though he begged for it with tears. For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched, and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and storm, and to the blast of a shofar and a voice whose words made those who heard it beg that not another word be spoken to them. For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” So terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am quaking with fear.” >>>But you have come to Mount Zion—to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, a joyous gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are written in a scroll in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous ones made perfect, and to Yeshua, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse the One who is speaking! <<< For if they did not escape when they refused the One who was warning them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject the One who warns us from heaven. His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” Now this phrase, “Yet once more,” shows the removal of those things that are shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude—through this we may offer worship in a manner pleasing to God, with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:12-29 TLV SO I say again, "But let me be found walking in obedience to His Word; what He has spoken and revealed." If it is a journey to be traveled with few on this brief walk of life, so be it. On this journey: He may ask of me what He asks, command what He commands, and take what He takes, and bless as He blesses...but let me be found walking in obedience. We are to be led of the Ruach, and are accountable to YHWH alone, not opinions of men/women. Whether they like where He leads or not...whether they agree or not...whether they call names or not...whether they understand or not. It is irrelevant. The time is now.

Phil 4:13 Previous resources tackling a similar topic: Hello again scattered friends and family in Messiah Yeshua! Interesting subject. YHWH may not always share things publicly even when you are involved. We can dig into this with the scriptures below. In day to day life: YHWH may speak to one person and not another: YHWH giving Abram the promise of the promised land: Then Adonai said to Abram, “Get going out from your land, and from your relatives, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. My heart’s desire is to make you into a great nation, to bless you, to make your name great so that you may be a blessing. My desire is to bless those who bless you, but whoever curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. Gen 12:1-3
Gen 22:2-18 The binding of Isaac
Noah build an ark Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh is coming before Me, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Behold, I am about to bring ruin upon them along with the land. Make for yourself an ark- Gen 6:13-14
Moses told to go to Egypt Exodus chapters 3-4
Peter in Acts 5 Annanias and his wife: After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter responded to her, “Tell me if you sold the land for this much.” She said, “Yes, for that much.” Then Peter said to her, “How did you agree to test the Ruach Adonai? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door—they will carry you out, too!” Immediately she fell down at his feet and died. When the young men came back in, they found her dead and carried her out and buried her beside her husband. And great fear came over the whole community and all who heard these things.
John 21: 20-22 Peter, turning around, sees the disciple following. This was the one whom Yeshua loved, who also had reclined against Yeshua’s chest at the seder meal and said, “Master, who is the one who is betraying You?” Seeing him, Peter said to Yeshua, “Lord, what about him?” Yeshua said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
One of our greatest privileges is having access to the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit)!! Wow...if we stop and pause and think on that for a minute..... Guard the good that has been entrusted to you, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who dwells in us. 2 TIm. 1: 14 TLV He dwells in us....
Yah is good! HalleluYah If you are at a place where following Yah leaves you at odds with others because they do not understand the Word which has been given to you, which most, Torah (Whole Bible believers) have experienced....or because they do not believe what YHWH has spoken to you even though He has given you Biblical confirmations. Let them be. You are not accountable to them or for them. You are responsible for your own obedience. We are to be led of the Ruach, and are accountable to YHWH alone, not opinions of men/women.

Phil 4:13 {**For those in the Facebook group, this post was written and completed before the documentary, "Messiah 2030" was viewed**} Well hello again scattered friends and family in Messiah Yeshua! I have been rather quiet for numerous reasons.... some health reasons, some life reasons (van broke down, garage broke, dishwasher broke etc) Praises to YHWH!! He has provided in each and every hiccup mentioned and all are on the way to being repaired or are already repaired... Some of my quietness on the blog is because I am unsettled in spirit. Anyhow, this is not going to be doom and gloom because that's not my style. I am logical, detail oriented, and a planner...All believers that belong to Messiah should well know by this point that time is short. We do not know the "day or hour" but we can see the signs of the times loud and clear and Messiah told us to watch for certain signs and recognize them. I want to use this platform at this point in time to implore you to get your house in order both spiritually, and physically. That will look a little differently for each person/family depending on several factors, lifestyle, location etc. But some simple tips. 1) Come out from among them: the world AND "roman-rooted western" church deception and walk in obedience to His Torah/law, keeping His feasts, Shabbat and guarding His ways 2) Homeschool your children if at all possible...
(The Narrow Way Torah Observant Fellowship) 4) Do what you need to do to gradually become more self sufficient. Learn how to garden (We started a small family garden, we will be learning how to can, and are learning new skills as we go...) 5) Have a first aid kit, extra food and water, extra medications if you have a need for regular medicine 6) Whatever the world is focused on (sports, movies, political drama)-- you should not be. There is always a diversion. ALWAYS. Right here is where your focus and attention should live and breathe-->focusing on Yeshua, the initiator and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame; and He has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God. HEB 12:2 The Western churches follow "another gospel" NOT the one delivered to us by Yeshua Messiah and sadly many of them have become social clubs. Very little discipleship is occurring overall.... You can judge this quite simply by looking at the number of people who claim to follow Messiah and compare it to the values our society is embracing, the rate of divorce and fatherless households, cohabitation, etc. We have an urgent need for authentic DISCIPLESHIP.
I am passionate about this topic because I love Messiah and I am passionate about the growth of His people. IF you belong to Messiah YOU WILL PRODUCE FRUIT OF OBEDIENCE. "If you love Me, you will obey My commandments"- John 14:15 The time of coddling needs to stop. Stand up & take your position in the body and march to the beat of His commands. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist when the times are evil, and after you have done everything to sand firm. Stand firm then!" Ephes. 6:12-14 TLV Ezekiel 36:26-27 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 (Spirit) within you. >>>>then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will KEEP My rulings and DO them. <<<<<
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and is dried up. Such branches are picked up and thrown into the fire and burned. “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.” “Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love! If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.- John 15:1-10 TLV A few years ago I had a dream about the chaos to come... I have had 3 of them altogether. In addition Abba gives me a Bible verse every yr for that yr.... and it is always a prophetic word for that yr. sometimes it is personal, sometimes it is larger than me or us.... There is a pattern of urgency increasing. We can see plainly that Sodom and Gomorrah type behavior and the goals of the elite to create, "a mankind in their image, in their likeness" via AI. To merge AI with humanity via Neuralink...to recreate the womb via EctoLife.... etc. The elite are pushing for more and more control over humanity and limiting our freedoms. He has been ingathering His sheep back to: covenant keeping, bringing understanding to His people about the importance of Shabbat, Feast Days, guarding the commandments etc to remain in Covenant, producing the fruits of sanctification. He is coming...you can almost hear the Shofar announcement making way for the KING. Not yet....but He is coming, He is near. Be alert, have "oil" in your lamp, know the times, and keep Covenant. additonal resources 3 seperate links to discuss Home fellowship:1) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Biblical Feast Days 2) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Understanding the 1st & 2nd Covenant 3) Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 For more information on the 2nd / New Covenant in action in the life of the believer please click FAITH & WORKS ...:: Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 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.
