Hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! I hope you all are doing well. But whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God is truly made perfect. We know that we are in Him by this— whoever claims to abide in Him must walk just as He walked. 1 JN 2:5-6 TLV How did He walk? As the living example of Torah in the flesh. John 1:14 TLV And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. The easiest place to start is by incorporating the practice of keeping Shabbat. Observing Shabbat is where my family started as well, other reasons:
If you need to connect with a WHOLE BIBLE FELLOWSHIP near you: It’s easier to navigate this walk with community and fellowship. Chances are getting better that there’s one near you. Even if there’s not, it’s worth the drive! 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
Most of the western church is following man-made doctrine, "holidays," & 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!? “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. These are the appointed moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations—My moadim. Lev 23:2 His commandments are a blessing! This journey with Messiah is life changing and so refreshing! May your walk be blessed! 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! Believers: Pride is a popular word in our culture to the point that it is now celebrated and indulged with acceptance by the larger culture.
As believers in Messiah we are here on ASSIGNMENT as AMBASSADORS of a kingdom and on behalf of the KING : We are therefore {ambassadors} for Messiah, as though God were making His appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God. II Corinthians 5:20 TLV Ambassador, N:
^ you have been sent on a mission as an AMBASSADOR and representative of the Kingdom of YHWH to this world in the Name of Messiah Yeshua, carrying His authority. This world is not our home, this culture is not our culture. The kingdoms of this earth are not our kingdoms.... Be bold and stand firm.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin. JN 15:22 TLV 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 6:16-18 TLV Remember whom you are and to Whom you belong. You are an AMBASSADOR, a representative for the KING and kingdom. What does scripture say about PRIDE?
In these times of confusion with men clinging to idols in a vain attempt to "become as gods," they try to re-define everything to their own preferences. 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

Phil 4:13 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 TLV Hello scattered family in Messiah! May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. Let us be a people of prayer and intercession...for those celebrating sin/lawlessness this month, and for our country at large. Therefore, first of all I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people— for kings and all who are in authority—so we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and respectfulness. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior. He desires all men to be saved and come into the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:1-3 Intercession for June: Abba, we stand in the gap for those who do not know You and seek their deliverance. May they have an encounter with the gospel, with the fire of the Ruach ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit) that transforms them. May they be born again into new life, having repented of the old.... pour out conviction upon the land & people of rebellion. Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, those who practice homosexuality, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. That is what some of you were—but you were washed, you were made holy, you were set right in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the Ruach of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 TLV YHWH you are a God of deliverance and redemption! Thank You, that NOTHING is impossible for You (Phil 4:13) I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one repenting sinner than over the ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.” Luke 15:7 TLV May there be celebrations in heaven this month as captives are set free in the Name of Yeshua into repentance and new life! We give You honor and praise. ---that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11 TLV In the name of Yeshua, amen. 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:
