David and Saul – Lessons in Spiritual Warfare between the King of Light and the King of Darkness PART 1
The study of David and Saul is a true study of spiritual warfare. Spiritual Warfare is the exercise of wisdom, for wisdom terrifies the enemy. Learn how to use wisdom and know when to attack – Gideon’s army – ambush when the enemy sleeps (before he has a chance to work – defeat his agenda before it begins) David had…
The Responsibility of Royalty
In a world of mixture, people blurred to the difference between light and darkness, truth and deception, there is a remnant arising who have found the clarity of living as set-apart royalty unto the King, the Master Yahushua. Our battle cry is that we should proclaim the praises of Him Who is always good. In this message, Derek continues on…
Delivered for Freedom – Homeward Bound (Podcast)
On this 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, we remember to put feet to the deliverance Messiah has wrought.

Check out this brief video from Dr. Lake as he hits the nail on the head regarding our purpose in this life for those who call themselves “believers” in Messiah.

Faithful Father – Miracle Working Elohim
My heart is so touched this afternoon, by the words from the song ‘You Came’ by Jonathan David Helser– “You turned my fear into faith”. What a powerful expression of worship and spontaneous outbursts of praise and proclamation to the Master of all Masters. As I viewed this video, I broke in tears not only because of the faithfulness of my…
This Journey of Freedom—Turning My Fears into a Key
For all of us who have found our freedom in the Savior, Messiah Yahushua, we must understand that the greatest cost to us is in maintaining that freedom. This is the journey I am on, and others who have realized that gaining, maintaining, and sharing our freedom is a lifelong endurance test that will end no sooner than those words…
‘Lest We Forget’ – The Haggadah of Freedom – Passover 2017
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…
In Preparation of Passover – 2017

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…
Exhortation to Overcome
As believers in Messiah Yahushua, we are all called to overcome and to let our lights shine in the darkness. That means we stand out from the darkness. Kepha (Peter) became our example of how ‘not’ to share in the sufferings of the Light of Truth when he denied knowing the Master Yahushua three times. What a dear and precious…
What Do You Believe?
While talking to Father today, this ‘truth’ began to form within me… When truth comes, healing comes. When Messiah Yahushua showed up, healing came for people. But what is the primary purpose for healing? In Isaiah 53, what is healing in conjunction with? Salvation from our sins! So, yes, of course He wants His people well, but healings are mainly…
A Call For Unity—Returning to the Ancient Ways (Parts I and II)
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…
A Special Message of Preparation – Passover, 2016
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…

Prayer of the Captive – Song of the Freed
hank You for the sunrise this morning, Abba. It means that life is continuing. It means that I have another chance to make You smile today. As long as I have breath in me, I am not defeated. You have not abandoned me to the grave, thus I will not abandon others to the grave. Compassion and forgiveness, You have…
Celebrate the Creator – Celebrate Life!
Iyob (Job) was asked 60 questions by Yahuweh, to which he was only able to respond with, “You are Elohim and I am not! This is a video that calls all of Yahuweh’s creation to come and celebrate the life He created and gave to us to enjoy! Using clips from National Geographic’s, “Journey to the Edge of the Universe” and “The Miracle…
A Critical Word for the Freedom of His People
—This is a word I received yesterday evening, 9/1/2015— “The entire theme of the Renewed Covenant is dying to the flesh. If there is no dying to the flesh, we are no different than the world and our belief in Messiah is in vain.” After the initial being taken back by this word, I began to ponder on its meaning.…
The Light Shines in the Darkness
To be honest, we did not feel like going anywhere today. We have gone every Shabbat for 4 weeks because others have been out of town. However, we know that every time we go, we are the one that gets “ministered” to…our spirits leap and He gives us more energy and joy over sharing His Word than anything else. Plus,…
Song of the Buried
The grains of earth slowly surrounding me. One by one, they pile high, nearly covering my head. The light I see above is quickly fading, and the weight of it all is becoming more than I can bear. My own breath is crushing me. The darkness has set in now. The full blow of being covered over has engulfed my…
The Drilling Dream – A Warning to the Wise
This dream, accompanied by a warning message, is to ensure that the “truth” we love is not the deception the enemy wants us to believe. Whether we endure to the end or not depends upon our ability to keep our minds in line with His Word and our will submitted wholly to His. I share this with much humility, love,…
Light Shines in the Darkness
Shabbat thoughts recorded two weeks ago – “As I was praying for direction and His leading, the facing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel came to me. A wall insurmountable in front, sure death behind and the unknown of an endless wilderness on either side – yet going forward was His plan – going through what seemed…
Stand Tall – The Sun is Setting
“Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the esteem of Yahuweh has risen upon you. For look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples. But Yahuweh arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1,2) Yahuweh lifted David’s head because David’s head was bowed low in humility. When Yahuweh lifts the head, we can…
