The Journey of Two Kingdoms

January 9, 2021 - 8:22 am January 9, 2021

Shabbat Shalom! 1 Kings 10-12 outline the great divide of the House of Jacob into two kingdoms – Israel and Judah (the Northern and Southern kingdoms). Listen, as we dive into how fear gripped the heart of Jeroboam that would eventually lead Israel into abandoning the truth of Elohim’s ways. Is fear preventing the light of the truth of God’s…

May 14, 2018 - 8:21 am May 14, 2018

A short clip in remembering back 70 years ago… ““Shall I bring to birth, and not give delivery?” says יהוה. “Shall I who give delivery restrain birth?” said your Elohim.” ‭‭Yeshayah (Isaiah)‬ ‭66:9‬ This nation of promise, that was given in seed to Abraham so long ago, is ready for her Messiah to come again.

The Power Of Knowing Our Identity Through the Hand that Dislocates the Source of our Own Strength

August 12, 2017 - 12:47 pm August 12, 2017

A message to all who desire to shut the back door of our lives to the enemy, and who are tired of being stabbed in the back because we have allowed him access to do so. This is a Spirit driven revelation of knowing who we are in Messiah, by the goodness of changing our identity through His precious blood.…

Shalom, Rivkah and I would like to pass along a short video for you to view concerning the critical stage we have reached here in the United States.

The New Moon of Tishrei Sighted! Chag Sameach!

September 2, 2016 - 1:40 pm September 2, 2016

Joy and Shalom! Greetings in the wondrous name of Yahuweh and our Master Yahushua–Our soon coming Messiah! We just received report of the new moon being sighted in Jerusalem by two witnesses.

The Valley of Elah

August 9, 2016 - 1:01 am August 9, 2016

View this short visit to the Valley of Elah, where David took down Goliath. Just as it was then, with the wicked defying the Elohim of the set-apart ones, so it is today, in a very similar showdown–yet a showdown of a much greater scope. The battle in the Valley of Elah is a shadow picture of the final elimination of the wicked, as they will all soon gather in the greatest battlefield of all time–the Jezreel Valley.

July 25, 2016 - 10:44 am July 25, 2016

“Then began He to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It…

Please, Dwell Together in Unity

June 25, 2015 - 8:02 am June 25, 2015

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity –Like the precious oil on the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aharon, Running down on the collar of his robes –Like the dew of Ḥermon, That comes down on the mountains of Tsiyon.

Jerusalem – My Chief Joy

Boker Tov (Good Morning), Last night, as we sat and watched the video from Steven ben-DeNun, who reported on the recent United States Supreme Court decision of refusing to recognize Jerusalem as a part of Israel, we sat and wept in our spirit.

We Will Not Be Moved

November 22, 2014 - 2:42 pm November 22, 2014

This Shabbat morning, as I sat rocking back and forth on my couch, holding firmly in my hand the tzitzit of the tallit I was under, tears flowed as I recalled the images in my mind of one of the Rabbi’s blood soaked tzitzit from the horrific attack in the Har Nof Synagogue in Jerusalem on November 18th. Who could…

Consistency of Actions

September 6, 2014 - 8:32 am September 6, 2014

Boker Tov, Shabbat Shalom, Early this morning, I woke up with three words, “consistency of actions”. One of my favorite songs is by Chuck Girard, “Here I Am”. It is a song that describes the faithfulness of Father. It begins with: Here I am, down on my knees, Outside the sun is rising I’m moved by the voice of the…

A Long Journey…

July 15, 2014 - 1:09 pm July 15, 2014

It has been awhile since we have written. We made a promise to Yahuweh before we moved…to record all the miracles He did along the way and to give HIM all the kavod (glory). It has taken us some time to get settled here…not that we are completely settled yet! And it has not been a smooth road, BUT Abba…

Stand Tall – The Sun is Setting

March 14, 2014 - 3:57 pm April 1, 2014

“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…

A Day of Remembering

March 12, 2014 - 7:27 am April 1, 2014

Today marks two very important events. It is a day of celebrating and a day of sorrow. This morning as I sat and drank my coffee in the early morning hours before the sun rose, I remembered my Grandparents anniversary (March 12, 1938). 76 Years ago today, my Grandparents tied the knot and I’m sure they are celebrating it today.…

The Living Water

March 1, 2014 - 12:14 pm April 1, 2014

Have you ever heard the saying, “You only really need 2% of what you own?” This statement is so true! We fill our lives with things we really don’t need. The other day, this saying came to my mind and I immediately received in my spirit this statement… Just like we only really need 2% ofthe stuff we own, when we…

I had wanted to come back to Jerusalem one more time before returning to the States. My most favorite place on earth is sitting in the City…

December 30, 2013 - 2:20 pm March 24, 2014

The day came for me to leave for my third trip to Israel. The decision to travel to the Land had come very quickly due to multiple reasons. Somehow I knew I was to return at this particular time – the time between the grape harvest and olive harvest. I knew I needed to be in Israel on site for…
