This message is a very personal message – one of care and affection and of love. When we love Elohim (God) with all of our heart, it is natural to never want to do anything that would bring His sweet name down to the dust and trample upon it. This would be taking His name in vain. Let’s explore Exodus…
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…
Over the past year, I found myself on a journey that I never expected. Hidden things brought to the light because of the goodness of a Father who sees the end from the beginning. Walking in the freedom of living in the light is a daily process—a daily decision. The hardest part of being free is not in that critical…
In this study surrounding Hebrews 12:15-16, the understanding is made clear that the root of bitterness is at the source of the hate of everything having to do with the family of Elohim. Those who harbor bitterness, such as Esau when attempting to repent but did not receive it, will cause destruction and division within the family, along with a spirit…
Listen as Derek expounds on the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians 13. Love is not a gushy feeling, with as many up’s and down’s as a wild rollercoaster. No! Love is the power of sustainment and all that will remain when everything else around us collapses. It is the identifying mark of our loyalty as a disciple of the Master,…
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…
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…
‘I am Yahuweh, and there is none else – there is no Elohim besides Me. I gird you, though you have not known Me, so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am Yahuweh, and there is none else, forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating…
Ever since the day that Sha’ul (Paul) came to visit us, one Shabbat afternoon, while living in Florida, I have felt so close to my brother in Messiah. I had been sharing some revelations that I received in the book of Galatians. I was sitting on the floor, passionately going through one of the chapters, and explaining what I had…
—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.…
This study investigates various issues many believers do not wish to discuss because they are either too shameful to mention or perhaps the issues are completely unknown to them. Some of the questions discussed are: Why do I still struggle with sin? Why do I still feel guilty though I have been forgiven of my sins? Can I lose my salvation?…
I received this during my quiet time with Abba on Shabbat (Saturday), December 13th… As I was praying and singing, all of a sudden, these words started coming into my spirit. I started writing and the next thing I knew, I had about eight pages in my small journal. These words are not from me because nothing in here contains…
Who cares about the prophets…right? I mean, what a strange bunch of people who were called to be the mouthpiece of a “God” who laid waste to entire villages, towns, cities, lands, nations, men, women, children, animals, and vegetation. Who were the ones of old who spoke the doom of an “angry God”, and suffered great persecution by those who…
“So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of Yahushua, by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the House of Elohim, let us draw near with a true heart in completeness of belief, having our hearts sprinkled from…
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…
About 6-8 months ago, I listened to a Chuck Girard song titled “Don’t Shoot the Wounded,” and although it’s one of my least favorite songs of his, I couldn’t get one line of the song out of my mind… “We can love them and forgive them when their sin does not exceed our own” (Click here to see all the…
Our daily walk with the Master should be a daily transition from self reliance to total dependence on Him. It’s pretty difficult to depend upon a concept isn’t it? What is the definition of concept you might ask? Lets check with the online version of the 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary. Concept: Yes, that is correct… it’s blank. For some reason,…
Shabbat Shalom! Today, December 21, 2013, is my 43rd birthday. Today, I have decided to begin a blog. I have always enjoyed writing and I believe it is time to expand upon what Yahuweh has placed in my heart. For now, this blog will remain basic with no flashy backgrounds, pictures, fonts and videos. For those of you that know…
