Sukkot, or sometimes referred to as the Feast of Tabernacles, is the 7th and final festival of the feasts of Yahuweh. It is the time of entering into His rest with His family after the final disposition of His enemies. It is the most joyous time of the year. It is the time of the year of the ingathering of…
Chag Sameach! “He has not looked upon wickedness in Ya‛aqoḇ, nor has He seen trouble in Yisra’ĕl. יהוה his Elohim is with him, and the shout of a Sovereign is in him.” Numbers 23:21 It is with great joy and shouting that we get to announce to you that the new moon of the 7th month has been sighted in…

Shalom, I was moved to tears watching this video of two Israeli Jews, in Jerusalem, share the Gospel of our Beloved Yahushua. This is so exciting to me, and I hope it moves you to prayer for the salvation of all Israel! These two men certainly understand that Yahushua is not a religion! Check it out <HERE>
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…
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 for Passover 2017, Derek shares his thoughts and heart in response to an email from a dear brother. 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…
No matter how hopeless the situation may be, or how long you may have waited for a resurrection of what seems to be long dead–He came–Messiah Yahushua is never late. He sees your tears, and weeps with you. Hold on…the Resurrection and the Life is coming! Click <HERE> to listen Music “You Came (Lazarus)” From the album ‘Beautiful Surrender’ by…
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…
“Oh no, my master! What shall we do?” Oh…how much wasted time I have spent in asking this same question, just as the servant of Elisha did in 2 Kings 6 when he saw the armies surrounding the city. In compassionate response, Elisha said, “Fear not: those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” “Open his eyes,” the…
Listen, as Derek shares a special Yom Kippur Message (with intimate insights into 2 Corinthians 10), and calls to attention the subtle reasonings of the mind which so often challenge the authority and truth of the word of Elohim. If our flesh is submitted to what the Creator says is true, the enemy has no leverage to use our flesh against…
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. It is bitter/sweet because last month, the two witnesses were Yedidah and I. We rejoice, however, not because sunset tonight (September 2nd, 2016) begins a new creation calendar…
In this intimate podcast, on a rainy Shabbat morning, I share my hearts desire to become once again–perfected in the image of perfect love–the image of my Creator. Listen <HERE>
Join Derek at the foothills of Mount Gilboa, at Harod Spring, where Gideon’s 300 were handpicked by Yahuweh Himself. This is a clear sounding message of the shofar, to gather and prepare the people for the final battle soon to rage–a battle whom no man’s arm will be able to deliver…save the Master General Yahuweh!

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…
“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…
Join Derek and Rivkah, as they were recently asked to speak at a local, small church congregation in the country, about why every believer in Messiah Yahushua should be involved with, and praying for the peace of the apple of Yahuweh’s eye–Israel. This teaching lays the foundational truth for the understanding of why Israel has NOT been replaced by the…

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…
Shabbat Shalom, Rivkah and I have continued to receive more questioning regarding the “floating” aviv barley reports, that seem to be drifting into the “air space” of concerned believers. “Who’s report are we to believe?”, they ask. If we go by Isaiah 53:1–it is to whom Yahuweh reveals His “Barley Sheaf”, that will determine what report to believe. Recently, a…
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…
Shalom, and Happy Rosh Chodesh! At sunset this evening, begins the 13th month on the Hebrew Calendar. The barley was not found in the aviv stage throughout Israel–even in the warmer regions such as in the northern Negev. If the barley was not in the aviv stage in the warmer regions, then it stands to reason that it was not…
“And the men marvelled, saying, “What is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” Matthew 8:27 Boker Tov (Good Morning), I wanted to give a quick praise to Abba report. I was sitting in the living room this morning, thanking Abba for protecting us the other day, so I decided to tell about it here. He always…
“Choose life? Yes.. choosing life is sometimes the hardest thing we ever have to do because death is so easy to live under. Life is something fought for.. and His life is something He wants to give us if we only choose Him and follow after Him and His commandments. This is life and because of it, our earthly body…
‘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…
Hanukkah… What comes to your mind when you hear this word? Gift giving? Decorating? Candle lighting? A “Jewish” Christmas? — I hope not! What should come to mind is victory over the enemy. I won’t go into the entire story here of the victory of the Maccabees, as you can read about it in 1st and 2nd Maccabees. But what I…
As of late, my research for an upcoming study and book I’m writing has taken me in-depth into the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and its future fulfillment. I wanted to take time out for a moment to share a ‘side note’; if you can call it that. Throughout the depths of the Word of Elohim, the emphasis is placed…
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…
As I began seeking Abba a few weeks ago, I asked Him what I should share with the believers in Canada should I go up there. In seeking what was on His heart, (one prayer He always seems to answer for me), it is clear that Yahuweh’s passion is for His family, yet more importantly, unity within His family. However,…
“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 Hermon, that comes down on the mountains of Tsiyon (Zion). For there Yahuweh commanded the blessing, life…
Do you compromise in the name of peace? Does the verse in Romans 12:18, where it says “If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men,” mean that we are to compromise on Father’s standards or Messiah’s Words so we can live in peace with unbelievers or even other believers? Do not ask me…
“I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.” John 12:46 (ISR) “And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.” John 11:43 (KJV) Just the other day, I substituted for an 8th grade math class. It was during the 8th period…
As the hour draws near for Yom Kippur to begin, we wanted to express our thankfulness to all of you. As we enter into a day where we ask Abba to search every inch of our hearts for anything that might be displeasing and/or offending to Him, let us find rest in His forgiveness. I find particular joy in that,…

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…
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,…
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.

Last night, while taking Freedom our dog out for his last bathroom run for the night, both Rivkah and I were standing there as Freedom walked along the grassy area next to a fenced off pasture. The air was still and the faint hum of the freeway was off in the distance. Then, all of a sudden, I heard what…
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed-for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Master, beloved. I appeal to Euodia and I appeal to Suntuche to be of the same mind in the Master.

Today is Shavuot – the day we celebrate, according to Leviticus 23, the giving of the Torah and the giving of the Spirit of Yahuweh by Messiah Yahushua. We have been in transitional mode now for awhile, and know that our blogs have been few and far between. However, I wanted to share with you a quick word of thanksgiving…

The Good Shepherd is always with us and knows what is best for us. This message (blog) is a study on the seven assemblies of Revelation.…
“Lo, thou seekest revival. Thou doest well; only seek it not in the energy of the flesh.

Shabbat Shalom! As we prepare to enter the Passover week, we wanted to share (or should we say re-share) an article previously written about worship. Not only worship, but ‘unleavened’ worship. What is unleavened worship? It is the simple, pure worship that results from being de-contaminated of the leaven in our lives through allowing His oil, His wick, His flame to…

“Live one day at a time! Suffice it to keep thee occupied simply striving to bring joy to thy Father’s heart.” “Come Away My Beloved” by Frances J.
