“Without the fiery furnace, we will never know if we passed the loyalty test” In Daniel 3, Nebuchadnezzar had set up an image that whoever did not fall down in obeisance to it at the sound of the music, they were to be immediately thrown into the furnace of fire. As the story goes, the three Hebrews refused to bow…
Faith – Volumes of libraries have been written about this one word. There are books, teachings, CD’s, DVD’s, YouTube videos, presentations and sermons on this one subject. Why is it so important, that even an entire movement that began in the 1960’s was called, “The Faith Movement”? I am no scholar. I am no great Bible teacher. I do not…
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…
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…
Note: The following is also included as an appendix to a much larger, in-depth study entitled, “The Abomination That Lays Waste”. I have included a link to this article at the end of this post. I recently woke in the middle of the night with the words, “I am the ever existing one who breathes”. Then the word ‘continual’ came…
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…
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…
In one of our miracle stories of our last 24 hours in the States (click here to read it), we shared how Derek had accidentally thrown away a $326 year supply of his prescription (we had the AAA card but no insurance…so the prescription was worth over $500). We did everything we could to locate the prescription—even had Derek’s sister…
We are sending out this blog to share with our readers, the new journey we are embarking upon. During our trip to Israel, we received three confirmations of where Abba is leading us next. Please click here to read our latest newsletter entitled, “A New Journey…”, if you did not receive it earlier today (those who are already signed up).…
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), the day of finalities, the summation of the 40 days of repentance, the completion of the 10 Days of Awe. What does it all mean? To the Orthodox Jews, it means fasting and repentance, spending the day in prayer and the synagogue, hoping their names are sealed in the Book of Life, and wishing others…
“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…
The time of Elul and the season of T’Shuvah (repentance) is here. Our desire is that you will use this ‘preparation time’ wisely, and cry out to Abba to place you on His examination table. We have entered the time of no return, no going back. If you have set your sights on the coming Kingdom of Messiah, you understand…
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,…
Through all of our transition, we had made a vow to Yahuweh to always tell of His goodness! Whenever He does something for us, we WILL shout it out to all who will listen. 24 hours before our move… The last miracle of our transition was about how Abba brought buyers for the last three big pieces of furniture, two…
Shalom, This is a letter in response to a comment/question received regarding why we promote Sons of Korah and other “Christian” artists. The letter acts as a springboard to address all Messianics who have certain “concerns” with Christians regarding their use (or lack of use) of the true Name(s) of the Creator. Click the link to download this letter: NOTE:…
I was looking out the window this morning while eating and I was talking to Yahuweh. I was expressing my desire to always “feel” His presence as the leaves of the trees feel His wind, and as the plants feel the rain when it comes down. I want to sense His presence as I did in the car on the…
How quickly we lose sight of what He has done for us. Have you ever felt as though He isn’t there – though you know He is? This transition has been a very difficult one. Though we saw many miracles in our “exodus”, I find myself lately, crying out, ‘where are you Abba?’ I mean how can I utter those…
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…
Is Yahuweh a dirty rag to be used whenever we need to clean up something in our lives? Is He nothing more than a band aid stuck in our back pocket to be pulled out when we get a boo boo? Where are the ones of Psalm 119 who cry out ‘Greater is your Torah than thousands of silver and…
The Blindness Lifts – The Root is Restored (Part I – The Present) Shabbat Shalom! Today, we would like to introduce to you a new, three part series, on the restoration of all things. Part II and III, are in the process of being written, however, Part I is ready and can be downloaded here: Note: You may also find…
Shabbat Shalom! I recently read something someone wrote who was very sad. I am close to this person and felt their hurt through their writings. To this person I write this blog today… Dear friend, Though you have no answers and feel like everything is out of control – He is your answer and He is in control. The best…
In preparation for the Passover season, I wanted to re-release this study article – ‘The Call to Unleavened Worship’. Worshipping Yah must be done in a fashion that is void of anything within us that causes ‘self’ to ‘rise’ and be puffed up. He is after unleavened lifestyles. Removing the ‘rising factor’ from our lives, through recognition that He is…
“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…
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…
November 17, 2013, was a very significant and moving day for me. I had brought with me Rivkah’s Siddur that I had purchased a few weeks before from the Moriah Bookstore in Jerusalem. 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…
Shalom and Erev Tov, As I was preparing to fix dinner, I was talking to my wife Rivkah about each other’s day and she had mentioned the fact that she wanted to write something on Psalm 119 in our blog. Yesterday morning, we read Psalm 119 together and just the presence of Father in that Psalm has lingered over into…
While spending some time in a mountain cabin earlier in 2013, I began studying the book of Hosea; accompanied by the article “How Could I Give You Up Ephraim” (Come, Enter the Mikvah.) From this study, I was launched into a detailed examination of one of the Ten Commandments. On page 7 of the article, near the top of the…
Shabbat Shalom, Chuck Girard’s song “The Days Are Young” from his album Voice of the Wind begins with “You have awakened me and now I rejoice in starting over…” This song plays over and over in my spirit throughout the day all the time! Today, I read in Acts how as Sha’ul (Paul) and Barnabah traveled, shared the ‘Good News’…
