Abraham, a man of heaven's kingdom

This focuses us on Abraham whose gaze was fixed on the Heavenly City, whose builder and maker is God, and not on the temporal of this life.  The "value" of the eternal, the Kingdom of Elohim, is something to be highly prized,  esteemed and sought after above all else. We look at the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem, the Bride coming down out of Heaven and what that means, and our part in it or not.

We are raised up for such a time as this.

Yeshua is Israels awaited Messiah

2nd part

The joy of the world or the joy of your Father? Where do we find our joy, peace and delight in our lives? Is it in serving God, having a relationship with Him, building up His Kingdom and delighting in His community - the things that are eternal, and will never pass away? Or is it in the fleeting joys of life, the pursuit of happiness; jobs, friends, family, travel and hobbies - the things that are passing away along with the world? We must be conscious of where we find the true joy, perfect peace and contentment in our lives, and not to "love the world and the things of the world." All good things come from the Father, and we must seek His Kingdom first!

1st part

What does priesthood look like today? What did Peter mean when he called us, the believers, a 'royal priesthood'? A look at the priests of the Tabernacle of Moses and the priests of the Tabernacle of David, and how it applies to us today. The requirements, standards and expectations Y'Hovah has for His priests haven't changed. The latter half of the message focuses specifically on musicianship, and the responsibilities of a worship leader and musician. 

That I May Know Him

Trials and hardship can cause us to be filled with fear and panic. But it's those very things that give us greater strength, renewed faith and a bigger God. Suffering, tests and disciplines have the same objective in Father's economy: "That I may know Him."

Y'Hovah expects obedience; full commitment to Him and His kingdom. God requires true followers who prioritise His will over personal desires, emphasizing the importance of understanding and following the Torah. Those who truly know and follow God's word are essential in today's challenging world - compromise is not acceptable to Him.

Our purpose is to serve Yehovah's kingdom

His will for all of us is to server Yehovah's kingdom, in this we will fulfill his plans and purposes.  Living for the kingdom of God rather than oneself, understanding and following the rules of the kingdom based on Torah, being tested by God to strengthen our trust.

A talk around the seven moedim, or appointed times, God has made with everyone. Each of the seven feasts that Y'Hovah commanded us to keep has immense prophetic meaning - telling the story of God's plan for us, from the death of His Son Yeshua, to His second coming and Millennial Kingdom reign. 

Those who don't celebrate these feasts and don't know their meaning but instead celebrate the world's feasts, which was never commanded, miss out on God's message completely.

Water Baptism and the Kingdom of God

The importance of immersion into the Name of Y'Hovah, and how it is essential to our salvation and being accepted into the Kingdom of God. Baptism is not just a ritual, or a formula, or an 'outward expression of an inward faith' - it is much more than that, and we must be immersed with a full understanding of what it means and why Y'Hovah requires it of us. From the beginning, Moses and the Israelites were used as an example of immersion into Y'Hovah - walking on dry ground.

This message discusses the need for re-baptism in water according to the command of Yeshua our Saviour, and Paul the apostle.  We are told to be immersed not in, but "into" the Name that carries revelation of all the greatness of who our God is, and of the relationship we enter into by understanding the Person behind the Name that we are becoming one with.  True baptism is a coming out of the old doctrines, beliefs and  paganistic practices and traditions of man, into a new and living faith in Y'Hovah, who is the Father,  the Son and Ruach ha-Kodesh.

This is a message that explores something of the connection of the Name Y'Hovah with the Name of our Saviour Yehoshua or Yeshua.  Is there any connection and relevance?  The meaning of the Name Yeshua is "Y'Hovah saves" or "Y'Hovah is salvation"   Can you truly know the Father if you don't truly know the Son, His teachings, His walk and His connection with the Father?       Salvation or entrance into the Kingdom at Yeshua's return is dependent on it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NAME

His Name carries the information of who He is, His nature, character, personality, power, justice and eternalness. Everything He is is built into His Name.  Demons tremble at His Name and His Sons Name, but the vast majority don't even know His Name ed-alone fear His Name.  Disgracefully His Name has been hidden, ignored and blasphemed by religions and Christians and Churches for nearly two thousand years. His Name "I AM" foundations this message.

Repentance is a crucial part of our faith and journey - not once, but continually. Without it, we walk in rebellion and sin, refusing to be forgiven. Repentance involves changing one's mind and heart, turning away from sin, and walking towards God's kingdom. It is essential for accessing the blessings and benefits of the Good News and the kingdom of God. Yeshua preached repentance as a pathway to belief in the kingdom and accessing its wonders. It's a continual process, not a one-time event, to stay aligned with God's will and receive His blessings.

Part two of the of role and relevence of Shechem.  The importance of following God's guidance and choosing a life of blessing and not curses. Shechem is the valley of decision to walking the narrow path for blessings.

Your Day of Visitation

Christmas is once again upon us, let us reflect on Yeshua teachings and how he dealt with the same spirit or deception and false doctrines of His day.
