Ralph Messer is my Rabbi. What of it?

I am so sick of seeing these numb skulls post hateful speech in their ignorance against the man who insprired me and so many others to love Hashem more and to study to do the Torah. How can you claim to be Christian and not be anything like Christ? Christian means like Christ Jesus To do everything different and to claim allegiance to Jesus is insanity. I will challenge all those who claim to be Christian head to head. Not typing and wasting time typing texts so as to waste everyone's time. but rather to dialogue as to or more educated and capable individuals in the art and practice of communication. If you think that Rabbi Ralph Messer did something wrong by wrapping Bishop Eddie Long int he torah Scroll that already wrapped and clothed him you have a different Jesus than the one in the Bible. If the sins of man can defile that which is holy you have an inadequate Jesus. I am a proud disciple of the Deliverer who uses Rabbi Ralph Messer to do miracles and to heal those who were robbed by the religous system of church. If you think that Eddie Long's sins can defile the Torah than what about your sins? There may be no hope for all of humanity if you are given the reigns. I hope and pray that all will see that Yeshua says in the Scriptures that He will never leave not forsake. Calm down Cujo! God never appointed your religious

spirit to any role of authority.

The Kingdom is Here!

The Kingdom of God...
What does it look like?
Jesus Yeshua lives in us, He lives in our heart.
There is a dichotomy between the Hebrew and the Greek that must be outlined and brought to light.
Even during the times of Yeshua the Pharisees and the Saducees were steeped in Greco-Roman influence.
Alexander the Great had already influence the world with the Greek Hellenism and pagan influences.
The High Priests were corrupted by the influence of business as in Greek; Buying and Selling.
There were money changers and vendors in the courts of the Temple.
They were selling ways to get your salvation via; pigeons, doves, goats, sheep, etc. I'll bet it had the feel of a flea market rather than a Holy Place of YHWH.
Today we have 'seeker friendly' churches willing to sell you anything that you might be comfortable.
The mainstream churches are accepting Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and Bi-sexual priests and teachers.
The School systems of America have been infiltrated with leftist ideals and the majority of the female coaches at our schools are of an "alternative" lifestyle. Now don't get me wrong! I love the person, but I hate the act that lead them to that decision.
In fact it is the gradula deterioration of the family that lead to the many hurts that eventually created a hatred and distrust of men. Men have abandoned their posts as porviders, protectors and visionaries because we have been seduced by the loins to seek visions of fantasy and abhorrent behavior leading to the Destroyer entering into the homes of our children only to destroy their trust and their self esteem.
We have sold out the vision of YHWH which is clearly stated in the Torah of God for a counterfeit vision.
The Teachers Associations were fighting years ago the censorship of school computers as "it hinders the child's ability to think freely'. Well see what all this free thinking has gotten us?
We now have sixth, seventh and eighth graders having babies, girl on girl in the bathrooms, and boys dressing in their sisters clothes because its 'hip'.
When will a nation wake up lest it come to ruin?
Every so-called great nation in the past that thumbed its nose at God has come to demise.
This people who call themselves by My Name is rebellious people, arrogantly standing before me claiming to know me and demanding a blessing, yet they know me not. they reject my Teaching and Instruction, they reject my commands to observe my appointments, eat correctly and to set themselves apart for me. Instead they blend and assimilate looking no different than the beasts of the field. Yet they say, "Didn't I do great things, heal the sick, give to charity, pray to various gods????"
For the LORD our God is Yeshua/Jesus who came and dwelt amongst us and today dwells within us. He loves with an everlasting love and forgives a multitude of transgressions and all of our iniquities. The shame is that our transgression far outnumber our iniquities.
Yeshua said that the Kingdom of God/Heaven was Near/ Korba. That means its now, at hand, in your face and you still demand a sign.
Rabbi Yeshua tells us in the Word that the Heavens are the LORD's and thte earth He has given to the Children of God. Psalms 115 14-16
that the Lord has placed His Word above all His Name. Psalm 138:1-2
Yet the religious system has taught us to steer clear of God's Teaching and Instruction because it will cause you to sin and to just say the Name of Jesus ad infinitum as though it is some kind of magic name.
Again, the Word/ Torah of YHWH and YEshua is above the 'name' of God.
Infact if we adhere to the Word/teaching and Instruction by our walk, it will yield a greater harvest than just the Name or even the outward appearance that we are somehow holy people.
I wear Tzitzits and a kippah but that isn't what sets me apart. It is my walk and relationship and familiarity with Yeshua that strengthens me and girds me up.
That I live in His Kingdom and that His kingdom is established in me today, regardless of my surroundings is the truth that strengthen me to be the man that Yeshua made me to be and not to become the subject that Satan's kingdom demands that I become; a loser, a loner, a drunk or a broken hearted person the rest of my life.
I am brand new every day! That sun came up as a sign that He is the Greater Light over the day and I will find encouragement from His warmth and light and 'charge' myself up during the day so that I can be a lesser light in the darkness. I will carry the torch of the Kingdom for His Name's Sake!
I will bear the load as it is no burden at all. The burden is not having purpose in His Kingdom. Now that's a burden; not knowing your purpose and fearing that you will not have victory.
Fear is the absence of instruction. People of all ages practice and study martial arts, self defense with the hopes of becoming so fluid in their movements that they need not ponder the next move but rather they put to use the instructions of their Master Teacher. We too, should strive to become so familiar with the Character and Instructions of our Maker, Master and Messiah so as to FUNCTION in the Kingdom.
Yeshua is the King of kings and the LORD of lords. We must embrace that He placed you here on earth to be a leader and  to Rule and Reign for His Kingdom's Sake.
Why are we seeking a sign that He is coming back yet we claim we have Him in our hearts.
Is He back our not?
Today, Commit your heart, life and your mind to the mind of Yeshua, to the mind of Salvation, to the mind of Redemption and to the mind of Deliverance.
You are Delivered and Saved by the Awesome Love of our God and our Lord. His name is Yeshua Ha Moshiach/ Jesus the Messiah and He made you for greatness! Now stand up, walk in it and most of all, Thank Him!

 

Jesus lives in you, He is your only influence, Your only Hope

If your blood is still pumping then he has forgiven you and wants you to live!

so Live, Love and Laugh but most importantly

rebuild that marriage between you and your Redeemer.

Restore the Family and the Marriage Institution as it directly reflects the 

relationship between Yeshua our Creator and His Bride.

The Second Coming/ Rebuilding the Temple

Dear Family/ “Mishpacha”

The time is coming for the Return of the LORD!
This weeks parshat speeks of going out from your current place where God meets you and sojourning to the place that God will show you. That place is named Beit El also call Luz.
Now bear with me.
Genesis states in 28:15 And, Hinnei, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this eretz; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of.
28:16 And Ya'akov awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely YHWH (יהוה) is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
Where does God meet you? In your heart. Where is this Place also called in Hebrew ‘Ha Makom” that Jesus/Yeshua lives today?
So you are the Beit-El the House of YHWH the place if you will that Jesus lives today.
We are to be a light to the world, hence the other name given to Beit-El which is Luz (in Ladino that means Light).
Are you getting this? Wow! I just love the Word of God.
Yeshua/Jesus and God are the same as One/ Echad. Though they differ only in that Jesus is clothed in the flesh and God is thought not to be. However the Scripture state that “I am with thee- I will never leave thee- also we see God states He will never forsake us” in the book of Joshua. So if He is in us that would make sense that He never leaves us and that He is with us where ever we may go. The third temple is being built in you and in me. We are the temple of the Living God, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Yakov. There are many who seek to build a physical temple in Jerusalem but what good would that do if our hearts are still not right with Yeshua?


We see what happened when those who rebel against the ways of God build temples and great cities; they always come to ruin.

I pray that you can see in the Spirit of God that we are to leave the place where you met God and go with God to the place He is calling you. Yeshua did not come outside the walls of Jerusalem, give His life only to leave you outside the walls but rather, to come outside the gates of the city and offer Himself so that we who were outside could come into the city of peace; Jerusalem. And I might add that we become the new city of Peace; the new Jerusalem.
In other words leave the adolescent stage of sppirituality and mature in the Scriptures to the vibrant bride of Christ that He has waited patiently for, for over 6000 yrs.
We are in the 7th day as it were. The Groom is coming for His Bride. Be cleansed in the Spirit of Redemption given to us by Yeshua and anoint yourself in the oil of gladness and the Holy Spirit of God, found only in His attributes, character, precepts and statutes; those found in the Torah/Bible of God. From Genesis to Revelation is all His Word.
You are the Bride-
You are the Place-
You are the House of God/ Beit El
You are the Luz/ the light
Jesus lives through us-
God-Jesus-Holy Spirit
YHWH-Yeshua-Ruach HoChodesh
They are Echad- One; Deuteronomy 6
If so, then the Holy Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one in the same. Amen?
So, does the Holy Spirit live in you? If so… guess what? That means that Jesus has already returned and He’s in you! Would you let that happen?
Some may think that I am taking away the 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus but I am not. I believe that if you and I would be the physical manifestation of his life then and only then will we see the spiritual manifestation of a spiritual revival in the land.
If you can’t see yourself in the picture, or you can’t see Jesus in your brothers and sisters, then we may never see the “2nd coming” of Jesus.
Make straight the way of the LORD.
Jacob left the place he wrestled, received his blessing and pursued the place of God.
Won’t you pursue that place with us? I see Him in you.
You are blessed and highly favored.
Read with me Genesis; 28:20 And Ya'akov vowed a vow, saying, If Elohim (אלהים) will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
28:21 So that I come again to my avi's house in peace; then shall YHWH (יהוה) be my Elohim (אלהים):
28:22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be Elohim (אלהים)'s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Ya’akov/Jacob says to himself if Elohim be with me,,, and will keep me in this way that I go and provide Manna/ Word of God and clothing/ His righteousness through Jesus/Yeshua, Then I can come to the Father’s House/ My living body in Peace.
And this stone/altar; you that I set up as a pillar/marker for direction; Yeshua in me shall be the house of Elohim. And I shall give back to God a tenth of all that He provides for me.
Do you think that maybe the Tenth could also elude to the bringing back to God the Lost Ten Tribes in gratitude for what He gives us?
You’re it! He loves you!
He Live in You! And You can do great things for the King of kings. He has written it upon your hearts and upon your minds. His Torah; His words are stored in earthen vessels and like the Qumran scrolls we have been tucked away in the wilderness for 2000 yrs. Our vessels are shattered in order to reveal the treasure inside each and every one of us. Don’t fear the potter. He can restore all His works.
He has put His Spirit in you and will move you to desire to know His ways and not the ways of this world.
When the writing on the Torah scroll becomes illegible the torahs are buried in earthen vessels, awaiting the resurrection when that which has been dead for 3 ½ days/3500 years will be resurrected; brought back to life and the writing will be made easy to read.
Peace be upon you.

Shalom Mishpacha!
Peace my family
Lehitra’ot haShabbat!
See you on the Sabbath!
Rabbi/Teacher Donald and Annette Maher

Restoring the fabric of the family through the principles of Jesus’ Word; Yeshua’s Torah.

Between a Rock and a hard place.

Weve all heard the saying. "I feel like I am between a Rock and a Hard Place."
This Shabbat we were talking about attitude.
It is said that it is the only thing in life that you 'can' control.
I put 'can' in parenthesis because it seems that we can't. However we can and should control our attitudes. It is also said that between Mt. Gerazim and Mt. Ebal is the sity of Shechem. That city is the city of refuge. A shelter for those accused of a crime but found not guilty by the high priest. That city is to be a refuge for the sojorner, the traveler who seeks shelter.
That city is to be us.
The Mount of Gerazim is the mountain of 'cursing' and the Mount of Ebal is the mount of blessing. We all sit in between blessings and curses. But the attitude we choose is ours and ours alone.
Let's look at blessings and cursings. To receive the father's blessings is to insure success in our children. To receive the Father's blessing is to insure the success of mankind.
Contrary to receiving the blessing is to NOT receive the blessing. Now, to be without a blessing is to be cursed. The absense of the blessing is a curse. It is not to reconed the same as a voodoo curse. After all, the MaTovu reminds us that no one man or spirit can curse the Israelite. Baalam was a false prophet who sought to curse the Israelites in exchange for monetary gain. Sure at first he refused, but the end result is that he compromised and agreed to go out, travel 400 miles just to see and curse the Israelites. He met his end; an early death most likely because of his alliance with the wicked. Although The LORD our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Ya'akov caused only good word to come from his mouth, his life was directed erroneously.
We too, can direct our lives erroneously and meet with an early death. That death we meet up with can be a physical death and or it could and most certainly end in a spiritual death. Your relationship with the Almighty One of Israel is all that gives life. Anything other than YHWH/Yeshua yeilds death.
How you see your life is exactly all you will receive.
In the Torah, God is listening to the grumblers and complainers in the wilderness. They began their nagging the minute they were outside the gates of Egypt. Adonai says to them, "You saw the mighty miracles I performed in Egypt. you saw the Red Sea split and you crossed on dry ground. You saw the manna on the ground that fell from Heaven and it sustained you. You saw the quail, knee deep and you ate. You saw water spring forth from a desert and split the rock. You drank and your thirst was quenched. And yet you grumble, saying, "We are all going to die in the desert."
"Very well" the LORD says, "It shall be as you say."

Did you hear that?
It shall be as you say!
In Genesis/Bereshiet, we see that at the building of the Tower of Babyl, God says, "If one people speaking one language can accomplish this (great feat), than nothing is impossible for them. Let us go and confuse their language."
Take that instance and turn it around. Instead of trying to reach the Heavens on our own merit or accomplishment. If we could speak one language; that of the Torah; adhering to the ways of Adonai our LORD, There would be no reason that He/ God would not allow our endeavors to succeed. The folly is that we have not done this for some time now.
The World is caught up into religion. Yeshua/Jesus didn't come to start a new religion or to prove that one was the real one and the others were wrong. He came to overthrow religion (the law) but not to do away with the (LAW)of the Torah.
The Law of the Torah and the laws of man are two totally different things.
If we adhere to God's teaching and instructions we will see the kingdom of Heaven here on earth just as it is in Heaven. That it the goal.
True we may never see the perfection here on earth but rather that we shoudl try to accomplish this/His order here on earth shows the beasts of the field and all the universe that we are the children of God/Elohim. We are not microcosims of the world but rather we are created to have dominion over the earth and to rule it in a way like the creator would.
Speaking the same language; that of Adonai and of the Covenant/ our Torah is the fastest way to build a tower to the Heavens. It doesnt require a physical tower, but rather we are the physical strong tower of refuge.
So how you see your life and how you see this day is entirely up to you. No human can manipulate your emotions unless you allow them into your chambers to defile you.
Who's been defiling your thoughts?
You need to speak out against your own actions and not believe that you are helpless to the attacks.
No one is big enough to take what is God's and snatch it out of His hand.
you are the one who keeps letting the dragon out of the abyss. You keep entertaining spirits that are not of God. You and only you can make that choice.
You are created to be a Priest and King in the kingdom for your God. You have the power to call down the angels to do your warfare. Don't get caught up in trying to battle demons, you're not even supposed to be talking to them. That's called entertaining spirits; divination.
You are the bride of Yeshua your LORD and salvation, No man or spirit has the right or the ability to speak to the Bride of Yeshua unless she is out of order. Man or woman we are all the Bride.
We have all gone astray. However we have all been forgiven; Jeremiah 31:34 and Hebrew 8:12, both state I will remember your sins no more.
You are blessed of God, You are the apple of His eye. No weapon formed or raised against you can prosper. All the diseases we saw in Egypt will not fall upon me or my children's children. They will ask, "Why does this son not bear the weight of the sins of his fathers?" and I shall answer because I live in the righteous deliverances, deeds, statutes and judgements of the KING of kings and the LORD of lords, He is my Salvation, He is my Yeshuit Elohim. Isaiah 12:1-3
If you have questions about our Messiah Yeshua, call us and we would be glad to try to answer questions you may have.
Will you choose the Rock of our salvation or the hard place?
The choice has always been ours.
Have you talked to your Creator, Greatest Lover and Salvation?
This would be a great time to do just that.
Use your own words. He likes it that way.



Shalom Mishpacha
Peace my family,
Rabbi Donald Maher Jr.

LaShana Tova! May your names be inscribed in the Book of Life! a short message regarding Rosh Hashana. Do you know thaqt Rosh Hashana is the time at which the Great and Mighty Trumpet of Elohim will be and was heard? Did you know that in a Hebrew wedding ceremony it is customary for the best man to blow the shofar/trumpet alerting the bride that the groom is coming for his bride/prize? Did you know that the ten days separating Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur/ Day of Atonement are related to the alerting of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel? Yeshua/Jesus said, "I come only for the Lost Sheep of Israel." That my friend is the Lost Ten Tribes; also know as the tribe of Y'srael/Israel, Ephraim, lost sheep, the donkey in the wilderness, and the scape goat as well as the resurrection of the dead. Did you know that the shofar/ rams horn is representative of your life? Our life, is twisted and beat up, it has scars and wounds. Before polishing their is little worthy of mention. However, if we allow the horn; You and I to be separated from the body; the world and we allow the stoney, boney part within to be circumcised and removed out of the shell, then and only then can we blow the breathe through the vessel and it becomes a musical instrument. You see, our stoney hearts is what keeps the Ruach HaChodesh from operating in our lives. Many people in the 'body of Christ' claim to have removed the stoney part and now they cling unto essoteric experiencial manifestations of what they percieve to be the 'holy spirit'. I know that the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob is the God of the Bible. He is also the very Jesus/Yeshua that clothed Himself in flesh and dwelled amongst us. we will never see a shadow from his turning and He will never change His mind. Therefore that same Spirit of Elohim, the Holy Spirit is not a part time Holy Spirit. When we allow the Spirit of God to remove that which is stoney to be cut out by the Ruach/Spirit of G-d then and only then can the True Spirit of God can blow His words through us causing a melodious tune to resonate throughout the heavens and the earth. Imagine if you can all mankind falling in love with the Creator God; Yeshua HaMoshiach/Jesus the Messiah. So much and so strong is their love that they really do love Him with all their heart, soul and strength. That men stand on the street corners talking about the parsha from last week, this week and the next. That men would be men of Tzadekah/Righteousness seeking to emulate the Risen King. That women could walk to the store or to a freind's house or drive late at night when necessary and no harm would come to her because every man our there is walking like Yeshua in righteousness. Every man would defend the innocence of the widow, the orphan and the woman who is alone. Since the most recent time of the 1600's we have been sold a bill of goods; that the Law was done away with and that the Messiah came to do away with it. That he succeeded "nailing the Torah/Law to the Cross" at Calvary. That is shear nonsense. Matthew 5:17-19 states clearly that He didn't come to abolish the law but rather to fulfill it/ make it complete and alive, full, and desirable. The shofars are us. We must ask the Lord Yeshua/ Jesus to cut out our hearts of stone and give us the heart of flesh. The Word says that He would put His Spirit in us and cause us to desire to know His ways. If that is so, then we will soon be seeing the greatest movement and revival of all mankind moving back to the writings and teachings of Jesus Christ. Let's Let the trumpets blow and speak and talk of the promises fo the Covenant called the Torah. remember that the New Testament is the commentary on the Torah. It is the Biography of Jesus the messiah. However the Torah is the Eternal covenant written of His arrival, His Lifestyle and His people. That's you! Let the Shofars blow and we shall all hear the Great and mighty Trumpet of the LORD. He has already come. Look in the Mirror. What are you waiting for?

Rosh Hashanah the Biblical New Years – Commonly known as the Jewish New Year. In Biblical times, the dates of festivals were determined by a lunar calendar. Hebrew months begin with the sighting of the new moon. Because Rosh Hashanah starts on the first of Tishri – the only holiday that falls on the first day of the month – not all Jewish communities could be alerted in time. Even residents in Jerusalem could miss the start of Rosh Hashanah if clouds covered the night sky or witnesses arrived too late. That's why the one-day celebration was extended a second day to give all Jews a chance to participate. Rosh Hashanah usually falls between mid-September to early October. According to Jewish tradition, the destiny of mankind is recorded by God in the Book of Life on Rosh Hashanah. Those who repent of sins are granted a happy and good year. God seals judgment 10 days later on Yom Kippur. Prophetically, the holiday – also referred to as the Feast of Trumpets – points to the catching away of Yeshua's bride. The apostle Paul seems to be imparting this revelation to the church at Corinth: "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." When Yeshua says in Matthew 24:36 that no one knows the day or hour of His return, it is a signal to believers that His return will fall on Rosh Hashanah. It is the only Biblical feast with an undetermined start time because of the new-moon sighting. “Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your Word; Law; Torah” (Psalm 119:37, NIV) "And he (King Of Babylon-representing an Anti-Torah spirit) will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times (Feast Days) and in law(Torah); and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time." (as in 1000, 2000 and a half a thousand= 3500yrs.) Daniel 7:25 (NASB) "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the Trumpet Of God. And the dead in Messiah will rise first" 1Thessalonians 4:16 Ok so let’s look at the calendar. WWJD? Jesus/Yeshua is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever! Right? In the book of John we read that ‘in the beginning’ was the D’var/Word and the D’var was with God and the D’var was God. The Word is Yeshua/ Jesus. It goes on to say that this D’var Word who is God dwelled among us and we beheld His Glory… Interesting, Huh? If Jesus is LORD of all, then it was Jesus/Yeshua who gave Moshe the Torah on Mt. Sinai. And if this is correct then we must conclude that He/Yeshua being God will never cast a shadow from his turning. That is to say that Jesus doesn’t change his mind. God is not a man that He should lie. His commands were given to us the children of Israel (Romans 11) as a sign of His love for us. In the last days there will be many lying signs and wonders, so great that if it were possible, even the elect (the remnant) would be deceived. Acts 17:11 The feast days are also intimate revelations of His will for us to come to the Bridal chambers and of His coming. If you won’t show up for His feast days, how do you expect to meet Him in the Heavens? Ezekiel 44 states, “23 "'They (the Children of God) are to teach my people the difference between holy and common and enable them to distinguish between clean and unclean. 24 They are to be judges in controversies, and they are to render decisions in keeping with my rulings. At all my designated festivals they are to keep my laws and regulations, and they are to keep my shabbats holy. This is what we are supposed to do. On the contrary look at what Ezekiel describes is happening in Chapter 22: 25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in it like a roaring lion tearing up the prey; they have devoured people, seized wealth and valuables, and widowed many in it. 26 Her cohanim have done violence to my Torah, profaned my holy things, made no difference between the holy and the common, not distinguished between unclean and clean, hidden their eyes from my shabbats, and profaned me among themselves. We have been foreigners to the Torah of God. It is a Love Covenant between God and his people. Jesus states in Matthew 5:17-19; ‘Do not think that I came to do away with the Torah or the Prophets. Rather I came to (cause them to come to life) fulfill them. Not one stroke of the pen (caph) or the smallest letter (yod) will disappear from the Torah until all heaven and earth pass away. Verily I say unto you whosoever breaks the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be least in the kingdom of Heaven, but whosoever keeps my commands (i.e. Feast Days) and teaches others to do so will be great in the Kingdom to Come/ Heaven (Malchut Shamayim)!!!! Rosh Hashana- the festival of Trumpets is the call to prepare yourself for the judgement/deliverance of the King. It is the Betrothal phase and the ‘elope’ so to speak. It represents when the Bride groom would come to escort His bride to the place that He has prepared for her. (“I go away to prepare a place for you, so that when I return, where I am you may also be”). 10 days after Rosh Hashanah is the Wedding Phase called Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur also referred to as the Day of Atonement or as I like to refer to it as the Day of At-One-Ment with your God is your ‘wedding day’ with Yeshua/Jesus. Do you love your Lord, Jesus/Yeshua? Do you love Him enough to show up when He says or do you have your own ideas of when the party should begin? Take a look at the story of Esther and Vashti. In Esther chapter 1- We see that interestingly enough the king(who represents Yeshua) beckons the queen (who represents the bride of Christ) to come to the party. We read that this occurs on the 7th day of the banquet. This alludes to the 7000 year millennial reign of the King. We happen to be in the 7th day according to biblical creation. God created for 6 days and on the 7th day He rested-Shabbat! In verse 11The servants are called to bring the queen to the king wearing the the royal crown which He gave to her (alluding to the crown of Salvation) which for us is found in the Incarnate Word or the Living Torah who is Jesus/Yeshua). Yeshua wants to show all of Heaven and earth your beauty. After all He formed you in His own hand for His glory, to become to Him a helpmate in the Kingdom of God. 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come to the Feast days that the King had ordered. All of Creation ignores the MOEDIM (appointments) which he had sent through his officers (prophets). This enragesd the king - his anger blazed inside him. So to not entirely unlike the King of Persia, our God’s wrath and fury are kindled within when we refuse to adapt to His ways. God wishes to bless you all. Jeremiah 29:11 states that He/God knows the plans that He has for you to do good things for you and to cause you to prosper… Come to His Feast Days, Observe the Sabbath and keep it set apart/Holy. Circumcise your hearts Oh Jerusalem and come before your God. This is the ‘good news’ of the gospels. It has always been God’s plan to give you opportunity to come before the LORD our God just as Esther the obedient wife of the King came before him and beseeched him for mercy. Mercy was given to Esther just as it can be had for you. The Lord your God has gone to the grave for us and has arisen alive. He did this in order to fulfill a law that states if a man (Jesus/Yeshua) wishes to stay married to an unfaithful bride (you and I) He must be able to die and come back to life. With mere mortal man it is impossible to make this unequally yoked union work… but with God all things are possible. It is taught that God doesn’t believe in divorce and this is the only place you have a right to apply that concept. You and I alone are the unfaithful and Jesus chose to remain married to us. Let’s gather this Rosh Hashana and show the world how much we love the Lord Jesus, and how aware we are of the mercy that has befallen us. All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Romans 3:23 Let us enter into the Holy of Holies with confidence this week and enter into a New Year. Hebrews 10:19 Coming before the Lord in repentance making ‘teshuvah’ is an act of trust and faith. Ezekiel states that the LORD our God would place His Spirit in us and move us to desire to know HIS ways. Your name has indeed already been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life but will you show you Adonai Elohim that you trust Him and that we believe in His ways rather than in the ways of man. WWJD? Come and Join us this Wednesday evening. It is the Erev Rosh Hashana the evening and the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets. We will be eating Apples and Honey to bring in a sweet new year for all of God’s children! We are expecting a move of the hearts of men and women in our community to draw near to the culture and customs of Jesus Christ/ Yeshua. Would you like a “do-over” for the year? This is our chance to come before the Lord our God/ Yeshua-Jesus and begin a new life. This is the chance we all should be looking forward to each and every year. As the Children of Israel (Romans 11) I believe that we should rejoice at coming to the feast days. After all, it is these festivals that remind us of the promises given to us in the Covenant. The New Testament is not a ‘new’ covenant it is the same covenant that God made with our fathers. The same one our fathers broke and so will we. But we have license to claim our rights and inheritance to the commonwealth of Israel, if we love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and strength. The Maher family wishes you and your families a Shana Tova – a year of good health, happiness and serenity. May our prayers be answered and may our leaders be endowed with wisdom and integrity. May we merit a year of peace and security for the State of Israel, good tidings for the Jewish people and may all good people throughout the world be blessed.

The picture shows a people that desire to walk and live in a manner that is pleasing to the Creator Hashem. To walk in the 'name' is to walk in the character. In order to walk in the character of God, one must know and accept the Torah commands on behavior. The 613 Mitzvot are simply laws of nature and nature's Creator's laws. If you drive 55 in a 20 mph zone you get a fine. Worse you could get locked up in jail. If you jump from an airplane without a parachute, you fall gracefully until you reach the end, at which time you say, "splat!" If you cheat on your God, you find yourself walking outside of the relationship, just like you would if you cheated on your spouse. While many religious spirits will go off into a tyrade about faithfulness, those same people who are quick to judge those who have fallen forget that they too, have cheated on their God. Yes, I said it. You are all adulterers and only the lying spirit would tell you otherwise. God has sent His only Begotten Son to die for your sins, and even after you found out about Jesus/ Yeshua and confessed your sins, you still fell down. Granted you may not get drunk or use drugs anymore but you still get intoxicated on other's sin. Jesus says if you so much as thought the thought in your head you have committed the act. So, Where do we stand? If we are honest we have all made mistakes, some over and over, and yet we pretend that we aren't wicked. The idea is a lifestyle that encourages righteousness. It is not a lifestyle that deceives us into thinking that we are in some way more righteous or perfect in and of ourselves. We understand that we on our own are not righteous, but we can strive to renew our relationship with Yeshua on a daily, hourly and by the minute basis. When we break the law in our country, you do not lose your citizenship. The same can be understood about God's plan for us in His kingdom. He knew you would fall. he knew you would fall even after you got "saved". so relax and renew, repent and be restored.
Confess your nature to miss the mark and sin to your Messiah Yeshua and be made new.
The Jewish people are a people, not a religion. Religion has stolen from us the inheritance that says even though I was once outside the camp destined for a life long hell, I have been redeemed by the pprecious blood of the eternal covenant of salvation for mankind. The Covenant of Salvation brought near by Yeshua is the covenant you and I can embrace, take hold of and put to use.
The people in the video were not starting a war. They were just attempting to live in lifestyle articulated by God to Moshe and to our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Where is the offense? so many mothers, fathers and children slaughtered because they willing and joyfully embraced the lifestyle of our fathers.
Is not the religion of the world secularism?
Look and see what promises secularism holds for humanity.
Be careful whose side you stand on. God's or the World's.
