---Sharing our Lord and
Saviour Yahushua, Yeshua the Messiah to the
World!—
Please Note: On this site we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly
Father as it was written in the Hebrew and thus you will note that we will use
the four letter “Memorial Name” of
- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH, also we will use our Heavenly
Father’s title - “Elohim”
rather than “God” and we need to remember that “Elohim”
(God) is NOT a name but an attribute, a title! In addition we also love to use
the actual Name of our beloved “Messiah”
(written in Hebrew as “Mashiach” and in Greek as “
- Yahushua
(Yeshua in short) for this is the Messiah’s original Hebrew Name as given
to Him in
The
three levels of learning & understanding of the blessed Word of YHVH Elohim (the Lord God):
When we read and study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim as a believer in Yahushua the Messiah, we should keep following three steps in always mind for they are a valuable guide and it will certainly provide us with guidance and illuminate the sheer beauty and the fullness of YHVH’s most blessed Word.
1. Who was YHVH Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name speaking to?
2. When was it said?
3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?
I do believe that these three points are most relevant to our understanding of 1. What the Almighty is saying at the time - 2. As well as what it means to us today - and 3. Indeed to you and me right now!
I pray that these studies on the Feasts of YHVH will be a blessing to you and that they will provide you with “a helmet, armour and the shield of YHVH Elohim (the LORD God)” and that we are made ready to share His Word with those who are need of Salvation and His love, which can only come through faith in our Heavenly Father and His Anointed one, Yahushua the Messiah, or as many throughout the world say it “Yeshua.”
Shalom - Peace be with you, in
Yahushua THE Messiah!

“Scriptural
Truths” & “Ha Davar Word Studies”
We must live our lives on the principle that we have been placed on earth to do the will of YaHVaH our Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name! This must be our sole guide. In fact, at no time are we free of it. Obviously, we are to be engaged in studying His Word, doing faith-works, praying, and fasting, functioning as YHVH’s messengers on earth. We must also realise that even mundane affairs like eating or work count as divine missions. To sustain the soul one must sustain the body first. The Word of Elohim (God) warns us.
“Take heed and watch yourselves very carefully” Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:9.
In this verse the word used for “selves” is “Nefesh,” which actually translates as “soul.” It is quite common for people to corrupt their souls while sustaining their bodies. This verse very clearly shows us that we must be exceedingly careful to guard against this. Thus verse 9 should really read,
““Only take heed and your soul diligently”
Verse 9 then continues,
“Lest you forget the things your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life.”
Before a believer in Yahushua - Yeshua engages in an activity one should pray first and see if it does not oppose the will of YaHVaH, for we are here on the earth to serve HIM and our beloved Messiah!
It is rather sad, but all too often even believers place less effort in serving the Lord, than the smallest of shopkeepers spend time running their business. The Word states,
“If you seek it like silver and search
for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of YHVH”
On close reflection, we must realise, sometimes we fail to seek the treasures of the Word of YaHVaH and faith-works in Him, and often we place less effort in our Spiritual walk, than an owner of a small business does striving his goals. He does his utmost to increase his inventory and make items attractive for sale. Should several days pass without profit, and worse still, should his shop be damaged, he will feel upset and insecure. In serving the Lord some think nothing of letting several days pass without praying, reading and studying His Word, despite the enormous loss involved. During this interval, we may speak hundreds of words of idle chatter and sometimes even forbidden speech. During that time, one remains calm as if we have done nothing wrong.
Actually, we should be more meticulous about serving Messiah Yahushua than about attending to worldly affairs. The latter affects only the present while the former affects our status with our Heavenly Father. Likewise, our prayers to Almighty should be chiefly concerned with spiritual matters. Sadly, we spend more time asking for things from Elohim than giving Him honour and praise. Often we feel happy over material success, and feel distraught over failure. By contrast, understanding a verse or a chapter of the Word, performing a faith-deed or saying grace at meals should cause us much joy in doing Elohim's will.
Sincerity compels us to admit that some rejoice more over financial profit than being involved with ministry and outreach. Often individuals are less distressed over committing a wrong than losing a few dollars. Heavenly matters, beloved, must be more important to us than earthly ones, not because we lack faith, Elohim (God) forbid, but because we do not always pause to reflect eternal matters which should be part of our daily lives.
“Lest they understand with their heart and be healed” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 6:10.
In other words, who or what is in control, does your soul control your body or does your body rule your soul?
“Love YHVH your Elohim with ALL your HEART and ALL your SOUL, and ALL that you POSSESS” Davarim - Deuteronomy 6:5.
Praise
Shalom in Messiah - Yahushua.
May YHVH
Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of His hand always, in Messiah
Yahushua’s loving Name!

Yahushua
said; “No
one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws
him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets:
They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the Father and
learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the
Father except the One who is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell
you the truth he who believes has everlasting life.”
