Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is considered the holiest and most awesome day by both the Messianic Hebraic faith and traditional Judaism. However, both traditional Judaism and Christendom has so distorted the teachings of YHVH so as to negate the substance behind the commandment to observe this most holy Feast of the Lord.
In the body of believers the only ones that truly hear, or rather understand, and accept the Word of God are those who have the Spirit of God. Have today’s "called out ones" become so like the Jews of old – steeped in religious but unbiblical beliefs, traditions, teachings and intellect – that the church is dull of hearing to the revealed Word for today?
Many have gone beyond the so called “seven steps to salvation” and come, by faith, into a personal and spirit-led relationship with YHVH (Father, God) through the atoning blood sacrifice of his son, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah). These “sons (and daughters) of God” have often made a vow of obedience, servanthood, and love unto God as the Spirit has manifested God’s love, power and giftings within them. While this pouring out of our mouths and heart is a most intimate experience and pledge of our being, it has greater ramifications on the course and circumstances of our lives than the rationalizing part of the human mind generally considers.
Messiah is the "Ark" of our salvation, but let us be sure to steer our lives His way toward the straight gate that leads to life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10)
For The Love Of His Bride is a wonderful love story explaining how a Holy God can divorce an unfaithful wife and then remarry her while yet being faithful to His character/laws. It is the mystery of all ages simply revealed.
"Motivations to Sin" is the explanation of three fundamental incentives to sin which the enemy puts before the believer. Understanding his tactics can help the body of Christ be aware to resist and overcome the traps when we "see" these openings in our own lives.
Throughout the scriptures there are several layers of understanding from the obvious to the mystical. In Hebrew study this is represented by the acronym PARDES or simply PRDS if we leave out the vowel points. This synopsis will give the reader an overview of each level and a few examples for better understanding. This is a "must read" for any serious student of the scriptures.
Several years ago the Lord led me and my family into the practice of obeying the fourth commandment: remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. In the teaching that I shared on the subject, I only addressed the “whys” and not very many of the modern churches’ “why not(s)” or reasons given for not keeping the commandment of the Lord under the New Covenant. In the brief explanation which follows, I would like to touch upon a few of the New Testament scriptures submitted as reasons why new covenant believers object to keeping the Sabbath at the time originally designated rather than Sunday, the first day of the week.
God's Word Lost is a recognition of how that throughout man's history he has lost God-given revelations. Even after Messiah had established the New Covenant and given renewed revelation of the Word, almost immediately did principles of God's Word become distorted and ignored to be lost to generations of believers. This message reveals the observable results of this loss upon the 20th and 21st century church and discusses the “dirty dozen” evidences that demonstrate our ignorance to obedience to the true word. It also contains a historical summary of church history that make this a "must read" for the serious Christian.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5)
Down through the ages of time the name of God has repeatedly been lost, hidden or distorted from the understanding of God’s chosen people. By 1000 B.C. Solomon wrote the question from the mouth of Acur: Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know! (Proverbs 30:4)
