Born Again!

Born again, what exactly does hat mean? For years when people asked me what my faith or religion was I would say I was a “Born Again” or Non-Denominational. Ha! I have to laugh at my ignorance. What was that supposed to mean? No wonder my children look at me confused. I still looked the same. Walked, talked and acted the same. Granted I have a belief system that gives me a conscience and I follow the Ten Commandments. That is why I am married however celibate. I separated from my husband in 1998; we tried again to live as a married coupled again in Nov. 2004. We split again 01/13/2005. I have now tried divorcing him three times, each time thwarted. I look at it this way. If God in His all mighty power approved of the divorce, He would have allowed it to go through. I know people will disagree with me…if you think I should be divorced then help me to be so! That is all I can say on that matter.

I am not in a physical relationship with my husband. We are housemates, along with our two sons, our grandson, our grandson's mom, and my parents. He moved back; he had been living in Florida for the last six years, for the birth of our grandchild. He was staying with his sister and her family, however he out stayed his welcome. On top of all of that, he now has MS (Multiple Sclerosis). He had nowhere else to go until he works out social security insurance. What was I supposed to do, tell our children to bad so sad? He should have thought of all that before he moved back from Florida. Just because he wants things to be does not mean he gets to have his way. (I have to remind myself: HE HAS M.S.!!) If you want him, he can live with you. He is not my dad, I am taking care of my dad, and you take care of yours. Yeah. I could go on and on... W*W*J*D (He wouldn’t have married in the first place!!!) No! He would heal Rick and be loving and kind to him. I pray for Rick. If he does not want to accept Yahshua as his Lord and Savior, but God wants him...then I have to reason that that is why I am still married. May have something to do with the fact that I have prayed for all my children to be saved. Perhaps if I am divorced my children will no longer be sanctified I believe I read that in Corinthians…WOW! I do know my bible!

1Cor. 7:10 And to the married I command, not I, but the Master: A wife should not separate from a husband. 11But if she is indeed separated, let her remain unmarried or be restore to favour with her husband, and let her husband not send away a wife. 12And to the rest I say, not the Master: if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she thinks well to live with him, let him not send her away. 13And a woman who has an unbelieving husband has been set-apart in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been set-apart in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are set-apart.

What does this have to do with being born again…actually it has quite a bit to do with it. Correct me if you think I am wrong. Based on

Isaiah 1:4 Alas, sinning nation, a people loaded with crookedness, a seed of evil-doers, sons acting corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh, they have provoked the Set-apart One of Yisrael, they went backward.

5Why should you be beaten any more? You continue in *apostasy! All the head is sick and all the heart faints. 6From the sole of the foot to the head, there is no soundness in it - wounds and bruises and open sores; they have not been closed or bound up or soothed with ointment. 7Your land is laid waste, your cities are burned with fire, strangers devour your land in your presence. And it is laid waste, as overthrown by strangers. 8And the daughter of Tsiyon is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 9 Unless Yahweh of hosts had left to us a small remnant, we would have become like Sedom, we would have been made like Amorah. 10Hear the word of the Yahweh, you rulers of Sedom; give ear to the Torah of our Elohim, you people of Amorah! 11”Of what use to Me are your many slaughterings?” declares Yahweh. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats. 12 “When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courtyards? 13 “Stop bringing futile offerings, incense, it is an abomination to Me. New Moons, Sabbaths, the calling of meetings – I am unable to bear unrighteousness and assembly. 14“My being hates your New Moons and your appointed times, they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them. 15 “And when you spread out your hands, I hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands have become full of blood. 16“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Stop doing evil! 17“Learn to do good! Seek right-ruling reprove the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If you submit and obey, you shall eat the good of the land; 20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken

*the renunciation (a denial or rejection of something or somebody, usually for moral or religious reasons) of a religious or political belief or allegiance

~*~ Just want you to be clear what apostasy means. ~*~

What this verse is saying to me is…if you know you are doing something wrong... KNOW it! You feel it in your gut when you are not positive…that is actually the Holy Spirit guiding you. He is speaking to you using your conscience and you ignore it and continue to do it…you are knowingly committing a sin. If you ask for forgiveness and then do it again…you do not repent…you just figure you will go and ask for forgiveness God understands…He made you. It is His fault you cannot control yourself. Yeah right! That is why you give yourself to God and ask Yahushua into yourself. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. All things are possible through Yahushua Messiah our Lord and Savior.

Matthew 12:30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. 31”Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven men. 32”And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Adam, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Set-apart Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

So if the Set-apart Spirit nudges you and you ignore it that is blasphemy (something done or said that shows disrespect for God or sacred things) against the Set-apart Spirit. If you sin and are unaware, then come to realize certain behavior is sin… repent! You Can be forgiven! Believe me! I have broken everyone of the Ten Commandments some more than the rest. Yes, ALL of them. The only ones I struggle with now are the 4th and the 10th. I do not covet my neighbor’s belongings or life…but I would like a better life. Every now and again, I catch myself saying, “Oh! Me too; I would like to have that as well.” I am not denying another their due…I am just praying that I am rewarded for my diligence in life. Now, I know I am more likely to be cursed as Job, as that is the way we become closer to Father Yahweh, but I still cannot stop myself from praying that I do win the PCH! I also worry that I am idolizing and putting things like a television program or an iphone game (cannot have my crops wilting or lose a daily bonus because I forgot to check into the game!!!), before Yahweh. Gluttony one of the deadly sins (The seven deadly sins are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.) that falls under coveting and perhaps idolatry! I must have all the Buffy the Vampire Slayer seasons DVDs, same for the Twilight collectable DVDs. I want my share of a meal at the dinner table, with a family of 8 and after cooking it all with little to no help darn straight I want my share! I can walk away from a bag of Lays potato chips…Community Theater Movie Popcorn, well that is another story altogether!!! We all have these tendencies.

If not gluttony the act or practice of eating and drinking to excess. Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins in Christian tradition. Maybe yours is wrath: strong anger, often with a desire for revenge. Perhaps greed: an overwhelming desire to have more of something such as money than is actually needed. How about sloth: a dislike of work or any kind of physical exertion. Then there is good ole pride: the happy satisfied feeling somebody experiences when having or achieving something special that other people admire / the correct level of respect for the importance and value of your personal character, life, efforts, or achievements. The one that took me along time to conquer- lust: the strong physical desire to have sex with somebody, usually without associated feelings of love or affection. Last definition…envy: the resentful or unhappy feeling of wanting somebody else's success, good fortune, qualities, or possessions / to desire something possessed by somebody else.

I have been working out on the Wii as well as Wii Dance and have recently purchased a Tai Chi DVD… and I am willingly cutting back on what I eat. I refuse to give up my Community Theater Movie Popcorn. I need my popcorn!!! As long as I am willing to pay for it…AND I AM!!! Willing to pay for it that is, in every sense of the word!

I wish to be the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31. The virtuous woman who keeps the Ten Commandments and does none of the seven deadly sins. If that is my life work and I rise to the calling then I will be Born Again into the Kingdom of Yahweh. That is the true rebirth. You cannot claim to be born again until you die and are reborn a new creature…a new and improved you; truly washed clean of all sins and literally never able to sin again! We have to walk the walk talk the talk and live as He commands and guides in order to enter and to hear, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

This life is nothing compared to all eternity. It is worth it to me to stay married if that is truly the Master’s will and not Satan jerking my chain. I am chained to Father Yahweh through His only begotten son Yahushua and I believe I have the Set apart Spirit living in me. It is the only way I can abstain with our going rubber baby buggy bumpers! I willingly live one day at a time at His leave. Granted every now and again my true nature rise up and I lose patience with Satan’s servants, but greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world!!! I may be their only hope towards salvation. I sincerely believe they are called, I asked in faith and I believe He knocked. The deaf people in this house just aren’t hearing Him and opening their doors! Very frustrating! Well, sad to say, there are no tears in heaven so if they do not make it, all I can say is then that must have been their choice not to be here with me in paradise walking with the King of Kings.

I must be the shining example of how a woman is supposed to behave when she is separated from/married to a non-believer. (In other words Father is saying, “You made your choice…you said vows to Me. Now, even though you do not believe in the church you do believe in Me and know those vows were said to Me not the organization you made them in. How are you to save that man and your children if you quit. For sex? Julie! Shame on you! You know better. It is unimportant compared to their being. Perhaps you are their covering. Instead of saving many, I want you to save your little family. You do not know the work I have for you. Just live each day with Me at the helm and forget about everything else. Serve the consumers who call you and need your help at work. Do your dads bidding and help your mother with her finances. You are to be the example to your children of how to honor ones parents. Now, go witness.  If you pull it off you will be reborn into the Kingdom of Heaven!”)

With that said…I need to go get ready to take my mother out. We are going dancing! I am bringing the son and husband along too! Have a blessed evening, If that Is the Master’s will for you.

The favour of our Master Yahushua Messiah be with the set-apart ones. Amen.

Yahshua came preaching the Kingdom of God. After burying a dear friend / brother and hearing what people believe I thought I would workout exactly what I believe. My apologies if I bore you with my brainwork…just skip this blog then. OR read it and tell me where I err.

Oh mercy! I forgot! Shabbat Shalom! Greetings in Yahshua our Lord and Savior! May His peace, grace, and Spirit be with you! Yahshua I invite You into my day, Your will be done as Father’s will be done as You both are in agreement. Guide me in Your word as I explore the topic of Death. In Your name, Yahshua/Yahushua/Jesus/Yeshua I ask this. Amen.

I know I have touch upon this in one of my blogs, I believe my co-worker put me on that path. Well, I am looking for clarification now of what I believed based on the bible. I could have sworn I started this study once before…like you would know or not…I’ll BRB! I am back; and I found it I started this Feb. 12th, 2012! Little copy and paste… ~*~ Viola ~*~


“Father Yahweh I invite You into my day knowing it is through Your son that I am even worthy to approach You at all. Your will be done in all that is relative to me in my little realm of reality. Please give me the understanding and allow me to hear what You say about the subject on my heart. Amen.”

The topic is Death and Life after. What says Father Yahweh; I will be using The Scripture 1998 translation for my study and backing up my findings with King James:

First, I must acknowledge that it is only with His blessings that one understands. Job 32:8 But truly it is the spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty that gives him understanding. Mattithyahu 11:25-30

25 At that time Yahushua responding, said, “I thank You, Father, Master of the heavens and the earth, because You have hidden these matters from cleaver and learned ones and have revealed them to babes.” 26 “Yea, Father, because so it was well pleasing in Your sight. 27 “All have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him. 28”Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I shall give you rest. 29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings.” 30”For My yoke is gentle and my burden is light.”

(KJV)Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Per Genesis, we were made in His image…male and female. He tell us He made Adam out of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living being.

(KJV) Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

(KJV) Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(T.S. 1998) Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah Yahushua our Master.

The wages of sin is death; the price of sin is death. UNLESS! We accept Messiah Yahushua as our Master and ask Him to cover our sins with His precious blood. His blood was shed to save those who believe and have faith. We must walk the walk and talk the talk.

Yeshayahu 59:1 Look, the hand of Yahweh has not become too short to save, nor His ear too heavy to hear. 2 But your crookedness have separated you from your Elohim. And your sins have hidden His face from you, from hearing you. (Isaiah 59:1-2)

Yehezqel 18:4 “See, all beings are Mine, the being of the father as well as the being of the son is Mine. The being that is sinning shall die.”

Ahh! That explains quite a bit. Whenever I choose to step out from the covering and go my own way, I separate from Yahushua and cut myself off from Father Yahweh. So it isn’t Him who is allowing awful things to happen in my life it is me going off to do my own thing and sinning that brings it on myself! Who am I; how dare I blame Father for my bad choices? I choose to let people anger me. I give them the power to steal my peace. Stupid me!!! Death we should not fear! Our standing with Father Yahweh we should fear. Once we are dead there is no changing that standing!!!

Ezekiel 18:20-32 20The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? Are not your ways unequal? 26When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 28Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 29Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 30Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

That explains Death. Now what happens when we die? Do we go to heaven? My belief is we do not. If we were meant for heaven we would have been created angel not man or woman. My sister’s disagree, as do many people I know. What does the bible say, which is what God, says:

John 3

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. [9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? [10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? [11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. [12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. [14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. [22] After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. [23] And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. [24] For John was not yet cast into prison. [25] Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. [26] And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. [27] John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. [28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. [29] He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. [30] He must increase, but I must decrease. [31] He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. [32] And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. [33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Come on [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Even Moses, Noah, and David are not in Heaven…Jesus / Yahushua said so…what makes people think that is where they are going when they die? Yahushua came preaching the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 25: 31-32 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Now correct me if I am wrong…He did say foundation…right?

I’m just saying…

Yes and how about the thief that was hanging on the cross along side Jesus / Yahushua whom Jesus / Yahushua promised would be in heaven with Him? That thought occurred to me too! What does scripture say: Luke 23:42 And he said to Yahshua, “Master, remember me when You come into Your reign.” 43 And Yahushua said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, you shall be with Me in Paradise.” It is all about punctuation and interpretation…may I point you to the previous verse Luke 23:42.

Matthew 22:30 “For in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of Elohim in heaven.” 31 “And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by Elohim, saying, 32 ‘I am the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob? Elohim is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living.”

This passage is the response Yahushua made to the Sadducees about the seven brothers who married one woman. She married one brother, he died, and she married the next brother until he died, she was wife to all seven brothers and then she herself died. In the resurrection who is her husband. According to scripture, Yahushua’s spoken word, none. Mark 12:18-27 states the same.

Mark 12:25”For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as messengers in the heavens.

We will be as the angels…not that we become angels. The word He used is “like”. We are sexless neither male nor female. We are lower than the angels are and that is why Yahweh has them look over us. However, Yahushua is above, angel and humankind alike. Hebrews tells us this. Hebrews tells us to hold fast to our faith and encourage each other daily for we have become partakes of Messiah if we hold fast the beginning of our trust firm to the end. Hebrews also tells us how to enter into that rest. We are to be obedient.

Hebrew 4:9So there remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim. 10For the one, having entered into His rest, has himself rested from his own works, as Elohim rested from His own. 11Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. 12For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account. 14Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens Yahushua the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not has a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. 16Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favour, in order to receive compassion, and find favour for timely help.

1 Timothy 4:7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables,, and exercise yourself rather to reverence. 8For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but reverence is profitable for all, having promise of the present of life, and of that which is to come. 9Trustworthy is the word, and worthy of all acceptance. 10 It is for this that we laboue and struggle, because we trust in the living Elohim, who is the Savior of all men, particularly of those who believe.

2 Thessalonians 1:2Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master Yahushua Messiah. 3We ought to give thanks to Elohim always for you, brothers, as it is proper, because your belief grows exceedingly, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 4so that we ourselves boast of you among the assemblies of Elohim for your endurance and belief in all your persecution and afflictions which you are bearing, 5clear evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim, in order for you to be counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer, 6since Elohim shall rightly repay with afflictions those who afflict you, 7and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Master Yahushua is revealed from heaven with His might messengers, 8in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know Elohim, and on those who do not obey the Good News of our Master Yahushua Messiah, 9who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Master and from the esteem of His strength, 10when He comes to be esteemed in His set-apart ones and to be admired among all those who believe in that Day, because our witness to you was believed. 11To this end we always pray for you that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and complete all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of belief with power, 12so that the Name of our Master Yahushua Messiah is esteemed in you, and you in Him, according to the favour of our Elohim and the master Yahushua Messiah.

Well first, I must say thank you to Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus for their letter and for praying for all the set-apart ones even before we were born. Gives me a sense of well being and peace knowing I was prayed for before I even existed. Then again, Father Elohim knows exactly who is who, who is to come, and how He is going to use every single one of us. HalleluYah! Glory be to our Father in heaven whose name is Yahweh who is the alpha and the omega the one and only true Elohim! Hallelu-Yah! Yah bless all the set-apart ones, I do trust that the Master is trustworthy and is guarding me from the wicked one. I believe He directs my heart into the love of Elohim and into the endurance for Messiah. We are instructed to withdraw from brethren who walk disorderly and not according to the traditions, which were given us in His word the bible. I look back at the people in my life and see that there are very few I am yoked with. I still love my friends and family, I just withdraw from them as not to stumble. All I can say is that if you believe in Yahweh and Yahushua then you walk in love. You show that love and give comfort here and there and to me it is that giving of “you” that is one’s works. Love covers a multitude of sin. The greatest of these is love…Elohim is love! So if someone says professes they are a Christian or a servant of God and after observing them or spend time with them and you find yourself asking, “Where’s the love?” Then you know to withdraw from them. Granted no one is perfect but Yahushua, but you know us by our works. 

This study has confirmed my belief.  When we die, we are asleep until judgment day…if you have scripture that states otherwise…please share.  Thank you.

The favour of our Master Yahushua Messiah be with you all. Amen.

Heavenly Father whose holy name is Yahweh I humbly kneel before You in spirit at the foot of Your throne. I know and believe that everything that happens on earth occurs as You will it from heaven. From a small hiccup or a big sneeze whatever is needed to put us in sync with Your plan. Just as Your word tells us in Ecclesiastes 3 there is time for every matter. It has all been said and done and nothing we do can change any of it. You are in control…how we respond in heart and spirit is what You judge us on. I ask that you forgive me my bad actions and reactions and the stupid words that come out of my mouth. Please send comfort to those I may have said something to that hurt them in some shape / form. I forgive those who have done the same to me. Please allow Your Holy Spirit to dwell in me; that I am clean and worthy of that Spirit. As I read Your word, study and fellowship please allow me to be filled with your Holy Spirit. Please have the Holy Spirit feed me and lead me away from temptation delivering me from evil, for Your names sake. I know I am Your witness and I must do right by You. For Yours IS the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen. Per Ecclesiastes 12:13 We are to fear You, Father, and keep your commandments. Everything we do is going to be brought to light the good and the bad. I certainly pray that I have not done anything that is going to embarrass me on Judgment Day or something that gets me tossed in to Hell. Being cut off from You would certainly be Hell. I can only account for myself. You know the recent happenings. You know what I have been thinking and feeling. You are aware of what everyone is thinking and feeling. You know how I feel out of place – discordant. I need Your guidance. Without You I am lost.




Yahushua I need Your grace to guide me in helping Eleanor get through this dark and difficult time. I need wisdom, grace, patience, and the words to give her comfort. I know not what to do and at the same time, this crazy household to contend with. Your will Father…in Yahushua’s name…Amen!


Ecclesiastes 3 (The Scriptures)

To every matter there is an appointed time, even a time for every pursuit under the heavens:2 A time to be born, and a time to die a time to plant, and a time uproot;3 A time to slay, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;7 A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for battle, and a time of peace.9 What does the worker gain from his toil?10 I have seen the task Elohim has given to the sons of men to be humbled by it.11 He has made it all, pretty in its time. Even the ages He has put in their hearts, except that no one finds out the work that Elohim does from beginning to end.12 I know that there is no good for them, but to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,13 and also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is a gift of Elohim.14 I know that whatever Elohim does is forever: There is no adding to, and there is no taking from it. Elohim does it, that men should fear before Him.15 Whatever is has already been, and what shall be has been before. But Elohim seeks out what has been pursued.16 Then again I saw under the sun: In the place of right-ruling, wrongness was there. And in the place of righteousness, wrongness was there.17 I said in my heart, “Elohim judges the righteous and the wrong, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.”18 I said in my heart, “Concerning the matter of the sons of men, Elohim selects them, so as to see that they themselves are beasts.”19 For the event of the sons of men is also the event of beasts - one event befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Indeed, they all have one breath - man has no advantage over beasts. For all is futile.20 All are going to one place - all came from the dust, and all return to dust.21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, which goes down to the earth?22 So I saw that man could do no better but to rejoice in his own works, for that is his portion. For who would bring him to see what shall be after him?



Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the entire matter: Fear Elohim and guard His commands, for this applies to all mankind! 14For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.

Shabbat shalom and greetings in Christ:


May favour, compassion, and peace be bestowed upon you from Elohim The Father and from The Master Yahushua, Messiah our Savior.

Yahushua I invite You into my day, Your will be done and please allow me to stay under Your covering. Yesterday was my parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary and today is my grandson’s 1st Birthday, the celebration is continuing on today and I am not properly observing Sabbath. I acknowledge the day, and agree that it is a Holy day and made for man to recharge and reconnect with Father Yahweh. I thank You for Cordan, Eleanor and Rachel Father Rickey too…he did help a little bit as did mom in slicing seven eggplants and laying them out to drain on paper towels and then salting them all. Mom also sliced seven large onions and minced the garlic for me. Now there was a chore! There is no way I would have been able to do all the prep work and cook it all without help. I appreciate the people You have given to me in my life. I may not always agree and get along with them, but I do recognize that You have placed them here for a reason. I may be slow at times learning the lesson…

I know I have nerve to ask this, per Your instructions we are to pray and keep You in everything, even when we are not fully keeping one of the commandments. I know nowhere in the bible does is say to honor one’s birth…do unto other’s as you would have done unto you though is a synopsis of the last six commandments! I know, I know God is supposed to come first. Well I am putting Him and You first in my day, and then I am going to go and celebrate my Grandson’s first birthday with my non-believing family! I only break the commandments for the people who I live with and Rachel…occasionally Eleanor. They are it. Well, Deb too. Okay the people I love and care for I bend the rules for…I read the Berean yesterday! I heard what You were telling me…my only defense is Yahweh made me and You both know what I am going to do BEFORE EVEN I DO! I have given myself to You, Yahushua, that is why I am married yet single. You are the head of me and I believe that You love me no matter what. I may disappoint You now and again…and again…however You get me and know what I am all about and as long as I do not commit the unpardonable sin I will always be forgiven when I give into my loved ones. I only break Sabbath for milestones. You do not care. They should not be broken at all…though there are a few instances in Your word that shows it can be for specific reasons. I know a birthday celebration is not one. I plan on resting and relaxing...pool side today…now that I have acknowledge my fears and have bent Your ear, Yahushua, with my lament I throw in there God willing. God willing today will be a good day for me to witness and that I will be able to rest and relax. In Your name, Yahushua, I ask all this…Amen.

Enough about me, my loved ones Father, so many of them are in poor health, financial struggle or both. I look at these modern day Jobs and say thank You for all that You allow me. I may not be in the best of health, but my pain is nothing compared to my siblings and friends. My dad alone is so fragile and weak you know all my worries there…I give them to You. Your will be done. I know only You know his heart, and I am praying that all that ugliness and bitterness is just him dealing with how his life has turned out and that You and he have a relationship that will get him to the Kingdom of God. You know everyone’s heart. I leave them and mine all to You as You are in control and nothing we do is going to change the end results…Your Kingdom will come and Your will will be done not matter what anyone does or does not do. I read the end of the book! ;-)

Have a blessed day!  I love you, Kat...I believe you are my only reader...LOL
