SHABBAT SHALOM!
**YOM TERUAH** **DAY OF TRUMPETS**
Coming up next week! Begins 9/18 at sundown!
Yom Teruah and the weekly Sabbath on the SAME DAY! HalleluYAH!
As you know, we have the Prayer Guides for all the Set-Apart Days on the Resources Page of our website. YAH led us in making these Prayer Guides a few years ago as He was teaching us how to observe His Set-Apart Days. We learned a lot from our Jewish brothers, the Yehudim, who have been observing these days in some form or another ever since Moshe received the Torah on Horeb. As we returned to the Torah of YAHUAH, we looked to our 'big brothers' for learning as Messiah led us by His Set-Apart Spirit.
But now, YAH is taking us to another level. He is helping us to understand how we are to observe His Set-Apart Days once we enter the REIGN OF ELOHIM through the Messiah YAHUSHUAH. We were formerly exiles in Babel, but YAHUSHUAH has set us free from captivity. Coming to the truth of His Name and His Way set us free, and we have been making our way back to Yerushalayim as 'returning exiles.' Now, we have made it back to Yerushalayim--Renewed Yerushalayim--the Reign of Elohim. Praise YAH!
YAHUAH has led us to the books of Ezra and NechemYAH (Nehemiah) which tell about the exiles returning from Babel. Neh. 8 tells how the Yahudim observed the Set-Apart Days once they returned to Yerushalayim. So, in studying these Scriptures, YAH has been leading us to make some small changes in our observances this year, since we too have returned to Yerushalayim.
Anyone who has been a part of this ministry for any length of time knows we tend to make a good bit of changes. Why? Because we are all children of Elohim, and as children, we are always learning. Sometimes YAH teaches us step-by-step, one step at a time. We can't stay on the same step forever, and each step is something different from before--a change. Always learning, always moving forward, always climbing higher--as YAH leads.
We are working on writing out all His new revelations and teachings so we can add them to our website and get them out to you. Those who are new to observing the Festivals of YAH can still use (or read through) the Prayer Guides we have on our Resources page now. Just know that they are the stepping stone. We are preparing the next step and will get it out to you as soon as possible.
This week, study NehemYah chapters 7-9 and see our new page 'The Gate is Open.' This will give you some background on how we are to observe the Festivals now that we have come out of Babel and returned to Yerushalayim. Messiah said, “If you do not believe when I spoke to you about earthly matters, how are you going to believe when I speak to you about the heavenly matters?" (Yoh/John 3:12) We study the Scriptures to know and understand the earthly matters that took place, then YAHUSHUAH gives us revelation to understand how they point to the heavenly (spiritual) matters.
Also, if you are joining us for the Festivals, please contact us with your final travel plans so we can help with any arrangements. And it's still not too late to make plans for joining us for Sukkot! Trust YAH!
Shabbat Shalom!
HALLELUYAH! PRAISE YAH!
