SABBATH READINGS 3/6/10

SHABBAT SHALOM!
Peace and favor to you in the Name of YAHUSHUAH!
This Shabbat is another special Sabbath called Shabbat Parah. This Shabbat just comes after Purim. It is a special Sabbath to begin our preparation for Passover. The reading from Bem/Num. 19 discusses the red heifer and the water for cleansing. The water for cleansing is used to cleanse someone who has come in contact with the dead, the unclean. Death is unclean. Sin causes spiritual death. Any contact with sin makes us unclean. We cannot come before YAHUAH in an unclean state. Pesach (Passover) is a very special time and we must prepare ourselves for it. Begin preparing for Pesach with repentance and pray for YAHUAH to cleanse you with water from Heaven. Focus on YAH and set yourselves apart for His Set-Apart Festival.
******************************
TIME OF RELEASE--SPIRITUAL FREEDOM
The past few weeks, YAHUAH has led us in understanding and obtaining our freedom in Messiah YAHUSHUAH. We have been learning about the Spiritual Writ of Habeas Corpus. Habeas Corpus is a secular law of the land that has helped us to understand important principles of the spiritual realm, like a parable.
Habeas Corpus is a latin term meaning 'to have the body.' It is an old law that is still in use today in many countries. Habeas Corpus refers to unlawful imprisonment. If someone is wrongly imprisoned or if he is still being held after his sentence has expired, then that person can submit a Writ of Habeas Corpus. This will allow the imprisoned person to plead his case before a judge and court and seek a release. After hearing his case, the judge then decides whether or not to release the prisoner. The whole purpose of Habeas Corpus is to seek release from imprisonment.
This law helps us understand freedom and spiritual imprisonment. Throughout the Scriptures, you'll find a basic principle: When man sins, he is punished; he must repent and plead before Elohim, then YAHUAH relents and releases him from punishment.
Ezra 7:26 -- "And whoever does not do the law of your Elah and the law of the sovereign, let judgment be promptly executed on him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment."
All of us have sinned. We are guilty. Because of our sins, we were punished in varying ways. Spiritually, we suffered from death, banishment, confiscation of goods, and imprisonment. Then we came to the truth of YAHUSHUAH. We believe in Him and in His Set-Apart Name. We commit ourselves to following Him and walking in His ways. Yet, some of us still await that 'Great Release' in our life. Some area of our life is still holding us back--keeping us in bondage or hindering our spiritual progress or preventing us from receiving all the promises of Scripture. When we confess YAHUSHUAH and believe in Him, our sins are forgiven--but problems still exist.
This is where the Spiritual Writ of Habeas Corpus comes in. We believe in YAHUSHUAH, and He has forgiven us; therefore, WE SHOULD NOT BE IN PRISON! If we are still suffering punishment from our past sins, then we are being wrongly held captive. Our sentence is over, and we should be released. We must plead before YAHUAH, the Most High Judge, for a release.
Mic 7:9 -- "I bear the displeasure of YAHUAH, for I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case, and shall execute right-ruling for me, until He brings me out into the light and I look on His righteousness."
YAHUAH Elohim has led us in every step of the Spritual Writ of Habeas Corpus. We followed the procedures and wrote our petitions for release and placed them upon the Altar of the House for His Name. Intercession was made on our behalf, YAHUSHUAH our Advocate pleaded our case, and YAHUAH granted release! He gave us a time of celebration this week to thank Him in the Assembly for hearing and approving our petition.
We have made DVDs of all the teachings regarding the Spiritual Writ of Habeas Corpus. Email or call us if you would like to receive these teachings. We will also send a document form that you can fill out and return to be placed on the Altar before Elohim. The form simply helps us to understand our spiritual freedom and filling it out is a small act of belief that YAHUSHUAH sets us free.
1Mel/1kings 8:46-53 -- “When they sin against You – for there is no one who does not sin – and You become enraged with them and give them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near; (47) and they shall turn back unto their heart in the land where they have been taken captive, and shall turn, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and acted crookedly, we have committed wrong,’ (48) and they shall turn back to You with all their heart and with all their being in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and shall pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the House which I have built for Your Name, (49) then shall You hear in the heavens Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause, (50) and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You? And give them compassion before those who took them captive, and they shall have compassion on them. (51) For they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Mitsrayim, out of the iron furnace."
Way/Lev 25:10 -- "And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan."
THIS IS THE YEAR OF SETTING THE CAPTIVES FREE!
Please contact us to receive these important teachings that will help you move forward. YAHUAH is preparing this Assembly to be used for His will. First, He taught us about the Coronation and led us to Crown YAHUSHUAH Sovereign. Then, He gave us new understanding of the Renewed Covenant and led us to take Commemoration in His prescribed manner to enter covenant with Him. Now, He is setting us FREE! The Spiritual Habeas Corpus teaches us how to receive that Great RELEASE in our lives so we can move forward in YAHUSHUAH and accomplish His will for His Reign on the earth.
Joh 8:36 “If, then, the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
**********************************************
May YAHUAH Elohim bless you this Sabbath with complete rest and a renewed strength in your Spirit. May He give you His wisdom and understanding to walk in all His ways and be pleasing to Him. May He grant you great success and lead you on His path to freedom! YAHUAH bless you in Name of His Most Set-Apart Son, our Sovereign Messiah YAHUSHUAH, so be it, so be it. Praise YAH!
