Shavuot is the time that YAHUAH Elohim descended to meet with His people at Sinai. He made a Covenant with them by giving His Torah. We too must enter the Covenant with Elohim to become His people. But we must prepare ourselves first. The lessons below on Circumcision and Immersion will guide you in preparing for Shavuot. The lesson on First-Fruits explains how when we enter the covenant, we become the first-fruits of the harvest, set-apart and dedicated to YAH.
The Word of YAH was given on Shabbat May 31, 2008. Please read the Word carefully and pray for understanding in your heart. The Word contains Covenant Promises to Elohim. When we enter the Covenant with Elohim, only then do we become His people, and YAHUAH becomes our Elohim. Before Shavuot, read the Word and the promises and meditate on the words carefully. Please take His Words seriously! Understand that when you enter the Covenant, you will be blessed for obedience to His Word (Torah) but you will also receive punishment for disobedience. On Shavuot, enter the Covenant by reading the Promises to Elohim in prayer with a sincere heart. Understand that you are truly committing yourself to YAHUAH to walk in His ways, to be His first-fruits dedicated & set-apart to Him.
