I'm an orthodox Jew and i used to travel for business in Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Kansas. I was so warmly welcomed by Christians everywhere, and was pleased to find so many were learning biblical Hebrew. Thank you all for your kindness.
Demonic
@@JoshuaFinancialPL I'm glad one of us has been treated well by xtians.
@@JeWCyDuDe Christians are our biggest ally.
Texas is a great place to be a Jew. I have people come up to me pretty regularly to shake my hand and tell me they support and have been praying for us.
@Levi_ben_Yitzhak exactly and with rabbi Federo there it's a great place.
I got goosebumps a few times watching this. My father passed the Torah “torch” to me before he passed. I’m the only one in my family who follows it but I pray that my family and friends will become curious someday and a door will be opened for a great conversation. Yah bless your church brother.
I am in the process of reading Genesis to Revelation for the fourth time and am learning SO much each time I go through it. I don't know how anyone could conclude that Yeshua the Messiah is not present in the Tenach. He is all over the place!
I pray that the Father will ignite a profound curiosity in your family and friends for His Word and His Ways and that they would humbly and joyfully walk in it and hear from Him through the Holy Spirit and through the reconciling work of The Example who made it possible for the lost sheep of the house of Israel to come back to the Father through Him.
@@zachreyhelmberger894 thanks for your kind words friend. All the best to you on your journey. May Yah bless you.
My current church did this like 16 years ago! Never looked back.
So cool!
So you now go to a synagogue not a church and despise Jesus and his teachings. That is pretty much par for the course for Southern Faux Christians.
What church do you belong to and in what city?
Ruach moving in Texas. Triumph in truth had huge Sunday church changed to Shabbat. Praise YAH for pastors that tune into the Ruach not tradition.
If he was moved by the Holy Spirit he would realize he could never be "above reproach" because he's a convicted child rapist.
This man truly has found The Way. The Truth is sometimes hard. Thats the way its supposed to be.
Shalom shalom. It’s always a blessing to see another congregation returned to the true day set aside.
Amazing how many of us gentiles are “turning to Torah” and we don’t even know each other from one end of the United States to the other and our testimonies are so similar! This video is like a supercharged blessing to me!
My sentiments exactly! 😊
@@RevSerge We are no longer gentiles. We have changed our citizenship and are grafted into Israel (a covenanted people) just as Ruth did.
@BonnieBlue2A sorry but there is no grafting. Please quote God when he says gentiles are grafted in....I'll wait......
.....
In reality Hashem says:
Ezekiel 37:28וְיָֽדְעוּ֙ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם כִּ֚י אֲנִ֣י יי מְקַדֵּ֖שׁ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בִּהְי֧וֹת מִקְדָּשִׁ֛י בְּתוֹכָ֖ם לְעוֹלָֽם׃
And when my temple abides among them forever, the gentiles shall know THAT I THE LORD DO SANCTIFY ISRAEL.
So in the future Hashem will reaffirm Israel's separation from the rest of the world.
Rut wasn't grafted, she joined Israel. That's not what xtians are doing today. They are staying separated with their idolatry
At least you admit that you are gentiles. God's children Israel are free from that yoke.
Not only in the United states but all around the world. I live in Sweden and my husband and I have been in this walk for about 10 years now.
😎 Brilliant this really scratched my itch, I just returned from a Messianic Rabbi conference and I'm a Christian pastor, And what I've struggling with was how to set my order of service I just took over a congregation here in Colorado Springs called Springs of Living Water they are a Torah observant community of believers and this guy just really helped me see where we're going next thank you so much
No Way!
That's a huge prayer and dream of mine for all churches!
Me too!!!!
Please explain?
Wow. This was so encouraging. God is bringing me into this...Thankyou very much. May God bless both of your ministries. ❤️✝️
Hallelujah!!! Praying more churches will come to the truth of the blessings of Torah! 💕💕💕
Whether to celebrate Shabbat is up to individual church. There is no compulsion to celebrate Shabbat.
@@hegagi839There is a commandment.
I enjoyed every second of this ❤ halleluYah . Praying for more churches come to truth like this ❤
It's amazing how Awesome, Yehovah really is . My church, started Sabbath service, in 2009. 15 years strong !
Church???
@@evamarie29 church, assembly, synagogue, congregation, you can call it whatever you want. We call it our body of Messiah
WOW! How this testimony lifts our hearts up - will pass this on to the brethren - such a spirit of humility but with confidence in YESHUA!
I’m new on this journey and celebrated this past Passover and want more to live obeying God’s laws. My sister and I started observing Sabbath on our own and even tried going to Messianic churches in Portland, Oregon. One was Russian and we don’t understand the language and the other one was not friendly and no one greeted us and it didn’t feel welcoming. I hope to find a church soon and pray more churches observe Sabbath on Saturday and live like Yeshua.
I’m going through the same issues with my church and the sermons. I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth. I keep coming across Torah keeping Christianity. I cannot ignore this.
Amen, keep letting him reveal His Truth to you. My family and I have learned so much the past few years and there is no going back for us.
@@JeremyBurnett Christianity = syncretism. The Father hates syncretism. We can read it in his warnings to the prophet Jeremiah to Messiah Yeshua’s address in Revelation to the lukewarm church of Laodiceq.
I pray Yah continues to reveal His heart in His Word 📖 to you. Please keep your heart and mind open to His leading, but maintain discernment. Search this in the Word of God alone, without outside sources as much as possible. I'm excited for you!
@@sjking1111 my church leans on the word. Pastor loves to say “if there is a question, let every man be a liar and see what the Bible has to say about it.” Whatever it says, that’s what we’ll go with.
I was led by Yah, directly. When I was praying about the Ten Commandments, and lamenting about their removals, back in 2008, He told me -- You are not keeping My Ten Commandments -- and I knew which one. Following the Ten led to following the 7 High Shabbats in the Feasts as well. Then He told me (many years later) that His Calendar would become very important to me (It has). He has to speak slowly with short sentences to me!
I have just come into this understanding in the last 10 months. I was suddenly very sick without a community and doctors. First I asked Yeshua to be my physician. The first thing prescribed was to rest with Him on Sabbath. I cannot describe the profound peace, comfort and nurturing He gave me. He gave me diet week by week and eventually an MD who referred me specialties I needed. I followed the “bread crumbs” and path. Began listening to a messianic teacher and saw in Galatians 3 that Christ annulled the enmity of the law. No jew or Greek. I was told to read Gal 3 out loud so my ears would hear and in the Amplified.
This is exciting. I am alone keeping sabbath( not too well) but believe this is pleasing to Yeshua. I want to know how to love Him. He said if you love Me you will keep my commands.
Wanted to try a Messianic church but the closest one I believe is closed. What can a lay person do, a woman? I live in Virginia and my only friend is 2 hours away.
@@marianhoover8206 Our Messiah will lead you where He wants you. Just ask🙏
Im in the same boat . I pray Yay helps us an others as us . 🙏 💕 👑
You can also try 119 ministries they have a fellowship finder. There are also many groups on social media that you can connect with. You may be able to find others in your area.
@@yoliemine thank you!
@@nancyperez9728 I have asked and trust Him!
Brothers and sisters in Yeshua, I can relate to what your pastor went through, when he was sent off to a 6 year vacation, in order to learn about 'Truth' in the Bible, and to become Torah observant. Only I wasn't sent on a 6 year vacation. Yah caused me to have a bloodclot in my left leg back in 1989, then to become disabled in 1998. I had been a construction welder in 1983, but never had time for Yah being I worked 7 days a week. Long story short, what I thought was a great curse in my life, having a leg which would never fully heal, turned out being the greatest blessing I could have ever hoped for. As fter learning about different cults online, then about the evils of politics, Yah began teaching me about Sabbath, His Feast Days, eating clean as opposed to unclean and learning about His Torah, and His Commandments. It was His Ruach who taught me, but it didn't come overnight, as I had to unlearn all that I thought was correct which was falsely taught to me in Christian churches. I had never been taught thst I was part of 'The Commonwealth of Israel' as a believer, and I had to learn what I had never been taught. My real eye-opening journey took me about 15 years before I began learning about Yah. I had to learn how He wanted me to be, and how to make Him first in my life. I was led to a Messianic ministry in Norman Oklahoma, as I was hooked and couldn't learn enough, as 'church' had never captured me in my first 50 years of life. I have now been following this same ministry for almost 13 years now. I attended my first Sukkot 8 day camping trip in 2020, and realized how many other former Sunday church going believers there were at that campground, and even though that was the beginning of the covid crisis, that great number of fellow believers was a great joy to be a part of. In 2022, I had my left leg amputated and since haven't been able to walk. But I still haven't given up, as Yah is making this come true. I take time to share with others I meet online, to share about the truth, and while being led by The Ruach HaKodesh, share with many people all over the world, who may have questions about how I now believe and follow our Messiah. I share with them about how to begin, and how to walk out their life 'in Spirit and in Truth'.
If any of you are interested in a weekly broadcast each Friday afternoon, on RUclips, Search for Messianic World Update. The weekly Torah teaching is Friday evening, and a couple of other programs are on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Blessings and Shalom to everyone all around the world ! 🖖
I needed to hear this today. The enemy has been trying to pull me away from Torah. As a messianic Jew there are traditions I don’t do because they are rabbinic not Torah. It’s about following Yeshua. My rabbi has the best saying “ the law without grace is death, grace without the law is chaos “
“ the law without grace is death, grace without the law is chaos “..... stolen.lol
@@theblackflag2020ditto! 😊
@@freedominchrist444 I still don’t understand how Yahweh’s law is viewed as bondage. He is our Creator and knows what is best for us.
@@radjarojas Read Romans ch 3, 4, 5 . Geez 🙄
@@radjarojas
His law is not grevious.
Amazing work of Yahuah!!! I’ve been on this walk since 2020 but nobody else in my family is with me. My husband says he is NOT Jewish! His father was a Protestant pastor and he thinks Im saying that his Godly parents are lost because they didn’t keep Torah. I can’t make him understand! 😥
It is not for us to water the seeds but plant. Yahuah will water in His timing🙏 My entire family are Catholic. Only my sons and my nephew and his family were led to follow His ways and feasts. 😊. Continue to have others see Yah in you😊💕❤️💕
@@BaruchHaShem777 keep praying. God is faithful. He will bring all things around according to his purpose and his grace. Keep following Yeshua. He said if you love me you will keep my commandments. Also said is the true worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth.
Because people reject the nature of God (which is Love )and because people think they can do anything to save themselves from their anti-Love nature or do anything to fix our minds and bodies that BY NATURE go against God-this is all fleshly stuff. Not what TMH God wants. He wants you to accept there’s nothing any human can do to fix these problems but accept Christ’s solution. You need to be born again with the spirit of Christ-a new spirit of Life-the old Law is death. “Keeping the law” will cause self righteousness now that He already came. Rely on God or rely on self ?
Hollisa Alwine had a good teaching on her channel this past Shabbat titled “The Filling Station” that may help and bless you. Perhaps you and your husband can watch it together.
🙏 Shalom
You might can help your father in law by showing him this scripture Numbers 15:22-26
It refers to the whole community not obeying the law (Torah) because of ignorance to it.
Numbers 15:29-31 explains the difference between the one who disobeys out of ignorance and the one who disobeys out of defiance.
YHWH always extends His loving kindness if we seek Him and obey.
There’s three positions.
1-Those living in disobedience (out of ignorance)
2 Those living in disobedience (out of rebellion)
3- Those “in” Obedience (through faith)
Matthew 5:19 is a good passage to read in regard to this. We see Jesus teaching Torah here. In vs 19 Yeshua isn’t saying it’s ok to not obey God’s law and if you decide not to, you’ll just be least in the kingdom. He’s referring to those that disobeyed in ignorance.
Read the next vs. Matthew 5:20
The Pharisees were pursuing their “own” law and rejecting YHWHs law. They knew YHWHs law but replaced it with their own law. They rejected YHWHs law by placing equal or higher value to it.
Here are a few more scriptures to consider.
Deuteronomy 4:2
Deuteronomy 12:32
Deuteronomy 6:25
Romans 3:22
Romans 10:6-8
In saying all of this, our family and friends who have faith in Christ but were in “ignorance” will still be resurrected at the last trumpet.
YHWHs love covers them. They are just called “The least”
However, YHWHs truth is reaching the ends of the earth. It is being taught and understood. His ways, His Torah must be obeyed.
We cannot reject it!
Yeshua is coming for a righteous people. Righteousness will enter the kingdom, not lawlessness.
I hope this helps.❤
Love your stance of open and honest communication and the balance and accountability. Our fellowship is called Grace and Truth. Please pray for unity and wisdom for our elders.
I'm amazed by this video. I didn't know this Torah movement was so strong in the United States. I'm from a messianic jewish congregation in Brazil and I tell you, it's super strong here. We have one additional factor that many of us descend from Portuguese sephardic jews.
It is very strong, particularly in the Southern and MidWestern USA.
This has to be the Holy Spirit. This video 'randomly' popped into my feed. I am currently in the process of planting a church and your guest's testimony is very parallel to mine. I am probably just a few years behind him.
May Abba Yah Bless and Keep you...
May your Assembly come to fruition...
Yes, it was timely for me. I was seeking confirmation from G-d as I wanted to move to another church.
Where?
@@Karen-k3x4f We have been planting a congregation in Downtown Los Angeles. We currently meet in a park.
Great testimony great advice. All we have is occasional house meetings...7 of us once every couple months ...one person and I meet weekly for Bible study on Sabbath but rarely does everyone come together...I so want community I so want others to worship and praise with I so want others to pray with..please please keep us in your prayers..this is a very lonely walk I've been doing it since 2005 mostly alone...
You've given me courage! I'm mostly alone too. You since 2005, me these past three years. A short time in eternity. Let's keep pressing in and delighting in what the Father has revealed to us (His Torah), though I know it is at times hard and lonely. Blessings Leona!
@@consideritalljoy7960 thank-you for the encouragement I'll keep you in my prayers
@leonadubois249 similar story here. My church is on-line -- Jaccob's Tent. Are we related?
@@sherrydubois6164no idea if we're blood relatives but we are definitely sisters...I'm in Saskatchewan Canada where are you?
@@leonadubois249 was kind of kidding about that.
This is me as a street preacher and a minster of God in a Christian church! And now Yah is killing me from the old way of thinking and serving Elohim! And i have been learning Torah and the feast HalleluYah
@Fearless444_77 Torah is for Israel only and those goy who live in the land have to follow a portion of it
Shabbat shalom
With all due respect the church is the body of Christ and belongs to Him and Abba alone not man. May Yahuah continue to show us His ways. Praise Him for bringing us back to the Torah. 🙏. Shabbat Shalom to all who follow Him😊💕❤️💕
What's this in reference to?
@@Living4YHWH the reference on title my church
Everyone's on the same page about that. "My church" just means "the church I attend" or in this case, "the church I pastor" :)
I wonder if a lot of people turning to his laws. A.k.a. Torah is the great awakening. We have been waiting for in the end times.
The Great revival of Lewis , in the Hebrides, also of Wales , was about repentance and Sabbath observance .First century believers , were Sabbath keepers , I hear THAT drum . I KNOW It's THE WAY . HIS WAY .
Yes this is not an easy walk, many will no longer want to fellowhip with you. It is a lonely walk but His presence, security and peace is worth it!
Shalom! I’m from upstate NY a and haven’t been able to find a messianic congregation here.. I found out about the messianic church back in 2018 when some videos of Roeh Dr Javier palacios popped on my feed and it has changed me because I always knew in my heart that there was more. I was a Catholic and I had felt the spiritual warfare that happens when you find the truth. I feel blessed because my eyes were open.
I live in the Hudson Valley and I began keeping the Sabbath in October 2023. I found two Messianic churches. One in Kingston and one in New City (Rockland County), NY
@@Vfrets I’m all the way in Morris by Cooperstown.. Haven’t been able to find one here
@@Vfrets Just subscribed to your channel.. 😀
@@TaraFarms1 Thank you dear!
Replacement theology has done an incredible job of confusing the mass of understanding being crafted in.
Luke, I was introduced to you through Michael Rood. My mom and i bought 10 of your books, I sat down with one pastor and left him your book. My cousin and her husband are reading it now. Pray for open minds as she trys disparately to share TRUTH with the church she's a part of. Cognizant dissonance is rampant in the church! I've seen it with my own eyes! Congratulations on your audiobook 😊 I know what an undertaking it is my 88-year-old mom is in production with hers❤ HalleluYAH!
We will pray! And thank you!! :)
Another blessed and annointed teacher from Israel. Dr. Baruch Korman. Wonderful ministry that has taught me the truth.May EloHim continue to reveal His truth to His Church! Amen
Great testimony, and what a blessing ive been without a fellowship physically and spend shabbat online virtually but as it turns out, corner fringe ministries is less than an hours drive from me
Did you go today? I watched online today and was so blessed.
@@scottbenzing1361 no but I did get in contact with them
Me as well! But I’m from Houston
Since 2012 I've brought this up to an extremely well known pastor here in Texas to switch. Requesting Shabbat service on Friday evening at least, in their chapel. Even his wife never responded. I sincerely hope that after I repost this on other Social media platforms, they will change their minds. This same pastor had a life long friend who has since past. Rabbi Sheinburg, he taught the ladies Bible study once a month , in the same chapel. Again, so happy to see you have indeed renewed your covenant with Aba YAHUAH
& king Yahoshua (Jesus).
Blessings to all, Shalom friends!
Shalom. I feel this story.
When the Ruach speaks it's clear!!
I love this testimony on so many levels! Praise Yahuah! All glory to the Most High!!🎉😊❤
38:18….because so many have fallen prey to a dispensational mindset/way of thinking. Only because that’s what so many were/are taught starting not so long ago.
This was awesome. Thank you so much. Pastor you had me crying like a baby. I love your guts and your heart. Shalom from Lutzville South Africa 🇿🇦
I love this pastor's story. I was so onto it and teared up a few times because of his passion for Yah's way. What he said about the men really stood out. I've felt the longing for community muself. We've been watching Grafted church with Lex online for the past two years and I want to be part of a congregation but there weren't any locally... Until recently I was led to one and Im so eager to start going. Its an hour away and I'm ready to make the change. It's not that I jave any desire to depart from Grafted whatsoever. But they don't know me, who I am, even though I know who they are, the leaders anyway. So obviously that's not real fellowship. Plus I have a teen who needs this real connection. He doesn't feel the same way I do, he wants to stay watching Grafted every Shabbat. He doesn't know what he's missing and if anyone is willing to pray for us, please pray my son will make the leap of faith with me. Thank you!
Praise God! Torah is life!!!!
Another amazing Torah teacher is Tom Bradford, Torah Class. His teaching is similar to Daniel Joseph........ who I also bing watch lol
Several months ago, my brother was going through divorce and coming out of the Jehovah's Witness religion. He was feeling lost and confused and asked for info about what I believe and "do." I sent him a copy of The Way DVD. I haven't gotten feedback, yet.
Praying for him!
Praying for the Lord’s work in his life.
Praying for your brother! Shabbat Shalom!
@freedominchrist444 Psalms 19:7-10 CSB
[7] The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. [8] The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up. [9] The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous. [10] They are more desirable than gold - than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.
The man asked his brother what he believes and does, I'm sure the gospel was part of that. The gospel is presented in The Way Documentary as well.
But it is a mistake to think the gospel isn't found in the Torah, Prophets and Writings.
Great interview! Corner Fringe is an excellent resource. I'm watching the series on Hebrews. The galatians series is amazing. Highly recommend.
Yes, Olive Branch Fellowship also
This is good Mike, Luke; the need for community, assembly, accountability . . . hearing you.
We are great friends with a Pastor in Upstate NY that did this very thing too. Chris Bergenn and The Living Word Chapel in West Hurley NY.
Pastor Mike- you may need deliverance to get rid of the shame of that event in your past. I lived in shame over things in my past for years and years and it wasn’t until I kicked the demon of shame to the curb, that I could get free. I bless you with freedom over the enemy to get free! Blessings to you and your bride! HalleluYah for your testimony!!!
Mabuhay! From the Philippine Islands. I think the next move of YHVH (besides now the Messianic/Hebrew Roots Movement) is (John4:23,24) “Spirit & Truth Movement” for the Father seek such to worship Him.”
Shabbat was stablished during creation, way before the Torah and should be kept inspite of the Torah, only because God himself made it holy.
Yes - the 7th day Sabbath was set apart for all time at the very beginning. The Torah was also established at the very beginning, through picture and pattern. The 10 commands were later written in stone for the Hebrews to remind them to keep the instructions because they had strayed into ways of disobedience. The Hebrews (Judah/ Israel/Jews), were chosen to be a light to the nations , which is why Our Creator has been very strict, setting before them choices of blessings or curses etc. The Ten Commands were given for them to share with all who choose to follow the Elohim of Abraham Isaac and Jacob..... just as Ruth did. The 10 commands will be written on our hearts as we meditate on His Word and follow His instructions.
@@Keithphysics ok, you basically just repeated what I said. I know the Bible stories.
@@joyelle7578 answer is not necessarily just for you ;)
@@Keithphysics than you should not answer my comment, but make a separate comment. When you answer a comment you are engaging in what that person wrote.
Yes , holy , sanctified it, but it’s also the sign , the seal of a true follower of God .
Matthew 5: 17-19 also Exodus 20. I you follow all the laws, why would you leave out the 7th day Sabbath? SHALOM SHALOM! Welcome to the THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE IN YAHSHUA HAMASHIACH!
Praise God !! Our Father in heaven- through Jesus Christ.
J.C. is catholic.
This is so helpful in bringing clarity in my own journey
I was surprised to see the guest is from a church not too far from me. 😊
Very cool to see Pastor Mike on here! I guess you could call today's episode, "the Epic Life podcast" ;)
This is great! Obeying Hem wil be rewarded!
Sometimes these things are done in vanity to feed the self righteousness of man but a surrendered heart that is obedient to God is a beautiful work of the Lord to inspire many. Only God truly knows the heart of a person but one thing is clear that when Jesus is lifted up the value mankind is also. ❤
This interview has brought me so much Joy. My husband is so far from Yah. He says the same things. I’m not Jewish. My Yahweh will provide. I would love the link to your wife’s teaching on praying for your kids and husband. Thank you for sharing your story.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. John 1:14-18
I live about 40 minutes from Terrell in Ferris TX....this guy making me want to go to his church!
Praise God from a fellow Sabbath keeper.
A breath of fresh air is permeating the Christians today. They are finally seeing that we MUST combine the grace given us at Calvary with the Torah, YHVH'S instruction on how to live a Holy lifestyle. Isaiah 8:20 prophesied this.
" To the law ( Torah ) and the testimony of it ( YHVH'S plan of salvation through His Son as seen in the Feasts of the Lord ) if they speak not according to this there is NO LIGHT in them."
I love this. Where can I find this verse?
@@Vfrets Isaiah 8:20. The Feasts of the Lord can be found in Leviticus 23. Yeshua/Jesus is the living Torah. He is the Word made flesh. John 1:1-18
He was with the Father before the foundation of the earth. John 8:58 and 17:5
That is amazing.
One of the next steps could be to look into biblical callings and leave titles of the religious world, like senior pastor, behind.
But everyone has their own journey. Amazing either way ❤
Intro alone gave me chills Hallelujah ❤ all glory be to Yah
Been enjoying the videos much so we watch Nathan Lawrence a lot idk u guys knew him but seen him on here in the past but anyhow he had nothing but good word about you n ur fam! He's so balanced we like him much ! This minister is awesome as well !! Ty for all u do for Torah community !!!! 🕎
Welcome! Baruch h'shem for it!
Im in Barstow California i realy long for this comuity ive had Ye'shua bring me to the way of Torah Sabath. I admit i dont know enough
Galatians 3.10: All who rely on the works of the law are under a curse.
Messianic Church Arising Volume 2 by Dr. Miles Jones. Best book I have ever read. I have read it 3 times!
So moved to hear this story! These accounts well up within me, such a powerful emotion of both joy and tears at the same time!😂
The timing, the shaking,...this is the latter day journey; the exodus ; exodus, through the wilderness-
But much of this generation of scattered Israel, are 1st experiencing it in a more spiritual way instead of literal- nevertheless it is no less trying!
Keep going and don't look back!
Yahs word His Torah; his tenahk is the water- and spoken from out of the anointing - it is fire!
The wicked are as dry chaff; dry straw that can't be anywhere near it or it will immediately ignite! The ONLY ones that can endure it are those who know Yah and know him through his Torah; through his Tenahk-
Then, we become as water! And water can't burn!
Paster, there is sooooo much more!
Read the psalms- outloud while also listening to them sung ( sons of korah) is one band among several who sing every psalm- Yah will show you amazing things out of psalms!
Also, if you aren't already doing it this way; i encourage you to read the Torah aloud, each week during shabbat service-
Something happens when we do it this way-
I can't explain it, you must experience it-
Shalom Dear Brother- I will keep you, your family and your congregation in my prayers-
Praise Yahweh. This blessed seekers of Truth which is so missing. Grace and Peace to you and the people of GOD. 🙌🙌🙌
I'm with you 100 percent. I've come into this revelation and with the name Yeshua the Hamashick. My brother in the Lord is doing the same thing. We are being battled against by denomanational churches.
I've moved to Torah as well, I just wish I could find more folks to study the Bible together in Florida.
Wow your church is my prayer I sit in isolation waiting I can it’s hard as I’ve lost many people in my life
This was very edifying! I pray this testimony catches fire and people see the truth in scripture that obeying YHWHs law (Torah) is necessary for righteous living.
Great resource is KINGDOM IN CONTEXT.
I’m most grateful for his teachings. It brought me to the truth of Torah and the WHOLE Bible. ❤
Thank you for sharing this testimony!
Praise YHWH!
Just found your channel. What a great testimony this was.
i am a Sabbath-keeper. it's so wonderful to hear of others who are finding this truth. there are only 9 vs. in the whole of scripture that mention the 1st day of the week, and 1 that refers to it as the day after the Sabbath after Passover when the wave sheaf was offered. in none is there any intimation that it is a holy day unto the Lord. it's sad to me to hear when people, even in the light of much bible evidence, and historical evidence of how an attempt to change it was made, and the world followed, and truth is still rejected. i know not how many times, hearing these words, "well i see your point but it doesn't agree with my spirit" i've wanted to ask if your spirit doesn't agree with the words of scripture, should you stop and think what is tht spirit? but i hold back, by God's grace, praying that the Holy Spirit will bring the conversation back to their remembrance at just the right time. we are, if Christ is in us, the seed of Abraham, he is a Jew who is one , not outwardly, according to the flesh, but one inwardly, not circumcision of the flesh, but inwardly, of the heart (meaning life) many have no problem with the other 9, just the 4th, claiming it is a shadow of better things, meaning rest in Jesus. James 2 give us this lesson, if we break one, we have broken them all for we are a transgressor of the law. 1John 3:4 whoever commits sin transgresses the law, for sin is the transgression of the law and Paul vindicates this in Romans 7:7 "what shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. i would not have know sin but by the law. for i would not have known lust had the commandment not said "thou shalt not covet." "do we then make void the law thru faith? God Forbid, we establish the law." (establish: ἵστημι

A prolonged form of a primary word στάω staō (of the same meaning, and used for it in certain tenses); to stand (transitively or intransitively), used in various applications (literally or figuratively): - abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up). Compare G5087.) Paul says the carnal mind is at enmity with the law, so does Christ keep us at enmity with His law? isn't that what the new birth is, to no longer be at enmity with God and His law? it does my heart well to find others who take the time to really study God's word, knowing if they purpose to follow the truths revealed within, they will find it.
When you said you start to lose truth once you come to truth (paraphrasing) it resonates with my journey. It's about not going too far to the left or to the right. Always working out our salvation with and sltrembling. And staying humble in our learning.
And because God is order, like you said men sense there's lacking. Men strive on order but nobody is guiding the church in this with the foundations. It's all surface level
I wonder if ya'll have heard Ray Vander Laan speaking on what he learned from studying the Jewish culture. Absolutely blew my mind how the Hebrew Bible written in a Hebrew culture makes sense to the teachings during Jesus time.
My family left our non-denom church of 10 years last year. It was due to a number of issues. Through Gods leading we had already been visiting a local MJ synagogue for about the last 6 months we were at the church. I had a couple of meetings with the church leaders near the end. Real issues with things had pushed several long time members to leave. It was actually very painful and sad. In the last meeting I was confronted about our visiting the MJ synagogue. I told the truth. I was interested in learning more about the Jewish roots, needed to learn from someone and they have been very helpful. Meeting didn’t go well. I wanted the church and synagogue to build a bridge and do some things together. That was obviously not part of the church leaderships plan. I was told directly to not invite anyone from the church to the synagogue. It was just disappointing. I lasted a few more months at the church hoping things would change. My wife had already stopped going and was only attending the synagogue. After I left we went through the synagogue membership class and joined. It’s been over a year and we know this was the right move for us. Things aren’t perfect there, don’t expect them to be. We are in a fallen world after all. The new perspective of the New Testament seen through Torah has been amazing. Going from Sunday to Shabbat was not the big switch I thought it might be and saying Yeshua or Jesus is acceptable at our synagogue. I enjoy the liturgy and God focused worship music vs the often me focused music I was accustomed to in the church.
Powerful testimony! My grandson saw brother Mike and said, “that’s Papa” (me). We have similar beards.
Awesome testimony brother
There are many Torah pursuant congregations in Texas now. It is so encouraging to see.
🙏 for you leadership that they receive discipleship in Torah for a minimum of 3 years (as modeled by Messiah Yeshua’s disciples and Paul) so as not to lead the congregation astray.
Shalom 🎉 What a beautiful testimony. The blood of Yeshua without Torah = Conventional Christianity and that is a corruption of the teaching of Yeshua.
Now we see how after the breaking of bread Paul preached all night.
Please pray that High Street Baptist chuch in Columbus ohio comes to YHWH, the Torah, commandments, the sabbath and His feast days.
Our pasts are lessons and Yah let them happen for a reason and like my past I feel I can be a testimony to others and help change others and stop them from sinning. Even if it’s Support, they needed to hear for that minute and plant seeds and let Yah water.
Thank you "The Life Podcast". we love what you are doing. remember, try to get Tom Bradford. And especially Daniel Joseph... perfect.
Messianic Church Arising - i believe that is Chuck Pierce and Robert Heidler ! great book.
Thank you. Coming from Judaism into Christianity I understood Yeshua was the Way, but none of the church teachings (am in a 'bible believing' evangelical church with my wife) were lining up with Torah. After looking closely at Paul I found he was teaching Torah. However, by ignoring basic sentence structure and glancing over the text he is turned into this liberal do as you will teacher. Yes, I am rather alone in this and occasionally find myself against my wife and everyone, but I 'tolerate' the church I am in and practice as I should no matter what anyone may say. I clicked on this by chance, and found those I listen to he is in touch with as well!!!
2010 I left the building after being in it 40 years. I left b/c I wanted to find out what the real deal was supposed to be. Since 1977 I had eaten clean meat. So now, I’m full Torah (of course with faith in Messiah, Yeshua).
I find a lot of folks get into rabbinic tradition. Why?
Im thinking because its new to many and they come under the assumption that the Jews have it figured out and know more so they follow along. Or simply because they dont know how to walk out Torah and they see others already doing so by their traditions
HalleluYah!
this was beautiful had me in tears a bit 😢
We must all be careful that what we are running with is not the crumb instead of the loaf.
Romans 14:5
“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.”
King James Version (KJV)
We are seeing small Messianic groups here in Oklahoma who want power and control over the people, we believe it to be satanic and the groups don't survive, they've lost focus on what's most important. We have suffered through two attempts to take us over going from over 100 people down to nine, but Father keeps working and we are gradually building back, slowly and we have learned some difficult lessons, most importantly that Yah is in control and we must listen to Him. Praise Yah that He is there for us!
We are in south Bixby and have never found a community of Torah believers that are not trying to bring this clergy/laity hated system into their new understanding of Torah. It's sad.
@@bmjjjjawhat do you mean? I’m asking for true understanding not being rude. Thanks.
@@netzerNCG Yeshua says not to organize like the Pharisees who "lord over." He says not to take or give titles to each other because we "are all brothers." He says the nicolaitan system is hated and demands repentance of it. Nico means "victory over" and laity means "people." Then Paul said not to cover your head (metaphor for placing an authority over you) or you dishonor your Head who is Christ. All of this attempts to mimic the levitical priesthood and assume authority over others but it is NOT to be done. The only authority in our gatherings is Christ and the Holy Spirit leads. That is the only way "everyone" (as 1Cor 14 says) uses their own gifts "when you come together." This is not optional; it is the way it's supposed to be! In fact, to place someone in charge or have only one guy give a sermon, is a complete denial of all that Yeshua said. Two or three are to prophecy and then EVERYONE ELSE is to carefully examine right then and there PUBLICLY, what was said. The plum line is Torah. So no single sermon given by a speaker unless one or more come behind him to confirm/correct and then everyone else in the crowd does the same. That way it is TORAH that has the final word and the group attempts to understand TORAH and EVERYONE PARTICIPATES.
What is being done now is duplicating catholicism with a guy speaking and a quiet audience. That's not allowed. We do not have a levitical system any longer. Yeshua is our priest and His authority comes from what the Word of God says. Elders and deacons, if they are biblically sound, KNOW they have no authority and KNOW not to assume they do. THEY DON'T PUT A TITLE BEFORE THEIR NAME. They have experience and knowledge of Torah from their obvious life of study and they SERVE.
If we actually insisted on this type of organization where everyone participates, people would be forced to mature and speak up. They would be forced to get into the Word, study it and speak or examine from what Yah has taught them. In fact, the only teacher is YHVH just as the new covenant says. It is really disgusting to see the nicolaitan system brought over into supposedly Torah believing Christians. How about actually DO what the Bible says? There's a novel idea. Don't stay a minute longer in a gathering that ignores Christ's words or around a pastor who doesn't get it. He is doing nothing but serving himself and gets others to follow along.
Easier said than done. No good shabbat churches around here. Love your testimony
Start your own with a few like believers. You don't need a certificate to teach truth. You just need truth in your mind to flow from your mouth, spreading the word of Yahuah!
Church???? This word identifies with the Catholic organization. They consider themselves the 'head' of all churches who continue in their practices and 'holi-days.'
Paul also got me and my family to torah. Rom 3v30 and 31
1:21:59 We mix our worship in our Shabbat services too. Messianic oriented worship music combined with some Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, etc.
Baruch HaShem!
