The Torah Portion for this week lays out for us the 8 Moedim. These are the Eight Appointed Times of The LORD G-D from Vayikra (Leviticus) 23. They were established for us from ‘The Beginning’: (from www.studylight.org) The word moed comes from the word yâ‛ad meaning ‘to meet’. The two letter root is ayin-dalet, can be expressed as ‘see […]

Arrogance Is Not Holy Reverence
Arrogance is far from The Holy Reverence of ADONAI <– and that is where WISDOM manifests. First, DEFINE REVERENCE – especially how G-D Himself defines it. That will take some time, searching and thought. Now, differentiate between King Messiah’s Reverence and worldly reverence (or fear). What or who have you ‘lifted and admired’ above ADONAI […]
The ‘Gentle and Quiet’ Spirit
This verse in 1 Peter 3:3-4 always bothered me: ‘Your adornment must not be merely external – braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry and putting on dresses, But let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit which is precious in the sight of […]
Discipleship TRAINING?
Disciples, we are GATHERED here today to get through this thing called…LIFE. You. Student. Ingathering. I have a question for you. After you have gone to church or attended a Bible study, do you experience RESTORATION within and without? Or does it feel like a waste of your time due to a lack of real […]
‘And G-d said’ Concerning Image and Likeness
‘And G-d said, Let Us make humankind in Our tzelem (image), after Our demut (likeness)…’ ~ Genesis 1:26 Today’s Purpose: ‘To WALK in my predestination to be CONFORMED to the PREEMINENT IMAGE of Yeshua’. (SEE Romans 8:29) When The Ruach HaKodesh guides us to a deeper understanding of The Word, we begin to detest the […]
‘It is Written’
Just because we ‘have’ The Holy Spirit of G-d does not mean we live by The Holy Spirit of G-d. To LIVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT is to LIVE in submission to The Seven-fold Spirit of G-d Who produces a DIVINE NINE described Fruit (Galatians 5). To CHOOSE to live otherwise, as a nominal ‘believer’, […]
Worshipers of Spirit And Truth 🔥 Shavuot/Pentecost 🔥
The account of The Giving of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 would have been magnificently monumental to those there celebrating the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) that glorious day in Jerusalem. For them, they would have understood what was happening as a prophetic fulfillment from their prophets Jeremiah (ch. 31) and Ezekiel (ch. 11/36)…’The New […]
Just Do It = VICTORY
We KEEP ourselves enslaved when we RESIST the HELP of G-d’s Spirit of Truth – in the form of a Text or a Person. Your VICTORY is at stake… WHY are you RESISTING His HELP? Do you understand the Truth behind ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock’? THIS is a message to […]
Mereas Beit Midrash
The following is the introductory session of our women’s small group Bible fellowship. It might be helpful as you begin to study the Hebraic roots of our faith in the context of a group of like-minded Sisters in the Mashiach! Shalom aleichem! The Meaning Behind ‘Merea’ Bid the older women similarly to be reverent and […]
Sanctified by Word OR Conformed to World?
Mereas, have you been introduced to the Truth of your personal sanctification? Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (James 4:4) Slow down James! That’s a little harsh, don’tcha think? I don’t […]
