Ma Nishma ? (What’s up?)
November 26th, 2005It’s been awhile since my last post, but I haven’t been slacking and have a lot of good news. (No, I did not switch to Geico) First on the list, Adonai has freed me from a burden; for the first time I have paid off a car! (That I still own) I’m praying it will last another five years as I am thrilled to be free of the $450/month car payment.
Next on the “give Elohim the glory list” is more along the witnessing line. Erik and I have been teaching about Torah and The Moed’im (Appointed Times/Annual Sabbaths/ Feast Days) to a Seventh Day Adventist church. We were informed by the head-elder, after many months of wondering who was getting it, that they would put together a core team of people to meet weekly and hear/learn what we have to say. This is truly a prayer answered! Barukh HaShem! This core team includes the pastor, elders and some others. This is a wonderful testament to His Truth and the power of “Line upon line, precept upon precept” of Scriptural support. We are to start after the beginning of the [Roman] new year (January 1st). Unfortunately this means they will still be decorating the church and celebrating Catholicism’s pagan-originated practice of Christmas (Christ’s Mass); one of the Anti-Messiah’s false “Holy Days” (Dani’El 7:25). However, all things in due time — we must focus on the Passover vs. Easter delusion now as that is the next pagan [papal] “High Holy Day” passed on to her daughters. (Rev. 7:25)
The Torah (His Law) has changed my life! The Scriptures make more sense than at any point in my life and have caused me to shake off the paganism taught to me most of my life. The gaping holes in nearly every Pastor’s sermons stick out like sore thumbs. (Though I love them no less.) I have seen more people starting to keep the seventh-day Sabbath and all of the Sabbaths. I’ve seen Christians finally understand Acts 15 and that they should not be eating blood, pork, shrimp, etc. I have seen people make the decision to turn away from lives contrary to His will. I have watched as Christians learn and understand that His Torah (Law) is a blessing and The Law was never, in all of Scripture called a curse. They understand that to speak or even think negatively of Adonai’s Law or the want to keep it, speaks negatively of Him! (After all, He gave it, wrote it on their hearts and He said He would write it on yours!) It has been humbling. I had previously asked (and still do) to be a tool for Adonai and I now understand the power of that and know the responsibility. I am truly blessed to experience change in His children.
Adonai has further blessed me with financial support through His children (One who has also become a great friend.) to finally get 5twenty8 going. (Accepting donations has been something I have trouble with, but I pray Adonai refine me to His Will.) This is the reason I have been absent from posting.
I have been redesigning the main 5twent8 site. The foundation is being laid to distribute video, 528Cast (podcast), articles and books, Bible Studies, etc. I’m so thrilled and thankful for what has begun. I am about 75% completed with the site and hope to launch the new site soon. Please, please, pray for the 5twenty8 team (Myself, Erik, Christin, David) to be strengthened. The adversary will always try to stop Truth from going out; including tempting, distracting and deceiving the messengers. We need your prayers!
This blog will become simply my personal site while 5twenty8 becomes the teaching platform. The forums of 5twenty8 will stay in place and I hope that the readers of this blog continue to stop by.
Shalom. (Peace)
