Hey Hyssop and ImAHebrew!

[ROVIVRUS]

I want to know who's going to wash X's feet this year?

Maybe you could all stand in line and take turns.

OR maybe X and H could wash each other's feet.

PASSOVER

If you are talking about PASSOVER:

1 Corinthians 2:10
YHWH has revealed it to us by HIS SPIRIT. HOLY SPIRIT searches all things, even the deep things of YHWH. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of YHWH except the SPIRIT of YHWH. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but HOLY SPIRIT who is from YHWH, that we may understand what YHWH has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by HOLY SPIRIT, expressing HOLY SPIRIT TRUTH in HOLY SPIRIT WORDs. 14 The man without HOLY SPIRIT does not accept the things that come from the SPIRIT of YHWH, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The man, with HOLY SPIRIT, makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment

Genesis to Revelation
ONE GOD
ONE SPIRIT
ONE PEOPLE

I have found that I have a relationship with YHWH. My relationship was started by HIM with HIS SALVATION through MESSIAH YESHUA and, now, I know that I should nurture it everyday with HIS WORD in action.

HE SPEAKS to me as I read HIS WORD.

In the "churches" I have been to, they questioned my putting the TWO Books of the COVENANT as ONE BOOK. I questioned the things they weren’t doing.

There are things in the First Book of the COVENANT that were not being followed by the "new testament churches". I was told that those were things followed by the Jews.

The only Jews I had read about, in the COVENANT BOOKs, were from the Tribe of YEHUDAH and/or the country YEHUDAH. YHWH's PEOPLE were called Hebrews and/or ISRAEL. The Jews were the of the Tribes of YEHUDAH and BENJAMIN after the exile of the Ten Tribes under EPHRAIM.

They told me I was a "gentile". In the COVENANT BOOKs, "gentiles” were unbelievers. I AM a BELIEVER.

They told me I was not a Jew and that I shouldn’t follow OLD COVENANT ways.
I AM not a Jew. I AM not a gentile. I AM a SON of Abraham ------- a SON of YHWH.

I was told the "church" had it's own celebrations. Many were not in the COVENANT BOOKs.

YHWH’s SPIRIT, in me, decided to follow HIS WORD.
Some people said that I was following the YHWH’s WORD too literally.
I wanted to.

In my house, we follow and celebrate what YHWH says because we are SAVED by HIM. YHWH is our GOD and we follow no one and nothing else.
LITERALLY!!!

Isaiah 45:17 But ISRAEL will be saved by YHWH with an everlasting SALVATION; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting.
ISA 45:18 For this is what YHWH says—HE who created the heavens,
HE is GOD; HE who fashioned and made the earth, HE founded it;
HE did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited--
HE says: "I AM YHWH, and there is no other.
ISA 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob's descendants, `Seek ME in vain.'
I, YHWH, speak TRUTH; I declare what is right.
ISA 45:20 "Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save.
ISA 45:21 Declare what is to be, present it--let them take counsel together.
Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past?
Was it not I, YHWH? And there is no GOD apart from ME,
a RIGHTEOUS GOD and a SAVIOR; there is none but ME.

ISA 45:22 "Look to ME and be SAVED, all you ends of the earth;
for I AM YHWH, GOD, and there is no other.

1Samuel 15:29 HE who is the GLORY of ISRAEL does not lie or change HIS MIND;
for HE is not a man, that HE should change HIS MIND."

Psalm 119:89 YOUR WORD, YHWH, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
PS 119:90 YOUR FAITHFILNESS continues through all generations;
YOU established the earth, and it endures.

Proverbs 30:5 "Every WORD of YHWH is flawless;
HE is a shield to those who take refuge in HIM.
PR 30:6 Do not add to HIS WORDs, or HE will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

John 14:19 Before long, the world will not see ME anymore, but you will see ME. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I AM in ABBA, and YOU are in ME, and I AM in YOU. 21 Whoever has MY COMMANDs and obeys them, HE is the ONE who LOVEs ME. HE who loves ME will be loved by ABBA, and I too will love HIM and show MYSELF to HIM."
JN 14:22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, MASTER, why do YOU intend to show YOURSELF to US and not to the world?"
JN 14:23 YESHUA replied, "If anyone loves ME, HE will obey MY TEACHing. ABBA will LOVE HIM, and WE will come to HIM and make HOME with HIM. 24 He who does not LOVE ME will not obey MY TEACHing. This WORD YOU hear is not MY OWN; WORD belongs to YHWH who sent ME.

In my house, WE are SAVEd!!!
WE follow YHWH’s WORD (Genesis to Revelation)!!!

YOU are HIS PLAN in YOUR LIFE and those around YOU.
Read HIS WORD and Find YOU!!!

ONE cannot stay the way ONE is
and go with YHWH.

Saved?

Hi Israelthebride,

Thank you for the encouragement! I am curious about you also! How have you been saved and what have you been saved from?

Sincerely, Spying

[israelthebride]

SAVED!!!

Hello,
Spying

I have been SAVED by YHWH"S SALVATION, through MESSIAH YASHUA.
I AM now submitting
to YHWH's SPIRIT and HIS WORD (Genesis to Revelation).

I was my worst enemy.
I have been SAVED from myself.

The only way YHWH’s POWER will be shown in this world
is by YHWH working with weak, limited, ordinary,
and submissive ONE’s.

[Spying]

Weak!

Hi Israelthebride,

And I am very happy that you are here. You have answered wisely again. I also have a sense that the enemy is me, but I am still working or rather I am a work in progress through Messiah Yahushua to overcome the enemy "me"!

What of the other enemies sin and death? Have you overcome them? If so, how?

I see that you also have discovered that among YAHWEH ELOHIM that the weak are strong. Messiah said and Paul wrote about his weakness in this manner:

2 Cor 12:9-10
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Messiah may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Messiah's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. KJV)

I am curious as to how and why one is strong when one is weak? I think that I have an idea (we are one), but I would like to hear your understanding in this area should you be so kind to share and be questioned.

May you have a good day and week!

Sincerely, Spying

[israelthebride]

Questions?

I AM not wise. Only ABBA YHWH is wise.
I do not have wise answers. YHWH's SPIRIT in ME is WHO has all the answers.
I listen to what ABBA says, also, as HE SPEAKS through ME.
I do what HE DOES.

Questions are one of the best weapons WE have against evil.

HOS 4:6 MY PEOPLE are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
"Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as MY PRIESTs;
because you have ignored the LAW of your GOD,
I also will ignore your children.

How is ONE STRONG when ONE is weak?

YHWH told ME awhile back that I was going to be HIS STALLION. I pictured a beautiful white horse with YHWH GOD on the STALLION.
Next thing I knew, I was going through the most difficult times in my life. Everything was going wrong. I was losing all my confidence. I was losing all my "want to do". Everywhere I turned, it seemed like I would run into a "wall". It seemed like I had no direction in my life. Nothing was going my way.
The demons would crawl up on me and shout in my ear, "You are not HIS STALLION!!!" "Are you sure you heard from GOD?" "You don't even know what you are doing." "You are nothing!!!"
I realized that I was nothing. How could a "nothing" do anything for GOD?

I had nothing for YHWH.

I cried out to YHWH, "ABBA, ABBA, ABBA!!!!!!! What is happening to me! I cannot be YOUR STALLION because I AM too weak and afraid. Let me just do the work with the children."
(At that time I was working in a Children's Home and was really proud of my work. I did really well there.)
"Just let me work with the children. I'll bring them to YOU. I will teach them YOUR WORD."

YHWH approached ME and settled in ME. HE said, "YOU are MY STALLION."

I was broken.

YHWH never asks ONE what ONE wants to do for YHWH.
It is more important to find out what YHWH is doing where ONE is
and join HIM.

WE are YHWH’s SERVANTS.
WE adjust our lives to what HE is doing.
WE adjust our lives to HIS PLAN.

YHWH has not changed.
HE still speaks to HIS PEOPLE.

Thank you, for listening.
WE are ONE because YHWH says so!!!

[Spying]

Giddap!

Hi Israelthebride,

If you hear YAHWEH ELOHIM, and if He speaks through you, and if you do as He does, then you are indeed wise:

Dan 12:10
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (KJV)

In the early 80's the Tzaddikim began to celebrate the new moons each month. After two men would sight the new crescent, we would communicate that sighting to the group. During those months in which the sun sets earlier in the evening, we would as a group drop all worldly pursuits and assemble for song service and discussion the same evening in which we sighted the new moon. During the summer months, we would assemble the next evening before sunset. Thus, new moon gatherings are very inconvenient eventhough New Moon was not considered a Sabbath Day by us as it is by some like William. For us, this was a very informal gathering. Often we came in our work clothes because we would be gathering from work. The discussion at the celebration generally revolved around our children. They were our focus at our celebration. It was, and it still is our hearts desire that our children come to a knowledge of the truth. We knew that the new moon is a shadow (Col. 2:17), and at each new moon we would collectively ask our children what the new moon is a shadow of? They would respond as we had taught them in one voice:

God's People!

As the years progressed, none of our children became a part of our Assembly. It is like we have raised them to give them back to the world. Being Ammi (AMY), the children did not hear. Perhaps, they shall hear being Lo Ammi.

I think that we have experienced the same demon. Mine does come and speak saying:

Spying, you are not going to enter the kingdom of ELOHIM!

The child in me often repeated his words. The man in me has learned to reply with these words: Oh yes, I will!

Don't children like to ride horses? Giddap!

Sincerely, Spying

The Children

YHWH has not changed.
HE still speaks to HIS PEOPLE.
____________________________________________________

Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go
and when he is old he will not turn from it.

I see the children.
I see it in their eyes.
I see the hunger.
They don't know or realize,
That the only thing that's true;
Is YHWH's SPIRIT in you.
Cause in this world there's nothing, but lies.

Believe in YHWH
Is what they hear us say.
But, then we go on
And we do things our own way.
The children see the sin,
So on us, they can't depend.
When they see that lie; everyday.

Children cannot lie
Until they learn just how and why.
And children can forgive
Until they see how we live.

Cause we are what they see
And we are what they know.
How dare we tell them how to live
When we don't show;
That YHWH is our KING
And every thought and deed is HIM.
Let's face the children
And show them that it's so.
Cause YHWH trusted us
To help HIS CHILDREN grow.


DT 6:4 Hear, O ISRAEL: YHWH, our GOD, YHWH is ONE. 5 Love YHWH, your GOD, with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These COMMANDMENTs that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.

All of YHWH’s COMMANDs are an expression of HIS NATURE-------LOVE. When HE gives US a COMMAND, HE is not restricting US; HE is freeing US!!!


7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

What you do and how you are reveals what you believe about YHWH; regardless of what you say. It's an everyday thing.
You can tell everyone what is right, but until they see it; it will not get learned.


8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Whatever YHWH says is LAW.
Make your hands follow HIS LAW.
Let HIS LAW be all you think; all the time.
Let nothing else come into YHWH's HOUSE--into YOU.


WE are YHWH's BODY.
WE are YHWH's HOUSE.
WE are YHWH's TEMPLE.
WE are where YHWH lives and will live forever.
YHWH did not create US for a certain time.
HE created US for eternity.

WE are ONE!!!

Wow!

Hi Israelthebride,

Just a brief comment for now. What a wonderful ride! Rovivus is going to love your poem!

Thanks, Spying

[ROVIVRUS]

Israelthebride,

Yes, my dad was right. I do really like your poem. I commend anyone who remembers to remember the children. It seems many people often forget that each child will one day be an adult, and we powerfully influence their lives anytime we interact with them. My dad gave the example of the Church asking the kids questions during the new moon celebrations. And as one of those children, I must tell you that if it wasn’t for the new moon, their would not have been any focus on us. And I have to be honest that during the new moons when we were questioned and all answering at once--I felt kind of like a robot. Anyway, the sermons at church were so often over our heads and we were not interested nor engaged by hardly any of them growing up. When I say we, I speak for myself and most of my siblings and my closest cousins. You see, the treatment that the Church as a whole (not including my parents) is giving to those of us who have been abused by X is an extension and a perfect example of how children were regarded in our Church growing up. I guess what I want to add to what you wrote was that not only should you talk to your children about Yah, you should talk to them about much more than that. If your conversations are limited to teaching them things that took you yourself 25-30 years to learn than they probably aren’t listening or understanding. So things should be kept simple. Also, your poem reminded me of “do as I say, not as I do”. That pretty much wraps up Uncle X in a phrase. When I think of my young cousins being gone, away in their “prison” I am reminded of a particular weekend of last year. On a Friday night X’s children are required to stay home to observe the Sabbath, as we were all required to do. Well one weekend after observing the Sabbath, X went out to a strip club with his buddy on a Saturday night. Everyone found out about it, including his kids. Now I know I have brought this up before, but I mention it for another reason this time. We can all imagine how much X’s kids are confused about “right” and “wrong”. They have been told time and time again the “sin” it is to break the Sabbath, or to eat pepperoni. And they have a father who…….

Anyway, I could go on and on. You have very good ideas and I think you said you work with children. I would love to hear more. Finally I will ask a question to everyone reading that I ask often when I speak about children and when I write about them. Take a look at your own family, are the children at the back of the line or at the front of the line when food is served to a large number of people? How does your family regard children?

Peace,
Rovivrus

YHWH's LAW

ROVIVRUS,

I have learned, as YOU will, that YHWH's LAW frees me.

When I was sinning, I planned my whole life around my sin. All my time and expenses were planned around my sin.

It doesn't matter what sin it was-------sin is sin. The choice of a liar to continue lying is at the same apartness from YHWH as a homosexual choosing to continue living a homosexual lifestyle.
No difference.

Sin will make ONE a slave.

Now, YHWH's LAW, gives US the freedom to choose to follow it. YOU are free to choose to follow YHWH's LAW.
____________________________________________________

This world defines "freedom" as being able to do anything you want, at anytime you want no matter what. YOU start living that way and YOU become a slave to that lifestyle.
YOU will never be satisfied no matter how far YOU go.

"Freedom" to me means, being able to choose to do the right thing and doing it.
I AM FREE!!! And I have chosen to be!!!

People will make fun of your freedom to do the right thing. They call it "weak".
It is so easy to push people out of the way.
It is so easy to hurt people.
It is so easy to forget about people.
It is so easy to kill people.
These are the things they call "strong".

It takes "strength" to do the right thing and to take care of people, but YOU have to submit to YHWH.
Believe me. WE are not capable of "caring".
The "love" that WE are able to give each other is a self-righteous feeling that WE tend to crave. It gratifies our needs.

LOVE is:
Treating another good and right
(YHWH's LOVE in US)
No matter how I feel and
No matter what I think.
That is LOVE. TRUE LOVE.
Once YOU act in YHWH's LOVE, then YOU get the TRUE FEELING of LOVE.
The feeling comes afterward; not before.

These are general thoughts.
If you have any questions and don't mind my answers,
please ask.

My children are my "JEWELS".
I live to be copied.
In YHWH's LOVE,
RICOEL
