Why I Don’t Eat Pork

Many people are taught that Jesus/Yeshua declared all animals clean and are currently fit for human consumption.  However, if we really take a closer look and examine this not only Scripturally, but logically, we will find out that this is simply not true.

I understand that this may be a difficult area for some, however I hope that in reading this, it may prompt you to do further research and most importantly seek out the Father humbly in prayer.  May this also be an encouragement to others who have been revealed this truth, and also glorify our King and Saviour, Yeshua/Jesus.

Offense: The Bait of Satan

Matthew 24:10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.(KJV)

The word offended is derived from a Greek word skandalon:

1.) 4625 skándalon – properly, the trigger of a trap (the mechanism closing a trap down on the unsuspecting victim); (figuratively) an offense, putting a negative cause-and-effect relationship into motion.

2.) 4625 /skándalon (“the means of stumbling”) stresses the method (means) of entrapment, i.e. how someone is caught by their own devices (like their personal bias, carnal thinking).

3.) [“4625 (skándalon) is the native rock rising up through the earth, which trips up the traveler, hence, of Jesus the Messiah, to the Jews who refused him” (Souter); “properly, the bait-stick of a trap, a snare, stumbling-block” (Abbott-Smith); “the stick in the trap that springs and closes the trap when the animal touches it” (WP, 1, 46).] https://biblehub.com/greek/4625.htm

Baptism of Fire and the Gift of Tongues-My Testimony

The gift of speaking in tongues is very real, just like all other gifts of the Spirit, and brings edification not only to the individual, but others within the Body of Messiah. I find it to be a wonderful gift, especially during times of difficulty, as well as a powerful weapon within spiritual warfare.

Many of those who do not understand this gift,  often bash, ridicule, or simply don’t believe in the gifts of the Spirit.   Their mind tries to understand something that has to be reconciled with the heart, and revealed through the Spirit. Then there are others who have this gift, and then yet, condemn others who do not, saying it is a sign of their salvation. This is false, and again, another matter of the heart.

There is indeed a demonic version, that is also manifested in other religions, as satan enjoys to take what is holy and pure, and twist and distort it. This also is manifested within many churches and because of this many are ignorant to the true gift.

I hope all who are seeking, find this to be a blessing for their weary heart, as often times my heart was and can be so burdened, that my own earthly language could not express the depths of my soul.  Being able to pray as the Spirit gives you utterance, is wonderful rest for a weary heart and essential during tumultuous times.  May this glorify our God and Saviour Yeshua/Jesus.

The Earthly Millennium Deception and Revelation 20

Part I: The Earthly Millennium Deception

One of the central core doctrines of Zionism is an earthly kingdom. When Yeshua/Jesus came the first time, they were of a carnal mindset and kept inquiring on when the kingdom would be, however, an actual literal 1,000 earthly reign is not supported biblically, as Jesus stated His Kingdom is spiritual, and not of this world.

A Pure Language that Comes from a Pure Heart

Zephaniah 3:9For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.(KJV)

Many have said that the above passage has to do with the restoration of the Hebrew language.  Is this true?  Does this passage have anything to do with Hebrew, or any earthly language? Or does it rather show that this is fulfilled through Messiah and His cleansing blood?  For it is only through a purified heart, that we may call upon Him, in a purified tongue, and serve Him together in Spirit and truth.

Tattoos/Piercings: Defilement of the Body/Temple

 If you were able to look into a mirror and see your spiritual condition, would you?  If the condition of your heart was revealed would you change? 

When a heart is changed and circumcised by the hands of Yeshua/Jesus, then the change will reflect in our actions and our appearance.  We go from darkness to light, a new creation.

Acts 26:18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me(Yeshua).

Garments of a Warrior Priest-Feet Shod in Peace

In my continuation on of the “Garments of a Warrior Priest” series, this will directly continue on from my previous, Breastplate of Righteousness, and moving into “feet shod in peace”.

Ephesians 6:14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (KJV)

Generally, when we think of having our feet shod, it is to be covered, like wearing a sandal or a shoe, or when we think of armor, boots. This is a spiritual and symbolic representation of those who share the gospel of Yeshua/Jesus.  Paul spoke of such in Romans 10:15, of which he was quoting from Isaiah 52:7, speaking of the fulfillment of that passage through the disciples going forth and sharing the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua. As well as being administrators of the New Covenant (2 Cor 3:6). Continue reading “Garments of a Warrior Priest-Feet Shod in Peace”

Garments of a Warrior Priest-The Breastplate of Righteousness

Normally when you think of the breastplate of righteousness(Ephesians 6:14), your mind would probably envision a warrior breastplate, with strong impregnable iron, or chain mail.  While, indeed as a warrior, this kind of breastplate would be more suitable in battle, and often what we think of as a spiritual representation of the breastplate, to guard our heart from the enemy.

However, I would like to bring up the other breastplate of righteousness that is worn, also called the breastplate of judgement: Continue reading “Garments of a Warrior Priest-The Breastplate of Righteousness”

What’s in a parable? Hidden Treasure, that’s for sure.

As the Feast of Passover comes near, and a study that I will save for a different post, I came across a little nugget of treasure that blew my mind. I sat in awe for sometime, and the reverent fear of YHWH(LORD) came over me. Let me take you on this little journey with me, and it is okay if your jaw hits the floor. Mine sure did!

So, I will begin with the parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22: Continue reading “What’s in a parable? Hidden Treasure, that’s for sure.”
