Teaching about the Sabbath today. Services start at 1pm central (in 15 minutes) Join us live at https://www.youtube.com/@firstcenturychristianity
Challenge for this coming week:
It is good when we pray for the sick -- And we do pray for healing when a person has a disability or when they are in hospital or hurt BUT, ---- how many of us really pray for others for spiritual healing? Do we regularly pray for mental and or spiritual health before we lay hands on for the physical ailments? Our Moshiach can heal us, not just of physical sickness, but of spiritual sickness as well. There’s no sin or problem too great or too small for Him to handle.
So the challenge for this coming week is to NOT pray for physical healing only BUT also pray for people for spiritual healing -- we live in a world that gets worse by the day and we all are involved in spiritual battles. Make it a point the week to concentrate on the spiritual side.
Blessings for this week!

What does it mean to be childlike? Messiah Yeshua said we should become like children if we are to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How do we do that?

If a great number of people believe something, does that make it true? 1 Kings 18:21 — 22, “Then Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him. But if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people did not answer a word. Then Elijah said to the people, “I am the only remaining prophet of the LORD, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.” As we know God defeated the prophets of Baal through Elijah even though there were many more of them. So the answer to my question is apparently no, just because a lot of people believe something, that doesn’t make it true.
i was explaining something the other day,
that eating kosher, that what is clean, is good for one's physical health, but that understanding the implication of what eating clean food means and applying that is good for one's spiritual health.
knowledge being food for thought, as it were, sticking to the clean food of the scriptures is desired, but watching mindless stuff, reading about worldly knowledge etc and then bringing that into your thoughts is eating unclean.
and that brought me to think of manna.
see, the israelites were fed with manna provided to them during the entire process of traversing the wilderness.
and there ends the Torah.
what do i mean by stopping abruptly like that?
when the scriptures continue, as the israelites cross over into the promised land of israel, the manna also abruptly stops, and the israelites are now to eat of that what the land produces.
the manna that is the Torah had been given, and they'd fed on it (oy vey, with enough complaining as they went along) to GET them to the promised land.
now, it was up to them to gather and produce their own food.
allow me to phrase it like this -
mindlessly following what the Torah says is still eating of manna, with the implication one is still wandering in the wilderness, not yet having entered the promised land.
it is now expected that one starts contemplating things, gathering and producing wisdom and understanding, and eating the fruits thereof.
now one has crossed into the promised land.
it is not just to follow Torah, it is to then work on understanding it.
this is very similar to what paul described as milk, for not being ready yet for solid food.
as the Torah was manna for the israelites, the entire scripture, mindlessly read, taken at face value, is milk.
contemplating the implications of what one has read is the solid food.
the work one does with what one's read produces the solid food of understanding we're all looking for.
(the Spirit leads one in this, we're not left alone)
i hope i've managed to give just that slight further encouragement, but, point is, don't listen to me, don't necessarily listen to others either (who too often just repetetively give manna and milk), go eat the food yourself, read scriptures. and NOW work on it.
Shabbat Shalom My Torah Family.
YHVH Richly Bless You and Your Family and Household and Work of Your Hands.
