Two offerings, one better than the other, on an old altar: https://thekingdomnetwork.us/2....025/06/30/ancient-in
Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
John 6:62
The Son of Man first descended from Heaven to Earth--and would descend even lower--before he could ascend again. Paul alluded to this same idea in Ephesians 4:9...
In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?
Ephesians 4:9
Shalom!
YAH Willing, Triumph In Truth will host a Shabbat Water-immersion Gathering on 7/12 near Cincinnati, OH at 10 AM at:
Caesar Creek Gorge
Caesar Creek Gorge Access Rd
Waynesville, Ohio 45068

Thank you for carefully reading the following information as all the details are important.
Here's a list of things to bring:
* Lawn chair
* Water
* Bible
* Pen and paper
We have water immersion robes to wear over your clothes and appreciate everyone adhering to the following:
* Men wear jeans or other long pants (Men will be immersed in their long pants)
* Women wear a long skirt or dress
* Shoes that can be worn in the water
* A towel
* A change of clothes if you don't want to travel wet. We will have changing tents or restrooms to change in.
Triumph In Truth encourages biblical modesty (Deuteronomy 22:5, 1Corinthians 11:5). We will be publicly praying during our immersions so the ministry has available bandanas for head-coverings for the women (1 Corinthians 11:2-16). If you have your own, that's fine as well. We are returning to the ancient (biblical) paths, so modesty is very important.
As for doctrine, G. Steven Simons does not embrace Greek or western philosophy or quote Roman bishops to determine his understanding of Elohim. He believes what Yeshua said in John 17:3, "And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim (speaking of the Father), AND Yeshua Messiah (the anointed One) whom You have sent." He believes in Elohim (the Father), the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Son of Elohim (Yeshua), the Mediator between Elohim and men, the man Yeshua Messiah - conceived through the spirit of YAH, born of a virgin, and filled with the FULL measure of the spirit of YAH. He also believes that the Father places His set-apart spirit (breath, wind, ruach) upon and within those who believe in His Son Yeshua and ask to be filled. The spirit of YAH is His breath not another person. At the immersion you will be calling on YAH (the Father) to forgive your sins in the Name of Yeshua Messiah as in the book of Acts. Brother Steven will not be immersing in any other names. We water-immerse children who can understand the message who are 12 years of age and older.
Please come a little early to give time to meet up in the parking area. Eat before you come. There will be no meal at the gathering.
Be sure to fill up your gas tank before the weekly Shabbat. We don't purchase fuel, or anything for that matter, on the Sabbath. Be sure to get familiar with the journey you will be taking before Shabbat so that your trip is with ease and peace. If you are coming a long distance, we recommend you travel on 6th day and spend the night in a hotel somewhere close to the event. For assistance in directions, or questions you might have, email us at info@TriumphInTruth.global..
PLEASE CONFIRM YOU INTEND TO ATTEND. Let us know how many are in your party and how many will be water-immersed. Be in prayer and prepare your heart for a powerful, transformative experience. We look forward to meeting you in person.
YAH willing, Triumph In Truth will host another gathering the following Shabbat (7/19) near Columbus, and the following Shabbat (7/26) near Cleveland. Please respond to this email and let us know if you will be attending the gathering near Columbus or Cleveland.
Yours for the Reign,
Triumph In Truth
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE ATTENDING!
Do not be friends with one given to anger or associate with a hot-tempered person, lest you learn his ways, and entangle your soul in a snare.
Proverbs 22:24-25 TLV
You become like the people you associate with. The more forceful the personality and passions, the more influence a person has on the people around him. Too powerful, and that influence will repel some and attract others.

1 Samuel 15:22, “But Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.” Part of this verse is often used out of context. Some attempt to make obedience sound like legalism and others use it to justify James writing about works. But very few answer the question, why is obedience better?

NEW TESTAMENT VERSES – PART 2
1 CORINTHIANS 8:10

When he told me how much you were looking forward to my visit, and how sorry you were about what had happened, and how loyal your love is for me, I was filled with joy!
