So why do you defend communion?

Recently on Facebook there was a picture of what is depicted as Messiah holding bread in one hand and a cup in the other. I was just a bit on the livid side, because the bread was a yeast bread and being sold as the "last supper." I spent 3 days with posts back and forth explaining and not wavering in my stand that the picture is incorrect from a scriptural standpoint and a man made tradition. When Messiah said to "do it in remembrance of Him." It was at the Passover Seder, not to institute a weekly or monthly tradition to serve bread or a communion wafer, that BTW tastes like rice paper not bread, grape juice or wine and do this on Sunday, the venerable day of the sun.
I went on and on combating all the so called accusations of what they kept trying to say that I was saying. They weren't even quoting me correctly. So I kept defending what Torah actually says, utilizing the fact that all the verses I was using is backed up by 2-3 others. So I let scripture interpret scripture. Not my words, but YHVH's. It was a great experience overall. It was sharpening me and letting me use the ability to recall YHVH's Words when I needed them the most. Let alone, I was reading His Word, recalling all His precious words and deeds. I was being used by YHVH to spread His light in this dark and dying world. I was so humbled by the experience as well. Because I felt that the ignorant words being thrown back at me could be me still stuck at that "stinkin' thinkin." I really felt what YHVH's mercy really is. He has been so gracious to me and my husband to have brought us out of "Babylon" that I am so grateful. It really is rightful that I am out there defending the faith.

Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Are there days that it feels like you are barely treading water? I just want to offer encouragement to continue to do what is right for the Kingdom of Yahweh. Keep yourself in a state of Emunah - Faith! Knowing that Yahweh has it all under His control. I actually find a great comfort in knowing that and that my steps are appointed by Him.
I had to laugh at myself a few minutes ago. Here I was posting and commenting on all the issues I find important on Facebook. Trying to solve all the world's problem with a few taps on the computer keyboard and suddenly a major hunger attack came upon me. So I am trying to solve these issues and here I am going hungry. I forgot to eat and take care of myself. However, the irony is that if I didn't take care of myself and feed me, I wasn't going to be able to think straigt and write cognitively on everyone's Facebook posts.
So I ate and now am writting here. But bottom line, Yahweh has it all under His control and we just got to be busier sifting Lost Israel, time is running out!

Praying is doing something for the Kingdom

As I am making ready my own heart and mind for the Full Restoration of Yahweh's Kingdom and what that entails, I am wondering what can I be doing now? With scripture saying for us not to be anxious for anything, I am now finally able to step back out of an anxious mode that I once was in daily, regarding making Aliyah to Israel. I know that all things will work itself out in the Aliyah process and I await the day when that can take place for my husband and myself. Yet I can be pro-active in my prayer life for Yahweh to move people's hearts now. To move the hearts of Judah to accept brother Ephraim as co-laborers of the Kingdom. Which also means praying for the hearts of the Rabbinate and Sanhedrin (Beit Din) as well as the political leaders of Israel. I think these are part of the "mountains" Yahshua was talking about that we have the ability to move if we would just have the faith of a mustard seed.

Also to move the hearts of Ephraim to understand who they really are. They are not part of the church, they are Lost Israel hiding out in the church and must come out from "Babylon."

I see so much of Ezekiel 37 on the verge of being fulfilled. The dry bones becoming flesh. Our stony hearts (all Israel - Judah & Ephraim) becoming flesh, and the 2 sticks becoming Echad. Messiah's desire for Israel is that we were unified - Echad as He, Yahweh and the Ruach are Echad. Just because Messiah Yahshua physically said it 2000 years ago does not take it out of the present tense. So that gives me hope that He is making us Echad.

Have the actual 12 Brothers, sons of Yakov (Jacob) ever really gotten along? We see from the accounts in Bereshit (Genesis) not really, no. Even after Joseph is reconciled to the family, they all move to Egypt, and after Yakov passes, the brothers wonder if Joseph is going to take out his revenge now that dad is gone. Loads of mistrust is still there. Judah doesn't want to assimilate to Christianity and Ephraim doesn't want to give up Messiah. I say we agree where we can and let Yahweh bridge the gap of all the other differences. Now in reality what we all really need is The Torah and The Testimony. I feel blessed to have both right now, before Messiah returns. But for some it may not be until Messiah returns that both parts are restored to them. Yet for now I can be pro-active in prayer for that restoration.
