We have Ushpizin(Visitors!)! Part 2 of 2

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! I pray that you are all doing well 

and that you can be used by YHVH for His Glory!

Here we have been VERY blessed especially of late. YHVH has allowed us in the past

 2 weeks to have several families come up to visit us. We have been able to share the Word with them.

 Pray that it makes an impact in their lives and that we can continue to share YHVH with others!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have been very blessed to have a large family from down in town come up to visit us. 

We have been sharing the Word with them and they seem to be very receptive to it. This family has 

come out of a lot of bad situations so once again please pray that they can fully come out 

of that and be able to fully embrace the Whole Word of YHVH!

Now, on to the pictures!

 

Isaiah 9:2-3

The people who were walking in darkness have seen a great light; 

upon those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death a light has shone.
3 You shall increase the nation; You shall make its joy great. They shall rejoice before You,

 as in the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 

Sharing the harvest and giving out the bread, physically AND spiritually too!

 

 

Please pray for this young lady named Dinia. She has a very sweet heart but she has been in 

some very tough situations in her life and has only recently been freed some that, part of which 

you will see in this blogpost. She has 2 young children so please pray that they

 will be able to grow up in a home where YHVH is first and that none of the 

dangers of life can come and try to take them away from HIM.

Psalms 133:1

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 

 

Psalms 98:6-9

With trumpets and the sound of a horn; Raise a shout before YHVH, the Sovereign.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it, The world and those who dwell in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy before YHVH,
9 For He shall come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the people in straightness. 

The shofar has been a great teaching tool to use, especially with larger groups and

 where youth and children are involved. We share how the shofar was used in times of war

 as well as in times of calling the people to repentance. And almost every time

 a group comes up, they all will try to blow the shofar, and it’s great to 

see them laugh and smile when they see how hard it is to blow!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now here comes an interesting and what would become exciting story. 

We were talking about some things in the Scriptures when one of the young ladies 

named Angie that came told my dad that she had wanted to be baptized before 

and that she had gone to ask the pastor at the church in El Duruy. Here comes the crazy part though. 

The pastor told the Angie that to be baptized she must stop dressing so immodestly 

as well as stop playing soccer, and if she did that she could be baptized. Well, as you

 could figure out that surprised her a little bit, and once she told us, we told her right 

away that there is no place in Scripture that talks about that. In fact, there is no requirement

 to be baptized other than to believe with all your heart that Yahshua is the Messiah. We shared 

with them the story of Philip and the Kushite(Ethiopian) eunuch and how 

He was baptized almost immediately after He accepted Messiah. We told them what it

 meant to be baptized and then we asked who wanted to be baptized. Angie and 

then Dinia both said they wanted to be baptized! 

Here are some pictures!

Acts 8:27-31

And he arose and went, and saw, a man of Kush, a eunuch of great authority

 under Kandake the sovereigness of the Kushites, who was in charge

 of all her treasury, and had come to Yerushalayim to worship,
28 and was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Yeshayahu.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and join him in that chariot.”
30 And running up, Philip heard him reading the prophet Yeshayahu,

 and said, “Do you know what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How am I able, unless someone guides me?” 

And he called Philip near, to come up and sit with him. 

Acts 8:32-35

32 And the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this,

 “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and like a lamb silent before 

its shearer, so He opened not His mouth.
33 “In His humiliation He was deprived of right-ruling. 

And who shall declare His generation? Because His life was taken from the earth.”

34 And the eunuch, answering Philip, said, “I ask you, about whom 

does the prophet say this, about himself or about some other?”
35 And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, brought to him the Good News: Yahshua! 

Acts 8:36-39

36 And as they were going on the way, they came to some water.

 And the eunuch said, “Look, water! What hinders me from being immersed?”
37 And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.” 

And he answering, said, “I believe that Yahshua Messiah is the Son of Elohim.”
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip

 and the eunuch went down into the water, and he immersed him.
39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of YHVH caught Philip away, 

and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went his way, rejoicing.

Yahshua's last instruction on earth was to baptize and make disciples in all the nations:

Matthew 28:18-20

And Yahshua came up and spoke to them, saying, 

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them

 in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit,
20 teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you.

 And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn. 

 

Please pray for these 2 women, Angie and Dinia. Pray that they continue to learn about 

Yah’s Word and that they can learn how to be a bride of Messiah and stay away 

from the evils of this world. Sister Tammy has been very busy making several skirts

 for them and then trading their very immodest clothes for beautiful coverings. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now it’s time to celebrate! Yahshua said in Luke 15:

Luke 15:10

“I say to you, in the same way there is joy in the presence of

 the messengers of Elohim over one sinner repenting.”

HalleluYAH!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Once again, please pray for this family. They need to hear more about YHVH’s Word 

so that they do not go astray again. They have come a long way and are continuing 

their walk back to the REAL truth of YHVH’s Word. Pray that we will be able to 

continue to minister to them and that they can truly become followers of Messiah. 

They have physical needs but more importantly they have spiritual needs and we 

desire to be able to show them as much as we know with the knowledge and time that we have.  

And finally, please continue praying for us. Times are getting darker but that is when 

the light shines even brighter. We lack nothing(Praise YHVH!) but we want to be able

 to help with the needs of others, both physically and spiritually. We thank you all for

 all that you are doing and all you are going to do, and may YHVH 

bless you and multiply His blessings on you!

Numbers 6:24-26

“YHVH bless you and guard you;
25 YHVH make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you;
26 YHVH lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.”

Until next time…

Shalom! 

The Montanez Family 

Servants and Emissaries of Yahshua, Children of YHVH 

HalleluYAH!
