Shavuot: A Day of Biblical Proportions!

Acts 2:1-4

And when the Day of the Festival of Weeks(Shavuot, Pentecost) 

had come, they were all with one mind in one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, 

and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 

3 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. 

4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak

 with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

Unlike what many of us have been taught, Pentecost isn't a denomination. 

What many people call the day of Pentecost today is really

 the Biblical Feasts of Weeks, or in Hebrew, Shavuot. 

As e are counting towards Shavuot, we pray that you

 receive a double portion of His Ruach HaKodesh-Holy Spirit and that

 He can use you to spread the Good News of Messiah to the Nations!

We apologize for not posting lately. We are having camera issues. 

We have a lot to tell you all. YHVH is good all the time! 

He has provided, He has healed, He is transforming lives, and He is opening doors.

We have seen a revival in the ministry, and many are hungry for His Truth. 

Please pray for our family ministry and consider an offering for the poor, widows, and orphans.

Until next time...

Shalom!

Chag Sameach Pesach!

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! We pray that you all have had a blessed Pesach and that YHVH is using you for His glory! We did have a great Peasach, howbeit a different one than what we have had in the past, but prayerfully one that will show forth fruit in the future!

Now, before we get started, we just want to say THANK YOU to all those that have supported us all this time. It is a huge blessing to be able to shine our light throughout Central America and without the support of many of you it could not be possible and for that we thank you and pray that YHVH blesses and supplies all your needs!

Leviticus 23:4-8

‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings

 which you are to proclaim at their appointed times. 

5 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, 

between the evenings, is the Passover to יהוה. 

6 ‘And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to יהוה – 

seven days you eat unleavened bread. 

7 ‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work. 

8 ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה for seven days. 

On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.ʼ ” 

Luke 22:7-9,15-16

And the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover had to be slaughtered. 

8 And He sent Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.” 

9 And they said to Him, “Where do You wish us to prepare?”

15 And He said to them, 

“With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering, 

16 for I say to you, I shall certainly not eat of it again until it is filled in the reign of Elohim.” 

 Exodus 12:13-14

‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim. 14 ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it as a festival, an everlasting law.

 1 Corinthians 5:6-8

 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the entire lump? 

7 Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, so that you are a new lump, as you are unleavened. For also Messiah our Passover was offered for us. 

8 So then let us observe the festival, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

  

Serphadic-Style Unleavened Bread, bitter herbs, and a twist on Charoset.

Our Messiah Yahshua was our Passover Lamb, the Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruit from the dead that ascended to Abba YHVH, and is sitting at His Right Hand. HalleluYAH! 

May our hearts be cleansed from the leaven so that we can worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. May we crossover as Hebrews from our worldly lives in Egypt to be gathered unto Him and have His Torah written in our minds and hearts(Jeremiah 31:31-34), allowing us to enter into His Renewed Covenant through the blood of our Lamb, Yahshua HaMashiach! 

Chag Sameach from the Montañez Family!

Costa Rica Sukkot 2012

Shalom Mispocha in Messiah! I pray that you are being blessed
wherever you are and that YHVH is using you for His Glory. 

It is always a big blessing for Sukkot to come around, physically and spiritually.
Before we go into what we did, let us look into the Scriptures and
see the passages where this great Feast of YAH is found:

Leviticus 23:34-36, 39-43

“Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this
 seventh month is the Festival of Booths for seven days to YHVH.
35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to YHVH. On the eighth day there 
shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made
 by fire to YHVH. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.

‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the fruit of the land,
 observe the festival of YHVH for seven days. On the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
40 ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, 
twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before YHVH your Elohim for seven days.
41 ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to YHVH for seven days in the year – 
a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month.
42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’elites dwell in booths,
43 so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’el dwell in booths
 when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am YHVH your Elohim.’ ” 

Deuteronomy 16:13-16

“Perform the Festival of Booths for seven days after the ingathering 
from your threshing-floor and from your winepress,
14 and you shall rejoice in your festival, you and your son and your daughter, 
and your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite, 
and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates.
15 “For seven days you shall observe a festival to YHVH your Elohim 
in the place which YHVH chooses, because YHVH your Elohim does bless you 
in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be only rejoicing!
16 “Three times a year all your males appear before YHVH your Elohim in the place which He chooses: 
at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Booths.

In the time of the building of the 2nd temple there
was a great rejoicing when they found this command:

Nehemiah 8:14-17

And they found written in the Torah, which YHVH had commanded by Moshe, 
that the children of Yisra’el should dwell in booths in the festival of the seventh month,
15 and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Yerushalayim, saying, 
“Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, and myrtle branches,
 and palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
16 So the people went out and brought them and made themselves booths, each one 
on the roof of his house, and in their courtyards and in the courtyards of the House of Elohim, 
and in the open space of the Water Gate and in the open space of the Gate of Ephrayim.
17 And the entire assembly of those who had come back from the captivity made booths 
and sat under the booths, for since the days of Yeshua(Joshua) son of Nun until 
that day the children of Yisra’el had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. 

In Zechariah it states that in the end of days that if a gentile(of the nations) does not
 come up to Jerusalem for Sukkot, that person will not have any rain in their land:

Zechariah 14:16-17

And it shall be that all who are left from all the gentiles which came up against Yerushalayim, 
shall go up from year to year to bow themselves to the Sovereign, 
YHVH of hosts, and to observe the Festival of Booths.
17 And it shall be, that if anyone of the clans of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim 
to bow himself to the Sovereign, YHVH of hosts, on them there is to be no rain. 

Yahshua also came to the earth on the Feast of Sukkot:

John 1:14

And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent(Tabernacled, Sukkot!) among us, 
and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favor and truth.

And finally, in the end of days, 
YHVH will send down the New Yerushalayim like a Booth:

Revelation 21:2-3

And I, Yohanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down 
out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, 
“See, the Booth(Sukkot) of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them,
 and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim.

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

This feast is a true blessing from YHVH. This year we were blessed to be able to host it,
 thanks to your gifts, YHVH’s blessing, and the McDaniel’s allowing us to use
their houses here in Costa Rica. May YHVH bless you for all you have done! 

Now, saying that, it does take quite a bit of work to have any type of gathering, especially one
 that lasts 8 days. It can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of months to get prepared, depending on the size. Since we didn’t know exactly how many people would show up,
we got prepared in advance. One of the things that is important, of course, is food. And lots of it.

 

For the feast we made a Hispanic meal with rice, beans, and tamales.
It takes a lot of work, especially the tamales, but YHVH has blessed us
 with the bodies and the provision to make things possible!

Thank you YHVH for able bodies!

 

Psalms 111:5

He has given food to those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever. 
 

 

Psalms 90:16-17

Reveal Your work to Your servants, And Your splendor to their children.
17 And let the pleasantness Of YHVH our Elohim be upon us, 
And confirm the work of our hands for us; O confirm the work of our hands!

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

Another VERY important thing is transportation. In our case it is much more difficult
since the people that wanted to come don’t have any type of transportation.
But thanks to YHVH’s provision through someone’s gift, we were able to rent out a man
who had a pickup truck that was big enough to bring all the people. Without that gift, my dad would have had to go down himself, bring some people, and come back up. Then he would have had to do it again,
and probably again. That is a lot of gas, but more importantly it doesn’t give him
 an opportunity to speak YHVH’s word as much as he could because he would
be going up and down all day bringing people up and down the mountain.
But again, we thank you SO MUCH for your gift, not that we had to have it, but rather:

Philippians 4:17

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is multiplying to your account.

Praise YAH!

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

Micah 4:2

And many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, 
to the House of the Elohim of Yaʽaqob, and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths.
 For out of Zion comes forth the Torah, and the word of YHVH from Yerushalayim.”

 When we read this verse, the 1st thing that we think of is the physical mountain in Yisra’el. 
But it also has a Spiritual connection as well. And it is really cool to read that verse and think, 
“Wow! These people are from the nations, and they are coming up the mountain to learn YHVH’s Word!”. YHVH has blessed us so much, physically and spiritually!
 

Our Sukkah.

 

Psalms 67

1 Elohim does favor us and bless us, Cause His face to shine upon us. Selah.
2 For Your way to be known on earth, Your deliverance among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You, O Elohim, Let all the peoples praise You.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You judge the peoples uprightly, 
And lead the nations on earth. Selah.
5 Let the peoples praise You, O Elohim; Let all the peoples praise You.
6 The earth shall give her increase; Elohim, our own Elohim, blesses us!
7 Elohim blesses us! And all the ends of the earth fear Him! 

2nd Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, 
for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work.
 

YHVH’s Word is always good. He tells us that it is the perfect way(Psalms 18:30),
that it is straight(Psalms 33:4), that it is the Good News(Acts 15:35), and that we are
 blessed by doing and obeying it(Just Read Psalms 119 and you’ll see what I mean)!

He also tells us to teach them to our children in Deuteronomy 6:

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

“And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,
7 and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, 
and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up,
8 and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
9 “And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. 

HalleluYAH!

Psalms 127:3

Look, children are an inheritance from YHVH, The fruit of the womb is the reward. 

 

YHVH’s Word is always a blessing, it restores our souls and makes our minds stronger.
It is the sword with which we use for battle against the Adversary and it is our Daily Bread.
Without the Whole Word of YHVH we could not, we cannot be
what YHVH wants us to be, a servant and emissary for Him.
May YHVH be praised for all that He has done!

Pray for each one of these men, women and children. Pray that they learn to love,
serve, trust, and obey YHVH and follow the testimony of Yahshua. Pray that they can
 be the messengers of truth and that the whole world can come to know YHVH’s Glory!

 
This is where Abba has brought us as we surrendered to do His will and not ours.
Now we do our best with what has been provided by YHVH Yirei, Our Provider.
Pray for our servant family. Without His provision multiplying every gift we can’t continue
 the Journey and teach by our testimony and the Word of Elohim.

Until next time….

Shalom!

The Fast of Isaiah 58... Yom Kippur 2012

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! I pray that you all have had a blessed Moedim(Feast Days)

and that YHVH can use you to share His good news with others.

We have been busy lately but I do want to update you on what we have been doing. 

10 days ago was Yom Kippur, and as you know, it is called the Day of Atonement/Repentance.

 In Leviticus 23 it says:

Leviticus 23:26-32

.  And YHVH spoke to Moshe, saying, 

27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a set-apart 

gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to YHVH. 

28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, 

to make atonement for you before YHVH your Elohim. 

29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. 

30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, 

that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people. 

31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 

32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day

 of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”

This is the only day of the year that the high priest was able to go

 into the Most Holy Place and make an offering for the sins of all of Yisra'el

 as it says in Leviticus 16:

Leviticus 16:29-34

  “And this shall be for you a law forever: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, 

you afflict your beings, and do no work, the native or the stranger who sojourns among you. 

30 “For on that day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you, 

to be clean from all your sins before YHVH.. 

31 “It is a Sabbath of rest for you, and you shall afflict your beings – a law forever. 

32 “And the priest, who is anointed and ordained to serve as priest in his father’s place, 

shall make atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, the set-apart garments,
33 And he shall make atonement for the Most Set-apart Place, and make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar, and make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly. 

34 “And this shall be for you a law forever, to make atonement for the children of Yisra'el, 

for all their sins, once a year.” And he did as YHVH commanded Moshe.

Now, on this day He tells us to afflict our beings and fast. Now most people think of fasting as praying all day and not eating. But a couple of years ago we found a passage in Isaiah that talks about the true fast that YHVH really wants, and since we should be doers of the Word and not just hearers, we paid special attention:

Isaiah 58:1-5

“Cry aloud, do not spare. Lift up your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to 

My people their transgression, and the house of Yaʽaqob their sins. 

2 “Yet they seek Me day by day, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness,

and did not forsake the right-ruling of their Elohim. They ask of Me rulings

 of righteousness, they delight in drawing near to Elohim. 

3 They say, ‘Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our beings, 

and You took no note?’ “Look, in the day of your fasting you find pleasure, and drive on all your laborers. 

4 “Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wrongness. 

You do not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high. 

5 “Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his being? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to YHVH?

So if the real fast isn't to not eat and put sackcloth on, then what is it that we are supposed to do...?

James 1:27

Clean and undefiled religion before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans

 and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Isaiah 58:6-7

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loosen the tight cords of wrongness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to exempt the oppressed, and to break off every yoke? 

7 “Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, and cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Yahshua promises us in Matthew 25 that those who will inherit the kingdom of Elohim will be the ones who give food and water to the hungry and thirsty brings in the strangers clothes the naked, and goes to the prisons, because He says:

Matthew 25:40

“And the Sovereign(Yahshua) shall answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far

 as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me.’

So basically in essence, what is the real fast?

Matthew 22:37-40

And Yahshua said to him, "You shall love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart,

 and with all your being, and with all your mind."

38 “This is the first and great command. 

39 “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 

40 “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.”

That is what it truly is, to love, and Yahshua was the perfect example of that. 1st Peter says:

1 Peter 2:21-25 

For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us,

 leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, “

22 who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth,” 

23 who, being reviled, did not revile in return; suffering, did not threaten,

 but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 

24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on the timber, so that we, 

having died to sins, might live unto righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed.  

25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now 

 returned(Teshuvah) to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.

May we all learn to LOVE YHVH and show our LOVE by LOVING our neighbor, whether it be your best friend, some kid down the block, a homeless man, or a poor widow. 

May YHVH bless you!

Until next time...

Shalom!

Yom Teruah 2012… The Bridegroom is Coming!

Chag Sameah Teruah-Happy Feast of Trumpets

El Duruy, Valle de la Estrella, Costa Rica

Lost House of Yisra'el

Leviticus 23:2,24
 “Speak to the children of Yisraʼel, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of YHVH,
which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:
24 “Speak to the children of Yisraʼel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month,

 you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of trumpets, a set-apart gathering.

 

Our family thought we were going to be alone for these feasts.
Then we told one family about the feasts and then sent a text message to some other people.
We prayed that Abba YHVH would use us and bring who He wanted to be with us.
It has been an amazing experience to see Him at work. We started receiving texts saying that
they were coming and that their neighbor wanted to come as well. HalleluYAH!

  Matthew 18:33
‘Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant,
as I also had compassion on you?ʼ 

We had to drive them up and down the mountain and across the river.
It took 4 trips in the day and 3 trips at night to move them but it was worth it. 

Psalms 72:3 "
Let the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, by righteousness."

  

Let the children come to me....
Our hope is that the next generation come to know, love and serve Yahshua HaMashiach.
These are the last generation. Help us become a testimony to them. I asked one of them,
 "Do you know a man of God?", and he answered " you". I lost words and felt disappointed
and humbled that he could not see Elohim in any other man.
At the same time I felt responsible for the Testimony I carry.

Psalms 149:3 "
Let them praise His Name in a dance; Let them sing
 praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre."

How beautiful are the inheritance of the womb He allows us to bring for Him.

 

Zechariah 8:23
“Thus said YHVH of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all languages of the nations take hold,
yea, they shall take hold of the edge of the garment of a man, a Yehuḏite, saying,
 “Let us go with you, for we have heard that Elohim is with you.” 

Hebrews 4:12
"For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
 cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow,
and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

 

 

Psalms 98:6
"With trumpets and the sound of a horn;
Raise a shout before YHVH, the Sovereign."

HalleluYAH!!!

Jeremiah 16:19
"O YHVH, my strength and my stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles
 shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood,
futility, and there is no value in them.”

We have heard from those that came that they will return to be with us for Sukkot
and will bring others with them. Praise YAH for Ushpizin. Visitors for Sukkot are a blessing.
 We are preparing food and teachings and will need transportation to bring people up.
 It must be a 4x4 vehicle and we have contacted someone that will charge us a fee.
Pray for provision for that!

If you feel led to send a gift offering to cover the expenses to celebrate the feasts
in Costa Rica for the people of Valle de la Estrella and El Duruy please do so in the donation link.
Praise Abba El Shaddai and Yirei that provided for this feast and allowed
our family to reach this season of Moedim (Appointed times)

Philippians 4:17, 19-20
 "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that is multiplying to your account.
And my Elohim shall fill all your need according to His riches in esteem by Messiah Yahshua.
 And to our Elohim and Father be esteem forever and ever. Amen."

Baruch Mishpacha/ We have visitors!

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! I pray that you will all have a 

blessed Shabbat and that YHVH will bless your Mishpacha(Family) as well.

.....................................................................................................................................

 

Now, on to the pictures!

 Psalms 133:1

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

 

It is always good to have family, spiritually or physically. 

And it’s even better when we are all following YHVH and guarding His right-ruling.

 We were very blessed last Shabbat to have a family come up from town, especially a

 family like brother Reynaldo and sister Mayra’s, as well as a young man named Luis. 

We also have a VERY special visitor from New Jersey, our dear, dear Cousin Jenny. 

She has been blessed not just spiritually, but physically in a large way. 

 

 

Getting ready to start Shabbat. 

Exodus 20:8

  “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. 

It is always a blessing to go through 

what the bread and the fruit of the vine mean and how Yahshua fulfilled being 

the bread of life and the blood of the renewed covenant. 

 

Christian blowing the Shofar to enter in the Shabbat

Psalms 89:15 

Blessed are the people Who know the blowing trumpet-call! 

They walk, O YHVH, in the light of Your face.

. Shabbat is always a special time, physically and spiritually, resting from work 

and learning from Yah’s Torah of everlasting life. HalleluYAH!

My mom teaching Dona Mayra and her girls how to do Hebrew dances.

Dancing to YHVH was and still is very important part of worship. 

There were Levites that danced in the Temple, and King David danced when they brought the 

Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. Dancing is a large part of rejoicing and praising YHVH,

 as David states in Psalms 149:

Psalms 149:1-4

Praise Yah! Sing to YHVH a new song, His praise in an assembly of kind ones.
Let Yisra’el rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion exult in their Sovereign.
Let them praise His Name in a dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre.
For YHVH takes pleasure in His people; He embellishes the meek ones with deliverance. 

My dad teaching our cousin Jenny a bit about the Scriptures.
 

We should learn from the Scriptures always, but Shabbat is that special time for us

 where we read from the Torah and see how it applies to us today, as well as looking 

for little jots and tittles that point us to Messiah and how the Torah was literally lived through Him. 

Amen! She has been healed by hearing His Torah. Ears that hear!

Romans 10:17 

So then belief comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim.

Our view behind our house. 

Shabbat also gives us a time to stop and look at YHVH’s beautiful creation. 

YHVH created everything in six days, and on the seventh day He rested and blessed all His work. 

So when we look at and see YHVH’s blessing all around us, from the sky, grass, and trees to the food, family, and fellowship, let us all praise YHVH in whatever way we can so that He may be glorified!
 ......................................................................................................................................................

YHVH has gratefully allowed our beloved Cousin Jenny to come down from New Jersey. 

This is the first time we have had a family member visiting from the States, so it makes it even more special.

 

Cousin Jenny’s testimony of life!

My mom and Cousin Jenny. Cousin Jenny was born almost completely deaf. 

She, like all children that are deaf, learned how to read lips and do sign language, 

and with the partial hearing that she did have was able to learn how to speak well. 

She had what you would call an average life like anyone else, until a couple of years ago.

Three years ago, she had an ear infection. It got so bad that it impaled the rest of her hearing, 

making her totally deaf. More than six months later she went into surgery to have an artificial 

hearing system put behind her ear. Thankfully it worked, but during her surgery she had a 

stroke and another small one several months afterwards as well. This has left the left side of her

 body very weak and she couldn’t walk without a cane and a person standing next to her. About 5-6

 months ago we started praying about making plans to bring her  here, and finally, August 13th, she came.

Philippians 4:13 

I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.

In just the days she has been here we have seen a HUGE difference. 

When she came here she was very tired and couldn’t walk by herself, but now by just being here 

she has gone through some amazing changes. She can walk by herself quickly with a cane, 

helps a lot around the house, and for the past 3 days has been taking a BUNCH of 

corn off the cob for food,  for the chicken’s and for us. She has also been blessed spiritually,

 learning about the ancient paths and the forgotten truth of the Scriptures.

Jeremiah 17:14 

Heal me, O YHVH, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I am saved, for You are my praise. 

With her here she has been blessed so much, physically and spiritually, and we have been so

blessed by her company. Pray for her continual healing and that when she goes back 

to the States that she can be a living testimony, a miracle to the rest of the family of just how big 

of a blessing it is to live the way YHVH wants us to live, whether by the foods we eat, 

keeping Shabbat, or just walking, breathing, seeing, and living in YHVH’s beauty everyday.

Jeremiah 32:17-19

‘Ah, Master YHVH! See, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is no matter too hard for You,
18  who show kindness to thousands, and repay the crookedness of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them – the Great, the Mighty El, YHVH of hosts is His Name,
19  great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 

Until next time, from our Mishpacha to yours…

Shalom!

“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, teaching them to guard all that 

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

 Amen.
