Wondersharing and Wonderblessings!!

Wondersharing and Wonderblessings! 

 Do to others as you would have them do to you. ... Luke 6:31

Abba YHWH is good! He has given us wisdom, talents and ideas to bless others. A sister came to visit us and told us about a bag that can save you time and money cooking in it. We could not imagine such a thing. Slow cooking in hayboxes and holes in the ground were used in the past. With some changes to the original instructions we decided to bless others. We could not afford paying for them with the cost of international shipping here but we could make similar bags with ideas found online. We will use recycled material for the inside and used foam from old cushions and mattresses. 

Matt 5:16 Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and they should glorify your Father in the heavens.

Their eyes open up when you tell them that they can cook with no electric and save up to 50% by cooking in it. Less gas equals less expense, less worries about burning food means more time for other things. Beans "Cooked" overnight in the bag come out awesome. Soup, stews and even wonderbread... 

Tammy made some matching pot holders to go with the bags. 

Bring the pot to a rolling boil on the stove/fire and then place it in the bag.  

 Make sure it is tight and covered.

 If it has room for air add some material or towel. 

Pull the string...

 

And tie a knot! And no worries!  

Our family ministry desires to be about Torah in action to others. Love comes as well from making their lives better. Torah is signs and wonders! Wondersharing, wonderlove, wondershalom that surpasses all understanding. The Romans used to say about the first Ekklesia, "what love these people have that share and have things in common" paraphrasing a lot I read that can not recall who wrote it. 

 

They themselves are helping to be part of their blessings!  

Please consider our servant family and the people we serve in your gifts and offerings so we can bless others. We need to buy materials to make more bags. Thanks to all who have given material.

Shalom Ubrachot!

Living YHWH's Torah and Yahshua's
 testimony in South Costa Rica  

many, Many, MANY Blessings!

Life for us is much more than we can afford. Sometime back before we came out of the buildings (denominational church) and were persecuted out of them, we had stepped out in emunah (faith). We trusted Abba YHWH to provide for all our needs. We had seen Him open doors if we obeyed Him. Also we would appreciate the things we have in life that no money can buy, things we take for granted like Shalom, Health, Provision, Contentment, Salvation and His Creation are priceless.

Although most of these cows do not belong to us but our hosting family the McDaniel we take every opportunity to praise YAH for the ways He provides to us in the journey. Homesteading is hard but very rewarding.

So grateful to Abba YHWH! We have been praying that on of the cows that bred to a milk-breed bull gave us a female calf. Today under the rain Abba showed us His favor, just as He did to 2 other cows in the past year. A Kadosh King we serve. We harvested radishes today also. Everything we planted is giving and even things we did not plant are giving the fruit of the earth. HalleluYAH!

 

 SIMCHA! HalleluYAH! Dancing in the pasture! Todah Rabah! A female calf!

UPDATE!

Abba blessed us a week after the first calf with a surprise second red female calf. HalleluYAH! A blessing from YAH! Future with milk and honey(will post later).  

 Deuteronomy 28:1-4

 “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of YHVH your Elohim, 

to guard to do all His commands which I command you today,

 that YHVH your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth. 

2 “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, 

if you obey the voice of YHVH your Elohim: 

3 “Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field. 

4 “Blessed is the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your livestock – the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

Overflow valve! 

A squirt for Simcha to see if she was hungry. Big Mama has big .....

 

 Little brother Igor!

We bought a cow together. He worked hard to save his money and invest it. Well here is Buttercup the increase that Abba gave him and His inheritance. Praises!

 Passion Fruit galore!

Mangas! Hu Ha YHWH Yireh!

Until next time...

Shalom!

For some of those things that some consider ordinary, others consider them a miracle from the hand of Elohim. 

A Blessed Visit...

Psalms 68:4-5

 Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name. Raise up a highway for Him 

Who rides through the deserts, By His Name Yah, And exult before Him.

Father of the fatherless, And Right-ruler of widows, Is Elohim in His set-apart dwelling.

Isaiah 1:17

 “Learn to do good! Seek right-ruling, reprove the oppressor, 

defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 

 Our sister Carmen came back from Nicaragua to visit us. YHVH gave her the ability to return and visit us, and we were very blessed and happy to have her here again.We had a great time with her, speaking about Abba's Word daily and learning about how she lived in Nicaragua in the past.

 Zechariah 7:9-10

 “Thus said YHVH of hosts, ‘Execute true right-ruling, 

show kindness and compassion everyone to his brother. 

“Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger or the poor.

 And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.ʼ  
 

She is an amazing woman who has gone through a lot in her life, and it was great to hear about all the things she had to go through back in the day in Nicaragua. She lived through the Nicaraguan Revolution (also called the National Sandinista Revolution) and she had to go through a lot during that time. She told us about her husband and how he was forced to fight in the war and how they lived during that time.

 James 1:26-27

 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue 

 but deceives his own heart, this oneʼs religion is worthless. 

 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. 

Her wisdom shows in her widowed white hairs and actions. Thank you for the support sent to the poor widows. She is also a great host for those who visit her town in Nicaragua. She was such a blessing to have and we pray she will be able to return.

She said after receiving the offering: "I know brother Jesus that what you teach me and say to the local people is the Truth from the Scriptures."

 Hermana Carmen qualifies to be a true widow, having no children or husband to care for her. She has no pension or ways to make a living. She is a widow of a Pastor and today she continues to preach the Word.

If YHVH puts it in your heart to bless her and other widows, please go to:

 Deuteronomy 28:1-11
1  “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, 
to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, 
that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth.
2 “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,
 if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim:
3 “Blessed are you in the city, and blessed are you in the field.
4 “Blessed is the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your livestock –
 the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
5 “Blessed is your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 “Blessed are you when you come in, and blessed are you when you go out.
7 “יהוה causes your enemies who rise against you to be smitten before your face –
 they come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 “יהוה commands the blessing on you in your storehouses and
 in all to which you set your hand, and shall bless you in the 
land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you.

10 “And all peoples of the earth shall see that the 
Name of יהוה is called upon you, and they shall be afraid of you.

Deuteronomy 30:9-14

9 “And יהוה your Elohim shall make you have excess in all the work of your hand, 
in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit

 you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers,
10 if you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard His commands 
and His laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back 
to יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
11 “For this command which I am commanding you today, 
it is not too hard for you, nor is it far off.
12 “It is not in the heavens, to say, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens for us, 
and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?ʼ
13 “Nor is it beyond the sea, to say, ‘Who shall go over the sea for us, 
and bring it to us, and cause us to hear it, so that we do it?ʼ
14 “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it.

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!

We have been(and are being) SO blessed!!

Shalom brothers and sisters in Messiah! We  pray that you all had a blessed

 Shabbat and that you were able to rest in YHVH´s Word. Just wanted to 

share a couple of pictures and something very special that we were able to be a part of. 

Now, on to the pictures!

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

For the better part of this week we had a VERY special guest stay with us. 

Her name is Tia Carmen from Nicaragua. She is the same elderly widow that 

had so graciously invited us to stay in her home when we went to Nicaragua in June. 

Here is the entire story of our trip that we took to Nicaragua:

Trip to Nicaragua June 2012

Anyway, she came here and had a very blessed time discussing YHVH´s Word,

 as well as being blessed the whole time with food, love, and affection. She spent Shabbat night with us and was able to take part of Kiddush with us. She is a very dear part of 

our family and we pray that we will be able to have the provision 

to go to Nicaragua and visit her and the people there again.

 

We also had a very dear young lady named Angie come by. She is one of the young 

women that was recently baptized. Praise YHVH that she has continued to attempt

 to walk the walk and has been spending time with us here on the mountain, 

not just learning about the spiritual things, but also about the physical things as well, including how to cook(which by the way, is kinda IMPORTANT in any Hispanic country LOL).  

And right now we have a family with us! They are Don Harold, Doña Lourdes, and their family. 

They came early today on Shabbat and are staying overnight. Pray that they will be touched 

by the Word that we bring them and that YHVH will change their hearts.

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

Lastly, we want to share with you something VERY special that we were a part of. 

We were part of this AMAZING new magazine

 called HarvestMag which was created by 2 AWESOME cousins.

 Here is how HarvestMag got started:

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

From:http://harvestmag.com/about/

Who we are and how we got started…

HarvestMag is a non-profit, quarterly magazine founded by Zachary Bruno and Sonja Langford. Both of us have had a great desire to start our own magazine for several years, but it wasn’t until September 2012 that the desire sprouted into reality. HarvestMag began one weekend with nothing more than a passion fueled by the Father and two young people desiring to further His kingdom. We were blessed with amazing support and input from our families, and after many 3 hour phone calls and Skype sessions, HarvestMag began to take shape.

There were several reasons we wanted to start a magazine. The biggest and most important reason is that we just didn’t believe there were any “Messianic” youth magazines which spoke about the real life issues facing today’s youth. The youth of today, just like all youth in previous generations, are not interested in having beliefs and Biblical standards “spoon-fed” to them. We believe young people like ourselves mature much faster and are more capable of a deeper understanding of the Scriptures than our society gives us credit for. We also believe that one of our greatest strengths as young people is that we are always seeking the truth and challenging things that are told to us. However, without a solid foundation and a strong faith, there is no reason for young people to set the insight they gain on Saturday (Shabbat) as a guiding standard for the rest of the week. This leads us to our mission.

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

 You can read more about their mission with this magazine and what is their vision for it,
including to prayerfully having HarvestMag in print form by 2014! Anyway,
 it´s absolutely amazing what they are doing and we were so blessed to be a part of that 1st issue.
Here is an excerpt from Brother Jesus´s interview with HarvestMag:
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 - Do you have any words of wisdom that you feel young people really need to hear?

                                     
The Messianic Way should be a movement for the youth that occupies their mind 

on how to help and minister to others like Messiah would. To motivate others to

 walk the walk and become emissaries of YHWH. It should be the cool thing to

 reject the falsehood we inherited from our fathers for the Truth and radical lives of Messiah’s likeness.

I remember Jeremiah when YHWH told him:

Jeremiah 1:7 And YHVH said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,

 but go to all to whom I send you, and speak whatever I command you.

Messiah told us that we have to be like little children, so to enter the Kingdom

 is not a matter of age. His relationship is established on Trust and Truth. 

If young people establish a relationship based on His Word of Truth and 

trust to follow His instructions then the fruit will be shown and they will show

 a testimony that not only will be light and salt but a testimony that will 

bring adults to shame in their walk. Then they will say “from the mouth of babes”.

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

You GOTTA read it!! To read the interview, the rest of the magazine, and to give words of encouragement and ideas on how to make HarvestMag better(if it COULD be ANY better!!) go to:

HarvestMag 1st Issue! 

May YHVH bless them SO much, and may YHVH bless you too!! Please pray for our support offering to increase in time for our next schedule exit of the country to Panama and the Biblical Feasts of Abba.

Until next time...

Shalom!
