Seeing the Face of YHVH by Leaving Religiosity

YHVH Is Looking For Conquerors NOT Excuse Filled Defeatists

The children of Israel spied out the land of Canaan and for fear of the giants, and their lack of faith in YHVH refused to go into the Promised Land. Many times, like the children of Israel, we make excuses why we cannot move forward in our walk with YHVH to fulfill his calling on our lives and to take the spiritual territory that is in front of us even in the face of seemingly adverse situations. By contrast, the Bible is full of examples of faithful people who went forward in faith trusting in YHVH, even under extreme persecution, and accomplished great things for the kingdom of heaven. This is a challenge for us all to go forward to spiritual conquerors and not defeatists.

Following the Glory Cloud Into Glory

In many Christian church circles, you hear the word glory bandied about. We hear things like “the glory cloud”, “glory to God”, “to God be the glory”, “glory hallelujah”, and “when you die you will end up in glory”. But what is behind the somewhat nebulous concept of glory? The crazy thing is that most Christians would have a hard time defining glory. They just know that is something beyond that is divine and unearthly and out of this world good. But what is glory and how does it related to you personally now and in the future? It has to do with a piece of God that is within the follower of Yeshua the Messiah. This is not some pagan, new age or eastern mystical religious counterfeit and demonic concept. Not at all! This truth is straight from the Bible, that is what we will now explore.This and other videos by Nathan are available as podcasts on Spotify and Apple podcast under "Hoshana Rabbah."If you are interested in participating in Hoshana Rabbah's weekly Shabbat online fellowship (Oasis Elim Online), send an email to hoshanarabbah@earthlink.net.

O How I Love Thy Torah! The Bible Vs. Church Tradition

David, a man after God's own heart according to the Bible, passionately extolls the blessing, value, sublime truth, the godliness and righteousness of YHVH's Torah law in Psalm 119. However, the early church fathers disagree with David's and the Bible's assessment of the God's law. Who is right? The Bible or the early church fathers who laid the theological foundation for what most Christians' aversion regarding the law to this day?

Re. Torah Obedience, R U a Torah Minimalist or Maximalist?

A lot of people talk about being Torah-obedient, but up close, their talk and walk don't match each other too well. Others claim to follow YHVH's Torah, but then find a rationale for not doing so when it inconveniences their lives, hinders their money making capabilities, or means becoming unpopular with their friends and loved ones. Still others, in reality, are only playing spiritual games while claiming to be Torah obedient, but live up only to the bare minimal requirements of the Torah while ignoring the rest. Do you fall into any of these categories? When it comes to Torah obedience, are you a minimalist or a maximalist? Yeshua talked about those who draw near to him with their mouths, but their hearts are from him. Hmm… Selah!
