What is True Israel?

What makes us part of Israel?
When we follow/fulfill the commandments of the Father.
 
John 14:15-21 Names of God Bible (NOG)
15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever. 17 That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you. 21 Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.”
Deuteronomy 4:1-6 Names of God Bible (NOG)
Moses Reminds Israel to Be Loyal to the Lord
4 Israel, listen to the laws and rules I am about to teach you. Obey them so that you will live and be able to enter and take possession of the land that Yahweh Elohim of your ancestors is giving you. 2 Never add anything to what I command you, or take anything away from it. Then you will be able to obey the commands of Yahweh your Elohim that I give you.
3 With your own eyes you saw what Yahweh did at Baal Peor. Yahweh your Elohim destroyed everyone among you who worshiped the god Baal while you were at Peor. 4 But you were loyal to Yahweh your Elohim and are still alive today.
5 I have taught you laws and rules as Yahweh my Elohim commanded me. You must obey them when you’ve entered the land and taken possession of it. 6 Faithfully obey these laws. This will show the people of the world your wisdom and insight. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, “What wise and insightful people there are in this great nation!”

Be like Jacob, not Esau

BirthRight Blessing
Ann was a model of the Birthright Blessing.  
Birthright blessing is a concept we see in the bible where the inheritance of the Father went to the son that had the father's heart.  The one that was about His Father's business and not his own self interest. The one that was interested in pursuing the building of God’s promises and His kingdom over his  own self interest.
The Birthright blessing can be seen in Jacob. Jacob was about the affairs of his father and the affairs of God, so was Joseph. While their brothers were only interested in their own self interest and personal gains.  Jacob and Joseph were about doing the will of their Heavenly Father.
Ann was like Jacob. She was not like Esau.  Ann wants us, those left behind in her legacy, to be like Jacob and not like Esau.  You see Esau was not interested in the blessings from God. His mind was on the flesh, what he could fill his stomach with and how he could provide for himself with his own two hands.
Ann was about her Father's Business her entire life. She never sought her own fame or self interest.  Ann wants all of us to stop being like Esau and to become more like Jacob. If you have been like Esau, this is the time for you to straighten up. Turn it around. Become interested in the Father’s business and repent and be baptized.  
Ann was a model of Jesus.  She brought him wherever she went.  She was a mother for Nema when she needed one the most.  She was a mother for me when I needed her the most. She helped save us and make us what are today.
Ann is no longer with us in body.  She is only sleeping. We one day will be reunited with her if we have learned to live like her.  Heaven isn’t for everyone. It’s a choice to pursue the Kingdom of God. When you walk away from here today you will have the choice to pursue the Birthright and be grafted into the promise of Abraham, or choose the broad path of destruction.  Ann would want you to choose the kingdom. It’s up to you and what you are going to do.
Hebrews 12:14-18 Names of God Bible (NOG)
14 Try to live peacefully with everyone, and try to live holy lives, because if you don’t, you will not see the Lord. 15 Make sure that everyone has kindness[a] from God so that bitterness doesn’t take root and grow up to cause trouble that corrupts many of you. 16 Make sure that no one commits sexual sin or is as concerned about earthly things as Esau was. He sold his rights as the firstborn son for a single meal. 17 You know that afterwards, when he wanted to receive the blessing that the firstborn son was to receive, he was rejected. Even though he begged and cried for the blessing, he couldn’t do anything to change what had happened.

What to do When Someone is on Death's Door

When you have a loved one that is on death's door you must not tarry.  Make it happen, go see them, visit, and or call.  Consider recording their voice or take a video of the stories they have to say.   
Pray for them to make peace with Yahuah, and loved ones. That they say "I love you" to the people that matter the most. Pray that they make restitution for any wrongs they have caused. 
1 Corinthians
15:55 Names of God Bible (NOG)
55 Death, where is your victory?    Death, where is your sting?”
 
Matthew 9:23-26 Names of God Bible (NOG)
23 Yeshua came to the synagogue leader’s house. He saw flute players and a noisy crowd. 24 He said to them, “Leave! The girl is not dead. She’s sleeping.” But they laughed at him.
25 When the crowd had been put outside, Yeshua went in, took her hand, and the girl came back to life.
26 The news about this spread throughout that region.
 
 

Happy Not New Year!

When does the New Year really begin?  Does it really begin in the middle of the new year? When we have the least amount of sunlight, cold, and everything is dead.  Find out when the year really is to begin.

Gay, not the happy kind of way

Romans 1:26-27 Names of God Bible 
26 For this reason God allowed their shameful passions to control them. Their women have exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 Likewise, their men have given up natural sexual relations with women and burn with lust for each other. Men commit indecent acts with men, so they experience among themselves the punishment they deserve for their perversion.
