Tending the Temple Daily

  When I first began this journey of Torah Prusant, applying what I knew about the Sabbath was one of the first things I did. Eating clean was the second thing. Keeping Sabbath was a no-brainer, it is one of the 10 commandments.  I never understood why, as Christians,  we ignored that one. Probably why the command begins with the word remember . (Exodus 20:8-11) To find out what does it mean to keep the Sabbath Holy, may I suggest a word search for the word sabbath  in your Bible app. My search shows 154 times the word sabbath is used throughout the whole Canonized Bible, beginning in Exodus. However, we first learn about the Sabbath in Genesis 2:2. Going through your word search, you will find guidance concerning the Sabbath.  I love how Yah gave us detailed instructions regarding His ways. We need the structure.   You will also learn that the Sabbath is a sign that you belong to The Most High. (Exodus 31:13) Is marks you with the name YHVH. Everyone ...

  Sukkot - Feast of Booths, practice for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb - Yah is our sustenance and provider of all things - community of Believers, known as The Seed of Abraham with Yahusha as our High Priest, living in community.  This is how I understand this feast unto YHVH. Exodus 23:16, Deuteronomy 16:13-17, Leviticus 23:34-43   This was our third year to keep the Feast with other believers. Before that, we kept the feast camping in our yard. We just have no fellowship, no meeting with like hearted believers, near us. We travel to SW Missouri to keep the Feast with Ancient Path Fellowship. Over these three years we've developed lifelong relationships with people from all over, and we are so thankful. It is such a revitalizing experience, we go home refreshed, and immediately begin planning next year's trip.  Some things were a little different this year.  Location: new location, the Ministry now owns some land,  and are getting it cleaned and cleared, ...

Christians are martyred every single day somewhere on this Earth. We never hear their names nor their stories. We don't hear about their incredible faith and trials. Western Christianity doesn't give much attention at all to the suffering of our fellow believers.  Christians were about 2% of the Palestinian population according to a quick Google search, it was 10% in 1948. This has happened right before our very eyes, and we didn't see it. These families had been there for over 2000 years.  According to romereports.com, 4476 Christians were martyred in 2024. There are several websites that track this data.  How about the whole communities of Christians slaughtered in Syria right now? The msm isn't covering it. How would you know? https://persecution.org/2025/09/19/update-on-syria-a-new-era-or-more-of-the-same-for-syrian-christians/ Congo?  https://www.opendoorsus.org/en-US/stories/100-plus-christians-slaughtered-in-drc/ Kenya? https://persecution.org/2024/04/10/al-sh...

Have you been saved? Have you ever asked someone that question? Has anyone asked you? Well, how about: saved from what? How would you answer that question?  The Greek word so'zo' (Strong's #4982) meaning to deliver or protect, save and heal appears 106 times in 99 verses in the KJV. 93 times it means to save , 9 times it means to heal , 3 times it means to be whole , according to The Blue Letter Bible website.  The Hebrew word yasha (Strong's 3467) meaning deliver, rescue, and preserve appears 205 times in the the KJV Bible. 149 times it means save , 15 times it means saviour , 13 times it means deliver, 12 times it means help, 5 times it means preserved, 3 times it means salvation, it is also translated avenging, at all, avenged, defend, rescue, safe, and victory  another 8 times. Again according to The Blue Letter Bible website.  The Greek word soterias ( Strong's #G4991) translated salvation is used to describe the act of delivering from destruction, danger, or ...

I want to forgive so completely that I forget. I have always heard "forgive and forget" but I kinda figured only Yah could actually do it. Until recently,  I would have said exactly that.   I walk myself thru this process of forgiveness, always setting boundaries and keeping an arm's length,  if you know what I mean.  And, Yes! Boundaries are good when properly applied. No doubt! But setting boundaries for self protection isn't really operating in faith.  Boundaries can put a buffer between yourself and the offender's possible future offenses, true. But the boundaries should serve in loving that offender as well. It's not love to allow someone to continue in sinful behavior.  Btw, Yah didn't instruct us to protect ourselves from future offences. More on that later.  I have learned I can, and have forgiven to the point that I forgot. I forgot what happened, and I forgot the pain. I usually view myself as one who tends to hold a grudge.  I am d...

  You know that kid, the one who always has "Why?" on the tip of their tongue? I think I might be that kid.  I realize I have a "Teresa" perspective, I'm trying to make sense of the information,  and therefore, I question much.  I question what the teacher presents, not to be contentious,  but to gain more understanding. As a Bible student in church, I moved from sitting in front with my hand raised to sitting in the back just observing.  I was not getting answers that actually answered. With enough of that, the teacher and student become frustrated, for far different reasons.  I learned to repeat the Church doctrine, being reassured I would understand with time... Yeah, not so much.  I could easily read my Bible, seemed pretty straightforward to me. But why didn't we as Christians do what it says? It says to do this, but we do that. But why? Sometimes the response was a Bible verse...ok. I guess I don't see what I'm supposed to.  For instanc...

  I often wonder about my place in The Kingdom of Yahuah.  Sometimes, it's a season of time that I dwell on the subject. I can be very hard on myself.  What have I accomplished? Have I made a difference? Even for one person. Have my flaws out shined my positives? I wish I could run into so-n-so that I could apologize for my really bad behavior way back in the day. My mind can run on and on.  There are so many people who have come in and out of my life. Some for a short time, some for a while. And I wish I could say I  have no regrets, but I can't.  Really at the end of it all, being a positive for whomever crosses my path, a light, a sign pointing to Yahusha, is my goal. But it wasn't always so.  And it's during those moments where "it wasn't always so" that I have sorrow and remorse.  How I long to see Michaela again, so I can ask her forgiveness.  I want to speak with Lisa, and apologize for not doing more to help her. But I can't find them...
