A famous President once invoked us to think not what our country could do for us, but rather think what we can do for our country.

This does not work for the kingdom of Yah, perhaps more correct for that kingdom is the song “Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz”.

Yah is complete, and there is nothing that we can do to help Him out,   What we can do is to invoke a sweet savour to Him by following His Commandments, His Statutes and His Advices.   Essentially by putting His Knowledge of Good and Evil before our own (Adam’s).   We are implored to do this on just about every page of the bible, old and new.

When we are in Adam’s world, we do the bidding of the priest or Rabbi, sometimes, we even use our own knowledge to make our own decisions; often with the best of motives we try and help god out,   But Yah does not need our help, to him it is as soiled rags.

When we feel a need, either for ourselves or others, we should go into our private place and talk to Yah about it. Even if it seems ridiculous, Yes Father I would like that 450  SEL 6.9  and the gas to go with it.   But father, your will not mine (as Yahushua said).

Yah will make it happen if He so wills.  But he confident, will not give us a stone instead of bread.

I once heard children being taught to Pray, they were told that they could only pray for other people, not for themselves. What poppycock!   Nowhere in the scriptures do we find this it is man made gobbledygook!

To walk with Yah is to have a conversation with Yah, to discuss our lives with both Him and ourselves, and if He sees fit, that Merc. will arrive, But not by our efforts rather by His.

For we deal not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual wickedness in high places.

I live in Sderot Israel, and a few months ago we suffered and invasion from the supposed ‘Religion of Peace’.

There are many lies that we are supposed to believe, one of which is that all ‘cultures’ and ‘religions’ are ‘equal’ – They are not!.

When Yah Created His Kingdom is was a spiritual Creation, part of which became physical as a result of Adam choosing his own godship over being an acolyte of Yah.   Adam created a realm dominated by death, he did not know what ‘death’ is, but felt knowledgeable enough  to make the choice.

We are therefore born into this physical world of Adam’s choice, dominated by death and influenced by a serpent to always seek that death,

But Yah did not abandon us, he made provision for us to follow a Way back to Life.  We follow a path, a path cut by ‘Torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us’.

One can imagine it as a track through a jungle cut by Torah in the form of Yahushua, if we follow this Way, through the jungle of lies it exposes death as a lie too.

The serpent has obfuscated this pathway, he changes the names, and the scriptures that are supposed to guide us, he promotes huge lies the like of talmud totally designed to hide Yah’s truth and promote death, he tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that we are now covered by ‘grace’ and can ignore Torah (the signpost).

We, in our willing  ignorance, listen to the leaders of religion, and their lies, when Torah tells us to seek Yah’s TRUTH for ourselves.

We seek first the kingdom of our congregation (and all that it takes to conform to its rules) rather than looking at what Yah said.

There is only one way to Yah’s Life, and the gateway is the 10 commandments, start living the 10 commandments and looking for the Truths revealed in the Scriptures with all humility, you will find the gate that opens the Pathway, but it is a spiritual path not a physical (Adamic) path.

Paul described himself not as a Christian but as a ‘follower of the Way’ this is important, we cannot all be Paul, but we can all be follower’s of ‘the Way, The Truth and the Life’,   

In the struggle to understand Yah, we have two ‘truths’ to consider, first is Yah’s truth which has been constant since the day of His Creation, the other is Adam’s truth which varies according to the fashion of the time and which we can call the narrative (or religion) of the age.

A good example is the idea of ‘recreational sex’

Yah intended sea as a way to reproduce and so ensure the survival of believers as the faith is passed down from generation to generation (or not as the case may be).

The pagans use sex as a toy, especially now that contraception and abortion have changed the rules as Yah created them.

But the pagan way leads only to death; the eventual extinction of the species. 

Pregnancy is exhausting and uncomfortable, and bringing up children in a hostile environment can be challenging (and very fulfilling).

But each child conceived is a potential believer and is celebrated as such in the Kingdom of Yah.

Each child murdered in the womb is a violation of Yah’s commandment.

Just because there is no condemnation in Adam’s kingdom on earth does not mean there is no condemnation in the Kingdom of Yah.

TRUTH is as Yah Created it, not as Adam imagines it, if we seek first Yah’s truth then it truly does set us free, but to accept Adam’s ‘truths’ (the politics and religions of the day) is to be condemned to spiritual slavery.    

The TRUTH sets us free, anything else is bondage and stifles our relationship with Yah and leaves us open to the oppression of religion.

Mainstream Christians worship a ‘cross’ a Roman instrument of torture and death, and whilst Jesus  (Yahushua) only took a few hours to die, many poor victims took several days of extreme pain. hunger and thirst.

But death is not a construct of Yah, it is something that happened as a result of Adam’s decision to eat of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

This act placed a huge barrier between God and man, Adam became a God, knowing (his own) good from his own bad; gods, define good (and therefore) evil for their followers and worshipers.

When Torah became flesh and dwelt amongst us (the word in the Hebrew John 1 is ‘debar’ translated to Greek as ‘logos’, and then into English as ‘Word’ losing all its Hebrew nuances). That living Torah, knew that he would have to go through Adam’s ‘death’ in order to prove that the WORD of Yah was superior to anything Adam had ‘created’.

Is the resurrection that broke the hold of Adam over mankind. Yahushua proved once and for all that you could ‘kill’ the fleshly Torah, but that Yah’s word is eternal and the resurrection was thus inevitable.

In ‘death’ we are judged by Adam’s folly.   But if we take Yah’s pathway through death, then we can move through death to life eternal.

The pathway was cut through Adam’s jungle by Yahushua, hence Paul calling himself a follower of the ‘Way’.

To worship a ‘cross’ is to worship death, it is the resurrection that is important.   It is of no consequence how Yahushua died, except to fulfil bible prophesy, what is much more important is that death could not hold Torah (Yahushua).

To worship a cross is to disobey the 2^nd commandment, the cross as used by many Christian Churches is a graven image signifying the abandonment of Torah and the acceptance of ‘grace’ as the guiding force of life in Adam’s domain.   Our eyes must always be on what Yahushua achieve by His resurrection and the renewal of man’s direct relationship with his Creator whose WORD is Torah.

There is a Way, and it is the only way to Salvation, it is not about the death of one Jesus on a Roman torture device called a cross, but is about Yah’s Torah being made flesh and dwelling amongst us, going through Adam’s ‘death’ and escaping that ‘death’ to make a pathway to restore the ‘believer’ to eternal life.

Religion obfuscates this simple message. It encourages us to worship and finance a priesthood, a rabbinate or the local Pastor.

There is the ‘Kingdom of God’ where Yah rules, and a ‘kingdom of Adam’ where man rules.    We are born into the kingdom of Adam.   There is a pathway that we must follow to get to the Kingdom of Yah.   This pathway had to be hacked out of man’s ‘jungle’ by Yahushua (Jesus) who is Torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us.

Men would have us think that there are many ‘ways’ to earn our salvation, but most of them lead nowhere except to a dead end.   These men are there because it is profitable, but a spiritually blind man cannot ‘see’ Yah’s pathway and usually invents his own.

To step onto Yah’s WAY we must first seek to leave the pigsty which is Adam’s kingdom.   But first we must recognize that we are actually in Adam’s kingdom and not in Yah’s kingdom.    Yah’s kingdom is defined by Torah, a signpost, if we discard Torah, “nail it to a cross” because it is inconvenient then we will never find Yah’s WAY.

Torah pre-existed Moses’ 5 books of Law but is incorporated in those 5 books, Abraham had ‘Torah’ and was a man of faith and righteousness, he kept the Laws, statutes and advices of Yah.

Religion seeks to redefine ‘god’ in an acceptable form, Yah says we must seek the WAY and thus come to Him of our own free will, with no intermediaries and following the pathway hacked out by Yahushua, there is no other WAY.

Paul was a follower of the WAY, and he tells us this when he is asked his ‘religion’.

If we seek first Yah’s KINGDOM and His Righteousness (Torah). He tells us that He will allow us to find Him, no matter what the circumstances.   But we must be seeking Yah’s Kingdom not some Adamic clone.   The Pathway is a spiritual one, and it runs from Adam’s kingdom to Yah’s KINGDOM. It is called Yahushua who was ”Torah made flesh”.

The rejection of Yah at Mt. Horeb (Mt. Sinai) was catastrophic, Moses thus wrote the books of law that showed the Pathway in a ‘picture’ language of Tabernacle worship in the hope that some would ‘see’ Yah’s truths.   The Feasts of Yah all show us various aspects of the WAY from Yom Kippur where we have to ‘choose’ which goat we follow, to unleavened bread where we can throw out the ‘leaven of the pharisees’ (inflated religion).

There is only one WAY, and we, personally must choose it.   We must reject the religions of men and choose a personal relationship with Yah.   

To get Yah’s attention we must “seek his face” as well as humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways.

What does it mean to “seek his face”

In Hebrew, words can have deep meanings, much deeper than translate well into English,   So His Face is the part of Him that makes Him recognisable, not just visibly but spiritually too,

Yah IS the Creator, but like all creators he can be the destroyer, removing any object that displeases Him because it is out of line with His Creation, and that could include me because I am born into Adam’s creation not Yah’s.

If however I am willing to be transformed to His Image and Likeness then I am off to a good start.

When Adam fell, he projected his own image and likeness, his “face”, upon the world that he created by the sweat of his labour.   It is into this world, Adam’s world that we are born.

As we live our lives we have to choose which face we seek, Yah’s face or Adams face, and we cannot mingle the two; they are miscible.

To even recognise Yah’s face is difficult, we have to read and assimilate the scriptures for ourselves, we have to become Yah compatible and learn to have a personal relationship with Him, we have to leave Adam’s world and take the steep and narrow pathway to Yah’s world.   Along that Way we will be transformed to something that reflects His face, His Image, His likeness, and when we come eventually to His gates, the cherubim guards will look at us and see Him, and let us through.

No religion, no Rabbi, Priest, Vicar or Pastor can do this for us, they will need to be looking vainly for their own salvation having probably played ‘god’ to millions.

I would not like to be in the shoes of those who have lead Yah’s flocks astray, substituting their face for Yah’s face.   Having a personal relationship with a rabbi or pastor does not get you along Yah’s pathway to those Gates, and if you are not careful, it is the gates of hell that will prevail instead….

As children we absorb the culture into which we are born, and it becomes part of our psyche.   For most people, this culture is Adamic and is not regarded by Yah as anything other than a pigsty.

To get closer to Yah, we have to start to see things as Yah sees them, first we have to find the ‘door’ of the pigsty and look out at Yah’s creation.

We are discouraged from this by the cultural forces around us, the traditions of finance, religion and politics want us to be benign and profitable (for their benefit, not ours).

We can read about the Acts of the Apostles, in the book of Acts and in the various epistles, and we can see the vast differences between how those men and women acted and how religions today insist that we should act.

Do you go to ‘church’ on a Sunday morning as prescribed by the Roman hierarchy, or do you keep the Seventh day ‘set apart’ as the 10 commandments require us to do?

Do you think that it does not matter what Yah commands because Jesus said we could disobey His father?

You need to make these decisions for yourself, follow Yah, or follow yhe culture you grew up in, each of us has to step outside the pigsty and follow the Way as dictated by the scriptures, both Jewish and Christian.

Righteousness before Yah is about being compliant with His Creation, unrighteousness begins by trowing other gods in His face, and those gods include the gods of our birth culture; the are no Rabbis, priests or vicars in the scriptures, pastors in the scripture are part of a team that include teachers, prophets, apostles (missionaries) and evangelists.

Yah expects us to achieve Hs righteousness in all humility and obedience as we walk the pathway that starts at the door of our pigsty and leads to our heavenly Father’s gates.

Prayer is the invocation of magic in our lives, it can be earth magic from Adam, or the abundant magic that flows from Yah and gives us life.

Firstly, we can pray for anything, including that Mercedes Benz, Yah puts no restrictions on what we pray for, He just might not grant it.    I once heard a Sunday school teacher telling the children that they must not pray for themselves, he was wrong, prayer is asking for magic, and we can trust Yah with our prayers as long as we pray in private.

Public prayer is not a normal part of our dialogue with Yah, and is an obvious means of virtue signalling.   We should be discussing our deepest needs, wants and desires with Yah, not publicly invoking earth magic.

To pray, we go into our private place, we humble ourselves before Yah and seek his face.   Then if we are ‘righteous’ according to His standards, he hears our prayers.

We don’t tell Yah what to do, we just tell him what we want, He will decide the how.   It is not humility when we give Yah commandments and instructions.

Yah is not a man and does not need to advertise his services, he makes private deals with us to do magic in our lives (or not).

We need to approach His gates with prayer, with joy, with thanksgiving, He is going to do the great work, not us.    We need to seek His face, get His attention, we do this by humility, prayer and righteousness (keeping His Torah and His commandments).   It is like being in grade school again, we get the teacher’s attention by following a protocol, usually by raising our hand, not by bellowing out in a disruptive manner, and when the teacher is ready, she will listen to us.

Being humble in prayer is about obedience rather than making demands, ask and it shall be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened.

Please Father, If it is approved, may this blog entry be read by all and sundry and give a blessing to those who read it….

Are you doing as Yah commanded, or are you doing things your own way?

Or maybe you follow a religion that is man-made not God made.

If we love Yah then we must keep His commandments, not our own, and certainly not those of the priests, vicars pastors and rabbis who get paid to put bums on seats and spout religious propaganda designed to get YOU to part with your money.

Among the first and the last acts of Yahushua was to clear the temple courtyard of the money changers who fleeced the visitors whom, in order to donate to the temple, had to change their money into the ‘temple currency’; a man made law.

The traders could manipulate exchange rates and could pay bribes to the temple authorities….

The whole temple system had become corrupt.

Yah commands us to keep the Sabbath holy, the word Sabbath is derived from the Hebrew for seven and is the seventh day, i.e. Saturday; Sunday is the first day, yom rishion.

If you keep Sunday then you are worshiping the Roman sun god…..

Paul had no authority to change Shabbat to any other day of the week, in fact neither Paul or Yahushua had any authority to change the ‘Word’ of Yah (Torah).

Are you a trader, making a profit from man made religion?   If Yahushua came back today would he throw out your nice little money earner?

Here in Israel we have to pay a religious tax on all sorts of products, food, cleaning stuff, even those living on pensions and benefits hae to pay.   The rabbis collect and live well on the proceeds, but when they come before Yah He will be asking the some very hard questions, one of which will be why they are taxing the widows and orphans in the name of their God?

If you are collecting religious taxes from the assembly then be afraid, be very afraid…..

We are commanded to give to those who guide us in truth and righteousness, there is a stark difference between ‘giving’ of one’s own volition and to have money extorted to pay ‘temple’ taxes.   

My writings on this site are a hotchpotch of musings of someone seeking Yah’s Truths over several years, during which times my beliefs have matured rather than changed.

Paul called himself a follower of the Way for a reason, and Yahushua gave us the parable of the prodigal son as an introduction to the Way so that we could understand that we have to leave the false comfort zone of the pigsty, and to start to follow Way to the gates of the Father.

But first we need to understand what the pigsty really is.

Simply put, it is the world that Adam created when he became a god using his own knowledge of good and bad acquired through the disobedience of eating the forbidden fruit .   We are born into Adam’s creation, into Adam’s (and the serpent’s) godship.   Although Adam’s creation may lie close to Yah’s Creation, Adam’s creation is encapsulated and separated from Yah by death.   It is important to remember this because our whole salvation depends upon us escaping from the tentacles of death.

If we do not believe that “in the beginning, Yah created”  then we are not able to escape death and are probably very content to stay in Adam’s pigsty.   We probably cannot see that there is even a problem.

When Yah spoke the world into existence, the words he used became the skeleton of His Creation, much like the steel girders that are the framework of a large building.

These words we call TORAH and are at the whole root of our existence, they were there in the beginning, they were part of Yah and contained the Power of Yah to Create.   It is a futile effort to try and discard or change and replace Yah’s Torah as mainstream religions have done over the centuries; they have a form of Torah (or a new covenant) that emanates from the godship of Adam and is suited to pigsties only.

The first requirement upon us before starting our journey along The Way is to have our eyes opened to Yah’s Torah, this enables us to see the light in the doorway.

But we must now use our Yah given free will to move into the light so that we can actually see the outside and the beginnings of The Way which leads from the door of the pigsty to the gates of Eden defended by the Cherubim with their mighty swords.

We have to do this, there can be no surrogates; no Rabbi, Pope or Pastor can do it for us.

If you believe in evolution and big bangs then you will never even see the light of the doorway, and your moral skeleton will be rooted in sand not rock.
