A Recap of Sabbath Services at the Great House of Yahweh…
Sabbath Line-Up
Children Will Prophesy – Son of Yisrayl Abel
-
We Must Repent and Call Upon Yahweh’s Name
The Great Kohan Qoheleth spoke on duties of Priesthood
-
Pastor explained that Cain and Abel were not boys but Priests of Yahweh; through Pastor’s teaching, about their offerings, we recognized that Abel understood that we need a Savior
-
Yahweh’s objective is that Yahweh’s People obey the Voice of Yahweh; we must eat the meat of the word – put away sacrifices but practice discerning the difference between Righteousness and evil; learn to do Righteousness
-
Yahweh’s People are being built to be The House of Yahweh; offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Yahweh – we are the Body of Messiah; not physical sacrifices, as in former times, because they could not take away sin
-
Specific example of offering – grain offering; grain means innate quality or character of a thing; innate means from mind or intellect; therefore the grain offering reveals our character is to be trained to highest point of efficiency; grain comes from wheat; fine flour had to be free of impurities, and we must be free of sin; every offering required salt, oil, frankincense, fire, light, and the Kohan gave us detailed explanations for each; flour sifted 13 times which coincides with Yahweh’s 13 Attributes
-
Remember Satan would want to remove us from Yahweh’s House; we must endure tests and rejoice through our tribulations because Yahweh has a Plan for us, and we have hope in Yahweh our Father – definitely cause for rejoicing!
-
It is imperative that we go through difficult times in order to learn we are to seek Yahweh for everything; furthermore, we must prove to Yahweh that He can trust us
-
Yahshua was a sweet smelling aroma to Yahweh through His Life of keeping Yahweh’s Laws perfectly
-
The Kohan paraphrased Leviticus 2:1-2 on the grain offering in spiritual sense and is worthy of a re-visit to appreciate a deeper meaning (hence the meat)
Scriptures: Genesis 4:2-5; Yeremyah 7:21-23; Hebrews 5:14, 10:1-10; I Corinthians 3:16, 9-15; I Kepha 2:4-5; Leviticus 2:1-2, 11, 13, 23:8; Mattithyah 3:12; Luke 22:31; II Corinthians 7:9-11; I Timothy 1:6-7; Ephesians 5:1-2
The Great Kohan Mattithyah A. spoke about tests/trials that young people face
-
Our minds are not designed to automatically choose to do right, we must face mental battles and overcome the carnal mind
-
Pride is a great obstacle to overcome; we must be diligent to be on guard against pride, because it leads to destruction; pride can destroy Spirit Holy
-
Pastor taught we must accept and submit ourselves humbly to the teachings taught in Yahweh’s House through His Servant, Yisrayl
-
A young person is always given instruction or “told what to do” and it is important to submit to correction and instruction; this concept applies to all ages but most notably to a young person
-
The human mind is the greatest computer – man will never be able to replicate it; access to full use of the mind Yahweh gave us will come to those who obey Yahweh completely
-
The Kohan gave several examples of how our minds are easily drawn to carnality, while seeking after Righteousness which we must be trained to achieve – learn to strive for it
-
The word priest has the meaning of guarding and inspecting all aspects of life and reason; they seem to be “sticking their nose in everything”; we all should be thankful for their intervention
-
Although we have different jobs/roles in Yahweh’s House, we are mindful that Yahweh’s Plan is to build us to become Priests and Priestesses in Yahweh’s House; we are to teach Yahweh’s Way, His Judgments for all eternity throughout the Universe
-
This is our one-time opportunity to accomplish a meaningful life; and we have great things to look forward to, including resurrecting those who lived before us, being great managers
Scriptures: I Corinthians 13:11; Psalm 55:22, 101:5; Romans 1:21, 28; Proverbs 16:18-19; Yeremyah 9:12-14,
The Great Kohan David D. spoke on our ways/work that reflect what is going on in our heart
-
Why did they want to have a king in Samuyl’s time instead of Yahweh – because they rejected Yahweh
-
We should want to be like David and be a person who is after Yahweh’s Own Heart
-
Qualities of David: he did not take offense, he strove to have a pure, clean heart; he did not retaliate, he was loyal to Yahweh’s anointed; the Kohan cautioned against focusing on David’s sin for he repented fully, do not make the error in thinking a person can sin deliberately by citing David’s sin – that would be a gross error
-
How does Yahweh examine our heart – He sees what we do and what we say, for it is a reflection of what is going on in our heart; we must not become proud/arrogant; Yahweh seeks for humility
-
Of note: When Samuyl was seeking for a replacement for King Shaul, David was not among the brothers and had to be summoned; David did not take offense to not being present, and the Kohan tells us not to take offense if we are not included or invited and feel we are neglected – know that if we strive to have Yahweh’s Own Heart – we have Yahweh with us; remember that Yahweh tests/examines our hearts and we should be thankful
-
Treat others with respect; be disrespected rather than being disrespectful toward others
-
Attain to gathering the precious oil of teaching from Pastor every Sabbath – it is our golden anointing oil toward the offices we are attaining to
-
Do not reject the jobs we have been given – they train us for greater work
-
David proved that he would lay down his life for the sheep – he didn’t just “do his job” he did more, he went above and beyond, he did more than he was commanded to do (that is our reasonable service, our duty)
-
To Supervisors: see that the work is done but also to allow others to do more – their willingness to do more is vital to Yahweh, do not hinder their efforts
-
Strive to stop cursing because cursing defiles us and diminishes our efforts to purify our hearts before Yahweh
Scriptures: Acts 13:21-22; Yeremyah 17:9-10; Revelation 22:12; Romans 15:4; I Samuyl 9:1-2, 16:4-13, 17:32-34; Luke 17:10
The Great Kohan Kenath spoke about preparing ourselves for Yahshua’s Memorial and Passover in Unity
-
Feast of Unleavened Bread – 19th-27th fourth roman month (approximately 7 weeks from this date)
-
Yahshua had the foundation to become in Yahweh’s Image, He fulfilled every Prophecy written about Him; Yahshua showed the Power of the Law over sin; we would not know how to conquer sin without Yahshua’s Perfect Sacrifice
-
Pastor taught us how to endure through persecution/sufferings; we see the world at this time under the deception of sin – these are perilous times
-
Upon baptism we show that in our hearts we desire to be Righteous
-
We must follow rules/guidelines set down by Pastor and not attempt to take responsibilities/authority that is not given to us
-
The way we become in Unity with Yahweh is to repent of our sins; the restoration (Acts 3:21) we long for is dependent upon our overcoming and coming into Unity
-
We have the objective of removing all hatred and anger from our hearts/minds regarding our brethren before we make offerings to Yahweh (Mattithyah 5:23-24); this is a lawful teaching (Leviticus 6:5-6)
-
We have to be forgiving – learn to forgive; extremely important before Yahshua’s Memorial
Scripture: Leviticus 6:2-7, 23:5; Hebrews 1:1-4; I Corinthians 15:55-57; II Timothy 3:10-12, 1-5; Mattithyah 5:21-24, 20:20-23; Psalm 91:1-11; Colossians 2:16-17; Acts 3:18-22; Deuteronomy 8:2, 5; Philippians 2:12-18; Yahchanan Mark 11:25-26
