Highlights/Verses from Today Services
Featured Scripture: The Tenth of the Seventh Moon is the Day of Atonement. It shall be a Holy Convocation for you. You shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. You shall do none of your work at all on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you in front of Yahweh your Heavenly Father.
Any person who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. Any person who does any work on that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. You shall do no manner of work at all; it shall be a Statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings, wherever you may live (Leviticus 23:27-32)
- Yahweh’s very specific on keeping the Day of Atonement—24-hour fast, no personal work, gather for services, Day of Atonement meal offering, let go of negative thoughts, hatred, strife, etc.
- Offering made by fire means—the spirit, power, force, and internal ardor (diligence) of the mind; it ties in with Positive Law #2; unity means oneness of mind/involves making connection with Yahweh in total agreement
- Satan’s lie has ‘baited’ mankind with doubt by questioning Yahweh’s instruction—do not partake of both Righteousness/evil; Satan lied, saying ‘you shall not surely die’ and she uses lust as her main way to deceive/destroy mankind
All things are from Yahweh, Who has reconciled us to Himself through Yahshua Messiah, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation (Isayah 45:18)
- Power is knowledge—we know there is no other source of power than Yahweh
- Accepting Yahweh’s Word is “a choice” we have the freedom to make—if we seek after knowledge/wisdom diligently, we will eventually know/understand the knowledge of Yahweh
- Our endeavor ought to be, to become as Yahshua, as Pastor has taught us—first, we need to recognize Yahshua’s sacrifice and the knowledge of reconciliation; focus on humility on this Day of Atonement, do not make excuses, but acknowledge our sins, and ask for forgiveness
- Never stop the overcoming process—must confess sins
For whoever keeps the whole Law, and yet offends in one point, he is guilty of all… So speak, and so do, as those who are being judged by the Law of liberty… (Yaaqob 2:10, 12)
- We ought not to speak evil of things we don’t understand; determine if it’s the message we do not understand or an underlying rejection of the person who delivers the message—strive to repent, then study using The Book of Yahweh, Books of Yisrayl, and House of Yahweh publications
- Everything in Scripture, as we study, should include self-examination
- The way we are begotten (of Yahweh) is through the teaching of the Priests, and practicing what they teach according to Yahweh’s Laws
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. That you would show forth the praises of Him Who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of Yahweh. Who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy (I Kepha 2:9)
- Our attitudes and behaviors should reflect Righteousness before all people
- What comes forth from The House of Yahweh is right—we should not speak against what we do not understand or speak negative thoughts/ideas around others—be quick to repent
- Don’t go back to former ways, when we lived in ignorance—strive to be found holy in all our conduct
- Do not forget—sin immediately cuts us off from Yahweh—and requires reconciliation again through confession, repentance, and conversion

Concluding verses:
The trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold, which perishes, though it is tried with fire, might be found worthy of praise, honor, and glory, at the appearing of Yahshua Messiah (I Kepha 1:7)
