You Have An Open Invitation

August 27, 2015 By

What if God told you when He would meet with you? Would you go? Would you stop the world so that you could make this appointment? Would it take the utmost priority in your schedule? What if He told you the conditions under which to approach Him? Would you meet those conditions?

Adonai declared to the children of Israel that He would meet with them as a people during several times throughout the year. In Leviticus 23:1-2, “The LORD said to Moses, ‘Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.’”  We believe that Adonai is speaking so vociferously in the underscored words. Adonai says these feasts are His. He has appointed moments in this space-time continuum when He will meet with His people. These times have been appointed. To us, that means we cannot change these times. They cannot be altered. They are set in stone. He has declared these times to be sacred, a time when the Divine meets the human and the human is allowed entrance into the presence of the Divine. Wow! Imagine—all of God’s people on those days assembling themselves to worship the Creator and to hear from Him! Imagine this—that one of the most assured ways of meeting with Yeshua is on the days He selected!

Maybe you never thought that Leviticus 23:1-2 was a clarion call to you! Maybe you thought you were not included in these appointed feasts of the Lord! Maybe you thought that these appointments were no longer in effect! Or just maybe you have always been curious about them but didn’t know how to go about securing more information!

Messianic Pastors David & Juanita Weiss and the Kingdom Life Messianic Congregation, a kehillat of Jewish & nonJewish believers in Messiah Yeshua, cordially invite you to share with us as we celebrate these appointed times with Yeshua as the center:

ROSH HASHANAH/YOM TERUAH (The Feast of Trumpets) Yom Yom Teruah *Monday, September 14, 10:30 A.M. *Saturday, September 19, 10:30 A.M., Concert with Messianic Worship Leader Jimmie Black from Beit B’resheet, St. Louis, MO

He’s waiting for your RSVP.

Supreme Court Decision: A Reflection

July 2, 2015 By

God stood in front of Abraham. (Genesis 18)

“Can I do in Sodom what I am about to do and not tell Abraham?” He reasons.

The answer is a resounding “No!”

How do I know?

Because Abraham began to intercede for Sodom. Abraham connected with Adonai’s heart and began to intercede.  “If I can find 50 righteous in the city, will you save Sodom?” Abraham asked God.

God agreed. After Abraham goes from 50, to 30, t0 20, down to 10, “the LORD went his way” (Gen. 18:33); and needless to say the cites of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because there were not even ten righteous people in them.

Well, He says today: “Can I do in  America what I am about to do and not tell my Faithful?”
The answer is still a resounding “No!”

As He stands in our presence, can we connect with Adonai’s heart?

  • Do we believe God’s Word over the word of Supreme Court judges?
  • Do we get depressed over their ruling on gay marriage or do we allow the Holy Spirit to motivate us to advance the Kingdom?
  • Do we sit and watch the news & listen to all the talking heads or do we get in the Word of God and seek His truth!
  • Do we realize that Biblical truth has nothing to do with political correctness!? Political correctness does not abrogate God’s commands.
  • Do we realize that the Kingdom of this World is totally opposite from the Kingdom of Darkness?
  • Do we beseech the Lord for our nation the way Abraham invoked the Lord for Sodom?

What did Abraham do?

  1. He drew near to God. (Genesis 18:23) Draw near, beloved!
  2. He persistently and steadily interceded. (Genesis 18:24-31) Pray without ceasing, saints.
  3. In fearful deference to the Almighty, he asked God to spare Sodom. (Genesis 18:30) Ask, favored ones.

Will we dare to let our lights shine brighter in a perverse world?

Will we apprehend God the way Abraham did: knowing that God will indeed destroy a city because of the wicked … BUT he will save a nation because of the righteous!

And when “He goes on His way” we will know that we have done as his love has mandated.

TRUE VS. TRUTH

June 17, 2015 By

In Numbers 14, Moses sends the spies out to scout the Land of Canaan — all 12 of them. They scout the land for 40 days. Ten of them bring back a negative report. What they report is TRUE, which is the reality they discern with their senses. BUT it is not TRUTH. Yeshua called Himself the Way the TRUTH and the life! Anything that is not seen through His filter, though it may be TRUE, it is NOT TRUTH!!

It was TRUE that there were giants in the land . . . but that was not TRUTH!
It was TRUE that there were walled cities . . . but that was not TRUTH!
It was TRUE that these giants were powerful . . . but that was not the TRUTH!
Their untruthful statements stir the people to unrest.

Caleb, one of the spies, along with Yehoshua, brought the good report
They tried to get the people to listen to TRUTH, not what is TRUE
TRUTH —

“Adonai said we can take it so let’s go do it; He said it is ours;
“He has given it to us; so let’s possess it!”

They didn’t want to hear TRUTH!
They were too busy focusing on the walled cities, the giants, and they were so busy seeing themselves through the eyes of the enemies, what was true, indeed!!! But it was not TRUTH!

All night long they complained against TRUTH (Have you ever done it?)
All night long they murmured (Have you ever been there?)

“We should have died in Egypt
Or at least in the desert
Now we’ll die here
Our wives & children will be taken as plunder
Why not go back to Egypt”

Moses and Aaron fall to their faces in repentance.

YEHOSHUA the son of Nun tears his clothing and intercedes:
HE is the PRODDER, prodding his people to trust God. He says,

“This land is very good!
If the Lord is pleased with us,
He will lead us into the land!
Don’t rebel!
Don’t be afraid!
We will swallow them up!
Their protection is gone;
The Lord is with us!”

It is TRUTH that he speaks to them in the face of what’s TRUE.
Then they tried to stone TRUTH
!
Then God Himself, the voice of TRUTH speaks, but His TRUTH is not in their favor!

PRAYER: Father, we battle all day with TRUTH and what is TRUE! We have many times chosen what’s TRUE! Forgive us! Forgive us for complaining against TRUTH and even trying to silence it! Yeshua, you ARE TRUTH! Help us to see ourselves and this world from the TRUTH of your eyes. Amen!

Celebration of Pentecost

May 12, 2015 By

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 2015 — 5:00 P.M.
Kingdom Life Messianic Congregation
1280 Bells Mill Road, Chesapeake 23322

Kingdom Life Messianic Congregation invites you to share in our Celebration of Pentecost (“Shavuot” in the Hebrew). As we count the Days of the Omer, the time when Yeshua revealed Himself to His disciples after His resurrection, we anticipate, as the disciples did, the sending of the “Promise” on the 50th day!

We will be celebrating Shavuot with a Cantata entitled “Welcome, Spirit of God!” It is a worshipful mixture of song, dance, readings & dramatic monologues in celebration of Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit) who was given to the disciples in the upper room. On that very same day, 3000 years before, G-d gave His people the Torah on Mt. Sinai. How exciting!

We invite you to come and celebrate with us this Holy Feast Day that God Himself ordained and consecrated . . . so that WE could MEET with HIM!

How could you pass up such an invitation???

Counting the Omer

April 7, 2015 By

In Leviticus 23, the Israelites were commanded to start counting up to 49 days after Passover; that would be seven weeks. This is called “Counting the Omer,” for they had to bring an omer (a small measurement) of barley to the Temple every day in faith of a greater harvest. The bringing of the barley was called “First Fruits.”  (By the way, “First Fruits” was the day that Yeshua was resurrected!) As they counted the days, it would lead them to day fifty (50). Day 50 is called Pentecost in English, Shavuot in Hebrew.

Historically, three days prior to the 50th day, the Israelites arrived at Mt. Sinai after leaving Egypt.  On the 50th day, Adonai gave them the Torah. By “counting the omer” yearly, they would always be reminded, not only that they were given the Torah, but also they would know the exact day on which He gave it.

Fast forward some 1500 years during Yeshua’s day–the people were still “counting the omer,” and they would have begun after Yeshua’s crucifixion. Luke 1:3 says, “After his suffering, he presented himself to them [His disciples] and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.” 

During the 40 days of counting, Yeshua does the following:

  • He sleeps in the grave.
  • He rises from the grave.
  • He appears to Mary.
  • He walks with two disciples on the Road to Emmaus.
  • He appears to  Peter and to His disciples.
  • He eats with Peter at the Sea of Galilee.
  • He gives His disciples the Great Commission.
  • He meets them on the Mount of Olives.
  • On day 40, He ascends into the heavens.

Let’s not forget what Luke said: He “gave many convincing proofs that he was alive,” which means He did so much more in those 40 days than I listed above. 

But what about the 10 remaining days?

For the next ten days the disciples wait in Jerusalem as Yeshua tells them to. I believe they wait as they “count the omer.” As they are counting, the Holy Spirit is poured out upon them in the Upper Room, and they are filled with the Power and Presence of God on day 50! Pentecost! (Shavuot)!

As we “count the omer” this year, let us be reminded that God still desires to pour Himself out upon us — in us — as He did with His Torah and His Spirit! He still desires to bring forth a great harvest and to use us to reap it. This year, as we count, let us say . . . “More, Lord!!”
