For most of us, we have taken on the role of Bond-servant unto the LORD. It is a role devoted to the Father. However, within that role, we are also called to care for each other: “Love the LORD your God…. love your neighbor as yourself”. What happens when we need refreshment? What happens when others do? Who cares for them? Yes, the Father sends His Holy Spirit to tend, but He also sends us.

Genesis 18 shows the joy and immediate care of Abraham toward others. He gives a beautiful blueprint for how we are to care for weary, and down-trodden, fellow Bond-servants. We are in this together. We are servants of the Most High God. Join me as I attempt to unfold this beautiful blueprint of service.

We find ourselves in the fire, and cry out to God for rescue! Genesis 15:6-7 speaks of God taking us out of the fire, all to give us His inheritance! Oh, these fires! What is He allowing? Why? He is refining us for His Kingdom work–fires of His loving kindness! Say what?? All we know to do is trust Him, as He takes us through–all for His Kingdom purposes!

Join me in this sweet description of His loving kindness, for those in the Seed of Abraham–THE SEED, which is Yeshua. He is a consuming fire, equipping us for the fight at hand–the defending of the Kingdom of God! Know who you are, in Messiah Yeshua! Amen and Hallelujah!

Shabbat Shalom,

What is “stone”, and “white” (“pure”), and “red” (brick) all over? Our self-built, self saving towers! We are very active in saving ourselves–so much, that we become our own “Savior”. That is a “high place” against God. And, every high place must come down! Our own bricks are covered with tar from the pit. They must be torn down, and rebuilt by The Hand of Our Creator, making us a New Creation, a Living Stone, covered in HIS pitch—HIS Covering—HIS Atonement!

We are Living Stones, covered by the Blood of Yeshua! We are covered in His Atonement. Our own atonement leaves us confused and failing. He is our fortress, and in HIM we are a New Creation!

Hallelujah! Stay low, and HE ALONE will lift us up!

Shabbat Shalom,

We have been paid at a price.

We are the Bride of Yeshua.

We are vessels of His Light in the vast sea of darkness.

We proclaim Him! We proclaim His love! We proclaim our redemption! These three have a commonality, and the Holy Spirit taught beautifully! May you enjoy all He has for you, as you shine His Light in the Darkness. He is Worthy of our Praise! He is worthy of our proclamation!

Just like so many stories in the Bible, the story of the Ark, is such a beautiful picture of our restoration and new LIFE in Yeshua. Enjoy, and know your worth in HIS Kingdom.

Shabbat Shalom

I’ve had several friends ask, “How do I draw near to God?”. What can I do to have a deeper relationship with Him? I’ve asked those same questions, and went back to how the Children of Israel drew near to God: The Tabernacle.

I love learning about the Tabernacle, as it seems it is the Salvation and Restoration Story, revealed to us, step by step. For me, it gives me reminder after reminder that this is a relationship…not a one way visit. He wants me to draw near, even more than I do! The Tabernacle offers this. Once again, Yeshua is in the middle of it all.

Join me as I take you through each piece of the Tabernacle, and offer the “blue print” for drawing near. See you at the Gate!

Shabbat Shalom,

Throughout the Testaments, the Father is connecting us to Yeshua. He is placing example after example of His restoration of His Children, back to Him and His Kingdom, all through His Son. The Ark, and The Tabernacle are wonderful picture connections for us, and take us back to review this wonderful rescue and redemption!

Join me, as the Holy Spirit points out beautiful connections in His Word, and encourages us to seek Him more.

Shabbat Shalom,

In a previous post, I shared my favorite Challah bread recipe. I typically make that once a week, sometimes more. However, there is another recipe that seems to be even more favored: Israeli Pita Bread.

I don’t make it as often, but that is because I triple the recipe! I freeze it, and bring it out when one batch is eaten. One batch usually makes about 12-14 pitas.

This recipe offers amazingly soft bread, and is so great to dip in hummus, as a side bread, or heated and topped with honey butter! Yummy!

I hope you enjoy this recipe. I love to cook/bake, and it is my joy to share it with you. You can find the recipe at this site: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/recipe/pita-bread/

While going through all the measurements of Noah’s ark, the Holy Spirit stopped me, and had me go through the meanings of each measurement. I was astonished, and truly felt the love of the Father, Who holds us, so close.

I pray this short video offers a tender side to the Father, and one that you can confide in, when the waters get rough. Blessings to you all. He is so very near, and you are held.

Shabbat Shalom,

Landra

So much was hidden in ONE VERSE! It is incredible what the Father taught in this ONE VERSE! Join me as I share how we, as a walking display of covering, displays our payment of Yeshua. We have been brought from death to life! We are surrounded by death, but we are secure! We are kept safe! We are paid for, and made ready to bring forth new LIFE! He has protected His Bride, and She WILL bring forth HIS offspring of LIFE!

May you be blessed knowing your role in His Kingdom! May you be blessed knowing you are HIS! Rejoice, Bride of The King!

Shabbat Shalom,

Yes! The first mention of Grace is actually in Genesis 6! When a word is first mentioned in the Scriptures, it is called “First Mention” and is considered a “definition” of the word, as that particular word is used throughout the rest of the Scriptures. This was a very beautiful discovery, and one that was also coupled with the picture of baptism, and the eyes of The Father.

Join me as The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) reveals these beautiful pictures of His Grace, Love, and restoration. Diving into the Torah, and researching the Hebrew, unveils many beautiful discoveries! He is so faithful and loving in His teaching.

The LORD bless you in this unveiling.

Shabbat Shalom
