FAMILY: PUT IT IN ITS PROPER PLACE



FAMILY: Putting IT IN ITS PROPER PLACE

ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES

Taken from notes compiled from December 24, 2007 to present:

This article is certainly not a complete treatise on this subject. And it might make some of you disgruntled at me. Some might reject its truth, but they will not reject me, they will reject the truth of Yahuweh’s word and His nature, ways and thinking. For I do not give my opinion here, but only His! I have raised four children. I was raised in America at the time when the Illuminati seriously began their assault against the people in the “G-7” nations, to conform our minds to their “world brain” goals. We’re supposed to be controllable zombies, following everything they want us to do. There’s a concerted effort to change the DNA of human beings by every means possible, from infants up, so that the state of zombie will be natural.

All the while, Abba Yahuweh commands His people: “Be set-apart as I am set-apart”. This means that we must daily more and more set ourselves apart from the world system’s thinking, and align our minds to the thinking of Abba Yahuweh as taught strictly by His Spirit to our spirit. This means that it is imperative that we submit ourselves to the working of His Spirit, so that we are not changed into zombies, but changed into His image and likeness, His nature. Lucifer is working hard through his agents to turn mankind into his image and likeness, with his nature. But, Abba Yahuweh will have His remnant! He will have His set-apart family that reflect His nature, ways and thinking!

Listen, I underwent some of the same mind-programming into the western culture of Greece and Rome that most of you have been subjected to. So, I write from understanding. I also write from compassion. I understand the emotions we’ve been taught to have. In many ways we’ve been trained like Pavlov’s dog. I understand the craving for acceptance, for comfort, for security, for fitting in, for feeling good about ourselves. But, realize, that all of their programming is anti-Scripture, and anti-Yahuweh, and anti-Yahushua. We’ve been systematically programmed to accept thinking and a lifestyle that is opposed to the thinking of Yahuweh in His Word. Abba tells us to die to selfish ambitions and desires, to die to the dictates of “flesh” that craves constantly to be appeased. The culture of Greece and Rome appeals strictly to the flesh, the desires of the five senses, the desires of our body, our mind and emotions (soul), called the

Page 1

“carnal nature”. When one is truly born of the Spirit from above, they become a new creation--“old things are passed away, behold, all things become new”. (II Corinthians 5:17-21)

Our desires change. The sin and the world and the desires of the flesh loses their attraction, and we begin the process of being set-apart to Yahuweh and to Yahushua. (Refer to: “The True New Birth”) Only one with a truly re-born spirit can contact the eternal realm of Yahuweh and walk in His nature, be taught by His Spirit, and be led by His Spirit.

Some of you have conformed to Abba’s thinking and ways, and your families reflect that righteous decision. But, also, as most of you

Realize that the spirits of the evil one are increasing, and targeting our families, especially our little children and little grandchildren, as we enter now the 4th year of the last seven-year cycle before Messiah comes. We call out with passion: “Come Messiah Come!”

In American culture, and the culture of the Greco/Roman west in general, all too often the family has been made to be a god of emotional security, along with money, job security, social status, and the ability to control one’s life. As I’ve heard over and over from people personally, family and money are the two main excuses used to explain why they can’t follow the Master as His servant. But, these two excuses go back to the days of Messiah as the two main excuses used for not following Him, at least right away. Because of emotional dependency psychologically taught to western culture by its mind programmers, most people live to please their family. The man and wife in many families think they have to work two jobs to pay for the demands of their spouse and/or children. The culture tells us what kind of house makes us accepted, what kind of car, what kind of college, what kind of job, and on and on, down to what kind of toothpaste. Most everything is advertised using sex in some way, or the appeal to the “pride of life”. The increase in advertisements for drugs is amazing! The motive: Make all Americans dependent on doctors and prescription drugs, so they will do anything they’re told to be able to keep getting their drugs. We often buy what would make our children look good at school. We smother our children, or grandchildren in the latest toys, the latest food treats, the latest games, the latest technology. It is amazing how children are being given gifts like computers, cell phones, and I-pods.

The word “family” has become synonymous with “security”. What is termed “emotional incest” by psychologists has become a common hiding place for the fearful and insecure. Because of the mind-

Page 2

programming of western society, most people are emotionally no older than 4 or 5. PhDs with all their intellectual smarts, often end up in emotional problems that they can’t handle. [Refer to: “Mind

Programming, Hidden Manipulation, and the World Brain” and “Quiet Wars and Silent Weapons”] It’s all out in the open. They don’t care any more if you know their plans. Their plans are so far along, and they control the minds of most of the world’s people, so they don’t care about you—UNLESS, you’re one of those set-apart remnant people that is totally programmed by the Spirit of Yahuweh! Then they consider you a big threat!

So many families bow to the demands of their children to keep them happy, so they won’t be upset and throw tantrums. This goes often on to adulthood, producing adult monsters who think they can get what they want by throwing fits. Selfishness is at an all time high! The divorce rate in America is up to 60%. Most marriages are no more than the emotional union of two toddlers sitting in a sandbox, fighting over who will get to play with the toy truck. After so much fighting over the toy truck, they decide to divorce. Jezebel spirits are high among women, and men. The Harry Potter spirit of Satan himself is running high. Satan has one law: “Do as thou wilt”. The most aggressive toddlers get the truck. The other one left an emotional wreck. Few feel any conviction of doing wrong. Most justify their mind-boggling tantrums and acts of cruelty by actually believing the other person deserves it. I understand. I’ve been the receiver of a lot of this insanity. There is an insane selfishness that has taken over the minds of so many, that to humble themselves is almost a non-existent thing.

Oh how different is the thinking of Abba Yahuweh regarding our

family! He says in the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me”. Yet, so often, our family becomes “the other god” that we put before Him. So many times, parents become the slaves of their children. So many times, one spouse makes a slave of the other one.

Western teaching puts one’s family at the nucleus around which almost everyone revolves. Is this Scriptural? NO, it is not!

The real reason most parents spend so much money uselessly on their kids buying the latest toys, name brand shoes and clothes that are “cool” with their peers, and food that is faddish, is that they want their kid to be “in” – not excluded from the culturally “with it” kids. A lot of the time parents buy what they want to dress their kids up in, or what they want to play with, or what they want to eat, because they’re still kids in their mind.

Page 3

Putting things in context of the Scriptures, especially in context of the demands of discipleship in following Yahushua, we see that the thinking is radically different. In fact, the thinking across board of modern Greco/Roman culture is totally anti-Scripture, anti-Elohim!

But, always keep in mind that the whole focus of the Scriptures from Genesis 2 to eternity future is centered on one land, one people group--a family in one covenant with one Elohim, with one focus, one purpose, and one destiny. He created His family and will preserve His family.

The Scriptures are centered on East Jerusalem, on Judea and Samaria---Israel--end speak of the covenant of Yahuweh and the redemption of Messiah Yahushua for this one family. He made a land covenant and a covenant with one people out of all the families of the earth, to be His people. This family came through Seth to Enoch to Noah to Shem to Eber to Abraham, to Yitzak, and to Ya’cob, who gave this family their twelve distinctive tribal families. (I Samuel 7:20-24; Deuteronomy 7:6-15) Abba is very protective of His family. He is a good and loving Abba. But, He stresses to His family that His children fear Him and obey Him, or else, He cannot bless them.

The Word was not written to the world. It only uses other nations as a backdrop to the plan of salvation for His family, His people. In Revelation 21:1-7, Yahuweh finally gets to dwell with His family forever on the earth. His “dream” through eternity past has been to have one land, one place to dwell (He chose Mount Zion/the City of David – Psalm132:13-14), with one family of His choosing, who love Him and follow Him for Himself, calling Him “Abba”.

How He has dealt with His family through the last six thousand millennia is very different than how Greek/Roman culture has taught us to deal with our families.

Yahuweh has a nature that is merciful, loving, kind, gracious, long-

suffering, gentle, giving, and nurturing to the maximum. He is the Elohim of “lovingkindness” – “hased” in Hebrew -- which means love that nurtures as a baby in the womb”. But because He is Light, and no darkness can approach Him, He has had had to use His justice side, His righteous side, many times to discipline His family. He’s a real Father!

In fact, Hebrews 12 tells us that if we are not disciplined by Him, we are “bastards” – not His kids! The balance of justice and mercy is nothing short of amazing to the maximum! It is wise to let Him discipline and test us, so that our relationship with Him grows into something beautiful! But, always, He is righteous in His judgments.

Page 4

He is always “fair”. He bends sometimes to the side of mercy in saving a people who didn’t deserve to be saved, as in Exodus 32, but for the sake of His honor and integrity—the integrity of His own Word and His own Person—often times He lets go of justifiable anger and wrath.

If we would follow His example and His instructions and counsel regarding our family, we would have not only a lot more order and peace, we would have His intervention in all ways. But, mankind as a whole goes by what they’re told by man, or by their own ideas of things, and therefore lose the precious counsel and wisdom of Abba, then end up in a ditch with no one to blame but themselves. He is, after all, the Creator, as well as the ul6timate Father. His heart is broken because man refuses to walk in His ways. So man has to suffer for wrong choices, and often the wrong choices lead to a miserable life. If only, He pleads, My people would listen to Me and follow My counsel! His grief is the constant theme of the Prophets. His anger is justified. Read the book of Jeremiah. His Father’s heart is poured out.

One of the main evils done to us by the programming of the Illuminati Greco/Roman culture, which was really turned up at the end of WWII, was to appeal to individual pride. People were made to believe that they needed their own private “space”—their own house for just them and their dependent children. Grandparents were moved to nursing homes. Older children move out and away. My four children are in four different states. People were made to believe that a couple with two children needed a four bedroom house in a lovely suburb, with nice trimmed yard, and nice car, a boat perhaps, lovely furniture, and lots of self-appeasing surroundings. All not fitting into that sense-pleasing dream is rejected. So, families split up. Children head to wherever they could make more money. Older people were not given the right to stay in their children’s homes.

Everyone has to have his own “space”. Every child had to have his

own room, with his own toys. Nice homes and cars became more and more expensive, so parents had to work harder to provide a good lifestyle for their children. Yet, in these lovely homes, most people are very unhappy. They work themselves to death, longing each year for a vacation to escape. The kids year by year get more selfish and demand more. After all, for junior to get ahead in this world he has to go to college. So parents work harder.

Then junior graduates, gets married, and moves his wife to another state. His parents might hear from him once or twice a year, if that. Then when the last child is gone from the house, the parents experience “the empty nest syndrome”. Many couples fight more, and

Page 5

many divorce, because it was appeasing their children that kept them

together. The middle-age syndrome leads many to extra-marital affairs. For most parents, their children are their life, and when they are gone, if no grandchildren to their life, they are disoriented and question their identity. This is cultural, not natural. It is because families migrate apart, and so loneliness becomes a serious dis-ease.

To all of this, I say: “Get thee behind me Satan”. For he is the author of this hideous driving lifestyle that has destroyed so many people. Yes, there are good times. I’ve had my share of them. People take photos to remember the good times. But the driving lust for comfort, ease, what satisfies the flesh, what brings security, is a driving force that the mind-programmers feed the people day in and day out. Most so-called believers follow right along with the cultural demands and so their lives show very little difference from the lives of the “unsaved” in the world. People work all their lives to pay for a house that can be destroyed by one match and some kerosene.

I lived n Aqaba, Jordan, for 8 years, near the Red Sea. I saw Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia out my kitchen window. I watched Egyptian workers building houses for families. The foundations went down 30 feet or more. They used metal spikes, and concrete, and stone. We didn’t have a fire department. The metal spikes finally stuck out of the tops of flat roofs of the houses, so that other stories could be added for more family members. The parents build their house with the idea of having apartments for their children and their families. Grandparents lived there too. The family was together. And the cost of these houses? — About 1/3rd the cost, or less, of a house in America with a 9” foundation, burnable wood and insulation and sheet rock.

I was on the Navajo reservation a lot. Most still live in “hogans” – mud and stick houses, and follow their sheep in summer. I remember grandma weaving, the mother cooking, the father out doing his work, the children out tending the sheep and goats.

I remember in Africa, staying in mud and cow dung houses of true believers. The families were content. What makes for a peaceful family? -- Certainly not material gain! Certainly not the drive for acceptance in the culture! Certainly not the push to get a better job. Peace comes from the inside, and from living simply on the outside. Stop the striving! The Devil drives and pushes and pressures, the Spirit leads gently. (Psalm 23)

I spent seven years in and out of Africa. But, what I tell here is true also in India, and in China, and throughout other Third World nations of the East-- who think far differently than the thinking of the western culture of Greece and Rome. The Word can only be understood from

Page 6

eastern reasoning, from ancient Hebrew understanding. Western civilization is based on a truly “gentile” people--people never exposed to Abba’s Torah. The word “gentile” means “barbarian, pagan, and heathen”. A “gentile” is a “stranger, alien and foreigner” from the covenant of Yahuweh. No one in Messiah is a gentile! (Refer to: “Are You a Gentile?”)

We are called to be separate from gentiles. Abba never made a covenant with gentiles. He says He will destroy all gentiles. So, what are His people doing conforming to a culture that is rooted in such wickedness? The culture of the west is based on what appeases the flesh, what feels good, what smells good, tastes good, looks and sounds good. It thinks with Platonic reasoning--concepts that are mostly philosophical. (Refer to: “The Anchor”) Like play actors in a theater, most live their lives in a fantasy land of illusion, hiding behind a mask of respectability, hiding their true self, for all has to appear to be “nice”. Well, you know what I mean. You go to church or congregation and make sure your mask is in place, because when they ask you “how are you”, you’d better answer “fine”. If you’re hurting and need prayer, well, forget it, because most people don’t want your hurts entering their “space”.

The culture is controlling to the max. Most people mindlessly purchase the products that the advertisers/mind programmers tell them will give them acceptance with others, and cause them to be Cinderella at the ball. They present to us glass slippers, guaranteed to make us superior to our ugly “stepsisters”. Women are told what fashions to wear, so that we fit in, look “cool”, and attract the opposite sex. Thus women are made fools of by the fashion designers, as they dress more and more like prostitutes, even dressing their little girls in like manner. What is worse is that many of the most acceptable fashions cause women to, unknowingly for the most part, cater to the lusts of the sexually perverted. Modesty is just not “cool”. In fact modesty is being labeled “cultish”… and women who dress to please Abba’s standards, and dress their children likewise, are being made to be suspect of something wrong.

In the Third World, across board, there is a different attitude towards death. Death is a part of life to them. Therefore, for a person to seek a counselor or go to a group therapy session when a family member dies, doesn’t make sense. In America, it is natural when faced with trauma to see a “counselor”, or find a “support group”. What about the Wonderful Councilor of Isaiah 9:6-7? His Word and the ministry of His Spirit, The Comforter, is all we need!

Page 7

In third world nations, like in Africa, I saw true believers, upon having a child, spouse, brother or sister, mother or father die, have the funeral at the place of death, in which victory and salvation are preached to all around. At the close of the service, an invitation to accept Messiah’s salvation is given, and a church is established at the place of the funeral. They use the death of a beloved one as a means to bring life to the living. This is reality in the Good News at its zenith. And so they take the enemy of us all, death, and use its ravages to bring life! But, in western culture, during death, during trauma, we are taught to turn inward, to get pity, to wallow in negative emotions. Some resort to psychiatrists who prescribe prescription drugs for depression. These anti-depressants are destroying people, some of the popular ones even have side effects that produce suicidal tendencies. Dependency on man, on drugs, on psychology, etc., is destroying people. Oh the freedom of total dependency on Yahuweh! That’s the way I live! He’s awesome! Faithful! Precious!

But, western culture has taught from early toddlerhood that we are the gods of our own world, and we should have what we want. If something rattles our world, most people lose their mental and emotional control. They seek help in man or drugs, some turn to alcohol. Some turn to sexual affairs, some throw away their faith in their God who evidently failed them, some turn to eastern religions, some turn to suicide.

All of this is foolishness if we would just use the death and other tragedy to bring eternal life to others. The Word commands us to die to our “flesh”--the demands of our five senses, the root of our sin nature, the emotions that cause us to turn inward. Negative emotions are the food of demons! Praise Yahuweh and drive them away! Praise, worship, the proclamation of the Psalms, and blessing others – these things bring joy, peace, and comfort. Turn outward! There is a dying lost world out there that needs you. The words of Luke 14:25-33 are still for us! Don’t let the demands of culture and family keep you from knowing Yahuweh and serving Him! He calls us to peace!

In Africa, pastors who have come to the U.S. to speak, often tell me: “They put me in a big room in front of a giant screen TV, and turn on Christian TV for me to watch while they go to work. Their houses are so big for only for two to four people. I couldn’t wait to get back to my little house with my family of nine, and all the guests who come daily to visit us”. I was in one home--a concrete block house, filled with people who had come to visit, besides the loads of kids that were his own, and the adopted ones. The pastors naturally adopt children

Page 8

whose parents have died of AIDS or been killed. It is not uncommon for one family to adopt 20-30 children, take in widows and the homeless, too. Oftentimes the bathroom is out in the field somewhere, a “pit latrine”. Oftentimes the kitchen is made of mud and has a grass thatched roof hut. Oftentimes the “stove” is a jiggo, a hibachi, fueled by homemade coal. But, the people are content, that is until westerners come in and tell them about the “good life” that money can provide, and then they lose their contentment and seek money. That has ruined more pure of heart people than anything I know.

In China, the persecuted assembly of believers, now over 100 million,

use every opportunity to give out the Good News--even in the face of great tragedy--just like they did in the first century. Yes, they hurt, grieve, and grieve again. When loved ones die, they cry. These people are humans! But, they don’t stay there--they move on. The community stands with them.

I’ve seen it--in Africa, if a mud hut burns down, the community comes to help rebuild. The community provides food and clothes. It is a family effort among families. The children are raised knowing that it is their responsibility to help others.

I watched Mongolian children happily playing “house” with rocks on dishes, supposed to be food. For chores they hauled water, as in Africa too, from the streams to their houses. All the children had chores. But, to see how the parents loved their children was amazing.

In the Third World, oftentimes the child has ragged clothes, no shoes, no toys, and basic food. But, they are not unhappy. They made balls out of wound up sting. They made up games. They don’t have the TV telling them what they want, or parents giving them what they want, when they want it. They don’t have the example of the west, which is idolatry-based. Western culture is steeped in idolatry.

Children who were very poor, or had infirmities like a club-foot on a hair-lip, or some other physical deformity were not mocked and made fun of at school. All children were accepted for themselves. In western culture it I so common in schools from elementary schools to High School that the poor, the crippled, the blind, the deaf, and the deformed, and the mentally challenged youth are so often made the victims of cruelty that is wicked. My third child was mocked, scorned, and made to feel like a fool because she did not wear Keds brand shoes. We were too poor to afford Keds. My children often wore thrift store clothes. It affected her mentally and emotionally, and caused her to shut down. This was in the sixth grade. So, when she got to High

Page 9

School and was around infirmed youth that were being mocked, and the victims of cruelty, she stood up for them and befriended them. She said that in the hallways, some had their glasses knocked off purposely, and stomped on, their school books knocked on the floor, some were attacked physically and thrown down. This reflects the culture as a whole. Children see movies in which older people are made to look stupid. They watch things on TV like America’s Home Videos, where people laugh when they see videos of other people being obviously hurt, or when an animal is obviously hurt. This is pure evil. The spirit of mocking those weaker is rising to new heights. So, pure, set-apart modest children are being mocked and scorned and done evil to. The spirits of demons are seeking bodies, and finding them. Do you allow this in your home?

Let us hear from Messiah! Let us hear from Abba Yahuweh!

Matthew 12:46-50/Mark 3:33-35: “Who is My mother, My brothers, My sisters? -- “Those that do the will of My Father”.

Luke 14:25-33; 18:28-30, Matthew 19:29: Discipleship means prioritizing who is Master, and who has the right of control.

Matthew 10:34-39: “…He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take up his execution stake and follow Me is not worthy of Me”.

Luke 14:25: To be His disciple we must “hate” family. In this Hebrew context, to “hate” means we must not submit to the control of family, if they try to keep us from following Yahushua, or Yahuweh’s Torah. Love means to submit and obey the one loved: “If you love Me, keep My commandments”. Therefore “hate” means to not submit to obey anyone but the Master.

In Deuteronomy 13 we read, that if a relative tries to persuade one to turn against Yahuweh’s Torah, they were taken to the High Priest for judgment, and usually he ordered them to be killed--the same for a rebellious son. The disciplines of the Torah will be resumed in full force when Messiah returns, for He will rule with a “rod of iron”, as not only King, but also High Priest (Zechariah 6:13; Psalm 2:9; Revelation 2:27; Revelation 12:5).

Deuteronomy 6:4-7: Teach children the Torah, so they will obey Yahuweh! That’s the job of parents. It is mainly the father’s job to teach the Torah to his children! If you are too busy or too lazy to teach your child the teachings and instructions of the Kingdom of heaven, then woe to you and your children! (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)

Page 10

Malachi 4:4-6 tells us that in these last days, the Spirit will restore father and son relationships. But, if a father won’t return to the “fathers” – Abraham, Yitzak and Ya’cob, then how can the son return?

Proverbs 22:6; 22:15; 19:18: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he turns not away from it”. “Old”: That’s age 13, when a boy can shave and a girl can get pregnant.

“Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him”. “Discipline your son because there is expectation (for good to come of him) but do not allow yourself to bring him to destruction”. (Italics mine) Therefore, discipline in love!

Mark 13:12-13: “And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death”.

I was in Uganda a lot, so I listened to an interview with a boy about nine, who was a follower of a false messiah who was attracting children and making them loyal to him. The CNN interviewer asked him if he had killed his mother. The boy said, “yes”. He interviewer asked him why. He said that this man, false messiah, had told him to do it as a sign of his loyalty to him. Now, think! This is what happened with Hitler’s Youth, with Stalin’s Youth, with Mao’s Red Guard Youth – they became so taken over mentally by these horrible men that they went about killing, even their families. This is what the Illuminati plans to do with your children – if you let them. This is why you must teach them to be loyal to One Master – the real Elohim of Israel. They will make the sissy Jesus of the church out to be just that—a sissy. Teach your children to know the real Almighty One!

Compare that with Matthew 10:34-39 with Micah 7:6: “Your enemies will be those of your own household”.

If a family is walking the plumb line of truth, the world in general could care less as long as they are left alone. But, so often those within the family may eventually rebel and react to you if you’re “different”, with hostility and cruelty.

What influence besides yours are you allowing to put pressure on your child to conform – the public school system, other children (“peer pressure), TV programs, other adults, the materialistic self-centered culture itself, or other family members? Abba’s Word speaks loudly to parents in these last days to “flee” from this cultural Satanism that is closing in tighter and tighter like a vice.

When you tell family you’re not celebrating the pagan holidays of

Page 11

Christmas, Easter, etc. – they may get very upset and think you’re in a cult, or becoming “Jewish”. Again, it’s the toddler mentality. Yet an unrestrained toddler in an adult body can be vicious.

II Timothy 3:2: Disobedient children, lawless children, are a sign of these last days. In these last days, children will rule over their parents. Women will rule over men, and men will be like whiney women. (Isaiah 3:4-5, 12; Jeremiah 51:30)

We see the mind programming that has made men like sissies and women rulers, and children rulers over all. In sit-coms, we see how men are emasculated, and women boss, but the arrogant child shuts them both up.

Once a child reaches age 13 and can re-produce, they become a “young adult” in Abba’s eyes, with full adult responsibility to act mature and righteous. Parents are responsible to see that their daughters dress modestly so that they attract good men. Keep a close eye on your children’s friends. Youth usually conform to those they call friends. Until a daughter is married, the father has the responsibility of caring for his daughter. You must teach your children that once a “teenager” they are responsible for their actions, they are no longer children, but young adults. When I’d go to PTA meetings at the High School, and hear the Principal and the teachers referring to these young adults as “children”, I got upset. They are not children! Children can’t reproduce. I ministered in youth detention homes. I saw how these children were arrested for crimes, even murder, but let off because they were “children”.

The “teenage” is a myth. In 1950, clothes marketers set apart a group from 13-19 and called them “teenagers”. This marketing group’s advertising made the “teenagers” think they were special, more than their parents, more than younger siblings. They all wanted to be “cool”. They all wanted to fit in and be like each other. At this time, also, noticed that rock and roll became the popular music of “teenagers” and “pre-teens”. In this rock and roll music, many concepts that were previously foreign were introduced. Thus the slow separation between parents and youth began in our culture. Parents were made out to be “not hip” – not “with it” – not “cool”, not understanding how important their teenagers were. Slowly, since 1950, the whole culture has been affected adversely by this separation in families. In churches, they had to get “youth pastors” to teach this “special group”. This group was entertained and coddled. Few youth pastors presented this age group with the truth about discipleship. Yet, most of Messiah’s disciples were under 20. This is the age group that

Page 12

most needs to follow a teacher of righteousness, who will challenge them to great exploits for the Kingdom. This age group is idealistic. They want to be challenged. Thus men like Hitler, and Mao, and Stalin, targeted this group, and made evil servants out of them. Who has the most influence in your children’s lives--your teaching of the Word with power and anointing of the Spirit, or what they’re taught in school, or on TV, or from their “peers”? You’re in a demonic culture. Abba says to flee from it. Are you listening? (Revelation 18:4, etc)

Teaching them the Torah, giving them loving guidance, helping them as much as possible--all are to be done--but at age 13, the apron strings are cut, and the child is no longer a child to be coddled. They must still be guided with wisdom, but not treated like a child anymore.

In ancient Hebrew culture of the Word, when a son found a wife, the father allowed the son to build a room onto his house for the new family. Families stayed close together. Do not encourage your child to go to college. The public school system is dedicated to one goal – separating your child from Yahuweh and His Torah, and mind-programming them into the “world brain”, so that they will be usable in the coming government of anti-messiah.

In Yahuweh’s culture, rebellion is not tolerated. Discipline is strong. The wise child learns to fear the authority of his father and mother, so that he learns obedience and respectful for authority. The father is a good role model of a real man, the balance between mercy and justice. The mother is a model of the real woman, strong for the Master but humble, and gentle, kind and loving. The Proverbs 3110-31 woman, and the Psalm 1 and Psalm 112 man are the guidelines.

In so many American homes, the children never get to really know their parents. The parents are too busy with work, with social events, appeasing their own desires, being with friends, watching TV—entertaining themselves. It is estimated that the average communication between child and father during the week is less than 20 minutes. I am so awed by my son-in-law, who is a model father to his five year old son and baby daughter. He and his son work on the car together, play ball together, go to the store together, watch carpenter and fishing shows on TV together. My son in law helps him with his homework each night. He’s there to talk to my grandson and teach him right from wrong. They are buddies. He helps feed the baby and change diapers. He gets up in the night when she cries. He is a wonderful husband also to my daughter. He works hard, but his greatest joy is being with his family. And they guard Torah, too!

Take time to listen to your child, to ask how his day went. Find out

what makes him happy, what makes him sad, what delights him, and what discourages him. Be a part of his life! Tell your children often “I love you”, then show it. Show them what real love is all about! My son-in-law tells his children, and my daughter, “I love you” several times a day. They feel loved, because they are loved!

Commandment # 5: “Honor your father and your mother that your days might be long on the earth”. It is the only commandment with a promise. Are your children and grandchildren being taught the Ten Commandments?

Proverbs 10:1; 17:25: The foolish son is a disgrace to his family.

Deuteronomy 21:18-23: The rebellious, stubborn son is taken to the elders of the city, and killed if they so decree because of his rebellion.

According to Psalm 103, Abba can only be kind to those children who fear Him and obey His commandments. Reward your good children. Let them know that if they are obedient, there is reward. They get special attention. No, I’m not talking about candy or toys. I’m talking about giving them a personal reason for obedience. This way they will learn to be obedient to Yahuweh.

Proverbs 1:8-9; 6:20; Micah 7:6 – If your family becomes an

enemy, turn from them.

Yahuweh’s love is conditional: John 14:15, 21, 23-24; Deuteronomy 5:29, 6:2; Proverbs 13:13: Without obedience to the covenant there is death, judgment, and separation. Obedience is faith in action.

Yet, fathers, note the admonition in Ephesians 6:1-3: “Children obey your parents in the Master, for this is right. Respect your father and mother, which is the first command with promise, in order that it

might be well with you, and you might live long on the earth. And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Master”. Colossians 3:21: “Fathers, do not provoke your children lest they become discouraged”.

Don’t be so strict and hard on them that they lose heart, and become introverted. Parents must, led by the Spirit, break the strong rebellious will, but not break the spirit!

Hebrews 12:5-11…”My son, despise not the discipline of Yahuweh, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him. For whom Yahuweh loves, He disciplines, and scourges ever son whom He receives…If you endure discipline, Elohim deals with you as with a son…if you are without discipline, then you are not His son—you are a bastard”.

There is no such thing as coddling wrong in the name of love in Father’s culture. Coddling, tolerating, overlooking wrong is like mixing

Page 14

darkness with the surface of the sun. Father Yahuweh cannot tolerate darkness-He is light and there is no darkness in Him (I John 1:5, 7).

Greek love (“agape”) is a philosophical love--it is not Scriptural--it is wishy wash, sentimental, based on feelings, gives in to wrong, tolerates wrong, and won’t discipline wrong. It makes excuses for wrong.

Communists say: “Give me a child from birth to age seven, and I’ll make a good communist out of him”. It is a fact that a child’s personality foundation is formed by the time they are 18 months old, and as they build on that foundation, it becomes set by the time they are seven. So, communists put toy guns in the hands of kindergarteners and make them march military style “for the glory of the state”. Thus as these children grow up, that’s all they know is to work hard and fight for the “glory of the state”. Mind programming!

Are you programming your child’s mind and spirit with the Word!

Scriptural love rejects defilement, no matter from what source the defilement comes. II Corinthians 6:14-7:1: We have to come out of defilement for Him to be our Elohim. We must stand as a plumb line of straightness, as an example to our family, without compromise.

Sentimentality is a spirit of tolerance that can be evil. It prevents clear thinking, and is all mixed up with emotions, which are unstable.

But, as with Abba, always temper justice with mercy, so that there is room for repentance and restoration. In the story of the prodigal son, the story of the House of Ephraim and the House of Judah, the father has been deeply hurt by his prodigal son (Ephraim). But, when he sees

him coming back in humility, he forgets the hurt, and embraces him as a dear son. This is the heart of Abba Yahuweh, and it should be the heart of earthly fathers, too. Parents, live the life of a disciple/servant of the Master before your children. Let them see a “new nature”. Let them see your peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, humility, etc. Don’t let them see you conforming to the world’s standards. You are their first example. If they do not see an example of the nature of Elohim before they go to school, then the public school will teach them otherwise.

The only way to achieve a balance between justice and mercy is to follow the example of Yahuweh. Only His Spirit can show you how to balance these two. He has to show you when to bring mercy into play, and when to use “tough love”.

A 22-year old son who lives at home, for example, and plays hard rock music, smokes marihuana or takes other drugs, drinks, parties, stays out late, and disrupts the family’s peace--well, here’s where tough love

Page 15

comes into play. Kick the bum out! Commit him to the High Priest for discipline (Yahushua). Get a court order if necessary to keep him out. He’s become an enemy, hopefully only temporarily. Tell sentimentality to go back where it came from – hell. Do not yield to FALSE MERCY. Do not take on FALSE RESPONSIBILITY.

Father called His children “enemies” for they “vexed” (tormented) Him in the wilderness. He said that He had to turn on them as an enemy. Don’t coddle sin!!! Don’t let your children make you cringe in fear, bring you to tears day in and day out, disrupt your family, be a bad example to the younger ones, and in general bring hell into your house. If they are old enough, make them get out on their own! More and more, children will turn on parents, unless they are very grounded in the Word. Pray, Pray, Pray!!!

When my children turned 16, I told them: “With age comes responsibility--get a job”. I told them we’d house them, pay for their food, their needed clothes, their basic needs, but for anything else, they needed to make their own money”. They got jobs. Later I asked them if they thought I was a mean mother for doing that. They told me, no – that it helped them grow up. They are all very responsible adults! It is amazing that so many troubled teens are from well-to-do families, from rich families. They’re bored with life, and want some adventure, so they get into trouble.

Give your children to the Master at birth, and pray for them daily all their lives, but put action to your prayers – teach them righteousness! Do not let them fall victim to peer pressure from the enemy. Teach them the joy of set-apartness at a very early age!

Even young teens often bring in music, posters, magazines, DVDs and other paraphernalia, that are destructive. Younger children who look up to them are influenced for bad. Refer to the article: “And Children Shall Rule Over Them”. This is a sign of the last days—that children will be disobedient to parents, and destructive and violent (II Timothy 3:1-7).

Ezekiel 14:13-23: Even Noah, Daniel and Job would not be able to save son or daughter in the days of tribulation. They could only save themselves by their own righteousness. Look up all these Scriptures—read them in context. They are talking to you!

Leviticus 10:1-7: Aaron was not to mourn the death of his sons. They had done evil and Yahuweh had burned them to an ashy crisp. If Yahuweh judges a family member for their sin, we must not come against His judgment to pet on them. We must not feel sorry for them. Aaron was told not to mourn, for the anointing oil was

Page 16

on him…not to tear his clothes or take off his turban. He had to maintain the High Priest position, even with his sons totally ash.

Father Yahuweh loves and cares for us as long as keep His covenant and obey His commandments. Otherwise, He has to judge sin.

Numbers chapters 13-14: The disobedient spies caused all the parents to die out so that the children could enter the promised land. Why were they called disobedient? -- They would not go into the land as Yahuweh had told them to and conquer the Anakim. But, they used the excuse that their children might be harmed by the sons of the Anak. They put their children over obedience to Yahuweh, and they were rewarded by dying off while their children took under Joshua. (Numbers 16:20-33)

When parents choose soulish (emotional, sentimental) love of children over Spirit-led obedience to Yahuweh, they often damn themselves.

If you make your children an excuse for not following the Master, shame on you – you will suffer. I knew a woman back in the early 1980s who was called as a missionary to Africa. She knew He had called her. But, her daughter was in college. She told me that she had to keep working teaching school in order to keep her daughter in college. Well, then it was another excuse after her daughter graduated – her mother needed her. To this day she has not gone. She left obedience to Yahuweh to keep her child in a school that mind-programmed her daughter into unbelief in His Word. Tragic!

Matthew 12:47: “Then one said to Him, `Behold, your mothers and your brothers are standing outside desiring to speak to You’. But He said, `Who is My mother? Who are my brothers?’ And he stretched out His hand towards his disciples, and said,

`Behold my mother and my brothers. For whoever shall do the will of My Father in heaven, the same is my brother, my sister, and my mother’ ”.

If our children are not walking in His Truth, and refuse to do so, we can pray for them, but we must never stoop to condoning their sin, nor basing our decisions on what they do. We must never base our decisions on what a rebellious spouse does either! Spouses are admonished to submit to each other--but only in Yahuweh. If one does not want to follow Him, then the other one must seek the Master greatly for direction. Yahuweh hates divorce. But Yahushua had to divorce the ten northern tribes (House of Ephraim/Israel) because of their sin. Yes, He died to buy them back, redeem them (us), but He did not condone their sin.

As followers of the Messiah we are commanded to do as He commands

Page 17

us. Our problems occur when we marry out of His will, and make other

decisions without consulting Him and His Word. He tells us to stay out of debt, and be free to go as He calls us to. If we paint ourselves into a corner, He often leaves us there, until true repentance is done, and we are ready in all ways to get out of the corner.

I Corinthians 7:29-35: “And this I say brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, and those who weep as though they did not weep, and those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, and those who buy as though they do not possess, and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the scene of this world is passing away. And I wish you to be without concern. He who is unmarried is concerned about the matters of the Master—how to please the Master. And he who is married is concerned about the matters of the world and how to please his wife. There is a difference between the wife and a maiden. The unmarried woman is concerned about the matters of the Master…that she might be set-apart both in body and in spirit. But, she who is married is concerned about the matters of this world—how to please her husband. And this I say for your own good, not to put a restraint on you but for what is proper, and to attend to the Master without distraction”. Great advice!

If a husband, or wife, goes forward to attend to the Master, and there is a division because one is ready to follow Yahuweh’s Spirit and the

other one is rebelling in their sin-prone soul, then the one who wants to follow the Master, must give Yahuweh freedom to deal with the situation as He sees best. If He chooses to put a wedge in between, then separation will come naturally. Now, more than ever, it is He who is making separations between those who will go forward to serve Him, and those who hold back out. Separation is painful. But, we have ONE MASTER.

We really have to seek Abba and make sure our own heart is pure before Him--blameless! We must never blame our spouse for our problems. We made the decision to marry them. We must bear responsibility for our own wrong actions. We must be humble and contrite and repentant. We must never complain or whine or gripe. We must never air our “dirty laundry” to friends and acquaintances. Keep your mouth shut—don’t tell people about your awful spouse.

We must remain in the nature of Messiah, in peace, in love, in joy, in long-suffering, in patience, in kindness, gentleness, goodness, faith and self-control. But, in all of that, we must not tolerate evil either. Don’t talk, act! Don’t be self-righteous. That stinks! Don’t make you

Page 18

spouse out to be “beneath you”. That stinks really bad!

Again, we walk a tight rope. But, if we submit to only doing as the Master instructs, aligning to His nature, then whatever we have to go through to get our lives straightened out, we do so in peace.

Messiah said in Matthew 10:34-35a: “Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth. I do not come to bring peace, but a sword. I have come to bring division…” On the way to His death, Messiah said: “…weep not for Me, but for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave milk’. Then they shall say to the mountains, `Fall on us’, and to the hills `cover us’. For if they do these things in a green in a green tree, what will they do in the dry?”

The “days to come” are here! We are in the time of the dry tree—the time when everything will be burned up because of the judgments of Yahuweh.

Matthew 24:19: “And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck to babies in those days! And pray that your flight not be in winter, neither on a Shabbat”.

Americans Listen: Darius the Mede overtook and conquered ancient Babylon in one night, by diverting the water system under Babylon, and his troops entering without being detected. Darius was not a sadistic man. No one died, but the King of Babylon--as prophesied by Daniel. Yahuweh never told His people to flee out of ancient Babylon. They did well under King Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius the Mede, and Koresh the Persian. Only 10% of the Jews went back after their 70 years of captivity. America is end-time Babylon in every respect, described well in Jeremiah 50 and 51, Revelation 18 and other passages. But, of this Babylon, Yahuweh says “flee for your lives”…for He must destroy down to the dirt, leaving it impossible to be inhabited, forever. Few are listening to His warnings—fools, in denial, because they have listened to comfort-loving teachers who do not tell them the truth. But, the truth is that today, He says in Isaiah 13, also talking about America, that HE WILL CALL FOR THE MEDES once again – the countries that made up ancient Media (including Iran) – and their allies -- the same ones off the American coast and inside its borders in abundance, Russia and China, Iran and North Korea, and they will have no mercy on the America citizens--but will slaughter them.

Isaiah 13:17-20a: “See, I am stirring up the Medes against them,

Page 19

who do not regard silver, and as for gold, they do not delight in it. And

bows dash the young to pieces and they have no compassion on the fruit of the womb, their eye spares no children. And Babel, the splendor of reigns…shall be as when Elohim overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. She shall never be inhabited…”

Speaking of the future joys of the Kingdom, Isaiah 54:1: “`Sing O barren--you who did not bear--break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you that did not travail with child---for more are the children of the barren than the children of the married wife’, says Yahuweh”. Matthew 19:1-12: These are strange words from our Master, but well worth considering--read it in context. Verses 11-12: “Not all receive this word but only those to whom it has been given, for there are eunuchs who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive it let him receive it”. Spiritual eunuchs--“who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven” can be men or women.

The Covenant laws of marriage are for the time of this flesh. Marriage

can be beautiful if each of the married couple are born of the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, are filled with the Spirit, led by the Spirit, taught by the Spirit, walk in the fruit of the re-born spirit in the nature of Messiah, and flow together in His perfect will and timing, with peace, joy and love. But, demonic activity is increasing. Witches pray between midnight and 3:00 AM faithfully for the destruction of “Christian” homes, for the downfall of pastors, and Messianic rabbis and their people – anyone who teaches the Word. So, your family is a target. Learn correct spiritual warfare, and use it. Praise is the most powerful weapon of our warfare of all--if His correct Name is used, and the pagan titles and names are discarded. (Refer to: “The Hebrew Names and Titles of the Elohim of Israel”) He dwells in the praises of His people, and where He dwells, no devil can enter! Close all portals in your own life to the entrance of demons. Repent of all sin. Shut the doors to the past. If you’ve been involved in the New Age, in the occult, in eastern mysticism, yoga, or anything that is an abomination to Yahuweh, repent and stop it. Close the portals of negative emotions, for demons feed on them. Grow up, mature!

The marriage covenant is a blood covenant. It is the most binding of

all covenants. The marriage is “consummated” when the blood of the woman’s broken hymen is found on the sheets. I lived in a Muslim culture for eight years. After the week of marriage celebration, then

Page 20

the taking of the vows, the couple goes to their own home. On that “first night”, when the blood of the virgin is found on the sheets, the man runs out with the sheet to show his father. Guns are shot, and cheers arise. The marriage is valid. The marriage is sealed because of the blood of the virgin. Messiah paid the price of His own blood for His Bride … and she will be virgin!!!

Going back to Sha’ul’s words in I Corinthians 7:11-12, he says that if a woman separates from her husband, let her not remarry. Sha’ul

says that he wants to spare us the problems of marriage, especially in the end times. Neither divorce or remarriage is encouraged in the Scripture, but rather discouraged. We are in a different era than has ever been in human history. Messiah says in Matthew 24:21-22: “For then there shall be great distress such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor sever shall be. And if those days were not shortened NO FLESH would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened”.

Maybe some have not noticed, but we are not in the days of “Little House on the Prairie”. We are in the days when the whole earth will be destroyed, and everyone in it, except for Yahuweh’s tiny remnant. We’re in the days of slaughter. Therefore, our focus should be on our eternal reward, on overcoming the evil one, and our receiving of our Savior, not on what color the new draperies will be in the living room.

As we go forward to obey Him, He will take care of our family. One of my children was living in sin--desperately trying to survive. I was going to Africa at the time. I determined to return to fast and pray, and tell her what was what… But, Abba said, “Leave her to me. Say nothing to her. She is mine”. I came back from Africa and my son met me at the airport. He told me about the transformation of my daughter while I was gone – and that she had returned to her faith, and given up her sin. I went forward to do His will, and He went forward to do His will for my daughter. Don’t make the mistake of those in Numbers 13, and use your children as an excuse not to obey Abba!!!

The great missionary Hudson Taylor and his wife had eight children, some died on the mission field, but they took them with them to serve Elohim in China. Many missionaries have either left their children with relatives or taken them with them to harsh fields of service. Some of Hudson Taylor’s children ended up continuing his work inside China as adults. At one point, his wife felt the call to go into the interior of China with a team of women. She was gone a year. He took the children back to England and nurtured them, then rejoined his wife. Wow—what an awesome husband. My youngest daughter goes on

Page 21

mission trips – next one is to Haiti. Her husband backs her in love, in finances and in prayer. My third child is going with her. Her husband, also, is backing her with loving encouragement, finances and prayer. This is the marriage team work that Abba loves! Awesome

In 1995, I took Bible teaching materials across the Lo Wu border into Mainland China from Hong Kong for a young lady who was teaching new believers in GuangZhou. We met afterwards at a café in ShenZehn. She said she had been married for eleven months and she loved her husband very much. She said they wanted to have children, but the work of spreading the Gospel was of prime importance. She said that her husband was at that time, going on his bicycle to deliver Bibles into villages in the north of China—at the risk of his life. She was teaching in the south. But, she said she hoped someday that they would be able to work closer together and have children. This is the attitude of those believers in countries of persecution. They do not let “family” stop them from obeying “the great commission” of Messiah to take the good news of His salvation to others. Many end up in prison, and many are killed for their faith.

Oh how awesome are blessed marriages! But, no woman needs to stay where she is dehumanizing, or where her children are molested and abused. I stayed in such a situation for 29 years, and wow did I pay for it! Ladies, seek Abba with all your heart, with purity and blamelessness. Do not do anything rash, especially if you have a husband that the Spirit can deal with. Pray, Pray, Pray!

But, ladies, men, be sure that you keep an open communication with your spouse. Let them know of your passion to serve the Master. Don’t hide it, and then leave. In all love, keep communication open!!!

Some women tell me about their wonderful spouses who are so good to them, but who do not follow the Master. Pray! Pray! Pray! Get peace. Ideal marriage is spoken of in Ephesians 5 and I Peter 3. Follow this admonition. Men, follow this admonition as to how to treat your wives.

Wives submit to your husbands, but only in Yahuweh. Husbands love your wives as Messiah loved us. Submit to one another in love. Let there be mutual respect and support. Let no one demand their own will, but come together in prayer and submission to the will of Yahuweh. Let your marriage be beautiful, and your children feel loved! Communicate within your family – let no hostility breed because of no communication, but never let there be “fighting” and

Page 22

animosity, let there be peace, love, and kindness.

Appendix A

Correspondence regarding a wife leaving her husband: Date:2/3/2010

Dear Yedidah,

I have a friend who wants me to ask you what she should do in her situation. She knows that they (her and her husband) should leave Babylon. She is not a worldly person and lives to serve Yahuweh. The problem is even though her husband keeps Sabbath and is a believer, he does not want to give up his job, or sell their land. She is torn between obeying her husband and leaving Babylon without him. She asked me what scriptures that she could look at that would help her do what Yahuweh would want her to do in her situation.

Is there any scripture that you know of that would help her in making the right biblical decision. She does not want to disobey scripture by disobeying her husband. She knows the scripture that says leave mother, father, brothers, sisters, and children but she says it doesn't say to leave your husband. All comments are welcome.

Thank you and Shalom,

My answer: “Common Problem”

Your friend has a very common problem...

I advise those in this situation, no matter whether the husband or the wife is holding back, to proceed forward with "baby steps"--carefully in prayer and peace. The Scripture speaks against divorce. But, it says that if a woman does leave her husband for her not to remarry. She should dedicate herself to the work of the Master.

First she should make sure that open communication is established between she and her husband so that there is no misunderstanding of the desire to serve Yahuweh without compromise.

She should begin to downsize -- getting rid of things unnecessary -- having a garage sale is a good place to start, giving personal things to the goodwill, to friends, etc., that won't cause a fight in the home, cleaning out the attic, cleaning out closets, etc--kind of like doing "spring cleaning"... all the time praying, and doing research on-line, or buy Lonely Planet travel books ... etc. to find out information about living in a foreign culture, country requirements, etc. At this point, because money is a factor unfortunately, going not too far is best. It

Page 23

seems that Central American is attracting a lot of people leaving America, also South America, and Mexico. Some are going to islands. Aqaba, Jordan is still a Scriptural destination. When the fleeing starts, money won't be a factor -- faith will be the only factor. Jobs are fragile, and property ownership also--since we're in a communist

takeover, and the government actually owns most people's property.

Getting Babylon out of one's heart is the hardest thing--seeing things from Abba's prospective. In I Corinthians 7, rabbi Sha'ul gives wise advise--best to stay unmarried. But when it comes to wives, "let not a wife leave her husband, BUT IF SHE LEAVES, let her not remarry."

In other words, there is an out for a woman who is in a situation where she is being abused, or her husband is in adultery, or if her

husband is causing her to go against the will of Yah. In Deuteronomy 13, there is a hint of this--that even if family members try to encourage one to go after idolatry, they are to be punished... Jobs, security, homes, possessions, social status, etc., rebellion against Yah's will for His children--these are all idols.

Actually, because the US has been taken over by community -- no one actually owns their house--their property, or has a secure job. No one owns anything -- no material goods -- for it all can be taken, without

compensation, by the state. That is just a fact.

On the basis of idolatry alone, a woman has the right to leave, if these

idols are preventing her from serving Yah.

Also, she should be aware that since America is a corporation, when America grants anyone a marriage license, they own the children, and all possessions, and can take anything they want at any time. This is why the horrible reality that children can be taken from parents, if the

parents won’t do as the government, the school, the pediatrician, the doctor, the surgeon, says regarding their child. If the government says they need your house, they can take it. It is best to take your children to safety!

Messiah calls both men and women to serve Him. Sha'ul traveled with women. I wrote an article called "Women in Ministry from Father's Point of View" -- in which I show the utter ridiculous thinking of man -- actually Ba'alistic thinking -- that excludes women from ministering the Word. When it comes to obeying Yahuweh, we have to be like a freight train at full speed -- and as the days get closer and closer to the utter take over of the US--and its destruction -- a servant of Yah has to be like the freight train.

Leaving one who refuses to obey Yahuweh, to follow the Master, is not

wrong. But, it is a hard life--there is much loneliness, and much

Page 24

trauma. Oftentimes, a woman has to leave all security. Single ladies and single men suffer more than any other group, but then it is statistical fact that 85% of all missionary work and Bible translation has been done in the last 150 years by single women! It is just that if a woman HAS TO leave her husband in order to follow Abba, then she

has to make up her mind that getting involved with a man at any point, is totally off limits.

Also, the faith level has to be high--and tested and tried--not religious

in the head stuff. It is a rough world out there for one to travel alone.

But, there are communities (sheep folds) that He is raising up with good shepherds in various places so that no one has to stay alone for

long. He is raising up sheep folds in Central and South America ... where a single woman can feel at home. But, if a person does not know how to follow the Lamb without fear, without compromise, without balking -- without trying to figure things out in their head -- walking by faith in Someone they know -- then they'll fall on their face, and hang on to man or woman for help, and thus what is

the good of their leaving? It is the survival of the fittest out there in

the real world -- only those who know Him well will survive.

Many do well at home, but out in the world of trusting Him for

everything--few can handle that. That is why Messiah said: "Those that ENDURE to the end shall be delivered”.
