Children of Light: Obedience and Faith

"We are the children of the light, for the great one gives us sight. We are the children of the light, so shine bright with all of our might." Those with knowledge will shine bright like the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

"Yahweh's soul food." Shabbat Shalom to you. Hope all is well. Missing from Estonia, hope all is well. Miss Annie, thank you for joining us at 4 or 5 in the morning. Postured Heart TNT: Torah and Truth. Amen. "We are the children of the day, for we believe and have faith. Let us be awake and be sober. For those who get drunk get drunk at night. Those who sleep, sleep at night." Be awake and be sober. A postured heart, an oil-filled lamp, Torah, awake and sober and right-minded. Without oil in our lamp, we have no light; we have darkness. This goes to the foolish virgins and the wise virgins. The wise virgins have oil, and their lamps will have light. They will have understanding. A renewed mind. Don't be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind through the blessed Holy Spirit. Have the mind of Christ Jesus. Torah, righteousness, justice. There's not a lot of righteousness or justice in the world. It's like the laws of the jungle. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in darkness. John 14 or 15. Mercy, grace, and compassion. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Denise quotes John 14:14: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." Verse 13 says, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Yeshua relates following commandments to getting answers to prayer. You can ask for anything in His name, but it's about godly and spiritual things, doing the Father's will. If you follow His commandments, you're in alignment with Him, and you'll get answers to prayer according to His will.

Sebastian quotes Revelation 14:12: "This requires the steadfast endurance of the saints, those who obey Yahweh's commandments and hold to their faith in Yeshua." This requires both obedience to Yahweh's commandments and faith in Yeshua. Satan goes after those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Yeshua. It's always both: Yeshua and Yahweh's commandments. Exodus 20 says those who love God keep His commandments. Christian friends are missing the "keep the commandments" part.

Danielle provides the Hebrew for Shabbat Shalom.

Denise quotes John 15:5: "I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me, I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." If a branch withers or does its own thing, it will be broken off, like the Jewish people were broken off due to unbelief in Romans 11. We must be in alignment with Him, like a branch is with the vine, and the vine is with the vine dresser, the Father. We need to be in alignment with the Father. Vine dresser, vine, branch – God, Yeshua, us – all in sequence, all in alignment, all together. He will make His abode with us because we are in alignment with Him. It's all back to the Father and His commandments. Yeshua is the only begotten Son of the Father.

Proverbs 31:9: "Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and the needy." This is about justice and righteousness. Jeremiah spoke about this.

Monster 4103, Shabbat Shalom. "May His blessing and tender mercies abound." We receive that.

Denise: "The ways of God are higher than our ways. God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts." Help us, heavenly Father, to keep Your commandments. The Holy Spirit to lead us into obedience, not rebellion. Faith without works is dead. Speak the truth to each other and render true and sound judgment. Do not plot evil or swear falsely.

Royalty, Shabbat Shalom. Following Yeshua is different than following Christianity. It's a huge difference in understanding the Gospels and New Testament writings from the Torah, prophets, and Psalms.

If we have the education of the original revelation of Torah, the original revelation out of God's mouth, and if we have "Thus Sayeth the Lord" from the prophets, and if we have all the great psalmist, including King David, and if we understand that, the New Testament will read smooth and silky. I've been in Christianity for 38 years and following Jesus for 12 years, and there's a totally different way. I've been meaning to do this video for about two or three years now about why I left Christianity to follow Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. Most Christians would look at that and be like, "What in the world is he talking about?" That's the point. That's the point is I left Christianity to follow the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus. Some people, Christians look at it and say, "What are you talking about?" Well, that's the point is they're in rebellion. They're not following Jesus. They're not following what he said out of his own mouth, to follow me.
