Under the Canopy during Shavuot.

While here in the States I have heard a lot of talk about the military’s operation ‘Jade Helm’ which seems to be some sort of drill for future civil disturbance/ natural disaster/ martial law.
Many people are aware of the government undermining the constitution and bringing the USA under the United Nation’s ‘Agenda 21’ (the same has already happened in Australia as people slept). Although what has been referred to by people as the New World Order (NWO) brings chills down many folk’s spines, I have often said that God didn’t make a covenant with the NWO, but with Israel. And He has made a covenant with all those that put their trust in His Son, a covenant that was signed with the most precious blood of all, Yeshua HaMashiach.
For this reason I have nick named our Pentecost camp, ‘Shavuot Helm’ because the Lord is raising up Israel even as the forces of darkness ‘raise Cain’. The Lord יהוה is not making people aware of the Sabbath and feasts in order to destroy them. Because the Lord keeps covenant, He will also keep us as we abide in Him. We all suffer in this world because we are not of it, we bare the Word of Elohim and the testimony of Yeshua. We go against the flow. Yet it is precisely this that will preserve us in the time of testing that is coming as America and the western world caves in on itself in its moral vacuum caused by rebellion to Yeshua and His Commandments. The Lord is in the process of raising Israel, some believers may die for all sorts of reasons during the coming upheaval. But the bulk of those that keep His commandments and listen to His voice will make it through.
Although it is important for us to learn His word, the greatest thing we can learn is our utter dependence upon the grace of Almighty God, אל שדי. And our knowledge of Torah should humble us, rather than fill us with pride. Moses was humble; those that hear Moses should be humble also. The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is to know and how little I know. Furthermore, knowledge of doctrine should lead us to a knowledge of the Lord, a personal knowledge of Him, a living walk with Him. Messianics that sweat the small stuff and bicker over details and forget to love their brothers and sisters are in danger of judgement in the time of judgement that is coming upon America and the world. Messianics that are proud are in even greater danger. The following verse is a comfort to me…
כִּי כֹה אָמַר רָם וְנִשָּׂא שֹׁכֵן עַד וְקָדֹושׁ שְׁמֹו מָרֹום וְקָדֹושׁ אֶשְׁכֹּון וְאֶת־דַּכָּא וּשְׁפַל־רוּחַ לְהַחֲיֹות רוּחַ שְׁפָלִים וּֽלְהַחֲיֹות לֵב נִדְכָּאִים׃
Isaiah 57:15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
I was invited to speak this weekend at the Pentecost / שבועת (Shavuot) camp organized by B’nai Israel messianic fellowship here in Oklahoma. We braved the stormy weather, including tornado threats to take our tents and trailers to the campsite near Fort Smith, Arkansas called Springhill Park.
I spoke on Sabbath on the Torah portion B’midbar. And on Sunday יום ראשון, which was Pentecost / שבועת, I gave a talk in the driving torrential rain, under a canopy to the brave souls gathered here. I had to shout to project my voice! I have included the audio for posterity.
We watched the Arkansas river rise dramatically over the weekend. Once the trailers were parked and the tents were up we enjoyed some food and fellowship. The past week I have enjoyed staying in my hosts Al & Jeanne’s large trailer/caravan with the expander units which dramatically enlarge the interior space available, making it a home away from home. However I opted to use a tent provided for me to use by my fellow believers.
Post Script
P.S. I have been so busy with stuff that I haven’t yet got some videos uploaded as I had hoped to.
I am editing the video of my talk titled ‘The Kingdom of David’ at a camp at Lake Fort Smith which I gave on Saturday 16th May in Arkansas. This will be available on YouTube soon.
I also visited Zach Bauer of new2torah.com at his farm and we plucked some chickens and enjoyed his family’s hospitality. We also were given a tour of his Aquaponic farm. I think those interested in growing food off the grid in lean times may be interested.
I have had a few emails requesting visits which has been encouraging. I am looking to the Lord to help me inform His people concerning the regathering of the lost tribes of the House of Israel. Please keep me in your prayers if you feel led, so that the doors that the Lord wants opened will open and those He wants closed will be closed. The time is short, the days are increasingly evil, but God is good!
Cheers and Godbless
B’shem Yeshua HaMashiach
