The Sabbath Myth Series | The Sabbath Feast | Reclaiming the Delight of the Sabbath

Image
We have taken a weekly festival of pure, unadulterated joy and turned it into a spiritual funeral. For generations, well-meaning teachers and rigid traditionalists have approached the seventh day with a sense of dread rather than desire. They look at the clock on Friday afternoon, not with the anticipation of a prisoner about to be emancipated, but with the anxiety of an inmate bracing for lockdown. They have allowed narrow-minded gatekeepers to strip the joy out of Elohim's holy day, leaving behind a dreary checklist   of "thou shalt nots.” Let’s be straightforward and cut through the religious and spiritual noise: The reason the Sabbath is not a delight today is because we have allowed man-made restrictions to suffocate it. The Sabbath was never meant to be a weekly exercise in religious paralysis where you sit in a dark, cold house, terrified to move, terrified to cook, terrified to celebrate, and terrified to smile. It is not a restriction of life; it is a monument to life...

Jewels of Wisdom | Stuck in Neutral | The Refusal to Grow in Knowledge

Image
We’ve all heard the phrase, "They opened the door for us." And it’s true. A generation of teachers, pastors, and pioneers helped wake our people up to who we are as a nation. They handed us a key. But instead of walking through the door, turning on the lights, and studying to show ourselves approved, too many of our people have set up camp right on the threshold. They are either stuck in neutral, refusing to advance in knowledge, or frankly, stuck on stupid , doubling down on doctrines that defy both scripture and sound judgment. It is time to face the raw truth. Our predecessors didn't know everything. In fact, some of what they taught consisted of surface-level understandings, distortions, or flat-out errors. If we keep recirculating their mistakes just because they were the ones who "woke us up," we aren't honoring the Most High; we are worshiping men. 1. Fighting "Tooth and Nail" to Remain Blind The scriptures explicitly foretold that as we ap...

The Sabbath Myth Series | Silencing the Mockers | The Truth About the "No Fire" Sabbath Myth

Image
We’ve all been there. You want to honor YAH, you want to keep His Sabbath holy, and you want to walk in obedience. But then you stumble across Exodus 35:3 : "Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.” Suddenly, panic sets in. You start overthinking everything . Can I turn on my heater when it's freezing outside? Am I allowed to cook or even warm up a plate of food? Can I flip a light switch, or does that count as sparking a fire? What about the microwave? And what about my car? The internal combustion engine literally works by creating a tiny spark of fire in the cylinders, does that mean driving to Sabbath service is a sin? Well, according to Hebrew teachers and the Jews, it is!! But hold on, what does YAH commands? Meanwhile, the mockers are laughing. They point to this verse and say, "See? YAH's laws are archaic, outdated, and impossible to keep in the 21st century." Even those who preach against the Sabbath use it as a weapon, ...
