WITHOUT ROOTS, WE DIE

Without Roots, We Die

To know where you are going, you must know where you stand.

This is highly important as we grow deeper into Him. There cannot be a movement forward into establishing the Kingdom of Heaven, without understanding the roots by which we stand.

Yahweh Himself has set an order for those that are His assembly, His people, to follow; so we may be found in Him and all others can know that they are welcome to be a part of what He is doing.

However, this is difficult to achieve, if we ignore or if we altogether; curse, our roots.

Ancient Egypt was known as one of the most powerful civilizations in it's day, under the rule of the Pharaohs. Because of it's reach, many faraway lands had dealings with them as well as were fed by them. It is safe to say, that many different peoples from these far away lands came to Egypt for more wealth and prosperity.

Therefore, when the time came for Yahweh to take His people back from bondage and slavery, there were not only Israelites who crossed the Red Sea, but those known as Egyptians - - and peoples from a far away land.

Together, Yahweh called the large mass of people His assembly, His people of which He would be their God. He regardless of creed gave them instructions, a Holy Priesthood and the understanding of His Kingship at Mount Sinai.

He prepared 3 feasts that we, His assembly, are to follow every year not in routine but in gladness; with Him. This is all for our benefit!! Constantly, He has us, His people, in mind.

Did He say, 'all non-Israelites are not welcome?' No!!! He welcomed them in, and in due time; they became part of the 12 tribes of Israel - - the very same ones scattered across the Earth. Different tongues they may speak, but many more of us are descended from these tribes than we may know.

Yahweh again made Himself clear when His intention was to include every race, tongue and creed as those who chose to be His people when He illuminated this to Peter in Acts 10:34 - 48.

"34-36 Peter fairly exploded with his good news: “It’s God’s own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel—that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again—well, he’s doing it everywhere, among everyone. 37-38 “You know the story of what happened in Judea. It began in Galilee after John preached a total life-change. Then Jesus arrived from Nazareth, anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, ready for action. He went through the country helping people and healing everyone who was beaten down by the Devil. He was able to do all this because God was with him. 39-43 “And we saw it, saw it all, everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem where they killed him, hung him from a cross. But in three days God had him up, alive, and out where he could be seen. Not everyone saw him—he wasn’t put on public display. Witnesses had been carefully handpicked by God beforehand—us! We were the ones, there to eat and drink with him after he came back from the dead. He commissioned us to announce this in public, to bear solemn witness that he is in fact the One whom God destined as Judge of the living and dead. But we’re not alone in this. Our witness that he is the means to forgiveness of sins is backed up by the witness of all the prophets.”44-46 No sooner were these words out of Peter’s mouth than the Holy Spirit came on the listeners. The believing Jews who had come with Peter couldn’t believe it, couldn’t believe that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on “outsider” non-Jews, but there it was—they heard them speaking in tongues, heard them praising God.46-48 Then Peter said, “Do I hear any objections to baptizing these friends with water? They’ve received the Holy Spirit exactly as we did.” Hearing no objections, he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay on for a few days." -- Acts 10:34 - 48 MSG

Who then, are we, to say that this one and/or that one cannot be a part of this Kingdom of God when they already have it in their blood!

The main question however, is the same for each individual; we can either run from the truth, believing there are no roots and inheritance for us - - or we can receive the beautiful lineage God has created for those who CHOOSE to be a part of His assembly, His people., by following what He has told us since then that we are to follow.

Are we to take an animal and do sacrifices? NO!! Please do NOT do that; let sweet Fluffy live happily.

Are we to then ask Yeshua to show each of us how we are to partake in His divine cycles and feasts? Yes.

Not to be religious about it. ...Please no.

But to seek Him, and earnestly desire to come into agreement with something that He wants to build intimacy and a relationship with you.

This is one of the strongest ways to come in contact with something greater than yourself, is to submit and obey what Yahweh is leading you to do and how HE - - not anyone else, yourself, or the world - - wants you to accomplish that.

It is our sincerest prayer and hope, that you come into your true identity today; and receive the blessings and wonders that are beyond your wildest imaginations purely found in Him when we give Him all we have and what this world has labeled us as--so we receive the crown He has in mind for us - - a Child of the Most High God, Yahweh HaMashiach.

Be encouraged, step into your rightful identity in Him; and seek Him, the true God who has parted the seas, guided by fire and cloud, and who died on a cross for us.

He loves you greatly, and He has not only many things He wants to tell you; but He has a place for you, right beside Him.

Be Greatly Blessed and Encouraged,
