Let’s talk about food and it’s time line in scripture 🤯

1. Genesis 1:29:
"Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'"The Plain Meaning: Only plants are assigned as food. Meat is not mentioned.

2. Genesis 9:3
"Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

"The Plain Meaning: God directly references the Genesis 1 plant command and explicitly expands it to include animals for the first time.
3. Leviticus 11:2
"Say to the Israelites: 'Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat...'

"The Plain Meaning: The text introduces a strict list of allowed (clean) and forbidden (unclean) meats specifically for the nation of Israel.

4. Acts 10:15 & Acts 15:28-29The Text (Acts 10): "The voice spoke to him a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.'
(Acts 15): "It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals...

"The Plain Meaning: The text records a direct command to the first followers ("The Way") declaring previously forbidden animals clean, leaving only specific blood-related restrictions for non-Jewish believers.
Without any theological interpretation, the plain text of the Bible moves from plants only, to all meat, to restricted meat, back to all meat (minus blood).🩸

Leviticus 11:1-8, 13-14, 20-22 outlines dietary restrictions for the Israelites, prohibiting animals without cloven hooves or cud-chewing abilities, specific birds, and most insects, while permitting locusts and crickets.

Genesis 9:1-4 permits consuming animals but bans eating meat with its blood, and Acts 15:19-20, 28-29 instructs early Christians to avoid food offered to idols, strangled meat, and blood.

The scriptures regarding dietary choices at the end times are found in

1 Timothy 4:1–4, which warns that people will wrongly forbid eating meat, while Romans 14:1–3 and Colossians 2:16 instruct believers not to judge or argue with one another over dietary choices. Together, these passages emphasize that food choices are personal matters of conscience rather than requirements for faith, promoting freedom and community harmony over legalism.

Our manual it is ❤️💪🤷🏻‍♀️

But I do believe it’s a matter of the heart to avoid gluttony and eating like the world. 🌎 

So there is still a lot to sustain from like energy drinks 🥤 sugar, packet food, 3-D printed food, lab made food.

I think we’re getting the picture, for Health we must stick to nature, Yahuah given foods!

May Yahuahs mercy fall on us all!

Time to clean our gowns!

Wake up remnant!

Turn your focus on self!

The song used the transliterated name JC which we do not but the words are the same same for us all!

We use Yahusha which is an older language but equivalent to Yehoshua/Yeshua and in English Joshua 🙌🏽!
The full Hebrew etymology reveals how the pure definition of translation must handle a name that contains a nested proper noun.

The name Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) is a late-biblical contraction of the older Hebrew name Yehoshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ), which we know in modern English as Joshua. When looked at in full context, this name is not a single word—it is a sentence compound.The Two Components of the NameThe Divine Prefix: The first part (Yeho- or Ya-) is a direct reference to the Tetragrammaton, the personal name of God (YHWH / Yahuah / Yahweh).The Root Verb: The second part (-shua) is derived from the Hebrew root yasha, meaning "to save," "to deliver," or "salvation."Therefore, when the compound elements are fully unpacked, the complete meaning of the original word is "Yahuah is salvation" or "Yahuah saves."Applying the Pure DefinitionIf a translator's strict rule is that a pure translation must preserve the literal meaning, while a pure transliteration must preserve the vocal sounds, a full-context view yields distinct paths: [ ORIGINAL HEBREW COMPOUND: YEHO-SHUA ]

"Yahuah saves" "Yah-hoo-shoo-ah"
1. Pure Translation (Keeping the Full Meaning)Instead of replacing the name with a single substitute word like "Salvation", a complete translation must account for the specific identity of the Savior embedded within the word. A pure translation of the sentence-name into English is:"Yahuah saves""Yahuah is salvation"If you read a Bible text that used a pure translation method, every time the name of the Messiah appeared, it would literally read as a declaration: "And you shall call His name Yahuah Saves, for He will save His people from their sins."2. Pure Transliteration (Keeping the Sound)If the goal is to map the physical sounds directly across alphabets without translating what they mean, the target language must mimic the original phonetic pronunciation as closely as possible.The sound of the shortened second-temple form translates directly into English characters as Yeshua.The sound of the full, uncontracted ancient name translates into English characters as Yehoshua or Yahushua.Why the Evolution Lost the ContextWhen the text was moved into Greek, the translators chose transliteration over translation. However, because the Greek language lacked a "Y" sound, a "Sh" sound, and a phonetic way to handle the internal "H" of the divine name, the sounds collapsed. Ya-hu-shua or Ye-shua had to be spelled out phonetically using Greek letters as Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς).When Iēsous was pulled into Latin (Iesus) and finally into English with a hardened "J", it became Jesus. Through this multi-step sound adaptation, the explicit linguistic link to the Father's name (Yahuah) became completely hidden to the modern reader.Ultimately, using the full context shows that the English name "Jesus" is a distant acoustic cousin (transliteration), whereas the phrase "Yahuah is salvation" is the accurate, uncompromised definition (translation).If you are interested, we can look closer at:The linguistic process of how Hebrew sentence-names (theophoric names) function in the Old Testament.A comparison of how other names containing the divine prefix—like Yochanan (John) or Eliyahu (Elijah)—are handled by translators.

Lets discuss the saying people throw around about the parable of the wheat and tares
They keep people sitting in congregations where his spirit no longer resides! as well as what “church” means!

In the original Hebrew scriptures, qahal specifically refers to the people of Israel gathering together for worship, covenant renewal, or communal purpose.
The primary Hebrew words used for this concept include:Qahal (קָהָל):
Used in the original Hebrew Bible to describe the congregation of God's people.
It emphasizes the event of gathering.Edah (עֵדָה): Also translates to "congregation" or "assembly" in scripture, emphasizing the unified whole of the community appointed by God.Kehilah (קְהִלָּה): A modern Hebrew derivative of qahal used to describe a religious community or congregation.

(Note: The Modern Hebrew word for a physical Christian church building is Knesiyah (כְּנֵסִיָּה), but this is a much later term that shares a root with the Israeli parliament, the Knesset 🤯🧐

As in the beginning will be at the end of time! those gathering together in spirit and truth!

Do not sit with the unevenly yolked, read the rules around pass over which is not called the “last supper “ and what you call today communion!

The verse you use for tares and wheat are in the world not Followship!

The parable of the wheat and the tares explicitly governs our coexistence in the secular world, whereas communion rules strictly govern the purity of local fellowship.
Scripture draws a sharp line between how believers interact with unbelievers in public society versus how they gather at the Lord's Table.1. The Direct Contrast: World vs. Fellowship The Greek and Hebrew concepts for these two environments are entirely separate:The World olam

The "field" where the wheat and tares must grow together until the end of the age (Matthew 13:38).

Believers are explicitly told not to try and purge unbelievers out of the secular world.

The Fellowship (chaburah: The covenant assembly gathered around the communion table.
While the world is a mixed field, the fellowship is commanded to maintain strict spiritual boundaries.2. Communion Rules Require Self-Examination and Separation Communion (the Lord's Supper) introduces strict laws of exclusion that contradict the "let them grow together" rule of the world's field.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread Principle: Paul uses the Hebrew concept of purging chametz (leaven/yeast, root \ to explain communion fellowship in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8:\Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump...
In Hebrew thought, leaven represents sin and false doctrine. While tares (sinners) are left alone in the world's field, leaven (sinners) must be removed from the fellowship.
The Command to Discern: In 1 Corinthians 11:28-29, believers are commanded to examine themselves before eating the bread and drinking the cup. Anyone who eats unworthily eats judgment to themselves. The world cannot do this; therefore, the world cannot participate in communion.3. Clear Scriptural Boundary Lines The Apostle Paul explicitly resolves any confusion between how we treat people in the world versus how we treat people in fellowship: ┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Where is the Person? │
└──────────────┬───────────────┘

Outside the Fellowship Inside the Fellowship
(In the Secular World) (At the Communion Table)

"Let both grow together" "Put away from yourselves
Do not judge them. that wicked person."
(Matthew 13:29-30) (1 Corinthians 5:12-13)
In 1 Corinthians 5:9-13, Paul writes that he did not mean to avoid the immoral people of this world—otherwise you would have to leave the world entirely! Instead, he commands:"Do not keep company with anyone named a brother, who is worldly... with such a person not even to eat."✅ ConclusionT he command to let the wheat and tares grow together applies strictly to the secular world, while the rules of communion demand holy separation and strict boundaries within the fellowship.

Prove this wrong!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏽🧐examine your beliefs and be taught by the spirit for no man need to teach you as it says in the epistles of John please pull out the word of God and start learning for yourself!

My favourite day of the week ❤️

I have taken sabbath now for many years and over time I’ve received a deeper understanding of it and what the father has gifted us from practicing this day and I can tell you I’ll never drop this day for anything or anyone!

During the most productive days of my life and the most trying this day was what got me through!

Raising 6 kids mostly on my own, but not without their help support and love, my little power packed team they were while a raised up a large business which I have had for the last 17 years delivering wellness to our community.

I never took money for this work I served on barter and koha (donations) while my Father Yahuah was left with paying the bills! And he did!
Thank you Father ❤️

And he did just that!

The price I had to pay was pure discipline and obedience.

To walk in faith, trust and belief!

Little old me! I came across many giants!

Brain injurie, rouge workers and businesses associates, theft, broken promises, 2008 recession and covid and so much more!

But all I could hear was

“No man can shut doors Yahuah opens”

Yahuah is faithful

Tribulation is refining

Sabbath is resting in him and knowing he is our Elohim 💜

Be still and know he is God!

Let God focus on the big things and may we focus on the little things!relationship takes two!

Let God focus on the big things and may we focus on the little things!
relationship takes two!

There are battles in life that are easy to recognize.
The giants in front of us.
The struggles we openly fight.
The pain, the fear, the pressure, the enemies we pray to overcome.

David defeated Goliath with faith in God.
He stood before a giant when everyone else was afraid.
He trusted God when no one believed victory was possible.
But the same man who conquered a giant was later defeated by something smaller… a single wrong look.

Sometimes the greatest danger is not the battle outside us, but the temptation inside us.
One careless gaze, one moment of weakness, one unchecked desire can slowly destroy what years of obedience built.

That is why we must guard not only our actions, but also our eyes, our thoughts, and our hearts.
Not every enemy comes with a sword.
Some enemies come quietly through distraction, temptation, pride, and hidden sin.

The enemy knows he cannot always destroy strong people through fear, so he tries to destroy them through compromise.
A strong believer can resist storms, yet still fall through a door left slightly open.

But this message is not only a warning — it is also a reminder of God’s mercy.
Even after David failed, God still called him back.
God disciplines, restores, forgives, and transforms those who sincerely repent.

So today, ask God for strength not only to defeat giants, but also to overcome hidden temptations.
Pray for clean eyes, a pure heart, and wisdom to walk in holiness even when nobody is watching.

Because true victory is not just winning public battles…
it is remaining faithful to God in private moments too. 🙏✨

Great reminder 🙏🏽

Great reminder 🙏🏽

Not everyone who looks full is truly satisfied, and not everyone who appears empty is truly lacking. In this world, we often measure life by what we can see—wealth, comfort, abundance—but God measures differently. The body may be filled, yet the soul can still be starving. And sometimes, the one who has nothing in the eyes of the world is the very one who is closest to the heart of God.
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4
True life is not found in excess, but in dependence on Him. It is not the overflow of material things that sustains us, but the presence of God that gives us strength, peace, and purpose. When we chase only what feeds the flesh, we risk starving our spirit. But when we seek His word, even in dryness, even in lack, we find a well that never runs dry.
God sees beyond appearances. He sees the hunger of the heart, the cries in silence, and the faith that holds on even when nothing is left. Blessing is not always comfort—it is knowing Him, trusting Him, and being sustained by His word in every season.
So today, do not measure your life by what you have or don’t have. Measure it by how close you are to God. Because in Him, even the empty are filled, and even the weak are made strong.
