  1. Interesting Rachel72 and LadyRaven the two of you mentioned writing and that is one of my past times. You guys are so insightful... WOW. That is a good idea to occupy myself in that manner, until hubby gets on board with teaching. The two of you just brought it out plainly, with Rachel72's suggestion about the magazine and the fact that Lady Raven used to do it. (Okay Lady Raven let's get back to it.) You are good and like you said measuring humor with deep doctrinal issues can be a dose of good medicine that allows believers to remain open without resistance and conflict. I self-published a book last year October 2005 called, "Wounded in the House of a Friend", it is a guide to how to recover from being hurt in the church. So many folks have been hurt in and by the church and the pulpit would make you believe that the wounded are a group of weak Christians who are just whiners, but not so. The book guides us as believers in how to resolve conflict when it arises, and validates the pain of the wounded, rather than blaming them for being "too weak or sensitive". The book also explores and uncovers the real reason the wounded get hurt, and exposes the real enemy and (hint) it ain't the devil. Sometimes we leave ourselves in the line of fire and there are some key ways I bring out in the book to avoid this. It is a quick read and keeps it real, by discussing some of the issues we have all heard about in media and true stories we can identify with that can be seen in all churches that lead to being hurt. If you want a freebie copy just let me know. Rachel 72, I will contact that magazine to see what their requirements are to contribute articles. I love this Board and you guys are great. Each day I rush to my computer to see the new topics and research the ones I feel led to provide a detailed respond to or just jump in. I think I will post a new topic to get some feedback on church hurt and how it is dealt with and how it could be avoided and/or overcome. Sweet idea guys. LadyRaven let's get with it, back to ministry through the pen. There are lots of things plaguing the church that we can write solutions about, plus I have a few extra ISBN numbers if you guys need them. Hugs and Kisses , Yah's Girl
  2. "two yrs ago I would have seen you as being "preachy and annoying." I'll be so happy when "easily and loudly" are pared off of me as well." Lady Raven, you are the best and so very, very funny. I laughed until I almost cried about your comments about yourself and me. Your words, peaceafire, and Rachel72 are filled with wisdom and compassion. Thanks for your genuine love and concern. Keep praying for us. "What we need to remember is that, in the end, God is sovereign. Everything works together for good, nothing which He purposes goes undone and so regardless of how her husband is malfunctioning right now, he is NOT screwing up God's eternal plans. He might be irritating his wife and doing other things, but God's plan for saving the world is not at risk." That really puts things in perspective. This issue has not placed Yah's plan for saving the world at risk. You are so refreshingly humorous. Shucks, you are down right funny, and filled with wisdom. Thanks.
  3. Hi Rachel72, Now that is love. I thank you so much for standing for Leonard. I thank you for your heartfelt report of his Christ like conduct. That really makes a difference to me. Thanks. Your words were also very inspiring for me about my situation. It is good to know that someone understands my extreme passion for ministry. Yes, those are good questions; How long do I wait, and is not it more important to do what Yah (God) says? With your prayers and the prayers of the others who checked in, I am positive that Yah will confirm the time and help my husband. I think that while I wait I could offer some assistance right here at Worthy, by chiming in on questions, doctrinal issues and other matters to assist as the Holy Spirit give me what to share. I actually feel so much better. I was so low regarding this matter, and there are yet issues to address with my husband, but I am confident that Yah has spoken through you all. I love you my brethren. I have never had anyone be there for me, as all of you have. It is so moving. As far as the business goes, it has seen better days, should the tide turn and Yah agree, I could stay. The business is a software development business and takes up so much of my time and life, it would be hard to do it part-time, as a lot of the work is keeping up with new technologies, learning them and deploying them. The competition is grevious and the economy is just plain bad for this type of business, because there are so many competitors in the bid process, and offshore resources are beginning to dominate, as they can do alot of the work for less than in the States. I have placed the business in Yah's hands. Thank you and Yah's blessing to you all. My prayer for you all is that for your kindness to me that Yah honor you with your heart's desire. I love Worthy Boards and expect to be a long time member.
  4. Thank you Lady Raven, you words will be taken to the heart as they bear witness with my spirit and the Word. To Leonard, I will not regard your comments as your tree is bearing fruit that seems to have some issues. It is not that I disagree with you, as I do not have an opinion, but I am seeking "GODLY" counsel, not brutish words that I perceive bear no love whatsoever. As I am a new member, I will watch diligently for believers of your sort to avoid them. You can offer counsel in love that is firm and scriptural; consider the counsel of Lady Raven for example. She agrees with you and she supports her concerns scripturally and in love and I will consider her words deeply. Leonard, consider what I say to you, this is not an attack. When new members join this board it is because they have an immediate need and "no one", absolutely "no one" to hear them or support them. I have "noone", but Yah and it is my hope that HE would speak through his people. Support can be strong medicine and I am prepared for that. I am a dedicated believer and live a life that is above reproach before Yah, myself and even man. So, as you said I am a "Big Girl", and I can handle strong criticism when need, but it is not needed here. People are desperate for a word from Yah, and they can't get it from the pulpit. (see the post "FAMINE IN THE LAND" by Butero) because they want to do the right thing, and they need love not condemnation or accusations of carnal intentions or rebellion. To the forum, Quite frankly we have a great, happy home life, with happy kids that excel naturally and spiritually. There is no tension or arguing or any of that madness. No perversions like porography, masterbation, etc. Many have considered us the marriage to pattern after, and it is not pretense. To answer Lady Raven's question, we are Hebrew Roots, Torah observant "Christian" Bible teachers, not Pastors. However, we are sent to Pastors and other Church Leaders to teach them the Hebrew Roots of the Christian Faith, and about Shabbat and the other moadims of Yah. Lady Raven your words bore witness with my spirit. I do not believe my husband is ready and he knows that he will be the one out front, as he is the man, and he may not be biblically ready for that. If I take oppotunities to learn more about my Hebrew Roots by going to seminary, it would put him further behind. He will not admit this, but as I read your message it bears witness. He wants me to learn at his pace, so we are together in knowledge. He is an exceptional Hebrew Roots teachers and I excel in Torah, and have a keen biblical understanding of the law of Moses and the restoration of the Two Houses Judah and Ephraim. Getting him to admit this would be like getting President Bush to admit that he has a financial interest and benefit from the high price of gas. I will wait and not go, as he needs to be delivered from this "thing" and it runs deep if you read my last post. It is important that Yah approve us, so we can be successful, and if it means waiting for Yah to deliver him for us to be successful in ministry them I will. Leonard and others, please read the scripture in Deut 13 that I posted in my orginal message. This is quite significant in my mind, as it warns that if anyone, even those close to you who purposefully steer you away from the things of Yah to something idolatrous, do not regard them even if they seem to have signs and wonders flowing from their life. It also says that Yah will take care of that person, if they continue to do so. If there was a hole behind me and I was backing up into it, my husband would probably say you need to look out; but he would never grab me, tell me there was a hole behind me and save me from falling in. Honestly, we would quietly let me fall in, and walk away. He would walk by me in that hole for weeks until I asked him why did you not warn me of the hole before I fell in, and he would be annoyed at me for falling in and for asking his help to get out, and then he would say I could have told you the hole was there as he pulled me out weeks later. This is who he is and has been all of our marriage, though he is all of those other wonderful things, and though we have a good marriage and no "real" problems. This is a problem. I know it sounds strange, but it is so. I am not a rebellious person by any means and my husband can vouch for that. Lady Raven, I beleive he has an issue in his heart, that only Yah can address. Continue to pray for him and us.
  5. Hi Candikane, Yah (God-Psalms 68:4) has blessed you and saved you from a life time of pain. Though it may not seem so now; trust me he has. Yah did not like how he treated you and would not have been a good Father to allow him to continue to abuse his daughter. He is a good Father and has removed this menace from your life. Be glad my dear as Yah has shown forth his great love for you. When you read your own post again you will wonder what you saw in someone who repeatedly abuses you, refuses to take any responsibility for his own actions and behaviors and cuts off your head to make himself look taller. Now, do you really need that. When Yah frees you from trouble don't go seeking it out again. Things are not as they appear for him. Believe the word, that as a man soweth that shall he also reap, but Yah will not double team anybody so stop looking for his fall and look toward your bright future without him. Baruch HaShem Yah for his faithfulness to you. Shalom, Yah's Girl
  6. To all who have commented you have really lifted my heart. Just knowing that you are praying and have offered such words of support and wisdom have given me great anticipation of Yah's deliverance. However, Leonard, I do thank you for your posts, it shows you took the time to care, but I wonder about you. It is important for you to know that the letter killeth, but the spirit maketh alive. InternalFlame, I hear your heart and your words have touched mine. I have spoken quite candidly to my husband and he agrees that he has not been as passionate or supportive as he could be about our ministry. However, he offered no explaination other than he would change it, because he really see us in ministry together, yet when he is provided an oppotunity to support he continues to discourage. For instance, I told him I found a Hebrew roots based chat room and was sharing and responding to doctrinal questions along with other believers, he scoffed and turned and walked away obviously annoyed. I asked him later why he seemed annoyed that I was sharing and he acted like he did not know what I was talking about. He realized what he had done and later returned and asked if I enjoyed myself among the believers online. It does not change his first reaction which came from his heart. What is this? Is it a test? I am profoundly perplexed. Rachel72, you have perceived well. I do not know if I should go, without him as he seems to want to go, but as you have rightly stated, it is like having your leg chained to a rock which will not move. He says he wants to, but his actions are contradictory. I will share this, a few months ago (about 4-5 months) a prophet called us up together and spoke to us about ministry and said that we must be careful that we do not allow jealousy to come in among us. My husband scoffed at the prophets words, but they were confirmed in my heart. When I tried to talk to him about the jealousy issue that the prophet addressed he dismissed the conversation and moved to another subject. I knew it was a real issue as I had not forgotten that many years ago, I have been asked to teach and he was in the audience. After the session, he came up to me and the first thing he said almost clearing his conscious, was that he actually felt a little jealousy as I stood and taught, but he shook it off. My husband is a very accomplished man. He is very well educated and has multiple college degrees. He makes an exceptional salary and has obtained many copyrights and patons for engineering design. I on the other hand am educated as well, and have run a business for 9 years which I hope to get out of soon, but he told me many years ago that in his heart he really did not want the business to succeed. Talk about oneness out the window, I was shocked, but did not show it. It kind of explained why the business had been such a struggle for me so long, and he would never offer advise to steer me in the right direction then either. I hope this sheds more light for the wise. I welcome your comments.
  7. Hi Yahsway, I want to hear your comments, but the PM feature does not seem to work for me either, and I do not have any PMs at all so it can not be full. It is giving me an error message. I perceive that you are Torah observant and from your posts quite learned in the word of Yah. I really desire your counsel. Shalom, Yah's Girl
  8. Thank you "peaceafire" for your heart felt prayer. May the Lord bless and defend you. May he cause his face to shine upon you and continually give you his peace. Thank you for caring enough.
  9. My husband is a gifted teacher of the scriptures, but he does not seem to have the same passion for ministry that I do though it is clear he would like to have this passion. We were interested in starting a radio broadcast in our area, and he asked me to get the information together. I did and even got a tremendous rate for the broadcast, when I presented it to him. He tried to act excited, but he really was not. He kept putting off signing the deal until it became a non-issue. We wanted to start a home Bible Study and when we got people who would attend the study he found a way to back out. I wanted to go to seminary to study the Hebrew Roots of the Christian faith. He was upset and thought I could get the same teaching from Hebrew roots teaching tapes. He suggested that I go to Law school instead. He is a great husband and is an excellent Christian and has the highest integrity, but he seems to purposely steer me from my ministry. I am also a gifted Bible teacher. We recently visited a ministry, where the pastor made disparaging remarks about women and that he likes them to keep silent, not approach him, etc., etc. My husband knows that I am passionate about ministry, and I told him I was uncomfortable with this ministry as I felt I would not be allowed to go forward in ministry, but my husband just ignored the Pastor's remarks and said God had answered our prayers to find a church that teaches the truth. The Lord led me to Deutronomy 13 chapter. Deuteronomy 13: 1
  10. Hi Rachel, First read Genesis Chapter 37, Chapter 39-49. This is the whole story. You must consider Joseph's dream to understand what happened. Remember he had a dream that all of his brothers would essentially bow down to him. There is a bigger picture going on here that is beyond Joseph, but is a part of the prophetic plan of Yah (God-Psalms 68:4-His True Name) for the restoration of the lost sheep of the House of Israel that Jesus said he came for in Matthew 15:24 "But he answered and said, I am not sent "but" unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." There was a promise made to Abraham, that he would be a father of many nations. The promise was passed down to Isaac and Jacob. Jacob had 12 sons, who are beginnings of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the "beginning" of the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham. The 12 son's of Jacob were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Gad, Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Joseph was the son of Jacob's beloved wife Rachel. She also had another son named Benjamin. The older son of his wife Leia (who was hated or loved less) was Reuben and the older son of his wife Rachel (the beloved) was Joseph. Typically the heir of the promise or inheritance when a father dies is his eldest son, however Reuben broke a commandment of God when he slept with his father's wife-Bilhah. But according to the law in Deuteronomy 21:15-17 it states.. 15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated: 16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: 17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. This is too much to explain here, but I trust that you will read the scriptures and allow Yah to give you the understand. I will set it up, but it is more than we have been taught in the church and the scriptures bear it out about Joseph from slavery to ruler. In Genesis Chapter 49, as Jacob was dying he called his 12 son's (tribes) to bless them. He told Reuben the son of the hated and the firstborn that he was unstable as water and shall not excel. The word "excel" there mean to be dead, as a corpse-literally or figuratively. Because he defiled his bed by sleeping with one of his wives. He essentially in Chapter 48:5 took Joseph's two sons to be his own, and he passed the blessing of Abraham, which was also his blessing to Joseph
  11. How does the thought of being without him make you feel? Generally people who are afraid to commit typically need someone around at all times. They don't want to be committed, but they are also afraid of being alone. Do you love him or do you love being able to be with him. Just having a BF. I can say this, that when you have found Mr. Right regardless of parental shipwrecks, you know if you want to spend the rest of your life with him. If you still want to date, maybe you should and see if there is someone else who is more suited for you. When I met my husband I could not image wanting to date someone else, or being without him in my future. I wanted to grow old with him. Is that you and your BF? What behaviors does he exhibit that remind you of your parents rocky ending? If you can not see your life with him, the two of you need to deal with these commitment issues or just enjoy your life together while it lasts. You did not say whether your relationship is a Christ centered one where there is no hanky and panky, because that truly bring up another issue as to why the matter is plaguing you. Since you did not bring it up, nor will I. My best to you.
  12. I think that first of all we should stop blaming the devil for people's carnal behaviors and believe the word. The scripture declares in James 4: 1-4 1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of "your" lusts that war in "your" members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Bottom line is that the wars are coming from us, and our desires. We desire to have what somebody else has to consume it on us,and we are willing to fight to get it, and "pray" for it if we can't get it by the fight. Whether it is their gift or their intellect, or their clothing style, anointing, etc., etc., etc. Just so we can say we have it too. We ask for what they have and do not get it because we ask amiss to consume it on our lust/desires. We need to be transformed by the renewing of our minds and believe the word when we see ourselves in it. If we believe the word when we see fighting among believers we will know it comes from lust or desire. Somebody has something that somebody else wants. Period. That starts the war according to scripture. It is already in us. We want to have and have not. We ask to have "it" and we don't get "it" because we only asked because they had it. Let's face it we need to call a spade a spade and maybe people will examine themselves and correct their unregenerated behaviors by the word of Yah (God). Let's keep it real.
