THE HOUSE OF YAH, COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!

[Mercy_Grace]

Testimony
For the past two weeks I ‘ve faithfully been praying in the name of Yahshua ,Not the name of “Jesus�.
Ending every prayer to my heavenly Father In the Name of Yahshua .Also calling on Yahshua and talking to him calling him Yahshua ,because in the past i’ve always called him jesus ..And so now calling him Yahshua , you know carrying on a conversation with my best friend & beloved brother in Father God, like I have always done in the past 30 something years .

Like before two weeks ago I knew the real name of my savor was Yahshua but really never gave it much thought and from time to time use that name, untill two weeks ago I felt the urge to really faithfully use the name of Yahshua and I would pray and allow the holy Spirit to give me a deeper revelation understanding of that name.
Some things have changed within me personally.
Example -I’m seeing in the word of God more with clarity!
And understanding has increased,
I know without a doubt the precious Holy Spirit is teaching me and showing me some things in the word that’s perhaps been hidden and Mysteries to me , because I wasn’t ready for them until now,,and he knows what I’m able to handle in my life time here on this earth and in him as well.
And its been my hearts cry and desire to know Him more and more !

Two weeks ago as this all started for me personally , I began feeling nauseated to my stomach,
and all I could think about was the precious name of Yahshua and how all my new born days of 30 something years , People have prayed for me in the name of Jesus , and I’ve heard people preach and teach in the name of Jesus ,and the more I thought about it , the more I became nausea.
No Doubt about it , there was a spiritual purging taking place in me, I honestly believe that all the false religion and all the Charismatic Witchcraft that has effected and hindered my Spiritual Journey with the Real Yahshua the Messiah the son of father God YHWH ,Was being taking out of me, I was being delivered, HalleluYAH !!


I was saved and baptized in water 30 something years ago and 20 years baptized in the Holy Spirit ,understand I called on jesus , but the most imported matter was I believed that the son of God came so that I could be saved , and became a child of God ,and his son became my Lord and savor, I believed I was saved back then and I believe I am saved today.
Although being baptized in water in the name of Jesus does not seem right to me now. I’m going to be baptized again only this time as I’m being baptized in water it will be in the precious name of the son Yahshua and the Father YHWH and the Holy Spirit !
I honestly feel I should do it this way ! The right Way ! Because He Yahshua is the Way ! Amen

I’m not changing over to Jewish Religion ,
I’m just becoming more intimate with my heavenly Father and Yahshua the Messiah my Lord and savor.And I honestly feel this honors the father very much , To Know his Real name and his precious son’s name .

Yah Bless you all.

What a great testimony.

I too found many new things being revealed to me once I started understanding and using the true name of YAH. Everyday I feel an excitment in my spirit. So does my wife. Whenever I talk to her about these things she gets a powerful witness in her spirit.

YAH is GREAT!

I mention in my last post above how I was going to be water baptized in water again,
And this time in the name of YHWH and Yahshua and the Holy Spirit ,,
I did go through with it a few weeks ago .

I cleaned my bathroom and tub and washed everything real good and filled up my bathtub and I sat there for a few minutes really focusing in on YHWH ,and I thought about all the years and time and effort I put forth in Knowing Him and how always its been my hearts desire to know Truth!
I thought about how difficult it was for me to change my tongue / language from saying Jesus to Yahshus and God to YHWH .
Yet it wouldn’t get away from me, to press on and press in and just do it !!

As here I sat in this tub of water I began to cry and pray and really press in to my heavenly Father...

I began to repent of all my sins and said I’m determined Father YHWH to be washed and cleaned of all my sins and today I’m determined to know you and to know truth from this day on ..
And to be Water Baptized in this tub of water in the Name of YHWH and I go under the water , I come back up , and I said , Water Baptized in the name of Yahshua , I go back under the water, I come back up and I said and water Baptized in the precious Holy Spirit, I go back under the water , and I come back up ,,,,,,,,Saying HalleluYah HalleluYAH ,

I sat there a few minutes and I kept hearing the words New Name , New Name ,
I began to pray in tongues for awhile and I still could hear the words New Name,
So I ask YHWH , what’s this I ‘m hearing about a New Name and what is the new name?

YHWH said to me Maayan , Maayan ,
I thought perhaps that’s a new name he is giving me, ?
I kept hearing it over and over and over again , I became very excited to get out of the tub to look it up , and I did , it means in Hebrew - Maayan ("Spring [of] water", or "fountain"
I thought HalleluYah Father thank you !!

Well as time went on after being baptized in water that day and receiving a new name from the father .... Some questions stated to come up about things , One as an example >was about Paul from the New Testament,,,
You’ll find that topic on this same forum , Under The Mystery Matrix ..

As of yesterday these questions concerning Paul have been laid to rest in my weary mind and soul and spirit once and for all about him,,,,,,,As to the reason of how this rest came about ,,, I will share something that happened yesterday ,,,,,
Not sure if it was a dream or a vison, it's just to real !
March 5, 2007
Note)>The past weeks and a half now everytime I say Yashua's name I see his face,
He has a Long White Beard And long White Hair and Bright Radiant Eyes..His skin looks very hard like stone, and the shape of his face in long and narrow, An Oval shape would be best to describe the shape of his face!
As I laid quietly upon my bed the time was 1:15 pm , I began to talk to Yahshua ,
And I seen him , I know within my Spirit and Heart that's him My beloved Yahshua !!
Everything went in the color of pure white around us,,it's hard to explain really,, I thought later perhaps I was taking up into the clouds ,I do not know for sure, it seem to be so real to be a dream or vision,,but anyway
This time not only did I see his face , I seen him upon his white horse faithful and true ,
Yahshua said come on up and ride with him ,As stood there trying to make up my mind if I should climb on and sit on the back or sit in front of him, I thought I really want to ride in front so that I could hear him better if he had something to say .........
Yahshua grabbed my arm and pulled me up and I sat in front of him and it just seem at that moment like that was the right place to sit ,, and he told me to lean back against his chest ,,So I did , and My head was against his right shoulder,
Faithful and True began to walk slowly and I could hear My beloved Yahshua voice very softly talking to me,
Yahshua said you heard right the first time what I told you about Saul who's name was changed to Paul,
It wasn't me that talked to Saul ,,It was Satan who fell from the sky as lightening to speak to Saul,
I'm very proud of you for allowing me to show and tell you these things and you believe ..
Yahshua began to describe to me what Matthew, Mark , Luke and John and Timothy, Peter and James, looked like and as he named each one ,I seen a slight glimpse of each face...As Yahshua was talking to me about each one I felt such love and compassion he had for each one but yet all the same ! Yahshua voice remain very softly !
Yahshua said, you must not be afraid to speak what you have heard and learned ,
The next thing that happen ,I could hear pops calling my name , and I jumped up and pop said its 2:30 ,,I got up and went into the kitchen and I was like ,,,,I know I didn't fall asleep pop, it feels like I had just laid down for 5 minutes ago ,,,LOL ,,and I thought about Yahshua and what just happened a few minutes earlier and I felt kinda sad to have to leave Yahshua as he was talking to me.
From that experience I know and I believe with all “ all� that’s within me what I’ve learned about Saul//Paul is a fact and truth and Yahshua just made sure that I realized it !
Praise Yahshua !!
Today right now as I am typing this out , I’m hearing by the Spirit , For all those who belong to Him YHWH are all Spiritually Israel ,Who has been grafted into the true Vine of The Beloved Yahshua ,
HalleluYAH !!!!

Shalom And Yah Bless !

-------------------------------------------------------------

Edited to Add note here on March 7 ,2007 ,,,
That’s what its all about RELATIONSHIP with Yahshua , He can come to us anytime, anywhere!
He wants that kind of relationship with us more than anything!
Example >Its kinda like my relationship with my earthly Brother and Pop.
They know me and I know them and still we love one another just the same.
Love Unconditional, I can be myself ,and they can be their self.
Although I didn’t have a mom growing up , I’m very bless having a earthly Dad ,and because I was raised by my earthly Dad , I understand the Love a Dad has for his children, and believe me there have been times I have went to the woodshed ! And just like My Heavenly Father chastened me many of times because he loves me !
And Much More so I understand My heavenly Father Loves me and all His children ,
And I’m thankful for that ! Abba Father doesn’t treat me like I’m adopted child or a step child or a foster child ,,I have a revelation of his pure unconditional love as his child, and I have the revelation of what it means to be grafted into the true vine by his beloved son Yahshua I’m Family of YHWH , HalleuYAH .Yahshua is my elder Brother and Savor and King ! HalleluYAH !
There is no fear, there is no doubt , He loves Me !! So I’m very comfortable being myself with him,, Because he knows me better than i know myself anyways , I don’t have to do anything to impress him ..Just be REAL ! And because he Knows without any doubt I love him he can be himself and come simple as my best friend and brother and king and spend time with me he knows he is always welcomed and the door is opened and I’ll even leave a light on for him !
And I would climb back on that Horse anytime and ride with Yahshua ..and you know soon and very soon we’ll all be riding with him !And we’ll say YES YAH !! We will ride !!
So rise up Warriors of The Way - Yahshua ,,,and get ready !and be true be real to who you are in Yahshua The Messiah The Anointed One, Amen & Amen !

Shalom & Yah Bless !!

(Mikveh (Baptism) ( status change )

Is Water Baptism a New Testament Invention?
By Darryll Watson

When we think of rituals, most of us think of the ordinances that were given to Israel in the Old Testament. Most believers today consider that "rituals" are a thing of the past and have been rendered useless and unnecessary by the sacrifice of Yahshua.

It may come as a surprise to some when we consider just how many "rituals" we participate in (and rightly so) today. Ritual is defined as "a strictly ordered traditional method of conducting an act of worship…"

(The New Lexicon Webster’s Dictionary of the English Language). Would anyone care to deny that they perform rituals in keeping the Sabbath, appointed Feast of YHWH or in worshipping in general? Did Yahshua advocate or approve of "ritual" in prayer and other acts of worship? Fasting, by the way, is a ritual! So is a worship service that follows a fairly consistent pattern. So is baptism! If any ritual is followed because the doer believes he/she will gain salvation by doing the "ritual," this is a mistake. However, rituals are part of prescribed and expected behavior that is pleasing to YHWH.

Now consider the ritual of baptism. Is it a New Covenant invention? Perhaps many will see the "washings" ritual as a forerunner of baptism. Leviticus 14 gives an account of a common "washing" ritual, that of cleansing lepers. After offering certain sacrifices and being sprinkled seven times with the water of purification, then the cleansed leper was to wash his clothes and wash himself (Hebrew--rachats - wash or bathe) as specified in verse 8. In 2 Kings 5, a gentile named Naaman was sent to the prophet Elisha to be cured of his leprosy. Elisha’s instructions include a "washing" ritual which Naaman thought to be silly at first. But he was persuaded by his servant that since it was simple enough to "dip" himself seven times in the Jordan River," it was at least worth a try. In giving this instruction, Elisha seems to have combined the "sprinkling seven times" with the "washing" itself. None-the-less, it is clear what for this "washing" took—an immersion (read verses ten through fourteen).

Likewise, it is common knowledge that the "washing" the priest performed in purifying himself for temple service (such as that prescribed in Leviticus 16:4 for Atonement service) took the form of an immersion (Hebrew—mikveh). In fact, so common was this "ritual bathe" (mikveh), that below the temple mount in Jerusalem there was built a "bath house" with many of these ritual pools where pilgrims could stop for purification on their way to temple services. In 1994 I was privileged to be in Israel for the Feast of Tabernacles and saw the evidence of these mikvot in the excavations below the temple mount as well as in the excavated ruins of Qumran and Masada.
Perhaps the best and most famous "baptism" of all was the great flood of Genesis. Think about what this entailed…

The total immersion of the world and the "washing away" of all that was evil. So vile had the society of man become that a drastic change was called for. Read and think about the events of the flood in Genesis the seventh chapter. The imagery of what is taking place in the "drowning" of all the wickedness is the same as what happens (or rather is supposed to happen) for the person undergoing "baptism."

Many have been long familiar with the "baptism" or immersion imagery of the Israelites coming through the Red Sea with the walls of water on either side of them. "Moreover, brothers, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea…" 1 Corinthians 10:1-2. But, what is the connection with "under the cloud," "in the sea" and baptism?

Many would not know that immersion has long been practiced in Judaism for the purpose of initiating new converts called proselytes. In the entry "PROSELYTES" under the article titled "Laws of Conversion" in the CD edition of Encyclopedia Judaica, we find these statements:

"The procedure… according to which a non-Jew may be accepted into the Jewish faith… (he) had to sacrifice a burnt offering either of cattle or two young pigeons (until sacrifices were no longer offered; after which)… only circumcision and immersion remained."

There arose disputes as to "whether someone who immersed himself but was not circumcised or vice versa could be considered a proselyte." The procedure ordinarily had to be witnessed by three and a similar dispute rose up as to whether "a proselyte who immersed himself in the presence of two members only" could be accepted. One school said he could be accepted and another said he couldn’t. The point, of course, is that immersion was an important "ritual" in initiating new converts.

Immersion (baptiso in the Greek, t’vilah in Hebrew) had deep and profound meaning to the Hebrew people. It is not some giant leap from a mikveh to immersion either. When Yahweh created in Genesis, the Hebrew word for "gathering the waters" was from this Hebrew word mikveh (Genesis 1:9). The place where the "water was gathered" for the Israelites to follow Yahweh’s purification instructions came to be known as a "mikveh." The concept of immersion in the Hebrew word "t’vilah" appears unmistakably in Exodus 15:4 where Pharaoh and his host were drowned (t’vilah) in the sea. In Psalm 9:16 and Lamentations 2:9, the same Hebrew word is used and translated as "sunk." No mistaking the concept of immersion. The Hebrew people connected the washings and purification rites to this immersion and with the following ideas in mind:

(1) immersion in the mikveh symbolized the grave—man cannot survive immersed completely in water indefinitely; he enters a state of non-breathing. When he emerges from the water’s depths, it is as if he is re-born.

(2) It symbolized the womb—whn Yahweh hovered over the waters in Genesis, rabbinical understanding was that He impregnated the waters and the creation was birthed from thence. Job 38:29, 30 shows the basis for this imagery. So, when man goes down into the waters of the mikveh, it is as if he is in a womb and when he come up out of the waters, it is as if he is birthed from the womb.

(3) It symbolized a change of status—from death to life, from non-living to rebirth!

Now, consider: what would the people coming in view of John the Immerser have thought if John was doing something brand new? Would we not have some indication in the historical accounts that this man was instituting new rituals?

But there is no indication in the gospels or in any other historical accounts that the "wild man" from the wilderness was instituting new rituals. His "audiences" were well familiar with the rituals being performed in the Jordan. Along comes Yahshua and instead of questioning John’s rituals, He joins right in.

And later, we find His diciples who were with Him baptizing (John 4:1-2). And, is it any wonder that Yahshua took Nicodemus to task for not understanding in His discussion about "rebirth" and "coming out of the womb" because Nicodemus, as a ruler and a teacher of the people "should have understood" the imagery?

And Paul’s discussions of baptism such as in Romans 6 about "being buried in baptism and raised" as if from the dead to be transformed? Does this not show the depth of the understanding of those taught in the way of life of the Hebrew "religion?" Check out Ephesians 2:1-6 where Paul talks about this "change of status" from death to life; 2 Corinthians 5:17 where Paul describes us as "becoming a new creation;" Galatians 4:7 where Paul describes conversion as a change from "a slave to son/heir" of Elohim; 1 Peter 2:9-10 where Peter describes this process as a change from "darkness to light." These are not some brand "New Testament" thoughts!

Now read Jeremiah 14:8. "O, the hope (the Hebrew word here is mikveh) of Israel, the Savior thereof in time of trouble…" Did you get that? Is it not fitting that we are buried in our Mikveh in the ritual of baptism and come up out of that watery grave in HOPE? Is that just coincidence? All the symbolism of the Hebrew worship system is valid. The ritual of baptism will not save us, but who among us will teach that is it "just a ritual" to cast aside? It’s an important ritual that teaches a physical being some profound lessons affecting his relationship with his Savior and his Mighty One.
Let us be glad and rejoice and appreciate what our Mikveh (Baptism) means to us.
