John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

2 Chronicles 7:8Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
This post is kind of a personal and controversial one to a multitude of people. After reaching my mid 30’s I found out exactly who I am according to the BIBLE (the history book of true Israel). No this is not a conspiracy theory but truth, finally! I always thought that I was a Gentile when I was in religion, I had no Biblical wisdom/knowledge/understanding. I was lost and blind, listening to Pastors and Ministers while paying tithes and following all the normal church protocol. I was trained in thinking that I would upset my Heavenly Father if I didn’t contribute to the Kingdom with money and obedience. But then one day I cried out, asking the Father what was His name and how was I supposed to maintain a relationship with a Creator who had no name for me to call upon. We read all the time in scripture “call upon my name” but if we don’t know his name are we then out of order? Who is actually getting the praise, honor and worship? Well to make a long story short, the Most High started revealing Himself to me little by little. I am desperate and thirsty to know more about Him still, spending many days finding ways to get closer to Him by following His laws, statutes and commandments plus loving on His people. Through Yah (one of the names I call Him) I also started to understand who His Son the Messiah is, more than just a man that died on a tree/ cross/Calvary for my iniquity or and transgressions. Not only did I find out that our Lamb of God has been there in Genesis from the beginning of time but I also found out that He has brown skin just like me, which is in scripture and a personal motivation. I didn’t see it before because I was reading the word through the eyes of the people that taught me religiously, who didn’t want me to see the whole truth due to their restrictions to receive 501(C)(3)’s. And now that I know who I am and who He is…who is that man in many pictures on the cross that we call Jesus? Whomever he is, he is not who the scriptures call “Salvation” in my spiritual history book.
With the rise in homeschooling across the country many individuals
wonder what the motivating factor behind homeschooling is. There are many
motivating factors but one of the most popular is for religious reasons. The
vast majority of individuals homeschooling for religious reasons are doing so
to teach their children Christian-like values and principles. However, there
has been a rise in Muslim families homeschooling for religious reasons also.
The same goes for Jews and other religions as well.
Homeschooling for religious reasons was responded by approximately
33% of the families across the nation for the main reason they homeschool. It
really is a good reason for those families who want to raise their children
with certain morals, values and respect which isn’t being done in the public
school system. Religion is not allowed in that particular public forum and many
children don’t or won’t have any religious background whatsoever. They can be a
bad influence on other children who are being raised with a certain faith,
bully them and challenge their faith.
While religious adults must deal with this all the time in the
work place, etc., children rebel against religion frequently if they feel it is
what causes them to not be received or even popular. Because of this many
parents choose to raise their children in a controlled environment. They know
what their children are learning and who they are learning it from matters.
Parents aren’t concerned about their children being influenced negatively or
experiencing ungodly things from other children at a public school because
their child is at home. Additionally, parents have control over social
situations and interactions. This means that they can help their child choose
Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc., friends that are like minded.
Raising children is certainly a challenge and trying to raise
children within a certain structure can be even more challenging. However, it
is certainly possible with a little dedication from the parents and the child.
Of course, children will still rebel and do sometimes do inappropriate things
because that is the nature of learning discipline and boundaries but parents have
much more control over their children and what they are learning than if they
were in a public school atmosphere/system.
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God
blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose
up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten
thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand:
and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the
congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,
Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his
hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy
holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at
the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen
him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for
they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of
his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them
that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of
the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him
all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be
his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and
for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for
the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness
thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was
separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his
horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people
together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going
out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they
shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance
of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he
dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there,
in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with
Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap
from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with
favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and
the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children;
let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so
shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth
upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall
say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of
Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down
dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who
is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and
who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto
thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Many of us believe that grace over-rules law but that is an incorrect belief system which is usually taught in Christianity. Although Paul made the statement about being under grace (Romans 6:15), please understand that he was assuming that the law was already being kept/followed! No law = No grace and it’s that simple…The Most High is not the Author of confusion and His burden is light. We are to keep His commandments and in doing so, grace and mercy will be given to you. At the end of the day let us all humble ourselves to remember that man does not override our Father in Heaven regardless of their status (God gives and He takes away). Pay attention to who is teaching you because lawless people are dangerous people.

Psalm 23 (KJV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

repentance.

unto him.

Psalm 51 (KJV)
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever
before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil
in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear
when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall
be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth
thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the
walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they
offer bullocks upon thine altar.
