The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When you take a census of the Israelite people according to their enrollment, each shall pay the Lord a ransom for himself on being enrolled, that no plague may come upon them through their being enrolled. This is what everyone who is entered in the records shall pay: a half-shekel by the sanctuary weight--twenty gerahs to the shekel--a half-shekel as an offering to the Lord. Everyone who is entered in the records, from the age of twenty years up, shall give the Lord's offering: the rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than half a shekel when giving the Lord's offering as expiation for your persons. You shall take the expiation money from the Israelites and assign it to the service of the Tent of Meeting; it shall serve the Israelites as a reminder before the Lord, as expiation for your persons.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Make a laver of copper and a stand of copper for it, for washing; and place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Put water in it, and let Aaron and his sons wash their hands and feet [in water drawn] from it. When they enter the Tent of Meeting they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they approach the altar to serve, to turn into smoke an offering by fire to the Lord, they shall wash their hands and feet, that they may not die. It shall be a law for all time for them--for him and his offspring--throughout the ages. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Next take choice spices: five hundred weight of solidified myrrh, half as much--two hundred and fifty--of fragrant cinnamon, two hundred and fifty of aromatic cane, five hundred--by the sanctuary weight--of cassia, and a hin of olive oil. Make of this a sacred anointing oil, a compound of ingredients expertly blended, to serve as sacred anointing oil. With it anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Pact, the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and all its fittings, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. Thus you shall consecrate them so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be consecrated. You shall also anoint Aaron and his sons, consecrating them to serve Me as priests.

And speak to the Israelite people, as follows: This shall be an anointing oil sacred to Me throughout the ages. It must not be rubbed on any person's body, and you must not make anything like it in the same proportions; it is sacred, to be held sacred by you. Whoever compounds its like, or puts any of it on a layman, shall be cut off from his kin. And the Lord said to Moses: Take the herbs stacte, onycha, and galbanum--these herbs together with pure frankincense; let there be an equal part of each. Make them into incense, a compound expertly blended, refined, pure, sacred. Beat some of it into powder, and put some before the Pact in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. But when you make this incense, you must not make any in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be held by you sacred to the Lord. Whoever makes any like it, to smell of it, shall be cut off from his kin.

The Lord spoke to Moses: See, I have singled out by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have endowed him with a divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge in every kind of craft; to make designs for work in gold, silver, and copper, to cut stones for setting and to carve wood--to work in every kind of craft. Moreover, I have assigned to him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have also granted skill to all who are skillful, that they may make everything that I have commanded you: the Tent of Meeting, the Ark for the Pact and the cover upon it, and all the furnishings of the Tent; the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand and all its fittings, and the altar of incense; the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand; the service vestments, the sacral vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons, for their service as priests; as well as the anointing oil and the aromatic incense for the sanctuary. Just as I have commanded you, they shall do.
And the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the Israelite people and say: Nevertheless, you must keep My sabbaths, for this is a sign between Me and you throughout the ages, that you may know that I the Lord have consecrated you. You shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy for you. He who profanes it shall be put to death: whoever does work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his kin. Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does work on the sabbath day shall be put to death. The Israelite people shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout the ages as a covenant for all time: it shall be a sign for all time between Me and the people of Israel. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and was refreshed.

When He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the Pact, stone tablets inscribed with the finger of God. When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered against Aaron and said to him, "Come, make us a god who shall go before us, for that man Moses, who brought us from the land of Egypt--we do not know what has happened to him." Aaron said to them, "Take off the gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." And all the people took off the gold rings that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. This he took from them and cast in a mold, and made it into a molten calf. And they exclaimed, "This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!" When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron announced: "Tomorrow shall be a festival of the Lord!" Early next day, the people offered up burnt offerings and brought sacrifices of well-being; they sat down to eat and drink, and then rose to dance. The Lord spoke to Moses, "Hurry down, for your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, have acted basely. They have been quick to turn aside from the way that I enjoined upon them. They have made themselves a molten calf and bowed low to it and sacrificed to it, saying: 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!'"

The Lord further said to Moses, "I see that this is a stiffnecked people. Now, let Me be, that My anger may blaze forth against them and that I may destroy them, and make of you a great nation." But Moses implored the Lord his God, saying, "Let not Your anger, O Lord, blaze forth against Your people, whom You delivered from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand. Let not the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that He delivered them, only to kill them off in the mountains and annihilate them from the face of the earth.' Turn from Your blazing anger, and renounce the plan to punish Your people. Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, how You swore to them by Your Self and said to them: I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and I will give to your offspring this whole land of which I spoke, to possess forever." And the Lord renounced the punishment He had planned to bring upon His people. Thereupon Moses turned and went down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, tablets inscribed on both their surfaces: they were inscribed on the one side and on the other. The tablets were God's work, and the writing was God's writing, incised upon the tablets. When Joshua heard the sound of the people in its boisterousness, he said to Moses, "There is a cry of war in the camp." But he answered,

"It is not the sound of the tune of triumph,
Or the sound of the tune of defeat;
It is the sound of song that I hear!"

As soon as Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he became enraged; and he hurled the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain. He took the calf that they had made and burned it; he ground it to powder and strewed it upon the water and so made the Israelites drink it. Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought such great sin upon them?" Aaron said, "Let not my lord be enraged. You know that this people is bent on evil. They said to me, 'Make us a god to lead us; for that man Moses, who brought us from the land of Egypt--we do not know what has happened to him.' So I said to them, 'Whoever has gold, take it off!' They gave it to me and I hurled it into the fire and out came this calf!" Moses saw that the people were out of control--since Aaron had let them get out of control--so that they were a menace to any who might oppose them. Moses stood up in the gate of the camp and said, "Whoever is for the Lord, come here!" And all the Levites rallied to him. He said to them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Each of you put sword on thigh, go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay brother, neighbor, and kin." The Levites did as Moses had bidden; and some three thousand of the people fell that day. And Moses said, "Dedicate yourselves to the Lord this day--for each of you has been against son and brother--that He may bestow a blessing upon you today."

The next day Moses said to the people, "You have been guilty of a great sin. Yet I will now go up to the Lord; perhaps I may win forgiveness for your sin." Moses went back to the Lord and said, "Alas, this people is guilty of a great sin in making for themselves a god of gold. Now, if You will forgive their sin [well and good]; but if not, erase me from the record which You have written!" But the Lord said to Moses, "He who has sinned against Me, him only will I erase from My record. Go now, lead the people where I told you. See, My angel shall go before you. But when I make an accounting, I will bring them to account for their sins." Then the Lord sent a plague upon the people, for what they did with the calf that Aaron made. Then the Lord said to Moses, "Set out from here, you and the people that you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your offspring will I give it'--I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites--a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go in your midst, since you are a stiffnecked people, lest I destroy you on the way."

When the people heard this harsh word, they went into mourning, and none put on his finery. The Lord said to Moses, "Say to the Israelite people, 'You are a stiffnecked people. If I were to go in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now, then, leave off your finery, and I will consider what to do to you.'" So the Israelites remained stripped of the finery from Mount Horeb on. Now Moses would take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, at some distance from the camp. It was called the Tent of Meeting, and whoever sought the Lord would go out to the Tent of Meeting that was outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he had entered the Tent. And when Moses entered the Tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the Tent, while He spoke with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud poised at the entrance of the Tent, all the people would rise and bow low, each at the entrance of his tent. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one man speaks to another. And he would then return to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua son of Nun, a youth, would not stir out of the Tent.

Moses said to the Lord, "See, You say to me, 'Lead this people forward,' but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, 'I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed, gained My favor.' Now, if I have truly gained Your favor, pray let me know Your ways, that I may know You and continue in Your favor. Consider, too, that this nation is Your people." And He said, "I will go in the lead and will lighten your burden." And he said to Him, "Unless You go in the lead, do not make us leave this place. For how shall it be known that Your people have gained Your favor unless You go with us, so that we may be distinguished, Your people and I, from every people on the face of the earth?" And the Lord said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name." He said, "Oh, let me behold Your Presence!" And He answered, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim before you the name Lord, and the grace that I grant and the compassion that I show. But," He said, "you cannot see My face, for man may not see Me and live." And the Lord said, "See, there is a place near Me. Station yourself on the rock and, as My Presence passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and shield you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen." The Lord said to Moses: "Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and I will inscribe upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered. Be ready by morning, and in the morning come up to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to Me, on the top of the mountain. No one else shall come up with you, and no one else shall be seen anywhere on the mountain; neither shall the flocks and the herds graze at the foot of this mountain."

So Moses carved two tablets of stone, like the first, and early in the morning he went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets with him. The Lord came down in a cloud; He stood with him there, and proclaimed the name Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed: "The Lord! the Lord! a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He does not remit all punishment, but visits the iniquity of parents upon children and children's children, upon the third and fourth generations."
Moses hastened to bow low to the ground in homage, and said, "If I have gained Your favor, O Lord, pray, let the Lord go in our midst, even though this is a stiffnecked people. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your own!" He said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will work such wonders as have not been wrought on all the earth or in any nation; and all the people who are with you shall see how awesome are the Lord's deeds which I will perform for you. Mark well what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Beware of making a covenant with the inhabitants of the land against which you are advancing, lest they be a snare in your midst. No, you must tear down their altars, smash their pillars, and cut down their sacred posts; for you must not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Impassioned, is an impassioned God. You must not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they will lust after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and invite you, and you will eat of their sacrifices. And when you take wives from among their daughters for your sons, their daughters will lust after their gods and will cause your sons to lust after their gods.

You shall not make molten gods for yourselves. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread--eating unleavened bread for seven days, as I have commanded you--at the set time of the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you went forth from Egypt. Every first issue of the womb is Mine, from all your livestock that drop a male as firstling, whether cattle or sheep. But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. And you must redeem every first-born among your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed. Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor; you shall cease from labor even at plowing time and harvest time. You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of the wheat harvest; and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. I will drive out nations from your path and enlarge your territory; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times a year. You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened; and the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover shall not be left lying until morning. The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. And the Lord said to Moses: Write down these commandments, for in accordance with these commandments I make a covenant with you and with Israel.

And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water; and he wrote down on the tablets the terms of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with Him. Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses' face was radiant; and they shrank from coming near him. But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the chieftains in the assembly returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he instructed them concerning all that the Lord had imparted to him on Mount Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. Whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would leave the veil off until he came out; and when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see how radiant the skin of Moses' face was. Moses would then put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him.

Matthew 10:22

22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. ²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. ²⁴The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. ²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace,(Feb 17th)

Tomorrow is not a normal Monday, most just see that the mail does not run but to the homeless it is a blow as the places they go in the daytime are closed. So we will be open tomorrow. We put Grandma's van together and mom drove it home. It seems to be running okay but we will drive it back to Wichita tomorrow and use it for the next few days while I have a backup loaner vehicle. Even so we can only use grandma's van until the tag expires in a month.The Other van my 1989 van would take $750 to $850 for a crate motor, plus labor if no problem arise working on it $500 to $700 (they have to take the whole front clip off to change motors) hoses, oil etc. roughly would take the whole thing up to $2000 or more. Yes they van would then be dependable I would suppose but that much money in a 1989 van? It could be the best I deal?, right now I am leaving it up to what the Father places on others hearts as that is how this ministry works.  

I just know I need something that can carry at least 6 passengers with bags etc plus myself. We have thought many times about buying a van that has like bus seats in it. We would always just leave it in Wichita and drive the people around with it. Also with bus seats I would not have to make sure everyone has their seat belts on. I just need something to carry the people. While a mini-van is cheaper on gas the used one have never lasted long and most are not big enough for people and back packs etc.

 

You know I can generally tell when a blessing or change in the ministry is coming by how large of attacks on the ministry by evil. As of late I have been hit with some really stupid attacks by email from viruses to slander. When people cannot attack the message they attack the messenger. I am even now being questioned again from people about R. G. Stair.  Donations always seem to also hit lows when a blessing is about to come. So I believe we are about to have a large break though. I have been trying to get my strength back up from the operation as well as get over a virus which settled in my chest, in fact it is still making it's rounds among our family and the family that helps us. 

Remember I do not agree with everything everyone says that are guests, they are just like pns for research and for you to take to prayer yourself. Yes we plan on having Andrew Strom back on and would like your input about the program with him. He is coming back on I think March 6^th. No I do not know who I will have on this week I am looking for a guest. I am having on Jonathan Hanson on   February 28 and March 13. And I just got an email from Andrew it looks like the 6^th is on. Anyway pray for us, you know once someone told me that they thought a person did not need to get prayers from others? Well it is Biblical as that is what intercessor are form and we are told to pray one for another. anyway lift us in prayer and help if you can. (Feb.18)

Greetings Saints,I am about ready to open as we stayed all night here rather than drive back and forth. We will go hope tonight ahead of teh big storm moving in with rain and ice. I am going to give back the borrowed suburban vehicle today and trust driving Grandma's old van for the next month, all teh time pryaing it is shorter as the starter is hot wired.

 Pastor Roberts http://www.yahwehsword.org/yahwehs-pentecost.htm has offered us a van. It is1985 GMC-85,000 original miles on it, You can see his web site by clicking the link above. he is going to place new tires on for us. But I have to go to Victory Commuity in SC to get it. That is about 17 hours away. This van will last us a long time and it's funny the last van came from West Virgina and we had to do the same thing drive down and get it. So that means a rental car. We are now asking that you all take it to prayer so we can go get this van ASAP. Pray about a donation for the trip. Pastor Roberts is giving us $300 to help for the trip back.

 

You know it always happens this way, I think the Father will provide one way and he uses another. So again please take thsi to prayer. Also this one is a 1985 and our last one was the same thing only a 1989! Shalom, Pastor Dan

The LORD  bless thee and keep thee; The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee;
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee shalom. (peace)

Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Guess What I had a really nice update typed and it disappeared I Love my computer! NOT!!!!!

It is very late and I have to be up at 7:30 for a field trip before we feed so i am cutting this one very short.  The bills have all been paid but about 750.00 for February. The Radio is paid and the newsletter will go out today. The Mission was stocked and some cold meds bought but the need for pain meds is high. We also need socks and Tshirts of all sizes.

 

Pleas pray about helping in these many works Yahweh will supply the every need but He uses his People to do it so will you allow Him to use you in supporting these works. Pray about it and be lead By Him to Do His Will.

 

More on Messiah's Branch next update:

Philipians 4:13

 

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

Next weeks readings are  Ki Tisa "when you elevate" Exoduse 30:11-34:35 Haftarah 1 Kings 18:1-39 & & Brit Hadashah 1 Corinthians 8:4-13

You shall further instruct the Israelites to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly. Aaron and his sons shall set them up in the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain which is over [the Ark of] the Pact, [to burn] from evening to morning before the Lord. It shall be a due from the Israelites for all time, throughout the ages. You shall bring forward your brother Aaron, with his sons, from among the Israelites, to serve Me as priests: Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron. Make sacral vestments for your brother Aaron, for dignity and adornment. Next you shall instruct all who are skillful, whom I have endowed with the gift of skill, to make Aaron's vestments, for consecrating him to serve Me as priest. These are the vestments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a fringed tunic, a headdress, and a sash. They shall make those sacral vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, for priestly service to Me; they, therefore, shall receive the gold, the blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and the fine linen.

They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen, worked into designs. It shall have two shoulder-pieces attached; they shall be attached at its two ends. And the decorated band that is upon it shall be made like it, of one piece with it: of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen. Then take two lazuli stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel: six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, in the order of their birth. On the two stones you shall make seal engravings--the work of a lapidary--of the names of the sons of Israel. Having bordered them with frames of gold, attach the two stones to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones for remembrance of the Israelite people, whose names Aaron shall carry upon his two shoulder-pieces for remembrance before the Lord. Then make frames of gold and two chains of pure gold; braid these like corded work, and fasten the corded chains to the frames. You shall make a breastpiece of decision, worked into a design; make it in the style of the ephod: make it of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen. It shall be square and doubled, a span in length and a span in width. Set in it mounted stones, in four rows of stones. The first row shall be a row of carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald; the second row: a turquoise, a sapphire, and an amethyst; the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and a crystal; and the fourth row: a beryl, a lapis lazuli, and a jasper. They shall be framed with gold in their mountings. The stones shall correspond [in number] to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, corresponding to their names. They shall be engraved like seals, each with its name, for the twelve tribes. On the breastpiece make braided chains of corded work in pure gold. Make two rings of gold on the breastpiece, and fasten the two rings at the two ends of the breastpiece, attaching the two golden cords to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. Then fasten the two ends of the cords to the two frames, which you shall attach to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at the front. Make two rings of gold and attach them to the two ends of the breastpiece, at its inner edge, which faces the ephod. And make two other rings of gold and fasten them on the front of the ephod, low on the two shoulder-pieces, close to its seam above the decorated band. The breastpiece shall be held in place by a cord of blue from its rings to the rings of the ephod, so that the breastpiece rests on the decorated band and does not come loose from the ephod. Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastpiece of decision over his heart, when he enters the sanctuary, for remembrance before the Lord at all times. Inside the breastpiece of decision you shall place the Urim and Thummim, so that they are over Aaron's heart when he comes before the Lord. Thus Aaron shall carry the instrument of decision for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord at all times. You shall make the robe of the ephod of pure blue. The opening for the head shall be in the middle of it; the opening shall have a binding of woven work round about--it shall be like the opening of a coat of mail--so that it does not tear. On its hem make pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, all around the hem, with bells of gold between them all around: a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe. Aaron shall wear it while officiating, so that the sound of it is heard when he comes into the sanctuary before the Lord and when he goes out--that he may not die.

You shall make a frontlet of pure gold and engrave on it the seal inscription: "Holy to the Lord." Suspend it on a cord of blue, so that it may remain on the headdress; it shall remain on the front of the headdress. It shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may take away any sin arising from the holy things that the Israelites consecrate, from any of their sacred donations; it shall be on his forehead at all times, to win acceptance for them before the Lord.

You shall make the fringed tunic of fine linen.
You shall make the headdress of fine linen
You shall make the sash of embroidered work.

And for Aaron's sons also you shall make tunics, and make sashes for them, and make turbans for them, for dignity and adornment. Put these on your brother Aaron and on his sons as well; anoint them, and ordain them and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.
You shall also make for them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; they shall extend from the hips to the thighs. They shall be worn by Aaron and his sons when they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to officiate in the sanctuary, so that they do not incur punishment and die. It shall be a law for all time for him and for his offspring to come. This is what you shall do to them in consecrating them to serve Me as priests: Take a young bull of the herd and two rams without blemish; also unleavened bread, unleavened cakes with oil mixed in, and unleavened wafers spread with oil--make these of choice wheat flour. Place these in one basket and present them in the basket, along with the bull and the two rams. Lead Aaron and his sons up to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water. Then take the vestments, and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece, and gird him with the decorated band of the ephod. Put the headdress on his head, and place the holy diadem upon the headdress. Take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. Then bring his sons forward; clothe them with tunics and wind turbans upon them. And gird both Aaron and his sons with sashes. And so they shall have priesthood as their right for all time. You shall then ordain Aaron and his sons. Lead the bull up to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and let Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the head of the bull. Slaughter the bull before the Lord, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and take some of the bull's blood and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; then pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Take all the fat that covers the entrails, the protuberance on the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and turn them into smoke upon the altar. The rest of the flesh of the bull, its hide, and its dung shall be put to the fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering. Next take the one ram, and let Aaron and his sons lay their hands upon the ram's head. Slaughter the ram, and take its blood and dash it against all sides of the altar. Cut up the ram into sections, wash its entrails and legs, and put them with its quarters and its head. Turn all of the ram into smoke upon the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord, a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the Lord. You shall make an altar for burning incense; make it of acacia wood. It shall be a cubit long and a cubit wide--it shall be square--and two cubits high, its horns of one piece with it. Overlay it with pure gold: its top, its sides round about, and its horns; and make a gold molding for it round about. And make two gold rings for it under its molding; make them on its two side walls, on opposite sides. They shall serve as holders for poles with which to carry it. Make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

Place it in front of the curtain that is over the Ark of the Pact--in front of the cover that is over the Pact--where I will meet with you. On it Aaron shall burn aromatic incense: he shall burn it every morning when he tends the lamps, and Aaron shall burn it at twilight when he lights the lamps--a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout the ages. You shall not offer alien incense on it, or a burnt offering or a meal offering; neither shall you pour a libation on it. Once a year Aaron shall perform purification upon its horns with blood of the sin offering of purification; purification shall be performed upon it once a year throughout the ages. It is most holy to the Lord.

Mission Updates: Mark 9:23

²³ Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace,

 

 First radio this week we have Andrew Strom on with me talking about the economy crisis and how to be safe as well as judgments....Okay I have not gotten a response from my last real mission update about the van so I will tell you how yesterday went. With the van not drivable we remember my wife's brother Johnny had just been over a few days prior asking if I need the use of her mother van, you see grandma passed on last year and the van is just sitting. The title is too messed up to really retag not worth the trouble but it does have a month left on it. We retrieved it from her brother's lot on Monday night, it had to be jump-started but it drove home, Mom of course placed insurance on it. I had my son put the battery out of our van into before he left for work on Tuesday. Getting up thinking all was fine we got ready to go and of course the van would not start. Now mom's little car had almost a flat on it so it could not be driven so we had to try and get the van going, so I helped Tony change the batteries and still it did not work, but at the last moment Tony found a wire off and it started! The night before the heater fan was not working, so checking it I found a fuse gone, so I took the window fuse out and got the heater working, great lots of heat and it seemed to run okay off to Wichita. Getting there late many people were waiting on us as was Justin whose family has been helping almost since we opened the door on the new place. They have a really cool family and they are Messianic also. But Justin was there and said I could use his GMC truck, or suburban to pick the people up as the van was small and very cramped. I told him no I need to see how many people I could haul as I was going to have to use the van until The Father came through with something else or month which ever comes first. When I pulled up back at our place with the second load of people the van was over heated. So I then used his vehicle for 3 more trips. This meant the place was packed, as it normally is this time of month with plenty of new faces. I spent the day tending to various needs and visitors also trying to get parts for the van. Finally I opted for buying a fan motor, thermostat, and switch praying that it hoping it would be one of the three, not really having any extra money to spend on it especially when I can only drive it a month.  During the day I dealt with a man dying of cancer who is trying to get a bus ticket to a treatment center to try and save his life, without treatment he is dead, but I do not have the money for a bus ticket. I told another ministry about him and hooked them up but I am not sure what is going to a happen. With me if I had the $100 I would just buy the ticket and give him the change to eat on for the trip but I do not have a $100 in fact I my self am broke. I gave out medications and other items I had as well as blankets. Then it was well after dinner the van was not together and did not look like it would be put together with out some other help. Justin then offered for me to drive his vehicle home and bring it back on Friday. Great it runs good which made for a pleasant drive home and brought back memories of the suburban that we drove as a ministry vehicle after one was donated to us. I really like it but finally the trans went out. On the way home I stopped and checked the oil it was 4 quarts low! Wow! Anyway while we had use of it I took mom to Sam's club so she could pick up cups and other need items. In fact we ran out during supper but these wonderful people from another ministry went and got some cups. You know that is the way it is around Messiah's Branch when something is needed the Father has it there somehow some way. And we did have Torah study late but we had it Amen. So now when Friday comes I do not know if the little mini-van will fix so I can use it for a month. We are critical for a replacement van as I am very unsure about putting a new engine in a 1989 van. But I am open for however the Father fixes this situation as somehow we will of course get through it but we are in a terrible hardship. December was supposed to be the worst month for donations with people pulling up out of it and donating with income tax checks but that does not seem so right now. I have no money for the mail out newsletter and it needs to go out so the people on my list will know we need help or rather a van or something. So Really if you have never helped us please pray about it as we are in a crisis. We need transportation right now and dependable transportation.  If you are supporter then please pray about it and see what you can do or are led to we need an engine put in the old, van, or a vehicle donated or something like yesterday…..Again the preacher seems to be the poorest guy on the block

 

The LORD  bless thee and keep thee; The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee; The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace) Bemidbar (Numbers)  6:24-26

Shalom In Yeshua Messiah

 

It has been another very trying week for us with the van blowing up and then the loaner over heating and breaking down .  Yahweh is in control and we know He will Provide for His works. Friday Justin and Aaron helped the rest of the family were sick and were still running fevers on Tuesday. Justin made six dozen egg, cheese and lunchmeat sandwiches on Friday and seven on Tuesday. I made goulash, fried potatoes, green beans and buttered hot rolls Tuesday for dinner and right now I can't remember what I made last Friday. We had another ministry bring in care packs on Tuesday, they passed them out as we served dinner. I was able to get most of the bills paid that were is but now I have a gas bill that is 303.00 and the newsletter needs to go out Tuesday another 350.00 then I have around 700.00 left in Feb. bills that need to be paid. I did get 15.00 worth of cold meds and stocked the Mission that cost 202.00. Pleas pray about helping as we know Yahweh Provides but it ONLY through His People that will obey His voice that He is able to do that. Please add our transportation need to your prayers. I Must close for now because time is short and I have several things left to do before leaving to go feed. We love you all Keep us in Prayer Shalom sisterlinda/family & Messiah's Branch

This Weeks Torah Reading is

T'ruma "Offerings" Exodus 25:1-27:19

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Tell the Israelite people to bring Me gifts; you shall accept gifts for Me from every person whose heart so moves him. And these are the gifts that you shall accept from them: gold, silver, and copper; blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, goats' hair; tanned ram skins, dolphin skins, and acacia wood; oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense; lapis lazuli and other stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece. And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. Exactly as I show you--the pattern of the Tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings--so shall you make it. They shall make an ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold--overlay it inside and out--and make upon it a gold molding round about. Cast four gold rings for it, to be attached to its four feet, two rings on one of its side walls and two on the other. Make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold; then insert the poles into the rings on the side walls of the ark, for carrying the ark. The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark: they shall not be removed from it. And deposit in the Ark [the tablets of] the Pact which I will give you. You shall make a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. Make two cherubim of gold--make them of hammered work--at the two ends of the cover.

Make one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end; of one piece with the cover shall you make the cherubim at its two ends. The cherubim shall have their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. They shall confront each other, the faces of the cherubim being turned toward the cover. Place the cover on top of the Ark, after depositing inside the Ark the Pact that I will give you. There I will meet with you, and I will impart to you--from above the cover, from between the two cherubim that are on top of the Ark of the Pact--all that I will command you concerning the Israelite people. You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. Make a rim of a hand's breadth around it, and make a gold molding for its rim round about. Make four gold rings for it, and attach the rings to the four corners at its four legs. The rings shall be next to the rim, as holders for poles to carry the table. Make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold; by these the table shall be carried. Make its bowls, ladles, jars and jugs with which to offer libations; make them of pure gold. And on the table you shall set the bread of display, to be before Me always.

You shall make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be made of hammered work; its base and its shaft, its cups, calyxes, and petals shall be of one piece. Six branches shall issue from its sides; three branches from one side of the lampstand and three branches from the other side of the lampstand. On one branch there shall be three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, and on the next branch there shall be three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals; so for all six branches issuing from the lampstand. And on the lampstand itself there shall be four cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals: a calyx, of one piece with it, under a pair of branches; and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the second pair of branches, and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the last pair of branches; so for all six branches issuing from the lampstand. Their calyxes and their stems shall be of one piece with it, the whole of it a single hammered piece of pure gold. Make its seven lamps--the lamps shall be so mounted as to give the light on its front side--and its tongs and fire pans of pure gold. It shall be made, with all these furnishings, out of a talent of pure gold. 40 Note well, and follow the patterns for them that are being shown you on the mountain. As for the tabernacle, make it of ten strips of cloth; make these of fine twisted linen, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, with a design of cherubim worked into them. The length of each cloth shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each cloth shall be four cubits, all the cloths to have the same measurements.

Five of the cloths shall be joined to one another, and the other five cloths shall be joined to one another. Make loops of blue wool on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set; and do likewise on the edge of the outermost cloth of the other set: make fifty loops on the one cloth, and fifty loops on the edge of the end cloth of the other set, the loops to be opposite one another. And make fifty gold clasps, and couple the cloths to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle becomes one whole. You shall then make cloths of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make the cloths eleven in number. The length of each cloth shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each cloth shall be four cubits, the eleven cloths to have the same measurements. Join five of the cloths by themselves, and the other six cloths by themselves; and fold over the sixth cloth at the front of the tent. Make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the cloth of the other set. Make fifty copper clasps, and fit the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together so that it becomes one whole. As for the overlapping excess of the cloths of the tent, the extra half-cloth shall overlap the back of the tabernacle, while the extra cubit at either end of each length of tent cloth shall hang down to the bottom of the two sides of the Tabernacle and cover it. And make for the tent a covering of tanned ram skins, and a covering of dolphin skins above. You shall make the planks for the Tabernacle of acacia wood, upright. The length of each plank shall be ten cubits and the width of each plank a cubit and a half. Each plank shall have two tenons, parallel to each other; do the same with all the planks of the Tabernacle. Of the planks of the Tabernacle, make twenty planks on the south side: making forty silver sockets under the twenty planks, two sockets under the one plank for its two tenons and two sockets under each following plank for its two tenons; and for the other side wall of the Tabernacle, on the north side, twenty planks, with their forty silver sockets, two sockets under the one plank and two sockets under each following plank. And for the rear of the Tabernacle, to the west, make six planks; and make two planks for the corners of the Tabernacle at the rear. They shall match at the bottom, and terminate alike at the top inside one ring; thus shall it be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. Thus there shall be eight planks with their sockets of silver: sixteen sockets, two sockets under the first plank, and two sockets under each of the other planks.

You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the planks of the one side wall of the Tabernacle, five bars for the planks of the other side wall of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the planks of the wall of the Tabernacle at the rear to the west. The center bar halfway up the planks shall run from end to end. Overlay the planks with gold, and make their rings of gold, as holders for the bars; and overlay the bars with gold. Then set up the Tabernacle according to the manner of it that you were shown on the mountain. You shall make a curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen; it shall have a design of cherubim worked into it. Hang it upon four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and having hooks of gold, [set] in four sockets of silver. Hang the curtain under the clasps, and carry the Ark of the Pact there, behind the curtain, so that the curtain shall serve you as a partition between the Holy and the Holy of Holies. Place the cover upon the Ark of the Pact in the Holy of Holies. Place the table outside the curtain, and the lampstand by the south wall of the Tabernacle opposite the table, which is to be placed by the north wall. You shall make a screen for the entrance of the Tent, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, done in embroidery. Make five posts of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold--their hooks being of gold--and cast for them five sockets of copper.You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide--the altar is to be square--and three cubits high. Make its horns on the four corners, the horns to be of one piece with it; and overlay it with copper. Make the pails for removing its ashes, as well as its scrapers, basins, flesh hooks, and fire pans--make all its utensils of copper. Make for it a grating of meshwork in copper; and on the mesh make four copper rings at its four corners. Set the mesh below, under the ledge of the altar, so that it extends to the middle of the altar. And make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with copper. The poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles remain on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. Make it hollow, of boards. As you were shown on the mountain, so shall they be made. You shall make the enclosure of the Tabernacle:

On the south side, a hundred cubits of hangings of fine twisted linen for the length of the enclosure on that side--with its twenty posts and their twenty sockets of copper, the hooks and bands of the posts to be of silver. Again a hundred cubits of hangings for its length along the north side--with its twenty posts and their twenty sockets of copper, the hooks and bands of the posts to be of silver. For the width of the enclosure, on the west side, fifty cubits of hangings, with their ten posts and their ten sockets. For the width of the enclosure on the front, or east side, fifty cubits: fifteen cubits of hangings on the one flank, with their three posts and their three sockets; fifteen cubits of hangings on the other flank, with their three posts and their three sockets; and for the gate of the enclosure, a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, done in embroidery, with their four posts and their four sockets. All the posts round the enclosure shall be banded with silver and their hooks shall be of silver; their sockets shall be of copper. The length of the enclosure shall be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout; and the height five cubits--[with hangings] of fine twisted linen. The sockets shall be of copper: all the utensils of the Tabernacle, for all its service, as well as all its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of copper.

Mission Update:

 

 

^{Hebrews 4:12}  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Well last Friday we were closed due to Pastor dan's surgery on his trigger finger. Everything went well and when this hand heals they will do the other. Tuesday Jessie made seven dozen egg sandwiches while Ahava made 48 sloppy joes. I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, greenbeans with tomatoes and bread-n-butter for dinner.

 

I received 1000.00 and a few smaller donations so I was able to get the last of January and a few Feburary bills paid. Radio for this month is paid and I bought 150 pounds of ground round for 1.79 a pound. The bills I have right now that need to be paid are 1166.56 and the 350 to do the newsletter. Dans hand should be healed enough that the newsletter should go out this coming Tuesday(should the funds be here).

 

We did get a few medical supplies and Dan helped a few of the guys get their prescriptions Tuesday. We need to stock the Mission with supplies and staples so Pray about helping these works. Thanks to all of you who support us the needs are just never ending. I'm closing for now

These are the rules that you shall set before them: When you acquire a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years; in the seventh year he shall go free, without payment. If he came single, he shall leave single; if he had a wife, his wife shall leave with him. If his master gave him a wife, and she has borne him children, the wife and her children shall belong to the master, and he shall leave alone. But if the slave declares, "I love my master, and my wife and children: I do not wish to go free," his master shall take him before God. He shall be brought to the door or the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall then remain his slave for life. When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not be freed as male slaves are. If she proves to be displeasing to her master, who designated her for himself, he must let her be redeemed; he shall not have the right to sell her to outsiders, since he broke faith with her. And if he designated her for his son, he shall deal with her as is the practice with free maidens. If he marries another, he must not withhold from this one her food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. If he fails her in these three ways, she shall go free, without payment. He who fatally strikes a man shall be put to death. If he did not do it by design, but it came about by an act of God, I will assign you a place to which he can flee. When a man schemes against another and kills him treacherously, you shall take him from My very altar to be put to death. He who strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death. He who kidnaps a man--whether he has sold him or is still holding him--shall be put to death. He who insults his father or his mother shall be put to death. When men quarrel and one strikes the other with stone or fist, and he does not die but has to take to his bed--if he then gets up and walks outdoors upon his staff, the assailant shall go unpunished, except that he must pay for his idleness and his cure. When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod, and he dies there and then, he must be avenged. But if he survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, since he is the other's property. When men fight, and one of them pushes a pregnant woman and a miscarriage results, but no other damage ensues, the one responsible shall be fined according as the woman's husband may exact from him, the payment to be based on reckoning. But if other damage ensues, the penalty shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let him go free on account of his eye. If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let him go free on account of his tooth. When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox is not to be punished. If, however, that ox has been in the habit of goring, and its owner, though warned, has failed to guard it, and it kills a man or a woman--the ox shall be stoned and its owner, too, shall be put to death. If ransom is laid upon him, he must pay whatever is laid upon him to redeem his life. So, too, if it gores a minor, male or female, [the owner] shall be dealt with according to the same rule. But if the ox gores a slave, male or female, he shall pay thirty shekels of silver to the master, and the ox shall be stoned. When a man opens a pit, or digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or an ass falls into it, the one responsible for the pit must make restitution; he shall pay the price to the owner, but shall keep the dead animal.

When a man's ox injures his neighbor's ox and it dies, they shall sell the live ox and divide its price; they shall also divide the dead animal. If, however, it is known that the ox was in the habit of goring, and its owner has failed to guard it, he must restore ox for ox, but shall keep the dead animal. When a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep. If the thief is seized while tunneling, and he is beaten to death, there is no bloodguilt in his case. If the sun has risen on him, there is bloodguilt in that case. He must make restitution; if he lacks the means, he shall be sold for his theft. But if what he stole--whether ox or ass or sheep--is found alive in his possession, he shall pay double. When a man lets his livestock loose to graze in another's land, and so allows a field or a vineyard to be grazed bare, he must make restitution for the impairment of that field or vineyard. When a fire is started and spreads to thorns, so that stacked, standing, or growing grain is consumed, he who started the fire must make restitution. When a man gives money or goods to another for safekeeping, and they are stolen from the man's house--if the thief is caught, he shall pay double; if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall depose before God that he has not laid hands on the other's property. In all charges of misappropriation--pertaining to an ox, an ass, a sheep, a garment, or any other loss, whereof one party alleges, "This is it"--the case of both parties shall come before God: he whom God declares guilty shall pay double to the other. When a man gives to another an ass, an ox, a sheep or any other animal to guard, and it dies or is injured or is carried off, with no witness about, an oath before the Lord shall decide between the two of them that the one has not laid hands on the property of the other; the owner must acquiesce, and no restitution shall be made. But if [the animal] was stolen from him, he shall make restitution to its owner. If it was torn by beasts, he shall bring it as evidence; he need not replace what has been torn by beasts. When a man borrows [an animal] from another and it dies or is injured, its owner not being with it, he must make restitution. If its owner was with it, no restitution need be made; but if it was hired, he is entitled to the hire.

If a man seduces a virgin for whom the bride-price has not been paid, and lies with her, he must make her his wife by payment of a bride-price. If her father refuses to give her to him, he must still weigh out silver in accordance with the bride-price for virgins. You shall not tolerate a sorceress. Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death. Whoever sacrifices to a god other than the Lord alone shall be proscribed. You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall not ill-treat any widow or orphan. If you do mistreat them, I will heed their outcry as soon as they cry out to Me, and My anger shall blaze forth and I will put you to the sword, and your own wives shall become widows and your children orphans. If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, do not act toward them as a creditor; exact no interest from them. If you take your neighbor's garment in pledge, you must return it to him before the sun sets; it is his only clothing, the sole covering for his skin. In what else shall he sleep? Therefore, if he cries out to Me, I will pay heed, for I am compassionate. You shall not revile God, nor put a curse upon a chieftain among your people. You shall not put off the skimming of the first yield of your vats. You shall give Me the first-born among your sons. You shall do the same with your cattle and your flocks: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me. You shall be holy people to Me: you must not eat flesh torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.

You must not carry false rumors; you shall not join hands with the guilty to act as a malicious witness: You shall neither side with the mighty to do wrong--you shall not give perverse testimony in a dispute so as to pervert it in favor of the mighty--nor shall you show deference to a poor man in his dispute. When you encounter your enemy's ox or ass wandering, you must take it back to him. When you see the ass of your enemy lying under its burden and would refrain from raising it, you must nevertheless raise it with him. You shall not subvert the rights of your needy in their disputes. Keep far from a false charge; do not bring death on those who are innocent and in the right, for I will not acquit the wrongdoer. Do not take bribes, for bribes blind the clear-sighted and upset the pleas of those who are in the right. You shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the feelings of the stranger, having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt. Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but in the seventh you shall let it rest and lie fallow. Let the needy among your people eat of it, and what they leave let the wild beasts eat. You shall do the same with your vineyards and your olive groves. Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor, in order that your ox and your ass may rest, and that your bondman and the stranger may be refreshed.

Be on guard concerning all that I have told you. Make no mention of the names of other gods; they shall not be heard on your lips. Three times a year you shall hold a festival for Me: You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread--eating unleavened bread for seven days as I have commanded you--at the set time in the month of Abib, for in it you went forth from Egypt; and none shall appear before Me empty-handed; and the Feast of the Harvest, of the first fruits of your work, of what you sow in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in the results of your work from the field. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Sovereign, the Lord. You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened; and the fat of My festal offering shall not be left lying until morning. The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. I am sending an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have made ready. Pay heed to him and obey him. Do not defy him, for he will not pardon your offenses, since My Name is in him; but if you obey him and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. When My angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I annihilate them, you shall not bow down to their gods in worship or follow their practices, but shall tear them down and smash their pillars to bits. 25 You shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from your midst.
No woman in your land shall miscarry or be barren. I will let you enjoy the full count of your days.

I will send forth My terror before you, and I will throw into panic all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn tail before you. I will send a plague ahead of you, and it shall drive out before you the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites. I will not drive them out before you in a single year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply to your hurt. I will drive them out before you little by little, until you have increased and possess the land. I will set your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of Philistia, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you will drive them out before you. You shall make no covenant with them and their gods. They shall not remain in your land, lest they cause you to sin against Me; for you will serve their gods--and it will prove a snare to you. Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel, and bow low from afar. Moses alone shall come near the Lord; but the others shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him."

Moses went and repeated to the people all the commands of the Lord and all the rules; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, "All the things that the Lord has commanded we will do!" Moses then wrote down all the commands of the Lord. Early in the morning, he set up an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel. He designated some young men among the Israelites, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed bulls as offerings of well-being to the Lord. Moses took one part of the blood and put it in basins, and the other part of the blood he dashed against the altar. Then he took the record of the covenant and read it aloud to the people. And they said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will faithfully do!" Moses took the blood and dashed it on the people and said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord now makes with you concerning all these commands." Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel ascended; and they saw the God of Israel: under His feet there was the likeness of a pavement of sapphire, like the very sky for purity. Yet He did not raise His hand against the leaders of the Israelites; they beheld God, and they ate and drank.

The Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and wait there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the teachings and commandments which I have inscribed to instruct them." So Moses and his attendant Joshua arose, and Moses ascended the mountain of God. To the elders he had said, "Wait here for us until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you; let anyone who has a legal matter approach them." When Moses had ascended the mountain, the cloud covered the mountain. The Presence of the Lord abode on Mount Sinai, and the cloud hid it for six days. On the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. Now the Presence of the Lord appeared in the sight of the Israelites as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain. Moses went inside the cloud and ascended the mountain; and Moses remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Mission Updates: Messiah's Branch http://messiahsbranch.org/

Proverbs 28:6 ^{6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.}

Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace, I have not did a Mission update since last week at least I think so. We did get some needed support in from several sources last week including a donation of $450 for food and Bibles in the mail. I do know that all the new bills are coming in and the newsletter needs to go out next week if we are to get the support from the mail out newsletter. We need $350 for that.....It snowed today in Wichita so I pray the homeless are all right and everyone got inside. With the way things are there is no way all get or have gotten inside. I love the snow but when I look at it know days I can only think of those stuck outside. While Bills are due and we need funds for about everything I do pray that this month as people get income taxes back that they think of the Mission in Wichita. We really have work there that needs done ASAP but no funds. We started the New Building project During Feb. of last year. We need to finish it before spring. Did you read the report about the coming depression I put out from a minister called Andrew Strom? He ministers to the poor and says what I say here is from that report: "There is only one type of Christian that I believe will survive - and maybe even thrive - during the coming Depression - and that is the Christian who is ministering actively to the POOR. It does not matter how much gold or US T-bills you store up. It is only "heavenly treasure" that will do. Do not expect to do well if you only selfishly consider yourself and your own family. Those who are ministering to the poor and needy I believe have a chance to literally THRIVE in this situation, while those who "hoard to themselves" can expect God's great displeasure. He is simply not going to put up with it any more." ^{http://www.revivalschool.com} If you wish the report and did not get it please email me and I will send it to you. He will be on radio with me within the next two weeks. I am getting my right hand operated on tomorrow for Trigger Thumb and finger so if you think about me lift me in prayer.......Please lift us in prayer and help if you can because we need your help right now!

The LORD bless thee and keep thee; The LORD make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee; The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace) Bemidbar (Numbers) 6:24-26 In Yeshua's Name, Bro. Dan, Pastor of Messiah's Branch

Psalms 54:4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. Psalms 72:12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

Shalom In Yeshua Messiah,

Friday we will be closed due to pastor dans surgury on his trigger finger. Tuesday Jessie made nine dozen egg sandwiches her & Ahave will be our egg cookers for now. We had more eggs come in with a bucket of meat right after dinner so the egg supply is good for a few days. I will pick up 150 pounds of ground round tomorrow that I ordered while it was on sale for 1.79 a pound. That should be enough for 15 meals so the freezer is looking good for now. I also will buy 10 to 12 large print Bibles next trip to the Mission. Praise be to Yahweh for He always DELIVERS amen. The remaining three bills I have yet to pay for Jan come to 339.53. The newsletter needs to go out that's right at 350.00 and the bills that are now in and need paid total 1312.60. I also need to stock things at the Mission, that will cost close to 200, we need cough & pain meds and gloves so please PRAY about supporting these works. This week has been a very hard week and the next one up isn't looking much better for me. Please pray for my humbleness, strength and guidence. I am very tired and it's a big day tomorrow so I will let you go and write more on the Mission next update:

love sisterlinda/Messiah's Branch

Lynn Marzulli 1/27 is telling the TRUTH! Wake up all you christians in DENIAL! The Rapture will not happen because of your "wishfull thinking" but you will be here to see this! It`s already happening! Don`t know what it is? Read Gen 6 they are Nephilim Fallen angels (demons in a manifest body ) NOT Aliens!!!!! This is the Psalm 2 WAR they are in alined with the Goverments of the WORLD! Read Eph: 6 If you don`t know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior repent of all your sins, talk to him, call upon him believe in Him only, and read your bible starting in the Gospel of John in the New Testament and believe what the Lord is telling you in His Word not your pastors, priests etc., get away from the lies in the 501 c3 churches they are all Gov controlled!!!!! Jesus Christ will be your only answer when these "things" start manifesting before your very eyes, you must be born again and spirit filled or you`ll be dinner, you must stand in Christ his shed blood and the Full Armour and call on Jesus to come against this! You can call me a nut but, I have been born-again for 32 yrs and the Lord speaks to my spirit and has preformed many miracles in my life, I know Him but more important, He KNOWS me, I have seen many supernatural things in my 32 yrs of believi ng the truth! And right now I~M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH! Don`t believe me? Wait you will!!!! Don`t call me then, call Jesus Christ! Blessings

Shalom B'Shem Yeshua HaMashiach /Peace in the Name of Yeshua, the Messiah
