Financial Advice by Rabbi Chaim Dovid Green

"And G-d spoke to Moshe saying: 'Command Aharon and his children as follows, This is the law of the (completely) burnt offering...'" (Leviticus 6:1-2). The medieval commentator, Rashi, explains that the expression "command" used here is intended to exhort the Kohanim (dedicated servants of G-d) to act. Why do they need encouragement here? It is because there is a loss of money in the fulfillment of this commandment, and in that case there is an extra need for encouragement. What loss of money is there in this particular commandment? One explanation is that since this is a completely burnt offering, the Kohanim receive no share of it, and they will prefer to involve themselves in bringing the offerings in which they do receive a share. Others explain that the fact that there was an obligation to keep a fire going all night on the altar regardless of the need, involved seeming unnecessary use of the wood, and a "waste" of money.
The overall point is that there is a level of human nature which needs to be addressed when doing the right thing involves divesting oneself of, or losing anticipated funds. The Sfas Emes, a 19th century Chassidic leader and luminary, explained as follows. These words are said regarding the generations of Jews living through the Diaspora. So many were up against anti-Semites who held the Jews back from making a living and made it extremely difficult for them to observe the commandments, due to poverty and preoccupation with eking out a living. The Torah is strongly encouraging them to persevere. I'm no sage, but I think the same can be said about the generation we are living in as well. So many of us in the Western world are living in such relative comfort that we have become preoccupied with our "toys," and maintaining our financial security, to the exclusion of pursuit of spiritual growth - Torah learning, and Mitzvah observance. We all feel disappointed by the failure of our material and physical pleasures to provide us with a sustained contentment, but we delude ourselves into just taking a larger dose. We are barking up the wrong tree. By and large, the people who the Sfas Emes was speaking to understood that Torah, and service of G-d, was their source of strength and spirituality. We, who live in the generations of relative luxury, are now challenged to recognize the same. Let us remember the words of Rabbi Yossi Ben Kisma (Chapters of the Fathers 6:9) "for when a person leaves this world, nothing accompanies him - not silver and gold, or priceless stones and pearls, - but Torah (learning) and good deeds alone." Let us not look to the "new gods" which society has created for itself, but let us rediscover the true source of happiness and lasting worth - Torah learning, and observance of its commandments. Good Shabbos!

MISSION UPDATES:

I pray this points you to the Safe Place......

Greetings, First I am glad to see you saints sharing as this is what this list is for, so I guess I should share something.Roughly 14 years ago I started a mail out news letter, it was really to answer with one letter to many people that mailed me. No not email. I was into the End-time things so to speak for a few years before this, really I knew we were in the time of the end when I came out of the world some 19 years ago.These people all felt that they were in the Time of the End, most all listened to short-wave programs and talk radio on AM or FM. Yes they felt just as most of you do right now that trouble was days or months away. Later I will go into what we thought then compared to now. I will say this is the first time a president made me feel like I do now, not saying others did not upset me.About 15 years ago I met Stan Johnson of the Prophecy Club. At first he was the only person really having large meetings with 300 or people at a time about the end-times. Of course when I met him he was only doing meetings in Topeka. Ks.At the height of things the Prophecy Club was on 25 TV stations, 80 radio stations and having meetings in 40 cities a month. Now I am not saying this to brag on Stan or the PC just bear with me.Early on the Father told me to help the PC all I could and our ministry would prosper and grow, he also told me not to worry about the differences in the way I believed and Stan, just leave Stan to Him.
By the way Stan was pre-trib rapture, but grew out of it by 2000 So I helped as a volunteer at the door of these meetings and early on even went and helped pick out articles for the PC newsletter. At one time that newsletter went out to over 100,000 people. From 1993 to 2000 at these meetings there were 7,000 people came to Christ/Messiah and 20,000 rededications. About 1994 I started my own mail out newsletter, the first people I mailed to was from a little booklet by "Brother Ben" called the Seventh Week Magazine, he lives in Texas in the wilderness where he has led others to prepare. The prophecy club grew very fast drawing all kinds of people in, most was from middles class Christians but man were from preparedness groups, people who listened to Short-wave, militia's, ex military, FBI agents ( they are people to and worried about the end times, on of Stan's biggest speaks was an ex Agent in charge as they call them) people from all walks of life with one thing in common they new the time we are in. And let us not forget the main stream Christians in 40 cities that heard the PC on christain radio driving back and forth to work etc.
The only real problem that arose as I saw it was the meetings could get discredited fast if material like from White supremacists was allowed to be given out. So at a Wichita meeting Stan decided to stop all material but PC material to be given out. Some did not think this was fair but really it was the only fair way as no one had time to stop people at the doors and read their stuff etc….So no one got to pass out anything. Stan did however let me put my newsletter next to his and give them out at the meetings. You see he read mine and knew the materials I was putting out and really I think the Father told Him to allow it. So then our newsletter was Called "The Christian Biker Tract" and went out to many people. I was able to meet the guests personally and talked with many who were first un-known until Stan made them Known, a few of this are Al-Cuppet ex-chair -man joint chief of staffs, Dumitru Duduman ( of course Michael Boldea his Grandson ) Col. Jim Ammerman, Michael Rhood, Prophet Tom Deckard, Texe Marrs, the list goes on. Meeting these people and giving them Newsletters with also an introduction from Stan later helped as it made my newsletter credible as well as helped me make contacts which even now help this ministry. It is sad that many of the Guest speakers seemed to forget that Stan helped them get started.
The Prophecy Club has I think 236 end-time DVD's from over the years. I have to hand it to Stan he keeps going under much pressure as now with the internet people who do not agree with some of his guests idea's or even Stan, now try to make him out to be a False prophet because their idea's do not agree with his and many are really still jealous of the things he did. But that is the way things are people have their own idea's and if you do not agree then they try to make you out to be the bad guy instead of doing the research, and in most cases these people have not even read the whole Bible, but again this is not the point of this now article that was a short note. By the way many people were very jealous of the PC and said all kinds of bad things because Stan would not let them come to meetings and promote their ministries. We would hear all the time this person or that person was going to replace the PC and no one ever did what the PC did, they are still around and going through a transformation as Stan and the PC is still growing.
At the door meeting people I was able to grow my mailing list with people that were living in places of preparation. I know of people in the rocky mountains the Lord Yeshua called out to prepare a place for the many coming up out of California burnt, men, women, and children. Places are there and all over I assure you, even indside of cities Yahweh has placed people help you and lead you out. So I can tell you may think you have no place to be but if you are right with The Lord Yeshua He will lead you when the time comes.
I guess I should add to this that many people downed Stan for asking a donation to get into the meetings, but how else could you pay for rooms in major motels as all meetings places were clean and not dumps. Go try and book a room to have a meeting with 300 people and see how much it costs. Yes he sold tapes and now DVD's but if you do not sell them how are you going to make them? Who pays for it all? Stan always took the money and put it back in radio and the ministry, I know this personally. And for the record these people that down Stan just do not agree with him or his speakers or try to make a name off for themselves by putting Him down.
Okay back to the point of this, so now I am at the year 2009 and the various contacts I have made from our newsletter ( Now called The Prophetic News Service, by Messiah's Branch) and the net has did nothing but increase with now people all over the world in-the Know like Dr. Stephan Houston who was a counter-terrorism specialist and special advisor to the post 9/11 National Center for Intelligence and Counter-terrorism (NCIC) in Washington DC and also British Intelligence 2001-2005. Before the President of the United States or HRH Queen Elizabeth made any state visits abroad, Houston was consulted for travel safety because of his knowledge of global terrorism. And first and foremost he is a minister of the gospel in the Untied Kingdom. So yes I can tell you from a very informed point of view that if you are right and have that special relationship with the Lord Yeshua then in the time of trouble he will give you refuge.

Let me relate a vision by Dumitru Duduman from the Hand of help web site:

The Vision Of The Mountain June 1989

While I was in Wisconsin at a pastor's home, during a time of fasting and prayer, a sadness flooded me. I went into my room and began to pray in tongues. Suddenly, a huge mountain appeared before me. Half of the mountain flourished with green trees, and the other half was barren and desolate. Then I heard a big explosion, and a powerful voice said, "California is burning! California is burning!Climb to the to of the mountain! There you will be safe!" I was desperate because my family was not with me, but in California. So I began to call for them. I Saw California engulfed in flames. I began to climb the mountain, and when I looked back, I saw my wife dragging my three grandsons by the hand. "Get up here faster so you won't burn!" I shouted. Then I saw my daughter helping her husband along, because he was afraid of falling. "Tell them not to look back," the voice called. I yelled his instructions to them, and told them to hurry so they wouldn't catch on fire. Finally, all of us were on the top of the mountain. "look down." the voice said. Looking down, I saw fire bursting out of the ground, while trees and houses disintegrated before my eyes. People were screaming in agony and pain. I saw some of them trying to climb up the mountain, but most of them weren't able to. Then, two men dressed in white appeared. One of them said in a loud voice,"Do you see how California is burning? This is how it will happen." Trembling with fear, I reappeared in the pastor's backyard. Flames were erupting out of the ground, so I began to scream, "Get out of the house and climb up the mountain so you won't burn! America is burning!" Running out of the house, they screamed, "save us, Jesus!"
Confused, I saw the two men dressed in white appearing again. One of them said, "see what I have shown you? This is how will happen. The mountain that you see before you is Jesus Christ. Those who live a holy life will be saved. When the attack comes and the country burns, only those who's names are written in the book of Life will be saved. Remember to tell everybody what I have shown you." When the vision ended, I told my pastor what happened and called my family right away. "Is there any fire? Has anything happened?" I asked. Hearing that nothing happened, I was overjoyed. By standing on the mountain, we will be saved. Excepted from: Dreams and Visions From God

The Mountain is Yeshua……So get right with him otherwise all the preparedness in the world will not help you! The safest place to be is in the will of the Lord Yeshua, if you have that relationship he will lead you to where you need to be and the place you need to be is not in a state of fear but of a sound mind a place of love. Sure I have a bug-out bags for my family but I did not make them as I could not afford them, someone sent them without me asking.
I can tell you only of one safe place to be and that is in His will! Once there He will lead you to how to prepare which may be nothing as Someone else may have made the place for you, only he knows for sure.So this is why I do what I do, it is the Lord Yeshua's will to Love one another, care for one another, to love Him first and hate sin. I know I am in His will and no matter what trial I go through I know He is in control as my Old friend brother Ben sang in a old end-time song "He's In Control".
I better go I will say more later, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and may the LORD our God, Father KING of the UNIVERSE,in Yeshua Ha Mesciah's Name bless and keep you, and His face shine Upon you, is Gracious to you; And Gives you Peace, Pastor Dan

Ecclesiastes 1:9

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Shalom In Yeshua our Messiah,

Well we desided to do the food bags on Wednesday's instead of Tuesday's for many reasons. Shorten the work load and wait time for the bags being two of the main concerns. Pray for us that we will continue this work as it is very needed and so many families are being blessed.

I had one person ask me well sisterlinda can't some of those people help you out for the word say's if you work not you eat not. Well yea the word does say that but it also say's to care for those who hunger. If someone ask you for something and you have it your suppose to give it..... anyway Pray about supporting the food bag program.

The newsletter should go out this week or at the very latest next Tuesday. The funding is on the way for Yahweh is in Control and He is the Provider for ALL His works. Bills are coming in like wild fire but donations are not coming in as fast. The past two day's nothing came in so please pray about supporting us.

I can't believe how time flys it's now 5am so I better get this printed so I can go catch a few hours sleep before heading into Wichita to feed.

love sisterlinda

Prison Weekly PART 2 for Shabbat Nisan 3, 5769

OOPS! I made a mistake the portion for last week was a double portion so here is the second part...

Parshat Pekudei

The Talmudic phrase bitul Torah, literally the "cancellation of Torah," refers to the time one spends occupied with the world at large, away from Jewish text study. Chol, literally "profane," refers to the six days of the week before Shabbat. Such language suggests that religious life takes place only within the temporal boundaries of ritual. This notion is problematic and spiritually impoverished. Religious life is not a series of proscribed acts separated by spans of mundanity. To the deeply religious person, spiritual life is continuous. Moments of ritual dust off the soul and propel the individual into the following hours with renewed awareness and intention. Parshat Vayakhel reminds us that religiosity transcends ritual. Moses addresses the whole Israelite community for the first time since his dramatic return from Mt. Sinai.^{1 He briefly commands the nation to observe Shabbat2 and then launches into a long, detailed speech about the construction of the Mishkan. The rest of Parshat Vayakhel, and much of Parshat Pekudei, are devoted to this grand project and document the overwhelming generosity of the Israelite community to complete it. Moses's short instruction about the holy seventh day virtually dissolves in the details of construction—building, melting, welding and other acts that are forbidden on Shabbat. Just as the vast majority of life occurs outside of ritual acts, the vast majority of this parshah focuses on the activities of chol.
Moses suggests that our work in the world before and after Shabbat is no less important than Shabbat itself. "Six days you shall do work," he commands, "and on the seventh day you shall have a Shabbat of complete rest."3 Thus, the first mitzvah that Moses articulates after Mt. Sinai is that we should engage in work for six-sevenths of every week. Insofar as Shabbat is a call for rest on Saturdays, it is also a call for action on all other days. From this perspective, the true observance of Shabbat is an ever-flowing, lifelong affair that usually consists of working. This is not to say that Parshat Vayakhel disregards or undervalues religious ritual itself. Moses's few words about the observance of Shabbat could hardly be more emphatic. "Whoever does any work [melachah] on it [Shabbat] shall die,"4 he warns. According to the medieval commentator Rashi, Moses prefaces his speech about the Mishkan with a warning about Shabbat in order to remind the Israelites that the Mishkan does not supersede Shabbat.5
The construction of the Mishkan has traditionally been regarded as an illustration of what we should not do on Shabbat.6 Indeed, the Rabbis derived the 39 prohibited actions on Shabbat directly from the 39 acts of labor involved in the creation of the Mishkan.7 However, we can also view this principle from the opposite angle. While the construction of the Mishkan demonstrates inversely what Shabbat should not look like, it also reveals a direct prescription for our engagement during the rest of the week. According to midrash, the Mishkan is a microcosm of the whole world.8 Like the nation who built the Mishkan as a dwelling place for the Divine, we must work to make the world worthy of that Presence. The levels of scrutiny, care and "voluntary-heartedness"9} that define the building process in parshiyot Vayakhel and Pekudei beckon us to devote equally high levels of mindfulness and spirit to our own melachah (work) at all times. We must take our work during the week very seriously.
Every act of melachah—that which we do in homes and offices, public squares and private spaces—changes the world in a constructive or destructive way. When we purchase imported goods, what types of labor are we supporting overseas? For those of us employed outside our homes, how does our professional work—and that of our companies and organizations—hurt or help people globally? How do we use our money, time and physical selves to pursue justice in the world? When we speak with children, when we are at home and on our ways, when we lie down and when we rise up, do we ask ourselves which nails, knots, clasps and sheets we will contribute to the Mishkan of the world today? These day to day activities are what make our world a dwelling place for the Divine. Shabbat is important, yet our behavior during the other six days is no less a part of religious life. Shabbat is when we step back and appreciate the created world. Chol is when we step up and participate in creating that world. Piety is not only a reflection of what we observe, but also of what we build.

The Hebrew month is Now Nisan these Parshah's are for Shabbat Nisan 3, 5769

The Torah Parashah HaShavuah is Vayikra "And he called" Leviticus 1:1-6:7 Haftarah Isaiah 43:21-44:23 & Brit Hadashah Luke 1-3

Next Weeks Torah Tsav "Command" Leviticus 6:8-8:36 Haftorah Jeremiah 7:21-8:3 Brit Hadashah Hebrews 8:1-6
If his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, he shall choose his offering from turtledoves or pigeons. The priest shall bring it to the altar, pinch off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar. He shall remove its crop with its contents, and cast it into the place of the ashes, at the east side of the altar. The priest shall tear it open by its wings, without severing it, and turn it into smoke on the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. When a person presents an offering of meal to the Lord, his offering shall be of choice flour; he shall pour oil upon it, lay frankincense on it, and present it to Aaron's sons, the priests. The priest shall scoop out of it a handful of its choice flour and oil, as well as all of its frankincense; and this token portion he shall turn into smoke on the altar, as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And the remainder of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the Lord's offerings by fire. When you present an offering of meal baked in the oven, [it shall be of] choice flour: unleavened cakes with oil mixed in, or unleavened wafers spread with oil. If your offering is a meal offering on a griddle, it shall be of choice flour with oil mixed in, unleavened. 6 Break it into bits and pour oil on it; it is a meal offering. If your offering is a meal offering in a pan, it shall be made of choice flour in oil. When you present to the Lord a meal offering that is made in any of these ways, it shall be brought to the priest who shall take it up to the altar. The priest shall remove the token portion from the meal offering and turn it into smoke on the altar as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And the remainder of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the Lord's offerings by fire. No meal offering that you offer to the Lord shall be made with leaven, for no leaven or honey may be turned into smoke as an offering by fire to the Lord. You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of choice products; but they shall not be offered up on the altar for a pleasing odor. You shall season your every offering of meal with salt; you shall not omit from your meal offering the salt of your covenant with God; with all your offerings you must offer salt. If you bring a meal offering of first fruits to the Lord, you shall bring new ears parched with fire, grits of the fresh grain, as your meal offering of first fruits. You shall add oil to it and lay frankincense on it; it is a meal offering. And the priest shall turn a token portion of it into smoke: some of the grits and oil, with all of the frankincense, as an offering by fire to the Lord.
If his offering is a sacrifice of well-being-- If he offers of the herd, whether a male or a female, he shall bring before the Lord one without blemish. He shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash the blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present from the sacrifice of well-being, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. Aaron's sons shall turn these into smoke on the altar, with the burnt offering which is upon the wood that is on the fire, as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And if his offering for a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord is from the flock, whether a male or a female, he shall offer one without blemish. If he presents a sheep as his offering, he shall bring it before the Lord and lay his hand upon the head of his offering. It shall be slaughtered before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat from the sacrifice of well-being: the whole broad tail, which shall be removed close to the backbone; the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. The priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire to the Lord. And if his offering is a goat, he shall bring it before the Lord and lay his hand upon its head. It shall be slaughtered before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present as his offering from it, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. The priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire, of pleasing odor. All fat is the Lord's. It is a law for all time throughout the ages, in all your settlements: you must not eat any fat or any blood. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: When a person unwittingly incurs guilt in regard to any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and does one of them--If it is the anointed priest who has incurred guilt, so that blame falls upon the people, he shall offer for the sin of which he is guilty a bull of the herd without blemish as a sin offering to the Lord. He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord, and lay his hand upon the head of the bull. The bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord, and the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain of the Shrine. The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense, which is in the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord; and all the rest of the bull's blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He shall remove all the fat from the bull of sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys--just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar of burnt offering. But the hide of the bull, and all its flesh, as well as its head and legs, its entrails and its dung--all the rest of the bull--he shall carry to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and burn it up in a wood fire; it shall be burned on the ash heap.
If it is the whole community of Israel that has erred and the matter escapes the notice of the congregation, so that they do any of the things which by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt--when the sin through which they incurred guilt becomes known, the congregation shall offer a bull of the herd as a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. The elders of the community shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord. The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the Tent of Meeting, and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of it seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain. Some of the blood he shall put on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting, and all the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He shall remove all its fat from it and turn it into smoke on the altar. He shall do with this bull just as is done with the [priest's] bull of sin offering; he shall do the same with it. Thus the priest shall make expiation for them, and they shall be forgiven. He shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering of the congregation.

In case it is a chieftain who incurs guilt by doing unwittingly any of the things which by the commandment of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and he realizes his guilt--or the sin of which he is guilty is brought to his knowledge--he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish. He shall lay his hand upon the goat's head, and it shall be slaughtered at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord; it is a sin offering. The priest shall take with his finger some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. All its fat he shall turn into smoke on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of well-being. Thus the priest shall make expiation on his behalf for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.And if his means do not suffice for two turtledoves or two pigeons, he shall bring as his offering for that of which he is guilty a tenth of an ephah of choice flour for a sin offering; he shall not add oil to it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop out of it a handful as a token portion of it and turn it into smoke on the altar, with the Lord's offerings by fire; it is a sin offering. Thus the priest shall make expiation on his behalf for whichever of these sins he is guilty, and he shall be forgiven. It shall belong to the priest, like the meal offering.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When a person commits a trespass, being unwittingly remiss about any of the Lord's sacred things, he shall bring as his penalty to the Lord a ram without blemish from the flock, convertible into payment in silver by the sanctuary weight, as a guilt offering. He shall make restitution for that wherein he was remiss about the sacred things, and he shall add a fifth part to it and give it to the priest. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven. And when a person, without knowing it, sins in regard to any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and then realizes his guilt, he shall be subject to punishment. He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf for the error that he committed unwittingly, and he shall be forgiven. It is a guilt offering; he has incurred guilt before the Lord. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When a person sins and commits a trespass against the Lord by dealing deceitfully with his fellow in the matter of a deposit or a pledge, or through robbery, or by defrauding his fellow, or by finding something lost and lying about it; if he swears falsely regarding any one of the various things that one may do and sin thereby--when one has thus sinned and, realizing his guilt, would restore that which he got through robbery or fraud, or the deposit that was entrusted to him, or the lost thing that he found, or anything else about which he swore falsely, he shall repay the principal amount and add a fifth part to it. He shall pay it to its owner when he realizes his guilt. Then he shall bring to the priest, as his penalty to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for whatever he may have done to draw blame thereby.

Mission Updates: Greetings Saints, Wall street rallied today as Obama said he would or rather we would buy up bad depts.. But is that good news for the workingman, not really, California, Nevada, and Oregon have 19% unemployment, which just happens to be at depression levels. It's going to get worse before it get's any better so you should store up food now! Could I be wrong yes, but if you decide not to store and I'm right and you are going to be very hungry. As for me if you are right and nothing happens I have food…where is the loss. By the way here is the link to join the group to get to know like-minded people ^{ETNH@yahoogroups.com} I have not yet placed it on my web site but it is slowly growing, I have some bugs still to work out. It is not a news list or a list in which we post what the latest word of knowledge or prophecy is but a group to help one another and here from one another. Right now it is on moderated but I will lift that as I see who the members are and what they post. It would be a good place to start for those on the list to say something about them selves.
Daily I thank Yahweh for allowing me to serve Him, without Him we can do nothing, and without you allowing Him to use you we would be at a stop.Right now the people coming for food are more everyday we are open. I think mom said she did 72 food boxes or sacks Tuesday and about the same on Friday. We stopped doing it on Friday as it was getting very late and made our family church service hard to do. So everyone should come tomorrow and I expect 150? That will take us from about 6 PM till 10PM plus…..This is how many people you are helping. Again without you allowing the Father to use you nothing would get done.We are in need of many thing one of which is Brakes for the bus, as it is I have to pump them and sooner or later……Yes have been receiving donations but remember when I said that is generally our best month for donations, so far I pray that is not the case for this year as it has been slow. I know many people are holding on to money they have, which is good but we are required to sow our seeds. Look you do not have to sow in our ministry just make sure people are getting help from your donations or just do it yourself. If you feel led then donate to this ministry. Luke 19:1111And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. If you sow your seed unto your Lord Yeshua and His work then your will reap a harvest, that is how he works, we sow what we are given by doing his work, the more we help people the more he gives us and so on. No we do not gain more, as I am a poor man, as I know most have figured out. Money to me is for helping others and or course needs. So that is how I look at things, money just passes from Him to you, to me, then to the people…..a cycle.
I have found if I write too much people do not read these, I will try and send pictures tomorrow. Lift us in prayer and help if you can as we do really need it.
Be Very blessed, Pastor Dan Catlin

Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Shalom In Yeshua our Messiah,

I just want to cry I spent over an hour putting together my prison weekly and mission update then I cut it out of word to put into word pad to print and closed word then went to paste and nothing was there..... BOO HOO HOO HOO! Back to the keyboard again!

I am really amazed at the work Yahweh is doing through us He is so AWESOME! I have been learning from what we do and say an it is truely amazing. I now know not to say I am not going to do something because I find myself doing that very thing. I've learnt not to say "I don't have anything for food boxes cause Yahweh is the PROVIDER and HE always PROVIDES. He guides my mind and my hands and the boxes/bags go fro empty to full. I amaze myself at how I can make dinner for 70 people in 45 mins. or how I make 52 food bags when I thought I had nothing for them. We have stopped doing the boxes and went to bags becuse it was just to hard to find boxes in the quanity we needed. Pastor Dan discovered that we can buy 1000 bags from Sam's for just under 12.00 a box.

Last week I found a baby doll in the toys when I was cleaning house so i took it to the mission to give away. As i was entering into the building someone made a remark about the doll and I said this baby has an owner I don't know who that is but I know it belongs to some little girl. Low and behold later in the day when i went to fill the tea jug there stood a women holding a little girl that looked to be age 2-3. I said hey you stay right there Jesus has something for you. You should of seen the look on her face when I brought her the baby doll the whole room seemed to light up. I have started buying stuffed toys, sandles and what ever I can find to give to the children when they come.

I want to THANK all who have sent stamps they have been a GREAT BIG BLESSING!

Please pray about helping these works I won't go into all the NEEDS because they are ENDLESS. I will remind you that it is newsletter time again an the funding still needs to come in. Please add us to your prayers and ask if your to help then be lead by Him to do His will. Thanks again to all who do help we love you all

Exodus 27:20 -30:10

 HAFTARAH is Exekiel 43:10-27 & Brit Hadashah Hebrews 13:10-17

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.

Judgment Means Love
Torah Portion: Tetzaveh by Rabbi Boruch Leff
All of us fear judgment. No one likes to go to traffic court for a violation. Certainly we don't crave hearing our bosses' evaluation of our performance. And when we ponder the fact that God looks down upon us and judges us, it is quite a scary thought. Yet, with deeper profundity, we will discover that God's judgment only comes out of love.This week's Torah portion, Tetzaveh, describes the commandments regarding the types of clothing and "uniforms" that the kohanim (priests) and the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) would wear for their service in the Tabernacle. In addition to the "glory and splendor" (Shemot 28:2) of these beautiful vestments, the Talmud (Zevachim 88b) reveals that the High Priest's wearing of his special clothes would somehow evoke God's mercy and help the Jewish People achieve atonement (with proper repentance) for various sins. Let us study this passage of the Talmud: "The tunic (shirt) atones for murder. The pants atone for adultery. The turban atones for haughtiness. The belt atones for evil thoughts. The breastplate atones for corrupt justice. The apron atones for idolatry. The robe atones for slanderous speech. And the headplate atones for brazenness."

The High Priest represented the Jewish People through his service in the Tabernacle. He wore 12 precious jewels on his breastplate, each symbolizing one of the 12 tribes (Shemot 28:21). One might describe the High Priest as a living embodiment of the entirety of the Jewish Nation. And this living embodiment was constantly serving in the holy Tabernacle, which was God's dwelling amidst the nation. The High Priest was the holiest and closest person to God and he was serving in the location most dear to God.It seems strange then for the eight garments of the High Priest to continually remind God of the sins of the Jews. True, it is not a reminder in an absolutely negative sense -- we are being granted a type of atonement. But one would think that the High Priest's clothing should relate more to expressions of love, merits, or righteous deeds of the Jews, rather than a mention of our sins, even if those sins are forgiven.

And besides, why does God constantly care so much about our sins? Why the need to judge us all the time? (The Talmud (Rosh Hashanah 16a) says that we are actually judged every day and not just on The Jewish New Year.) In addition, we actually celebrate Rosh Hashanah as a holiday, even though it is the annual Day of Judgment. What exactly are we celebrating? Do defendants celebrate their day in court? Or do they dread it with nervousness?Finally, what is so special about turning Bat/Bar Mitzvah? Why do we rejoice when our daughters turn 12 (yes, girls do mature faster) and our sons turn 13?The answer to all of these queries is a fundamental concept in our relationship with God.Why does God judge us? It cannot be because He has a need to judge or to exact revenge. God, by definition, is perfect and the ultimate source of goodness. He has no needs. It must be that He judges us for our benefit. Why is judgment to our benefit? God through His judgment shows us that He cares about everything that we do. We are so important to Him that He constantly watches us. He is concerned with our every move. We are the beings, through our free will, who shape the world and its destiny. Through judgment, we are made aware that every little thing that we do makes a difference. We matter. We are significant and responsible. And responsibility is a tremendous cause for celebration.We live in a generation that has often been described as one that lacks self-esteem and self-worth. Depression is at an all-time high. There have never been as many suicides as there have been in modern times. Surely, many people have clinical issues that require professional treatment. But, we could suggest that if we would contemplate on God's care for us and that the manner in which we perform our 'small' daily activities matters to Him and to the entirety of the world's existence, would we still have low self-esteems? Our routine moral tests and challenges make or break all of the universe's purpose and meaning. Is that not a cause for immense joy?

So we celebrate Rosh HaShanah, the Day of Judgment. We are happy to have God care deeply about our actions. We relish in the thought of having our lives laced with significance.And we rejoice at a Bar/Bat Mitzvah because we are thrilled with the prospect of a youngster's life becoming more meaningful with the advent of responsibility. Now, every action and thought of the youngster is filled with importance, which was not the case before ages 12 or 13.The fact that God judges us shows His love and concern. He is not indifferent to our actions. The worst type of treatment in a relationship is indifference. Marital therapists know that as long as a couple is still fighting, it is possible to save the marriage. If a husband is bothered by things his wife does, or vice versa, love is still present. That's why they make each other angry. If they become indifferent to each other and disappointments no longer matter to them, divorce is almost inevitable. So too, the fact that God cares about all of our actions, for good and for bad, means He loves us.This is the profundity of God's judgment. And this is why our sins and their atonement are such an important factor in the High Priest's clothing. Our sins are foremost on God's 'mind' because He loves us and wants to see us improve.Let's be responsible with our responsibility. If we never knew what we celebrated at our Bar/Bat Mitzvah, let's celebrate a personal and private one today with this newfound awareness of our enormous weight and gravity for the universe.We matter.

Barry or as we used to called him Under bridge Barry

This is one of the chronic homeless we know. I see him generally twice a week. Three years ago he was told by doctors that he had a year at most to live, we prayed together and it seems it was the LORD's will that he is still alive. He recently got out of the hospital as the cancer has spread, no I will not go into great detail but now it really seems that he has 3-6 weeks left to live……We talked and he told me that his attorney was sending me durable power of attorney so I can un-plug him and claim his body. He has it arranged to cremate his body as for sure there is no family that wants him or would help, as he says they really only wish he would stop breathing.We talked and he told me where he has bought an earn for his ashes but wishes that they be scattered at a park. After words he said he wanted his earn to replace the small can I use for change.
I call the box the poor box as many times when I am broke I use it to give bus rides and co pays for prescriptions. And yes Friday I had to get into it for him. Now consider what I just said, you realize how hard it is to unplug someone you have ministered to and called a friend? But this is part of my job that the Father has called me to do.The ministering to the poor and the sick is really all are called to do as a believer. As a believer in Messiah we are to be blessings to others, a light in the sadness and darkness. Consider a look in the mirror and ask your selves what are you doing for messiah? While I realize that all cannot do what I do again you are all called to do this in some degree in your walks with Messiah. I am not judging anyone of you just want you to look at your selves, that's all.
Matthew 5:33
^{3Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
I thought I might share with you some of what we did this last month that was only possible through the kind gifts we receive.As most of you know we are only open on Tuesdays and Fridays, yes when needed we act as overflow also. Last year we had to do overflow for 2 ½ months, this year so far we have only had to do it roughly about a month. Yes we may have to again soon as the overflow will cut back when temps hit above 32%. Can you imagine staying out side at 33% with a wind chill? Anyway Feb. we were opened for 9 days, we gave out 276 food boxes and in them over 3,000 pounds of meat and other food items. This food went to homeless and non-homeless. The food boxes mom said cost in Feb. about $3.53 a box in which she tries to put a weeks food in them….we pay 16 cents a pound for meat from the food bank…
We also fed a 4:30 meal, which served 481 plates, which surprised me, as it is generally double. However we went though 768 eggs mostly in sandwiches from1 to 3 PM. Many come for sandwiches and leave due to the over crowding as we only have 42 chairs, when a person eats 3 sandwiches with cheese, eggs, and meat like turkey on them they generally do not need a meal at 4:30, so the group we feed at the 4:30 PM meal is different by about half…..If you were there and watched mom work you would be amazed at how she never turns anyone away, for food boxes or a meal. Thanks to the Father she always has enough.
This does not include all the clothing, medications, prescription co pays, Bibles, prayers, counseling, and other things we have done in this last month or 9 days as it seems. We are praying that at some point we will be able to do this 24/7…Yes with a crashing economy. Most every year for the last going on 9th year we have always had a very hard time with things starting in November and ending the middle or last of March, with March being our largest month for donations. The key to this is from our mailing list people but will only work if we have do the newsletter like this next week so it is on time. cost $380 which I do not have.
Right now we are basically broke, we have Feb. bill with shut offs that are really past due. No money for anything really other than gas. Yes we can cover last month's food bill which is $972.41. Many times I have tried to get the people on our lists to all donate a little but it always seems as this story…
There is an old Jewish story of a couple about to be married. They lived in a small village and had invited everyone from the village to their wedding. Each guest was asked to bring a jug of wine for the celebration. Each jug of wine would be poured into a giant vat to be shared by everyone.As the wedding day approached, each member of the village thought, "If I do not bring my jug of wine, it will not be missed among so many other jugs." The wedding day arrived and the couple were married and everyone was excited. But as the tap of the vat was opened, not a drop of wine flowed from it, for everyone had been sure that someone else would provide their share.}

FROM A SUPPORTER OF MESSIAH'S BRANCH

QUESTION;

I often wonder why it is that the false churches that do little or nothing to help the poor are aloud by god to get rich,while the true men of god seem to struggle,I guess it's a matter of making sure you trust him for all things.I am not well off,Maybe lower middle class or upper poor,and I find myself praying for more money to help ,sometimes it comes other times not.I also pray for other supporters that they will be able to help.I can see for myself that every dime sent is used wisely,and you for sure are not getting rich,all though I think you have every right to be comfortable. I am also thankful that you teach the truth and warn the people,so much false teaching out there, It is sickening
good night and GOD BLESS.

ANSWER FROM PASTOR DAN

The Word says that Satan is the God of this earth, right now we are given free will to see if we will chose the right way or wrong....too bad the church has chosen the wrong way. The world is left to it's own path and that is why the Great tribulation comes because our Father is going to try before the Son's return to get the Body of Messiah right before He returns...so in answer why God allows this to happen it is because he wants us to worship us freely, Satan the God of this earth rewards wrong doing to keep the people and or church deceived, remember

Matthew 4:8

8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; ⁹And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. ¹⁰Then saith Yeshua unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

If satan could not offer riches then Messiah would simply have said " You have no power to offer these" would he not? Look what he offerd him....riches..

Be Blessed, PD
Lift us in prayer help if you can
^{Listen all of you are really wonderful, as you have allowed the heavenly Father to use you to keep this ministry going all these years. So I am not picking on anyone only asking if you would kindly take this ministry to prayer and see if you are led to help once again or maybe you have never donated and this would be your first time. Consider how much even a $10, $25, or more week donation would help? I know many of you consider that you are not messianic so you would not like to further this work, then consider this we have been going for going on 9 years, feeding more and more people, helping more and more people....yes we seem to ask allot but we have never failed in this time....we are doing the same basically ministry that Messiah did while he was walking the earth. We get out and do it by faith not waiting for money to come but just being obedient and doing......I am a poor man myself, the more money I get the more does on the poor....I know most that if they were facing the things we are right now would just stop saying we have no more and the pressure is to great. For truly I have done all I can and have turned it over to him to provide as we are exhausted, but with my faith in him I will go on as long as I can walk...as he told be to do this and has not said stop.Most of all I implore you to help each other and the poor wherever you are at because when the time comes we Will be judged on how we treat others.
So please lift us in prayer and help if you can, In His Perfect Peace, Pastor Dan Catlin}

Praise Yahweh I paid all of Feburary and the first half of March bills. Donations have picked up a little and I should be able to pay most of everything that is in I just haven't had time to figure out what I have and what needs paid. i have paid everything due up to the 15th. The food bank bill is paid an I was even able to pay the bill for the food picked up on Tuesday. We recieved a big box of socks in the mail that will be a blessing for many today and I'm sure there will be plenty it's a huge box. The clothes room has stayed full thanks to the donations that continue to come on Friday's. Please pray about supporting these works for without you it simple can not be done. We love you all an pray you have a very restful Sabbath and a great purim. We will have our Purim party tonight because it falls on Tuesday and the children will not be there. I will close for now shalom sisterlinda
