AS YEHOVAH LIVES


Yehovah gave me a dream this morning.  In this dream I was preparing to give a message. The message was going to begin with talking about the most revered Name of Elohim, our Creator. His Name has been neglected out of fear of men, and possibly other reasons. But now the situation is so bad. His Name is defiled, literally corrupt because it is forbidden to be pronounced.  
 I am not implying that each individual is corrupt. Yehovah has always a remnant, and I hope you are one of them.
However, the Name of Yehovah has been hidden for too long. To be hidden one day would have been too much, but it is going for millennia,  and it is time to REPENT. Yes, repent. Whoever was that did not permit to place the correct vowels on the letters, (yod, hey, vav, hey), sinned against Yehovah. Those original people are now dead and gone, yet the lie persists.
The vowels of Yehovah are the same as my name Devorah. The vowels are, shewa, cholem and qamats. They are the tree vowels that allow us to pronounce the Name correctly.
Even my name is a little distorted for many write it and pronounced without the final hey, or even simply Debra! I do not accept that. Yehovah has given me the name Deborah, and it is pronounced  Devorah in Hebrew, with the accent on the final ‘rah’ and so it must be. Yehovah is also pronounced with the accent on the final “vah.”
I personal refuse any variation on my name.  Can you imagine Yehovah how He feels when they have forbidden  pronouncing His Name all together? What a shame! Each of us loves to hear our name called, but we deny our Creator the same right.
Sarai name was changed, together with Abram. He added the "hey" on both names. Yehovah Name has  two “Hey” in His Name. It means something of value, or He would have avoided using them. Each letter is important.
 Names mean something in Hebrew. In our days parents name their children names that have no meaning. It is a shame! But Yehovah gives meaning to every word He has spoken. Every letter is important in the Word. And not only the letters, but their pronunciation.
 Then why the Most Sacred Name has been corrupted by some fearful leaders? How come the rest of the leaders, and their followers, have continued to obey that teaching, until today, but are disobeying their Creator Yehovah?
His Name is being dishonored.
Yehovah dried up the Yarden/Jordan so that people would get to know Him and rever Him. We must not corrupt His Word, or be found guilty in His sight.
“For Yehovah your Elohim[i] dried up the waters of the Yarden before you until you had passed over, as Yehovah your Elohim did to the Sea of Reeds, which He dried up before us until we had passed over, so that all the people of the earth shall know the hand of Yehovah, that it is strong, so that you shall rever Yehovah your Elohim forever.”Yehoshua/Joshua 4:23-24 (HS)
How can we obey our  Elohim Yehovah if we cannot swear by His Name?  Do you know that we are commanded to swear by His Most Holy Name?
 “If you will return, O Israel, “says Yehovah."Return to Me; And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, then you shall not be moved. And you shall swear, “As Yehovah lives; In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; The nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they shall glory.” Yirmeyahu[ii] 4:1-2  
The English translators, including the most revered New King James, follows the perversion and calls Him, “The LORD” instead of the correct Name Yehovah.
Yirmeyahu is calling us to REPENT.
“RETURN, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.” Yirmeyahu 3:2
Return means to repent. It means to turn around from going the wrong direction, and come back to Yehovah.
He goes further…
For thus says Yehovah to the men of Yahudah and Yerushalayim; “Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to Yehovah, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, you men of Yahudah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim, lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.” Yirmeyahu 4:3-4
Yisra’el went into captivity because they did not keep the Sabbath, and other sins. The Temple was destroyed because of sin. Altering and literally changing the Name of Yehovah is a horrible sin, and has its consequences as all sin. His Name must be spoken.  A person cannot remove the vowels to make the Name impossible to be pronounced. The People have been instructed to read Adonai[iii] instead, and the reader supposed to read Adonai, or LORD. THIS IS A LIE. Yehovah has not given anyone the right or authority to remove or to change His Name.
This is the reason in English the translators write “The LORD.” In English the people think and believe that His Name is The LORD! This is a lie. We must unveil this corruption, and choose to obey our Creator by Calling Him by His Correct Given Name YEHOVAH!  King James translators and all translators repent for your doing. Return to your Elohim and stop lying to people.
Yirmeyahu 16:19-21 Oh Yehovah, my strength and my fortress, the Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, worthlessness and unprofitable things.” Will a man make gods for himself, which are not gods? Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they shall know that My name is Yehovah.
I want you to realize that the English New King James translates the correct Name Yehovah as “The LORD.” THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME!
Now you know His Name, and You responsible to call Him by His correct Name.
Now you can swear by His Name in truth. The problem is when people swear by His Name they are lying. This is what vain is all about. We cannot pronounce His Name in vain. Vain in Hebrew is – shav-  which means, “deceit, deceitful, deception, emptiness, empty, false, falsehood and so forth. You understand that when you prevent  pronouncing the Name correctly you are making His Name of no value or useless, deceitful and so forth! You destroy His Name! His Name looses the power. But the power is in His Name, and we cannot call Him by a title and think we are protecting His Name.
His Name is in the Scriptures 6828 times! Do you think Yehovah fears that someone misuses His Name, so He commanded  to hide it after He gave it? NO! He did not say that, but man did that to their detriment! Those who are still obeying the FALSE teaching need to REPENT NOW! The world needs to know His Most Wonderful Name Yehovah. Let us shout it from housetops fearlessly! You must Get rid of the  false devotion, and realize you are corrupting and destroying the most revered Name in the Universe. Stop and Return to Him with all your heart, and experience His Blessings.
There is no Fear of Yehovah anymore in most people. They choose to obey their false teachers instead of Yehovah. Let us pray for their repentance, for Yehovah is a forgiving Elohim. He is ready to forgive when we come to Him in repentance with a very contrite heart. Each of us has sinned, each of us must repent, and we must forgive the sinners. We forgive those who removed the Name from the Bibles, but we cannot obey their rules. We choose to obey only Yehovah and serve him with all our heart. Yehoshua, Yehovah’s only Ben/Son, died and rose again to Redeem us sinners. Let us cry out to Yehovah with a true remorse and true sorrow and receive His forgiveness. Let us receive the cleansing of the Blood of Yehoshua who paid the price in full once and for all. His Blood was shed. Now let us receive His atonement and be at peace. Let us thank Him for giving us a new chance. His love is available to us all. He is our Father, and we are his children. Spend time seeking Him today. Do not forget that this evening begins the Sabbath day of rest.
Shabbat Shalom!
Yehovah El Olam (Yehovah El Everlasting)-Bereshit/Genesis 21:33
Yehovah HaShophet  (Yehovah the Judge) – Shophetim/Judges 11:27
Yehovah  Izuz  Vegibore (Yehovah Strong and Mighty)- Tehillim/Psalm 24:8
Yehovah Elohe Tzevaoat  (Yehovah Elohim of Hosts)- Tehillim/Psalms 89:8
Anochi Yehovah Eloheka (I am Yehovah Your Elohim)-Shemot/Exodus 20:2
Today if you want too, take the time to find out His Name, and change it in your Bible. Do not be afraid to  the correct what is false. Learn to say His most Powerful Name with reverence and holy fear. The Fear of Yehovah has to come back to the church so that we do not destroy His Word, and stop sinning against Him.

THE SINNER WHO LOVED MUCH



 Today as I was editing this little message, from by book, Strings of Pearls, that I am revising, I felt impressed to publish it on this page. Let us not be high minded and think that we are so perfect. We may be able to fool our friends, or everyone around us, but Yehovah knows our hearts.
 And  behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Yehoshua  sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him  weeping, and she began to wash His feet with her tears,  and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Luqas/-Luke 7:37-38
          This woman’s life represents all of us. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Elohim (Romiyim/Romans 3:23).  However, not all of us recognize that we are sinners. This  nameless woman is taught of in the bible as a “sinner” (7: 36-50). That would probably mean that she was a prostitute.   However, she came to  minister to Yehoshua  where He was.  Did she know the Pharisee?  Simon, the Pharisee, knew who she was. Maybe he had had an affair with her before. Yehoshua was not disturbed at all as this sinner went on her knees,  bowed down,  and cried tears of  repentance. She also poured perfumed oil on His feet, and with her long hair wiped Yehoshua’s feet. 
          Simon, the self righteous host,  judged Yehoshua and the sinner in his heart
(v. 39).   We notice that the tears of the sinner did not touch the hardened  Pharisees’ heart.  He acted as many church goers do today. Self righteous and critical. However, Yehoshua knowing what was in his heart, taught  him a lesson with the  parable of the two creditors. Both of  the man could not pay the creditor back what they owe, and he forgave them both  (Luqas/Luke 7:41-42). Then  he asked Simon, “which of them will love him more?” Simon gave the correct answer, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” What would you answer? “Judge not , and your will not be judged, for the same judgment you judge you will be judged , and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”- Mattithyahu/Matthew 7:1-2).
          I firmly believe that Simon understood the lesson. May the love of Yehoshua be in us, and prevent us to cast lots against the repented sinners! May we not be too quick to pass judgment on anyone. For only the Righteous Judge is able to judge correctly. We are all in need of His mercy, and of repentance! Let us bow the knees and cry out for His mercy. Seek Yehovah while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked for sake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to Yehovah, and He will have mercy on Him; and to our Elohim, for He will abundantly pardon. Yeshayahu/Isaiah 55”6-7

KEEPING THE SABBATH DAY HOLY IS A COMMANDMENT


(Part 7)
Today I am going to remind the reader that Sunday is the beginning of the seventh day of the week. It does not matter to Yehovah if you have been taught that the Sabbath is Sunday. He does not care of what your teachers have told you. He cares about the fact that He has given us instructions and you and I must obey them, for the Word will be our judge on the last day.  For if we choose to continue to obey the rules and traditions of men, than He is no longer our Elohim.[i]
We must choose today whom we are going to obey. If we obey Yehovah[ii], He gives us blessings in this life and after; but if we choose to obey the false teachers, then they have become our own god, and we will not be blessed, but we will certainly be under the curse!
 What we choose today, has great consequence in our future; if we do well, we are blessed, if we do not do well, we are cursed. I believe that I have made this matter very clear. Obey Yehovah and be blessed.
I have already mentioned in other messages that the day begins at sundown, not at midnight. We  know that the Shabbat begins on the sixth day after sundown, which is on the pagan evening day called Friday. There are not many rules concerning this day, and we will begin to talk about them today.
Shemot/Exodus 35:1-3 “Then Mosheh[iii] gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, ‘These are the words which Yehovah has commanded you to do:
2 “Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Shabbat of rest to Yehovah. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Shabbat[iv] day.”
What this is saying is that we cannot work on the Shabbat. It is a day or rest unto Yehovah.  The prohibition about kindling the fire, I firmly believe, concerns cooking, which involved collecting wood, and preparing the fire, the food, and cleaning after.  If a person does all these things, cannot rest. The wife usually would be working all day as usual to fix the meals for the family, and she and or the maids would be working. Instead we must prepare the meals the day before, which in reality means to do all these things on the sixth day, and end working before the sun goes down on the sixth day of the week, which is called Friday. By doing this, all the family has the rest needed on the seventh day of the week, which is the Shabbat.
Shemot/Exodus 16:21-30 “So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.
22 “And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Mosheh.
23 The he said to them, “This is what Yehovah has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Shabbat rest, a holy Shabbat to Yehovah. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’
24 So they laid it up till morning, as Mosheh commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it.
25 Then Mosheh said, “Eat that today, or today is a Shabbat to Yehovah; today you will not find it in the field.
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Shabbat, there will be none.”
27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.
28 And Yehovah  said to  Mosheh, ‘How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?
29 See! For Yehovah has given you the Shabbat; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. “
30 So the people rested on seventh day.”
I do not believe that it is very difficult to understand. We must prepare ahead of time. He commands us to take time out. Our bodies need that rest. We cannot waste time cooking, washing  dishes, washing  clothes, washing and cleaning the car, water the yard, cleaning the house, or even shopping;  we will talk about  that also. I must add here that personally lately I have had difficulty keeping the Shabbat while in a friend’s house. She says she keeps the Sabbath day Holy, but she still uses the stove. I drank some tea and ate her soup not thinking that it was not correct for me to do so. But I had to repent after the fact. Therefore now I will not go anywhere on the Shabbat evening even if it is for prayer if I know the family does not keep the Sabbath day Holy. I am glad for the forgiveness I received when I repented because of the shed Blood of Mashiach, but I will stay home from now on. In my house no one breaks the Shabbat when they come for prayer, and I want to keep it that way. Obey Him is more important than relationships.
The Shabbat is a Set Apart Day, a Holy Day unto Yehovah, not Sunday, which is the first day of the week. He has given us this time to be connected with Him in a very special way. We should be grateful to Yehovah for giving us this special time. Why should we disobey? It benefits us. It is for our good, as all the commandments are, and they are not to hurt us or place us into bondage, but to keep us free from the enemy attacks that come through disobedience.  Is meeting with the Creator on weekly bases on HIS TIME, a burden to you?
Frankly, if it is a burden, then I question your relationship with Him!
Once a person begins to keep the Shabbat Day Holy, he or she will never go back to the old ways. That person will experience such rest by the end of the Shabbat that he/she already thinks about celebrating on the next Shabbat! Yes, keeping the Sabbath day holy it is a celebration with our Creator: Yehovah
By keeping the Shabbat we are declaring that Yehovah is more important than all the other activities. He is honored by our obedience, and we place Him in a place of high reverence. By keeping the Sabbath we are declaring that He is indeed number one in our lives. If we disobey this commandment, we are saying that the Torah is outmoded, and He is no longer the same, yesterday, today, and forever. But if we do that, we are deceiving ourselves. If we do not want to keep the Sabbath, then we are breaking the Covenant, and no sense keep the other nine!  He gave us Ten Commandments, and He expects us to obey them. We have to stop obeying the RCC, and Obey Him Instead!
Buying and selling is also not allowed for it takes us away from our time with Him, and keeps us in the realm of the flesh.
Nechemyah/Nehemiah 13:15-22  “In those days I saw people in Judah treading wine presses on the Shabbat, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Yerushalayim/Jerusalem on the Shabbat day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions.
16 Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Shabbat to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Yahudah/Judah, and said to them, ‘What evil things is this that you do, by which you profane the Shabbat day?
18 Did not your fathers do this, and did not our Elohim bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Shabbat.
19 So it was, at the gates of Yerushalayim/Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Shabbat, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Shabbat.  Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Shabbat day.
20 Now the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Yerushalayim/Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Shabbat.
22 And I commanded the Lewites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Shabbat day.”NKJV (I added the correct Hebrew names as I always do)
This passage is self explanatory as all the Scriptures. Yahudah/Judah went into captivity into Babylon because she did not keep the Shabbat. Now they were repeating the same sins. This incident probably took place around the Feast of Sukkoth, which is the time of harvesting the grapes. But we cannot break the Shabbat not matter if it is harvest time or not. Yehovah is the Master of the Harvest, and He is our Provider. The only way we can be blessed is by our obedience.
Buying and selling on the Shabbat is sin. The commandment is for all creation, for every human being, not only for the Jews, or better for the Hebrew descendant of Avraham.
The Jews were not in existent yet as a religious group when Yehovah- created the world. Only Adam existed then, and he taught all his descendents. We are responsible to keep all the 10 commandments, and we cannot anyone of them because we have been taught wrong.
Devarim/Deuteronomy 15:1-2 “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called Yehovah’s release.”
Presently, sadly, the Nation of Yisra’el is not giving the land its Shabbats. I believe if they would obey the commandment they would be blessed, according to the Scriptures. The last Shmitah has begun the 26th of September on the pagan calendar, or sun god calendar. It will end next around the 13th  or 14th day of September.  We have already seen major financial collapse in the last few years. 2007-8 saw the collapse of the stock market, and it happened on Elul 29! I do not want to speak at length on his subject, but you may want to get more information from the experts. The problem is that Yisrael went into captivity because they did not keep this command. America has never kept it, what do you think it is going to happen next year? We do not know, but Yehovah is giving us many warnings. If we add the phenomena of the red moons, you may want to change your ways and begin to serve Yehovah with all your heart, if you do not want to be severely disciplined.
Soon the Messiah, Yehoshua, will return, and then the whole world will be under His authority, and will be obeying Him. But are we all going to be with Him in Yerushalayim?
Let us pray for this commandment to be kept, even in Yisra’el, for we love Israel and want to see her blessed. Let us pray also that your nation and mine would keep the weekly Shabbat, the seven year Shabbat, and the true Jubilee. His blessings will be released to us, if we obey, instead of His discipline.  
It all begins with one individual, than others will also follow. Let us not be fearful of living out our faith. Amen.
Shalom!

Yehovah bless you and keep you,
Yehovah make His Face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
Yehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you Shalom.
(Bemidbar /Numbers 6:24-26)
If you do not know Yehovah as your Creator and His only Son Yehoshua who died for your sin, you can call upon His Name today and be saved.  Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow it could be too late.
If you are Hebrew please pray the following prayer.
“Barukh HaBa ba’Shem YHWH!”  “Blessed is He Who is coming in the Name of YHWH[v]!”
 “…Hoshia-na! “Barukh is He who is coming in the Name of Yehovah! Barukh is the coming reign of our father Dawid – in the Name of Yehovah  Hoshia-na in the highest!”
