Yom Teruah

By
The month of set apart days has begun with a blast and a shout.  Isn't this so much better than christian Christmas and Easter!  Those of us who were able gathered at Christine's house for a time of joyous noise, shofar blasts, scripture readings, discussion and a meal.  These times are so precious and meaningful and I always leave with a sense of purpose and peace.

Shofars, shouts of joy, instruments and Yakira's silver trumpet

Here at Hebron we have a little visitor who has decided to settle into the house paddock for the night, and I really hope she's there in the morning.  As I was coming up from the bottom dam I was surprised by a young deer making her way down to the middle paddock.  The only deer I've seen in these parts was a big stag in the middle of the road one night - Bonnie will be able to tell you about that one! - so I'm not sure where she's come from.

Another not so welcome event is the annual march of the millipedes.  Nothing and no one is safe. Wonder if there's something that would find them yummy!

On my drive around the property today I discovered that the small black tank on top of the hill had been blown down to the bottom of the paddock in last week's big wind, so that will be a job for you blokes when you're up here next.

Two more weeks and Hebron will be filled with the noise of celebrations and fellowship.  Each year we modify and tweak how we celebrate and function and each year our appreciation and understanding of this very important feast of Sukkot develops.  All visitors and fellow lovers of torah and Yehovah's ways welcome!

    Annette - great update... and I can help you out with a solution to the millipedes! Baysol Snail & Slug bait - little blue pelletts - I routinely sprinkle them around the house perimeter (and inside as required). Knocks them out real good...

    I don't think anything actually eats them ... which is a shame, but can't say I blame them ;-)

    I wonder if ducks would find them appetising?

Unleavened Bread - 2024

By
For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual.  It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth.  We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back.  No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words.  The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us.  It was truly a blessed time together.  Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt.  However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Shalom with Messiah

By
In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
