Eclipse, New Moon and Encouragements

By
Last week we witnessed the solar eclipse, which of course occurred on this month's new moon.  What a brilliant testament to coming reign of our coming King!  This week we have also been keeping up to date with the news from Israel and being prayerful on her behalf.  These events remind us that these are indeed the last days and we are to remain alert and prepared.

Trees and infrastructure - fruits of our labour

As the days ahead get more difficult we know that Hebron will become a source of provision and refuge, so we continue to be faithful to the vision that Yehovah has set before us, knowing that He provides all the resources, energy and capacity.

This week Brendan was given free piping and grow beds for our aquaponics projects.  This has been a long term project and to date we haven't been able to get it underway, however, we now have all the infrastructure necessary to complete the project.  Probably after summer we will be able to get this underway.  Aquaponics is the perfect solution to producing vegetables in our dry climate. 

Cactus in full bloom
Today we Pikes visited a homeschooling family who have a 50 acre property at Cromer.  They have a very similar vision to ourselves and are working hard to develop their property to become productive and a source of provision to those who will need it in the days ahead.  It was very encouraging for them and us as we shared experiences, vision and scriptural understandings.  How wonderful to know that only 15 minutes down the road there is a family being faithful to His leadings as well.





The kitchen counter is coming along and this week I'll complete it with a coat of paint and the skirting boards.  I'm looking forward to this being completed so I can start on the tiling.  I will also get a local cabinetmaker to make two doors to go over the rangehood and then voila, all done.


The young doe has come back to visit and I see her occasionally up at the house early in the morning or down by the dam.  She's so skittish but it's lovely to see her when she does venture up close to the house.

Next weekend we will be doing a bit of work around the place.  Soon it will be scorching hot so these milder days are more productive and enjoyable for everyone who comes up.  Just remember to bring your hats, boots and sock protectors!

Shalom

    Hello Hebron affiliates!
    Nathan from Zarephath here. We had a fun time with you on Sunday, sharing our thoughts and visions for the future.
    We look forward to further fellowship and a look around your place some time.

    It is very encouraging to come across another community of believers who have not forgotten the reminder / warning from Jeremiah 6.
    v16: Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'

    How can we say we are set apart unto God if we are totally dependant on this evil culture to stay alive?
    The ancient ways of doing things have been cast aside by western consumer culture, but there is a faithful remnant who have not forgotten the promises of Jehovah nor the way to salvation through His son Jesus. It's a blessing to know there are a group of you trying to come out from dependance on the world just around the corner!
    Blessings,
    Nathan

      Good to 'see' you again Nathan. This is certainly a challenging path to to venture down isn't it, but He who calls us is surely faithful to sustain and provide for us. How blessed are we all to be set apart to this lifestyle and vision. Certainly looking forward to connecting with other like-minded believers who have obeyed the call as Yehovah directs us all in the future.

      Blessings to you, Joy and the clan.

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!

Leaves of the tree are for the healing...

Over a year ago Yakira and I dreamt of how Hebron's fellowship house could  be updated and better suited to how we functioned as a messianic community.    We could see a fellowship room that had room to easily accommodate people and all the instruments.  Of course there had to be room to wave branches during Sukkot and the odd flag or two as well!  Being of the creative ilk we also wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and could see the HTTN logo painted on a wall.   The design of the logo has evolved over time to reflect the mandate that YHVH has set for this part of His body in Adelaide.  Sonya devoted many hours to bring to life the visual expression of that mandate and Yakira redesigned the logo.    Why so much attention to a logo and visual expression of the mandate?  Because we as a community of torah-loving disciples of Messiah Yeshua have hearts that hold dreams and promises that are bigger than us as individuals or even co...

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...
