Ravens & Eagles

By
It's such an awe-inspiring thing to watch the wedge-tailed eagles circling over Hebron's hills.  They don't always come and visit but on the weekend it was great to see them do their rounds.  I always feel very blessed to be living here to see YHWH's creatures come and go.  An old man 'roo took his time to watch me go about my chores and we discussed how great Hebron is looking and what our plans are for the future.  Well I discussed and he listened.
Would love to say I took this photo but I didn't :)
There's been quite a lot of bird activity lately and it's so rewarding to know that all the trees we've planted is creating a welcoming habitat.  There's been kestrels and magpies fighting over territory, a new bird that I haven't identified but has a lovely whistle, quails, swallows, willy wagtails, honey eaters, galahs, ravens, ducks, cockatoos, kookaburras, wattle birds, top knot pigeons, lorikeets, parrots and finches.  On a sunny morning there's nothing better than to sit outside with a cuppa waiting to see who will come and visit.

On Sunday I had great intentions to plant the lucerne trees but decided to create a garden bed at the laundry/carport entrance and lay some gravel instead.  I'm glad I did because the change is very satisfying, even though it's more for my pleasure than yours :)  Still a work in progress but I'll sow grass seed, lay more gravel and it will be a nice entrance.  I better not delay as I need to get the grass grown before the winds come and relocate the dirt!  The sides of the house become wind tunnels when the spring winds start to blow.  I also want to finish doing the other side of the house so that come Sukkot we've got a protected and functional barbeque area. 

With Sukkot only a couple of months away I'm looking forward to seeing Hebron blossom with people, prayers, praise, flowers, lambs and laughter.  Every year the importance and significance of keeping YHWH's moed increases for us and every year our Father reveals more of His truth and wonder.  These times together, joining with the commonwealth of Israel, celebrating His redemption and promises must bring Him great pleasure and we in turn are richly blessed.

There is great wisdom in the admonition to gather together during this special shabbats and we ignore them at our peril.  Whether we're able to gather with our own families, with two's, three's or large assemblies, there is great encouragement and blessing to be had.  The enemy of our souls is forever roaming around trying to distract,discourage, destroy and deceive, therefore our obedience is for our protection and advantage.  So I look forward to our times together at the upcoming moed here at Hebron with my fellow pilgrims.

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...
