He Provides Rain for the Earth....

By

After an extremely dry autumn we have had an abundance of rain this last month.  When we experience a dry season it's always a reminder that it is only the Creator who sends the rain and it falls on the righteous and the unrighteous.  We are dependent on Him for every breath, every drop of rain and every dollar that we earn. There are ups and downs, good seasons, dry seasons, a time for joy and a time for mourning, but above all He is good and His lovingkindness endures forever.


Great is our Adonai and mighty in power
His understanding is infinite


Here at Hebron the lambing season is progressing well, although we have lost a couple of  lambs to foxes, which are particularly numerous this year.  We are going to have to get a few shooters out to deal with the growing numbers of rabbits and foxes unfortunately.

YHVH upholds the humble
He brings the wicked to the ground
We will be welcoming the Parker family to Hebron shortly, who are relocating to South Australia from Victoria.  It is quite a remarkable story how Yehovah has linked our hearts with them again after so many years and we look forward to seeing them settle in and find their own patch of dirt that has been set aside for them.  One thing is for sure, life is never static here at Hebron.


Sing to YHVH with thanksgiving
Sing praises to our Elohim on the harp 

Soon we will be coming together to celebrate Yom Teruah and our hearts and minds will have an opportunity to be refocused, and let's be honest, a moed is always a great excuse to celebrate His goodness and wisdom.






He covers the sky with clouds
He provides rain for the earth
He makes grass sprout on the hills


I have a picture in my mind of a day in the future where many groups of messianic believers come together to celebrate the moedim and we'll have times of praise, worship and fellowship.  Maybe these will be held here at Hebron?  A subject that is close to my heart, and a regular soap-box topic, is the role, purpose and oft-times misuse of music in times of fellowship and the moedim.  It's obviously a strong feature in the scriptures so I feel a little justified in maintaining my stance.

He gives food to the cattle and to the ravens who cry.
He delights not in the horse's strength, nor takes pleasure in a man's legs 



I had a really interesting conversation with Gwen a month or two ago and it has stirred me to write my thoughts down so I'll post a separate blog focusing on this really important topic.  It's not purely Hebron focused but hey, praise is a vital element of our times together up here.



YHVH delights in those who revere Him
in those who trust in His lovingkindness.  Psalm 47:5-11

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...
