Pesach 2021

By

 The blessing of coming together to celebrate Pesach and Unleavened Bread at Hebron was only tempered by the fact that not everyone who are part of the Healing to the Nations fellowship could be there.  Those who were unwell or unable to come were deeply missed.

I, in particular, thoroughly enjoyed preparing the room and meal with dear friends.  There was a lovely sense of shalom and fellowship over the entire weekend.

 As we read scripture, gave thanks, drank the cup and ate the matzah we were keenly aware that this was not only a powerful reminder that Yeshua is the Messiah who came, suffered and defeated death but is more importantly a prophetic declaration that He will come again to rule and reign from Jerusalem.  Hallelu Yah!   
Over the years it has become popular in some Messianic fellowships to have a feet washing ritual at Pesach and yes, Yeshua did wash the feet of the disciples and taught them the true nature of leadership - to humbly serve and love. 
But as John shared at the meal, this powerful demonstration and last teaching of Yeshua is not a ritual, a once-off, it's an essential heart attitude that has to be expressed in service to the bride.  Our human nature needs a constant reminder to fix our gaze on the day that is to come and continually allow the Ruach to reveal the leaven in our lives that needs to be repented of and removed.

Wrong attitudes, unrighteous actions, unscriptural beliefs and values all need to be rooted out to allow the Word of Life to fill us.  This process can be confronting but the richness of walking in the Truth that sets us free is beyond compare.

Sharing in the Pesach meal at Hebron with the community that YHVH has drawn together is a blessing that far surpasses anything that this world could imitate.

 Shalom

Joy Comes in the Morning

By
  For over a year South Australia and Victoria have been in drought.  Dams are dry, crops have failed and trees are dying.   When the community bought the property 19 years ago we invested in sinking a bore to ensure water security.  The water quality is good enough to water the stock and our gardens.  We also have large rainwater tanks which have kept water to the house.  However, if the drought had of continued we would have hooked the house up to the bore water as well.    We had stored enough hay to feed our sheep and alpacas and they were well fed.  Investment in the infrastructure has been a big expense in both finances and labour over the years, but it's in years like this that it's well worth it.  It brings so much joy to see the green grass and gardens when the paddocks are bare and dry.   Praise YHVH, the rains came last week!   We have received 40ml over the last couple of weeks and more is on the...

Pesach 2025

By
It was such a blessing for our community to come together at Hebron  for the Pesach meal and the first day of unleavened bread.   We are not a big community in the Adelaide Hills but we are testifying that  Yeshua is the Messiah and walking in His ways.  There are so many individuals or families that don't have a Messianic fellowship that they can be part of because of geographic distances - or even theological distances.  Our desire is to see Messianic fellowships form and develop in many more parts of Australia so that the sheep of His pasture are fed, nurtured and protected. The Good News of Messiah and His kingdom has been hidden and misconstrued since the early times but the Ruach is revealing truth - the truth that sets His people free.      So as we come together in obedience to observe the moed, whether it's a couple here or a big fellowship over there, we are encouraged and built up in Him as we run the race that He has set before ...

Where Your Treasure Is.....

By
Life has changed for our community and we are now split between two geographic locations - Salem and Mildura - with a few of us coming and going between them.   When the scripture says we are an 'unusual people', that certainly has an added layer for our community!      We are full of anticipation of what YHVH will pour out for the people of Australia, particularly the towns along the Murray River and Victoria.     But coming home to Hebron is always so good for the soul. Open skies - Open spaces   So lovely to see water in the top dam, grass emerging and  paddocks been sown for this year's hay crop.     I have been reflecting more on the truth and freedom of Yeshua's command:   Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth,  where moth and rust destroy,  and where thieves break in and steal.   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust destroys,  and whe...
