House of Shalom

By

In this time of extreme chaos and uncertainty the people of Yehovah can live in His shalom and stability.  As we follow the ancient path our lives and homes are being built on the solid Rock, Yeshua.  Platitudes, handshakes and a weekly short meeting are not going to ensure that the people are fit for what the week ahead holds, let alone fit for the spiritual battle ahead.

The community of our Messiah is a place of strength, support, encouragement, discipline and refinement.  Stone by stone, we are being fit together by the Ruach so that He can fill the house with His presence.  Sometimes it's stone against stone because we as humans find change and refinement difficult, but more often than not it's only our brothers and sisters that can prompt these changes.  

Prayer (video quality pretty ordinary though!) 

Our Messiah not only taught the way of righteousness, He demonstrated and lived the way of righteousness.  Humility and strength, brokenness and profound faithfulness, joy unspeakable and full of kavod.  He came to serve, not be served.  He came to deliver and set free, not gain a crown for Himself in this present age.  He came to do the Father's will and His eye was fixed on the age to come.  We must do and be the same - there is a lot riding on us!

Lift His Name

 Hebron is a unique community property and in the last 20 years this place has produced gold.  People's lives are being refined like gold.  Our fellowship is being refined like gold.  We have found shalom here.  Not a syrupy version of quasi kumbaya peace but a shalom that surpasses understanding.  

We fall - He picks us up.  We cry out - He answers.  We give Him praise and thanks - He rejoices over us.  We weep - He comforts us.  His banner over us is love!

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...

Practical Deeds .... Spiritual Dividends

By
The practical outworkings of our worship and obedience may look different from one individual to another, one family to another or one fellowship to another.  Here at Hebron it's a matter of looking after the land, stock, home and infrastructure to ensure that things are ticking along as they should in a timely manner; creating a refuge and oasis, now and for the future.  This week the flock were treated to some mineral blocks, which will provide necessary salts and minerals that they need to remain in tip top shape while they're lambing in the summer months.  The smaller top dam is well and truly dry but this would be the perfect time to get the tractor in there and dig it deeper, which would also have the bonus of providing good dirt for the vegie patch.  This dam is not spring fed so having it deeper would provide more water for next summer, provided it fills during the winter months. The vegie patch, or as I prefer to call it at times, the battlefie...

Reflections

By
2 Samuel 7:18  Then King David went in and sat before YHVH, and he said, "Who am I, Sovereign YHVH, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?" There are times when it's good to look back and reflect on the journey thus far.  These moments highlight the provisions of YHVH, the encouragements of community, the lessons learnt and the growth we have experienced.  Who indeed is this little community family that YHVH would consider us and provide for us this way?  As part of this reflection of our Hebron journey I thought I'd pop up some photos of the journey - I think you'll be surprised when you look back at how the property looked when we first took ownership.  Some people have come and gone, goals and projects have evolved but what remains consistent is the original purpose and vision for Hebron.   From Anunaka to Hebron.  The previous name of the property was itself a sign to us, confirming the scripture that YHWH gave...
