And of levi he said.Let thy Thummin and thy Urim be with the holy one
whom thou didst prove at massah and with whom thou didst strive at the
waters of Meribah,Who said unto his father and to his mother,I have not
seen him neither did he acknowledge his brethren,nor knew his own
children,for they have observed thy word and kept thy covenant.They
shall teach jacob thy judgement and Israel thy law.they shall put
incense before thee and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
Bless LORD his substance and accept the work of his hands,smite
through the loins of them that rise against him and of them that hate
him,that they rise not again.Deut.33;8,9,10,11
May YAH,the everlasting father give you enough will to go through and
do the work that has to be done in spirit.Nough will fight you and talk
bad about you,but you dont jump into the evil way to
destroy(Gen.49;5-7) because Yeshua the messiah did leave HIS peace with
us.
Join your brethren and sistren because unity is strenth and only united
we will stand.Divided we will fall!!!One for all and all for
one;operating in that manner there will be no failure!!
Keep up Gadmans vision.And never forget"Repatriation is a must!!!!!!!!!!"
Have a blessed and sunny and great Levi month!!!I love you Israel!!!!!
Greetings, happy Ashermonth with enough love and understanding.YAH bless!!!!!
Charity and Love are more than words. Their meaning goes all the way to the Creator thru our lord and Saviour Yeshua the messiah. The father is Love,and Love is Charity,so when we give charity and love, We are sharing the father within us with others. The human view of charity is to give voluntarily to others in need. That need could be physical,spiritual,mental,material. The view that charity begins at home implies that if you can express Love and charity to the closest to you: then it puts you in a better Position to help others outside the home. So,if Love is lacking in the home,it is harder to express it outside the home. We must not personalize love. Love is the Most High,so it should flow freely to ALL men. When we pick and choose who to help,and who not to help: There exists unbalance! H.I.H.
Greetings Israel, may the moon of Dan help strengthen your back in faith through Christ Yeshua.Lift up your head and wear proud your crown of good works in faith.How hard anyone try them cant take away your part.The evil are judged already by the everlasting father.May the father help you to give right judgement and may HE protect you from the evil judgement of man.YAH bless you. Keep up Gadmanwork!!!
Greetings Israel, may YAH bless you in this month of Levi!Let YAH will be done. Unity amongst the brethren and sistren is a must!!!Join together in peace and harmony!!Help gather the last sheeps out of the west. Help Zere Yacob to create a place for we!!!!!ONE in the Christ Yeshua!!
Greetings Israel, The moon of Simeon is giving his power. May YAH bless you and cover you with HIS merciful love. It has been said "Ears them have and dont hear",so lets pray to our father that HE gives us strength to hear. Keep the FAITH!!!
