My Faith

Faith is loaded deal, right? We say we’re one thing, but then disagree with so many who use the same label. Even when we’re sitting in a room or seemingly “like-minded” individuals, we always find something to disagree about.

So, just to get started out, I want to share with you what it is I believe.

I am a Bible believing, Yahuah (God) fearing woman. I believe He sent His Son Yeshuah (Jesus) to be the Messiah to die for ALL man’s sins (John 3:16). I believe that sin is defined in the Bible as lawlessness (1 John 3:4), which means doing anything that breaks anything God told us to do or not to do. This means that the Old Testament is STILL valid. We have to have a strong knowledge of what is in the Old Testament to understand what it is Jesus died for in the New Testament. I believe that should any man, woman, or child confess with their mouth and truly believe in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, they will be saved (Romans 10:9).

But I do not believe that one can continue in a life of lawlessness and be truly saved. I believe that once a person in indwelt by the Holy Spirit, he or she can’t just go on living a life of chasing the things of this world. I believe that a person should have the desire to live a life of obedience to God’s Teachings. I believe we should give up earthly/ manmade traditions. And I could go down all of the rabbit holes of why we are stepping away from manmade traditions and holidays, but in short, my husband and I simply no longer believe that they are honoring to The Creator. If you celebrate these manmade holidays, that is okay! I am not telling anyone to do what I do, we are just doing what we feel we are called to and what is best for our own family.

My family and I have been on a path to find the actual truth, Yah’s Truth. Man has taken away and added too much for me to be comfortable following any denomination’s doctrine. My goal for my relationship with Yeshuah Messiah is to only seek His Word and throw away all manmade doctrine. I want to ONLY follow what is taught in Yah’s Word (** side note for clarification- I do believe using proper names is important, however, I am still new to it and will probably continue using both. I am trying to be better about using the real names, but at the end of the day, those are hairs I’m not willing to split at this moment in my journey).

When we toss out what man has made of this, it is astonishing to realize just how much we believe that isn’t even in the Bible. There are a ton of deep topics that usually come up with this thought process. And my goal for this blog is not to get that deep, UNLESS someone reaches out to me on a more personal level.

With that said, because of this path we are on, I will mainly be discussing Yah’s Feasts and Sabbath and just good ol’ inspiration. We are still learning these things and what the mean. This year, we kept our first Spring Feasts, and they were so lovely. They truly were a beautiful experience.

Philippians 2:12 tells us that we must each work out our own salvation. It is up to each of us to study this out and find the path we are meant to be on. …and speaking of paths, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. -Matthew 7:13-14 kjv It sounds to me like living a willy-nilly, “do whatever you want” type of life is the broad way, but that’s just me.

Yeshuah (Jesus), Himeself, told us in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.”

I do not believe our salvation is tied up in commandments and feasts. However, I do believe that Yah’s commandments and His Feasts are the best way to remain obedient and the Feasts are the best way to keep our hearts prepared for the things still yet to come.

May Yahuah keep you and bless you, may He make His face shine upon you!
