Dear brothers and sisters,

This past Sabbath, March 29/2025 was yet another memorable day in the presence of Yah. HalleluYah!!

In the early hours of our afternoon, my family and I were gathered together for our daily Bible reading. This time we covered Num.11 which details an event that occurred after the Israelites left Egypt – their land of slavery. We are told that, after some time of the Israelites eating manna every day, that the people began to grumble against Moses. They told him how they missed the cucumbers, the leeks, the melons and how their bellies now craved meat. Imagine that, after 400 plus years in bondage, instead of being thankful to Yah for delivering them with His mighty hand and outstretched arm, and look forward to the land of their inheritance, that they were more concerned about their bellies and comfort.

As we sat there reading, I asked Yah if He could draw a parallel for me on how this story applies to us today. The Holy Spirit ministered to me that this is what frequently happens when people leave their “spiritual” Egypt, meaning their bondage to sin. Instead of focusing on how to please Yah so that He will graciously guide them to their Promised Land, they stop to look back and recall the days before they came to Christ. Instead of being thankful and embracing their new life, although often difficult and lonely, they engage in fantasizing about their old lifestyles when they lived as rebels to Yah and start missing the things they were accustomed to.

This is a reminder for all of us to keep our eyes on Yahshua; to not look back and crave the things we used to do when we lived in sin, away from Yah’s grace and knowledge. This is also a warning not to grumble or complain if this life may be more difficult, isolated, full of hardships, thistles and thorns. Because in so doing, we will forfeit our spiritual rest just like the Israelites during the time of Moses.

1 Cor.10:10 And do not grumble, as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel.

Heb.3:7-11 So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, 9 where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. 10 That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ 11 So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

While we read about Yah pouring manna from heaven, the Holy Spirit said, “ONCE MORE WILL I RAIN MANNA FROM HEAVEN”.
And just like the people of Israel showed contempt for it in their days and during the time of Yahshua – the bread of life- they will once more reject it!

Then I retreated into my Secret Place where I received the rest of this message.

During prayer, the Holy Spirit said that Yah can see each of us, His Army Warriors, from heaven, shining brightly for Him. He said we are shining brighter than the Sun. Then He asked me what would happen if one was to look directly at the Sun. I answered Him that the person would be blinded. He said that that’s what happens when people see us: they’re blinded. They cannot reflect the light that radiates from us if their hearts are full of darkness. Instead, they fall into an even greater state of darkness. He said that the more we shine, the more the world hates us because it cannot recognize us as its own. Therefore, the more we reflect Yah, the greater the hatred. People do not have the mind of Christ.

Then the Holy Spirit said:

MY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING BACK, REMINISCING THE LEEKS AND MELONS OF EGYPT. THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH I HAVE SET THEM FREE AND EVEN TOLD THEM THAT A RETURN TRIP TO EGYPT IS ONE THEY SHOULD NEVER MAKE AGAIN. I HAVE THEIR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART; NO ONE LOVES THEM LIKE I DO. BUT THEY GRIEVE ME DAY AND NIGHT, ASKING ME IF I CAN ALSO PROVIDE THEM MEAT. CAN I? WHAT DO YOU THINK!? MY HAND HAS NOT SHORTENED. IT IS YOUR SINS THAT SEPARATE US.

Then He led me to Rom.11. Verse 8 says, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day.”

How ironic that the multitudes have been taught how this verse concerns the people who currently live in the state of Israel and they don’t realize it’s actually about them!

Verse 10 says, “May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

Yah is going to make some of our brethren jealous when Yahshua’s fullness comes upon us so they will seek Yah to eventually receive it also.

Phil.2:14-16 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labour for nothing.

Yah is going to entrust His Army to bring in His harvest and offer it before Him.

Rom.11:16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Isa.66:20 And they will bring all your brothers, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them as the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.

Then the amazing Holy Spirit gave me this revelation: how in the case of a first birth, a baby paves the way for other siblings from the mother’s womb into the light. Similarly, Yah’s firstfruits are birthed first and go ahead to pave the way for their brethren.

Yah has blinded the minds of our brethren for a time until we are birthed first – Christ, the firstfruits and then everyone else.

Rom.8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

All the talking, pleading and teaching we have done to stimulate some of our brethren to seek Yah for themselves, so they can glean their own revelations, uncover biblical mysteries and find answers to their questions, has fallen on deaf ears. The reason is because they’re still in their spiritual “Egypt”. Though they think they have left, they have not. The proof of that is that they continue to live the way they always have, gratifying the desires of their flesh. All this will serve Yah’s greater plan which is first to reap His Firstfruits “barley” harvest and then, the greater “wheat” harvest.
Yah said that their hearts are still uncircumcised; they don’t know the pain of the true spiritual circumcision because they’ve never suffered separation, the cutting of the foreskin of their hearts.

I felt the commitment of Yah’s Army: how they bow to His orders. No complaining, no arguing, no tantrums, no making Him repeat Himself, no mouthing off, no disrespect, no irreverence. Just obedience. These hearts have been inscribed with Yah’s finger. They cannot be moved nor persuaded. They are grafted into Yahshua, receiving His nourishing sap. Faces like flint, strong arms and legs. The power of the Holy Elohim residing in our temples. He said that He is going to be glorified again through us.

Lastly, I prayed asking Father if, when we receive the infilling of His Spirit, His Word will fully dwell in us, every verse, every command. That’s when the Holy Spirit reminded me of the parable of the talents and impressed upon me how it is now the time when Yah will check to see if we have put ours to good use. For those who have multiplied them, He will assign even more. Then He said, “REMEMBER THE 2 FISH AND THE 5 LOAVES? THEY WERE ENOUGH TO FEED 5000 MEN PLUS WOMEN AND CHILDREN.” WOW!! That’s Yah’s timetable!! HalleluYah!

Finally, the Holy Spirit said, “I WILL GIVE YOU ENOUGH BREAD TO FEED THE MULTITUDES. HE WHO HAS BEEN FAITHFUL WITH LITTLE, WILL BE ENTRUSTED WITH MUCH!!”

Shalom!!
