WHO MADE THE FIRST MOVE? HOW?

Well, He made the first move when He sent His only begotten Son to be the Savior of this world. :) This is why we love Him so much, because He first loved us and we have known and believed the love that God has towards us: for God is love, and he that dwells in love, dwells in God, and God in him.



WHO'S GOING TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH?

There won't be any trash to take out :) In my Father's house there are many many mansions and nothing unclean will ever enter that city. No one who does shameful things or tells lies will ever enter that city. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life, will enter that great city.



WHAT WAS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE DATE?

The day of Pentecost :) We were given the promise of the Father about a week prior when the Lord breathed on us and told us to receive His Holy Spirit. He then told us to remain in Jerusalem until we received power from on high, so that we'd be His witnesses, both in Jerusalem and Judaea, and Samaria and to the farthest points of the earth.

So we gathered together in a room upstairs with one accord and continued in prayer, earnestly waiting for the out pouring of the Holy Spirit. When the day of Pentecost came, we were all still together in the same place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole room where we were sitting!! We all saw cloven tongues like as of fire, that rested upon each of us. We were finally filled with power from on high, as we were promised and spoke in many languages, as the Spirit gave us utterance.

That day remains one of our favorite memories because it marked the very beginning of the true and authentic set-apart Church and established our ministry of reconciliation as ambassadors for our Messiah. For this promise is also to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.

This was that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'



WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY TOGETHER?

...singing on high, making melody and harmonious glorious sounds in worship :) Absolutely love praising the Most High and the Lamb of God because through Christ Jesus, both Judaeans and Gentiles now have access by one Spirit to the Father and He is holy, who inhabits the praises of His saints!

In the household of God, we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets — Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone, in whom the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord: in whom we are also being built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.



WHERE ARE YOU GOING FOR YOUR HONEYMOON?

To mount Zion :) A great and high mountain; the great city, the holy Jerusalem! It will descend out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Its radiance will be similar to a most rare jewel, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

It has a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and inscribed on the gates, the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel — on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The twelve gates each have a single pearl on them, and the streets of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass. There is no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb. What's really amazing is that the city has no need for a sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God gives the city light, and the Lamb is the light of it!



WHAT'S THE BEST MEAL YOU HAVE EATEN TOGETHER?

The bread of Life :) This is that bread that came down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. The Messiah is the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, they will live forever; and the bread that He gives is His flesh, which He gives for the life of the world.

This is true: unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Jesus is the Word made flesh. He is that bread of life: so anyone that comes to Him will never hunger; and anyone that believes on Him will never thirst. For His flesh is food indeed, and His blood is drink indeed.

Remember the Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you, do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.



WHAT'S THE MOST MEMORABLE TRIP YOU HAVE TAKEN TOGETHER?

A sister in Christ shares:

Traveling to Atlanta, GA, by bus, during one of the most trying seasons of my life to assist a sister with her start-up. I never traveled to a city by bus before and my journey felt like I literally entered into a war zone: Atlanta's no joke. Yet, it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had yet. Whatever we intended to do seem to have the favor of God's hand upon it: from creative direction, to the production shoot, to networking events, and even choosing places to dine, it was divinely appointed. I truly thank God for my sister inviting me to step out on faith with her.

On my way home, I had a 5-6 hour standby at the bus station. As I mentally adjusted and settled in, four of the most kindest, brightest, most inquisitive, friendliest young people I had ever met, decided to sit by me. One was in the air-force, in either her sophomore or junior year of college, and had a mouth like a sailor yet she was brilliant. Another sat to my left and was very gentle, and quiet but very discerning and meek.

To my right, sat a young man with a canon or nikon camera hanging from his neck. He pondered and asked some of the most insightful questions, having just witnessed the day prior, someone being murdered right at the entry of that bus station. He said he liked my voice and was drawn to my words. Praise God, he seemed to really like the things I had to say concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ (Yahusha ha'Mashiach). He opened up admitting he dabbled in Rastafarianism but also confessed he wrestled with anger and rage and was seeking answers to help. He was perceptive and cognoscente of his surroundings and yet nurturing to those in need as well. I noticed he was quasi-protective and tender towards a young lady who sat to his right.

She appeared to be afflicted with a mental illness (schizophrenia) and often routinely walked to the bathroom while speaking to herself. Many looked upon her, as she was a beautiful young lady but as most do, they were distant: minding their own business. I noticed her pacing back and forth and immediately felt compassion for her, as my brother also suffered from mental illness. So I reached into my carry-on, pulled out a clean shirt and followed her into the ladies room. Before she went into a stall, I gave her my shirt and she kindly received it and put it on with a smile. I was so grateful because hers was old, worn out and way too small.

Time past as our small group conversation grew. I noticed security guards drawing near to stand by us, just to listen and ask about my faith in the Messiah. I also saw a young man who seemed to be afflicted by a spirit of homosexuality, draw near to find a seat. I acknowledged him with a smile, as I knew it was the love of Jesus drawing them all. If Christ be lifted up, He will draw all people to Himself. It's amazing. I had no agenda; no expectation; no idea where the Lord was leading me on this trip. I just went to help a dear sister but ended up meeting a few parched souls, with whom I was blessed to share living waters with :)



WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT

...what's important to us: souls, the love of God manifest through our testimony of Jesus, proclaiming the everlasting Gospel of the Kingdom, trusting in the name of the Son of God, spending time together as a Family, loving one another and freely giving what we have freely received: to the meek, the poor, the needy, the sick, the brokenhearted, the depressed, the rejected, the cast-aways, the prisoners, the captives, the abused, the mis-fits and whoever else is in need.



THE MOST SPONTANEOUS THING WE'VE DONE

...that moment you realize: the world may win some but they just lost one :) Leaving the old life behind to follow & win Christ!



THE DORKIEST THING ABOUT US IS

...we actually believe Jesus is literally who He said He is: the divine Son of God who came out from God. He who came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Even the devils believe there is only one God and tremble at the name of the Son of the Most High.

He never walked the streets of Galilee teaching that He is God Almighty or that He is 'the second manifestation of god the father'. He never taught that His Father is a 'triune godhead' either, nor did He speak blasphemously of being 'the second person of a trinity'.

Neither did the prophets of old ever prophesy the God of Israel as a 'heavenly trio' or 'three persons in one'. The apostles of Jesus Christ never taught nor consented to such unwholesome words concerning the doctrine, according to godliness. Why? Because He told us, 'If a man love Me, he will keep My words (or 'My sayings' or 'My commandments') and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.'

Our Messiah said only those things which He heard His Father say and He did those things which He saw His Father do. This is how much the Messiah trusted His Father: He truly surrendered to Him in all things. Therefore it is the Messiah that came from above, who is above all: but he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He that comes from heaven is above all [the Son of God]. And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies and no man receives His testimony. Yet he that has received His testimony has set to his seal that God is true.

For He whom God has sent [Jesus Christ; Yahusha ha'Mashiach] speaks the words of God and has greatly honored His Father, declaring His Father is greater than He and always did the things which pleased Him. In like manner, He also made us sufficient ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life. So we are bold in our God to speak the Gospel to you, seeing that we were once unlearned and ignorant of these things, but now possessing such hope, we use great plainness of speech.



WE ARE REGULARS AT

...following the Lamb, wherever He goes.

To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him. For Jesus said it Himself, "But I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

The world has not known the Father except the Lord Jesus, and all things have been handed over to our Lord by His Father. So no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except His Son — and to whom ever the Son wills, or intends, or desires to reveal Him. Therefore, we believe that the Father sent His Son to give us eternal words of Life which He has given to His Son, and we fully receive them (and no one else's words). We now know, for sure, that the Messiah came out from God (as His only begotten divine Son) and we believe on His Son as the Scripture has said, and out of our belly flows rivers of living water. So we do testify, that whom the Son sets free: is free indeed!

The first man Adam was made a living soul, the Last Adam was made a [life-giving] quickening Spirit. The first man is of the earth, earthy, the second man is the Lord from heaven — now, the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty :)



TEACH US SOMETHING ABOUT

...the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.

For it is given to us to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to mockers and scoffers and vain talkers, it's not given. God has chosen us to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles — which is Christ in you, the hope of glory!



WE TAKE PRIDE IN

...the Faith of and in the Name of the Son of God. The fact that we know who we worship: for salvation is of the Judaeans. But the hour has come, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father is looking for those who will worship Him this way. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth — that is, in Christ Jesus!

So we boast in that we truly understand and know God, because Christ is come and has given us an understanding. For God does not call [invite] many who are wise according to worldly standards, or who are powerful, or of a high or noble birth. No, but He has chosen the foolish things of this world to put to shame the wise, and the weak things of this world to put to shame the things which are strong. God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are: so that no flesh will glory in His presence.

And because of Him we are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, that, according as it is written, he that glories, let him glory in the Lord! We take pride in knowing that we have eternal life because we believe on the Name of the Son of God, in which He inherited from His Father and through which we inherit from His Son. So it's an absolute joy to know and intimately fellowship with both our Father, the only true God and eternal life, as well as His Son who lives within us, and has given us this understanding that only He can give.
