This teaching on the 6th Commandment dives into the lives of Cain and Abel. The spirit of Cain is in the earth today, yet those of the Abel spirit are alive and well. As Elohim's chosen people, we were created to love and be loved. Where there is a lack of love for the household of Elohim, there will be evidence of lawlessness/disobedience. Like Cain, we must ask ourselves.. are we holding a grudge against love? How often do we murder our brothers and sisters through our lack of love for them? Is the offering I present to Father offered in faith or by dead works alone? What will it take to close the door to sin!

What does it mean to honor our parents? Listen in on this teaching as Derek shares the importance of preserving our parents dignity (Commandment 5) while at the same time not putting our family before Elohim (Commandment 1). How do we view family in these last days? Why did Father tell Ezekiel not to mourn for his wife (Ezekiel 24)? Listen in on the discussion and find out!

An intimate time around the throne, speaking about the Day of Atonement.

Speaking at a Camp Meeting at the PTC, Derek shares an introduction to the 7 Festivals of Yahuweh - The plan of salvation.

Listen, as we relook at Matthew 16 and the passage regarding denying oneself, taking up his cross and following Him. To deny oneself - what does that mean? This message is dedicated to a dear friend who just passed into glory. Tony - your testimony changed my life!

What does it truly mean to trust in Elohim (God)? What is the difference between trust and faith? Psalm 22:9-10 - a clinging security - that is our bond with our Creator!

Recorded from the Friday night Hebrew Heritage Bible study, this broadcast was a very special time in the presence of the Master. This is the 4th Commandment in our studies of the 10 Commandments - Exodus 20:8-11. The weekly day of rest is the thread that weaves the tapestry of the salvation plan for His family. Shabbat (from sunset on Friday evening to sunset on Saturday evening) is the key ingredient in the recipe of salvation. Without understand it, without adhering to it, the remaining seven festivals will unravel at the seams. The plan will have little value in the lives of those who expect salvation without obedience.

This message is a very personal message - one of care and affection and of love. When we love Elohim (God) with all of our heart, it is natural to never want to do anything that would bring His sweet Name down to the dust and trample upon it. This would be taking His name in vain. Let's explore Exodus 20:7 together...

Listen as Derek shares about Shavu'ot (Pentecost), along with fresh insight into the everlasting covenant beginning with Commandment #1. His love within us empowers us to love Him back with all of heart, soul, mind and strength.

Join us for an in-depth look at Exodus 34:6 and an anointed time of talking about the goodness of Yah!

In the beginning, the creation of the family stemmed from the desires of the heart of the Creator to have someone to fellowship with and who would rule and reign over His creation. As important as this initial creation was, as everything outside of Yahuweh must have a beginning point, the utmost importance and concern of the Creator is the continuation of the family that He created. The continuation of the family is the backbone, the theme of the entire plan of salvation. A proper balance of the family unit must be maintained for the survival of not only the present congregation (a collective unit of households,) but for future generations.

True restoration of His perfect will comes when the shame of unworthiness – even as Adam felt that day because He knew the fellowship with His Creator was broken - gives way to oneness with His Maker -- where Adam and Eve – Man and Woman -- can look at each other in unity again-- in the nakedness of purity – singing the same song – once again, standing in the presence of the Lamb – “PLACED” in that garden called Mount Zion – because THE Savior was sent in pursuit of us, on a mission of love.

A good brother and friend of ours asked, "why do you think Messiah said He only came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel?"Messiah came to seek and to save the lost. Just as the shepherd leaves the 99 to go after the one lost sheep, so Messiah came to restore His family into one sheep fold; one stick in His hand (Ezekiel 37). But why? This is the greatest love story ever told--in the place we were called not His people, we are now called sons of the living Elohim! (Hosea 1).One cannot reason with Love!

2 Kings 17 is a pivotal moment in the history of Israel. The sins of Jeroboam had spread like a pandemic through all of the Northern Kingdom. This is the story of the exile of the House of Israel. What happened when the House of Israel was scattered among all the nations? Where are they today? Why was Messiah sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel? Listen, as we dive deeper into the greatest topic throughout all of Scripture...the restoration of the family of Elohim (God).

1 Kings 10-12 outline the great divide of the House of Jacob into two kingdoms - Israel and Judah (the Northern and Southern kingdoms). Listen, as we dive into how fear gripped the heart of Jeroboam that would eventually lead Israel into abandoning the truth of Elohim's ways. Is fear preventing the light of the truth of God's word from entering your heart? This is the year to dominate fear and receive His truth that makes us free!

Recorded live at the Prayer & Training Center, Derek shares about the Light of Encouragement as the dawning of Hanukkah is upon us. Encouraging ourselves in Yah allows the light of heaven to enter the dark circumstances on earth!The most precious gift – having eyes to see – the greatest curse – never opening themThe most precious gift – having light – the greatest curse – never sharing with othersHe is the light of the world as long as His people reflect it!

Come and celebrate the opening of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) and learn how the Festivals of Yahuweh (Deuteronomy 16:16) tie into the Abrahamic promises in Genesis 12:1-3.

During this time of Elul, it is time to leave the house of Ai and return to the house of Elohim (Beit-El). An introduction to the Abrahamic promises with a discussion on what it means to come to the altar!

A special message on Elul and the importance of keeping our garments clean - prepared to meet our Bridegroom!

As we have now entered into the month of Elul - it is high time for self examination and preparation for the soon coming King. Recorded on Friday, 8/21/2020, Derek speaks on the covenant of salvation we have entered into and what our responsibilities are to that covenant relationship.

It is a gift to see and to believe in the only One who is able to open our blind eyes to His majesty and light. Help us never to squander the beauty of sight as your children are called to reflect the light of Your glory.

Based upon Mark 4, what is Messiah's response to the disciples' question, 'do you not care if we perish?' It is a response of tender love yet sadness that they have not yet realized how much He really cared for them.

A special time of sharing the Word of the Master among His remnant family.

Following the traditions of men is a path that leads to death - an act of treason against the King. Following the Word of God is the path that leads to life - an act of submission to the King. Recorded at the Prayer & Training Center, Fort Worth, on the last great day of the feast of Sukkot (the 8th day), Derek and Rivkah share the link between the Sabbath and the Living Water. In John 7:37-38, Messiah said that out of your inner most being will flow rivers of living water. It is this same living water that flows from underneath the throne in Revelation 22:1 and Ezekiel 47:1-12 and brings life and peace wherever it flows. It is a joy and privilege to keep the Sabbath holy, on the 7th day of the week, when the King of Kings longs to speak to His precious bride. But is she too busy to spend time with Him, speaking her own words and doing her own things - Isaiah 58:13-14?) The Sabbath (Shabbat) is time to replenish, and a time to recognize that it is one of the most important of the 10 Commandments. We show our Savior how much He is loved by our obedience to keep that day holy. Join Derek and Rivkah as they share about the wonders of that 7th day, and what marvelous things keeping it has done for their own lives and marriage.Click Here to Download the Study Notes: http://www.thewelltroddenroad.org/download/Revealing-the-Sabbath-from-Genesis-to-Revelation.pdf

Sukkot, or sometimes referred to as the Feast of Tabernacles, is the 7th and final festival of the feasts of Yahuweh. It is the time of entering into His rest with His family after the final disposition of His enemies. It is the most joyous time of the year. It is the time of the year of the ingathering of the fruits of the earth. It is the time of the Kingly Bridegroom dwelling with His bride and their children forever!Nehemiah 8:13-18 reveals it as a time of great rejoicing; building booths out of the branches of the olive, palm, myrtle, and willow and the reading of Scripture. It is a time to remember His promise of bringing us through the wilderness and into the promised land! It is a time to look forward to our homecoming day.Joel 2:18-27 describes it as a time of teaching, healing, restoration, gladness and rejoicing. Leviticus 26:11-12, John 1:14 and Revelation 21:1-5 all show us how the Father longs to dwell in the midst of His people and be their Elohim (God).John 7:37-38 shows us how Messiah, on that 8th great day of the Feast, calls the thirsty to come unto Him and drink of the Living water so that through their belief in Him, newness of life will burst forth as a river from within.Revelation 22:1-4 paints a beautiful picture of the 8th day - a time of completion of the former things, the ending of the curse and the launching of new beginnings.Join Derek and Rivkah as they share a beautiful message about this most joyous day, with insights into the deeper meaning of the true fulfillment of this great Festival.Recorded at the Prayer & Training Center, Fort Worth, TexasClick on the following link to download the study notes for this message: http://www.thewelltroddenroad.org/download/Sukkot-2019.docx

A Day of Affliction, Judgment, Decision, War, Separation and Family Restoration - Yes - This is a day unlike any other because it is the day of finalities - the day of the Yahuweh. In this special message, Derek and Rebecca share crucial insights and revelation into this most set-apart day of the year. The absolute importance of this day for Elohim's chosen people is showing that we love truth more than we love ourselves and fleshly desires. It is a day to witness the true intentions of the Bridegroom come to fruition for His bride. It is our last opportunity to tell the Love of our life that we choose His ways over the deceptive ways of the serpent. It is this day, that we go back to the Garden and choose to obey the Creator rather than the lie of the serpent. It is this day, that the enemy of our souls is separated from us and we will enter into the time of peace as our King begins to reign over His kingdom.

Join Derek and Rivkah as they share about Yom Teruah (The Day of Trumpets). In this message, recorded at the Prayer & Training Center, several questions are addressed. 1. When is Yom Teruah?2. What is Yom Teruah?3. How does Elohim want us to celebrate Yom Teruah?The seventh month of our gathering together for the festivals of Yahuweh is all about endurance (Ethanim - 1 Kings 8:1-2). Will you endure to the end to see the 'completion of Elohim's covenant and worship with joy'? Will you be like the assembly of Philadelphia who will never let anyone take their crown (Revelation 3:11)? On September 1, 2019, we entered into the timing of the 10 days of awe. Now is the time of T'shuvah (repentance). Now is the time to ensure that what you believe isn't based on head knowledge, but founded in knowing the nearness of the heart of the Master. We never really know a person until we have gone through much trials and tribulation with them.Chag Sameach - Have a joyful fall festival season with full expectation of our soon coming deliverance!Read Leviticus 23 and the book of Joel as a prerequisite to listening to this message!Be sure and download the accompanying notes here: http://www.thewelltroddenroad.org/study-library/articles-and-studies/Episode artwork attribution - Sweet Publishing / FreeBibleimages.org

Based upon Isaiah 30:15, Trials of Trust takes you front row center into the life of King Hezekiah during the time of the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. There was a season in the king's life where Yahuweh (The Lord) stepped back to see what was in the heart of Hezekiah. It would begin at this time, the greatest test that Hezekiah would ever experience - the decision to trust in man or the Elohim (God) of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

Verses: 1 Samuel 18:5, 9-15, 28-30The study of David and Saul is a true study of spiritual warfare. Spiritual Warfare is the exercise of wisdom, for wisdom terrifies the enemy.Learn how to use wisdom and know when to attack – Gideon's army – ambush when the enemy sleeps (before he has a chance to work – defeat his agenda before it begins)David had 2 opportunities to defeat Saul (once awake and once asleep), but chose the wisdom of Elohim over the wisdom of the world. What would have happened to David's throne had he destroyed Saul himself?

Scriptures: James 1:17, Ephesians 3:15, 1 John 4:8, Genesis 1:26; 5:3; Exodus 25:40; Matthew 6:9-13, Deuteronomy 6:6-8; 20-25 and many othersSummary: Avinu (Our Father) – In the ancient Paleo language, Avinu means: “The first and powerful one of the house who gives life to his children with secure attachment.”1. Why do so many believers tend to reduce the image of our heavenly Father to that of our earthly father as though they are one in the same?2. Why is it that so we easily trust Him for salvation, that He loved us enough to send us His Son to die to take away our sins, yet we spend a lifetime making Him prove that He is not the same man as our earthly father?Although these are some hard questions to tackle, to answer them we must first look into the heart of our heavenly Father. Only He knows how to maintain the perfect blend of ‘all powerful' and ‘all compassionate.' He is love and desires so much that through His Son, the reality of the heavenly pattern and perfection of a family would manifest itself into the earthly realm. This pattern, emanating from the image of the Creator Himself, is what the enemy is out to destroy – destruction of a family who through the shed blood of the Lamb, would once again bear the likeness and image of the one of who created it. No more shame, no more fear!

Scriptures: Psalm 133, John 17, Malachi 4:6, Revelation 3:14-22, Colossians 1-4 and many othersSummary: In these last days, it is crucial for the body of Messiah, as in Acts 4:32-37, to come together in unity, learning to combat against false teachings that seek to undermine the preeminence of our Messiah. The book of Colossians, written by Paul around 60 AD, was to be read to the Church of Laodicea (Chapter 4:16). It would be only 30 years later that the messenger of Revelation 3 would have to inform the Assembly at Laodicea of its lukewarm behavior. As history repeats itself, it is wise to learn from those who fell prey to a world system void of any dependency on a heavenly Provider.

In a world of mixture, people blurred to the difference between light and darkness, truth and deception, there is a remnant arising who have found the clarity of living as set-apart royalty unto the King, the Master Yahushua. Our battle cry is that we should proclaim the praises of Him Who is always good. In this message, Derek continues on the heels of Pastor Annmarie, as she spoke the week prior on our positions as sons of the King.If we have been called out and chosen to be different than the world, then how should our behavior as royalty be? What is our duty as royalty? What is our response to those who persecute us because of our royal family nature? And what is our reward for enduring to the end as His royal sons and daughters?Recorded on April 14th, 2019 at the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas, listen, as all of these questions are answered, learning what it means to be part of the end-time Philadelphian assembly as described in Revelation 3. To him that overcomes…our reward for a life of enduringly holding fast to the truth, is to live in His presence forever, never leaving His side again. To be home with Him always! (the notes to this message may be found on our website).

On this 1st Day of Unleavened Bread, we remember to put feet to the deliverance Messiah has wrought. The blood of the Lamb opens prison doors but we have the responsiblity to flee from that cage of slavery.Rivkah and I enjoyed a beautiful Passover meal with the Prayer & Training Center last night and it was a joyous celebration for all.We are on our way to the promised land. We need cheerleaders - those who have gone before us like Paul who cried out, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have guarded the belief" - 2 Timothy 4:7.Hold on tight - a crown of righteousness awaits those loving His appearing - longing for His return.

"This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you." - Exodus 12:2Recorded at the Prayer & Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas, Rivkah shares the importance of living an unleavened life as she introduces the true meaning of Passover. So much has been lost in our understanding of the true, Biblical plan of salvation as outlined in the Feasts of Yahuweh (the Lord).This plan has been prepared for us before the foundation of the world – made visible in the suffering and resurrection of our Messiah. This celebration has nothing to do with playing the religious role of the Jew, but is a celebration that we have been grafted back into the root of Messiah as the seed of Abraham! (Galatians 3:29, Romans 11)Listen, as Rivkah brings us back into focus on the timing of this special season, to remember that we our not our own, but have been bought with a price by the precious blood of our Passover Lamb.

"This month shall be unto you the beginning of months:it shall be the first month of the year to you." - Exodus 12:2We are a people of deliverance - therefore we must be a people of remembrance. We have stepped into the Passover season, a season of humility where the barley sheaves are bowed low and are waiting for their harvest. Today is the day we walked out of Egypt triumphantly - a people of deliverance who have come out of darkness and into the glorious light of our King!We have been called to participate in the greatest rhythm of timing ever established - the rhythm of the newness of life. This life begins with the celebration of our Creator's timing, and the gathering together unto Him - His people who have been set-apart from the systems of this world by the blood of the Lamb. Messiah was bruised, crushed, crucified, buried and raised to life--for you--for me.He is our Passover Lamb and our grain offering of lowly barley. He was not interested in His own glory but His Father's alone. He presented Himself on high for OUR acceptance before His Father, therefore we possess a living hope! Lest we forget our beloved suffering Servant and fall back into the hands of the dark kingdom, let us remember, with great fear, wonderment and awe, Messiah's work on the stake."For many – of whom I have often told you, and now say to you even weeping – walk as enemies of the stake of Messiah, their end is destruction, their mighty one is their stomach, and their esteem is in their shame – they mind the earthly for our citizenship is in the heavens, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour, the Master Yahushua Messiah, who shall change our lowly body, to be conformed to His esteemed body, according to the working by which He is able even to bring all under His control." -- Philippians 3:18-21What is the Master whispering to you this season? How will you come into sync with His timing?Recorded at the Prayer & Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas (3/17/2019)

Be the beacon in a world of avalanching darkness. Truth is not hate! Speak the truth! Live it! We are hated for bearing the truth. Firm up your foundation! Good is broadcasted as evil and evil is exalted as good. The only witness worth having is one worth dying for. Listen, to this brief message of reality and encouragement. Shalom - the King is coming soon! Lift up your heads!

The Creator has every right to rule His own creation (Psalm 2).Listen, as Derek pours out Father's heart concerning the condition of the days in which we live. Recorded on January 27, 2019 at the Prayer and Training Center, Fort Worth, Texas, there were a few questions that were addressed that we all must face.What are human rights in the eyes of the Creator? How do we grasp the recently passed abortion law in New York? What standard will the body of believers conform to? Are His children taking His Name in vain and not even realizing it? Are we ready to be hated for the sake of the Name and will we contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints?It is time to make a settled intent (an act of trust) to go deep below the surface of chaos into the hiding place – like Messiah who rested in the bottom of the boat. We must not let the Word of Elohim slip through our hands. We must cling to life like never before! 1 Peter 5:8 – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”Download the accompanying notes/presentation here:http://www.thewelltroddenroad.org/study-library/articles-and-studies/

Listen as Derek shares powerful insights into the blessing given by Aaron the High Priest in Numbers chapter 6. This blessing comes from the heart of the Father Himself as He has given it to His people as a promise that He will provide for us and protect us through His Beloved Son. The blessing prepares us. The blessing is given to beautify us to stand once again in the presence of purity and light. It causes us to see our Father as our earthly provider and protector so that we can see Him as the heavenly provider and protector of our eternal beings.What is our response to Him as He, Messiah the High Priest Himself, puts the Name of His Father upon us, His children, by His own blood? At the end of this podcast, Jonathan Cahn sings the Aaronic Blessing. Here is the YouTube link from which that blessing was recorded from. The Aaronic BlessingThis podcast was recorded live from the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Yochanan (John) the beloved sat so close to Messiah at the dinner table that evening that he was able to rest his head upon His chest. He wanted to hear what was on His Master's heart. It was revealed to John that Judas would be the one who would betray his Master.Birthed from an intimate moment with Yahushua, this podcast reveals how crucial it is to have love for another.“A renewed command I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all know that you are My taught ones, if you have love for one another.”—John 13:34-35This commandment was given to the disciples just after Messiah revealed to John who would betray Him. Why would He give this commandment now, at this time? I believe that in the last days in which we are living, just as it was in the last day of Messiah before He was delivered up, we must have an undying love for one another. This is how the world knows who we are following as our Master but also how we know who among us is true to Him (or may have the potential to betray us.) For if they betray the Master, they betray us.People talk about loving one another, but do they really? How do we truly know who is part of the family of Elohim (God) and who is a deceiver/betrayer? We love one another and our Master by how we guard and obey His commands. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16Elohim (God) loved us so much that He gave us His Son so that now, the whosoever's, have a choice to make. Do we choose Him who is life, or do we choose ourselves and the world which is death? There is a conditional statement in this verse. If we believe in Him, we will obey His commandments and when we obey His commandments, we show that we love Him and therefore show our love for others who also love and obey and believe in Him.This is what family is about. If we see that someone who professes to be part of the family of Elohim, and has not love, we must encourage and admonish our brothers and sisters because this is our identification as family members. We must know what side we are on and who is on our side if we are to win this war!Messiah, at the dinner that night around the table, revealed the one who did not have love for Him. In these last days, we must know who has love for our Savior and who does not. If we sit close enough to the Master's heart, He will tell us who the deceivers are. It is most important that we stay tuned in to His heartbeat if we are to maintain the love and the bond of peace that is evident in the household of Elohim.

"forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil. I, Yahuweh (The Lord), do all these" - Isaiah 45:7His servants stand before kings and His kings bring deliverance to His people...A question was asked in a recent Friday Prayer Meeting concerning Judas Iscariot. Though he was a chosen disciple, why would Yahushua (Jesus) choose this follower if He already knew in the end he would be betrayed by him?Every kingdom, every war, every king and every servant, whether good or evil, is used by the Creator of the universe as part of a master plan to deliver, separate, test, try and prove a family that will be loyal to Him to the end.Throughout history, throughout all the wars and bloodshed - the rise and fall of kings and kingdoms, it all came down to one kiss...the kiss of betrayal. How does Elohim (God) use every resource, good or evil, light or dark, to orchestrate the grandest plan ever to bring about the redemption of mankind? Only He knows, for there is none like Him and none else can be compared to Him!

There is a shifting – a turbulence, a kind of ‘changing of the guard' occurring right now. Do you sense it? Do you feel it? This podcast was recorded live from the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Listen, as Derek presents the Day of Atonement in a fascinating new light. We have entered into the period of endurance as 1 Kings 8:2 describes the 7th month. We have entered into the time of “loyalty under fire” where our commitment to the One who redeemed us from the grave will be put under extreme pressure in order to determine whether our Yes is truly Yes and our No is truly No. If we do not uphold His decision to have mercy on us as sinners by living a forgiven lifestyle, we will in-turn mock His goodness, spit on the cross, fail to forgive others and earn back upon our own heads the debt that was once forgiven us.When our life is over, what kind of Kingdom impact will we have made in the lives of other human beings? That all depends on how we respond today to the blood of our Savior Messiah. The Day of Atonement lies as the portal between time and eternity. There is no other way to reach the other side of peace and rest without first going through what Messiah called as ‘the days He must shorten if any flesh will remain alive.'

"I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the wicked one." - John 17:15We pray you are entering into this festival season with an attitude of awareness of where we are at in this late hour. This podcast is an encouragement to the remnant and body of our Messiah to begin to understand the nature of the times we are living. Too long has the last book of our Bible's been untouched by the greasy prints of our fingers. We are blessed if we read this book because it spells out our hope and our redemption. This hope lies in the very fabric of the appointed times of Yahuweh known as the Feasts of the Lord. Every single one of these feasts as outlined in Leviticus 23 points to our Messiah and the work of the stake (cross).This message is a doorway to what will be shared in the coming weeks and months to understand the crucial decision that every believer in Messiah has to 'come out of Babylon'. Do not share in her sins. She will be rewarded for what she has done.Make your identity know of Who you serve. By understanding the pathway of the festivals which leads to life, we will begin to see what the blood of Messiah truly accomplished. Without His blood, we have no victory...either in our testimony or in reaching others for the Kingdom. We are called to radically sit apart from this world! We are called to sit in heavenly places, not as a spoiled brat King's kid who does nothing for his/her reward, but to sit as set-apart ones unto our Father. Yes, my friends, He expects that kind of radical behavior (even in our work places)!Prepare, prepare, prepare... Yom Kippur is coming and we must be dazzling white if we will see Him face to face and embrace Him for eternity. 

At the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Derek and Rivkah talk briefly about the upcoming Fall Festivals - specifically about Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

We were born to house the life of the Creator within us. The possessor of life gave us His life. We were created as sons, clothed in glory, beauty and perfection. We looked like our Creator, we possessed His character and nature. We were well equipped to function as priests over all creation to rule over it and subdue it. We were in covenant relationship with Him. We walked humbly with Him and enjoyed loving-kindness.until.....Welcome to the month of Elul, the time for repentance and preparing our hearts for Messiah's return.Listen to Derek as he speaks at the Prayer and Training Center in Fort Worth, Texas on this most exciting and most important subject. The information contained in this message is so valuable in understanding how to rise up in these last days and return to our calling as sons of Elohim. We have self-atoned long enough, trying to cover up the shame of losing His presence and gaining our own. It is time for the world to know that our Creator has the right to rule and govern our lives, and we need to be living examples of that right!

The increase in knowledge, per Daniel 12:4, without a love for the truth of Elohim's (God's) Word, (having the knowledge of good and evil) will lead us to abandon our relational love for others, God and even ourselves. The quality of the relationships in our lives is determined by who we depend upon (with child-likeness) to tell us the truth.This podcast incorporated the article 'We Want to Know - The urge to have con­trol over everything versus child-like trust in a good God' by my good friend Andre H. Roosma of www.Hallelu-YaH.nlThe article can be found here: http://www.hallelu-yah.nl/we-want-to-know.html

An encouragement not to focus on the transition itself, but to realize, in the midst of our transition, His presence is with us.Where can I go where Your Spirit is not? (Psalm 139).
