What's The Meaning of The Parable Of The Lampstand...
What Dose The Parable Of The Lampstand teach?
Lets imagine for a second that you are out talking to your friend, or an acquaintance. You two are in deep conversation, laughing and having a good time talking about anything, like good friends do. You both begin to talk about the things you love to do, like your careers and hobbies. Your friend begins to go on and on about the things that they used to do, about their gifts and talents that they put down and never got back into. You begin to encourage your friend letting them know that they can still pick their talent back up and thrive if they want to. Now, after imagining this scenario lets look back at the conversation of the two friends. What happened to the two friends? Why did the one friend neglect their talents? The Lord And Savior has an answer for this written in the book of Matthews…
Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
This is a teaching among many that Yahusha had taught his disciples, and the multitude of people who came to hear his sermons. The parable of the lampstand was not just about any old gift, but the gifts of the Holy Spirit that comes from The Heavenly Father. The parable of the lampstand is about the Lords set apart holy people. All of the Lords people, the disciples, are given gifts from the moment that they give themselves to Christ. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are: the gift of wisdom, knowledge, giving faith, miracles, healing, tongs, interpretation of tongs, prophecy, and teaching. These gifts are for followers of Yahusha to use for the furthering of the heavenly kingdom. After being saved we are then given the word, and taught the way of the father. Then we are sent out to bring others into the light, we are to bring people to the enlightenment of their salvation in Yahusha.
When Yahusha says “A light is not hidden under a bushel” this rings true. Our light is to shine forth and bring truth to others so that our Heavenly Father will receive all glory! When we do good things and not shrink back, and bring truth to others, this saves them and brings them into Yahusha’s salvation. So they may receive the words of eternal life.
You can’t actually put a lamp that has been lit under a bushel, it would just burn. But for us as people we will find ourselves spiritually doing just that. We will be given a beautiful gift and we will bury it, or sit on it and let it go un-used. This is what happened to the friend who sat on his gifts, and time went buy and their gift went un-used. This is a sin and a crime unto The Heavenly Father, because he gives use these gift knowing what good they will do for not only us but also for others. What gift has The Heavenly Father given you, and what have you done to put it to use for The Heavenly Kingdom.

Why We Do Not Forsaken The Assembly...
What dose forsake not the assembly mean...
In these times and in these days it is very common to find people who have decided to leave the church. Doing this means they have left the assembly. Because when you leave a church you leave the body of the church, which is the assembly. This is a common issue that we find in this generation because of how the experience was with the church before. Most people said the same thing when it came to their bad experience with their previous church… I don’t understand what the pastor is saying, I don‘t like the fact that the church is so judgemental, the church is just money grabbing, they are just such hypocrites! When I look at a lot of the complainants that people have, I become so sad, because I know what is going to happen if they don’t turn around and correct their mistake. This is not to be disingenuous about peoples feelings and what they went through. But to get them to understand the protection the assembly gives them. Where going to talk about it.
In hebrews 10;25 it is said that “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
The assembly is more than just a church, its about the community. I think that a lot of us struggle to see the value of the people who are around us, and fail to see the people separate from the church building. There are a lot of us who go to church and we don’t even speak to others. They will just go to church, clap their hands to a song, and listen to the sermon, then they will leave without making a connection with anyone. The assembly is like a gift to you and your family. There are people for you to commune with and a chance to make long lasting friendships. Its not easy to make good friends after you have become an adult and have children but the church assembly makes things a lot easier.
One of the first things that Yahusha did in his ministry was to form an assembly before he even did one miracle. First he wend around and found his twelve disciples, then he went out and taught the multitudes. this shows how important it is to do things as a pair or a group and not by yourself.(see Duteronomy 32:30) When it was time to send his disciples out on their own he even sent them out in pairs, so it is not good to be alone. So often we try to do things all by ourselves and then when things get bad we don’t have anyone around us to pick us up. The assembly is not only there when things are good and thriving, but they are also supposed to be there when things get bad and you need prayer. Its always good to have someone to talk to when things get tough and you know they are going to listen and they are going to actually care.
Duteronomy 32: 30
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up.
Why Do We Disobey The First Commandment...
Why do people choose to be disobedient to Yah!
The first commandment on the tabernacles is as written “I am your Lord your Elohim who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. You shall have no other Gods besides me”. It is very clear to us that the commandment is to not put anything, or worship anyone else over the one true God, Yahweh. But the holy people had a problem about doing this even ever since they came out of Egypt. When the Holy people came out of Egypt they began to make a golden molten calf and pray and worship it. This angered The Heavenly Father, and rightfully so. The Heavenly Father Yahweh begins to remind them that he just brought them out of slavery and in the most miraculous way. If you can remember all of the plaques that he brought Egypt because of Pharaohs hardened heart, and the destruction that came onto the Egyptian people.
Jeremiah 2:9-13 (KJV) Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead.
For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
The Heavenly Father Yahweh was tiered of his holy peoples betrayal and un-loyalty that he decided to deliver on his word and let them go into captivity. You can hear the frustration from The Heavenly Father when he talks to the people of heaven and tell them to look at the foolishness of his earth people and to be “horribly afraid”. He was telling the heavenly people that he was going to destroy the earth people’s home and take their protection away because of their transgressions. Heavenly people actually pray for the people of earth inculcating The Holy Spirit and Yahusha, and I think a lot of us forget about that. The Heavenly Father is so disappointed that he refers to his people and a bunch of broken cisterns that can not hold water. He even compares them to the heathen in jealousy that they do not even betray their gods and their gods aren’t even real and an not deliver them in times of trouble but they would never betray their god’s like Israel.
This still happens today with the people who have turned away from the world and have chosen Yahusha as their lord and savior. So often we will betray or trade out our savior for our everyday enjoyments and not make time for the word or prayer. This weakens our connection with Yahusha and gives the devil a foothold into our lives. We are told to be vigilant and keep watch, to wear our holy armor, and to always stay in prayer. Wearing our holy armor is what keeps us from falling for the trickery and fiery darts of the enemy. And if the enemy is sending you things to tear you down then you are being attacked! Always stay in the word and you wont be caught off guard. Its okay to enjoy the beautiful life that The Heavenly Father has blessed you with, but don’t put the gift before the one who has blessed you. Don’t be a broken cistern that can’t even hold water.
What Is The Meaning Of The Parable Of The Talents...
What Did Yahusha Say In The Parable Of The Talents.
Have you ever wondered what the kingdom of heaven is like? or what it would be like to be apart of the kingdom of heaven? Well the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who went away on a long journey and left his servants over his kingdom with talents pertaining to each of their capabilities.
