I recently noticed a supernatural connection between the Kingdom of God and rivers.  A river watered the Garden of Eden then divided into four rivers.  Moshe was placed into a wicker basket and floated down the river.  The first two plaques against Egypt involved the Nile River.  Moshe struck the River turning it into blood making it undrinkable and all the fish in the River died. The river was st...  Read More

Jeremiah 22:13.

May 5th is Cinco de Mayo “The Fifth of May” in Spanish. This day celebrates the victory of the Mexican army over th...  Read More

Shalom Mishpocha,The month of April has arrived. April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. April, a transition month, brings us some unpredictable weather! April rains bring lush green pastures but also umbrellas and rain boots! A...  Read More

Exodus 12:1-6.  ADONAI spoke to Moshe and Aharon in the land of Egypt; he said, 2 "You are to begin your calendar with this month; it will be the first month of the year for you. 3 Speak to all the assembly of Isra'el and say, 'On the tenth day of this month, each man is to take a lamb or kid for his family, one per household – 4 except that if the household is too small for a whole lamb or kid, t...  Read More

Esther 3:8. Then Haman said to Achashverosh, "There is a particular people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of every other people; moreover, they don't observe the king's laws. It doesn't befit the king to tolerate them. Haman described our Jewish People to Achashverosh as a "people scattered abroad and dispersed am...  Read More

The transition from the book of Genesis to the book of Exodus covers quite a span of time that leaves us with a void of information.  We leave Genesis with the entire nation of Egypt mourning the loss of Yosef for 70 days.  Yosef and his family were almost royalty, the heroes of Egypt and Israel.  So how did his descendants wind up in slavery as we enter the book of Exodus?Exodus 1:8-11.  Now ther...  Read More

We’re experiencing the profound presence of our mighty God yet we are not necessarily moving into new areas as much as the Lord is teaching us to rebuild that which has fallen; or in many cases has been rejected by religion including both Judaism and Christianity!  It’s interesting that both streams, Judaism and Christianity have spirit led branches, the Lubavitcher’s and the Pentecostals or Chari...  Read More

The Kingdom of God is based upon two relationship models.  The first model is between every individual and God, the second is between upon every individual and the people around you.  Your immediate family, your friends, and neighbors, those whom you work with, those with whom you either have business or social interactions, then people in general.  The basis of family or Mishpocha is based upon t...  Read More

The old Roman calendar had only ten months, starting in March and ending with December (Latin for “the tenth month”). When ...  Read More
