Ancient Path of Obedience: A place at the table

Leigh Anne Caruthers

How do I make reservations?

Matthew 22:1  AND Yahusha answered and spoke unto them again

 by parables, and said,

Matthew 22:2  The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king, 

which made a marriage for his son,

Matthew 22:3  And sent forth his servants to call them 

that were bidden to the wedding: 

and they would not come.

The parables spoken by Yahusha during his 3 years of Ministry on this earth provide very subtle  pearls of wisdom concerning what we should be pursuing. A heads up of what is important to Yahuah. I love the parable about the Wedding Feast. I get excited thinking about the Wedding Feast when Yahusha returns and we are gathered with Him. I am also sad that so many in the parable chose worldly things over responding to the invitation. It makes you think doesn't it? 

Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noach were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of A’dam be.

Mat 24:38  For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, marrying 

and giving in marriage, until the day that Noach entered into the ark,

Mat 24:39  And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of A’dam be.

History repeats itself. I look around and all I see is a world that is a reflection of the days of Noach (Noah). I found myself reflecting on the Wedding Feast parable as I went through the difficult process of removing scales from my eyes so that I may see what the Father was trying to show me.  Looking back now I see it as a spiritual detox that I went through. Removing what was watering down my Ruach and replacing it with the true nourishment of Yahuah brought to us by Yahusha Ha'Mashiach. What invitations was I missing out on? How do I make reservations for the Wedding Feast with the Bridegroom?!

My sheep hear my voice

What does it mean to hear the voice of the Shepherd? Hearing the voice of the Shepherd involves reading the word of Yahuah. The word Of Yahuah became flesh and walked on the earth to be crucified, die, and be resurrected to the right hand of Yahuah, our Yahusha Ha'Mashiach. Our Good Shepherd lived obedient to the Father and his commandments without fault. He is the word made flesh. When this realization really seeps into your soul you realize that to deny the Torah is to deny Yahusha. This will cause an immediate removal of the carpet from under your feet! At that point the process of analyzing what else has been missed, changed, hidden, glossed over, watered down, or as I've heard it explained "christianized," begins. For me, I prayed and asked Yahuah, "what have I missed". The answer.....a lot! I wanted to hear the Shepherd's voice in fullness and I prayed for that connection. The Ruach led me to the 7 Moedim (Appointed Times) of Yahuah in scripture. "Hear MY voice," calls the Shepherd. Not the voice of the world. 

Rev 18:3  For all nations have drunk of the wine 

of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth 

have committed fornication with her, 

and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich

 through the abundance of her delicacies.

Rev 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, 

and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Rev 18:5  For her sins have reached unto heaven, 

and Elohiym has remembered her iniquities.

Come out of her my people

To understand who "her" is on this walk is paramount to remove scales from your eyes. In Revelation 18:2 we read that "Babel" the great is fallen and become a habitation for devils. Come out of Babel. To understand the wickedness of Babel we have to look into the history. The ancient Babylonians worshiped numerous gods. Some of these gods were Madruk/Bel/Lord (the national god of Babylon), Ishtar, Shamash, Ea, and Enlil. So it is safe to say it was a melting pot of many different gods they worshiped and ways that they were worshiped. Without going into all of the adaptations of pagan Babylonian celebrations, I urge you to investigate for yourself the "traditions of man" such as Christmas and Easter and come out of her. It is safe to say that any "tradition of man" should be removed from our lives. It is a difficult process. Many will not understand and may even turn against you. Love them anyway. Pray for them and know that you have asked Yahuah to open your eyes. Others may not be there yet. However, do not compromise your walk for the comfort of others. Love them and pray for them. Speak with kindness and meekness but do not compromise what Yahuah has asked of you. The road out of Babylon is littered with constant discouragement intended to make you stop and return. Just keep walking in the footsteps of Yahusha Ha'Mashiach that leads to the Kingdom of Yahuah.

Sound the Shofar and return to the Feasts of Yahuah

Once the shock wore off after researching all the "traditions of man" and we rid our house of the decorations associated, Yahuah led us to research the 7 Moedim or Appointed times of our Father. Now there is much debate over not being "in the land" or there is no temple, so I urge you to read your scripture and pray fervently to Yahuah concerning what His will and way is for you in your life. For me and my house, He led us to participate in his appointed times as described in scripture.

Passover is the First Feast of the Seven. It was called Passover because the angel of death passed over every home in Egypt that obediently placed the blood of a lamb on its doorposts. That same night began the first day, of the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread. On the Third day was the Feast of First Fruits, which began the 49 day count down until The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). Were these Feast days done away with? On the eve of Pesach we read that Yahusha asks us to remember.  

Luke 22:19  And he took the bread, and gave thanks, 

and broke it, and gave unto them, saying, 

This is my body which is given for you: 

this do in remembrance of me.

Yahusha kept the Father's commandments. He was the word made flesh so it is without a need to explain that he participated in all of the Appointed days/Feasts of Yahuah. If we follow in His footsteps, we will keep the Feasts He did. The Feast he is asking us to return to. If we want to be invited to the Wedding Feast of the Bridegroom, we need to participate in the Feasts set by Yahuah and flee from the pagan traditions of man. The final 3 Appointed times are : 

Leviticus 23:24  Speak unto the children of Yashar’el, saying, 

In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, 

shall ye have a Shabbath, a memorial of blowing of shofars, 

a holy assembly. 

 Leviticus 23:27  Also on the tenth day of this seventh month 

is Yom Kippuriym (Day of atonement): 

it shall be a holy assembly unto you; 

and ye shall afflict your souls, 

and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahuah.

Leviticus 23:34  Speak unto the children of Yashar’el, saying, 

The fifteenth day of this seventh month 

shall be the Feast of Cukkoth (Booths) 

for seven days unto Yahuah.

So,  here are the invitations from the Father to celebrate with him the Feasts that He has established as a perpetual covenant between Him and us. Will we accept and attend? Or are we busy with the temptations and distractions of the world? I pray we heed the call of Yahuah to return to Him and His appointed times so that we may find ourselves worthy to be invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. 

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Rev 19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, 

and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, 

saying, Halleluyah: for Yahuah Elohiym Tseva’oth reigns.

Rev 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: 

for the marriage of the Lamb is come, 

and his woman has made herself ready.

Rev 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be 

arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: 

for the fine linen is the righteousness of the qodeshiym.

Rev 19:9  And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they 

which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. 

And he said unto me, These are the true words of Elohiym.

Rev 19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. 

And he said unto me, See you do it not: 

I am your fellowservant, 

and of your brethren that have the testimony of Yahusha: 

worship Elohiym: for the testimony 

of Yahusha is the Ruach of Prophecy.

I pray this has been a blessing to you. Leave me a comment and let me know what your thoughts are. Time is short. Share this message out!

Fiery Faith Ministries has been called to step out in Faith, following the will of Yahuah (YHVH)  and to become a non-profit organization. It has been a long and tedious 5 months but we have made it ! Praise Yahuah! 

First, we are working to initiate a Widow's fund that prayerfully will help ease the financial burden experienced through the loss of spouse by member's within the Fiery Faith Ministries community that spans the world. 

Also in the works, a Prisoner fund that will be focused on life post incarceration. This is a work in progress. 

Finally, Hope's Child Charity,  designed to assist young single 1st time pregnant mothers with the initial financial costs of choosing life and bringing their beautiful Yah chosen baby into the world (providing financial assistance towards housing, clothing, food, diapers, parenting classes, counseling).  Our goal is to help  these young 1st time mom's to be able to obtain resources needed to assist them getting started to raise a happy, healthy family with all the tools needed to be successful! This is huge on our hearts! We would love to give life a chance and in that give hope to a young mother struggling with this decision. 

The word "Hope" in Hebrew Is Tiqvah and can mean literally "a cord". In the book of Joshua we see Rahab tie the scarlet cord from the window as a sign that would protect her and her family. This type of cord would have been 3 braided into one strong rope. I see this 3 braided cord as Yahuah, Yahusha, and the Ruach Ha'Qodesh. Halleluyah! Hope is something here that is tangible and can be held onto. A life line! This is the hope we want to give! A life line that could make the difference between life and death. 

We are just starting the research and grant writing process for Hope's Child. 

Please pray with us as we step out in faith following the will and way of Yahuah brought through Yahusha Ha'Mashiach. 

Please help us reach our goals by donating to our Fundraiser designed to help offset the costs incurred during the start up of the Non-Profit process. Join us in prayer for the will and way of Yahuah to be in every step we take. Please share this information out there!
