Very very hard when you desire to live outside mainstream Christianity. I have three so called Messianic Assemblies in my area (Boise ID). All claim Torah Obedience as evidence of Love for Mashiak (Torah & Appointed Times). Two use Jesus and Lord and don't use the Hebrew Name because according to them its the same name. The other one uses Adoni and Yahshua but tell the assembly NOT to use Yahwehs name bc its sacred (but Yahshua is not sacred, regardless that that are ONE?). Strange fire! So, i've been on my journey alone. No assembly, NO wife, NO real brothers in the faith near me. This loneliness isn't cured by scripture stating He will never leave us, because the other veres says its NOT good for man to be alone. Yet for years and years thats where I've been. Alone! It gets old. This makes it much harder NOT fall into sin bc my accountability is invisible. Yet, I can't blame abba. He gets a pass. The mystery of why gets semi answered in Job. Sadly this doesn't fullfill. I desire Yah and Obedience. Coming into this understanding about ten years ago was a huge step in drawing closer to Him. Yet my reward is loneliness.
Blessed sabbath everyone, May Yahweh Elohim bless us all faithful believers, shalom!
