I ABSOLUTELY LOVE God’s Sabbath!! I love ‘having permission’ to not do anything but just read, study, and talk God’s Word ALL day long!! At our previous Congregation, we often left late in the evening (like 7ish!) because hunger drove us home. Haha (We shared lunch together; guess we should have brought dinner, too! Haha) 👇 👇 What do YOU love about Sabbath??
I just love keeping the Shabbat! You've taught me alot. I watch Bro.Paul Wilbur & follow him during the opening of the Shabbat.I found a Synagogue Online & celebrate Shabbat Service with them! I just love it all!Bless you & your Family! Love your videos!❤🙂
I want to encourage anyone struggling with this. It still amazes me how beginning with this first step, has changed me and my family completely. I started observing Shabbat in 2017. And at first it was just me. After a year (and my learning expanded and understanding deepened), I had a talk with my husband and young adult daughter. I explained the commandment (not as well as Raquel) to them, how important it was that we all observe, and what it would mean to them. Basically they stopped doing household chores. After about 6 months my husband changed his schedule to be off for Shabbat and my daughter started lighting candles with me. Fast forward to 2021, all three of us embrace and celebrate the Shabbat equally and together. My daughter in 2017 said, "i don't believe there is a God, and if there is, I want nothing to do with Him." Now, not only does she love Shabbat, but follows all of YHVH other commandments, reads her Bible, shares scripture and prays with us. The changes were slow and gradual. But it happened because of prayer and walking in Yeshua's footsteps. I really hope my testimony encourages someone. Thank you so much Raquel, Shalom!!!
Wow!! What a testimony to share of YHVH’s faithfulness. Thank you!!! I’m so thankful your children are in love with the Lord and walking in His Word. ❤️
This definitely encourages me!! I feel Ike I'm in that place you started with my family now. I feel like I'm all by myself, but I know God will help me to be obedient if I just walk with Him and trust in Him. God bless!
Thank for sharing your testimony! Yes, I am alone as well, my mom thinks I am werid and being bound by the law. Anyways, I have another friend and we get together on Friday night and go to church together on the Sabbath! I am going to start praying that God will provide a Christian man that keeps the sabbath, if it is his will
Love this! I struggled with the Sabbath at first, simply because the rest of my family didn’t keep it, so I felt a little left out as they went out to have lunch together, or shopping, or whatever else they desired. Since then I’ve learned to really enjoy these quite times alone, and find myself looking forward to each Shabbat. 🥰
Nice!! And hopefully, your family will be drawn to the peace and strength you exude through your time with YHVH that they too will begin seeking Him and His Sabbath day!! 🙏
My recently turned 2 year old daughter was watching this with me and was nodding her head after every point you made. She has never done anything like that before so it was super cute and special. I am recently studying, reevaluating and questioning everything i have been taught from mainstream Christianity when it comes to The Law and this was so helpful so thank you
This is so encouraging. In the beginning i struggle to keep the Sabbath, flesh was fighting. Now Sabbath is a delight. Praise YAH 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽even my daughter enjoy it ❤️
Yes I understand that! I remember in the beginning, I always wanted to work on projects on Sabbath. But over time, I’ve also come to love having the whole day just for being in YHVH’s presence and Word with my family! 😃 Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Raquel. ❤ Loved your chickens. 😊 The thing I like about the Sabbath, is....I live alone, yet I know although I am alone, I am in One accord with many others at the same time. And I feel the sweetest presence of the Lord..and I love the song "Shalom alechiem" by a female singer on you tube! (Bim bam) I appreciate so much, your elaborating on scripture. I love the Jewish perspective and learning new things. In Yeshua's love, Shal😅m !!!
Wow Raquel!! I'm gonna have to watch this again just to soak in all that scripture you shared! Please pray for us. I'm really struggling with this because my husband and I grew up believing Sunday is the Sabbath but I've been convicted a lot lately to keep it Saturday and my hubby isn't completely on board. I just want unity, ya know? Thanks so much. I'll definitely be watching again and probably sharing with my family as well. God bless!💞
@@melissaawwad4129 yes I definitely will pray for you all. Thanks so much for your prayers as well. I know God has an awesome plan for each of us. Have a blessed day. 🙏💗
Great job on this video, it really will help those who need support for their convictions, which might otherwise be discouraged by those who are keeping traditions handed down to them by their family and friends.
Hi Raquel, and everyone:) My husband and I started celebrating the Shabbat on Saturday about a year ago . It has been a little challenging. We have read and watched much on what we cannot do on Shabbat . However , we are alone in celebrating Shabbat, and struggle with what we can do on the Sabbath . In other words , what does Sabbath look like in the real world ? A day in the life so to speak .. Other than not working , what do believers spend their day doing ? We of course enjoy Shabbat service , and prayer time , but I wondered if anyone would be willing to share what they do on the Sabbath beyond that .. 😊 Thank you so much ! It is so important for us to support each other as we learn❤️
@@sarahnorris872 thank you for your honesty ..being scheduled all week , it is a struggle for us to find things to fill the day with that is allowed on Shabbat. I am so happy for Friday , and we enjoy Friday evenings of rest and Saturday service and prayer and worship .. but the afternoon is difficult, and we find ourselves either sitting around , napping 😴 waiting for Shabbat to end so we can do things again or going out for a coffee which then causes people to work and violates the no buy/sell rule. I know this is not what was intended by God . It is supposed to be a special day , but when you do not have community to share the day with .. visitation etc .. it is a very long day indeed . When we close out Shabbat I often think back on the day and feel bad like I let God Down :(. Can anyone else relate to this ?
Hi im new to torah and started keep sabbath now since September 2020 it's been hard as it's only me and my toddler doing it. My hubby and three adult kids and teenager don't believe any more or want to do shabbat they make it very hard for me deliberately sabotage things making mess ect. so I struggle with two toddlers in the house, the house is always a mess on shabbat even tho I clean day before ready. I have to sweep the floor alot so the baby and my toddler who has multiple allergie don't touch things or put stuff in there mouths you know what little ones are like, this is the part of day I struggle with as I feel like I'm letting yah down by sweeping up 🙏🏽🤷🏽♀️ we enjoy sabbath I really look forward to it now it truly is a delight. we like to do worship together then I do a craft with my toddler after lunch I let her play while I read my bible or sometime will read kids bible to her. We find a kids bible movie to watch I also like watch the chosen it's on UA-cam the only downside for me is it uses wrong name. (jesus) not yahusha, If its nice we go for a walk or chill in the garden, we sometimes take naps and fellowship with my friend if she free. I'm also learning take time to study and learn as much as I can about the feast and also started doing them and teaching my toddler them. I also watch alot of teaching on UA-cam torah to the tribes are good 😊 I think yah looking at the heart that's what matters his sabbath really is a delight and a glimpse of what's to come. Pray and ask yahusha to help you on sabbath. Also I prepare all our food on Fridays (preparation day) and we always have lovely food on shabbat for me is preparing ready to feast with our King when he comes for his kids 🙏🏽🙌 learning to change our mindsets to yah mind so we become more like him in all our ways, maybe you could start a new hobbie like knitting or painting ect and do it while listen to worship music, it's about resting in yahuah and with him hope this helps. Bless you @Lisa hill 😊🙏🏽
@@sarahbeveridge397 thank you 🙏 I love everything you said and it really spoke to me . Especially the part about changing our mindset to Yah’s mind set . God bless you in your journey .
You ladies are AWESOME for encouraging and supporting one another in obedience to YHVH! 🤗 I will definitely be addressing what we ‘do’ on Shabbat during the summer series. Such an excellent suggestion. Thank you!! ❤️ ❤️
I have to ask how you would do a split custody situation? I only have my children every other sabbath, so when I don’t have them, knowing their dad doesn’t do sabbath, I make sabbath a day early every other week so my children don’t miss out! I pray God sees my good intentions.
I’ve not been in a similar situation to share from experience, but it sounds like you’re doing the best you can. 😊 I would just add to make sure your children know that when you celebrate it early, you’re ‘welcoming the Sabbath/learning about the Sabbath today,’ but that the actual day is the seventh day. 🙏 I pray you are further guided by the Holy Spirit in regards to raising up your children in His ways! 💕
@@WomenLivingTorah now I know why we aren’t supposed to mix with the heathen… thank you Father for your forgiveness and Grace! Thanks sister for replying 🙏🏼 Peace grace and love prayed for you.
Thank you for sharing Biblical truths! You are clear and to the point! I’m a Jewish believer in Christ but currently at a baptist church .... do you think it’s ok to stay if I myself keep the seventh day as sabbath but go to church Sunday or is it better to find a messianic gathering?
My personal opinion and experience is that it’s certainly okay to go to church services on Sunday (as long as we’re not neglecting YHVH’s sabbath commandment, as you said). That being said, I think for a lot of us (my husband and I included), it sometimes becomes difficult to stay due to the constant anti-Torah stances across the pulpit OR because the people there feel you are condemning them just because your lifestyle looks different; (you don’t have to accuse them for them to feel condemned). 😊
@@WomenLivingTorah thank you for your thoughtful reply!! Yes I like this church but I get tripped up with the secular holidays and Shabbat.... then I start feeling like I need to keep looking. Thanks again!!
These missionaries had similar challenges: ua-cam.com/video/p0-51CetkzA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/EIwMrLoHDT0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/yydVW-o7t84/v-deo.html
Bible scholar Dr. Nehemiah Gordon found the vowels to Yod Hey Vav Hay the name that was given to Moses by God and was forbidden to use by the Romans is Yehovah!!!! Look it up!
Back in the beginning of creation the meaning of Sabbath means rest and not a calendar day? God wanted to ensure we rested after 6 days of work, I’m confused because they didn’t have Mon-Sun calendars.
I have been trying to keep Yahweh’s true sabbath for a while now, John 14:15 Yashua says if you love me keep my commandments. I go to a Christian church on Sunday and they never mention anything about the Torah because they think we are under grace and the law is no more.
Try searching a Messianic Judaism church near you. If there isn’t one, search 7th day Adventist. I don’t necessarily agree with everything 7th day, but they do keep the Sabbath and they do believe in Yahweh and following the commandments.
Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of YHVH in all your dwellings. The Hebrew for ‘holy convocation’ is miqra kodesh. The Complete Word Study Bible says this about the word ‘miqra:’ H4744. מִקְרָא miqrā’: A masculine noun meaning a convocation, reading, a public meeting, and an assembly. This word usually refers to an assembly for religious purposes. The Passover included a holy convocation on the first and seventh days (Ex. 12:16); other festivals also included the gathering of the people (Num. 28:18, 25, 26; 29:1, 7, 12). This word can also mean reading in the sense of a public reading or that which is read in such a meeting. For example, Ezra read the Law of God to a gathering of the Israelites, explaining so the people could understand (Neh. 8:8). A ‘miqra kodesh’ specifically refers to a public reading of the Torah, which would indicate a gathering or assembly. If you do a word search for ‘miqra’ in Scripture, you will find it is used when calling an assembly for the reading of Torah. 😊 Hope that helps!
I’ve been trying not to cook on Shabbat but another Torah observant sister said that she does because there’s nothing in the Bible that prohibits it. She said that the passage where the Israelites gathered the manna, and that they weren’t supposed to cook on Shabbat, is in context of not cooking manna, but not cooking altogether. What do you think of this?
My personal perspective is that cooking the food for that day’s meal is fine; however, I do find preparing my meals ahead of time really facilitates my personal rest. I personally love cooking ahead because all the mental space and time that would go to thinking about what I’m going to cook, when I need to start it, the process of cooking it, and any clean up afterwards instead goes toward thinking about the Lord, Torah study and time with my family and fellow believers! To me, it’s a blessing to prepare my food ahead; however, I am of the perspective that it is not Biblically required. Some people have a different view & that all food must be prepared ahead of time, so I’d seek out their perspective and study it out for yourself! 😊 Thanks for asking!
Thank you! My husband and I are new to all of this! I have a question. What version of the Bible do you use? We have a KJV and the Tree of Life Jewish family Bible.
I primarily use KJV and the WEB (Catholic version because the orthodox version doesn’t contain all 66 books). My husband uses the Tree of Life version sometimes. 😊
Shannon, the following video is the story of an exemplary missionary whose name is Shannon! She had the same question about which Bible version. Eventually she learned Hebrew, so as to teach Jews about Jesus! ua-cam.com/video/EIwMrLoHDT0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/PbM46ZIq9EA/v-deo.htmlsi=vn-JUCDW6ecrL83S
There are differences of opinion about this topic. 😊 My understanding of the Scriptures about not kindling a fire are for the purposes of occupational work. So personally, we do think using the range/oven on Shabbat is fine (if it’s for that day’s food- not batch making food on Shabbat!). Others would disagree and might have a ‘Shabbat’ setting on their stove that allows them to pre light and continue to keep the fire going throughout Shabbat. Others may eat cold foods only. 😊
I am a jewess and just found out that I was a Jew through a DNA analysis. Now I want to keep the Sabbath on Saturday. What I want to know is as a day of rest besides the Lord I have a love for sewing is it wrong to do something that I enjoy on the Sabbath
One more rule about Sabbath, Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Thank you for sharing! I understand Isaiah 58 to be specifically referring to the ‘Sabbaths of Sabbaths,’ that is Yom haKippurim (day of the Atonements), which is why I did not reference it in this weekly Shabbat video. 😊 Blessings!!
@@WomenLivingTorah I don’t know if it’s appropriate time or place to ask about COVID vaccine but I would like to know what is your personal belief regarding it? I am personally against all vaccines or drugs that this world has to offer.
Christians please avoid Amazon, I cancelled my account with amazon after I saw them promote a movie called three 6 studio(they used the actual number not the spelling). Amazon is a place of buying and selling.
WRONG! Altogether wrong. Shabbos is an eternal sign between The Lord G-d of Israel and His people...The Jews. If you're not born Jewish or you've done an orthodox conversion, then you're not a Jew and can't keep Shabbos. Deuteronomy 31...go read!
I read Deuteronomy 31 last week, actually. 😊 Shabbat was instituted at creation BEFORE the nation of Israel was created and chosen. A mixed multitude came out of Egypt and were among Israel, as Moses spoke all his words, including the commandment concerning Sabbath. Repeatedly, when we are commanded to keep the Sabbath, we read ‘and for the stranger/foreigner among you’ (Exodus 20:8-11, for example). One of my favorite passages also is Isaiah 56:1-8, of which one Scripture is: Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love -- the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people. Scripture never delineates a need for conversion to Judaism, if one is a Gentile. But! There is unity among Israel and other God-fearers, for Scripture says one Torah is for both the native born and for the foreigner! So circumcision/sabbath/mikveh, etc are for all those that follow YHVH as God, regardless of nation they’re coming from. Through Abraham’s obedience and seed, ALL the nations of the earth will be blessed (mentioned several times in Genesis)! Israel through her obedience is to be an example to all the nations that YHVH is Most High and there is none beside, and of course, SOME of the nation will follow in faith (Ruth! Rahab! Egyptians! Persians!)!! I definitely find a lot of support for the nations that follow in faith are to be gathered with YHVH’s chosen people, Israel. (Not replace! Not become the same as! But with….) 😊 Many blessings! By the way, I responded because I had the opportunity to; however, please keep in mind that this is a lifestyle channel- not a theology channel, and so I do not feel obligated to discuss (and will never argue) certain foundational doctrines/topics, such as the relevance of Shabbat in my life. As a lifestyle channel, it just ‘is’ that I celebrate and keep the Shabbat, and as for the theology behind it, there are other channels dedicated to that kind of thing. I probably won’t be able to continue in this discussion just because I have many other comments coming in from ladies that are actually subscribed and are ‘my audience.’ Just fyi! 😊
His name is YHWH and Yahusha the christ is not ok but thank you kindly God is also called Elohim not God in English why because it's all about the words being used Praise YHWH thank you Yahusha
Great job on your videos. However, I just want to speak to your husband and confirm for him that you ARE allowed to wear colorful clothing and some modest make up. Even simple jewelry is allowed as Jesus did reform original laws through dying on the cross for us.
I do wear colorful clothing and a wedding ring, but I choose not to wear makeup. 😊 There’s nothing in the Torah prohibiting colorful clothing or jewelry that Yeshua would have ‘reformed.’ As for makeup, there are no prohibitions against it in the Scriptures, although the two references to it are in negative contexts. That being said, my objection to makeup is philosophical, not Scriptural. 😊
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE God’s Sabbath!! I love ‘having permission’ to not do anything but just read, study, and talk God’s Word ALL day long!! At our previous Congregation, we often left late in the evening (like 7ish!) because hunger drove us home. Haha (We shared lunch together; guess we should have brought dinner, too! Haha) 👇 👇 What do YOU love about Sabbath??
Can I ask, how did you find a congregation that believes this way?
I just love keeping the Shabbat!

I want to encourage anyone struggling with this. It still amazes me how beginning with this first step, has changed me and my family completely. I started observing Shabbat in 2017. And at first it was just me. After a year (and my learning expanded and understanding deepened), I had a talk with my husband and young adult daughter. I explained the commandment (not as well as Raquel) to them, how important it was that we all observe, and what it would mean to them. Basically they stopped doing household chores.

Fast forward to 2021, all three of us embrace and celebrate the Shabbat equally and together. My daughter in 2017 said, "i don't believe there is a God, and if there is, I want nothing to do with Him." Now, not only does she love Shabbat, but follows all of YHVH other commandments, reads her Bible, shares scripture and prays with us. The changes were slow and gradual. But it happened because of prayer and walking in Yeshua's footsteps. I really hope my testimony encourages someone. Thank you so much Raquel, Shalom!!!

Is it binding according to the commandment to prepare our food on friday?
That is debated; however, I do not believe it is commanded to prep ahead- but it is a wise tradition. Some would say it is commanded.
Thank you for sharing Biblical truths! You are clear and to the point! I’m a Jewish believer in Christ but currently at a baptist church .... do you think it’s ok to stay if I myself keep the seventh day as sabbath but go to church Sunday or is it better to find a messianic gathering?
My personal opinion and experience is that it’s certainly okay to go to church services on Sunday (as long as we’re not neglecting YHVH’s sabbath commandment, as you said). That being said, I think for a lot of us (my husband and I included), it sometimes becomes difficult to stay due to the constant anti-Torah stances across the pulpit OR because the people there feel you are condemning them just because your lifestyle looks different; (you don’t have to accuse them for them to feel condemned). 😊
@@WomenLivingTorah thank you for your thoughtful reply!! Yes I like this church but I get tripped up with the secular holidays and Shabbat.... then I start feeling like I need to keep looking. Thanks again!!
@@WomenLivingTorah well said, those places are not for Jewish followers of Yeshua. Also, there are other spirits ...

😁
Back in the beginning of creation the meaning of Sabbath means rest and not a calendar day? God wanted to ensure we rested after 6 days of work, I’m confused because they didn’t have Mon-Sun calendars.
The sabbath is specifically the seventh day, per the Scriptures, including at the beginning in Genesis 2:3. 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!!
I have been trying to keep Yahweh’s true sabbath for a while now, John 14:15 Yashua says if you love me keep my commandments. I go to a Christian church on Sunday and they never mention anything about the Torah because they think we are under grace and the law is no more.
Try searching a Messianic Judaism church near you. If there isn’t one, search 7th day Adventist. I don’t necessarily agree with everything 7th day, but they do keep the Sabbath and they do believe in Yahweh and following the commandments.
What scripture do you refer to that we are to congregate on the Sabbath?
Leviticus 23:3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of YHVH in all your dwellings.
The Hebrew for ‘holy convocation’ is miqra kodesh. The Complete Word Study Bible says this about the word ‘miqra:’
H4744. מִקְרָא miqrā’: A masculine noun meaning a convocation, reading, a public meeting, and an assembly. This word usually refers to an assembly for religious purposes. The Passover included a holy convocation on the first and seventh days (Ex. 12:16); other festivals also included the gathering of the people (Num. 28:18, 25, 26; 29:1, 7, 12). This word can also mean reading in the sense of a public reading or that which is read in such a meeting. For example, Ezra read the Law of God to a gathering of the Israelites, explaining so the people could understand (Neh. 8:8).
A ‘miqra kodesh’ specifically refers to a public reading of the Torah, which would indicate a gathering or assembly. If you do a word search for ‘miqra’ in Scripture, you will find it is used when calling an assembly for the reading of Torah. 😊 Hope that helps!
I’ve been trying not to cook on Shabbat but another Torah observant sister said that she does because there’s nothing in the Bible that prohibits it. She said that the passage where the Israelites gathered the manna, and that they weren’t supposed to cook on Shabbat, is in context of not cooking manna, but not cooking altogether. What do you think of this?
My personal perspective is that cooking the food for that day’s meal is fine; however, I do find preparing my meals ahead of time really facilitates my personal rest. I personally love cooking ahead because all the mental space and time that would go to thinking about what I’m going to cook, when I need to start it, the process of cooking it, and any clean up afterwards instead goes toward thinking about the Lord, Torah study and time with my family and fellow believers! To me, it’s a blessing to prepare my food ahead; however, I am of the perspective that it is not Biblically required. Some people have a different view & that all food must be prepared ahead of time, so I’d seek out their perspective and study it out for yourself! 😊 Thanks for asking!
It is ok to cook on Shabbat for Shabbat. Shalom

"You shall not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” Exodus 35:3
Thank you! My husband and I are new to all of this! I have a question. What version of the Bible do you use? We have a KJV and the Tree of Life Jewish family Bible.
I primarily use KJV and the WEB (Catholic version because the orthodox version doesn’t contain all 66 books). My husband uses the Tree of Life version sometimes. 😊
Shannon, the following video is the story of an exemplary missionary whose name is Shannon! She had the same question about which Bible version. Eventually she learned Hebrew, so as to teach Jews about Jesus!

Please can you tell me the bible you are using? Who is it produced by?
I would have to rewatch the video to know what translation I was using, but it was probably KJV or WEB. Those are the two I use most often. 😊
Can we use fire for heating precooked food on sabbath
There are differences of opinion about this topic. 😊 My understanding of the Scriptures about not kindling a fire are for the purposes of occupational work. So personally, we do think using the range/oven on Shabbat is fine (if it’s for that day’s food- not batch making food on Shabbat!). Others would disagree and might have a ‘Shabbat’ setting on their stove that allows them to pre light and continue to keep the fire going throughout Shabbat. Others may eat cold foods only. 😊
@@WomenLivingTorah Thankyou dear, God bless you
"You shall not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

What about the diet? Are we ad gentiles supposed to eat a Kosher diet?
I am a jewess and just found out that I was a Jew through a DNA analysis. Now I want to keep the Sabbath on Saturday. What I want to know is as a day of rest besides the Lord I have a love for sewing is it wrong to do something that I enjoy on the Sabbath

Do you go to the mikvah
Jesus did, with John the Baptist.
One more rule about Sabbath, Isaiah 58:13
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Thank you for sharing! I understand Isaiah 58 to be specifically referring to the ‘Sabbaths of Sabbaths,’ that is Yom haKippurim (day of the Atonements), which is why I did not reference it in this weekly Shabbat video. 😊 Blessings!!
@@WomenLivingTorah Oh, I never thought of it that way. Thank you for sharing! 😃
@@WomenLivingTorah I don’t know if it’s appropriate time or place to ask about COVID vaccine but I would like to know what is your personal belief regarding it? I am personally against all vaccines or drugs that this world has to offer.
We do not vaccinate- for reasons of faith, but also philosophical. 😊
@@WomenLivingTorah Thank you so much for reply! God bless you and Happy Sabbath! 💐
Christians please avoid Amazon, I cancelled my account with amazon after I saw them promote a movie called three 6 studio(they used the actual number not the spelling). Amazon is a place of buying and selling.
WRONG!
Altogether wrong.
Shabbos is an eternal sign between The Lord G-d of Israel and His people...The Jews. If you're not born Jewish or you've done an orthodox conversion, then you're not a Jew and can't keep Shabbos. Deuteronomy 31...go read!
I read Deuteronomy 31 last week, actually. 😊 Shabbat was instituted at creation BEFORE the nation of Israel was created and chosen. A mixed multitude came out of Egypt and were among Israel, as Moses spoke all his words, including the commandment concerning Sabbath. Repeatedly, when we are commanded to keep the Sabbath, we read ‘and for the stranger/foreigner among you’ (Exodus 20:8-11, for example). One of my favorite passages also is Isaiah 56:1-8, of which one Scripture is:
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love -- the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
Scripture never delineates a need for conversion to Judaism, if one is a Gentile. But! There is unity among Israel and other God-fearers, for Scripture says one Torah is for both the native born and for the foreigner! So circumcision/sabbath/mikveh, etc are for all those that follow YHVH as God, regardless of nation they’re coming from. Through Abraham’s obedience and seed, ALL the nations of the earth will be blessed (mentioned several times in Genesis)! Israel through her obedience is to be an example to all the nations that YHVH is Most High and there is none beside, and of course, SOME of the nation will follow in faith (Ruth! Rahab! Egyptians! Persians!)!! I definitely find a lot of support for the nations that follow in faith are to be gathered with YHVH’s chosen people, Israel. (Not replace! Not become the same as! But with….) 😊 Many blessings!
By the way, I responded because I had the opportunity to; however, please keep in mind that this is a lifestyle channel- not a theology channel, and so I do not feel obligated to discuss (and will never argue) certain foundational doctrines/topics, such as the relevance of Shabbat in my life. As a lifestyle channel, it just ‘is’ that I celebrate and keep the Shabbat, and as for the theology behind it, there are other channels dedicated to that kind of thing. I probably won’t be able to continue in this discussion just because I have many other comments coming in from ladies that are actually subscribed and are ‘my audience.’ Just fyi! 😊
His name is YHWH and Yahusha the christ is not ok but thank you kindly God is also called Elohim not God in English why because it's all about the words being used Praise YHWH thank you Yahusha
Great job on your videos. However, I just want to speak to your husband and confirm for him that you ARE allowed to wear colorful clothing and some modest make up. Even simple jewelry is allowed as Jesus did reform original laws through dying on the cross for us.
I do wear colorful clothing and a wedding ring, but I choose not to wear makeup. 😊 There’s nothing in the Torah prohibiting colorful clothing or jewelry that Yeshua would have ‘reformed.’ As for makeup, there are no prohibitions against it in the Scriptures, although the two references to it are in negative contexts. That being said, my objection to makeup is philosophical, not Scriptural. 😊
Shabbat Shalom 💙
