We have started a new Costa Rican blog! The reason for starting one is because my mom and I wanted to be able to share with you what is going on here, as well as putting it permanent, not just on Facebook or by e-mail.

We were very blessed this Passover. Had a great time with brothers and sisters in Messiah. I pray that next year we can do it with more people and with the community. This Passover was a big rush so we were almost not prepared but praise YHVH we got ready.
My friend and sister in Messiah Mrs. Suzanne McDaniel took pictures of Passover. Here is her blog post so you can see the pics. http://yhwhleads.blogspot.com/2011/04/passover.html Tell me if you know some of these people. :') Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emissary of Yahshua, Child of YHVH HalleluYAH!! I am so excited! The first feast of the renewed year of YHVH. One more year of remembering our freedom from slavery, how Yahshua was our passover lamb, and how through Him we will be passed over.
I want to look at the connections of Passover to Messiah. Here we go! 1.They killed a lamb VS Yahshua is our lamb who died. 2. They put the blood on the doorposts VS Yahshua's blood is on the doorposts of our heart when we believe. 3. YHVH saved the firstborns that had the blood on their doorposts (Belief that YHVH will save them) and killed the firstborns that didn't VS Yahshua will save the ones that have His blood (Belief that Yahshua will save them) on them and send the ones that didn't believe in His blood to eternal death. 4. They ate bread without leaven VS Yahshua is our bread without leaven(sin). 5. The unleavened bread(traditionally) is striped and pierced VS Yahshua was striped(or flogged: John 19:1) and pierced (John 19:34,37)(Isa 53:5). 6. They went through the Red Sea to be saved VS We go through Yahshua, the narrow way, to be saved. 7. They praised YHVH, the King of Israel VS We will praise Yahshua, the King of Israel!! Yahshua is our passover lamb, our striped and pierced unleavened bread, or narrow way, and OUR KING!!! HalleluYAH!!! Now, what are some of the things we do to remember the Passover? Well, we eat lamb, bitter herbs, and unleavened bread like it is commanded. Our family also eats Charoset(apples, honey, and cinnamon) to remember the bricks that that they made and horseradish to remember the bitterness of slavery. What kind of things do you do to remember the Passover? Comment please! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emissary of Yahshua, Child of YHVH HalleluYAH!! For your information: The VS isn't to put one against the other. It is to put a separation between them... This was absolutely amazing! I have never seen this before! Share this with others! It's history in the making!!:') Shalom!
Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emmisary of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH!! Shalom! Sorry I haven't been able to put anything up lately. I haven't had internet for a little while so here is my chance for me to put pics up. YAY!!! These pics are from the airplane and customs. I really like the 1st one. It was a very nice trip and the service was great. Nice line at customs too, I must say... The trip from San Jose to Arenal(1 hour from Liberia) wasn't a whole lot of fun. It is a lot of woods and hills and we got lost (Thanks Ms.Ann, the GPS) but we did take a few pics. We are staying with one of our families in Messiah, the McDaniels. They have been such a blessing to our family and are 1 of the reasons we came down here. You can see Mrs.McDaniel's blog at yhwhleads.blogspot.com. BTW: That little boy next to me in that one pic is named Rohan. He is the MAAANNNN!! Here is some of the yummy food we have and made. :') And finally, a few pics of the beautiful sunset, which looks cooler with the hills, doesn't it?
If you guys want me to send you more pics, let me know and I will send it to you personally. Have a blessed day! YHWH le Bendiga!! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emissary of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH!! Praise YHWH we made it here safely. The plane trip was great and everything here is so alive. We saw over 5 dozen fruit and veggie stands, and there are LOTS of fruit trees everywhere!! This is truly coming home for us. It reminds me of Puerto Rico. :')
We are ready to do HIS work. If you want to see what we are doing, or if you want to donate for our ministry in Central America, go to torah4ca.weebly.com. Shalom! I will put pictures up when I can. Christian Montanez Dodd Servant of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH!! YHWH Le Bendiga! Psalms 150
Praise Yah! Praise Ěl in His set-apart place; Praise Him in His mighty expanse! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the blowing of the ram’s horn; Praise Him with the harp and lyre! Praise Him with tambourine and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with sounding cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals! Let all that have breath praise Yah. Praise Yah! Psalms 118:24 This is the day יהוה has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I am truly rejoicing today, knowing that YHWH is in control of all and that He provides for even the smallestneed. My mom has been selling her shawls and tzitzit left and right and people, some of which we don't even know, have given us offering! 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks also to Elohim for His unspeakable gift! Another thing that I praise Him for is that we are leaving to Costa Rica in just 6 days! We will miss all of you but YHWH has such a great work for us in Central America, I just know it! Hey, you guys can come on down if you want! And most of all, I praise Him for sending Yahshua down to save me from the pagan ways that I was raised in. I thank Him for showing me that the Torah is still for us today and that by doing it we WILL be blessed! Praise Yah! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emissary of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH! I have been a missionary for 6+ years. I love YHWH for all He has done for me and all He has taught me. It all started out with these words from Isaiah 6:8,
"And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for Us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.” I was taught at a young age to do what HE says, not what I want to do. I have also been taught that when YHWH has put something in front of us, it is not for us to doubt but it is for us to LISTEN and OBEY(SHEMA!) We are ALL to share the good news to the nations. We are ALL to be Emmisaries for Yahshua. So I have a question. What does Yahshua say we are to teach them? Yahshua says in Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit, teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amen. This is an interesting point. I have a question. What does Yahshua command? And don't forget, he makes an interesting point in John 14:15 by saying, "If u love me, keep My Commandments." Well, that would be a very LONG teaching, but I have decided to make it as short as I can. Yahshua is the WORD of Yah(John 1:1). And what does the WORD say? Here is the short form... Exodus 20:1-18 And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. “You have no other mighty ones against My face. “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands. “You do not bring the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught. “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. “You do not murder. “You do not commit adultery. “You do not steal. “You do not bear false witness against your neighbor. “You do not covet your neighbor’s house, you do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.” Matthew 22:37-40 And יהושע said to him, “ ‘You shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind.’ “This is the first and great command. “And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ “On these two commands hang all the Torah and the Prophets.” To make it short, what did Yahshua command us to teach? Well, if He is the WORD of Yah, and He is the ALEPH and TAV, the FIRST and the LAST, the BEGINNING and the END, then what He told us to teach was the COMMANDS of YHWH! But wait, if Yahshua IS YHWH, then aren't they His commands too? YES! Clearly He taught us to obey Him since the BEGINNING! HalleluYAH! So in closing, Yahshua has been teaching us since the beginning to obey Him and to follow what the Torah says. He has commanded us to teach the nations with this truth: YHWH is LOVE, and to LOVE Him we must OBEY(Shema) His commands! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emmisary of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH! If there is anything you can add to this that corresponds to this, please comment. Shalom! In Scripture this word means to do what is right in the eyes of the Father,
or as most scholars of Scripture agree: "Righteousness is conformity to law, especially to the law, mind and will of YHWH, which is the norm of righteousness." In Deutoronomy_6:25 we read that righteousness requires of us: "To guard to do all these commands before יהוה Elohim, as He commanded us." In Psalms_119:172 the Psalmist says, "For all Your commands are righteousness." In Isaiah_51:7 we read, "Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My Torah." However before we start doing righteousness (the commands) we first need to be "declared right" by belief. We first need to have our sins forgiven, we first need to come to belief, to come into a covenant relationship with the Most High through His Son יהושע. On this point Sha’ul repeatedly spoke in Romans chapters 3, 4 and 5. In his day many Yehuḏim thought that because they were the descendants of Aḇraham, and were trying to keep the law their way, that they were right or righteous. No! They were putting the cart before the horse. We first need to believe and accept יהושע and His forgiveness, and then only does it become our privilege, and duty, to obey יהושע, as He commands us: Go and sin no more! And how do we KNOW what is sin and what is NOT? HIS TORAH! If we SHEMA(Hear AND Obey), then we shall be righteous, and we SHALL be perfect in all His ways, as He said in Matthew 5:48: "Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the heavens is perfect." Let us seek to be perfect, righteous in all HIS ways, NOT our ways! SHEMA YISRA'EL, YHWH ELOHIM, YHWH ECHAD!! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Servant and Emmisary of Messiah Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH!! Obey Yah's Voice!
"Shema Yisra'el!" This is the command that YHWH gave to Yisra'el in Deutoronomy 6:4, “Hear(Shema), O Yisra’el: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one! We are commanded to hear. But not just to hear. He commands us to obey in the same word! Shema means not just to hear, but to OBEY and DO what YHWH says. We are commanded to obey YHWH's instuctions and guidelines. And for me, it is such a blessing to do as my King commands, not just to say, "ok, I'll do it.", without heart. Because even if you do it and your heart isn't right with Him, then it is like you never did it. As Yahshua said in Matthew 15:8, "This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." Although Ya'aqoḇ was the first to be called by the name “Yisra'el,” we often read of Aḇraham being the father of Yisra'el. Elohim reveals to us how and why Aḇraham qualified to be the father of Yisra'el, for we read in Genesis 26:5, “Because Aḇraham obeyed My voice and guarded My charge: My commands, My laws, and My teachings.” Again, when Yisra'ĕl was saved out of Mitsrayim, the land of sin, He laid down His condition for Yisra'ĕl to be His people, as we read in Exodus 19:5–6, “If you diligently obey My voice, and shall guard My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession above all the peoples – for all the earth is Mine – and you yourselves become to Me a reign of priests and a set‐apart nation.” And for us it is no different, for Yahshua is the embodiment of that same Word, that same Voice, which we need to hear, and obey. Read about this vital necessity of obeying Yahshua – in: Matthew 7:24–27, Matthew 17:5, Luke 6:46–49, John 3:36, John 14:15, John 15:10, Acts 3:22–23, 1 John 2:3–6, Revelation 3:8–10, Revelation 12:17, and in Revelation 14:12. May YHWH bless you and may you "Shema" what He says!! Shalom! Christian Montanez Dodd Emissary of Yahshua, Child of YHWH HalleluYAH!! |
Shalom!
I asked for a corner in our ministry website so I can share what YHVH has put in my heart to write about. As I am learning I will post what I have found. Please pray for us as we go where Yah wants us to go, and, if YHVH puts it on your heart, please support my family. YHVH bless and keep you in HIS shalom! How to comment:
