Welcome to Faith Lenders International
This website was designed to help believers conduct studies on various Scriptural (Biblical) subjects to assist in becoming a doer of the word and live a YAH like life, a life pleasing to Yahuah the Most High God.
The Website is not affiliated with any denomination or religious group and was designed to help the believer understand YHWH's principles of Scripture (the Bible) in an unbiased view to help the believer to build a closer relationship with YAH in their daily lives and help true believers live a disciplined, surrendered and obedient lifestyle which empowers the believer to become more than a conqueror both physically and spiritually, bringing them into YAH 's perfect will for their life.
We will bring individual teachings to you according to biblical scriptures, using the Bible, Hebrew and Greek translations, plus other supporting resources to give the best possible understanding of each subject, so you can easily study and break it down to give a more focused view as to how we should live our lives and become transformed into the likeness of YAH .
True victorious YAH like living is a continuous life makeover to become who YAH intended you to be and fulfill what YHWH ordained for your life, to live a life full of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Happiness, Power and Authority as the norm instead of the exception!
The Bible gives specific instructions about how we are to live as Believers. If you will discipline your life and start to desire and do YHWH ’s will for your life, he will bless you in more ways than you could ever imagine.
Inherently, the true believers life requires a certain commitment that most find difficult to fulfill. The process of our Spiritual refining is similar to the refining of gold and silver, which are refined at high temperatures and very high pressure to remove all the impurities and bring out the purest quality, thus making it most valuable.
So the same can be said about YAH’s purification process which draws us out of our sinful lifestyles and begins removing all the impurities that have been built up over our entire lives. These impurities are accumulated through sinful sexual relations and perversions, Drug and alcohol abuse, rejection, physical and emotional abuse, abandonment, generational curses and many other thing that cause hate, anger and rage to build up within us, which most don’t recognized as being things that separate us from being able to hear YAH's voice, operate in his gifting and power or even feel what true love is all about.
Not all who call themselves believers or Chosen will make it to become a refined product pleasing unto YAH. Some will falter along the way unfortunately and many will be deceived into believing they are OK just how they are, because they are saved and go to church, thus they will never grow in their relationship and understanding about who YAH really is and what he really expects from his chosen people, so they will never see true victory in there lives.
Some will say that it is impossible to live by faith and the instructions YAH has established in his word and will chose their own path or their own way of expressing their faith, hence the many divisions and heresies we see in denominations and religions today. If you are facing trying situations don't allow them to rob you of your victory? The Bible tells us that YAH is your refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble Psalms 46:1.
You are not alone, Yahushua has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 12:13
Turn your attention to YAH and His Word. Put your trust in him and He will strengthen you with His peace. “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3
By faith, release your cares, your concerns and worries to Him. Trust Him to work out the end result. He will either change your circumstance or will change you to deal with them! Take His rest and peace upon you, believing that He has taken the burden from you. "Cast all your cares upon him because he cares for you"
1 Peter 5:7
Circumstances should never threaten the joy and victory of a believer. "Who shall separate us from the love of YAH ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" Romans 8:35, 37
Those who endure the trials of life, will grow in a deep, trusting and confident relationship with their YAH and their faith will be strong enough to believe YAH is able to perform what he has promised and they will command the mountains in their lives to be moved and they will see the hand of YAH move it for them. We must remember that in ALL things YAH works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose Romans 8:28
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly YAH loves us, because he has given us the Ruach ha Kodesh to fill our hearts with his Love. Romans 5:3-5
Living the set apart life does not mean a life of ease and never experiencing problems. There is an enemy who wishes to destroy us: "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 But Jesus has overcome the world and so can we! We are not defined by our troubles in this life, but how we choose to react to life’s troubles is what defines us.
No matter what opposition you face, living the YAH like life is worth it! Enjoying a relationship with YAH and His Son Yahushua, being confident of where you will spend eternity and living in day-to-day fellowship with Him is far greater than any opposition you may face.
Now that you are a believer and are in fellowship with YAH, you will want to learn more about how to draw and grow closer to Him. The Bible calls this growing "in the grace and knowledge of our ha Mashiach and Savior Yahushua" 2 Peter 3:18
The scriptures teach that every believer will face many trials and disappointments in this life and He promises to deliver us from them all. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the YAH delivered him out of them all" Psalms 34:19.
However, we must understand, our deliverance and victory may not always mean the immediate change of our circumstances. YAH may not always choose to change some external circumstances immediately. Instead, He will change you internally so that you can "endure" the circumstances. This is what Paul meant when he said he could be "content" regardless of what state he found himself Philippians 4:11
Despite our circumstances, we can have victory and peace in our heart, with the patience to endure until He alters our situation YAH wants all his children to live a victorious life. However, this is only possible through the walk of faith. "this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" 1 John 5:4
Faith is that which makes us overcomers against all the trials and circumstances of his world 1 John 5:4
A victorious life of faith no longer lives by feelings, emotions or circumstances. It is no longer controlled by discouragement or depression. As believers, we live and abide according to what the Word of YAH says, not by what the circumstances say. "We walk by faith and not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7.
Faith is what brings victory to you situation.
What does the Bible say about how to live the YAH like life?
Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish council, went to Jesus during the night to discover how to live the YAH like life. Yahusha explains to Nicodemus that he must be born again: "…I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of YAH unless he is born from above" John 3:3. Salvation is the beginning step in living a YAH like life. Yahusha said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Yahushua encourages all believers to grow in relationship, commitment, surrender and obedience to Him. This is the essence of how to live a YAH like life. Our relationship, commitment, surrender and obedience are done out of love, not constraint. "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." John 14:21
living a YAH like life is not following a set of strict rules and laws. The Key is growing in our relationship with YAH and desiring to become more like him, by being a doer of the word, meaning do as the word of YAH says. Just hearing or knowing the word does no good, but putting the word into action and becoming what the word says is what changes us and brings us into alignment with the will of YHWH and this is the key to seeing the promises of YAH manifest in our lives.
Study the Bible daily not just read it!
The Bible is YAH's inspired Word, the Bible says Yahusha is the Word, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with YAH, and the Word was YAH , John1:1. Yahushua is called the "Word" (Logos) in Greek and Logos was used for YAH . John declares that in the beginning Logos existed, He was with YAH and Logos was YAH .
This shows the complex nature of YAH. Yahushua is none other than YAH Himself. John said that, Yahushua is the eternal YAH who was from the beginning and He came down in the form of human flesh... So, by studying the Bible daily or meditating on the word of YAH Daily you are learning who YAH really is and entering into relationship with the Word of YAH or Yahushua and you will become the likeness of the word as it transforms you.
YAH says to meditate on His word day and night so we will obey it Joshua 1:8
The psalmist says "his delight is in the law of YAH, and in His law he meditates day and night" Psalm 1:2
Be diligent to present yourself approved before YAH, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the truth 2 Timothy 2:15
Besides revealing the Good News about forgiveness and eternal life, it can also answer the many questions you will have as you try to live a life that pleases YAH. It will enable you to be "thoroughly equipped for every good work" 2 Timothy 3:17
Suggestions as you begin studying the Bible on a daily basis:
1. Try studying the New Testament books in order
2. This will help you understand the basic facts about the Gospel.
3. Then study Acts, to see how YAH's first disciples spread the Good News of His death and resurrection.
4. Next, read some of the letters that Yahusha's apostles wrote to these first disciples, all of whom were new in their faith, just like you. These letters include Romans through 3 John.
6. Think about what you read; study and analyze it. The Bible not only reveals YAH to us; it contains greater wisdom than all the other books in the world.
7. Study through the Psalms, the Old Testament book of worship, to enrich your devotion to YAH .
8. Study Proverbs to gain wisdom and common sense, and to strengthen your relationships with other people.
9. Pray for understanding ask the Ruach ha Kodesh to help you and you will begin to see life from YAH 's perspective. Whenever you can, talk with other believers about what you are learning.
Ask the Spirit of YHWH to direct your studies and of course prayer and you will find it will be more effective and you will begin to hear the voice of YAH, through the word, through your prayers and through your thoughts.
Pray daily
Talk with YAH often. Pray over your situations with Him. Let Him bear the weight of your troubles. Matthew 11:28; 1 Peter 5:7
Praise and thank YAH for who He is and for what He has done for you. Admit your weaknesses. Confess each specific sin that you are aware of. Pray for others that they, too may receive Yahusha as their ha Mashiach and Messiah.
Suggestions for your daily devotional time for prayer and studying YAH’s word:
Depend on the Ruach ha Kodesh
YAH is actually three in one: YHWH/Yahuah the Father, the Son Yahusha (known as Jesus), and Ruach (Spirit) ha (the) Kodesh (Separator) (known as the Holy Spirit). The Bible teaches that the Ruach ha Kodesh actually lives within every true surrendered and obedient believer in Yahusha. John 14:16-17
The Bible says that the Ruach ha Kodesh, as He lives inside you, is your counselor, helping you understand the truth revealed in YAH's Word: "The Counselor, the Ruach ha Kodesh, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" John 14:26
The Ruach ha Kodesh is also the Power of YAH and he gives you power over the powers of the enemy, for Healing, casting out Demons and every other gift of the Ruach ha Kodesh. The Ruach ha Kodesh will teach you, guide you and strengthen you in your times of need.
Manifestations of YAH ’s presence in our lives
What is a manifestation? It is a sign, demonstration, appearance or an expression. Now Yahusha did not have any problem receiving a manifestation of YAH’s presence in his life. When he prayed, people were healed. When he commanded demons they came out of those who were possessed he also turning water into wine and feed 5000, Yahushu was in a position to receive the manifestation.
When you are sick, you can receive healing, when you are faced with debt you can have provision, when you are anxious, you can have peace that surpasses all understanding, when YAH gives you a dream or vision that is bigger than you he will provide the finances.
Where do you want to be in your relationship with YAH when life’s issues come your way? You want to be in a position to receive, you want to be in the center of YAH will and you want to be in close personal relationship with the one that is able to give you all the things we have discussed and even more.
Witnessing to others about Yahusha
Letting others know about your new life in YAH, though word and by action can be one of the most satisfying and exciting experiences you can ever have. The apostle Peter encourages us to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" 1 Peter 3:15
Gather together regularly with other believers
When you received Yahusha as your personal Messiah and Savior, you begin a relationship not only with Him, but also with all other believers, we should not stop gathering together with other believers, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of Yahusha's coming Hebrews 10:25
You will grow in understanding by hearing YAH 's Word preached and taught. You can ask questions and discuss Scripture with others. You will learn to worship YAH, which means praising Him for all that He is and thanking Him for all that He has done for you.
As you worship, learn and serve with other believers, you will find individuals with whom you can form lasting friendships, friendships that will last for all eternity!.
Be a helper
You will find that the more you give yourself in service to others, helping those in need, the more you will enjoy your Set Apart life and the more YAH will use you to bless others as he blesses you. "For we are YAH 's workmanship, created in Yahushua to do good works, which YAH prepared in advance for us to do" Ephesians 2:10
Conquer your doubts
At times you may doubt that you really are a child of YAH : There will be struggles in your YAH like life. You may find yourself thinking about things that you feel believers shouldn't be thinking about.
You may be troubled by some unconfessed sin, so search deep within yourself and repent of all your sins and get past them, so you can live free because you are forgiven.
When these things happen, it is important to remember that you are not saved by your goodness or your works, but by the grace of YAH and because of what Yahusha has done for you. Reassure yourself with the fact that, if you have received Yahusha by faith, you are a child of YAH.
"I AM" Confession
I am not what I feel
I am not what others think
I am not what circumstances say
I am not what symptoms may be; I am what YAH says I am.
I can do what YAH says I can do
I can have what YAH says I can have
I can be what YAH says I can be
I can go where YAH says I can go.
I am not lost, I am found
I am not blind, I see
I am not sick, I am well
I am not poor, I am rich
I am not bound, I am free.
I am saved, because YAH says I am saved
I am healed, because YAH says I am healed
I am rich, because YAH says I am rich
I am free, because YAH says I am free
I am not going under, I am going over
I am not going down, I am going up
I am not going to die, I am going to live
I am not defeated; I am more than a conqueror
Live one day at a time
Too often our lives become filled with anxiety. We worry ourselves sick about what might happen tomorrow. The Bible says we are not to be anxious about what might happen tomorrow. Matthew 6:33-34
The Bible also promises that, "Your strength will equal your days" Deuteronomy 33:25. In other words, YAH 's grace will be sufficient to meet the challenges of each new day. As you realize YAH 's power, comfort and strength through life's experiences, you will grow in your faith.
Dealing with temptation
Temptation is a part of life. It was before you received YAH, and it still will be. It is not a sin to have wrong thoughts from time to time. It is, however, a sin to choose to dwell on such thoughts over and over again.
The Bible says, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak" Matthew 26:41
When Yahusha was tempted in the wilderness, He replied to the devil by quoting Scripture. Three times He said, "It is written..." Matthew 4:4, 7, 10. Be prepared to resisit temptation, through prayer and through your knowledge of YAH 's Word.
The Bible says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And YAH is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it". 1 Corinthians 10:13
Be prepared to take advantage of YAH's "way out" of temptation, whether it means that you "flee" the scene of the temptation 1 Timothy 6:11, or that you stay on the scene and "resist" it James 4:7
Sowing and Reaping
"Do not be deceived, YAH is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Galatians 6:7-9
Sowing is a universal truth that every farmer understands. The farmer wants to produce a crop, but first he must put out the seed of the particular crops that he desires. Paul understood that this principle applies to each of our lives in the same way. Each of us are sowers. What do we sow? We sow thoughts, words and actions and even money. Where do we sow? We sow into the lives of others, to ourselves and unto YAH. What we sow determines our crop and the harvest we receive.
We can please or yield to the sensual, selfish, disobedient and the carnal part of our human nature, that part that was left over from our old life when we were separated from YAH, Paul tells us a harvest of destruction, decay and ruin and the wages or results of sin are death and separation from YAH .
The acts of the sinful nature or the works of the flesh are obvious; Paul mentions these behaviors earlier in Galatians chapter five:
sexual immorality – fornication, adultery and incest
uncleanness - immorality
lustfulness - contempt of what is proper, lustfulness
idolatry - the worship of the creature rather than the Creator
sorcery - a secret tampering with and worship of the powers of evil
hatred - the opposite of apage love
strife - discord, quarreling, rivalry, contention; the natural outcome of hatred
jealousy - desires to have the same or the same sort of thing for itself
outbursts of anger – fierceness, indignation, wrath, hot anger
rivalries and divisions – intrigue, faction, contention, strife; it is the fruit of jealousy
dissensions – a disunion or standing apart
heresies - a self-willed opinion, which is substituted for submission to the power of truth, and leads to division and the formation of sects
factions - divisions, a party or disunion
envying – ill will, spite, desires to deprive another of what he has
drunkenness - habitual intoxication
orgies – Group sex and other similar practices
Those who live like this WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of YAH.
As we apply the word, it penetrates our thoughts and is demonstrated in our words and actions. The word begins to come alive in our relationships with others and our relationship with YAH. We begin to experience a harvest of the fruits of the Spirit; which will flow through us to others, which reveals YAH’s attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control: An abundant and satisfying life. As Yahusha said, “I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly,” John 10:10
So you want to have this abundant and satisfying life? Then stay lined up with YAH’s word. Keep on studying it daily. It will keep you in step with YAH and away from fulfilling the desires of the flesh.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Yahushua for good works, which YAH prepared before that we would walk in them,” Ephesians 2:10
As you continue studying this website be sure to become a doer of the word, in other words put these principles into practice in your life and as they take root in your life and begin to grow, you will naturally begin to produce what has been sown into your life as YAH intended it to be.This was the purpose of creating this website, to bring all these important subjects that the Bible and Yahusha spoke about and condense them into individual studies to help us learn, understand and implement these valuable lessons into our daily lives, so we can follow the principles and commandments the word of YAH has given us to live our lives pleasing before YAH so we can have power and victory in this life.
The Website is not affiliated with any denomination or religious group and was designed to help the believer understand YHWH's principles of Scripture (the Bible) in an unbiased view to help the believer to build a closer relationship with YAH in their daily lives and help true believers live a disciplined, surrendered and obedient lifestyle which empowers the believer to become more than a conqueror both physically and spiritually, bringing them into YAH 's perfect will for their life.

True victorious YAH like living is a continuous life makeover to become who YAH intended you to be and fulfill what YHWH ordained for your life, to live a life full of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Happiness, Power and Authority as the norm instead of the exception!
The Bible gives specific instructions about how we are to live as Believers. If you will discipline your life and start to desire and do YHWH ’s will for your life, he will bless you in more ways than you could ever imagine.

By faith, release your cares, your concerns and worries to Him. Trust Him to work out the end result. He will either change your circumstance or will change you to deal with them! Take His rest and peace upon you, believing that He has taken the burden from you. "Cast all your cares upon him because he cares for you"
1 Peter 5:7
Circumstances should never threaten the joy and victory of a believer. "Who shall separate us from the love of YAH ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" Romans 8:35, 37
Those who endure the trials of life, will grow in a deep, trusting and confident relationship with their YAH and their faith will be strong enough to believe YAH is able to perform what he has promised and they will command the mountains in their lives to be moved and they will see the hand of YAH move it for them. We must remember that in ALL things YAH works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose Romans 8:28
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly YAH loves us, because he has given us the Ruach ha Kodesh to fill our hearts with his Love. Romans 5:3-5
Living the set apart life does not mean a life of ease and never experiencing problems. There is an enemy who wishes to destroy us: "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 But Jesus has overcome the world and so can we! We are not defined by our troubles in this life, but how we choose to react to life’s troubles is what defines us.
No matter what opposition you face, living the YAH like life is worth it! Enjoying a relationship with YAH and His Son Yahushua, being confident of where you will spend eternity and living in day-to-day fellowship with Him is far greater than any opposition you may face.
Now that you are a believer and are in fellowship with YAH, you will want to learn more about how to draw and grow closer to Him. The Bible calls this growing "in the grace and knowledge of our ha Mashiach and Savior Yahushua" 2 Peter 3:18
The scriptures teach that every believer will face many trials and disappointments in this life and He promises to deliver us from them all. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the YAH delivered him out of them all" Psalms 34:19.
However, we must understand, our deliverance and victory may not always mean the immediate change of our circumstances. YAH may not always choose to change some external circumstances immediately. Instead, He will change you internally so that you can "endure" the circumstances. This is what Paul meant when he said he could be "content" regardless of what state he found himself Philippians 4:11
Despite our circumstances, we can have victory and peace in our heart, with the patience to endure until He alters our situation YAH wants all his children to live a victorious life. However, this is only possible through the walk of faith. "this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" 1 John 5:4
Faith is that which makes us overcomers against all the trials and circumstances of his world 1 John 5:4
A victorious life of faith no longer lives by feelings, emotions or circumstances. It is no longer controlled by discouragement or depression. As believers, we live and abide according to what the Word of YAH says, not by what the circumstances say. "We walk by faith and not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7.
Faith is what brings victory to you situation.
What does the Bible say about how to live the YAH like life?
Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish council, went to Jesus during the night to discover how to live the YAH like life. Yahusha explains to Nicodemus that he must be born again: "…I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of YAH unless he is born from above" John 3:3. Salvation is the beginning step in living a YAH like life. Yahusha said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Yahushua encourages all believers to grow in relationship, commitment, surrender and obedience to Him. This is the essence of how to live a YAH like life. Our relationship, commitment, surrender and obedience are done out of love, not constraint. "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." John 14:21
living a YAH like life is not following a set of strict rules and laws.

- Plan a specific time, preferably in the morning (your first fruit) when your mind is fresh and rested.
- Make it a habit!
- Select a quiet place where you can be alone with YAH.
- Make a list of requests for others as well as yourself.
- Read and meditate on a portion of Scripture, then spend time in prayer.
- As you end your day with YAH, thank him for the day and for all the blessings of the day.
Depend on the Ruach ha Kodesh
YAH is actually three in one: YHWH/Yahuah the Father, the Son Yahusha (known as Jesus), and Ruach (Spirit) ha (the) Kodesh (Separator) (known as the Holy Spirit). The Bible teaches that the Ruach ha Kodesh actually lives within every true surrendered and obedient believer in Yahusha. John 14:16-17
The Bible says that the Ruach ha Kodesh, as He lives inside you, is your counselor, helping you understand the truth revealed in YAH's Word: "The Counselor, the Ruach ha Kodesh, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" John 14:26
The Ruach ha Kodesh is also the Power of YAH and he gives you power over the powers of the enemy, for Healing, casting out Demons and every other gift of the Ruach ha Kodesh. The Ruach ha Kodesh will teach you, guide you and strengthen you in your times of need.
Manifestations of YAH ’s presence in our lives
What is a manifestation? It is a sign, demonstration, appearance or an expression. Now Yahusha did not have any problem receiving a manifestation of YAH’s presence in his life. When he prayed, people were healed. When he commanded demons they came out of those who were possessed he also turning water into wine and feed 5000, Yahushu was in a position to receive the manifestation.
When you are sick, you can receive healing, when you are faced with debt you can have provision, when you are anxious, you can have peace that surpasses all understanding, when YAH gives you a dream or vision that is bigger than you he will provide the finances.
Where do you want to be in your relationship with YAH when life’s issues come your way? You want to be in a position to receive, you want to be in the center of YAH will and you want to be in close personal relationship with the one that is able to give you all the things we have discussed and even more.
Witnessing to others about Yahusha
Letting others know about your new life in YAH, though word and by action can be one of the most satisfying and exciting experiences you can ever have. The apostle Peter encourages us to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" 1 Peter 3:15
Gather together regularly with other believers
When you received Yahusha as your personal Messiah and Savior, you begin a relationship not only with Him, but also with all other believers, we should not stop gathering together with other believers, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of Yahusha's coming Hebrews 10:25
You will grow in understanding by hearing YAH 's Word preached and taught. You can ask questions and discuss Scripture with others. You will learn to worship YAH, which means praising Him for all that He is and thanking Him for all that He has done for you.
As you worship, learn and serve with other believers, you will find individuals with whom you can form lasting friendships, friendships that will last for all eternity!.
Be a helper
You will find that the more you give yourself in service to others, helping those in need, the more you will enjoy your Set Apart life and the more YAH will use you to bless others as he blesses you. "For we are YAH 's workmanship, created in Yahushua to do good works, which YAH prepared in advance for us to do" Ephesians 2:10
Conquer your doubts
At times you may doubt that you really are a child of YAH : There will be struggles in your YAH like life. You may find yourself thinking about things that you feel believers shouldn't be thinking about.
You may be troubled by some unconfessed sin, so search deep within yourself and repent of all your sins and get past them, so you can live free because you are forgiven.
When these things happen, it is important to remember that you are not saved by your goodness or your works, but by the grace of YAH and because of what Yahusha has done for you. Reassure yourself with the fact that, if you have received Yahusha by faith, you are a child of YAH.

Live one day at a time
Too often our lives become filled with anxiety. We worry ourselves sick about what might happen tomorrow. The Bible says we are not to be anxious about what might happen tomorrow. Matthew 6:33-34
The Bible also promises that, "Your strength will equal your days" Deuteronomy 33:25. In other words, YAH 's grace will be sufficient to meet the challenges of each new day. As you realize YAH 's power, comfort and strength through life's experiences, you will grow in your faith.
Dealing with temptation
Temptation is a part of life. It was before you received YAH, and it still will be. It is not a sin to have wrong thoughts from time to time. It is, however, a sin to choose to dwell on such thoughts over and over again.
The Bible says, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak" Matthew 26:41
When Yahusha was tempted in the wilderness, He replied to the devil by quoting Scripture. Three times He said, "It is written..." Matthew 4:4, 7, 10. Be prepared to resisit temptation, through prayer and through your knowledge of YAH 's Word.
The Bible says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And YAH is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it". 1 Corinthians 10:13
Be prepared to take advantage of YAH's "way out" of temptation, whether it means that you "flee" the scene of the temptation 1 Timothy 6:11, or that you stay on the scene and "resist" it James 4:7
Sowing and Reaping
"Do not be deceived, YAH is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Galatians 6:7-9
Sowing is a universal truth that every farmer understands. The farmer wants to produce a crop, but first he must put out the seed of the particular crops that he desires. Paul understood that this principle applies to each of our lives in the same way. Each of us are sowers. What do we sow? We sow thoughts, words and actions and even money. Where do we sow? We sow into the lives of others, to ourselves and unto YAH. What we sow determines our crop and the harvest we receive.
We can please or yield to the sensual, selfish, disobedient and the carnal part of our human nature, that part that was left over from our old life when we were separated from YAH, Paul tells us a harvest of destruction, decay and ruin and the wages or results of sin are death and separation from YAH .
The acts of the sinful nature or the works of the flesh are obvious; Paul mentions these behaviors earlier in Galatians chapter five:
sexual immorality – fornication, adultery and incest
uncleanness - immorality
lustfulness - contempt of what is proper, lustfulness
idolatry - the worship of the creature rather than the Creator
sorcery - a secret tampering with and worship of the powers of evil
hatred - the opposite of apage love
strife - discord, quarreling, rivalry, contention; the natural outcome of hatred
jealousy - desires to have the same or the same sort of thing for itself
outbursts of anger – fierceness, indignation, wrath, hot anger
rivalries and divisions – intrigue, faction, contention, strife; it is the fruit of jealousy
dissensions – a disunion or standing apart
heresies - a self-willed opinion, which is substituted for submission to the power of truth, and leads to division and the formation of sects
factions - divisions, a party or disunion
envying – ill will, spite, desires to deprive another of what he has
drunkenness - habitual intoxication
orgies – Group sex and other similar practices
Those who live like this WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of YAH.
As we apply the word, it penetrates our thoughts and is demonstrated in our words and actions. The word begins to come alive in our relationships with others and our relationship with YAH. We begin to experience a harvest of the fruits of the Spirit; which will flow through us to others, which reveals YAH’s attributes of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control: An abundant and satisfying life. As Yahusha said, “I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly,” John 10:10
So you want to have this abundant and satisfying life? Then stay lined up with YAH’s word. Keep on studying it daily. It will keep you in step with YAH and away from fulfilling the desires of the flesh.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Yahushua for good works, which YAH prepared before that we would walk in them,” Ephesians 2:10
As you continue studying this website be sure to become a doer of the word, in other words put these principles into practice in your life and as they take root in your life and begin to grow, you will naturally begin to produce what has been sown into your life as YAH intended it to be.This was the purpose of creating this website, to bring all these important subjects that the Bible and Yahusha spoke about and condense them into individual studies to help us learn, understand and implement these valuable lessons into our daily lives, so we can follow the principles and commandments the word of YAH has given us to live our lives pleasing before YAH so we can have power and victory in this life.
