Greetings in the Mighty NAME of YaHWeH, Elohim
of Hosts and King of kings.  Through the precious
blood of His Son He has saved those who are His
to the uttermost...

Recently we received an anonymous feedback report. We always
appreciate feedback even from those who are unwilling to be
counted for their convictions. We want to "prove all things
and hold fast that which is good." 1Th 5:21  In the feedback
report this individual complained that our encouragement and
material is too broad and not focused enough on the marriage
problem.  They directed us to either change our name
consistent with our mission or to align with the name we
use.

We want to address the anonymous in this reply and trust it
will be helpful to all who read it. We did not choose the
name of this ministry.  It was chosen for us from above.  We
did not write, based on our OWN thoughts, the belief
statement which has been posted on our website for seven
years now.  The name, the mission, the belief statement and
all we have endeavored to do as a ministry has been led by
the Spirit of the Most High and as long as we remain obedient
to the direction He has and continues to give us we will be
satisfied with the results.

You see, the Scriptures clealy teach the children of the
Everlasting One that we are not to lean on OUR OWN understanding
but in ALL OUR WAYS to acknowlege Him and HE WILL DIRECT our
paths.  (Pro 3:5-6)  He has been doing that faithfully for all
these years.  Why should we change now because Mr. or Mrs.
Anonymous has a different agenda?  You see, the Word of the
Faithful One says:

  For Yahweh Elohim is a sun and shield: Yahweh will give
  grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them
  that walk uprightly. Psa 84:11

Elsewhere it says that:

  Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth
  favour of [from] Yahweh  Pro 18:22

So.. our heavenly Father shows that a wife was intended to
be a "good thing."  A man who has a wife that loves and
blesses him has truly found a good thing and obtained the
favor of the Most High.  He promises that He will withhold
no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

Is a wife a good thing?

We have been witness to the selfishness and idolatry which
exists in the so-called "standers" communities.  Those, like
our anonymous critic who want what they want more than they
want what the Father wants.  They are too busy for His kingdom
and His righteousness because they are obsessed with their
kingdoms and their own desires.

We love the union that YaHWeH joins together.  It is a most
beautiful and sacred thing.  A very "good thing" indeed.
We have and do pray earnestly and fervently for those whose
hearts are searching FOR HIM with all their might.  And even
for those who are not.  We pray that the Almighty will grant
them repentance to the opening of their eyes that they might
see the error of their ways and repent... to be set free from
the snare of the devil.

King Solomon prayed a most beautiful prayer and I want to
share part of that prayer with you:

  "Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and
  forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his
  ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the
  hearts of the children of men:) 2Ch 6:30

You see, our Heavenly Father showed us long ago that we did
not need to teach or put the focus on obtaining your desire.
It isn't important to teach men and women how to get their
marriage healed.  Because the Almighty will withhold no good
thing from THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY.  Don't you know the
promise of Yahweh:

   Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
   pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luk 12:32

Those who are ruled by fear and by obsession are not by any
means surrendered to or trusting the Spirit of the Father
to "perfect that which concerns you" Psa 138:8

We love Yahweh, we love His Word and His people and we will
serve them on His agenda, not the agenda of man.  If people
will learn to love Him with all their hearts and walk in all
His statutes, precepts and commandments, keeping the Sabbath,
observing His set-apart feast days, purifying their hearts
and cleansing their hands, loving not their OWN lives even
unto death but being will to FORSAKE ALL for His sake...

This is His promise to such as them:

   And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
   sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or
   lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
   and shall inherit everlasting life.

No thanks to our anonymous critic.  We will not change our
name nor the work which we do.  We'll continue to look to
our heavenly Father to lead and guide us both in the way
everlasting and in the feeding of HIS sheep...

Shalom

We are still looking for individuals who have a desire
to be used in the work of the kingdom.  The kingdom we
speak of is HIS kingdom for there is only one kingdom,
one King and one blood whereby those who are heirs in
this kingdom have received.  We play a part in that
kingdom.
