I used to wonder why people stay in churches for years, decades even, and never grow. They never stop sucking on the teat, and they never grow to be able to handle the real meat of the Word. They remain stuck as babies.
This is what we use whenever we have muscle pain or headaches. This will also work on migraines.
As a child of Yahweh, obedience is not a choice, it is required. From cover to cover, from Genesis to Revelation, the Holy Bible stresses the importance of obeying the law. In fact, in many places, it doesn’t just say obey it, but GUARD it. If you guard something, you protect it with everything in you. We should do that with the commandments of Yahweh.
A winepress looks much different now than it did in Yahusha’s day, but they operate on the same precept. Pressure is applied in some way to squeeze the grapes in order to get the grapes to release their sweet juice. Pressure cannot be applied indiscriminately, though; care must be exercised. The pressure has to be carefully controlled or the seeds inside will be crushed and will release bitter tannins into the juice, making the juice unpalatable and certainly not good for making wine.
Mexican Chili – Roasted Salsa – My aunt Laverne was a beautiful Mexican woman who I loved dearly. She used to make and can (preserve) the best salsa I have ever tasted. Our family nicknamed it “Mexican Chili,” and that is the name it still carries in her honor. She moved away, halfway across the US, when I was younger, and unfortunately, she passed away many years ago. I tried unsuccessfully to get her recipe from her children, but no one had it. I created this recipe in her honor.
For Verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18
If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
For months we have had a huge jar of nuts. Did I mention it was huge? We didn’t want to eat it, but “it costs too much” to just throw away.
Have you ever been so hungry that once you were able to eat, you ate until you were so full you could barely move? Have you ever been so thirsty with your lips parched, your mouth dry, beads of salty sweat drying on your face and neck, so thirsty that you drank so much water…
Part of harvesting is gathering the seed from the harvest, drying it out, and saving it for planting next season, because a true gardener is always looking ahead to what is coming. I learned something new recently about saving the seed that I find quite intriguing, and whether you garden or not, I hope you can garner some understanding in the many references to winnowing, separating the chaff from the wheat, and the good seed from the chaff.
My mother used to tell me, “waste not, want not.” I don’t know about you, but I get a little disgusted at having to throw away or compost what was once really good and delicious food! Food that we worked hard to make money to buy or to grow in our garden. Have you ever gotten to the end of the week or the end of batch cooking for the week and wondered what to do with the vegetables that are left over? You don’t want them to go to waste, but you don’t quite know what to do with them either.
