No Where to Sit

Two years ago I felt a nudge to endure an experiment for one year. My husband agreed so off we went:

•every Friday will now be spent preparing for Sabbath

•honor the Sabbath (Saturday)

•give up the regular holidays and observe the Feasts of The Most High (as found in lev.23)

•go on a Biblical diet (as found in lev.11)

•worship the Father & Jesus/Yeshua His Son all week as usual

•read scripture daily as usual

On this journey/prompting to walk more like the Messiah, I have some take aways. Shocking take aways that I honestly was not prepared for: the Enemy hates the Sabbath, His Feasts, and loves defilement through physical food and spiritual food.

Never in my life have I experienced what you’d call “jumping to conclusions” so much from others in such a short span of time.

Oh, you want to “honor” the Sabbath?

“Legalist.”

“She is trying to earn her salvation.”

“Fallen from grace.”

“Works based.”

“Bondage.”

Oh, you want to celebrate the Feasts in the Bible?

“She is converting to Judaism.”

“She is trying to be Jewish.”

“Those are only for Jews.”

“Bondage.”

Oh, you want to eat Biblically “clean?”

“Legalist.”

“Have you read mark 7?”

“Peter’s vision means we can eat whatever we want.”

“Bondage.”

It has been real.

Now, I know many at the beginning of this journey could fall under some sort of Torah Terrorist category. Forgive my zeal. May the fire never be quenched! I’m thrilled Father brought us through this wilderness! I will never go back. Although we’ve been rightfully divided from those who reject these things it will never be our doing. But please know:

I honor the Sabbath because I had to ask myself, “Would I ignore or leave out the other 9 commandments?” So why that one?

I want to celebrate the Feasts because I realized EVERYTHING significant about my faith in Christ correlates with those Appointments. Plus, I’m not catholic, so I no longer want to celebrate like one. I want to celebrate the things the Word commands I celebrate!

I trust and fear God enough to give up “food” mainstreamed by the culture. If they packaged up dog and sold it in the supermarket and made it perfectly normal like they do in many countries I still wouldn’t eat it. Only because He says it’s not good for me. The culture can pretty up any meat and decide it’s now a delicacy. I will trust Him when He says, “it’s not food for you.” You can go on a keto diet, paleo diet, sugar free diet, gluten free diet, carnivore diet but go on a Biblical diet and everyone (especially Christians) lose their mind. It has been a baffling experience.

I set out on an “experiment” that turned my life upside down. I have experienced a move of God. I can’t believe the blessings that have come forth and the curses that have fallen away. I can’t believe the intense intimacy that has ensued between the Father and I. I can’t believe how hard Satan has gone after me. Tempting me in ways I haven’t been tempted in IN YEARS. Really working on me overtime. That’s how I knew. I knew Adonai my Elohim was smiling and pleased. Endure daughter. Endure until the end.
