*** James I wanted to share something and I thought this would be a good place to put it... in it I share a personal email exchange. That does not quite follow the format of the YY letters... so if you feel it needs to be moved or removed, I'm fine with whatever.***Sorry... this is a little long.
Just wanted to share something here. I'm pretty excited because I am actually learning about Yahowah and coming to understand His plan to where I understand it and can share it confidently.
Just a few short years ago when I first read some of YY, I was like, "what???". Slowly but surely I began to study in earnest both Scripture and different sections of YY as well as developing some friendships with others who are learning His Truths.
Recently it's like the light turned on and it just makes sense. His plan is really simple when you think about it. I understand that I could spend lifetimes studying and learning the depth of His Word but I know and understand the essential basics of who He is and what His plan is and He is Awesome!
I had this, "I got it" moment earlier today when I was able to reply to an email from a friend that I am sharing Yahowah with. What was exciting to me was that I didn't have to look at any notes or anything and I was able to just type up my reply. It may seem that I am just parroting Yada but that is not really the case. Yada has pretty much just exposed a vain of truth as in a gold mine and that truth has just resonated and found a home in my being.
Anyway the following is a copy of the email I received from my friend and my reply...

>Hey Bill,
I did find a .pdf version... it's at
http://www.poweronhigh.c...roduction%20to%20God.pdfThis is an older version of the draft and has only 729 pages. lol
The one I sent you has over a 1000.
If that link does not work for some reason... I did a google search for...
"An Introduction to God".pdf and it was the second link shown.
His title is more accurately Ma'saeYah which means "doing the work of Yah"
in Hebrew. His name in Hebrew is Yahowsha meaning "Yahowah Saves". Yahowah
(YHWH) is the name of the Father edited out and replaced with LORD some 7000
times in Scripture.
What I am learning and walking in now is fresh and alive. It is truly a
relationship and far from any religious practice. I am not in some kind of
bondage where I am trying to "do" all His commandments and "keep the law".
He is more interested in us observing, guarding and valuing His instructions
and guidance, which is what "Shamar Towrah" means... errantly translated
"keep the law".
I fully understand that I can not earn and or do any work(s) for my
salvation. It is a gift and He has done all the work. Though, We are called
to respond and that does require that we do something. That being, learn the
truth about Him and choose to accept His terms and conditions of His Family
Relationship Agreement, His Covenant and then learn about, understand and
walk on the only path He provided. That path is understanding and walking
in His Feasts, His Called-Out Assembly meetings. The first being
"Passover"... He is the Door to the Path. Without the work He did there by
becoming our sacrificial Lamb we would be lost. He then paid the penalty for
our sin and redeemed us removing our sin from His sight on the "Feast of
Unleavened Bread". He was the "First Fruit" (another of His Feasts) where
now we also are born anew spiritually into His Family. Seven weeks later...
the "Feast of Sevens" or "Pentecost" where He empowers us with His Set-Apart
Spirit, leading us to "The Feast of Trumpets" where we boldly shout out and
declare His Awesomeness! This leads to the "Feast of Reconciliations" where
we are covered by His Garment of Light allowing us to stand in His presence.
Ultimately leading to us camping out and living with Him in His Kingdom
represented by "The Feast of Tabernacles".
I did not copy and paste the above. I just now wrote that from what I am
learning and it is exciting!
We can come to know Him where we can fully trust and rely on Him. This is
what I am doing and this is what I am excited about. The mind blowing thing
about it is, I know now, by doing this, He promises to know me and remember
me in His Kingdom where I will be born a spiritual being with my soul (who I
am) as a member of His Family. Wow!
HalleluYah!
