From Our Messianic Leader…..

Living Godly in a

Ungodly Nation

What is happening to the U.S.? Our

founding fathers came up with an idea,

framework and agenda heavily influ-

enced by Biblical principles found in

our Bibles. Slowly we have changed

our nation from “one nation under

God” to a group of people who no

longer want Him to be involved in our

nation at all.

Many of us were brought up in Godly

ways. Our nation has become ungodly

in many ways. There are too many

people that are driven by materialism

and power; immorality and rebellion

have become widespread. False doc-

trines and empty philosophy are wide-

ly accepted by our youth and many

unbelievers. All or most of it is a push

to keep our Heavenly Father --- God -

-- out of our nation’s affairs.

The Word of Adonai, The Bible, is a

compass that will keep us headed in

the right direction, even in the middle

of confusing messages. We all need

to be consistently filled with the

truth by the Ruach HaKodesh / Holy

Spirit by reading, believing, meditating

and applying scripture to our every-

day life. 1Thessalonians5:17 NASB

instructs us to; “pray without

ceasing”. If our minds are focused

on Him, unholy thoughts and beliefs

won’t be able to take root.

The Word – Bible – is our guide-

book, book of instructions -- Basic

Instruction Before Leaving Earth.

We’ll still face hardships and difficul-

ties as we live in this imperfect

world, it is a dark and confusing place

that tempts us, BUT will never fulfill

our true longing. Adonai’s truth will

bring us confidence and boldness. His

Ruach will direct, strengthen and en-

able us to live a life of victory!

MINISTRY UPDATES

Davidic Dance Ministry

Beginning dance steps are offered after Oneg on the first and second Sabbaths of the

month at 1:15 for 30 minutes. The Shabbat Medley dance will be taught during this time.

All who learn it can then participate in the Shabbat Medley dance to bring in the Sabbath

Service.

Is. 52:7 "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that announc-

es peace and announces salvation, that says unto Zion: "Your Elohim reigns!" Davidic Dance at Ahava is worshiping Adonai with sacred reverence to Him. Therefore, there must be

order and understanding when we worship through dance. Seasoned worship dancers may join the Da-

vidic Dance circle after speaking to Daniele and Julia, our dance leaders, and demonstrating basic core

steps. Appropriate dance attire is skirts and dresses below the knee, and tops should be covered shoul-

ders, no tank tops or camisoles.... nothing see through. Our focus is to please Elohim and not man. The Hora Dance is for everyone and we encourage all to participate and celebrate in this dance. The

dance for “He Shall Reign” is for everyone as well! Thank you for your understanding and we ask that you pray that Elohim be exalted

through the dance ministry as it is a powerful weapon against the enemy.

Contact the Office at Ahava B’Shem Yeshua (928.443.5988) if you have any questions.

Ahava Children’s Ministry The sign up sheet for March is back in the classroom/nursery area on the wall. We are encouraging par-

ents of those who utilize this ministry to consider volunteering to assist once a month, or every 6

weeks. Teachers and helpers can sign themselves up for dates that work for them. It will cover 2

months at a time. Teachers will be planning their own lessons, and helpers as usual will assist the teach-

er. In the storage room in the back of the sanctuary, there is a curriculum box for books and lessons,

or you can use resources that you have. More teachers are needed. There should be a minimum of

one adult in the back (18 or over) but preferably 2 adults should sign up at a time. Please talk to Dee

Rodriguez if you would like to serve as a teacher for the first time, or if you would be willing to serve as

the new Shabbat School leader.

For those who sign up for Shabbat School, on the Sabbath you are in the classroom, please let

the people serving in the sound booth know and they can make you a copy of the message.

MESSIANIC 101 TITHES & OFFERINGS

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly shall also reap sparely, and whoever sows boun-

tifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one of you give as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or

under compulsion - for God loves a cheerful giver (TLV).

At Ahava B’Shem Yeshua you will notice that the collection plate is not passed around

during our service. In the back of the sanctuary, sits our Tzedakah box. Tzedakah is

Hebrew for charity. We use our Tzedakah box to collect our tithes and offerings. By

keeping the tzedakah box in the back of the sanctuary, this allows privacy when do-

nating to our shul.

Tithing is an important part of our faith. The word tithe means one tenth. It is a way to put into action our faith

in G-d’s provision. Our patriarch, Abram (who would later be known as Abraham) tithed to Melchizedek. Gene-

sis 14:19-20 He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by El Elyon (G-d, G-d Most High) Creator of heaven

and earth, and blessed be El Elyon, who gave over your enemies into your hand” Then Abram gave him a

tenth of everything. Offerings are described in the Torah Portion VaYakhel, when Moses gathered offerings to

build the Tabernacle. Exodus 35:4-5 Moses also said to all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael (the Children of

Israel) , “This is the word which Adonai commanded saying: take from among you an offering for Adonai.

Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring Adonai’s offering: gold, silver and bronze; So much was given by

Bnei-Yisrael that in Exodus 36: 6-7 Moses commanded the people to refrain from bring anything else.

The important thing about giving to G-d whether tithes and / or offerings is the nature of our

hearts. As Paul so eloquently stated in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 for G-d loves a cheerful giver.

The parable of the widow’s mite in Luke 21:1-4 shows this in action. When Yeshua saw a

widow putting two small copper coins into the Tzedakah box, He said “Truly I say to you,

this poor widow has put in more than all the rest.” Yeshua was able to see the nature of

the widow’s heart.

G-d says in Psalms 50:9-14 that the earth, and all that is in it is His. He doesn’t need our

money, what he wants is our hearts. Psalms 50:14 Offer G-d a sacrifice of thank offerings,

then fulfill your vows to Elyon. G-d follows this with Psalm 50:15 Call upon Me in the day

of trouble. When I rescue you, you will honor me. G-d even challenges us to test Him in this matter. In Malachi

3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Then there will be food in My house. Now test Me in this” -

says Adonai-Tzva’ot (the Lord of Hosts) - “If I will not open for you the win-

dows of heaven, and pour out blessing for you, until no one is without

enough. “ That is a pretty strong promise from our Creator and Sustainer!

Tithing is a personal matter between you and Adonai-Tzva’ot. It is simply a

matter of heart, yours and His. Matthew 6:21 states For where your treasure

is, there will your heart be also. May you be blessed as you step out in faith in

this manner of worship with a willing heart.
