I find myself in Nashville at Indie Heaven's CIA Summit. It's being held at The Foundry. The Foundry is part of an inner city ministry to homeless people. They believe that music and the arts are the tools that God will use in these last days to reach people. Scott MacLeod, the founder of the ministry, seems to be a very sincere and nice man. He left the entertainment industry, in which he was pretty successful, to start this ministry. They've taken an old foundry and warehouse section of town and are cleaning it up to use. They are kind of like the Jesus people movement in Chicago. I've just met Scott and hope to get to know him more to learn where they're coming from.
It's like all the other things I've done over the years. Why am I here? That's the question Pastor Ron has suggested that we should always ask. Well I'm asking it. Show me Father why I'm where I am today. I don't want to blow the opportunity for living for YOU in this time.
The more I see the more I understand the absolute need for the professing church to come back to the Truth of Torah. The delusion I believe is because the Torah is rejected by the professing church.
Scott MacLeod referenced Malachi 4:5 this morning in saying that we need Spiritual fathers to cover the youth in the music business today. I agree. But he didn't give the context of the quote from Verse 4 which says "Remember the Law (Torah) of Moses." The real fathers will be training the children in Torah. Deuteronomy 6, speaking of the Torah commandments, says, "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk to them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." The problem then is as it is now. There is a lie that encompasses every expression under the sun that is in opposition to the only Truth of Torah. We've inherited these lies because our fathers have not been obedient to Deuteronomy 6 and the commandment to teach the Torah. But Malachi says that will change in the last days. I believe that's what we're seeing. Notice what Jeremiah says.
Jeremiah 16:
19 O Lord, my strength and my fortress,
My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”
20 Will a man make gods for himself,
Which are not gods?
21 “Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know,
I will cause them to know
My hand and My might;
And they shall know that My name is the Lord.
The context of the Scripture is that the fathers will teach the children the Word of God (YHWH). And it is clear that we see the fruit of the Jeremiah prophecy today. Our fathers have not remembered the Torah of Moses. Remember that Jesus (Yeshua) used the terms "Law of Moses" and "Law of God," interchangeably in Scripture. They're the same!
Malachi 3 also tells us that God never changes. Neither does HIS Word. We are called to return to the Word of our Heavenly Father and then to become fathers, with the same message and intent of our heavenly father, to the young, both in age and spiritual life.
Still seeking and praying.
Praying this Sabbath is blessed and peaceful for you. -Banner

We'll miss you at gathering this evening! Praying that He will use you in whatever way He sees the need for. You may not be with us this evening, but there are more that need to hear it as it sounds like you have already seen while you've been there. Be blessed!
I hope you are able to speak with people and introduce them to Torah. I truly believe that Yah places us in places to do His will. I have a friend who is a teacher and she says that when teaching her kids in class, she starts with what they know and directs them where they need to go.
I pray that Yah uses you in that same manner.
prayer is very important
