Dear Mishpacha (family),
I am definitely feeling the heat of summer; while I do have my pool motor running each day, I don’t even set my AC’s thermostat below 770F, yet my latest electric bill is for $487.54 and is due on July 12th! It seems we are not just witnessing global warming, but other weather patterns as well throughout the world; heavy snow fall, heavy rains that are bursting dams, mudslides, increased lighting strikes, tornadoes, etc. I believe this is a sign of the last days. Some meteorologists are even predicting an increase in hurricanes this year; hurricane season officially began on June 1st and ends on November 30th.
There were some weather patterns on top of Mount Sinai when God married the children of Israel and gave them the torah. I continue to thank God for His protection from any natural disasters, but I have also experienced the destruction of a hurricane. During one storm we had, a large tree partially fell on our house, and my son Micah barely got out of his bedroom before part of the ceiling fell on him. The Plummer family was officially homeless for a while, but we give thanks to Tom and Linda Pospichal for taking us all in. After that, we stayed with Danielle’s mother Pastor Tikvah until we could move back into our own home after the damages were repaired. It was a natural disaster that took out Job’s sons and daughters, so I am thankful for God’s protection over my family. In Matthew 5:45 Yeshua said, “… and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
Our Feast of Shavuot was a great celebration at Beit Tehila as we celebrated the Torah and the Spirit. We are prophetically still in the Feast of Shavuot and awaiting Yeshua’s return to fulfill the Fall Feasts. There is only one Holy Spirit but many false spirits so keep that in mind. Having the Holy Spirit and being led by the Holy Spirit in these last days can be a matter of life or death.
The latest revelation that The Father has given me, is that I am a priest, and He wants those at Beit Tehila to also be His priests; we can see this in scripture when reading Exodus 19:6; I Peter 2:5, 9. Being a priest does not mean that you have to convert everyone or even debate with anyone. One of the main reasons and purpose for the priesthood is to teach and follow the torah. The priests are to first minister to God, then to others. So many people are running around ministering to others, but not to God. When we minister to God, we get to know His heart and His perfect will, then we can share it with others. In Psalm 110:4 it says, “The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” This reference is about Yeshua, the Son of God, and you can read more about this in Hebrews 5:5-6, 10; 6:20; 7:15-17; 20-22. Yeshua is our High Priest and we would fall under the Melchizedek order of priests. We will be going on this priesthood journey together at Beit Tehila, so stay plugged in.
I would also like to put a plug in for the “Gripped” Ministry with Corey Russell and Billy Humphrey. It is available as a podcast and can even be viewed on YouTube. These guys were associated with the International House of Prayer, located in Kansas City, Missouri. But each now has his own ministry. I know there are many things we can listen to or watch but I personally recommend “Gripped,” because it has literally changed my life.
I would like to announce that in the month of July we will have some special services and guests. Hanoch Young from Israel will be with us on July 13th and 15th. On July 27th for our Shabbat Service, Pastor Chuck Ammons along with his Worship Team from “Overflow Church” will be with us, and I am expecting great things. Its time for unity in the body of Christ and its time to increase the Kingdom of God.
As a church, we are coming out of a challenging season, but I am so excited to go into this new season. Whenever you declare the vision, the enemy declares his position. Facing resistance means we are going in the right direction, so I am committed to going forward and I thank each of you for joining us. Yeshua called His disciples His friends, and He is also a friend to all of us. As your Pastors and Spiritual leaders, Danielle and I thank each and every one of you for your friendship because that is what life is all about. Let’s all do life together.
~Pastor Nick Plummer
