Dear Mishpacha (family),
It was brought to my attention in the Hebrew calendar in the third month of Sivan on the 23rd day that this was quite a historical date for the Jewish people. This particular date corresponded to June 19th in the Gregorian calendar on a Thursday before Shabbat. The date of Sivan 23 can be found in Esther 8:9. This is when King Ahasuerus gave a decree that the Jews could defend themselves and fight back against their enemies. This is what is currently taking place right now in the modern Jewish state of Israel. Israel has defeated Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and now there going after the terror regime of Iran. Like the arms of the octopus these proxies have been cut off and now its time to cut off the head. Even the Houthis in Yemen were considered a proxy for Iran and they have been dealt with as well. On June 22nd 2025, the United States Air Force and Navy attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran as part of the Iran-Israel War. All three nuclear sites in Iran were hit with bombs called bunker busters that go deep into the ground.
This past weekend on June 21st and 22nd we had Ellel Ministries come to minister to us. The theme for that weekend was “Getting To The Root of The Problem” and isn’t that relative for today. These nuclear sites were buried underground just like the bad roots that can be found in ourselves. Good roots provide good fruits and bad roots produce bad fruits. We must pray for ourselves to have good fruit because we are all called to be fruit inspectors. In Matthew 7:20 Yeshua states, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” The Iranian regime has bad fruit that could of killed many people through their desire to have nuclear weapons. The nuclear facilities in Iran were buried underground just like a root system. These nuclear sites in Iran were no secret to the world and to those who gathered information about them.
In Leviticus 18 it literally talks about secret sins or those sins done behind closed doors but no secret is kept from our Heavenly Father. We all need to experience the fullness of salvation, healing, and deliverance personally. In Hebrews 12:1 it says “… let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” On June 20th we began the Season of Summer and this is the time to be intentionally doing spiritual exercises (reading our bible, worshipping and praying). It was in the summer that the twelve spies returned from the promised land and ten of them gave a bad report. It was the bad report that the children of Israel had to wander in the wilderness for forty years and a generation had to die. We are also reminded that Yeshua fulfilled the spring feasts and He will fulfill the fall feasts in the future. In order to celebrate the fall feasts you have to go through a long hot summer and you had be intentional. Both temples were destroyed in the summer on the 9th of Av. I just want everyone to know this is not about doom and gloom but preparing ourselves for the return of Yeshua, the soon coming King.
We have so much to look forward to as a community and I love doing the journey with you. I am expecting some divine appointments with the Lord and I am full of anticipation every day. We are celebrating America’s Independence Day as a community on July 5th and will be having a special meal of hamburgers and hot dogs along with some other delicious food. Make sure to buy your meal tickets at the marketplace.
Danielle and I want to personally thank you and encourage you as you share this vision with us of building a strong community and raising up the next generation.
