HOLY

Be ye holy for I am holy.  Leviticus 11:44,45

43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. 44 For I am YHWH your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 45 For I am YHWH that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

1 Peter 1:16 referenced Leviticus  11 when he wrote this:

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Y'shua HaMashiach; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently

Leviticus 11 is speaking about unclean foods - the foods we should not eat.  In the middle of that we are told to be HOLY, to remember that the Father brought us out of Egypt.

What we eat is important.  Very important.  Much emphasis is put on it throughout the Scripture.

Revelation 3 is Messiah speaking to the churches wanting to sup with us.  He is knocking at the door of the believers hearts!  

He is saying that the church thinks they are alive, but they are actually dead.  They are not keeping Abba's ways.

This is just like a dream HE gave me in the late 90's.  I saw large beautiful healthy looking bass.  But, they were dead- laying in mounds on the bottom of the shallow river bed!  The top one was a wonderful pastor I knew.

They were full of YHWH's Word, but they weren't applying it, so they were dead.  The shepherds have led the sheep astray.  They have forsaken the pasture of the Great Shepherd and are eating of their own accord, after their own lusts.

Messiah was in a dream of mine as a child.  I saw HIM standing in the heavens outlined in gold radiance at a rounded top door stretching HIS hand out to me.  I in my excitement wanted to tell my parents. I searched for them in a place of trailors. Suddenly my sister and I were looking up in the sky from the garage in our pjs on 'cartoon morning'-Shabbat morning! My mom came outside and brought us in.

That dream was to let me know Messiah was going to reveal HIMSELF to me as to the TRUTH of the Father's Ways!  That the time would come for me to share and know.

Messiah is standing at the door.  He wants to sup with us. He wants to share the Father's Holy Feasts with us!  He wants us to LOVE one another fervently through all of this. 

THIS IS WHAT REVELATION 3 IS ABOUT!  HE IS CALLING US TO BE HOLY- TO EAT ABBA'S FEASTS WITH HIM FOR IN SO DOING WE ARE BEING WATCHFUL AS TO ABBA'S TIMES AND SEASONS!!!

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.  3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.  7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.  12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.  13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.  20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  1 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.  22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
