River City Revival

We have talked about Ishtar or Ashtoreth who is mentioned in the Bible. Until Right NOW I didn't know her origins or how her worship started. But O WOW we are all going to know now...together and you will see Abba Yah's Words come to Life in a Brighter Light.

Ishtar- Wife of Semjaza or Shemchazay

30 Days of Judaic Myth- Matthew Kressle.net

The angels landed upon Mount Hermon, where they could see to the far ends of the earth. Each chose the woman that most attracted them, and the women, flattered that these angels took interest in them, were eager brides. The angels were wise in the art of building and agriculture and healing, and taught these arts to humankind. They taught people how to kindle and maintain fire, how to read and write, to draw, to work clay, and many other valuable skills. Soon the earth thrived with bustling trade from all their creations, and people moved from one end of the earth to the other.

Of all the angels’ brides, the most beautiful was Ishtar, the wife of Shemchazay. Shemchazay watched her constantly, never letting her beauty slip from his gaze. He built her a house to match her incomparable visage. Daily, he brought her gifts to decorate the house, hoping to please her. But forever his wife remained forlorn and aloof from him. Never once did they engage in sexual relations.

Enoch Chapter 6, VI whole chapter

1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'

3. And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 7. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaq1el, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. 8. These are their chiefs of tens.

This sermon is going to educate you on the Spark of Life and How Yahusha was born via Abba Yah without Him committing sin towards Mary.

What is the Spark of Life?-Northwestern.edu-2016

All of biology starts at the time of fertilization, yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human. This discovery required a unique partnership between biologists and chemists and non-federal dollars to support the research,” she said.

The study was published April 26 in Scientific Reports.

As the zinc is released from the egg, it binds to small molecule probes, which emit light in fluorescence microscopy experiments. Thus the rapid zinc release can be followed as a flash of light that appears as a spark.

“These fluorescence microscopy studies establish that the zinc spark occurs in human egg biology, and that can be observed outside of the cell,” said Tom O’Halloran, a co-senior author. O’Halloran is the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor in Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and director of Northwestern’s Chemistry of Life Processes Institute.

Eggs compartmentalize and distribute zinc to control the development of a healthy embryo.

Why is Zinc Important?-aptaclub.co.uk

Zinc, a mineral found in many foods, plays an essential role in the construction of your baby's cells and DNA during pregnancy. It's needed for cell division and tissue growth, supporting normal development as your baby grows

When can you hear the babies heart beat?-healthline

Your doctor will monitor your baby's heartbeat at each prenatal appointment. You may be able to hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time as early as 6 weeks.

Definition of conception- Merriam Webster

1a(1) : the process of becoming pregnant involving fertilization or implantation or both (2) : embryo, fetus

b : beginning "Joy had the like conception in our eyes … "— William Shakespeare

Who is Angel Lailah?

Bim Bam- Angel Lailah

“Before You Were Born retells the Jewish myth of Lailah, the angel of conception. According to this midrash, there is an angel, Lailah, who brings the soul and the seed together and then sees to it that the seed is planted in the womb. In doing so, Lailah serves as a midwife of souls. While the infant grows in the womb, Lailah places a lighted candle at the head of the unborn infant, so he or she can see from one end of the world to the other.

So too does the angel teach the unborn child the entire Torah, as well as the history of his or her soul. Then, when the time comes for the child to be born, the angel extinguishes the light in the womb and brings forth the child into the world. And the instant the child emerges, the angel lightly strikes its finger to the child’s lip, as if to say “Shh,” and this causes the child to forget everything learned in the womb. Still, the story implies, that knowledge is present, merely forgotten, much like the Jungian concept of the collective unconscious.”

Do you remember in our sermon about collective amnesia? Carl Jung called it the collective unconscious...which is the same exact thing.

Ephesians 1:3-6

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

These sermons will first introduce angels and whether fallen or not (as Enoch only gives a few names,) we will then identify deities in other countries who are associated with the same role. Remember, the names have been changed over time to keep us All from coming together and uniting under 1 creator.

There are no coincidences in life. Nothing happens by chance. Yes we get lucky once in awhile or blessed by our Creator as I know our angels who are sent by Abba Yah guides and protects us at His Will. That is their job. So doesn't it make since that over time one becomes fond of those who were created to guide us in life? The fondness easily turns into idolatry and that is where we all fall into sin.

To understand these sermons we need understand we all stem from a Hebrew Back Ground

This sermon is going to explain that Race is Not What keeps us separated, culture differences are. We are 1 Race and that is mankind, unless you can show me another race of humans, we need to eliminate the word race and really look at what divides us.

When we don't understand someone who is different than us, we tend to classify this as racism.

Race is defined as:

A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society. The term was first used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations. By the 17th century the term began to refer to physical traits

Race is a social construct and to read more about race please visit the sermon on:

You can also listen to this sermon in season 1 episode 15 of River City Revival. https://www.thelionstares.com/post/reality-society-what-is-culture-norms-mores-folkways

This is another sermon on how Important words really are. We are going to learn in this sermon that Abba Yah didn't Forsake Yahusha when He died/was killed upon the tree.

What you must understand is this: Abba Yah's Word cannot Contradict Himself. Meaning His Word is Bond. Using discernment we will learn exactly what Matthew 27:46 Means. Again Enoch, Jubilees, Yasher, Maccabees and other books are keys for that have been taken away from you by the Unholy Roman Catholic Church until recently when people have began to Seek out Truth.

Enoch 71:14-17

14. And he (i.e. the angel) came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me ' This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness, And righteousness abides over him, And the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.' 15. And he said unto me: ' He proclaims unto thee peace in the name of the world to come; For from hence has proceeded peace since the creation of the world, And so shall it be unto thee for ever and for ever and ever.

16. And all shall walk in his ways since righteousness never forsaketh him: With him will be their dwelling-places, and with him their heritage, And they shall not be separated from him for ever and ever and ever.

17. And so there shall be length of days with that Son of Man, And the righteous shall have peace and an upright way In the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.'

In parts 1-2 we learned what doubt means, we studied those who doubted in the Bible. This part is going to discuss how to overcome doubt.

Asaph for those who don't know who he is: Asaph was a prominent Levite singer and seer in David’s court and was the son of Berachiah of the tribe of Levi. (1Chr 6:39, 1Chr 15:17, 1Chr 15:19; 1Chr 16:4-7; 2Chr 29:30). He is the ancestor of the Sons of Asaph, one of the great family guilds of temple musicians.

In Psalm 77 Asaph has doubts about the Faithfulness of Abba Yah. We will be learning some definitions from this verse that is very important for our understanding of doubt

https://www.thelionstares.com/post/attitudes-of-yah-encountering-doubt-a-cynthia-heald-study-part-3

"A doubting temper, fond of dwelling on difficulties and objections, is fatal to the unity of mild, heart and will. Doubts, if they assail you, are neither to be timidly shrunk from nor idly played with, but honestly faced and fought. But the grand secret of conviction is to dwell first and constantly on the Positive Evidence of truth.

If that is adequate, unanswerable, then a 1000 questions we cannot At Present Answer need not trouble us. They can Wait: but facts will not wait. Here is a great secret, not only of strength, but of rest. And in Rest is a Reservoir of Energy."~ E.R. Conder and W. Clarkson (both Reverends)

What the reverends said is true, we must look at the Positive Evidence of Truth. When I was doubting myself, Yah reminded me why I really moved to St. Louis in the first place. I was given a vision of my home I would move into in several dreams, I even signed the lease before I actually saw the home. I had a job aligned before I moved and I had the ministry on-line, just not on the podcast or in video format. Yah Reminded me I moved here to Establish His Ministry and He Will provided Everything I need, just like he did when I moved.

However, this light bulb moment didn't happen until After I began working the doubt out of me.

This sermon is going to discuss doubters in the Bible, and how our Creator helped them or how they themselves overcame doubt.

Psychology Defines Self Doubt As- iresearchnet.com

Self-doubt has been defined as uncertainty about one’s abilities, potential for success, or competence in performance situations. As self-doubt concerning personal abilities increases, global self-esteem tends to decrease because self-doubt presents the threat to global evaluations of oneself. Hence, self-doubt can lead to both self-handicapping (i.e., creating or claiming obstacles that reduce the probability of success while at the same time providing an excuse for failure) and overachievement (i.e., striving to perform beyond one’s capabilities) in order to protect the self from the implications of failure. As such, self-doubt is often studied in the context of performance.

Self-doubt includes thoughts and feelings such as wondering whether or not one has the ability to succeed at important activities, having thoughts that focus on the bad things that might occur, feeling unsure of one’s abilities more often than not, and experiencing greater emotional impact as a result of avoiding failure than achieving success. Among university students, self-doubt is negatively related to variables such as achievement motivation, self-esteem, and narcissism and positively related to variables such as self-handicapping, social anxiety, and “impostor” feelings in which success is perceived as undeserved

People of all skin tones use human hair in weaves, extensions and wigs. Living in St.Louis with a beauty supply on every corner got me wondering where all this human authentic hair comes from. When we oppress others in the name of anything, in this case beauty, we are no better than those who kill and destroy. People say the want equality, inclusion, civil liberty, but how can you continue to use products like real human hair knowing there was a horrific price paid in order to get that hair? You Cannot Remain a hypocrite and claim to love The Lord God Almighty/Abba Yah.

Hypocrisy is defined as-the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

This hair you buy is sacrificed to other gods. Purchasing this hair is you paying tribute and bowing down to the gods in which the sacrifice/scalping was done and you are serving them by purchasing the hair.

Isaiah 3:16-24

16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

21 The rings, and nose jewels,

22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

Real Indian Temple Hair -indianhair.net

The temple town Tirupathi, in South India is the largest pilgrimage spot where thousands of devotees practice tonsure daily. The concept of the Hindus who practice this is that they are paying tribute to the God Lord Balaji for the blessings he may have bestowed upon them. It is their way of showing their gratitude. This practice is also symbolic of sacrifice of material beauty and false-ego by one.

Indianhair.net is the largest direct supplier of human hair in US. All our products laboratory certified for quality.

Gangs Targeting Women for Hair- truthdig.com

In 2013, police in the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo hunted a gang of thieves who were targeting woman for their long hair. The “piranha gang” hacked women’s hair right off their heads. Sometimes they had guns.In 2006, The Guardian reported that in India, men were forcing their wives and children to sell their hair and hair brokers were holding children down and cutting off their hair.

Last year in East Jerusalem, I spoke with a Palestinian woman who told me she had had her hair “stolen” by a gang of young men when she was 8 years old. She assumed that her hair had gone to make wigs for Haredi (an orthodox Jewish sect) women, a highly profitable business in parts of the Middle East.
