This Shabbat, Hilary focused on: • Spiritual intransigence (stubbornness, inflexibility) is a primary barrier to entering God's rest and kingdom unity • Gospel of the Kingdom vs. Gospel of Salvation: The full message is not just individual salvation ("light switch on") but establishing God's Kingdom reign on earth — "May your kingdom come" directed downward, not escape upward • Solomon asked for a "hearing heart" (Lev Shomaya), not wisdom — the foundation for godly governance and kingdom representation. As ambassadors we are to represent His Kingdom today. • Acts 1: Yeshua confirmed the kingdom will be restored to Israel; the Father determines the timing • Psalm 51 / Sabbath theme: Brokenness, contrition, and praise are pathways to renewal; gratitude literally rewires neural pathways. • Create in us a clean heart Lord.

The Shabbat watch centered on worship, covenant, peace, and spiritual protection. Entering into Sabbath, rest with a strong focus on Psalms, Zechariah, Jeremiah, Romans, Hebrews, and John 17, focusing on restoration righteousness, truth, and peace. Hilary emphasized the forgiveness that Jesus, offers, receiving and walking it out with heart felt gratitude.
