“For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Mashiah, for it is the power of Elohim of deliverance to everyone who believes,to the Yahudi first and also to Yawanite.” Romans/Romiyim 1:16.
HalleluYAH for our brethren who are literally going the extra mile to reach out to our brothers and sisters on the road in various situations of coming and going, and fulfilling the great commission of Ha’Mashiah in Mark/Marqos 16:15:
“Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News to every creature.”
In this age where people are always in a hurry or on the go, one can still find an opportunity to “reach within and reach without,” whether driving a vehicle of public transportation, commuting on a bus to work, walking on the street (“street preaching”) or doing special missions trips to reach brethren in remote areas who have no means, or very limited means of affording Biblical resources. We can be assured in faith that these journeys are not just means to an end, but that they are full of qodesh anointings and appointments
“having fitted [our] feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace” (Ephesians/Eph’siyim 6:15)
Soon another way to preach the Good News in season and out of season will be with the soon-to-be-released HalleluYAH Scriptures Bumper Stickers. Any brother or sister who wants to proclaim the Name of the Father and the Son can simply stick these stickers on their vehicle- halleluYAH!!!
Since the stock of hardcopy bibles is very limited compared to the huge needs all over the world, we have been prudent and prayerful in giving out these hardcopy bibles, by giving priority to Messianic brethren or newbies in faith with no means of affording who are truly ready for the “meat of the word,” to ensure that we are not throwing these pearls to swine who might trample such a treasure underfoot; for “solid food is for the mature whose sense have been trained by practice to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews/Ibrim 5:14).
One brother in the Philippines, who drives a tricycle for a living, has been actively sharing YHWH’s Truth to his fellow tricycle drivers and even to the nearby street vendors. Those who have an open heart prepared by the Ruach ha’Qodesh to embrace the truth have been most grateful to receive the HalleluYAH Scriptures as if holding something even more precious than gold, which is true indeed! “More desirable than gold, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb” (Psalm/Tehillim 19:10).
This brother driving a tricycle said:
“Shavua tob! Praise ALMIGHTY YHWH! Here are pictures of my co-tricycle drivers who have been baruk to have the HalleluYAH Scriptures”
Another cab-driver in USA shared this touching story how she shared YHWH’s Word to passengers whom she was led to give a copy to:
“Hi. I am a cab driver and everytime the Ruach has me minister, pray or lead someone to Yahusha I like to give them a copy of the HALLELUYAH scriptures….. I love and feel proud to give away HALLELUYAH Scriptures! I love our Father, Saviour and Ruach and thank you for all that you all do!
After greeting my passenger, I silently pray for them using a Qodesh prayer, given to me by the Ruach Himself. Every word of the prayer is based on Yahusha’s parable of the sower. Then I hand the entire rest of the visit over to the Ruach Himself, and I am always amazed and astonished as the passenger opens up a conversation that then very naturally and easily progresses to a most fruitful end! Most of the times the passenger has had a personal awakening and experience of our Redeemer but has fallen away to the cares of the world, a victim of our enemy. The Stealer. In those cases I share my own testimony of how He came back to find and seek me, his lost sheep, and then the conversation is just taken over by the Ruach; the passenger leaves encouraged, or visibly emotionally moved in different ways. I take no credit or responsibility for what transpires, nor can I, for I myself am always thrilled and astonished at what transpires. Many times though, the poor soul has never even heard of the Word, our truest of guides, and then very miraculously, I am led to speak about it or lead them to it by my own personal testimony. I am shocked at how so few words can be spoken in so short a timeframe with such living results! In any case, every copy of Scriptures that I have given out was and is ALWAYS most thankfully accepted and I am positive that it was His will. The cards and bookmarks, I do sometimes tuck in the pages of the Word, so as not to waste them or their originally inspired intent….”
It is so touching how generous the heart of this sister cab driver in USA is as she would allot some of her tithes to donate and prayerfully reach out to people on the road whom she has been led to do so! She truly is a living embodiment of the admonishment: “Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not of grief or of necessity, for Elohim loves a joyous giver” 2 Corinthians/Qorin’tiyim 9:7.
On the other hand, for the general public and those whom we may not have had time or open the door by which to initiate into the “inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, having been kept in the shamayim for you” (2 Peter/Kepha 1:4), we have introductory items like Cards of Hope and Bookmarks that will introduce and proclaim the Name of the Father and the Son.
With a Scripture verse and beautiful imagery on one side and some information about the qodesh Names and the mission of HalleluYah Scriptures on the back, anyone can receive “the whole through a tiny part” as it were, by receiving a “word of salvation” and a point of contact for people to contact us for further materials.
One brother in the Philippines who owned taxis gladly shared how YHWH used this taxi as a venue not just to deliver passengers to their intended destination, but more importantly to deliver “His Message” as well. Indeed, even if the person we meet is successful in arriving at his earthly destination with all he needs and prepared for his next steps, we know that if they do not have the Word of YHWH dwelling in them richly then they are truly lost:
“Because you say, ‘Rich I am, and I am made rich, and need none at all,’ and do not know that you are wretched, and pitiable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” (Revelation/Hazon 3:17).
Thus we have a great commission to take up daily in caring for the souls as well as the material needs of everyone we encounter, for what does it profit if we gain the whole world but suffer the loss of their immortal souls?
This driver would share Cards of Hope and Bookmarks, while playing praise songs and Audio Bible inside the taxi. There were also little posters of “Ten Commandments” and “Beatitudes” hanging at the back of the front seats. In the Philippines where traffic is a daily-life reality, sharing YHWH’s Word through these avenues provides encouragement, comfort and inspiration to seeking, journeying travelers to seek first our Creator and His glorious kingdom.
Often, YHWH’s ways are not our ways, and His time can differ from ours. One sister in United States who loves distributing the cards either as “Drop cards,” in various places where people may find them, or else as a tangible word when she is imparting the message of ha’Mashiach to a stranger, finds that opportunities for sharing these cards often come unexpectedly, even when handing out the cards may have slipped from her mind and she is busy with the cares of the world.
Praise the Father, Elohim, who guides us through His Ruach in an instant to speak within us, so that it is not we who are speaking, and brings all that His Word has spoken to our minds! One day she was able to minister to a brother who was on probation from jail who was eager to receive a card with a “rhema word,” a word for NOW, a word of SALVATION, and proud to have his picture taken, unashamed of the gospel of Ha’Mashiach!
As they met and spoke on the train he revealed that he had been hoping to find a Hebrew Bible. All praise and honor to the one who is able to do far more than we ask or imagine in giving us the desires of our hearts. With the card, the sister was able to tell this brother how to contact HalleluYah Scriptures for his own copy so that he could continue walking on the narrow way that leads to salvation.
It is amazing to see how many people have had the light of the YHWH’s Word imparted to them, but whose mind the enemy is attempting to blind and deliver up to strong delusion because of the one who rules this world.
The Cards of Hope truly attest to our one and blessed hope in the midst of encompassing darkness – the testimony of things unseen rather than all the things in the tempter’s world that are passing away.
Even though these things are unseen, we still need to be able to glance from time to time at the physical words and images that bear witness of this realm so that we are not carried away by the false idols constantly set up in the world around us.
“We give thanks to Elohim always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers” (1 Thessalonians/Tas’loniqim 1:2). We are truly giving thanks for a group of family believers and kin friends in the Philippines who have done a special missions trip to one of the remote places in Davao to fulfill the precept:
“Let me teach transgressors Your Ways, So that sinners turn back to You.” (Psalm/Tehillim 51:13).
This was truly a labor of love as it took them at least a total of 8-hours travel by van! They had to leave home earlier before the sun rose to be able to make the most of the day. Aside from ministry work (counselling/healing the sick brother being visited), the elder who was part of the trip was able to distribute copies to grateful brethren as you can see from the pictures. One brother from another town came over so he could receive copies to impart to his brethren in Digos.
The need is truly great and growing as El Shaddai promised us that the harvest would be great. One quote expresses how the network of believers works together with YHWH to supply all the needs of the brethren
I Hope you are doing well and that the Fasting and Prayers for the day are going well. I would like to check in with you if am able to order a larger shipment from you as the need is very great here.
I was thinking of maybe briefing you on why the need is so great. I met a man last year who is a street preacher and a big proclaimer of the truth. He is also doing a lot of work so I am giving him copies of the scripture for his ministry as well.
The street preacher when I had met him did not know about the true Names and the Shabbat. I have been ministering to him and he has since embraced the truth and has changed his banner to have the true Names on them as well. He is really blessed.
“Because the eyes of YHWH are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers, but the face of YHWH is against those who do evil.”
1 Peter/Kĕpha 1 3:12
As most of you know, we support a number of orphans and widows with the help of the team and a small number of supporters. These are believing orphans and widows and poor children from believing families.
Please pray for them. This brother we call Banner Elder has passed away suddenly over a week ago and we are heartbroken and very shocked as we have worked closely with him for a long period of time now. We still have quite a few pictures we have not shared of his work and will be sharing them over a period of time. Please take the time if you have not, to watch the video on the front page at the top of the website.
Banner Elders sons have expressed they would like to take over from their fathers work and we are working with them now and encouraging them. We support another orphanage run by a believing group nearby so they are going to support them and help them until they are comfortable.
A team member donated some funds for shoes and clothes for the orphans and widows. Banner Elder would not take a pair for himself as he felt it was not right when so many were so poor, yet he himself had no shoes all his life and was so very poor but never complained.
All Banner Elder wanted to do all his life was do the work of YHWH as it was his life’s dream to do this work and he was granted much favor by the Father. We are truly so very sad in losing him.
He will truly be missed by this team and many others who supported him and his work and thousands in India are heartbroken.
A heartfelt thank you to all the HalleluYah Scriptures supporters who pray, fast and donate so that those who are without may receive freely. May Father YHWH and His Son show you much favor always for helping the poor.
Thank you
The HalleluYah Scriptures Team
