Have you ever wondered whether every tear moves the heart of God? 🥲

Not every tear moves the heart of the Creator. Yes, you read that correctly.

Not every tear is pleasing to Yehovah. The Scriptures show that tears born out of unbelief can be just as offensive as words of rebellion.

That is exactly what happened to our ancestors in the wilderness. They wept bitterly, but theirs was not holy sorrow. Their tears did not flow from repentance, but from unbelief. They were not born of humility, but of fear. They were not a cry that sought Yehovah, but the expression of hearts that had stopped trusting His promises.

This is just a brief excerpt from the full teaching, "When Tears Alone Are Not Enough."

Shalom Torah Fans!

He has since passed on, but his memory remains a blessing. He loved prepping for the Shabbat and decided to make a 'dough sculpture' challah bread. Can you guess who this is!!?? 😂 Leave a comment if you like, and share your challah bread and Sabbath table pix! Happy Prepping and Shabbat Shalom, Angie🍞🍷

Leaky Gut, Leaky... Brain?

Your body is protected by a series of incredible barriers designed to keep the right things in and the wrong things out. One of the most important is the intestinal barrier, often referred to as the gut lining. When this barrier becomes damaged, the result is commonly called “leaky gut.”

A healthy gut lining contains tightly connected cells that act like a security system. However, inflammation and other stressors can cause these connections, known as tight junctions, to loosen. When this happens, particles that should remain inside the digestive tract can enter the bloodstream. The immune system may recognize these substances as threats and respond with inflammation, contributing to food sensitivities, immune reactions, and other health concerns.

But the concept of “leaky” barriers extends far beyond the gut. Researchers have explored how similar problems can affect the blood vessels, lungs, kidneys, liver, skin, and even the blood-brain barrier. This broader pattern has been described as a loss of barrier integrity throughout the body.

The brain is especially sensitive to inflammation. When the blood-brain barrier becomes compromised, inflammatory signals may contribute to problems such as brain fog, headaches, and cognitive challenges. Likewise, weakened vascular barriers can affect circulation, while damaged kidney filtration barriers may contribute to declining kidney function.

One of the major themes behind these issues is that the body is interconnected. Nutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation can all influence the body’s ability to repair and maintain healthy barriers.

Supporting these protective systems starts with reducing unnecessary stress on the body. This includes minimizing processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy oils while focusing on nutrient-dense foods. Antioxidants, adequate vitamin D, vitamin C, and other nutrients play important roles in maintaining cellular health and repair mechanisms.

The wisdom found in caring for the body is timeless. Our health is not determined by one isolated system, but by the balance and communication between all parts of us — sounds oddly biblical, doesn't it?

Strengthening the body’s natural defenses begins with addressing the foundations: nutrition, lifestyle, and reducing the sources of chronic stress that weaken our internal barriers.

From the Ambassador Club Family - Chodesh Tov! May your month be filled with His presence. Love, Angie

Welcome to the 5th Biblical month of Av. We have 2 witnesses in Israel!!!! You have to look very close to see the sliver. 🌒 Codesh Tov.

Biblically, the month of Av has been met with many challenges and tragic events. Aaron, the first High Priest of Israel, died. The LORD declared the original generation of Israel rescued from Egypt would die in the wilderness (the golden calf incident brought this on!). Later, both temples were destroyed😞. A few events in Yeshua's life took place during this month. The Chronological Gospels Bible reflects Him harvesting grain on the Sabbath, healing the woman with the issue of blood, prophesying the sign of Jonah... The month of Av was supposed to be a month of celebration and hope, but, because of fear and unbelief, the opposite took place. I believe that soon, our KING is going to restore this month and make it completely what He intended it to be. A month of promise. 💝

Encouraging Word of the Week ✨

A Promise of Redemption

Hebrew: Pidyon

Isaiah 44:23

 Sing, O heavens, for Yahovah shall do it! Shout, O depths of the earth! Break forth into singing, O mountains, forest, and every tree in it! For Yahovah shall redeem Ya‛aqoḇ, and make Himself clear in Yisra’ĕl.

Keep watching!!! The 5th month is upon us!!

So, this is awkward... but NECESSARY

Verse of the Week: Psalm 2:12

“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

Psalm 2 presents Yeshua not merely as a suffering servant, but as the coming King who will rule the nations from Zion. The rulers of the earth may resist His authority, construct their own systems, and imagine that history belongs to them, but Scripture declares that Yeshua will have the final word.

To “kiss the Son” is to submit to Yeshua, honor Him, and recognize His rightful authority. This is not only a warning for kings and political leaders. It is a call to every believer. Our confidence cannot rest in governments, financial institutions, military power, or human strategies. Every earthly kingdom is temporary, but the kingdom of Yeshua will endure forever.

Submission to Yeshua must also be demonstrated through obedience. Yeshua did not come to lead His people away from the instructions of Yehovah. He perfectly walked in Torah and called His disciples to lives of righteousness, faithfulness, mercy, justice, and holiness. Torah observance is not a means of earning salvation. It is the response of a redeemed people who love Yehovah, honor His covenant, and desire to walk as Yeshua walked.

Biblical prophecy should therefore produce faithfulness rather than fear. The world may grow increasingly unstable, but Yeshua is not struggling to gain control. Yehovah has already appointed Him as King. Those who oppose Him will face judgment, while those who take refuge in Him are called blessed. Those who await His kingdom should be preparing now by obeying Yehovah’s commandments, rejecting lawlessness, and remaining faithful to the testimony of Yeshua.

So, this week, examine where your confidence rests and whether your daily life reflects submission to Yeshua. Study the scriptures, obey what Yehovah has revealed, practice justice and mercy, honor His appointed times, and reject the idea that grace gives us permission to disregard His instructions. Remain faithful, live with expectancy, and take refuge in the Son, because His kingdom is coming and His rule will never end.
