By Hadasah The following question was given to us by a Pastor. I felt it might be one on many believers’ minds. Following are responses to address it. The question is, “How do we today make practical application “to the Jew first?” What does “to the Jew first” look like? Why should we care about “to the Jew first”? “To the Jew first” [...]

The Power of the Blood Years ago, the Blood was central to all we prayed. Pleading the Blood was a way of life. I am not sure how that understanding moved from the forefront of our focus. I found as I researched, many authors pointed back to the great revivals and the importance of the Blood. Billye Brim's book, "The Blood and the Glory", [...]
Valerie van den Bergh - Did He have a favourite festival? Passover, Shavu'ot, Succot - appointments with the LORD God of Israel. Yeshua smiled as He remembered celebrations of the past, the far distant past. His memories rested on Succot, the Festival of Booths. It was this season His people were now celebrating. Zman simchatenu – the season of our rejoicing, the Rabbis called [...]
Valerie van den Bergh – Hanukkah The battle was raging. Sword struck shield. Sword struck sword. My band of warriors and I were tired and did not know how long we could hold on. I, Judah Maccabee, must be strong, and encourage my comrades to continue the fight. We were so close to defeating the evil Antiochus. I and my brothers - John, Eleazar, [...]
Valerie van den Bergh – The Passover LambThe Passover Lamb by Valerie van den Bergh LeShanah Tovah! Happy New Year! No, we at One in Messiah Ministries have not lost our minds. [Well, I can't speak for the others, but I know I'm completely sane. :-) ] According to the LORD's calendar, we are now in the first month of the year. It is [...]
Valerie van den Bergh – Yamim Noraim (The Days of Awe) And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham," and he replied, "Here I am." And He said, "Please take your son, your only one, whom you love – Isaac – and go to the land of Moriah; bring him up there as an offering upon one [...]
What To Do About The Hunters? In the previous two articles we tackled the questions: “Why the hunters”, “What do the hunters look like” and “Where are they?” This month we’ll examine what needs to be done now that we know the “why, who and where.” Before we get to the “what” and the “how” I’d like to address a few foundational issues that [...]
“Worship God in the splendor (beauty) of His holiness, tremble before Him all the earth”. Psalm 96:6 (NIV) Worship is not a new concept to the body of believers. All creation was fashioned and designed to worship the One who is greater than the believer and worthy of their praise and adoration. Our heavenly Father has always desired to have an intimate relationship with [...]
By Lynne Plunkett One of Judaism’s many wonderful features is that it has a blessing for just about everything. No matter how mundane the task, God’s presence and sovereignty is acknowledged – Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha olam... (fill in the blank). Which brings me to my carrots. You see, I do not know if there is a blessing for carrots. If [...]
By Deborah Galiley Last week, I was looking through the shelves in my local library’s 6x6 cubicle of a bookstore, when a certain volume caught my eye. It was a book entitled The Perfect Summer, by Juliet Nicolson, which is a historical re-telling of England in the summer of 1911, just before World War I swept in like a flood. “This looks timely,” [...]
My dear friend Devorah has gone on to be the Lord. However I thank God for giving me this wonderful friend full of wisdom and talent if only for a short season. It is my joy to share a note she sent to me years ago on her revelation of Shavu’ot.Shavu’ot and the Holy Spiritby DevorahTurning to Acts 2, we see the mishpocha gathered [...]
By Lauri Wong It's such a delight when God gives us pictures of what He is doing in our lives. Several years ago, God led a Jewish gentleman from our business to give me 5 crepe myrtle bushes. There was a patch in my garden where I had planted a few "Jacob's Ladder" hybrid tea roses. They had failed to flourish and died, [...]
(God is in the Details) by Lynne Plunkett As a new believer, I used to think you only prayed to God for the “big stuff”, but you didn’t bother Him with the minutiae of day-to-day life. He was, after all, Creator of the Universe, and could not possibly be interested in, say, whether I had a flat tire, or it rained during a [...]
I grew up in a conservative Jewish home on Long Island. In the mid 1980s, after graduating from college, I moved to Los Angeles. I started attending a Baptist church with a boyfriend and got saved two months later! A trip to a Billy Graham crusade in Anaheim, California two weeks after that set me on course to reading scripture and being grounded in [...]

By Ellen Jaffe To begin, I must share some of my own story so that you can understand the “mirky waters” that had to be navigated myself in order to have clarity about Jewish Evangelism. Growing up in an Orthodox Jewish Ghetto in NY, one does not easily embrace new ideas about Judaism. That being said, there is an increasing curiosity and hunger amongst [...]
Many of you, like myself, have had the pleasure (she says with a snicker) of sharing Yeshua with “brick walls” (code for family) ha.After many years of rejection, I can tell you that every once in awhile there is one precious soul who has been prepared to receive the good news with joy!In the past 6 months, I have been steadily building a relationship [...]
by Ellen JaffeSomething exciting happens when New Covenant Saints embrace Shabbat. In this article I will introduce you to Galina.Some years ago I was visiting a small Messianic ministry and met a very vivacious Russian woman and her daughter. At that time they were living with a Church family. Galina had a great desire to discover her Jewish roots. In Russia, she was unable [...]
By Ellen Jaffe Growing up in NY with extended family, Shabbat represented a time that everything stopped! Of course we had to work feverishly to prepare for it beginning Wednesday and then begin the cycle again every week. Wednesday, you would begin to clean the house, on Thursday you would shop so that all the food was fresh and ready to be prepared on [...]

Each year as the Appointed Times of God approach I go through the scriptures to see what God may highlight to me. On our web site www.oimm.org you will find two previous articles I have written. “Reflections on Yom Teruah” and “Day of the Awakening Blast”. Each one highlights different aspects of the first of the Fall Feast biblically known as “The Day [...]
It was the first of Cheshvan 5772 Rosh Chodesh. Oct 29, 2011 on the Gregorian Calendar. A small group of us had gathered at 9:30 am to honor Rosh Chodesh. For those of you unfamiliar with the term Rosh Chodesh; it is an appointed time on God's calendar at the beginning of each of the Hebraic months. It is in fact a very important [...]
Rosh Chodesh is fast becoming my most precious time to look forward to each month. God continues to minister truth and strength as we meet at His appointed time. The Red Hen is a strange title don’t you think? Yes, but wait till you see what the Lord is saying. Our Church went on a 21 day fast to deal with unbelief. The first [...]
Esther 4: [14] “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?” The Erve of Purim is Saturday sundown March 15, 2014. We all know the story of Esther the orphan [...]
There is much teaching today throughout the body on First Fruits and most is taught in conjunction with our giving to the Lord. However I want to share my thoughts about why God instituted first fruits from the perspective that everything He laid out in His word and especially in His Feasts was to point us to the revelation of His heart His ways [...]
In this Jot I am trusting Holy Spirit to give insight to read between the lines of the first few paragraphs. This ministry is not positioned to be a political voice. However I am called to speak spiritual awareness of the times we are living. Therefore, I have chosen my words very carefully. Recently I had the privilege of being a guest at a [...]
The purpose of this web site is to teach, impart and network … We started out to simply teach Hebraic or Biblical roots to the body of Christ and net work our readers with those who share a similar understanding. However, in my journey of discovery as founder of One in Messiah Ministries I have learned that being the One New Man is [...]
