A Word from Sid Roth
proposal.pngFor those who feel something is lacking in your Christian experience as compared to the first church—you’re right! The early church had greater miracles, greater anointing and greater intimacy with God.
Why don’t we see more power today? One problem is our understanding of the Scriptures. For example, all the books of the New Covenant were written in a Jewish culture and virtually all the authors were Jewish.
In many cases the fullest meaning of a passage of the New Covenant is only apparent in its cultural context. These deeper meanings were obvious to the first church.
To make matters more complicated, what we call Jewish culture today is not the same as in the time of Yeshua. Judaism has been hijacked and transformed over the centuries by rabbis who do not believe in Jesus.
Understanding the Jewish context of the Scriptures is a key stepping stone for us to become what Paul calls, the glorious church.
We know that the latter house (church and individual believer) will have even greater glory than the former.
My heart’s desire is to be surrounded with God’s glory twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. I am desperate for greater intimacy with Him. Rebecca Totilo’s book, His Majesty Requests, unfolds the hidden Jewish culture of Yeshua’s day to understand His Majesty’s instructions and experience His glory.
Yeshua is passionately in love with His Bride. This book is the John-the-Baptist preparation for the greatest Jewish Wedding in history—The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Get ready. You have an engraved invitation. Don’t miss the directions and go to the wrong address.

royalwedd.pngThe Invitation
proposal.pngHis Majesty, the King of the Universe, requests the honor of your presence
at the Royal Wedding of the Ages (Rev. 19:7)
between Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus), His only begotten Son,
and His Bride, the called-out ones.
You are cordially invited to partake at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
by being cleansed in His blood (Heb. 9:14),
which He shed for your salvation (Heb. 2:14).
By pledging your heart (Rom. 10:9–10)
to His plans and purposes for your life, He promises to lead (Rom. 8:14)
and guide you in the ways of truth (John 16:13),
Provide for all your needs, physically and spiritually (Matt. 6:32–34), Shower you with gifts (1 Cor. 12:1–10; Romans 12:6–8)
by His Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit),
with whom He will fill you (Joel 2:28–29; Eph. 5:18), and
Wash you in the water of His Word (Eph. 5:25–26)
so that you may be used (2 Tim. 3:16)
to tell others about this glorious feast.
As a token of His love for you,
you will be given a ring to seal you as His own (Eph.1:13)
as He rejoices over you, His bride (Isa. 62:5),
and clothes you in the wedding garments
of salvation and righteousness (Isa. 61:10).
