Do you know how I learned Yehovaw's truth?

Welcome to the page on which Pastor Floyd talks about

His Background

Hello! I'm Pastor Floyd, the founder and pastor of Faith Harvest Israel; and I really do want you to enjoy the amazing contents of this fellowship's vault; but first, if you will allow me, I would like to tell you how I happened to learn the truth of Yehovaw that it contains!

This is an amazing story; and it will help you to know a little about what we are teaching here to people all over the world and why, although our doctrine is based entirely upon Yehovaw's Holy Bible, it is a view of that bible that you will not see or hear taught anywhere else!

How that can be, I really do not understand! And I have asked Yehovaw, time and again, "Why am I the only one who sees this?" And so far, no answer for that question has been forthcoming!

If you are like I am, you are looking for anything and everything that might improve your life; and I believe that my understanding of God's Holy Bible can transform your life into something unbelievably joyful and fulfilling!

But so also do other people come at you, claiming that they can transform your life into whatever you want it to be; so I will not ask you to believe me or them!

I simply ask that you believe the Spirit of the Lord God Who created the universe and is giving you the breath of life by which to enjoy it, Who is in you, this very moment, speaking to you in His "still small voice", which is so often crowded out by other voices that are in competition with Him, feeding you every falsehood imaginable!

Yehovaw's Spirit will tell you whether or not I am telling you the truth; and, if you are still able to hear Him, you will be pleased with what I tell you; but, if you have learned to hear only the other voices, you will go your way; and I can only pray that some day you will be taught to get back to hearing the right voice; for God's voice guides one into His life, while the other voices guide one into His death!

I was born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in the home of my father, a Methodist minister, and my mother, a teacher of English and Social Studies; and, being a precocious young man, asking questions about the bible that no one seemed able to answer, I left home, at the age of sixteen, with my father's youngest brother, to "find the truth"!

Thirty years later, at the age of forty-six, having left my youngest uncle and the world to which he was devoted far behind, I found "the Truth" - "the Way, the Truth and the Life", in fact; and since then my life has been a wonder of frustrations, agonies and joys with a wife, three sons and a community of friends held together by the merciful hand of the holy, almighty, eternal and self-existent Creator and Lord God over all the universe!

On the seventh day of February, in the year 1975, I came to love, worship and serve Yehovaw, Whom to this day I love, worship and serve; because He is, according to His voice in my heart and the knowledge of Him contained in His Holy Bible, the One Who is, miraculously, keeping the breath of life in my body and the power of His Spirit running the universe I am enjoying each day of my life, with all its wondrous intricacies and beauty!

That is my present reality; but Yehovaw, through His prophets and His Son, Yehoshua (Jesus), has also given me an hope for the future - a knowledge of the eternal nature of my spirit and soul and where He intends to take them, according to how I behave with them here and now, either in accord with the commandments of His toraw (law) or contrary to them and to Him, Whose nature He has expressed through His toraw.

That precious knowledge, which Yehovaw originally locked into my heart as an infant through the communication of His Holy Spirit and then confirmed by Him through His Holy Bible, is the sum total of all I have learned in thirty-five years of study into that bible; and I am convinced that one's obtaining His eternal life is that simple!

For within ten years of starting my walk with Yehovaw I had learned, from the words of His book of books, that He made all His promises subject to whether or not "thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His commandments"! (Deuteronomy 28:1) If one does so "hearken", then "all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee" (Verse 2), according to Yehovaw's words through Moses; and, when He said "all", He meant all!

Two chapters later, in that awesome Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of His Holy Bible, Yehovaw made it clear that His blessings mean life! He said, through Moses:

I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live, that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, that thou mayest obey His voice and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life and the length of thy days! (Deuteronomy 30:19)

Two chapters later, Yehovaw said, through Moses:

46Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law! 47For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life! (Deuteronomy 32:46 and 47)

It is small wonder, then, that, when Yehovaw the Father sent Yehoshua or Yehovaw "the Word" (John 1:1) as His Son (Luke 1:35) and "express image" (Hebrews 1:3) into the world, to become "the Son of man" (Mark 2:10) and teach them an higher understanding of Yehovaw's toraw or law, He said, through Yehoshua:

I am the way, the truth and the life! (John 14:6)

If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments! (Matthew 19:17)

Some people try to say that the "life" of which Yehovaw spoke through Moses merely referred to one's physical life on Earth! But the question that Yehoshua was answering went like this:

What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (Matthew 19:16)

So, contrary to so much muddled thinking about the bible, Yehoshua did not come to offer "eternal life" for the first time but to clear up His children's misunderstanding about Yehovaw's requirement to obtain it, which He had made through Moses fifteen hundred years before! In fact, Yehoshua said:

46Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me! For he wrote of Me! 47But, if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words? (John 5:46 and 47)

Moreover, as the final commandment that Yehovaw was to give through Yehoshua, before bringing Him home, to sit at His right side, He said, to His disciples:

19Go ... and teach all nations ... 20 ... to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19 and 20)

But, once left on their own, Yehoshua's disciples in Jerusalem could not wait to do their own thing and wrote a letter to "the brethren who are of the Gentiles" (Acts 15:23), who were those to whom "all nations" referred (Strong: Greek: 1484):

We have heard, that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment! (Acts 15:24)

So, with Yehovaw's having given that commandment through Yehoshua (Matthew 28:19 and 20), the disciples-become-apostles in Jerusalem thought they had a better idea; and for the Gentiles they pulled the rug of the life of Yehovaw's toraw (Deuteronomy 32:47) out from under all that the Gentiles might try to do in His service from that day on!

That misdirection by the apostles in Jerusalem led directly to the lawless "Great Whore" of the Book of Revelation (17:1), a woman having always represented throughout Yehovaw's Holy Bible His people or "church"!

The Book of Revelation is the great vision that Yehovaw gave His church through Yehoshua through His faithful apostle John! And John wrote, of the Great Whore:

In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who were slain upon the Earth! (Revelation 18:24)

That all inclusive charge has to include all who have been slain by the terrorists of today, who commit their atrocities in the name of a false god! And so on and on go the repercussions of Yehovaw's children's refusing out of the hardness of their hearts to love Him and to honor Him by keeping or putting the highest possible value on the commandments of His toraw or law! Yehoshua said:

The Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. (John 8:29)

Having deprived the Gentiles of the life of Yehovaw's toraw, the apostles in Jerusalem and, particularly, the apostle Paul had to offer substitute ways of one's obtaining eternal life, which no one can obtain without ha Kodesh Ruakh, Yehovaw's Holy Spirit! For only He has the power to give one that life (John 3:5); and the apostle Peter said:

Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins! And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost! (Acts 2:38)

By that commandment of a man one is supposed to believe that to be dunked in a pool will give him or her the Spirit by Whom to be given Yehovaw's eternal life; but Yehoshua had given Yehovaw's requirement for one's receiving the supernatural manifestations of ha Kodesh Ruakh:

15If ye love Me, keep My commandments! 16And I will pray the Father; and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever - 17even the Spirit of truth! (John 14:15 to 17)

The apostle Paul's formula for salvation went like this:

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved! (Romans 10:9 and 10)

Instead of one's keeping the commandments of Yehovaw's toraw, which Yehoshua had said would enable one to "enter into life" (Matthew 19:17), the apostle Paul offered mere lip service and belief in the mere fact that Yehoshua's resurrection took place as one's key to eternal life, while Yehovaw had said, through Yehoshua:

18This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me. 19In vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men! (Matthew 15:18 and 19)

Yehovaw characterized, through Yehoshua, through His faithful apostle John, the Great Whore as being "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS" (Revelation 17:5), which meant that she spawned many lesser churches, which like her were "harlots" for their lawless service to Satan rather than lawfully serving Yehovaw by keeping the toraw or law He instituted as the everlasting reflection of His eternal nature! Yehovaw said, through Yeshuaw:

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled (Matthew 5:18)

Virtually everywhere one goes in the world one finds churches that teach and follow "the apostolic doctrines" of the New Testament rather than Yehovaw's toraw through Moses and His reverence for it through Yehoshua, Who did exactly what He said He would do: Yehovaw wrote, through His prophet:

The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will magnify the law and make it honourable! (Isaiah 42:21)

Other churches may be found who keep Yehovaw's toraw; but, believing that every verse in Yehovaw's Holy Bible is His inspired word, they straddle the fence and try to embrace both the apostolic doctrines and His toraw, some limiting their keeping of it only to its Ten Commandments, when the exact language Yehovaw used through Moses always stressed His requirement that "we observe to do all these commandments". (Deuteronomy 6:25)

So, needless to say, as I came to accept Yehovaw's words through Moses and Yehoshua to be the "life" He said it is, while finding the apostolic doctrines contradicting and detracting from that life, I became lonelier by the year, unable to find anyone anywhere who was teaching His Holy Bible as I believed reflected the true concerns of His magnificent heart!

Amen! Alleluia!
