Shalom and well-being from Steve Bates, a disciple of Yeshua, for the glory of our Heavenly Father through His grace in Christ. May His Holy Word, through the Spirit of Truth, bring holiness and righteousness to you before Abba, the Living God. (John 4:21–23; 3:1–17)
Abba’s purpose in Christ is to bring many sons to glory, fulfilling the promise made to Abraham: that through His Seed—whom we are by faith—all nations shall be blessed. (Galatians 3:7–8)
The Body of Christ, the temple of the living God, exists to help one another be transformed into the image of His Beloved Son. As kings and priests to His God and Father, we walk in His likeness and serve as a blessing to all creation. (John 20:17; Revelation 1:4–7; Romans 8:14–17)
Hallelu-Yah Fellowship Assembly is not just about a church building—it is a Spirit-led movement of Sons of Glory. Empowered by the limitless Spirit of our Holy Father through Christ Yeshua, we are united in purpose: to lead many out of darkness into the radiant glory of Abba’s Light, revealed in His Anointed Son, the firstborn among many brethren. (Ephesians 3:14–20; 1 Peter 2:9; Romans 8:12–30)
Set apart by the Word, we put off, in Christ, the sinful culture of this present age. By grace, we are reconciled through His death and sanctified by His life. Therefore, in Christ, we walk in humility and godly fear, striving to fully submit to the will of His Father, according to His Living Word at work in us who believe. (Ephesians 4:1–6; John 16:12–13; 17:17–20; Hebrews 5:7–8; Romans 12:1–2; James 4:7–10; Philippians 2:12–16)
Faith without works is dead. Without faith, we will not ask, seek, or knock—and Abba’s power through His Spirit in Christ will remain hidden. But through faith, our works are empowered, and we walk in newness of life, committed to Abba’s will. (James 2:17–22; Luke 11:9–13; Romans 6:1–4, 10–11)
We glorify the Father, by worshiping Him in the Spirit of Truth—His Holy Word. By abiding in Christ, we bear fruit in righteousness and join the harvest as faithful witnesses of the Kingdom. (John 4:13, 21–24; 15:1–8; Luke 10:1–2)
Abba’s Word is eternal. It is Spirit—it is Truth—and it dwells in us through His Christ. (John 3:5–8; 6:63; 17:17–20)
As disciples of Yeshua, we follow Him in faith—like His Apostles—and as joint heirs to the promises of His Father. Empowered by His Sanctifying Spirit, we listen and respond to His Word, the voice of His Mouth—observing His commandments, holy feast days, and dietary instructions as revealed in the Holy Hebrew Scriptures and magnified through His Son.
Walking in holiness and righteousness as God's Beloved walked, doing the will of His Father, we seek to be a blessing to the world. For, Christ was not sent to condemn, but that many might be saved. (Ephesians 3:1–7; John 15:5–16; 7:16–17; 1 John 2:1–6; Romans 8:14–15, 17; 1 John 5:1–5; Isaiah 56:1–7; Romans 10:6–10 / Deuteronomy 30:6, 11–14; Isaiah 59:21; Matthew 7:21–23; Galatians 3:29; Colossians 1:27 — Christ in us)
We are under grace. Through faith in His Son, we are forgiven by His death and sanctified in truth through His Spirit within us. We desire to live as our Master lived—to worship and glorify the Father as the Lamb of God, fulfilling His will. (John 20:17; Revelation 5:1–6)
Hold fast to the promise. Abba will circumcise our hearts so His Word may dwell within us and be upon our lips. This is Christ in us—strengthening us to walk in all His ways by faith, through His Holy Spirit. (Romans 10:6–10 / Deuteronomy 30:6, 11–14; Isaiah 59:21)
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who trusts in Him. (Psalm 34; Isaiah 55)
Yeshua cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink… out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37–39; Joel 2:28–29)
The Spirit of the bride say, “Come!” Let all who thirst take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)
Yeshua, our High Priest, places His God’s name upon our foreheads—a blessing from His Father in Heaven: “May my Father bless you and keep you; May He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Revelation 3:12; 7:3; 14:1–2; Numbers 6:24–27)
Accept your calling, whether with us or without us, for it is for the glory of the Father—our Abba in Christ—who leads us to worship in Spirit and Truth. Wherever Abba’s Spirit is, there is the Church. (John 4:21–24)
We are the Body of Christ. Just as our Master came in the name of His Father, so we do likewise in Him. For Abba’s Holy Spirit has given us power and authority to become sons of glory.
Shalom! May our Heavenly Father bless you with tremendous favor—more than you can ask or imagine—in Christ. Amen.
