On the New Moon, I usually start the day by lighting some candles, burning some frankincense and myrrh, while listening to what the Spirit of God has to teach me as I read my Bible.
At some point, I will put on messianic music to listen to as I make, bake and then eat some fresh Challah, enjoyed with a little wine-a small “communion” between Jesus and me-as I remember His tremendous sacrifice, and ask Him to consider meeting with me and my family in a special way on His special day.
For my offering, I sometimes go to a place where I know there are people who are barely getting by, and try to bless them with a big bag of food, money, a Bible, my written testimony, and the gospel-all of which I prepared a couple of days in advance.
At the end of the day, as the sun sets, I usually have a sincere talk with Jesus about the things that are heavy on my heart (which often ends in tears), thanking Him for everything He’s blessed us with. Then I blow my shofar loud and long, listening to it echo before fading away.
One thing the Lord showed me about the New Moon celebration, is that it’s a picture of us.
The moon is just a reflector of the sun towards the earth; and we, too, are to reflect the Son-the Light of the world-TO the world.
The truth of the picture, is that we are not always “full moons” (fully and perfectly reflecting Jesus 100% of the time).
Sadly, sometimes we have some pretty dark days, where it seems we don’t reflect the Son well at all (New Moon…or, No moon).
But most of the time, we are somewhere in between. Some days our reflection is somewhat small and dim; other days it is much bolder and brighter!
The cool thing is: God knew we would be like this, right from Creation. In fact, he designed it into the skies, so that we would be encouraged when we have dark days, that brighter days are ahead.
However, we cannot become proud when we reflect Jesus brightly, because struggles and battles with sin always come around again to keep us humble, repenting, and desperately pursuing the Light again.
The cycle of the waxing and waning moon, reflecting a never-changing sun, is a compassionately designed picture of our life of faith, reflecting a tender-hearted, understanding, never-changing God. 😌
Thank you so much for being so clear, precise and making this video! I'm celebrating one thing that Jesus celebrated at a time this year (started with Sukkot) and it's such a blessing to be learning from different people each time. Praying over you, your family and today's Rosh Chodesh!
Love the updated title! Don't think it was necessary but, I understand some people were fussy about the original.
This is definitely not the direction I thought you were going, when I read the title. I thought it was going to be an "Every day is Yah's day and we should celebrate it" type of video. I'm so glad it wasn't. While that would have been very encouraging, I got so much more out of this! Thank you so much for sharing!
😂 I was worried the title might be too provocative…. 😂 But it IS a true title! I mean every word of it. Haha And I’m glad your first assumption wasn’t that I was going to compromise in some way! 🙌 😅 Thanks so much for watching, my friend!! 😃
@@WomenLivingTorah I think I followed you long enough to know that you weren't suddenly backsliding. That being said, a TH-cam vlogger who actually helped us come to an understanding of Torah recently did just that so I can certainly see where that could be some people's assumption, if they didn't have a better understanding of you and your personality and your love for The Almighty. I wouldn't worry so much though about what other people think your title might mean. Being a little clickbaity helps to draw people in, which is absolutely how you help to expose them to His Word! What they do with it, well that's on them. All you can do is plant a seed and encourage people back to Scripture which I think you do beautifully in every video!
Our family hasn't been keeping Erev Shabbat for a few months now, due to stress and outside situations. This has been a beautiful reminder and encouragement that I have two days to get things prepared so that we can get back on track and celebrate Shabbat as it is intended! After all, Shabbat starts the night before, not just home worship on Saturday! 😉
His timing is perfect with this, though... my husband is a federal employee and not always home on Friday and/or Saturday because he works 48 hour shifts and he'll be home both days this week! So glad the Father used you in this way! 💕
I’m so sorry to hear about the YT vlogger… 😞 But I’m grateful this video blessed you!! I was pretty confident that my subscribers would at least hear me out before unsubscribing or something. Haha 😛
Have a wonderful Erev Shabbat, Shabbat, and Rosh Chodesh! 😅 It’s going to be a great weekend!
"I'm a frozen chosen." That's a good one.
Haha 😂
Yes, I loved that!!! 🥶👼🏼
We’ve been paying more attention to the new moon but haven’t really started “celebrating” it.
This!! You are correct sister, it is rarely talked about but it's a monthly celebration! Praise Yah that he wants to be with us so much! Thank you for sharing!
Yes!!! I once heard someone speaking on marriage say, ‘To keep the relationship special and alive, celebrate everything!’ Seems that’s what YHVH is doing. Haha
@@WomenLivingTorah we know our relationship with him is to mirror a marriage! Makes a lot of sense 😊
Raquel, we bought a telescope for 24.99 at Big Lots. It's the Vivitar brand. It will do the job for now praise Yah!! Again, I'm so excited!🙂. I will be using your siddur! Its gonna be so special every month to be focused and intentional on His head of the month! Another party like on Shabbat!
Awesome!!! Thank you for the telescope suggestion!!! 😃 And yes!! YHVH loves to party! Haha In Numbers 28:2, it tells us these offerings on the moedim are His ‘food.’ Obviously, God doesn’t ‘need’ anything from us, as the Self Sustaining One, but I just think, ‘if I don’t like to skip meals, and I’m made in His image, I’m sure He doesn’t like to skip them either.’ But it turns out that when we give Him the praise and honor that He desires and deserves, He blesses US in return, too! He’s SUCH a good Father!!! 🙌
@@WomenLivingTorah Yes!!!
Sister, you have me so much comfort today! I am excited!!!
Wonderful! Praise YHVH! 😁
Thank you for sharing. I'm still learning a lot of this stuff so very helpful.
You’re welcome! And praise YHVH for your heart of faith and obedience to follow Him & His ways! 🤗 We start out having so much to learn, but our walk gets better and better, more exciting, more rich, more powerful with time!! 💕
This is our first time celebrating but we sure will be celebrating! At first I felt ashamed for not ‘knowing’ this. But as good as YHWH is He has forgiven me my ‘not knowing’ and is taking me on this new journey! I am SO thankfull for you sharing, the title just got me like, wait what? Haha 😅 Your whole channel has been such a blessing, we have been celebrating everything this year (except for this haha) thanks to your videos and for YHWH providing your channel! Have been doing a lot of research this afternoon, such a blessing! Thank you Raquel, keep up the amazing content!
Awesome, Emmely!! Yes!! The Father is so good to lead us further and further in Him!! Praise Him!! 🤗 Have a wonderful Rosh Chodesh!
Thank you so much! I wish you and your family the same!!
❤❤❤😊🎉
Love it sister!
Thank you, friend! Also- thank you for your emails! I have intended to write back, but I know that I always write so much that I need a chunk of time to respond. 😂 Anyhow, I WILL get back with you! 🤗
@@WomenLivingTorah aww thank you sister, please no hurry. I felt bad for asking more questions. You really helped me. Yah bless you and keep you. Talk soon then. I look forward to it. Big hugs from the other side of the world! ❤️
I have in the past light the havadala candle and read Psalms 113-118. Sing a song. Nothing to grand. I need to get back into it. Thank you!
Awesome!! Yes!! Let’s celebrate!
@@WomenLivingTorah Yes indeed God is good all the time!
I am so relieved at this content. I was worried when I saw your tag line.
Thank you so much for this 😀
Following Yeshua all the way over here!! That hasn’t changed! Haha 😃
@@WomenLivingTorah me too! ❤
I am asking advice. I recently started working again in a customer service job. So I am many times a day wished Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. This is a problem for me because I do not want to give a negative reaction. But I do not want to say, "You too." Normally my interaction window is just seconds. The other day there was an opportunity of a little more time. I said, "I do not celebrate because that is not His birthday, I am still a believer, but I just read the whole Bible and follow only what it says". I think that seemed ok, he took it well. But this made me realize I need to be better prepared to give a 5 second answer. What do you say in these circumstances? When speaking with random strangers? Do you think a response of God bless you is ok? (Even my own extended family is confused by Yah and Yeshua.)
I usually just smile real big and say, ‘Thank you! Have a wonderful day!’
If you’re not comfortable with the ‘thank you,’ (I am saying ‘thank you’ to their kindness toward me, but some may feel like it’s condoning their holiday), then you could just leave off the ‘thank you.’
Or, I think, ‘God bless you! Stay warm and safe out there!’ Or something congenial like that is totally acceptable and warm and doesn’t make them feel slighted or uncomfortable. 😊 Just my thoughts!
@@WomenLivingTorah very nice thoughts. Thank you, I will try them out. Maybe, thank you and God bless you.
I appreciate your content.
I think that would work just fine! Shalom!! 🤗
Perfect video for me I am totally addicted to those kind of videos thumbs up!!! use a service such as P R O M O S M!!!
A lil deceptive title but I get ur drift. 🌑🌒 🎺 🎺
Well, I didn’t intend for it to be deceptive because it IS true about celebrating on December 25 this year… but, I did intend for it to create intrigue and make people wonder what I was talking about since I obviously don’t celebrate Christmas. 😬
Yes the sun the stars the moon. @mikalshabbatscripturalstud3104
Shows how our calendar is in the heavens! Not man made as 99% of folks follow! It's absolutely amazing! HALLELUYAH!
Thanks for watching! 😃 I love looking to the heavens!! A telescope is HIGH on my ‘desires’ list!!
@@WomenLivingTorah yes! We happen to have two not sure how that happened but we are getting unto it more and more! It's so amazing!
That’s awesome!! Praise YHVH for His provision and blessing in your life!! 😁 🙌
@@WomenLivingTorah yes! As I remember it wasn't very expensive at all. Maybe 30. I had it on my watch list so I knew when it went on sale. I will look into a much nicer one later.... Maybe when my girls are a little bit older.
Is it one you can recommend and can share the brand?
Yeah, I’ve really been waiting for us to be a bit more settled and the kids to be a little older. I would hate to purchase a really nice telescope that gets broken! 😬
