How To Follow YAHUAH

Foundational Discipleship

The purpose of this page is to provide guidance on how to follow YAHUAH by focusing on the Core Salvational Points.

“My little children, I write this to you, so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Intercessor with the Father, YAHUsha Mashiyha (Messiah), a righteous One. And He Himself is an atoning offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world. And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His Commandments. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Aluah has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.”

1 Yahuhanan (sn-John) 2:1-6

As we were told to walk as He (Yahusha ha Mashiyha) walked, we believe that is important to know how He walked, and to recognize the main steps He took in life when He walked on earth. We’ve identified “4 Core Salvational Points” in the Scriptures, and here we will explain them to you.

1st Salvational Point: THE NAME

The most important and first thing to do when you find YAHUAH and the truth, is to Repent and be Immersed (sn- baptized) into His NAME… The Name of YAHUAH. We all have been deceived, but we need to be humble enough to accept that we were lied to and misled. The most important thing is that we decide to receive the truth, make a change, and live our lives based on YAHUAH’s way.

It is important to know that when you receive and call on His Name, you are also deciding to depart from all other Alahiym (sn- Gods). This means you will need to remove certain words from your vocabulary. This is especially true when it comes to the names of pagan words or pagan deities.

Here are some key Scriptures that solidify the importance of calling on the Name of YAHUAH:

Ma’ashiym (sn-Acts) 2:21  “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of YAHUAH shall be saved.”

Ramaiym (sn- Rom) 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the Name of YAHUAH shall be saved.”

Yuhal (sn- Joel) 2:32 “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of YAHUAH shall be delivered.”

Ma’ashiym (sn-Acts) 2:36-41  “Therefore let all the house of Yishral know for certain that Aluah has made this YAHUsha, whom you impaled, both Master and Mashiyha (Messiah).” 37 And having heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kapa and the rest of the emissaries, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?” 38  And Kapa said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of YAHUsha Mashiyha Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-Apart Spirit. 39  “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as YAHUAH our Aluah shall call.” 40  And with many other words he earnestly witnessed and urged them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.” 41  Then those, indeed, who gladly received his word, were immersed. And on that day about three thousand beings were added to them.” 

Ma’ashiym (sn-Acts) 10:43  “To this One all the prophets bear witness, that through His Name, everyone believing in Him does receive forgiveness of sins.” 

Ma’ashiym (sn-Acts) 4:12  “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.” 

*Note that YAHUsha literally means YAHUAH SAVES.

2nd Salvational Point: GUARD HIS COMMANDMENTS

First Commandment (1): “I am YAHUAH your Aluah, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. You are to have no other mighty ones against My face.”

YAHUAH our Creator is Jealous when it comes to the attention of any other mighty one other than Himself. He is very clear that we do not need to have any other mighty ones. So once you accept Him, you should not mention or pray to any other deity. Here are some examples of the right words to use:

• Instead of “God” use the only and true Name YAHUAH or use Creator or Father (when talking in general).

• Instead of “Jesus” use the one and only true Name of the Savior which is Yahusha or use Savior or Messiah (when talking in general).

• Instead of Angels use the word Messengers

Remember the verse in Shamut (sn- Ex) 23:13 “And in all that I have said to you take heed. And make no mention of the name of other mighty ones, let it not be heard from your mouth.”

Second Commandment (2): “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is on the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YAHUAH your Aluah am a jealous Al, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My Commandments.”

By reading all the Commandments, we can tell by the length of them which ones YAHUAH is very serious about. The Second and Fourth Commandments are very extensive. That’s why we need to make sure we clean our homes, cars, offices, language, etc of any type of idols like statues, crosses, pictures, stickers of cruxes, virgins, angels, saints, fish, or any representative of any pagan deity, because YAHUAH told us do NOT do it. He considers this as an act of hate against Him and will have the children of third and fourth generations pay for it.

1 Yahuhanan sn- Jn 5:21 says: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Also see Dabariym (sn- Deut) 5:8, 1 Qarantiym (sn-Corinth) 10: 7, 14.

Third Commandment (3): “You do not bring the Name of YAHUAH your Aluah to naught, for YAHUAH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.”

Forgetting YAHUAH’s Name altogether and replacing His Name with other pagan names has to be considered bringing His name to naught (nothing), wouldn’t you agree? If you said “Yes” then you are exactly right. That’s what the traditions and pagan cultures from past generations has done, by hiding His Name and tricking us into using pagan names and words, which is exactly what Satan wants us to do. YAHUAH wants His children to know His Name, because there is power in His Name. He was clear about the fact that He will punished those who bring His Name to naught. So, our mission and now yours, is to spread His Name .

See Hazun (sn-Rev) 12:9 “And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”

We can no longer allow ourselves to be deceived when we now have the truth. Be proud of His Name and spread it.

Fourth Commandment (4): “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. Six days you shall labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YAHUAH your Aluah. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHUAH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore YAHUAH blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.”

As we said above the Second and Fourth Commandments are longer and in more detail, and this one (Fourth Commandment) is also a SIGN between Our Father YAHUAH and His people. In Shamut (sn-Ex) 31:13 YAHUAH says to Mashah (sn-Moses):  “And you, speak to the children of Yishral, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YAHUAH, am setting you apart.

Also in Yihazaqal (sn- Eze) 20:12 YAHUAH says: “And I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, to know that I am YAHUAH who sets them apart."

Here on our website we explain about how to follow the real Shabat (sn- Sabbath) and explain the real Calendar of YAHUAH. Click Here to read about YAHUAH’s real Calendar.

Once you decide you will follow YAHUAH’s Shabats (sn- Sabbaths), here is a good guide on things you need to know before observing Shabats and how to keep Shabats from here on out:

Preparation Day (day before the Shabat)
The day before the weekly Shabat (sn- Sabbath) is called the Preparation Day. On this day you prepare yourself and your family to properly observe the Shabat. Remember, on the Shabat, we are to do no work, so Preparation Day gives us an opportunity to prepare food for the following day, do important payments, do important work, do important errands, etc. If you have family or friends visiting you, make sure you explain to them about the fact that you observe the Shabat as YAHUAH has commanded us to do. Part of the Fourth Commandment states there is no work for your stranger who is within your gates. It is also best not to leave your home, so you don’t end up having to do work or causing others to do work (ex. your car breaks down, etc).

To do’s on Shabats (suggestions):
Stay Home
Rest/Sleep
Warm food already prepared
Read Scripture/Study YAHUAH’s word (Read the PromoteTheTruth.com website)
Watch Videos about YAHUAH (Great videos at YouTube.com/PromoteTheTruth)
Spread His Name
Learn the 10 Commandments and evaluate if you and your family are guarding them
Teach your kids and others about YAHUAH’s ways
Watch a Movie
Play Board Games
Play Music

Not to do’s on Shabbats:
No Leaving Home (gates)
No Cooking from raw
No Work
No Business/Personal type of transactions (Sale, Buy, or Payments)
No Cleaning
No Exercising
No School
No Travel
No Servant Work (No maids, grounds keepers, etc working for you)
No Employees Working

There will be times when an emergency comes up and Our Creator knows about those times (Example: Ox in the ditch. See Luqah (sn- Lk) 14:1-6.). However, do not do things to create “an ox in the ditch.” YAHUAH knows our hearts and everything we do. He expects obedience.

3rd Salvational Point: KEEP FEAST DAYS

If we all understand what the word forever means, then we know that we need to keep the Feast Celebrations, even in current times, in order to obey YAHUAH.

Some of the questions about the Annual Feasts occur when it comes to the “sacrificial” portions of the instructions found in Uiyqra (sn-Lev) 23. The sacrificial portions of these instructions were fulfilled by our Savior Yahusha ha Mashiyha. Yahusha ha Mashiyha took away the sacrifices that we were supposed to do on the Feast Days. However, the celebration, recognition, observance, and obedience to these Feasts are still alive and will remain FOREVER. Click Here to see all of the Annual Feasts explanation.

What to do on each Feast (suggestions):

Pas’ha (Passover): It’s like the weekly Shabat (sn-Sabbath), but you can cook. So, prepare a special dinner with your family and get together with other followers of YAHUAH, eat unleavened bread (Idea: Yehuda Matzos crackers can be found on Amazon… these are unleavened), grape wine or juice. For the dinner, preferably prepare some good lamb if you eat meat. Celebrate Yahusha ha Mashiyha’s sacrifice! This is one of two Feasts that is celebrated different than the other Feasts and Shabbats. This Feast starts at evening (late afternoon 3pm-4pm) of the day before (14th day) Matsah and goes to the next dusk (no light) on Matsah (15th day). So, this particular Shabat Feast is observed evening to dusk.

Matsah (The Feast of Unleavened Bread): This Feast starts on a Shabat (sn-Sabbath) and ends in the next seven days. The first day and last day are no work days (but you can cook on these days, because they are Festival Shabats), but the middle days are work days. YAHUAH asks that we bring an offering made by fire each day, including the 7th Day Shabat, so do your best to cook with fire (bbq, etc). Seven days of unleavened bread (no eating anything with yeast). Maybe do some gatherings with other followers of YAHUAH, and celebrate that our sins (yeast) were washed away!

Bakuriym (The Feast of First Fruits): Remembering that Yahusha ha Mashiyha became the first to resurrect from the dead, and that we have the hope of resurrecting with Him when He returns. This is an allowable work day, but you should celebrate the coming transformation for some of us (here when he returns), and the coming resurrection of others who passed away in YAHUAH!

Shabua’ut (The Feast of Weeks): It’s like a weekly Shabat (sn-Sabbath), but you can cook. Prepare a special dinner with your family and get together with other followers of YAHUAH. Celebrate that YAHUAH poured out the Set-Apart Spirit on us (YAHUAH Ruah)!

We can focus on one Commandment each day for 10 days to measure and examine ourselves by. You can start from the 10th Commandment on the day of Yum Taruah (Feast of Trumpets) and work your way down to the First Commandment, one Commandment each day. With this progression you will be end up with the First Commandment on Yum Kapar (The Day of Atonement), where you are reminded that YAHUAH is your One and Only Aluah. Also, on Yum Taruah (Feast of Trumpets) we are to have a set-apart convocation (gathering) for the followers who worship YAHUAH to come together. Celebrate that Yahusha ha Mashiyha is going to return!

Yum Kapar (The Day of Atonement): This beautiful Feast gives us the opportunity to clean ourselves from sin and repent from anything wrong we have done in the past year after we analyzed ourselves during the past 10 days from the Yum Taruah (Feast of Trumpets) to Yum Kapar (Day of Atonement). Yum Kapar (Day of Atonement) is to ask and receive forgiveness from YAHUAH for any shortcomings of sin we’ve had the past year. This is the other Feast that is celebrated different than the other Feasts and Shabbats. This Feast starts at the dusk (no light) of the night before (9th Day) the Day of Atonement and goes to the next dusk (no light) on the Day of Atonement (10th Day). So, this particular Shabat Feast is observed dusk to dusk. This gives us a really focused opportunity to remember YAHUAH’s love for us in that He sacrificed His one and only Son as an ATONEMENT for OUR SINS. This is the greatest sacrifice of all time. Celebrate YAHUAH’s Gift of Atonement!

*It is probably best to detach yourself from Television, Social Media, etc during this 24 hours. YAHUAH’s tells us to “afflict” our being during this time. Many have mistakenly taken this for “fasting” during this time. However, this word in Scripture “afflict” comes from the Hebrew word “Anah” (Strong’s H6031). The Hebrew word “Anah” comes up 84 times in Scripture and every time means “humble your soul” (not fast). So, take DEEP, and SOULFUL reflection of your soul during the 24 hour observance of “The Day of Atonement.”

*See Uiyqra (sn- Lev) 16:30-31 30 “For on that day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you, to be clean from all your sins before YAHUAH. 31 “It is a Sabbath of rest for you, and you shall afflict your beings – a law forever.”

This Feast starts on a weekly Shabat (sn-Sabbath) and goes for 7 days. Make sure you are at your camping place (or the like) the day before Shabat if you are going to a place. The first day is a Shabat (7th Day Shabat) no work day, but the rest of the celebration days you can work. On the eighth day it is a final Shabat (7th Day Shabat) that closes out the Feast of Yum Sakut. YAHUAH asks that we bring an offering made by fire each day, including the 7th Day Shabat, so do your best to cook with fire (bbq, etc). Use this week to have fun. It is a gathering with other followers of YAHUAH where you can do excursions, hike, fishing, swimming, play with kids, play instruments at night, have a camp fire, and do sing-a-longs… and don’t forget the marshmallows. And speaking of kids, this the perfect week to engage kids in the Feasts of YAHUAH to help them separate themselves from pagan holidays. You can give gifts between each other and make a special dinner every day, or you can have a party every day for 7 days. Many of us give our children a gift each day of the Feast. Which kid would not love that? They will be waiting every year for this Feast. Remember, this is a CELEBRATION!

This Feast also prepares our minds for YAHUAH’s return where He will dwell among us and live with us forever. Celebrate that we get to live with YAHUAH Forever!

New Moon Days: This is a type of Shabat. No working (job or business you own). No buying or selling. Make sure you do not do any financial transactions. (For example, putting gas in your car, buying food, internet purchases, etc). You can cook and go out and about in nature. Also, this is a great day for family time. Approximately every 30 days a new month starts, and it is the New Moon Day that represents the beginning of that new month. We will be celebrating New Moon Day forever (See Yishayahu sn-Isa 66:23). Learn YAHUAH’S Real Calendar here.

After you’ve now seen and read about all the Feasts and Shabats of YAHUAH, it is notably blatant to see that Satan has attempted to replace the Feast Days of YAHUAH, which are Set-Apart Days (sn - holy days), with pagan “holidays” such as Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays, and more. All of these pagan days are designed to take attention and worship away from YAHUAH and His Appointed Times (see Barashiyt sn-Gen 1:14).

We must resist the ways of Satan and this world, and turn away from such practices, which are considered “idolatry” to YAHUAH.

Ya’aqab (sn- James) 4:7  So then, subject yourselves to Aluah. Resist the devil and he shall flee from you.

4th Salvational Point: DIETARY LAWS

We know this is a serious issue, and one that involves salvation, because YAHUAH gives us a strong warning in Yishayahu (sn- Isa) 66:16-17 that He will destroy every person eating animals such as pigs, mice, etc.

Here are some basics of what meat to eat and not to eat:

To Eat:
Fish (with Scales and Fins)
Beef
Poultry (Chicken, Turkey, Duck, Quail, Pheasant, Dove)
Lamb
Buffalo/Bison
Venison (Deer, Elk, Antelope)

Not To Eat:
Pork
Shellfish (Crab, Lobster, Scallops, Clams, Oysters, Shrimp, Octopus)
Fish without Scales and Fins (ie. Catfish, Swordfish, Shark, Eel)
Turtle
Alligator
Snake
Predators (Lion, Vultures, Bear, Crows, Hawks, Eagles)
Squirrel
Rabbit
Horse
Camel

Make sure you read the ingredients from every food or medicine you purchase. A lot of times there are things such as lard (pig), pork gelatin capsules, shellfish, or other kinds of those type of ingredients that we are not supposed to eat.

And of course, we can eat as many non-lethal Fruits and Vegetables as we want!

We hope these 4 Salvational Points that we’ve covered have helped you in your walk with YAHUAH. The above are some of the key insights that we’ve discovered that we believe can help many. Those that love YAHUAH will have the desire to please Him. We encourage you to guard the ways of YAHUAH with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. He will guide you on your way.

Praise YAHUAH!
