Bishop's Intent
A Message From My Heart
A personal word from Bishop Jaha on the spirit, purpose, and love behind every teaching.
Written in Love, Not Condemnation
Before anything else, I want to speak directly from my heart to everyone reading these words.
I need you to understand the spirit in which I write.
Some of what I've shared in my articles may sound bold, direct, or uncomfortably honest. I know this. And I understand how some might feel as though I am condemning them, judging their faith, or elevating myself above them. That has never been—nor will it ever be—my intention.
I am not trying to claim superior wisdom.
I am not claiming spiritual authority.
I am not saying that I am "better" or that anyone is "not saved."
YAHUAH forbid.
The truth is this:
Everything I write, everything I study, everything I share… comes from a place of love and conviction. I have only ever wanted to point people back to what the Scriptures themselves say—Scriptures that we all claim to believe.
My entire purpose is simple, to show that YAHUAH has always commanded His people to keep His Commandments.
- Yeshua Messiah said it.
- Paul said it.
- John said it.
- The disciples lived it.
So I am simply echoing their voices—not to burden anyone, not to lord anything over anyone, not to place anyone in bondage, but to call people back to the freedom YAHUAH designed for His people.
Obedience Is Not Bondage — It Is Freedom
I want you to hear this clearly:
- I am not telling you that you HAVE to keep the Commandments to "GET SAVED."
- I am not trying to force the LAW OF YAHUAH on you.
- I am not trying to create division or superiority.
Rather:
Keeping the Commandments of YAHUAH is the evidence of salvation—not the requirement for it.
It is the fruit of the Spirit living within us.
It is the byproduct of being born again.
It is the natural result of a heart transformed by faith in Yeshua Messiah.
We do not keep them to become saved.
We keep them because we already belong to Him.
Why I Speak About the Appointed Times
I know frustration rises when I mention that:
- Yeshua Messiah never kept the modern holidays of Christianity…
- The Apostles never kept them either…
- Yet they faithfully observed the Appointed Times of YAHUAH.
I am not saying this to cause anger or attack anyone's upbringing or sincerity.
I am not mocking anyone's tradition.
I am simply pointing out what Scripture already reveals:
The early believers walked in the commandments of YAHUAH because that is what Yeshua Himself walked in.
I speak these things not to condemn, but to awaken, to invite, to remind us that our faith is not built on traditions of men—but on the Word of YAHUAH.
My Love for You Is Real
I speak these truths because I love you—deeply.
- I love you enough to share what may be uncomfortable.
- I love you enough to point you toward Scripture over tradition.
- I love you enough to desire freedom for you—not bondage.
- I love you enough to speak honestly, even if it costs me misunderstanding.
We are not free today because we have submitted to the laws of this world rather than the Law of YAHUAH.
Yeshua Messiah came to set us free from sin—not from obedience.
He came to restore us to covenant.
He came to bring us back into alignment with YAHUAH.
The Kingdom Is Open to Every Nation
I want to make something absolutely clear:
There is no racism with YAHUAH. No favoritism. No ethnic superiority.
Yeshua Messiah shed His blood for:
- every tribe
- every tongue
- every people
- every nation
Anyone who desires to align with YAHUAH…
Anyone who believes in Yeshua Messiah…
Anyone who walks in His commandments…
That person is showing that they are part of the Elect of YAHUAH.
There is no closed door in His Kingdom.
YAHUAH, Elohim of Heaven and Earth,
I come before You with humility and a trembling heart.
You know my thoughts, my intentions, and every word before it leaves my mouth.
Cleanse anything within me that does not reflect Your love and Your truth.
YAHUAH, I ask You to soften the hearts of every reader.
Allow them to hear—not my voice—but Your Word.
Allow them to see—not my interpretations—but Your Wisdom, Understanding, and Insight.
Remove every spirit of offense, misunderstanding, and fear.
Replace it with clarity, peace, and the comfort of Your Spirit.
Teach us all to walk in humility, unity, compassion, and truth.
Teach us to love Your Commandments—not as bondage, but as the freedom You designed for Your children.
YAHUAH, unite Your people from every tribe and nation.
Break down the walls of division created by tradition and misunderstanding.
Restore us to the ancient paths, the righteous ways, and the everlasting New Covenant You established.
Let Your Spirit guide every reader into all truth.
Let Your Word take root, grow, and produce righteous fruit in their lives.
And let everything I have written glorify Your Name and bring honor to Yeshua Messiah.
May YAHUAH bless you and guard you.
May YAHUAH shine His face upon you and show you favor.
May YAHUAH turn His face towards you and give you peace.
May He draw you close.
May He open your understanding.
May He soften your heart to His ways.
May He strengthen your spirit.
May He reveal His truth to you personally.
And may you walk in the fullness of His love, His wisdom, and His commandments.
In the Name above every name—
Yeshua Messiah, our King, our Shepherd, and our soon-coming Redeemer—
Amen.
