Since July 1, 2005, the Healing Room at The House of Living Water has ministered to men and women for healing of body, soul and spirit. Adele Morse is a faithful team leader, drawing in both men and women to minister with her to those seeking healing.

Adele Morse is certified through International Association of Healing Rooms (IAHR) founded by Cal Pierce. She is accredited to minister in Healing Rooms and teaches these skills to others.

The Healing Room volunteers of The House of Living Water are trained to minister God’s Word. Each are well versed in the root of illness as taught in Pastor Henry Wright’s, A More Excellent Way.

Today, Adele has a team of five volunteers, Ron and Jan McDaniel, Stephen Schrader, and Janeen Quillman. There are many stories of healing and release, pages of Christian and a few Jews seeking healing.

 Weekly Wednesday 

Round Table Discussion
    10:30 am – 12:00 pm

The Sons of Jacob, that is,
                    The Tribes of Israel.

Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark will be leading the discussion.

The foundation of this study is the Holy Scriptures, but studied in the light of the “symbolic meaning of the Tribes of Israel in these last days.”

Using Gwen Shaw’s in-depth study on the 13 tribes of Israel, this round table discussion will look at the natural Tribes and their descendants and from these be able to identify the spiritual tribes, even physical Gentiles who will fulfill the callings, inheritances and destiny of the original Tribes of Israel.

Each member of this Round Table Discussion may begin to see character traits of the sons of Jacob in themselves and learn from this the future that may be theirs.

Join us, Wednesdays, 10:30 pm to noon for this Round Table Discussion with Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark. Bring the whole family!

Weekly Friday
Restorers of Israel meets for Prayer for Israelstrong
2 pm – 4 pm
Friday Afternoons

Lead by Quay Messner
“Spiritually, the gatherings are regularly filled with power and the Presence of the LORD.  However, His power and Presence always manifests in a different manner, which keeps everyone in great anticipation each week.  In most of the meetings we are blessed with live worship to assist us in drawing near to the LORD and then we move back and forth between worship and intercession.”
Quay Messner, prayer leader.

Torah Study in 2012

The apostle Paul, whose Hebrew name was Saul, encouraged Timothy, who was to take Paul’s place of ministry in Ephesus by saying, “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore …15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Tim 2:1-3,15 KJV

If there was ever a day to send this same encouragement to the body of Messiah, today is the day – STUDY, Study, study.

Isaiah declared, “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. Isaiah 33:6 KJV

Wednesday Bible Discussion, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm, at The House of Living Water is one place to study the Holy Scriptures if you are free during the day. There are many opinions but by the end of the meeting, scripture rules the day.

The Messiah warned, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matt 24:24 KJV

IF IT WERE POSSIBLE…

This possibility will not take place for those who study the scripture, all scripture, both old and new testaments because it is one book and the old covenant is not old and the new covenant has not really taken place for the nation of Israel who the prophet Jeremiah gave the prophecy to in the first place.

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.” Jeremiah 31:31 KJV

That scripture in itself can take a month to learn about the house of Israel, the northern tribes and Judah, the nation of Israel today identified by the Jewish people who returned from Babylon and were not assimilated into the nations.

One way to look at the entire Bible, is through Hebraic organization.

If we can grasp the fact that everything comes from the first five books of the Bible, we will be able to see the Lord’s working out His promise to restore all things to Him.

In addition, we will have directions for life that will bring blessings to not only us but our families.

Lastly, our orientation will turn from self to God, YHVH, who is Holy.

Think of it, now that we are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel, the Lord also says to us, “And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.” Lev 20:26 KJV

The apostle Paul spoke of it in his letter to the Ephesians, “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:12-13 KJV

To walk that calling out, the Lord will draw you to His WORD, from Genesis to Revelation. And by that obedience, generated through His love for us, we will not be deceived and we will be stable through all of the shaking that will continue to take place until…

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV

After the death and resurrection of Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, the Rabbi’s, at the Council of Jamnia in 90 AD, took all of the scribe’s writings and approved those writings they felt were inspired and infallible, grouping them for the time they were written and by whom they were spoken. At that time the 39 books were closed to any additions.

The divisions of the Tanakh, what we call the Old Testament are:

Torah (meaning teaching) The Five Books of Moses	The Prophets "Nevi'im"	The Writing "Ketuvim"
Bereishith (In the beginning...) (Genesis) Shemoth (The names...) (Exodus) Vayiqra (And He called...) (Leviticus) Bamidbar (In the wilderness...) (Numbers) Devarim (The words...) (Deuteronomy)	Yehoshua (Joshua) Shoftim (Judges) Shmuel (I &II Samuel) Melakhim (I & II Kings) Yeshayah (Isaiah) Yirmyah (Jeremiah) Yechezqel (Ezekiel) The Twelve (treated as one book):   --Hoshea (Hosea)   --Yoel (Joel)   --Amos   --Ovadyah (Obadiah)   --Yonah (Jonah)   --Mikhah (Micah)   --Nachum   --Chavaqquq (Habbakkuk)   --Tzefanyah (Zephaniah)   --Chaggai   --Zekharyah (Zechariah)   --Malakhi	Tehillim (Psalms) Mishlei (Proverbs) Iyov (Job) Shir Ha-Shirim (Song of Songs) Ruth Eikhah (Lamentations) Qoheleth (the author's name) (Ecclesiastes) Esther Daniel Ezra & Nechemyah (Nehemiah) (treated as one book) Divrei Ha-Yamim (The words of the days) (Chronicles)

The House of Living Water’s monthly calendar has each of the weekly Torah readings, a further reading from the Prophets and a new testament reading. Each relates to the Torah portion reading.

It is from the Torah that all other scripture is worked out in the affairs of men. The day has come to an end for Christians to shun the study of the “Torah” because it is the Hebrew word for teaching which has been frowned upon as “the Law.”

When someone says, Jesus did away with the laws of the Old Testament, ask them about the Ten Commandments, the Decalogue, Ten Words. Did Jesus say adultery is now OK?

Remember Jesus words, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matthew 5:17 KJV

In a recent reading of a portion of Genesis, Toldot, Genesis 25:19 - 28:9, we are presented with Esau. Scripture scholars speak of the “evil inclination” and the antidote for it being the study of “Torah.”

Remember, all wisdom and knowledge come from the first five books of the Bible, little seeds that grow as the years pass by.

The prayer of the Board of The House of Living Water is that the Lord would draw each of you and anyone you share this Water Bearers Newsletter with, to study the Bible, from beginning to end and to consider joining the growing groups of people, Jews and Christians alike in following the Torah Reading schedule.

As you read, pray. Every observant Jewish person is reading the same scripture. Pray for the Jewish community in St Louis, around the world and in Israel that they may see the plan God has for them that He may receive glory through them and that the nations will then know He is God.

“Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.” Ezek 36:23NIV
