PS - Recently Dawn has been fielding a lot of feedback from the many new viewers and members who have been discovering us on the live-streaming platforms we are newly broadcasting on. Her heart for them has moved her to reach out to new members, as well as old friends, with a new opportunity to interact with her and with one another. I'm excited about this! For more details, read what she has written below.

From Dawn

Recently, Tsiyon has begun live-streaming His Word and His Message out in many new locations. Perhaps you are now on the Tsiyon News mailing list because you saw one of those messages on Twitch, heard it on Spotify, ran across Tsiyon on Periscope or another outlet, or from the Tsiyon Road radio station broadcasts. With new streaming outlets come new people captivated by His beautiful nature to express Himself through His creation and His people. But life isn’t perfect. We, His people, also aren’t perfect. The world is growing darker all around us, and the net result is a lot of hurting people who want to Hope in Him, but are shy, afraid even, to try (in some cases to try again), often with cause.

What are we so afraid of? Failing? Our relationship(s) with other people? Yes, all of these and more. Yet, that world around us is growing darker and darker, so that His people are going to shine so brightly that we’re going to discover one another, so we can cling to each other. That is, as long as we remain true to Messiah, and if we don’t decide to hide His light in us under a basket—which results in putting out the light and loss of Him. No! Let’s stay the course and help one another finish the race!

If fear and trust issues in relationships may be holding us back, there is no better place to start than to focus on that—admit it to Him—and get started resolving it—working through it. The wisdom I’ve seen over the years about relationships is that every relationship can be helped through working on one’s spiritual life. I’ve never seen even one person who gave working on their personal relationship with Messiah an honest try–who honestly tried to reach out to God in their prayer life, in reading and learning about Him from His Word, who was seeking the Holy Spirit /Ruach haKodesh who didn’t see an improvement in all of their relationships! First with Him and then with His people.

Once someone’s personal relationship with their Creator is right, then the other relationships in life seem to fall in place. It is a patient process, but one which is so worth it in the end of the process, bringing about various fruit(s) along the way. Otherwise, the day-to-day emotions, stressors, and even aches/pains of life (physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, etc) tend to wear us out–so that we get so focused on our own ”issue(s)” we cannot see good in life, or anything else other than the perceived problems. Over time, looking at things from a slightly different perception changes everything. This truth has always amazed me.

For example, that simple encounter we’ve all heard a ton of times since we were little kids on thru to the grown up years—Adam and Eve in the garden. ”Did HE really say…” is a small perspective difference than what was said to Adam and to Eve in the Garden. I’ve always marveled at what a difference a tiny deviation can end up causing or solving in the long run. This is the type of thing I’m super encouraged may help each precious one of His in our own set of circumstances. I’ve seen it work in other people’s lives, so I am confident it will help you too, if you are willing to give it a try.

What can we do to get ready for the deeper walk with Him we need in the days ahead? Focusing on Him. Why not check out the Tsiyon Discipleship/Talmidim program and let’s work on this together. Starting November 1,2020 anyone interested can join me in this journey. We will form a group of folks walking through the Discipleship program together. Many of us are in similar sets of circumstances–some are freaked about this or that (relationship), or something inside ourselves which scares us (human nature–we’ve all got it), or even the events which are obviously coming to this home we call Earth–no matter if any of us want these events (albeit, some of which are super scary!) to occur or not. Despite these challenges, we’ve somehow got to navigate life to get thru it all without harm to ourselves and without harm to others. . . yet life is messy and there is a lot of painful stuff being slung around (news, social media, work place, domestically–on and on). Focus on that doesn’t get us where we need to go in the Remnant Exodus ahead.

Every person ever born deserves his or her chance to know their Creator, to really see Him for who He is–not who other people fake Him to be–but the real Him. Then, after learning who He really is, they deserve, since every person is made in His Image, they deserve to know He loves them. They deserve to find out how they can be assured of His love, and how to know they aren’t as ”hated” as the world, circumstances, and various aches and pains of life may have ”taught” them. (Some of us hear that message directly–the rest of us hear it from the unspoken outcomes of the events of life, but every single human ever born has so much of it to overcome if they are to know Him and His love.) Then, if His child hangs on long enough through that process, then that child of the Living God deserves and can find the happiness and fulfillment with no b. s. involved. No fake phony stuff–but the real thing–fulfillment in Him which only comes from being the person He created us to be. That process of discovery is WONDERFUL and causes life. The process of the sin-man causes death, and misery, and pain, and suffering.

The world around us is being engulfed in a growing darkness. People need to know His people are there–caring and praying. We can do that for one another–even in our broken, imperfect, human, messy state–we can do it. It doesn’t take more than that to make a difference. I’ve heard from several folks who are too shy yet to reply and they were concerned they may not be perfect at keeping up with a program each week, so they are afraid to start. No worries–we can take a break sometimes, and its really okay if everyone goes at their own pace–it is just that some people appreciate an email or need someone reaching out to remind them to come and join in. I hope to help in that way.

If you are interested in joining in, here is the description of what will be involved: https://tsiyon.net/join-our-talmidim-training-program/. We will start listening to one program a week. Then anyone in the group can comment on the programs, and interact with each other each week. People so need one another!

"As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." Proverbs 27:17.

As co-host of the On the Road to Tsiyon radio programs the Talmidim Training Program is based upon, I know, perhaps better than most anyone, how life-changing these unique messages really are. Now, I want to personally walk through them with you. Join me! I know you will be blessed by this deeper perspective of His Word.

In Messiah's Love, Dawn
