MINISTRY YAHSHUA.NET

Yahshua.net exists due to God’s Will, for His glory and for the glory of Jesus Christ, His son, our Lord, in the Holy Spirit. For the spiritual birth, maintenance and growth of those who look for Jesus Christ through the internet because they have received His calling. Yahshua.net is part of the people of the Lord, to preach the well-known “repent” of John the Baptist, the call to solve our situation as sinners separated from the Lord and in need of salvation for our souls, through the “metanoia” or change of mind through the Holy Spirit in our soul; that is repentance. Yahshua.net preaches God’s salvation found by faith in the sacrifice in the Cross of Calvary of His Son Jesus Christ, resurrected and sitting at the right hand of the Throne of Glory on High; He who Is the Door, the Way, the Truth and the Life so that we come to the Kingdom of the Lord for eternity.

HISTORY AND MISSION OF THE MINISTRY YAHSHUA.NET

Know the Lord, your God!

Your salvation and continuity in the Way until the return of Jesus Christ

The Bible is, above all, spiritual: get to know the Bible’s message!

You are, and are a part of, the temple of the Holy Spirit and Bride of the Son of God.

You are a soldier of Christ and your target are the souls of your neighbour, for God.

Help those in need. If you love God, love your neighbour as yourself.

Since Yahshua.net was founded in 2004 (our Spanish ministry - Jesucristo.net was founded in 1997) our target is that any person, once he is in Christ, lives as a personal friend of God, our Father. For this to happen, first it is through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and, additionally, in both cases the base for spiritual growth is through the spiritual understanding of His Word, The Bible, as explained in Colossians 1:9, so that man goes through, first – through faith - the new birth from the Spirit of the Lord and, in both cases, to build his inner temple, where Jesus Christ can live and reign, so that he can make the following verses his own:

…Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are…1Corinthians 3:16-17.

…Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? ²⁰ For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s…1Corinthians 6:19-20.

As we are receptacles of the temple of the new heavenly Jerusalem, whose Lamb and whose Temple is the Lord Himself,  Revelation 21:22, His Son Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, anoints us in the faith so that we may use the quality of virtue in the will to become, children of God who love Him and our neighbour, John 1:12, through the power that He grants us and through the faith in his name.

We preach Christ in freedom, because man is the Temple of God when the Spirit of God dwells inside him, when he has received Jesus Christ. We are Christians for the glory of the Lord. In Yahshua.net a Christian can learn the Bible and receive from it "…the mind of Christ…" 1Corinthians 2:16, in addition to meeting other brethren in the faith of Christ on the Way until the coming of the Lord in His Kingdom.

About our history, those of us who started this task of evangelization and spiritual growth in the Internet, back in 1997 (when our Spanish ministry - Jesucristo.net was founded. Yahshua.net was founded in 2004) received the vision of the spiritual interpretation of the Bible, in line with the parables of the Teacher, as a fundamental and essential tool for spiritual growth for the Christians of our times, as we face the variety of doctrines of churches in the world and the hunger for true knowledge of the Lord and the Bible in their true spiritual depth, to be applied personally to the construction of our inner temple, where the Spirit of the Lord can live inside. The results have been of great blessing for the brethren who have followed and continue to follow the spiritual teaching of the Bible, getting to live like mature Christians, wherever they may go.

vision of YAHSHUA.net

The Lord always spoke in a deep and meaningful manner, with parables and spiritually. The Church, in its many denominations and in too many occasions, has remained blinded by its organization, denomination, tradition, growth and power, forgetting the most important part of their work: man’s soul. Once the Christian is saved, we have to apply the Word of God to Moses when we speak to our brethren: … Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground…Exodus 3:5. In this sense, the holy land where the Lord dwells is our soul and the soul of a brother in Christ, the Temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore we must take the Gospel of Salvation off our feet “the principles of the doctrine of Christ”, Hebrews 6:1, when we are with those who are already saved, and share the Solid Food of the Lord, and Christ’s love for the neighbour and for the brethren of our congregation, as in Tabernacles, and for those who still do not know the Lord, so that sharing the ministry we can bring them to the feet of the Cross of Christ. Paul used to teach: …For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not Solid Food. Hebrews 5:12. …Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4.13.

Over the years we have been receiving emails from brethren who do not find the Solid Food, the brotherly attitude and the joy of sharing Christ with other brethren, as friends, as family of the Lord, who can share worship and works of faith and good deeds. In many other cases, brethren do enjoy a good relationship in their church but they cannot find solid food for their spiritual growth, because their pastors do not know it or because they don’t teach it, fearing that they will lose their sheep, when it is actually the opposite. Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep! this is what the Lord demanded from Peter in John 21:16-17.

Yahshua.net is the web for spiritual growth of Christians, so that the Church finds in all its members a well coordinated and united body through the joints, and anointed by the Spirit of the Lord for the Great Commission of Matthew 28:16-20. If you share the Spirit of this thought in your heart, you are invited to be part of this ministry as Christian; and if you are a pastor, as church, although all of us are already part of the Church of Christ. Warmest regards in brotherly kindness and welcome in the name of Jesus Christ.

SECTIONS IN YAHSHUA.NET

A Christian ministry may be divided in four parts: To start with, Evangelism for the salvation of man for the Kingdom of the Lord. Second, teaching the Bible in the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, for spiritual growth. Third, to make the new Christian become part of the Body of Christ, i.e. that he is part of the Church in a local church, or in brethren’s homes – like at the beginning – for praise, worship and observance of faith. In the brotherly kindness amongst the brethren in Christ so that they may know that we are children of God by our fruits. Matthew 7:6. And fourth, and last, in his upbringing as disciple of Christ in the love of the neighbour, doing good works, in the obedience to God and in the preaching, thus closing the circle and returning to Evangelism which he went through in his first stage, now for his neighbour, as fishers of men, the ministry of every Christian. Luke 5:10.

Yahshua.net provides an answer to those four parts through the 12 sections of its contents:

The Gospel

The Bible

Ministry

Bible Studies

Spiritual Dictionary

Bible Doctrine

Statement of Faith

Bible Prophecies

Prophetic News

Humanitarian Aid

Family-Church

Who we are 

There are new projects which will be added to the Ministry Yahshua.net as and when they are developed, for the website as well as the church and any other media if it is the Lord’s will.

These 12 sections in 4 parts are a structure which provides the Biblical resources for the development of  the 7 objectives of this ministry in man, as mentioned above:

Know the Lord, your God!

Your salvation and continuance in the Way until the return of Jesus Christ

The Bible is, above all, spiritual: get to know the Bible’s message!

You are, and are a part of, the temple of the Holy Spirit and Bride of the Son of God.

You are a soldier of Christ and your target are the souls of your neighbour, for God.

Help those in need. If you love God, love your neighbour as yourself.

The Gospel is the main message and the basis of Yahshua.net, which is a Christian ministry for the proclamation of Jesus Christ in the Internet, as Saviour, Messiah and King of every man, and that fulfills two objectives: first, for those who are looking for God so that they get to know Jesus Christ personally and, second, for those who already know Him to find the Solid Food of the Bible and to remain spiritually nourished until His return in His Kingdom, so the Lord may perfect them, strengthen and establish them. In Yashua.net we preach throughout internet the Gospel of the Kingdom of God as it could not be any other way, the message and the main objective of the work of Jesus Christ being the salvation of souls for eternity.

Many brothers have received the Lord through this media, because it is the message and the good news that saves our soul for eternal life. This message needs to be the centre of every Christian ministry, as key stone, the Cross of Christ. Man has to be brought to the feet of the Cross of Christ in repentance, for salvation and reconciliation with God. From here onwards, whoever is born again starts a new life under God’s blessing. In Yahshua.net a Christian may change his character, his mind, his feelings, but – most important of all – he can change his spirit to attain a heart blessed by God and thus, once he is saved for eternity, stay in the Way in the most relevant task in history: preaching the Gospel for the salvation of souls for the Kingdom of God, so that the new disciples are temples of the Lord, for His glory. This is the Great Commission of Matthew 28. This comes first and, afterwards, building their new lives on the solid foundation, which is the faith on the Son of God and His word, that allows us to become Children of God, to enter His eternal Kingdom.

The foundation of Yahshua.net is the Bible, upon which this ministry has been built. We teach how to interpret and read the Bible which is God’s revelation for man and whose contents are divided into four main lines of teaching: the knowledge of God, the historical-prophetical teaching, the moral-doctrinal teaching (which has to be from the perspective of the New Testament), and the symbolic and spiritual teaching. Yahshua.net deals in depth specifically with the spiritual teaching of the Bible, Colossians 1:9, as we find in the Holy Scriptures in Romans 7:6. The Scriptures are the living Word of God, which reveals to us not only His Mind, but also His Heart, His Soul and His Spirit, and His knowledge is the most important treasure in the life of man for his relationship with God.

You may find your growth through spiritual Bible Studies which are the Solid Food for our spirit, and Studies about Bible Prophecies fulfilled, being fulfilled and pending fulfillment, so that the Christian may know the time we are living in God’s prophetic clock, not to know …"the day and the time"…but so that we can evangelize better. The section on Prophetic News complements the section on Bible Prophecies. These teachings are the result of the revelation and interpretation of the Spirit of the Lord on the different topics. In order to make study easier, we have a Sitemap of Yahshua.net where you will find the whole website listed following an order of spiritual growth, and an additional section called: In Biblical Order.

The backbone of the ministry Yahshua.net is the Spiritual Dictionary, that provides the spiritual line of interpretation found in the Bible, as the revelation received from the Holy Spirit for the understanding of His Word, and how to apply it to our lives. The Spiritual Dictionary of the Bible of Yahshua.net focuses on the spiritual vision of the message in the Bible. If you apply this meaning to the Bible texts, it will open up their interpretation for the readers’ spiritual growth. The spiritual meaning exposed in this dictionary does not replace the literal, or historical or prophetical meaning of the Bible; it complements the richness of the Living Word of God. The texts quoted are examples where the spiritual meaning is of more relevance. The Holy Spirit teaches His people according to John 14:26 and 1John 2:27, all the truth of the Word of God, because Christ is the Truth and the Truth will make us free…And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures…Luke 24:45. This Spiritual Dictionary of the Bible is the outcome of the spiritual vision received by the author during his life in Christ, which started the ministry Jesucristo.net (sister website in Spanish) in the Internet. This compilation has been made out of prayer to the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, with the intention of inspiring and revealing to those who know Him, or want to know God, with more intimacy in their lives with the Holy Spirit for their spiritual growth. Spiritual vision, as in parables, is a tool of spiritual growth from the Holy Spirit and it is a gift from the Lord for those who have received faith in Christ, that precious gift which the Lord grants to those who have been called and want to change their lives to walk hand in hand with Him, changing their minds in the “repentance”, their hearts and their souls because they have experienced His presence or because they are looking for it and know that life without Him is death, because unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. John 3:3.

Knowledge and study of what is known in the Bible as “sound doctrine” is essential for a Christian in an individual level, and for the Church in a teaching level. You will find an answer to many questions in a total of 40 subjects of Doctrine. In these subjects, we will learn about issues of major relevance, such as the fact that the Son of God is the only mediator between God and men, and therefore saints, virgins, ancestors, pagan gods…are not accepted because addressing them is anti-Christ and whoever does it is cut off from communication and, consequently, from the Lord’s blessings. We teach about the love of money, which is the root of all evil, many who have coveted it have walked away from faith. Sexual immorality, which is so “in” nowadays in a society that is just an evolved version of Sodom and Gomorrah, which will, likewise, be destroyed in the coming of the Kingdom of the Lord. Salvation needs to be looked after and nourished throughout our lives, since it is a gift from the Lord which man cannot obtain through his own means, merits, works, or personal moral, and we are unable to fulfil the Law of God, which Christ has fulfilled for us, but its moral part is the highest possible. With our acts, love, praise, works, prayer, daily reading of His Word, assembly and preaching His Word, priesthood of intercession and leaving Christ to build – with His Holy Spirit – the inner temple of our souls, in on-going spiritual growth and reform, we will bear witness to it. Read about the History of the Church. How we can live in our society, how to live with the brethren of each church, how to live with the family. All these and other subjects can be found in the sections listed above. Through this virtue of keeping ourselves in the Way of the Lord until He comes in His Kingdom, the Holy Spirit provides us the strength to live, leading us by His hand.

The Statement of Faith of Yahshua.net tries to bring together all the answers to the whole basis of doctrine which a Christian ministry should reply to. In the Statement of Faith, a Christian will find a true reflection of the feeling and the teaching of our ministry and will be able to identify himself – or not – with us. Study its contents through the Scriptures, because we have endeavored to keep to and live in Christ in His Biblical teaching in the Spirit.

The section of Prophetic News only includes news that announce or fulfill Bible Prophecies and is the ideal complement to this section. Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecy about Himself and where the last prophecies will be fulfilled, the ones that will lead the world to its encounter with God in the second coming of Jesus Christ. This is the target of this section. The literal sons of Isaac (Israel) and the literal sons of Ismail (Arabs), both sons of the same physical father, Abraham, continue to fight a battle to death over it in the Palestinian conflict which has only one solution to it: that they receive Jesus Christ, who is also their Messiah, as father of all nations, because he believed God. Messianic Jews, who are rapidly growing amongst the Jewish community, are already fulfilling the prophecy about Israel in the end of times. Additionally, we have a section that is linked to the Prophetic News due to its relevance and controversy to provide answers to the arguments …"of science falsely so called"…which changes according to the times, and to recognize the knowledge which is also true at the light of the Bible – Yahshua.net has a section: Science and Faith. Controversial issues such as creationism versus evolution, or the archeological evidence of Biblical events and others are discussed at the light of the Scriptures and should never lead to separation amongst the Church, since these issues do not provide salvation and neither keep the faith of the Christian, only the Lord does. Science explains what can be seen. Faith is the conviction of what cannot be seen. God’s science and man’s.

Yahshua.net recommends all Christians to actively participate in the good works in their churches, individually in their communities, their society and the world. Humanitarian Aid is part of Christian love, called Charity. We also recommend all Christians who access this ministry, to preach the Gospel of Salvation. To do so, they must pray to God, have good knowledge of the Bible and liaise with other brethren in their church for the Great Commission.

Once the disciple knows Jesus and has become temple of the Holy Spirit on a personal level, as stone of faith, he becomes part of the collective temple made by carved stones, the lives of other brethren. The Stone that is the cornerstone is Jesus Christ, the Rock of our salvation. This is where we understand that the main objective amongst brethren is to build the Church in the love of God and with: …Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Matthew 10:27, then we are part of the family of the Church.

From Yahshua.net, we share our spiritual and church experience in Jesus Christ, and we make every effort to help and receive everybody as brethren, Jewish or Gentile, Christian evangelical, catholic or protestant who may have difficulties in their churches, or independent…in fact anybody who is sincerely looking for God, people of all types, origins and sources, who make an effort to understand the Truth of the Bible to know Jesus Christ, the Word of God and His will to accomplish it. With Christians who are looking for the Lord Jesus Christ through the Internet. We welcome all those who are ready, like Abraham, to come out of their land and kindred to go to the new land of the Lord, to a personal relationship with Him. We also share with disciples of Jesus Christ form churches all over the world who believe, according to the Bible, that the Salvation of Jesus Christ is the only one that God has provided for every person of every nation in humanity. Jesus Christ is the only intercessor accepted by God the Father, the only Door to God, the only Way to God, the only Truth and the Life; nobody comes to the Father but through Him. Gospel of John 14:6.

We are, therefore, born-again Christians through the faith that the Holy Spirit gives us to call Jesus Christ “Lord”, and in the sacrifice of the Son of God on the Cross, and so that we follow the Way to God on the footsteps of the first friends of the Lord, like Abraham, and of the first Apostles, because the Lord is: …He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things). And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Taken from the letter of our brother, Paul the apostle, to the Ephesians 4:10 to 16. This text reflects Who we are.

Christianity, or most of it, still needs to return to the Christianity of the early years – this is something we emphasize through Yahshua.net  - as found in the New Testament, but which needs to be spiritually discerned, not through human mind because, as the Bible says: …the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life…2Corinthians 3:6, and to do so it is essential to be born again, John 3:3, and receive the Holy Spirit, the Essence of Christianity. Ask the Lord for it in prayer, in Jesus name.

If we have succeeded in helping you learn to live in harmony in your congregation, in your homes and in your churches, doing the works of the Lord, helping your neighbour, visiting the ill, prisoners, sharing with those cast away from society, being able to forgive brethren, to forgive our enemies and in spite of all get to the end of the Way who is Jesus Christ in His coming and His kingdom; our effort will have been for the glory of the Lord and for blessing and joy in our spirit, having served the Lord as good soldiers, during all our pilgrimage when we have been part of His armies.

Yahshua.net gives the glory to Him who, through His resurrection, is the first fruits and the Bread of Life; Him who will blow the trumpet in His coming, and with the Spirit of peace and unity of Psalm 133, amongst the brethren, like in the feast of Tabernacles, let us pray that the blessing of the Lord, the anointment of the Holy Spirit and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ guides our life until the coming of the Kingdom of God. May God guard us and bless us all in the name of His Son Jesus Christ for the Glory of God the Father. Amen.

Learn the Bible, the Word of God for every nation, it will make you wise; check and confirm every doctrine to avoid being misled, pray and praise God. Do not give up meeting in fellowship in houses and churches with other disciples, Psalm 133; you will know them by their fruits, the Son of God and our Saviour, and we live a life that can be recognized by our fruits, us Christians. If you are not a Christian, you are still on time. We invite you to the Kingdom of the Lord. Receive Jesus HERE. ...By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another…John 13:35. Smile :-) God loves us.

In the hope that this ministry will be of use and blessing, because it is at the service of His majesty the King of kings, Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, Yahshua, we greet you and bless you in the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
