TLC Ministries - Following the Way of Truth

  Greetings Family and Friends!   Yom Kippur/the Fast of Atonement is a 24-hour fasting period where no food or water is taken.   It’s not easy to do but every year, I am always blessed by it.   It is a very solemn moment of time to spend with God.   We are also commanded to rest.   No work for money is to be done.   This date usually occurs in September or October each year.   Yom Kippur concludes the Rosh Hashanah 40-day Teshuvah (preparation) season.   The last 10 days before Yom Kippur are called the “Days of Awe.”   The blowing of the trumpet happens the first 30 days, and people are warned to repent from their sins (to change).   Then the trumpet goes silent. The Saturday in between the 10 days is called the “Sabbath of Return.”   Now, please remember this…Jesus Christ is the Word of God, John chapter 1 verse 1. He is the same, yesterday, and today, and forever, Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8.   He does not lie. ...

Greetings!  Today, we are on the 2 nd day of the Rosh Hashanah celebration.   It started Friday at sundown and will conclude Sunday at sundown.   Each year I keep this Holy Day, God blesses me with more revelation regarding the return of Jesus.   God had shown me why Jesus did not know when He would return.   Jesus is called the Word of God, and we can read the Word of God all we want but we will not find that information in the Bible anywhere.   The truth is that no one knows…only Father God.   And every year, this season is all about the preparation to go.   God wants us to keep examining our lives and repent (change) with the help of His Holy Spirit.   He does not want us to be asleep, like the 10 virgins in Matthew chapter 25 verses 1-13 and have the return of Jesus catch us like a thief in the night.   What caught my attention this year is the fact that this is the only Holy Day that is celebrated for 2 days.   The Diaspora ...

Greetings!   This year,  Rosh Hashanah also known as the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah was celebrated for two (2) days beginning on Friday September 15, 2023, at sundown into Sunday September 17, 2023, at sundown. It is the Jewish year 5784!   I taught about this Holy Day on Zoom, which is posted on my Facebook page. It is always a time for serious reflection, and repentance of anything in our lives that does not line up with the Word of God.   There is a 40-day, time of preparation called the Teshuvah season that leads up to Rosh Hashanah and then to the conclusion of Yom Kippur.   This year, it began on August 16, 2023. Anyway, Yom Teruah is the shout and the sound of the awaking blast that the dead will hear at the return of Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 13-18. ESV Those alive in Christ will be changed.   Those not walking in the Spirit, whether dead or alive will not go.   Now, we do not know the day or the hour but just like J...

                Pastor Monsy Gallardo   In January of 1988, a young single mother, homeless and alone, walked into a church and felt as if a blanket of love had covered her.  Over the seven years that followed, that church became her family, and church became a training ground.   It was a Sabbath keeping church that believed in keeping the Holy Days but also believed in Jesus Christ and the workings of the Holy Spirit.  It was a Judeo-Christian Church.   Every Sabbath, I was instructed to bring a notebook, a pen, and a bible. I learned that God was love.  That was the love I had felt in the ways of my church family. From the very first day, they had shown me God, in everything they did to help me.  And from the training I received, my love for learning about God grew.  Sadly, through events that happened, that original church is no longer together.  It splintered into many daughter churches, a...
