Until I have the grace and opportunity to post more, I urge you to walk in humility and go slow.
As the blessings acumulate, do not over-interpret them as a statement of divine endorsement of everyhting you are saying and doing. PLEASE, PLEASE walk in humility. Changes must come slowly, so start now.
One defunct commune in The Names had developed a strict doctrine against laughter, even though laughter is one of the promises extended to the oppressed. PLEASE, PLEASE keep your sense of humor, and be willing to laugh at your self on occassion, and the ironies of life. Yahweh made the monkeys .... He has a sense of humor.
Many other fine tips on this blog. The one about the water rights is absolutely critical.
Finally, your blood kin is not the same as the assembly and your assembly is not the same as your blood kin. If you treat your little assembly as though they are blood kin, then you are not operating as an assembly. This may seem obscure to you now. So here's a tip. If you find that the rules governing your family OVER-RULE Congregational Law (In The Scriptures), then you are not operating as an assembly, you are operating as a family. Example: If a visitor speaks the truth in your Sabbath gathering, but you silence him because it's your home, then you are not operating as an assembly ... you are operating as a family.
And now you have a clue as to how cult leaders get started. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
Yours in Yahshua,
Michael

I am very new to Messianic Christian ways. The Holy Spirit & what I have found in scripture has totally convicted me that Gentile beleivers are to be grafted into the olive tree, Isreal & Gentiles are the wild olive tree. (Romans 11:17). My husband is a believer of the Messiah (Christ)but does not have any interest in Messianic. He says that is for the Jews & we are not Jewish,etc. So I am trying to follow my convictions but yet be obedient to Yahweh and His word & have a peaceful home.. I think an Amish style Messianic community/farm would be wonderful. I will be praying about that. Yahweh will have to work it out for me to follow the Messianic way more. I hope that I can some day live my life completely Messianic. Does that make any sence?

This is (The Wellers) ..just could not figure out what password we put in, lol ....anyways we ended up going to this place called Prairie Creek Settlement (P.C.S.) also known as The Church of Acts over in Richland, MO and what was suppose to be a community of Messianic believers slowly changed in the course of 3 months into a "bridge community" meaning they compromise on Torah, (not that we exclude patience and mercy)but this became bold compromise which is not what we signed up for. I thank Yah He got us out of there because from what I understand all people of like mind who were so broken in spirit to being set apart by the increase of hypocrisy ended up leaving as well. Also that Yah rewards capitalism over communism, meaning you decide what is don't with the fruit of your labors and not others or one hypocritical leader (hint, hint ...lol). Anyways its no longer just me and my wife who still hold to this idea, but two other married couples our age who are willing to do something with us as well. And I'm glad we went through this despite the financial catching up we had to do to get stable again because we now know well what NOT to do ...lol  And let me refine the past statement on (Amish style community) ...We think it would be better to be a school where Messiah is Teacher and not men (John 8:31) and put Messiah (The Word -Torah and Gospels) on our hearts by memorizing scripture (as they did in the last great reformation) so we can walk in the power of His Word without stumbling and be as those who have truly been set free by the Son of Yah and sin no more, being bond servants to righteousness in the Messiah. Well sorry for the late reply I am thankful for all your suggestions and prayers ...we have not checked on this post for months because we lost heart in it after seeing nothing after a week. But we may contact you who have made offers. And yes I am willing to split the cost of land with people if in OK where I live. Or better yet if anyone has land but dont use it for anything why not give to us ...for I drive a big truck across the mid west and see lots of land abandoned or not even being put to use. Thanks again and Shalom ...Shalomiel, and Brandi Weller. Also for you that are able to make petition pray that the people running that place I mentioned above repent because I hear things of sin leading to death in the camp. Thanks my e-mail is wordimplanted@live.com

we love what you said. Because the same exact thing happened ...about silencing a guest at the "community" we lived at....that was one of the signs that we were trying to be turned into a cult. sorry but Messiah is my leader and teacher...not man. Thanks so much for your input! Also I just added you to facebook! my name is brandi weller

That makes a lot of sense. Your husband will be lead by Yah as he is a believer and your example of Torah observance and the Feasts will be the best. In time your husband will see the truth of the scriptures particularly in the Feast as it so clearly points to Yeshua and as a believer that may win him over towards a deeper messianic understanding.

My wife and I have wanted to get out of the rat race as well. Has anyone found a Truly Healthy Messianic Community, a place like Heaven on Earth, preferably in Texas, USA.

I've come to see we are to be a light right where we are, and Yahweh will gather us when it is time. We are to love those around us, and little by little we have found believers in our state or nearby all about 2 to 3 hours away...willing to travel at least once a month to fellowship:)
Praise Yahweh, HalleluYah! Actually rainbow- there have been those in ...(various times and places) who have done this AND -when i first came - it was wonderful- - obviously - if in 1st year "Christianity" it didn't last - what more can i say- right-
........................footnotes................... yes, a light set on a hill cannot be hid. yet when the wicked are in power, the righteous take cover(sometimes! - >< - sometimes SPEAK UP ! ) oy/flesh pray! abba's will always. ... a time for this, a time for that.... no excuse , no rationalizing.... listen listen listen to abba and do what he says..... ... ... RE --- "it didn't last" .... au contrare! .... the world hates the true ekklesia, believers obeying abba by faith and grace in yeshua .... so all over the world, for quite some time now, EVERY TIME .... ..................EVERY TIME.................. ... true believers get together for any lengthe of time.... ... the world /(and the enemy of christ; satan and demons) ... attacks attacks attacks - from outside and from inside !!! ................................. recently for example in the usa, keith green and his family / fellowship had an unselfish gathering and sharing place for several/many believers to live together sharing all things. the r..m..n c.th.l.c powers and others quashed them.(after a few years time)..... but believers went out and started new houses in truth and fellowship.... (QUIETLY), sharing the gospel freely and truly but not drawing national attention to themselves (except when and as abba brings it about) ................................... btw, this was right where they lived. their own homes. yes. ................................... ..... ... .. . in most of the world, usa especially(living here, knowing here).... the biggest hindrance to true self-less fellowship is selfishness. (calling anything one's own). only yeshua is able to show his little ones how to live self-sacrificially(totally required to give up everything!). .................................... ........................ do not give up hope! NO!.... hope only in abba. he and only he will not disappoint you. hope in man, or try to make it happen, sorry - doomed to failure. (same as salvation as when his personal disciples asked yeshua directly HOW THEN CAN ANYONE AT ALL BE SAVED ?!) with man it is impossible. but whoever trusts abba to accomplish this, for them it is as good as done already ! yeshua's own words! YES!

I (Shamayon) remember seeing this same question posted some time ago on this forum. I have hesitated to respond as it seems that there are so many different views these days as to what it should look like for “believers” to live in close proximity of one another, sharing life in a “community” setting.....but from our view point much of what we see these days in believers is so different to what it would have been like to live in close proximity of father Abraham…..the man who is the earthly father of the covenant we are to live by as the Yasharim of Yasharal (“Israel”).
To us, what it looks like to live together in close proximity to one another from a thorah perspective is much more important than the concept of simply living together in community for the sake of fellowship.
That being said, there is an opportunity where we are to live and experience the vital, thorah-centered, agrarian life as Father Yahwah has called us to live.....in the midst of other nations and their “worldly” cultures, yet distinctly free of their defiling way of life. A life free of forbidden images of that with the breath of life in it. A life free of harmful and unclean things that damage our bodies. A life free of words derived from the names of mighty ones other than the all-mighty Yahwah. A life free of celebrations rooted in pagan traditions. A life free of the teachings of the pastors, rabbis, shamans, priests, and other spiritual leaders of the false traditions of the religions of man, and focused on the thorah-centered commandments, statutes and judgements of Yahwah. A life free of the bondage of sin/lawlessness (thorahlessness).
More yet, a life centered upon the seventh day Shabath as reckoned by the moon and the first light of the day. A life centered upon life-giving, undefiled and pure organic food. A life centered upon the beauty of animal sacrifice by undefiled hearts and hands. A life centered upon being clothed in clothing made from non-mixed natural fibers. A life centered upon the Creator-centered agrarian life. In short, a life full of the life-giving vitality of the ancient paths where there is rest for our souls.
If this is what one is looking for we have a place in Central America where there are Yasharim who focus on living and growing in the unadulterated thorah-centered life and looking forward to the eventual true restoration of the covenanted children of Abraham to the land of Yasharal. Here we embrace the agrarian life, raising organic crops, beef, lamb, and goat.....free of the contamination of the corrupted world. Free of the bondage of the ways of fallen man and his governments.....and full of life and the provision of the eternal Father.
Are we “different”? ....Yes. And thankful for it.
If this is what you are seeking then please feel free to contact us at haYasharim@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Shamayon and Rabkah
I tried to email these good people but the email instantly bounced back! I'm throwing a lifeline one more time in the hopes that Yahuweh will show the way I should go.
I'm a young woman stuck in a rut in New Zealand, surrounded by a sea of non-believers, I feel incredibly isolated. I long to have close friendships again - something that I lost since coming to the faith. I also realise that bad company breeds bad habits (1 cor 15:33), and I'm finding it difficult to survive in this society, especially with finding work. People quickly find that I don't fit into their social cliques and for easier jobs, I'm overqualified. In addition, being fresh out of college when needing to keep Sabbath, the feast days and wearing long linen dresses and a head-covering.
Every day, I'm at risk of having to sell my soul, but I refuse to break any of Yahuweh's commandments. In order not to become a beggar, I got myself into a nursing degree to obtain a job that may permit me to keep the moadim, but daily I'm discerning deception after deception concerning the health industry. It sickens me  , and every day of the course is a burden.
I long to go back to the basics of organic food, natural medicine and healthy lifestyle (which includes the blessings of the Torah the health industry so readily forsakes). No one in my family or amongst those I know supports this decision, and people think I'm wasting my education and talents. I know also that I'm supposed to rejoice always - is it wrong for me to hate the city life that I've been placed into? As of now, I don't have any savings and I'm carrying a debt of about 2 full years of wages from my tertiary studies. What shall I do? I'm not sure if Yahuweh wants me out of here, but my own soul is screaming at me daily "get out of here". 
I don't want to be another Lot, whom had Yahuweh risk the lives of many to be rescued while staying in a land of wickedness. Nor do I want to be foolish and not prepare for the famines that are soon-to-come. My heart longs to be with Yahuweh s people and to serve the Body of Mashiach.
Although I may preach the Word here and there, directly or subtly, I feel it is to little effect, possibly because I'm a woman doing it on my own, and possibly because I too may be deceived. In fact, I really feel that my role is not so much to spread the gospel than to become a fully-fledged Hebrew woman as Yahuweh intended a woman to be. This is why I'm drawn to more frequent fellowship amongst the saints, learning Hebrew thought and meanings in scripture, and practically living out a woman's Biblical role - skillfully providing the basic necessities of the home, their husband, children, animals and the needy in their communities. I believe Yahuweh created me to produce seed of Elohim, to reach out to the needy and the poor, to have dominion over the earth. To be fruitful and multiply. To quietly study the Word. To follow in obedience to a man (or elders) after Yahuweh's own heart. Unless He tells me otherwise, I believe it to well within the Torah and thus right to pursue this dream. I'm not trained in farm-work or things like sowing, but I can do basic stitching, cook, clean, make tzitzit, sing, dance, photography, do basic nursing, counselling and administration. I studied psychology and know some physical sciences. I'm fit and a quick learner, always willing to learn new skills and to lend a helping hand.
Yahuweh is the center of my life. Searching out the Truth has been a priority in my life since I first picked up a Bible. This is especially so in the areas of the true Sabbath and true Names, but I've come to the conclusion that I just won't know for sure. Thus, what I'm looking for in a fellowship is the humility to consider and adapt to new revelations, a heart of repentance, love and zealousness for the Word.
If there is such a farming fellowship, please tell me of its structure, how you deal with those who don't follow a certain teaching and whom you consider as non-believers.
I would have fainted, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahuweh in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13. My strength fails me, and now I wait upon Yahuweh's deliverance in whatever shape or form. It will certainly take a miracle.~ Yahuweh bless you, and keep you: Yahuweh make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you: Yahuweh lift up His countenance upon you, and give you shalom. :-)
With ahava,
channah
