B.O.B. - BAND OF BROTHERS Band of Brothers isa dramatized account of "Easy Company", part of the 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, assigned to the United States Army's101st Airborne Divisionduring World War II. Over ten episodes the series details the company's exploits during the war. Some people readily identify its origin in Act IV, Scene III of Shakespeare's "Henry V," when the title character rouses his wildly outnumbered British troops against the French at Agincourt in 1415: "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me…Shall be my brother..." For as long as we can remember, Holy Spirit has been prompting us to continue to reach for men and women who understand the work that it takes to build solid Kingdom relationships. We believe that ALL relationship starts with fellowship, but that usually applies to those within our immediate reach or personal spheres of influence. Relationship building is not easy, and even when commonality of goals and interests are involved, it can get messy. Relationships that are born of the Spirit, developed by grace, and established in love are the most productive and enduring. They are covenantal in nature, and we all need to be able to receive one another beyond doubtful disputation or differences. Our very life and ministry depend upon avoiding the temptation to become alienated and isolated from one another in Him. We are looking forward to all Yahweh has for us together. Our appeal is sincere, and we are looking forward to developing peer-to-peer, relationship with other brothers and friends who understand, and value ordained covenantal relationship. I am reminded of something that the 'Three Musketeers' used to say before going to battle. I also remember a quote from a movie called 'First Knight' that has become a big part of our understanding of real and living relationship. "All for one and one for all" "Brother to brother. Yours in life and in death" Now, because of your obedience to the truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart.For through the eternal and living Word of God you have been born again. And this “seed” that he planted within you can never be destroyed but will live and grow inside of you forever. For:Human beings are frail and temporary, like grass, and the glory of man fleeting like blossoms of the field. The grass dries and withers and the flowers fall off,but the Word of the Lord endures forever! And this is the Word that was announced to you!1Peter 1:22-25 TPT Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.1 Peter 2:17 NASB

There is a difference between ARCHITECTS and MASTER BUILDERS The primary difference is that one represents the design concept (Maker), and the other represents the project developer (Builder) MAKERS & BUILDERS see the end from the beginning, and they know how and where the schematic needs to be tweaked and / or corrected in order to move from concept to reality. ARCHITECTS & MASTER BUILDERS know the difference between renovation, restoration, and building new. Renovation involves mechanical removal and repair. Restoration involves original design and historical accuracy. Building NEW involves preparing the site for the foundation and building on the foundation according to specific plans/schematics or blueprints. Now, think about all of the above as it pertains to the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone hearing these words of Mine and NOT doing them, may be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24‭-‬27 LSB Now, when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is? And they answered, Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros–a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra–a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, (Ekklesia) and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:13‭-‬19 AMPC Yahshua said, "I will BUILD MY EKKLESIA upon the ROCK, and the gates of Hades will not be able to withstand it. ROCK = The revelation of Messiah, which is the way of the Father's heart by Holy Spirit. In other words, Yahshua is building His house according to the Father's schematic. Be it known that I am against anything that does NOT represent the house that Yahshua is building, but I am NOT against any legitimate work for the cause of Messiah. When the Father's gaze is upon us, He is looking for sons who represent His family, and He does not recognize, honor, or sanction our differences, distinctions, or delineations. Selah! (Architect & Master Builder) And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now, you are still not able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men? What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. According to the grace of God, which was given to me, like a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:1‭-‬11 LSB My journey with the Messiah started over fifty years ago now, but I still do not claim to be a master builder. However, I have come to see things through His eyes and understand from a heavenly vantage point. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise, for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Hebrews 11:8‭-‬10 LSB Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled. Hebrews 12:14‭-‬15 NET Whether we were system born and raised or wilderness born and raised, we need to locate those who are resonating on the same frequency and do life together. The Scripture does NOT teach forsake NOT going to church on Sunday. It says, forsake NOT what Yahweh is assembling...Selah! But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance] So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking [to you now]. For if they [the Israelites] did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him Who warned and divinely instructed them [here] on earth [revealing with heavenly warnings His will], how much less shall we escape if we reject and turn our backs on Him Who cautions and admonishes [us] from heaven? Then [at Mount Sinai] His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the [starry] heavens. Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can be] shaken–that is, of that which has been created–in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; For our God [is indeed] a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:22‭-‬29 AMPC Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself, the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. Ephesians 2:19‭-‬21 AMPC
