Living Water
Homestead of Faith Fellowship
Parson Rayphe

The "Church" is not a building, a business, or corporation . "The Church" is people; individuals and families that are in covenant;  Spiritually united with Yahweh God and each-other.  Unfortunately millennia of "religion" and now apostasy, joined with ecumenicalism, has caused things to become complicated for many of God's people in America. 

But
at Living Water Homestead of Faith we still hold tightly to the basic doctrines of the Christian Faith and the simple truths of the Bible.   At the core of Biblical Christianity is relationships / fellowship.  We see this clearly expressed by Yeshua in Matthew 22:36-39 when He was asked what was the greatest commandments of "The Law", The Torah or you might even say The Ten Commandments.  What was His answer?  Relationships;  Yeshua said to 1)Love Yahweh God with all that you are   and 2)Love your neighbor as yourself.  We see these principles clearly exemplified in Hebrew Roots of the Christian Faith to include Yeshua Himself, Moses and Abraham, the "Father of our Faith". 

Today Yahweh God is leading us back to a place of simplicity; a place of covenental relationship with Him and each other.  At Living Water Homestead of Faith we have created a number of ways for geographically diverse individuals, families and groups to network together.  And most importantly; we hold tightly to the fundamentals of Biblical faith and our covenants with Yahweh God and Yeshua the Messiah.


Living Water Homestead of Faith is a network of geographically dispersed individuals and families.  When possible,  these individuals and families unite together in home-groups that we refer to as Frontier Fellowships.

And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.  Acts 2:42,46,47

Participate in a

Frontier Fellowship

In Frontier Fellowships  participants provide day in and day out support, friendship, counsel and a host of other wonderful ways to help us all live life as we walk with The Most High God.  

As a result of our covenantal responsibilities; We place a strong emphasis on group unity,
family integrity, individual Righteousness and discipleship.  To this end Frontier Fellowships regularly gather in homes and other places on a regular basis for study, prayer and / or fellowship.  They also join together regionally with other Frontier Fellowships for Biblical Holidays, Camp Meetings, missions opportunities or other purposes.

"But where do you meet"?
Acts 2:46 says "they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their food with gladness and singleness of heart".

We American's have become so commercialized, so removed from reality,  we have moved so very far away from our roots, it is nearly impossible now for many to grasp the simplistic lifestyle that Yahweh God designed,  Israel lived, Yeshua encouraged and America enjoyed as she was carving a nation from a wild frontier. 

We do meet in buildings for various purposes as needs arise.  We simply purpose to remember that "the church" is people and not other things. 



And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:24-25

 

At Living Water Homestead of Faith; in Frontier Fellowships we don't "go to church" because we are the church.  Contact us today for  more information about how you can experience this "abundant life" that Yahweh God is offering you!    


  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:19-20

 

...Those, however, who are desirous of being Christians in earnest, and are ready to profess the Gospel with hand and mouth, should register their names and assemble by themselves in some house to pray, to read, to baptize and to receive the sacrament and practise other Christian works. In this Order, those whose conduct was not such as befits Christians could be recognized, reproved, reformed, rejected, or excommunicated, according to the rule of Christ in Matt. xviii. Here, too, a general giving of alms could be imposed on Christians, to be willingly given and divided among the poor, after the example of St. Paul in 2 Cor. ix. Here there would not be need of much fine singing. Here we could have baptism and the sacrament in short and simple fashion: and direct everything towards the Word and prayer and love. Here we should have a good short Catechism about the Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord’s Prayer. In one word, if we only had people who longed to be Christians in earnest, Form and Order would soon shape itself.     
Martin Luther

 

 
     

When home groups are properly executed with Biblical leadership, and a conscientiousness toward Righteousness for all, there is no better way to see Yahweh work through His people . We see this exemplified in Acts 2:46 where we read "they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their food with gladness and singleness of heart".  See also Rom. 16:5, 1 Cor 16:19, Col. 4:15, and Philemon 2.   

 

With a Biblical foundation,  Elders and Frontier Fellowship Group Leaders provide Godly servant leadership in a Bible based, safe, nonthreatening environment  for family restoration, health and healing in spirit, soul and body.  


We place a strong emphasis on unity, family integrity and discipleship.  What better way to follow the Biblical example before us with multiple families meeting together in homes with Godly leadership and mentors for those who are spiritually and physically younger?



In Frontier Fellowships we have witnessed the Spirit of Yahweh God move in powerful ways as He ministers to His people through prayer, physical and spiritual healings, break throughs, transformations and a host of other miraculous ways.  The testimonies and life changing benefits that are experienced while living life as part of a spirit filled Frontier Fellowship are greater than words can describe.  We have found no substitute.

Frontier Fellowships then are groups of like minded, like spirited people (individuals and families) who often communicate with each other daily;  faithfully supporting, helping and laboring with each other both physically and spiritually.    They are a place that all can exercise the giftings that Yahweh God has given each one of us by His Spirit.

Multiple Frontier Fellowships will sometimes gather together for various purposes such as Camp Meetings, Appointed Times and other occasions such as missions opportunities.

 
Evangelism and Discipleship

You shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8 


The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

 
Frontier  Fellowships are not exclusive groups; invite others to be a part of the fellowship so that they too can experience the freedom that Yahweh God has to offer.  Yeshua said to "Go and make disciples of ALL nations.  By this He clearly expressed that all people groups of all nations, tongues and skin colors are welcomed to enter into a loving relationship with Him.    Frontier Fellowships then make conscience, assertive efforts to call in Yahweh God's people who may have strayed from Him; or perhaps have never known the abundant life that only He has to offer.  Frontier Fellowships will often coordinate these activities within their own group.  Sometimes various Frontier Fellowship groups will unite as an envoy of Mountain Man Missions to help spread the good news of life and liberty.   

Frontier Fellowships then  provide a comfortable, nonthreatening way for people in all stages of their walk to grow in the ways of Yahweh God, strengthen their relationship with Him and, perhaps most importantly, to help others along their way as well.  Are you new to your "Frontier Fellowship"?  If so be sure to read our "Welcome To The Family" page for a quick jump start to help you along your way. 

While we encourage personal study, one on one discipleship and other forms of Bible study; Frontier Fellowships participate in our weekly study "The Word To Live By".  These are usually topical studies that pertain to pressing and life applicable subjects of the day. There is also an  online weekly Bible study forum available and other venues for staying connected as well for those who wish to partake.
  Join in; Be encouraged and edified as Yahweh God reveals Himself to us by His Word and Spirit as we meet together during His Appointed Times and other gatherings as well.    

Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Prov 22:6


We consider children to be our most valuable asset.  They are our legacy.  All through the Bible we see emphasis placed upon teaching the children the ways of righteousness.  After all; they are tomorrows leaders aren't they?  Frontier Fellowship groups welcome and encourage children to grow up learning the ways of Yahweh God.  How this is actually accomplished often depends upon the ages, gender, personalities and other factors of all involved.  Depending upon the number of children and their ages sometimes the children will have gatherings separate from the weekly Frontier Fellowship  gathering.  This allows the children their own opportunity to bond and discuss issues among themselves.  Sometimes as families unite the children just naturally initiate lifelong bonding relationships on their own. 

For the Frontier Fellowship gatherings themselves sometimes it is best to encourage children of all ages to participate in the discussions and fellowship.  It is incredible to see how much the little ones soak in during a meeting.   Again depending upon the number of children, their ages, capabilities, etc. sometimes(usually for a temporary period) it is better for them to have their own meeting running concurrently with the adults meeting in an adjacent room so that both groups can discuss age appropriate applications to the Biblical principles being discussed.  Whatever the case; it is important for the Living Water Homestead of Faith family to recognize and understand that bringing up the children is a responsibility that lies primarily with the parents but that we all share together.  There are many ways to accomplish this and we are here to support and encourage our children as we all work together.  Contact us here for information about a Frontier Fellowship group near near you.

You're Wanted

      Needed!

   

 

For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Cor 12:14


Surely we have all known someone, perhaps even ourselves, who was missing a physical body part.  And without question everyone of us has sprained a wrist or ankle, suffered a sliver in a finger, or perhaps a cut on a hand.  It seems that no matter how "minor" the disability is it can render a significant impact to our daily life; a constant reminder that something isn't right.   In the verse above (1 Cor. 12:14) Apostle Paul is trying to explain to the Corinthians that just as one's physical body works together; Yahweh's people, "the body of Messiah", is also designed to function in harmony as a unified "body".



"..we are members one of another".
Eph 4:25 



Paul goes on to say that, as a body, we should function as a body is designed to operate.  One part supports the other, another part performs functions that the other parts simply can't do, etc.  The Bible is full, over flowing, replete with Scriptures that illustrate this.  First Corintians chapter twelve explains this concept very well; however we read how Yahweh's people need each other all through the Bible. 

When things are going well it is easy for some to fool themselves into thinking they don't need anyone else.  However, when things don't go exactly as planned most of us are very thankful to receive, even just a little, assistance.  Some of us even have enough wisdom to understand that even though we can "get by just fine" by ourselves, most of the time,  life would be so much, much better if we had someone we could call to lend a helping hand when needed:  someone who would place their own plans secondary to anothers'  immediate needs. No matter how well things seem to be going they can go infinitely better when like spirited people unite together in harmony.

We just can't say strongly enough; YOU ARE NEEDED!! 


 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.  10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 
Eccl 4:9-10




Yahweh has given you giftings, insights and abilities.  You have talents, skills, knowledge and interests.  Brother / Sister be encouraged today! These attributes were given to you so that you would use them to edify Yahweh's people.  We need your help.  You have a purpose and you are desperately needed. Without you we are incomplete. 


Frontier Fellowships provide a venue for you to bless, encourage and help unite Yahweh's people in your area.
 

And, as part of the Living Water Homestead of Faith  Frontier Fellowship family, you have the added benefit of being connected, in a real way, with other like minded believers across the region in other Frontier Fellowships as well. 

Frontier Fellowships are a way for Yahweh's people to join together and function as a people the way He intended.  As this is read we pray you will answer the summons that He has placed on your life to unite with Yahweh's people and be all you can be in His purpose and calling for you. 


 
 

 ...if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Eccl 4:10


 

 
Methodist-Camp-Meeting1836.jpg
   

In the spirit of the  "Camp Meetings" of days gone by; multiple Frontier Fellowship home groups occasionally gather together in unity to experience the power of El' Shaddai as families are mended and people are healed!  Like the Frontier Fellowship gatherings; these precious times of unity are also often accompanied with  fellowship, food and fun as well; just more of it. 

One of the most cherished opportunities that multiple Frontier Fellowships utilize to unite is during the annual 
"Biblical Holy-days" (also known as "The Feasts or Appointed Times") as mentioned in Leviticus 23, Acts 18:21 and all throughout the Bible). What a blessed experience it is to meet with The Most High according to His schedule and His agenda!! 

 


Then they that feared Yahweh spake often one to another: and Yahweh hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared Yahweh, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:16

It was that good ole' American "can do" spirit of independence that helped to create America when the Black Regiment was called upon to help the founders of America.  It was that same spirit  that took settlers West into unknown, unchartered territories in which the Frontier Preachers and Circuit Riders sacrificed so much to serve.  It was that "can do" independent spirit that helped America become the God fearing nation that allowed it to be blessed and prosper so very much in such a short time. 

And now it is that same spirit of independence, which is held so dear by so many, that is working to separate Yahweh's people and to effect America's demise today.

Nonbelievers are independent minded and think they can do whatever they desire on their own accord.  On the other hand many "believers" "feel" that with Yahweh God "all things are possible".  They will just keep to themselves, "do their own thing" and perhaps help someone  that happens along their way and Yahweh God will bless them too.

bwclaytoncactus-121x150.jpg

Unfortunately neither are correct.  Those without Yahweh God often discover they are lost in a sea of issues.  However, believers who isolate themselves are lost as well, even though they may not think so.  The Scriptures are replete with admonitions and instructions for Yahweh's people to unite.  How can we help others if we refuse to get to know them? 

Sadly, many choose to deny these instructions thinking they have some sort of righteous reasoning that excludes them from being a part of the body of
Yeshua the MessiahWhen this happens everyone looses. 

 
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:22

The following Scripture verses, other similar verses presented within this page, and yet other Scripture passages throughout the entire Bible help us to understand that it is impossible to stay in relationship with Yahweh God and fulfill  His purpose for your life without uniting in unity with other believers when possible. 

 


Following are but a few of the many scriptural texts that
speak of how Yahweh's people are to live.


And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 
Acts 2:42,46,47

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:24-25

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Ps 133:1

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one for another
John 13:35



Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thess 5:11

 

A Part of the Whole

There are many wonderful benefits of participating in a Living Water Homestead of Faith Frontier Fellowship.  Not the least of which is while each group maintains it's own identity, and enjoys those special relationships that can only be found in smaller groups,  participants can also experience the support, resources, security and confidence of knowing that we are also part of the larger Living Water - Home Family.  Through various means such as newsletters, the Living Water Homestead of Faith forum, The Reformation Society, Reformation RangersMountain Man Missions, Be Ye Prepared coursesCamp MeetingsAppointed Times (Biblical Holy-days), Reformation Day Celebrations,  recreational activities (outdoor activities, picnics, etc.), and others;  we grow to know each other better.  We soon realize that as a Part of Living Water Homestead of Faith we are blessed to benefit from a large pool of talents and giftings (1st Corinthians 12)  of which we can all participate to form "one body" so that we might benefit each other and the Body of Messiah as a whole.  "Unity of the faith" is a part of the mission of Living Water Homestead of Faith and we purpose to accomplish this calling. 

Do you need a house sitter, plumbing advice, sewing help; or do you have specific concerns regarding a specific area of life such as raising children or other relationship issues?  Someone in the Living Water Homestead of Faith Family can probably offer some sort of assistance and we have purposely built into our "community"  methods to facilitate helping each other in these ways.  What a blessing it is to be part of a caring, supportive family of believers who unite and work together for the benefit of all.

We look forward to "living life" together in a Living Water Homestead of Faith Frontier Fellowship!
