The Faith Once Delivered:
6th Day, 12th Month
24 February 5786 (6026)/2026
Description: In the first century, there were many who believed they were living life obediently unto Elohim and that they were already in His favor. Yet we see a constant theme of dire warning run throughout HaMashiach Yeshua’s teachings. And it seems like we desperately need these same warnings today as there are so many ministries teaching things contrary to Scripture (both the Tanach and the Brit Chadasha).
We receive many letters and comments. We appreciate the feedback from our viewers, which helps us to further understand where our people are as a body. The majority of our people have not yet come to full understanding as to what is THE FAITH once delivered to the set-apart ones, and what it means to be diligently contending for it, (Jude 1:3). We also know that Yeshua indicated that THE FAITH will be so rare, that He questioned whether it would even exist on earth at the time of His return. (Luke 18:8)
In this presentation, Norman highlights some viewer comments, letters, and questions in order to help our people understand what Scripture requires to be part of the coming Kingdom. We hope this study helps expose (very common, very dangerous) doctrines that still circulate among our people, and to help guide our people to fully commit unto Yahweh Elohim and His Kingdom work. May He please want it for our people to hear His words.
In Yeshua HaMashiach, amein.
Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:13-14
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
14 “Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

The supermarket of faith!
(Thank you for your comment, sister.)
“Shalom, brother Norman, and the whole team. the format is not important , it’s always very enlightening and interesting. The work involved is enormous to be able to share it with us. Thank you for that… I think the problem isn’t with you, but with us. We’re always flitting from place to place (The internet supermarket of faith!) The problem is a lack of loyalty… We should stay on a chain … Shalom 🙏”

Is there a need to build the Kingdom?
“From the studies we have done in scripture, in order for us to be in the kingdom, it is all summed up in Revelation 14:12: “Here is the patience of the saints: Here are they that keep the commandments of Yahweh and the faith of Yeshua.” That is it.
[Are you truly keeping His commandments?]
[Ephesians 2, 4, Titus 1:5?]
“…The New Jerusalem will be presented to Yeshua as his bride after the Millennium and this will be his kingdom on the new earth. (Based on Revelation 21). We don’t need to create his Kingdom…the saints are his kingdom when it descends from heaven.
Chazon (Revelation) 21:2
2 Then I, Yochanan, saw the set-apart city, Renewed Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.Mattityahu (Matthew) 6:9-10
9 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, set Your name apart.
10 “Your kingdom come. Your will be done On [this] earth as it is in heaven.”Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Adon, Adon,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Adon, Adon, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:21-23
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice Torahlessness!’Ma’asei (Acts) 1:6-7
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Adon, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.Ma’asei (Acts) 1:8
8 But you shall receive power when the Set-apart Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Letter Writer Number #3:
Is the Torah too difficult to keep?
Do we omit Torah in order to keep ‘a’ faith alone?
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 30:11-12
11 “For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’Devarim (Deuteronomy) 30:13-14
13 “Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
14 “But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.”
“Christ did so alone and then after doing so.also [sic] took the blood penelty [sic] for every broken law and took on the full wrath of the Father…
“It is impossible to please God with out faith. Faith in the Almighty’s gift of salvation and His taking our place is the only way to enter the kingdom of Heaven. If one law is broken the penelty [sic] is death. The Judgement isnthe [sic] second death. With out the payment of Christ’s gift of salvation none may see God.
Isaiah said, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.” Even his words were sinful. Who can es [sic] except those who cape [sic] the wrath of God if but by faith in the eternal gift of Grace through His Son Jesus Christ. For how was Abraham justified but by faith.
Ivrim (Hebrews) 11:7
7 By faith Noach, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with righteous fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.Yaakov (James) 2:18
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.Romim (Romans) 2:13
13 …(for not the hearers of the Torah are just in the sight of Elohim, but the doers of the Torah will be justified…Yaakov (James) 1:22
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Qorintim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 15:24-25
24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to Elohim the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.
25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.Ephesim (Ephesians) 2:20-22
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yeshua HaMashiach Himself being the chief cornerstone,
21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a set-apart temple in Yahweh,
22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of Elohim in the Spirit.
Hypocrisy 101:
- Sunday Christianity: NONE of the Torah applies, except for tithing, leadership, organization, and (in some cases), discipline. (Deception.)
- Messianism: ALL the Torah applies, except for tithing, leadership, organization, and (in some cases) discipline. (Is that a deception?)

(We need genuine servants, not requests to violate Scripture)
“I have been keeping the feast and the sabbath for more than 20 years now. Through The almighty Yahweh’s grace and direction, we have registered and started a small discipleship ministry, [Name Withheld] and we are bent on seeking affiliation with NI officially.

“However, I became more certain to join the NI Team when our brother and former presenter [Name Withheld] left. I had the strong urge to contact you when in November 2024, Apostle Norman made comment about having someone to take up that responsibility so that he could attend to more important and pressing issues.
“I am ready to offer my services to the NI Team in any capacity to help build our master YAHSUAH’s Kingdom. I am preparing to visit NI in Columbia if there’s an opportunity. Thank you for the support and encouragement. Stay Blessed.”
Luqa (Luke) 14:9-11
9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.
11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Ma’asei (Acts) 15:5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and [then] to command them to [afterward] keep the Torah of Moshe.” [Rabbinic Giur Process.]
6 Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.Ma’asei (Acts) 15:13 And after they had become silent, Yaakov answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
14 “Shimon has declared how Elohim at the first visited the Gentiles [Joseph, Ephraim] to take out of them a people for His name.
15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:Ma’asei (Acts) 15:16 ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the Tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up;
