Evaluating Excellence of the work of the ministry.
The work of the Ministry must be a work that strives to Excellence in all things. While this is a lifelong pursuit, it is reasonable for all within a work to have expectations and standards for the house to which they belong that are based squarely on the holy scripture and uncompromising in declaration.
As we follow Messiah Yahusha, KING of all Glory and Cohen HaGadol, High Priest after the Order of Melchi-Zadok, we are a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation. A peculiar people that should show forth the praises of HIM who hath called us out of darkness into HIS marvelous light.
We ask all these questions first of ourselves … as we humble ourselves before Yahuah Tzeva’ot to remember the simplicity of our call and never think ourselves higher than we aught to think but soberly.
We ask these questions in reviewing to see what work is done of Yahuah and what is done by the ego of man, the wicked spirits of deceivers, and those who oppose Messiah and the Kingdom of Elohim.
We apply these standards to review if what we are beholding is authentic authorized work sanctioned and established by Yahusha … or something else.

The Red Heifer At NewKingdom
Numbers 19:1-9 “And יהוה spake unto Moshe and unto Aaron, saying,
This is the ordinance of the torah which יהוה hath commanded, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yashar’el, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Yashar’el for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.”
