The following is a list of precepts and principles that were taught to us by the Messiah Yahushua. Some of these commands are taken from lessons He gave us from parables, others are summaries of teachings He gave us that, while they were not necessarily direct commands, they were expressions of Yahweh’s will that we all must be willing to heed.

50. Be willing to give up all earthly things to obtain the Kingdom riches. (Matt.13:44-46) Part 14

101. When sharing Yahweh’s Word (seed) with others, remember that you can only care for Yahweh’s garden by sowing seeds, watering and caring for the plant (person). Be loving and patient, for you can’t make the seed grow into a fruitful plant, only Yahweh can make it grow. (Mark 4:26-29) Part 27

102. When doing ministry, make sure that you set aside some time to rest and recuperate. (Mark 6:31-32) Part 27

106. Observe the Sabbath in such a way that manifests the truth that the Sabbath was made for man rather than man being made for the Sabbath. (Luke 2:27-28) Part 28

110. When serving in ministry, don’t allow your serving to be a distraction away from the one thing that’s most needed: Being regularly fed by the word of Yahweh. Don’t fail to give attention to reading. (Luke 10:40) Part 28

111. Take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. In whatever good thing that you are doing, it must be from a love for Yahweh and man, or it is nothing. (Luke 11:35) Part 29

112. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. (Luke 12:1) Part 29

113. Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. (Luke 12:15) Part 29

114. Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Part 30

115. If you have possessions keeping you from putting Yahweh first, sell it and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.

117. When judgment appears to fall on sinners, don’t be high minded. Instead, be sure that you are bearing the fruits of repentance yourself. Sometimes Yahweh judges sinners to be a wakeup call for others who need to repent. (Luke 13:1-5) Part 30

118. Yahweh is very patient, but He does have a limit to the number of times He will try to call a person to repentance and faith in Yahushua, or allow one who claims to be a believer to not bear fruit. Hear His call. You don’t know if He will call you again later in life. (Luke 13:24-30) Part 30

119. Don’t exalt yourself in group settings, assuming too much for yourself. Be humble and allow others to take the best seat. (Luke 14:11) Part 30

120. Look for opportunities to bless those who are at a disadvantage, such as inviting the poor, the disabled, the fatherless or widow to dinner. They cannot repay, but Yahweh will repay you at the resurrection of the just. (Luke 14:12-14) Part 30

121. Don’t allow distractions in your life to pull you away from what’s really important: Being sure that you are zealous for Yahweh’s Spiritual food, spending time with Him, and being about our Father’s business. This will show Him that you truly want to be at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, no excuses. (Luke 14:15-22) Part 30

122. Don’t just listen to Yahushua’s teachings, become the salt of the earth by following those teachings, considering what you may lose in this world when deciding to do so: Friends, family, possessions, and even your own life. (Luke 14:34-34) Part 31

123. Once we have confessed our sins and expressed a heart of contrition and brokenness over them, remember that we have expressed the kind of heart that Yahweh says He will save. Let Him revive your heart and give you the joy of salvation rather than remaining in that condition forever, lest you grow faint. Let the joy of Yahweh is your strength! (Luke 15) Part 31

124. The law and prophets prophesied the Kingdom of Elohim would come. Once John the Baptist came, it was established by one’s free will to receive Yahushua as King and walk as He walked, not by force or violence. Live your life accordingly. (Luke 16:16) Part 31

125. Remember that wealth is not always a blessing, for it can lead to a self-centered lifestyle where we do not care to hear the scriptures and the testimony of Yahushua. (Luke 16:19-31) Part 31

126. When you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ (Luke 17:7-10) Part 31

127. We can cry out for mercy when we are in difficult circumstances, but in everything we must give thanks. And if we are delivered, glorify Elohim with thanksgiving, continuing to follow Yahushua…even if no one else does. (Luke 17:38-43) Part 32

128. In faith, cry out day and night if you desire Yahweh to avenge and bring justice on your behalf. He will avenge you speedily. (Luke 18:1-8) Part 32

129. When you pray, come to Him in humility and genuine repentance for any sins you have committed rather than pridefully recalling your good deeds, and never compare your righteousness to others in your prayer. (Luke 18:9-14) Part 32

130. Show love to sinners rather than scowling at them from a high perch. Your kindness, love and grace can demonstrate what Yahushua has done for you, and may even save their soul. (Luke 19:1-10) Part 32

131. When repenting, let Yahweh lead you in how to bring forth the fruits of repentance. Sometimes that may involve practicing the opposite behavior of what you were doing before, at levels that may not be required of others. Doing this may even help you overcome. (Luke 19:8-10) Part 32

132. If you are in a position of leadership, focus on serving others by meeting their needs and setting an example of what you expect of them rather than sitting back and just firing off orders, expecting to be served. (Luke 22:24-27) Part 32

133. Believe in Yahushua’s death and resurrection and you will be born of the water and Spirit, inheriting eternal life. He will give you the Holy Spirit to live a Spirit-filled life of keeping His commandments, leading you to the ultimate rebirth at your resurrection: an incorruptible Spiritual body. (John 3:3) Part 33

134. To worship Yahweh in Spirit and truth, receive Yahushua the Messiah to receive the Holy Spirit, and then walk in the Spirit by pursuing obedience to the Word, the Torah of Yahweh. (John 4:23-24) Part 34

135. Yahweh the Father gave Yahushua the ability to have life in Himself, give life to whom He will, committed all judgment to the Son, is one with the Father, and did many mighty works in Him. Honor Yahushua, even as you honor the Father. If anyone doesn’t honor the Son, he fails to honor the Father who sent Him. Part 34

136. Do more than just search the Scriptures to find truth. Come to Yahushua with a true and loyal heart toward Yahweh so that you might have life. (John 5:39) Part 35

137. Make sure that you aren’t following “another Yahushua” by living differently than He lived. (John 5:43) Part 35

138. When sharing the Word, let it be from Yahweh’s oracles rather than from yourself, so that He is glorified rather than man. (John 7:16-18) Part 35

139. Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. (John 7:24) Part 35

140. If anyone spiritually thirsts, come to Yahushua and drink, calling upon the name of Yahweh. Then with joy you will drink of His Spirit from the wells of salvation, and you will rejoice. (John 7:37-39, Isaiah 12:2-6) Part 36

141. Abide in Yahushua’s words by walking as He walked and putting your trust in Him for the forgiveness of sin. Then the truth will set you free through Yahushua the Messiah. (John 8:31-36) Part 36

142. If you want to know the truth and understand Yahushua’s words, you must walk in righteousness rather than a spirit of slander/murder. (John 8:37-45) Part 36

143. Never put confidence in your physical heritage, the flesh, as having any bearing on whether you are accepted by Yahweh or not. We all need to walk the Yahushua walk. (John 8:33-40) Part 36

144. Beware of hireling or self-serving pastors and wolves in sheep’s clothing who in any way disregard even one scripture, whether it be in the “Old Testament” or New Testament.” Yahushua’s sheep hear His voice in the holy scriptures, recognize His loving and protective leadership style in the Spirit, and follow. (John 10:1-16) Part 37

145. If you are called to be a Pastor/Shepherd, never allow money or personal benefit to be a motivator. Imitate the Good Shepherd by serving them, protecting them from spiritual wolves, and sharing the words of the Good Shepherd, thus feeding the flock with good spiritual food (Genesis to Revelation). (John 10:12-15; 21:15-17) Part 37

146. Prior to partaking of Yahushua at Passover, wash one another’s feet, for Messiah said, “I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” (John 13:15) Part 38

147. Love one another as Yahushua loves us, then all will know that we are His disciples. (John 13:34-35) Part 38

148. If you fall into some kind of serious sin, do not become bitter against yourself, allowing your heart to remain troubled and embittered. Repent, believe in Yahushua, and He will prepare a place for you–that you may be with Him forever. (John 14:1-4) Part 38

149. Abide in Yahushua and show love to Him and our Heavenly Father by keeping His commandments, then you will be loved by Yahweh the Father, He will send you His Spirit, and He and the Messiah Yahushua will make you their home. (John 14:15-15:14) Part 39

150. Receive the peace (shalom) that comes through Yahushua by choosing thanksgiving and faith in His Word rather than fear, love rather than division, trusting in Him for the forgiveness of sin, setting our minds on spiritual things, loving and heeding His commandments, and knowing that Yahushua has already overcome the world. (John 14:25-27; 16:33, Romans 8:6-7, Philippians 4:6-7, 2 Peter 3:13-14, Psalm 4:6-8; 119:165, Isaiah 26:34; 48:17-18) Part 39

151. Prayers should go to the Father in Yahushua’s Name, but it is permissible to talk to Yahushua. He lives in you. (John 14:14; 16:22-23. Psalm 45:6-7, Acts 7:59-60, Acts 9:3-21) Part 40

152. If the world hates you, know that it hated Yahushua before it hated you. But because you were chosen out of the world, and because of His name, the world hates you. (John 15:18-21) Part 40

153. If you keep Yahushua’s words/commands, you must keep the words/commands of His disciples also. (Luke 16:10:16; John 15:20) Part 40

154. Seek oneness the Father, so that Yahushua’s desire for us to have oneness with one another will come. (John 17:20-21) Part 40

155. Walk as Yahushua walked by declaring the written and spoken name of Yahweh. (John 17:6,26) Part 40

156. Remember that no one can harm us unless Yahweh allows it. He will use it for our benefit, and His glory in the end. (John 19:10-11) Part 40

157. Focus not on when Yahushua will return, for the Father has put that in His own authority. Focus on being a witnesses for Yahushua to all the world and living as He called us to live when it does. (Acts 1:7-8) Part 40

158. Remember to not take it so personally when you are being persecuted for your faith and obedience, for they are actually persecuting Yahushua. You are members of His body, of His flesh and bones. (Acts 9:5) Part 40

159. Don’t neglect to evangelize people that you assume are too evil (unclean) to be saved. (Acts 10:1-11:19) Part 40

160. Remember the words of Yahushua, “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) Part 40
