About Jack
Jack is from Seattle, Washington (USA), and has been a servant of the Lord since 1973. He accepted the Lord while in the midst of having a severe mental breakdown. When he accepted the Lord, he was immediately and completely delivered from that condition! He attended East Texas Bible College, Tyler, Texas in 1975, then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he meet his wife Pam in December, 1978, and they married in the spring 1979. Jack and his wife Pam have 3 beautiful adult children. Since becoming a Licensed Minister in 1983, he has held various roles including working in the ministry of helps, counseling troubled teens, Pastor to young adults and as a lead Pastor. After the recent Shemitah and Jubilee years, the Lord spoke a Rhema word to Jack saying: “Set your words in order before me; take your stand”. To that word, Jack answered “I will”. Knowing Isaiah 10:27 tells us; “It’s the anointing that breaks the yoke”, (the anointing is the fatness of the presence of God). Jack is now moving forward with a vision and mission of connecting the heart and the minds, in God’s children to to build the relationship between God and the believer. Jack is also putting forward the Lord’s message as recited in 3 John 1:2; “Beloved I pray above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”, remembering that all of God’s people are instructed in 1 Corinthians 10:24 to “Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth”. Jack has a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, (Magna Cum Laude) and has professionally worked in energy and real estate where he holds various professional credentials. Our prayer is that this ministry brings to all its friends “Blessings in the Name of the Lord Jesus/Yeshua”, and we pray according to Num. 6:24-27; “The LORD bless thee, and keep thee; The LORD make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace”. Selah (forever)!
The One New Man Life
2 Minute Torah presents highlights from portions of the current weekly teaching cycles in the Torah/Tanach and brings that word together with the New Covenant teachings of Jesus/Yeshua our Lord.
The Daily Cycle of praying the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9), the Shema Prayer (Deut. 6:4-9, et al, Deut. 11:13-21, Num. 15:37-41) and the Daily Study of God’s Word have been practiced by the Children of Israel for thousands of years. We believe “Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, having been fully equipped toward every good work” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
We pray that you are blessed by these teachings.
Our Vision And Statement Of Faith
Connecting the heart with the mind (Da’at) in the Children of God, sharing the message of salvation, and the desire of our good, good Father as told in, “3 John 1:2″.
JTM Statement of Faith
Jesus the Messiah
Yeshua/Jesus is Israel’s promised Messiah and the Redeemer of the entire human race. By His life, death and resurrection, Yeshua/Jesus fulfilled the messianic prophecies of the Old Covenant Scriptures related to Messiah’s first coming. Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, 49:6, 53:1-12; Psalms 16:9-11
The Bible
We believe the Bible, composed of the Old Testament, (Tenach), and the New Testament, (Brit Chadasha), are the only infallible and authoritative Word of God. The Bible is a revelation of the righteousness of God and a description of the lifestyle for the redeemed new covenant believer in the Lord. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Hebrews 4:2; Ephesians 6:17; Matthew 5:17-19
God Is One (Echad)
We believe God is Echad, as declared in the Shema, “a united one” or “compound unity” eternally existent in three persons. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 48:16-17; 1 John 5:7-13
Deity
We believe in the Deity of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), and that He is the “Seed of the woman” as God promised, and His virgin birth was to be a sign to Israel of His Messiahship. Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-23
Humanity and Sin
Men and women are created in the image of God, however because of disobedience; mankind fell from the first state and became separated from God. Therefore, according to the Scriptures, all humans are born with a sinful nature. Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17, 3:22-24; Psalm 14:1-3; 49:7; 53:13; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:9-12, 23, 5:12
Atonement and Grace
Our only hope for redemption (salvation) is through the atonement made by the Messiah, the shed sacrificial blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), and that regeneration by the Spirit of God is absolutely essential for personal salvation, which is the new birth. For by grace we are saved through faith, it is a gift of God. Leviticus 17:11; Isaiah 53; Daniel 9:24-26; I Corinthians 15:22; Hebrews 9:11-14, 28; John 1:12, 3:36, Titus 3:5; John 3:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9
Messiah Yeshua’s Life
We believe in Yeshua’s/Jesus’s sinless life, His miracles yesterday and today. We also believe in His vicarious and sacrificial death as our atonement, His bodily resurrection, His future return for His followers, both living and dead, and the future establishment of His Kingdom on Earth. Isaiah 53:8-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 9:6-7; 1 Corinthians 11:26; Zechariah 12:6-10; Zechariah 14:16-21
Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh)
We believe in the present ministry of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) by Whose indwelling the Believer is enabled to live a godly life. All the gifts and manifestations of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) are intended for the body of believers during this age. The atonement in Yeshua/Jesus includes both spiritual and physical healing. The blessings of obedience promised to the Children of Israel in the Mosaic Covenant are available to any believer under the New Covenant today. Jeremiah 31:31-34; John 14:15-17; Galatians 5:13-25; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5; Psalms 103:3
New Covenant Body
We believe the New Covenant body of the Lord is composed of both Jews and Gentiles that are now grafted in to the “olive tree”, by having accepted Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Messiah) as the promised Redeemer. All those believers are granted the privilege of having written upon their hearts, as participants of the New Covenant, God’s laws, and worship together in peace as one new man in Yeshua/Jesus. 1 Corinthians 12:13; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 2:14-16, 3:6, 5:30-32, 10-12; Romans 11:11-24; Jeremiah 31:33
