The Church Who Lost Its Way
The Declined Vs. The Acts Blueprint Church In Our Times!
The early Church, from 30 to 90 AD, was a tight-knit community, a family, a body of believers in Messiah. However, when it moved to Greece in 300 AD, it became more of a philosophy than a community. This was the first decline away from the original foundation!
Later, in 400 AD, in Rome, it became an institution. Another decline away from the church's original former foundation. From there, it morphed into a culture in Europe. Again, the church descended from the early church model.
By 1500 AD the church in Europe became a "Culture. That meant that if you had a nationality where Christianity was among, you had to be included regardless of your faith!
Finally, Christianity come to America. We had the First Awakening and the Second, however after that, in the 70's the church taught leadership to make your curch into a business! Today, in America, it has become a triving business.
The morphing in each centuries influence tells us the story of how much we have lost from the original church, which was given by Yahshua Jesus who gave to the Apostles in the structure of the Book of Acts.
The Church has gone through many morphings over the years and the model of the Acts Blueprint has been disgarded, so we must consider how much these have strayed from their roots.
From being a family, a body, a community [which should our example today], it's now become a shell of its former self; a prostitute of from its orginal beauty as the Bride of Messiah, but these have sold out, selling-out their own God called identity; off track. It's time to take a hard look at these changes and reflect on how far they have gone in their errors.
If you did not known by now, the modern church is having a "CULTURE" problem! "We must not measure by the cloth but by the ruler," we only have one ruler, the Word of God!" said William Tyndale.
Before we endorse people's views of opinion about these churches who have woulded off, we must ask ourselves this hard question; "What is being done about the decining drift of the Church which is not changing her present day cource? I am speaking dirrectly to churches who have lost their way, and these statements are not universal ones, but still nessarry to speak and awake thises how are spiritual blind. At Way Of The Master Yahshua it is time for you to awaken and embrace the Acts Blueprint and gain what God has set as a template by His Holy Spirit!
As "Moshiachian" (Hebrew believers in Yahshua as Messiah) and Anointedian (Christian believers in Yahshua as Adonai), we come together as One New Man through Yahshua Messiah, as emphasized in Acts 11:26. This profound unity calls us to actively follow Yahshua/Jesus as our "MASTER," dedicating our lives to embodying His teachings and example. Our journey is rooted in the transformative relationship we have with Yahshua, which makes us one with Him and with each other. By cherishing His teachings and commandments in our hearts, we strive to live out our faith with authenticity, reflecting His character in our daily lives. This calling is made possible because Yahshua has sent His Holy Spirit into our hearts, equipping us to live according to His will. Throughout the Gospels, Yahshua not only lived out His divine purpose but also provided a blueprint for our lives. His teachings, further illuminated by His Disciple-Apostles in the Epistles, guide us in understanding how to navigate the complexities of modern life. We are committed to syncing our lives with the head of the church, allowing His Spirit to be our Senior Partner, leading us each day in our spiritual journey. As we abide in communion with Him, we receive the life-giving empowerment of His Spirit, which inspires us to act with purpose and integrity. The book of Acts serves as a vital reference, illustrating the dynamics of the early church and providing insights into how we can embody that same spirit of community and mission today. By engaging in this fellowship, we become agents of change—Globe Changers—equipped to fulfill His Great Commission and share His love with the world. In addition to this journey, we invite you to explore an alternative path with us at Way Of The Master Yahshua & Tent Of Meeting Fellowship. Here, we seek to nurture and empower Moshiachian, Anointedian, and Christian believers alike, fostering a community committed to growing in faith and living out the teachings of Yahshua. Together, we can deepen our understanding, strengthen our bonds, and impact our world for the sake of His Kingdom!
In contrast, We have giving you an alternative here at Way Of Ther Master Yahshua & Tent Of Meeting Fellowship to live lives becoming a [Moshiachian] [Anointedian] [Christian] Believers!

THE HISTORICAL OF WATER BAPTISM! - Part One
Doctrinal Outline: The Transformative Power of Water Baptism
I. Foundational Truth: Baptism as More Than Symbol
Water baptism, far from being a mere symbolic gesture, holds profound spiritual significance. It's a pivotal moment in the believer's journey, rooted in the very fabric of creation and redemption. Consider Genesis 1:2, where the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. This imagery sets the stage, as baptismal waters echo the creation, where the Spirit prepares for new life. Then, in Romans 6:3–4, we learn that baptism signifies a spiritual death and resurrection, a transformative experience, not just a ritual.
II. Death of the Old Man and Resurrection in Messiah
Baptism isn't just a dip in the water; it's a complete transformation. In Romans 6:6–7, we find that our old selves were crucified, freeing us from the bondage of sin. Colossians 2:12 further emphasizes this, highlighting that we are buried with Christ in baptism and raised with Him through faith. And, in Galatians 3:27, it's clear: when we are baptized into Christ, we put on Christ. Baptism, therefore, represents the death of the old self and the birth of a new creation in Christ.
III. Deliverance from Demonic Strongholds
Baptism serves as a powerful tool for spiritual liberation. Acts 22:16 encourages us to be baptized to wash away our sins, and 1 Peter 3:21 states that baptism now saves us. Moreover, Mark 16:17 highlights that believers, empowered by Christ's name, will drive out demons. This act of dying with Christ severs demonic legal rights, while resurrection in Him fills the void with divine presence.
IV. Infilling of the Holy Spirit and Heavenly Language
The Holy Spirit's presence is a crucial aspect of the baptismal experience. Acts 2:38 tells us to repent, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 10:44–48, we see that Gentiles received the Spirit and spoke in tongues before water baptism, which affirms its connection. Similarly, Acts 19:5–6 shows that being baptized in Christ's name is followed by being filled with the Spirit and speaking in tongues. Baptism, therefore, opens the door for Spirit baptism, overflowing with divine utterance and empowerment.
V. Healing and Restoration: Shalom in the Waters
Baptism also acts as a gateway to healing and restoration. Isaiah 53:5 reminds us that by Christ's stripes, we are healed. The healing in the pool of Bethesda, described in John 5:4–9, foreshadows the restoration that comes through baptism. Titus 3:5 confirms that we are saved through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Baptism thus becomes a portal for healing—body, soul, and spirit—ushering in divine wholeness.
VI. Early Church Fathers on Baptismal Power
The early Church Fathers understood and affirmed the transformative power of baptism.
Justin Martyr (First Apology 61): Viewed baptism as regeneration and entry into the kingdom.
Tertullian (On Baptism 1, 12): Believed that salvation is unattainable without baptism, which washes away blindness and sets free.
Hippolytus (Homilies 11:26): Stated that baptism extinguishes the fire and changes one’s birth into salvation.
Cyril of Jerusalem: Taught that baptism brings illumination, forgiveness, and the indwelling of the Spirit.
Gregory of Nyssa: Saw baptism as mystical participation in Christ’s death and resurrection.
The Fathers considered baptism a sacramental gateway to regeneration, deliverance, and Spirit empowerment, not just a symbol.
VII. Doctrinal Summary
Water baptism, therefore, is:
A burial of the old self and resurrection in Christ.
A moment of deliverance from demonic bondage.
An opportunity to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
A gateway to healing and restoration.
Early Church Fathers on Baptism: Key Teachings - Part 2
The early Church Fathers, influential theologians and leaders from the first few centuries of Christianity, held baptism in high regard. Their writings provide valuable insights into the significance and practices surrounding this central Christian sacrament. Here’s a look at their key teachings, broken down for easy understanding.
I. Baptism as Regeneration and New Birth
One of the primary themes emphasized by the early Church Fathers was baptism as a means of spiritual rebirth. They saw it as the moment a person entered into a new life in Christ.
-
Justin Martyr (c. AD 151), in his First Apology, highlighted that baptism is the gateway to spiritual rebirth. He connected the act of being washed with water to Jesus' teaching that one must be "born again" to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
-
Irenaeus of Lyon (c. AD 190) further elaborated on this idea, describing baptism as a cleansing ritual that leads to spiritual regeneration. He stated that through baptism, individuals are "spiritually regenerated as new-born babes," signifying a fresh start in their faith.
II. Forgiveness of Sins and Salvation
The Church Fathers consistently linked baptism with the forgiveness of sins and the attainment of salvation. They believed it was a crucial step in the journey of faith.
-
Tertullian (c. AD 205), in his work On Baptism, clearly stated that "without baptism, salvation is attainable by no one." He saw baptism as essential for receiving God's grace and the remission of sins.
-
Origen (c. AD 250), in his Commentary on Romans, addressed the practice of baptizing infants. He explained that baptism removes the "innate stains of sins," indicating that it was a practice for all ages, not just adults.
-
Cyril of Jerusalem (c. AD 350) described baptism as a "bath of sanctification, a spiritual rebirth," emphasizing both the cleansing aspect and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
III. Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance
The early Church Fathers also viewed baptism as a spiritual act that involved warfare against evil and deliverance from its influence.
-
The Shepherd of Hermas (c. AD 95–140) used vivid imagery to describe baptism, stating that individuals "descend into the water dead, and they arise alive." This suggests a symbolic death of the old self and resurrection into a new spiritual life, implying deliverance from the bondage of sin and darkness.
-
Gregory of Nyssa (c. AD 394) connected baptism to the death and resurrection of Christ, viewing it as a mystical act that breaks the power of sin and darkness in a person's life.
IV. Reception of the Holy Spirit
Another significant aspect of the early Church Fathers' teachings was the connection between baptism and the reception of the Holy Spirit.
-
Hippolytus (c. AD 215), in his Apostolic Tradition, described the practice of laying hands on the baptized person after baptism to receive the Holy Spirit. This practice highlights the close link between baptism and the experience of the Spirit.
-
Ambrose of Milan (c. AD 387), in his work On the Mysteries, emphasized the transformative nature of baptism, stating that through it, one is "washed, sanctified, and justified," and the Spirit comes upon them.
V. Unified Doctrine Across the Fathers
Despite the diverse backgrounds and locations of the Church Fathers, their teachings on baptism were remarkably consistent. They all agreed on the following key points:
- Baptism is necessary for salvation.
- It cleanses sin and initiates new life.
- It brings the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts.
- It marks deliverance from demonic oppression.
- It is a mystical participation in Christ’s death and resurrection.
In conclusion, the early Church Fathers saw baptism as a central and transformative practice. They understood it as a means of spiritual rebirth, forgiveness of sins, participation in Christ's death and resurrection, reception of the Holy Spirit, and deliverance from evil. Their teachings continue to shape the understanding and practice of baptism in many Christian traditions today.

BECOMING SENSITIVE TO HIS PROPHETIC LIGHT!
In May 1994, my wife and I were invited to lead worship for a new start-up church in Jennings, Missouri. She played the keyboard while we both sang and guided the congregation into the presence of the Spirit. As the worship concluded, there was a Holy silence that swept over the room, we felt a powerful spiritual presence in the atmosphere. My wife remained at the piano as I moved forward to the front. The pastor, seated across the stage, witnessed a flash of light that struck my temple. He immediately asked if I had seen this phenomenon, and I confirmed I had. Several attendees also observed the event and they were in awe. In that moment, I felt the Lord's Spirit strongly move through me, and prophetic words flowed from me like a powerfull river. Although I had received prophetic messages before, this experience was especially profound. I have seen the presence of the All-Mighty God within the church and as He moves, it is very important not to quench Him and the supernatural word he is coming to bring us in our needs. What I have written here is normal according to heaven and we must be sensitive to what He wants to deliver. If we are not careful, many of those who need Him could get passed by and their need delayed. If we pray often, we can develop a spiritual sensitivity that many churches overlook... May we always welcome Him to usher in the very things that we need in every gathering!

The Prophecy of the Wall: Germany, 1989
In 1989, Germany was enveloped in a spiritual atmosphere that felt impenetrable, making evangelism a formidable task. The religious stronghold seemed to prevent many from experiencing the profound and personal relationship with YHWH [God]. It was during this time that Shepherd Lambur was called upon to aid a couple, Jesse and Linda, who had returned to the United States feeling defeated after their missionary efforts in Germany. The weight of what they perceived as failure cast a shadow over their spirits, leading them to consider abandoning their ministry entirely.
A Divine Encounter
One day, in a rented Salvation Army church, Jesse and Linda sat in the front row under a cloud of discouragement. Shepherd Lambur and his wife, seated towards the back, were unaware of the couple's struggles. Yet, the Spirit of Adonai spoke to Shepherd, urging him to approach the front row with a message for someone. Unsure of what to say, Shepherd trusted the guidance of Yahshua, who promised to provide the words as he walked.
Upon reaching Jesse and Linda, Shepherd delivered the Lord’s message. He inquired about their ministry, and their expressions of sadness revealed the depth of their despair. Shepherd then shared, “Jesse and Linda, I have a word for you from the Lord!” Their attention piqued, he continued: “The Lord says you will go back to Germany because something is happening there.” They listened intently, filled with a mixture of wonder and hope. Shepherd assured them, “What you experienced there is going to change, and you will be caught up in your ministry; you will barely be able to keep up with what is going to happen!”
A Prophecy Fulfilled
Overwhelmed with joy and anticipation, Jesse and Linda contemplated the possibility of such a transformation. Could it truly be? With renewed faith, they returned to Germany, as Shepherd had urged.
In the fall of 1989, a monumental event unfolded—the Berlin Wall came down. This historic moment ushered in a flood of new opportunities for Jesse and Linda’s ministry. They witnessed more salvations than they could have ever imagined, fulfilling the prophecy spoken by Shepherd. The couple returned home with pieces of the wall, a tangible reminder of Elohim's miraculous work—something they would never forget.
A Testament to Faith
This testimony, shared by Shepherd Lambur, serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of faith and divine intervention. In the face of adversity and doubt, Jesse and Linda experienced a profound transformation, demonstrating that with trust in God; even the most daunting challenges can lead to unprecedented blessings. May YHWH be praised for the wonders He performs in the lives of those who believe!
A True Experence by Shepherd Lambur – be Blessed!
ACTS ATACK & The Last Reformation
Matthew 11:12
A GLORIOUS JOURNEY
Shepherd Lambur's inner spiritual mindset is for the church to be a missionary producer for the Kingdom. Like the Apostles, he himself has been focused to change the upside down world right side up!
For over 39 years, Shepherd Lambur has passionately dedicated his life to ordained ministry under His Chief Shepherd Yahshua, becoming a true visionary and "Forerunner" in the faith community through his remarkable missionary and prophetic gifts. His vibrant journey includes a rich background as a professional musician, songwriter, artist, and writer, where he has continually birthed teachings for the body of Messiah. With God at the helm of his life, Shepherd has also gained invaluable insights while working in management alongside three successful millionaires.
A BOUNTY OF IMPACT
Shepherd is the dynamic founder of "Break Free," a transformative deliverance ministry dedicated to helping the addicted, gathering twice a month to make a real difference. As a talented musician, producer, programer, psalmist, and band leader, he also serves as a Spiritual Father, nurturing and empowering a host of impactful leaders. A passionate Missionary/Pastor, Shepherd builds up the people of God around the globe, imparting profound insights that uplift and inspire. Remember, the church is the people—not the steeple! This belief fuels the vision of a "truly autonomous" church engaged in powerful outreach.
Shepherd is the driving force behind Acts Church @ way of the Master Yahshua.com, which is centered around the Acts Blueprint. He also hosts "The Enliven Factor" and the exhilarating new "Lion's Roar" podcast, where he delves into compelling topics discussed in the Tent of Meeting Fellowship meetup groups. His heart beats for birthing micro church gatherings across multiple regions, embodying the spirit of a true missionary.
A REFORMATION IS UNFOLDING TODAY!
Amidst the troubling decline of modern churches and their drift away from the core truths of God's word, we at Shepherd are excited to launch a Micro Church Network Hub. This initiative is rooted in the Acts Blueprint laid out in Scripture, seeking to illuminate our path through the guidance of Yahshua, represented by the Menorah. We walk in His light, embracing direct revelations from Adonai. Our commitment to the "Word" of YHWH-YAHSHUA as our "Living Oracle" defines our Tent of Meeting Fellowship. We are devoted followers of our generation, with open eyes and listening hearts. As we embrace this "Last Reformation," we recognize the vital need for alignment and correction in many areas. Our passion is for unity; we desire the body of Messiah to be one. We stand firm, praying earnestly for churches to align with the head of the church, Messiah Yahshua, and His divine agenda. With heavy hearts, we uphold the standard and boldly raise His banner for all to see!
SOMEONE MUST SPEAK UP FOR THE TRUTH OF GOD AND HIS CHURCH!!!
Divisions are not what we seek, yet when aligned with His true vision, division can spur necessary change. It allows God to reveal His will through a community of devoted listeners and followers eager to serve Him, which is truly commendable in His eyes. This division can inspire others to identify their shortcomings, prompting them to repent and realign with God’s will. I recall a mentor's wise words: "If God goes straight and the whole church goes south, I'm following Yahshua!"
BECOMING A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS!
Perspective:
The Puritans boldly addressed the church's decline and disobedience, striving for internal reform. When that didn’t yield the results they hoped for, many became separatists, aiming to revive beliefs and practices that had been overlooked. Throughout the years, various denominations have echoed this journey, working to reclaim the authentic teachings of our Master Yahshua and fulfill His mission in their time. Yahshua calls us to bear everlasting fruit, just as He guided His Apostles to do. Shepherd was actively involved in the Yahshua/Jesus People Revolution during its transformative years and has experienced genuine revival firsthand. Our participation in the Maranatha Ministries at Virginia Tech, led by notable figures such as Bob Weiner and Mario Murillo, along with Robert Baxter—who is now in France—has enriched our faith journey remarkably.
More Background
Shepherd Lambur brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to his ministry, with over ten years of dedicated ministerial studies, continually receiving insights from the Master. Unlike the typical two to three years spent in Bible colleges, Shepherd's background is truly remarkable. Ordained in 1989, he has collaborated with extraordinary men of God and has gained invaluable encouragement and guidance from notable figures such as Dr. Rayl, Pastor Melvin Parker, Apostle-Missionary John Henry Rampsoroop, Rabbi Harvey H. Smith, Prophet Steve Sampson, Pastor Joel Lamb, Prophet-Teacher David Crank Sr., Dr. Lester Sumrall, Mario Murillo, Dr. Roberts Liardon, and Apostle Keven Conner. Each of these mentors has played a significant role in affirming and strengthening Shepherd's ministry, and he is deeply grateful for the profound impact their teachings have had on his life.
In alignment with the powerful movements of Reformation, Awakening, and Revival that we are experiencing today, Shepherd had also receiving training from Mario Murillo. He attended the American Revival College in California, founded by the well-known evangelist and prophet, Mario Murillo. Throughout his journey, Shepherd has actively supported Murillo's impactful crusades, which take place under the largest tent in America, capable of accommodating up to 7,000 people.
Moreover, Shepherd has been engaged in similar missionary work in the United States as Torben Sondergaard and has followed his ministry from its inception. He is an integral part of our School of Acts training program! There are countless experiences waiting to be shared, and Shepherd is eager to elaborate as he ministers. He believes that we are witnessing the Last Reformation and the Third Great Awakening, marked by “Visitation” encounters.
Following these divine encounters, the call for revival transitions to “Habitation,” where both individuals and communities filled with the Spirit experience His presence. We are urged to earnestly pray for America’s salvation, recognizing the nation’s current challenges.
Discipleship is vital for spiritual growth, empowering believers to uncover their true identities as “Imagers” and Shining Ones,” as God originally intended in His garden. Discipleship transcends mere acquisition of knowledge; it invites us to become devoted apprentices, undergoing transformative training. The body of Messiah, as depicted in the Book of Acts, operates like “Foot Soldiers,” diligently spreading the Gospel and transforming their communities. Understanding one’s authentic identity in Messiah and the unique gifts He has bestowed is crucial for spiritual advancement. Now is the time to wholeheartedly embrace the vibrant life of a commissioned disciple of Messiah Yahshua!
YAHSHUA IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
