THE LIVING GOD W h o i s YA H W E H ? S t r i c t l y speaking, YAHWEH is the only “NAME” of God. In Genesis, wherever the word “NAME” is associated with The Divine Being, that name is YAHWEH. When Abraham or Isaac built an altar, “he called on the name of YAHWEH” (Genesis 12:3, 13:4, 26:5). Reference: The New Bible Dictionary, by J. D. Douglas, page 478. “YAHWEH - The Covenant God of Israel, YHWH, in the Original Hebrew. According to Jewish custom, because of reverence, The Divine name was not to be spoken, so the words LORD and GOD were SUBSTITUTED. Whenever the words “LORD” AND “GOD” appear in LARGE and small CAPITAL letters, the ORIGINAL Hebrew reads YHWH (YAHWEH).” Reference: King James Version of the Bible by Thomas Nelson, Inc. “God’s self, His real person, is concentrated in His name. Unless God’s name is known, it is impossible to have a relationship with Him.” Reference: The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible, by Abingdon Press, Nashville, TN, page 408. “YAHWEH” is called the Divine Name and the Tetragrammaton, or four-letter word, because it has four letters in Hebrew (YHWH). Most Jewish people will not say

“Yahweh”. Instead, they say “HASHEM” —a Hebrew word that means “The Name”, or they say “Adonai” —the Hebrew word for “Lord”. Yahweh is also called The Ineffable Name, or The Unspeakable Name, but God’s Name is not unspeakable. According to Matthew Chapter 6 verse 9, which is the Lord’s Prayer Christ said: Matthew 6:9 King James Version (KJV) “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” Christ gave the ultimate reverence to this one name by conferring the name as Hallowed, which mean “holy”. This is the one name that Christ would come in - to be The Son of this great name -because the Father and Son are One. Since They are One, They must also have one name. Although the name YAHWEH in Hebrew is placed upon various temples across the world, such as the temple (North Yorkshire) shown in this picture, Yahweh’s Name does not appear (even once) in the text of the three most popular English Bible translations on the market today. The King James Bible, the New American Standard Bible, and the New International Version substitutes the titles “LORD” and “GOD” with capitalized letters in the place where God’s Name -

“YAHWEH” actually belongs - the ORIGINAL Hebrew reads YHWH (YAHWEH). Jewish religious leaders introduced this tradition in the mid-2nd century B.C., and it has continued since that time. This man-made tradition—which achieved near-universal acceptance in 1611 A.D. (when the King James Bible editors failed to include the Name “Yahweh” in their inaugural edition) — is wrong and dangerous for two reasons. First, it nullifies Yahweh’s explicit command to tell the world that we have only One God—YAHWEH. Second, according to the Bible, YAHWEH is the only name in which we have salvation. Most people that have taken on man’s religion have never heard the name YAHWEH or heard a preacher say it from the pulpit, but research shows that this is the only true name. Matthew 28:19 - King James Version (KJV) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father (YAHWEH), and of the Son (YAHWEH), and of the Holy Ghost (YAHWEH)” To learn more about Yahweh and the global family of peace visit our website: http:// www.cfycorporate.org and email us at info@cfycorporate.org.

“The Three are One”

Question...

Who is the author of the book that you have in your homes, offices, churches, hotels, courthouses, and that sits on the President’s desk of the United States of America -- The same book his hand was placed on when sworn into office? Have you ever considered WHO is the author of this worldrenowned book written in more languages than any other book in history? This book the Holy Bible is the world’s standard spiritual resource reference and has single handedly influenced more civilizations, world events, and personal lives than any other book in existence. How can a book of such magnitude have an author whose name is not openly recognized? Well, let’s see what the book has to say about his name. Psalms 148:13 “Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven.” What a powerful scripture here! The Author says His name alone is excellent. Well to any astute and sagacious student of the word I know a bell had to ring in your head. What is this excellent name? All who are intellectually honest will do their 2nd Timothy 2:15 which reads: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” I encourage all readers to go to your libraries search out this truth in the Random House dictionaries, Webster’s, Encarta, Oxford, Britannica Encyclopedias, Bible dictionaries and look this name up: YAHWEH. This is the Name that is excellent above all names and the scriptures bear

witness from Genesis through Revelation. Let us read 1st John 5:7: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” The word ONE denotes a single person or thing, in a state of unity or harmony, complete, whole, unified and married. Now let us reason together: How can The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost be ONE with different names? How can the three be in unity or in harmony with three different names? How can they be unified under different names? Even when a man and woman marry, they become ONE they share the same name. According to John 5:43 The Son - which is described as the Word - reads “I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” In John 14:26 The Holy Ghost has the same name as the Son and it reads “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” So here we have The Father’s name recorded as YAHWEH and the Son’s name is YAHWEH and the Holy Ghost name is YAHWEH which makes the THREE “ONE”: YAHWEH the Father YAHWEH The Son and YAHWEH the Holy Ghost.

Did You Know?

“God Lives within You” People have been taught to look up in the sky or in the Heavens for God, when actually He is much closer than most think! In the book of Jeremiah 23:23: “Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?” Question: Who is this God at hand, and what is His name? Proverbs 30:4 “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell?” According to the King James Ve r s i o n o f t h e B i b l e , dictionary section, published by Thomas Nelson, God’s name (according to the bible dictionary definition) reads: YAHWEH - The Covenant God of Israel, YHWH, in the Original Hebrew, According to Jewish custom, because of reverence, The Divine name was not to be spoken, so the words “LORD” and “GOD” were SUBSTITUTED. Whenever the words “LORD” and “GOD” appear in LARGE and small CAPITAL letters, the ORIGINAL Hebrew reads YHWH (YAHWEH). The fact that God lives in every human being should n o t b e a m y s t e r y. Researching several reference tools such as the Catholic Encyclopedia, Bibles Interpreter Dictionaries, Hebrew – Greek Key Study Bibles, and many

other reference tools, it becomes absolutely clear that God’s name is YAHWEH. Higher teachings in other religions such as Islam all lead up to a reference to God’s Essence, a title for His name, with the meaning as the title. The point is, regardless of what people choose to call God, it’s important to recognize that He lives inside of us. YAHWEH LIVES WITHIN YOU The Spirit of God lives in each and every person. 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God (YAHWEH), and that the Spirit of God (YAHWEH) dwelleth in you?” John 4:24 “God (YAHWEH) is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” Since God (YAHWEH) is a Spirit, and His Spirit dwells in you, then all the power of God is in you as well! John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God (YAHWEH), even to them that believe on His name (YAHWEH):” Luke 17:21 “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” The Kingdom of God within you is the temple in which the Spirit of God (YAHWEH) dwells! How does it make you feel to know that God loves you and is inside of you? This means every righteous desire of your heart shall be

given to you once you fully come to understand and become one with the Spirit that lives inside of you! As you become conscious of this unlimited source of divinity and laden power that exist within, you it will unlock all the keys of the universe. Creation of the air, sun, moon proves that God is unlimited. The process of reproduction where a child is conceived, developed in the womb, grows and constantly evolves in knowledge and understanding, proves that God is unlimited. Look in the mirror, and you will see a person that is unlimited. Automatically from birth, You have access to this unlimited self-realization now!!! It is not a fantasy, you really do have access to unlimited love, peace, health, prosperity and much more…. You are only limited to the limitations you place on your mind with your thoughts of doubt. You can change the world today and it all begins with you.

LIVING A DRAMA FREE LIFE

Written By YM Staff Some of the most beautiful people in the world are broken down in the mind - damaged goods that live a cycle of habitually repetitive sabotage of opportunities at business, friendship, and even marriage. Have you ever heard the phrase “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”? It has a Biblical base, representing the daily struggle of mind over matter. It is not a commonly known fact that people have the ability to control their mind. You have the ability to control your mind - wrap your mind around that one for a second. Controlling your mind is controlling the conduit to your thoughts. You have the ability to “let there be light” in your own mind and to refuse entrance to the dark thoughts. The world is saturated with people who have no thought of filtering out dark thoughts. Dark thoughts are the source of drama in this world. They start as seeds such as insecurity and disappointment with self, and grow into weeds of unrighteous jealousy, grudges, ego and control issues, and betrayal. They are presented by harsh words, immoral acts against others, and intentional sabotage, amongst other actions. These thoughts are also the source of habits such as alcohol and/or drug abuse, and led to heinous acts against self and others. Society is programmed to deal with the latter description with prisons - which seek to serve as a method of 16 | YAHWEHMAGAZINE.COM

Beautiful, but Broken behavior modification. To modify any behavior, one must examine the source of the behavior from inside out. An adulterous or promiscuous woman is typically insecure and has relationship issues because of her relationship with her father, or she follows the model example of the female figure in her life. How does one fix this issue? First, it is usually unknown that something is “broken” to the extent that is is - and it is attributed to external factors and other people. The root of the issue is the broken connection with the Creator, Whom lives inside of each and every person. As the connection is healed, individuals become more and more conscientious of their behavior and attitude towards others. Additionally, we become increasingly acutely sensitive to negative thoughts: those projected by others, and those that penetrate our own minds and cause us to make bad judgments, decisions, and take regrettable actions. We become more considerate of the feelings of others, and we also reflect heavily on the big picture: how our words and actions will shape the future of our relationships. Ultimately, mending our connection with the Creator inside of us enables us to take full control our mind, which dictates the discipline of our thoughts, and actions.

⏐ YM MUSIC ⏐ cece peniston

CeCe Peniston You sound happy. You sound like everything is just going great right now. Where are you from originally? Thank you, I’m from Dayton, Ohio. I was born there. My dad was in the military, so we used to move around a lot as children. My brother was born in Spain, my sister in Columbia. We’re all … one in North Carolina. We’re all from all over the place. Wherever the military decided to send him, then that’s where momma had us.

How did you get your first break? Actually, I was singing around Arizona a lot, doing these little karaoke contests. I would do talent shows. I did a feature on Marvelous JC’s album. Felipe Waxx Dawg set all that up. Actually Pooch, at the time, who was on the record label … A&M records … needed some backgrounds, and they asked me to come in and do it. The people from the record company heard it, loved my vocals and was like, “Who is that in the back, doing the damn thing? What’s she doing?” That’s when I got signed on with them.

Your hits, “Finally”, “I’m Not Over You”, “I’m Not in the Mood” , “Keep on Walking” – a lot of your music, are like house music. They were anthems. How did that come about? I had written the lyrics and melody to “Finally”. I came up with the lyrics, then I came up with the (singing). Then Waxx came in, and Waxx is from Chi; he’s from the Chicago area, him and R.K. They did the (music); they did that bass line that became so famous for “Finally”. After that, they had Eric Kupper and David Morales to do another mix, like piano mix, which did really well. I think a lot of the success of “Finally” was first of all what it was talking about. It was easy. If you met somebody, what would you say? “Damn, Finally.” It was easy. It was like bubble gum. It was like little kids … 3-yearold kids could sing it. It was easy, but yet I’m singing soulful on the record. I think that’s what kind of changed, because it wasn’t like, (singing). The mixture of the bass line and the beats per minute … Chicago had the beats per minute. 20 | YAHWEHMAGAZINE.COM

Everybody had that same little flow; Crystal Waters, Robin S. We’d all kind of came out and started a trend at that time. I think it was all those things that encompassed the success of it.

If you could close your eyes and go back in the studio working with those producers: What was that like? It was so exciting. For me, I just always knew what I wanted to do. I knew when I was thirteen years old. I told my mom, “I’m going to be a star one day. I’m going to be famous, mom”. She was like, “Go out and play. We aren’t trying to hear that. We hear you. Go ahead, baby. You’re dreaming big”. I always knew what I was going to do. For me, success was the only option. That’s just how I felt at the time. I was on a high. I knew what I was going to do. When God blessed me, I was surprised and happy and excited that it finally had happened. In my heart, I always knew who I was, when it came to music. It was just in my soul. Exciting, traveling the world; it was kind

⏐ YM MUSIC ⏐ cece peniston of scary at the time. I had never really been away from Arizona as a child, except to Disneyland with my parents, Magic Mountain; we’d go visit the family in Augusta, but it wasn’t like seeing the world, how I had seen it, away from the bubble of Arizona. Being on the East Coast, it’s a whole other energy. In a nutshell, it was lots of change.

I hear you dropped some singles recently. What are you working on now? Yeah, I definitely have dropped a couple singles, but I don’t think they’ve been the ones that have given me the success that I desire to have. It’s like keeping my name in people’s ears type of thing. I don’t really feel like they were the ones to give me what I needed. I’m definitely working on new material. It’s like fishing. You put a worm on the hook until you get a fish. That’s what I’m doing. I’m working on a greeting card that you open it up, and it sings “Finally” to you. I have a foundation, called Lifting Others to Succeed Foundation, Incorporated, which I’m finishing all the … it’s already been put through, but I’m getting my 501(c)(3) on it, so that people know it’s legit. I’m working on that. I’m also getting ready to do a monthlong fitness competition in July. I’ll be in the best shape of my life. I’m doing this physique bikini competition. I’m going to make sure I detail everything on my Facebook, my official fan page, my Twitter, my Instagram, everything; I’m going to put up pictures.

TV One did “Unsung” on CeCe Peniston. What was that like? How did you feel? What was it like doing “Unsung”?

It was a blessing. At first, I’m not going to lie, when I felt like I had to do it, I started kind of getting stressed out a little bit. People were like, “Why are you stressed?” I was like, “…I’m revealing my life to people,” when I’ve always been kind of like in the cut. What it does is- sometimes when you visit stuff, and you go back, it revisits old wounds. For me, I have to honestly say at first I was kind of apprehensive. Then I said, “OK, you’ve got to be authentic. People need to feel you in a way. They don’t really know you.” I said, “You need to let people feel who you are.” I think it’s the best thing I could have done. A lot of people were like, “You were really real. You were raw. I didn’t know you were so real, and you shared your life.” I’m thankful I did it, because I got a blessing out of it, and I got to just release some old stuff that I really didn’t want there. It was cool. It was a great blessing. I’ve had women share their stories about going through childbirth and their challenges that they’ve had, and different stuff. It was a blessing.

What advice would you give people that are looking to take their step to do what they really want to do in life? I would tell them to don’t let anybody tell you who you are. If you have a dream, then you pursue it, and don’t let anybody speak their opinion on what you feel like you need to do, if you feel like it’s something that you need to accomplish. I also say, success is the only option. You have that mindset. Even when it’s hard and you don’t feel like doing it, or you’re having a day, you’ve got to think that there’s somebody … next life … the next person is already behind you. They’ll do it if you don’t. Please believe that. People have a short mind span … attention span.

“Self image is everything.”

“Own Your Destiny” Written By YM Staff Sometimes, its not easy to tell when you are a victim. Some of the worst types of hindrances are the ones you put on yourselves. After all, we are our own worst critics, and we often beat up on ourselves much more than we realize. Owning your destiny means taking responsibily for your errors, and changing your attitude. It means affirming daily your beliefs and goals, and constantly reviewing your action plan. Owning your destiny means having your plan and sticking to it - not blaming others for your shortcomings. It also means “stop beating up on yourself” and see the purity behind your mistakes, as it is a necessary process to enhance your journey. The power of visualization is understood and practiced by the elite. It is overlooked and simply ignored by the common person, who are relegated to a life of mediocrity based on their lack of vision. A narrow minded person has a limited vision. Their focus extends no further than whats directly in front of them in life. Living check to check without a plan to change from being someone else’s employee to a business owner can be an example. However, business ownership is not everyone’s cup of tea. Therefore, doing the minimum on your job - not seeking to be promoted, but living in a state of complacency - is another example of narrow mindedness. If you are a CEO - you have another potential hidden issue - it’s easy to be comfortable. Have you considered how to triple your worth in wisdom, expertise, and financial status over the next three years? How do you move from having one store to hundreds? Instead of “thousands” of locations (if you have national chain), how do you globalize your market? What resources have you considered to take your brand to other countries such as Japan, Australia, or Russia? Or - like many companies, are you comfortable where you are with only being local?

What other values can you add to your brand? What markets compliment your portfolio? If you are a small business owner, lets say a chain of hair salons, could your brand benefit by adding your own hair product line in your salons and other value added services such as nails, professional makeup, spa facilities, making your salon a one stop shop? This concept applies to every business. Own your destiny - write a new one - reinvent yourself by utilizing the unlimited mind you possess. Many of the wealthiest individuals started their journey with nothing in their possession except the clothes on their back and plenty of time on their hands. The power of visualization an innate gift endowed within each person from the Creator - is the tool which facilitated the chain of events, opportunities and testimonies that lead up to today’s success. Everyone is born with it, but clearly only a few use their power of mind to manifest greatness in their lives and business. How to take control of your destiny: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Be thankful of the innate gift, and the opportunity to bring about any righteous desire of your heart just by the power of thought. Visualize your desires. Research the process of obtaining your desires. Create a vision board. Learn how to “know” - know that you will obtain these desires. Focus your energy on the desires - create your action plan from your research. Visualize the finished hundred-story skyscraper with your logo on the top by looking at a single peace of brick. Watch it happen. Enjoy the moments. Repeat this cycle over and over again. Show someone else how to do what you just did, and your success will exponentially grow. YAHWEHMAGAZINE.COM | 23

⏐ YM EXCLUSIVE ⏐ TORREI HART

“My name is Torrei Hart. I am a mother, sister, business woman, a mogul in the making. I am all in one actress, writer, author with a new book coming out. I am looking forward to the new chapter in my life which is happening right now.” We are excited about having you. Please to us about the show Atlanta Exes: It is a great show, I enjoy the experience. I like and watch reality tv. I know reality tv gets a bad rep, but it has really helped a lot of people in my opinion. It gives a lot of people employment, you get to see people’s journey and growth. There is a lot that comes with reality tv. Everything about reality tv isn’t negative. In the show you get to see whats going on in our lives. We are very relatable to a lot of different women because we each went through something [while the cameras were rolling] that can relate to every woman, and even some men.

You keep it very real. In meeting you, you have a sweet, and loving personality. At the same time, you are very tough. Here is the thing that you have to understand. I am very sweet and tough. When you are a sweet person, sometimes people think they can get over on you and say whatever they want you. With me, they find out real quick - that is not the case. I treat people good, but people shouldn't expect to run over me because that’s not going to happen.

How did you land the part on the reality show? 26 | YAHWEHMAGAZINE.COM

⏐ YM EXCLUSIVE ⏐ TORREI HART I attend the same church as the producers of the show. I’ve known them in passing because Vernon is Murphy’s brother. The comedy role is a pretty small community - if you know one person, you pretty much know everyone. They asked me to be apart of Hollywood Access, but at the time I was pitching my own tv show. They came back to me with this offer, and asked me if I ever thought about living in Atlanta. At that point in my life, I was ready for change. When they offered me the opportunity, I told them I would love to take it, and I’m glad I did. A lot of positive things happened for me when I moved to Atlanta. They saw everything that I was doing - my acting, writing - everything - and thought this would help my platform.

What is the current status of your personal project? Once I received the opportunity for Atlanta Exes, I put it on the back burner. I felt like the caliber of the women of the show, and with my instant bond and strong connection with them from having experienced similar situations, made this a better opportunity.

Tell us about your new business. I have a mixer that is out right now called “Skimpy Mixers” - its a low calorie drink. You can make it alcoholic or nonalcoholic. Its also kidfriendly - you can add spice to their juice. It’s doing well. Its in Walmart right now. It is also an empowerment movement too. The company I partnered with is founded and managed by women. I partnered with them because they are women and I saw them doing positive things for their community. I love positive women coming together, doing positive things in the community.

What else would you like to share with the world about yourself and your works? I thought about starting a shoe line. I love natural hair care products. It’s simply business for me. I love acting - acting is my passion. I also designed some headphones, I may come out with headphone line. I’ve been considering a line of telephone cases, too. I am very creative. I feel YAHWEHMAGAZINE.COM | 27

⏐ YM EXCLUSIVE ⏐ TORREI HART like God has given me such a great platform, and I truly believe I can touch a lot of people by creating different things and getting my products out there. It’s all about timing.

Tell us about your community work. I have a non-profit organization titled S.O.A.R. which stands for Starting Over Again Ready. I started it with my sister. It is an organization which helps women by empowering and strengthening them in areas such as career readiness, practical skills, etc. One example of practical skills - we teach women how to dress for job interviews. There are a lot of women that do not know how to dress for a job interview you would be surprised how many women would wear fish net stockings or a mini-skirt to get hired for an office position. We want to help them with this as well as manners, etiquette. We also show them that even though they may have went through hard times - break ups, abuse, loss of home, etc, there is life after that if we keep pushing forward. It serves as a mentorship program as well.

We are proud of you and your ambition. You are so driven, and motivated. We really appreciate you. I appreciate you just as well. I really love everything you are doing, and what you stand for. Anything I can do to help your movement, please know that I would love to help you in anyway that I can as well.

The Celestial Federation of YAHWEH presented its first Medal of Honor at the end of 2014 to John “YAHWEH Gabriel” Sherron. Born and raised in Humboldt, he joined the service, and served in Vietnam. He is being honored for his commitment to assisting individuals who cannot assist themselves, and his support of the global cause. "I would like to open a children book store, to educate the children, feed the homeless, and show them how to love themselves so they can love others”, he said in a recent interview. “My only desire is for the world to know the knowledge of truth: not just my community in Humboldt, but the entire world. The world will be a better place." In his journey, he moved to New York and learned about the knowledge of YAHWEH in 1981. He has recently been involved with assisting children, feeding the less fortunate, and doing other works in the community. YAHWEH MAGAZINE thought it not robbery to recognize one of our strongest supporters, and we are honored to have you in our corner.

⏐ y m T H E - O LO G I E S ⏐ EDIFYOLOGY - THE ART OF CHARACTER BUILDING

Level 1

By: David Peterson What if there was a simple way to help one another - as simple as riding a bike, and all we had to do was make that choice every day could we make that choice? Edifyology is the art and science of instructing or benefiting the character or mind of someone morally and spiritually to uplift them to a new level of living. The process starts small and can be similar to putting training wheels on a bike. Just say a few kind words to each member of your family every day and rehearse the habit over and over. In about a month, the whole family will be riding unicycles of edification around each other with ease: working to out edify one another! The Japanese culture has a long tradition of repairing broken porcelain or pots with gold; it's called kintsugi or kintsukuroi... the term "kintsugi" means “golden joining” in Japanese

and refers to the art of fixing broken ceramics using genuine gold powder in the resin. "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." -Frederick Douglas Edifying one's neighbors goes beyond saying 'hi' occasionally. It can even start with an invitation to watch a movie together weekly with popcorn along with improved conversation about the movie mixed in with upliftinf comments about certain neighbors who you appreciate visiting your humble home. The next step will soon be the entire neighborhood renting a theatre and taking turns speaking about family values that are seen in the movie and relating them to the families in the neighborhood to begin edifying a better community.
