Ministar Imani Yahshuah the Journey
The Temple of Yahshuah website is one of the many offerings for, of and from The Living Temple of the individual who designed and develop this website, namely Imani Yahshuah. Imani Yahshuah, meaning faith in Yahshuah (God’s Salvation) is a Baptised Karastian (Christian), who has for decades studied the Bible, African history and the religions of the world. Imani has a quite limited but broad and varied knowledge base on the different and the differences, between world cultures and religions, past and present. Although varied this knowledgebase and awareness is specific to when, what and how, these particular cultures or religions, are relevant to himself and African People, directly. This has been instrumental in him being able to have a world view centred on Africa.
As well as being a practicing Orthodox Christian, central to this Faith and most definitely the foundation for it, has been unsurprising that from the beginning of his journey over 30 years ago, Imani has been and remains to this day a self-proclaimed, devoted Garveyite. He has lectured, taught, developed projects, created resources and a wide-variety of other tools, specifically to raise people’s awareness to Garvey’s philosophies, his life and legacy.
For this knowledge and devotion, Imani is well known, respected and accepted as an authority in this area. Together with his knowledge and devotion to Marcus Garvey, Imani is also a self-proclaimed devotee of Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. However contrary to what most people may perceive, Imani is very far from being a Rastafarian and shares very few of their views, other than there recognition of the Prophet and King. Like with Yahshuah, he adheres strictly to what these two individuals have said, from their own mouth, opposed to what other people say or may think they said, which is customary the case, with all three aforementioned individuals.
Ironically and possibly unheard of and quite irregular and striking to most, is that Imani, without reservation, categorically affirms that it was directly through Marcus Garvey words, his advice and direct instruction that specifically turned his focus towards Christ and Christ Alone and also that his awareness of the teachings, works and the accomplishments of Haile Selassie I, not only confirmed this, but ultimately through the Holy Spirit Guided Him personally to the One True Ancient Apostolic Oriental Orthodox Christian Faith & Church.
Therefore The Temple of Yahshuah website, as well as having its primary objectives of Proclaiming the Gospel of Yahshuah, to help individuals build their own Temple, through this Gospel. The website as mentioned above also represents an Offering of Imani (the web designer) for, of and from his Own Living Temple. It symbolising firstly what has come into His Temple, and secondly what is now coming out. This website therefore also represents his duty and recent publically declared responsibility, as a Christian, to Defend & Proclaim the Gospel of Yahshuah to World. Therefore The Temple of Yahshua website ultimately represents His Own Personal Testimony, his Ministry or Mini-story of how the Gospel of Yahshuah, has been revealed to him personally.
Yahshuah Revealed (The Holy Spirit at work)
As mentioned Imani Yahshuah is currently a proclaimed Baptised Christian, specifically within the Oriental Orthodox Christian Churches, he attends Church, receives the Holy Mysteries (Eucharist) and accepts all the fundamental principles of the Oriental Christian Faith. This proclamation however has been quite recent, within the last few years. Like other none-Oriental Christian’s, who forsake other Christian denominations, to join the Ancient Apostolic tradition, he too has had to undergo a second baptism. However unlike other none-Oriental’s, his first baptism, which happened nearly two decades previous, was not cancelled out or could ever be, as it was not attached to any denomination, but was very personal and intimate between, Himself, Yah (God), Yahshuah and his immediate family.
Imani's Pilgrimage to Close the Triangle & Break the Spell
This culminated in Imani setting up for the first time his Own Living Temple. This first Baptism was not only personal but very significant, as not only was he Baptised, on his own instruction, specifically in the Name of the Father, The Son & the Holy Spirit, The One God of Ethiopia. But the Holy water that was used for this ceremony, performed by a likeminded Christian Brother, was collected physically, actually and personally by Imani himself, from the 3 points of the Triangle that had enslaved his ancestors, i.e; from Africa (Gambia the Atlantic Ocean 1998), the Caribbean (Jamaica Ochi Rios 1999) and from European (England Liverpool docks 2000). This water he collected over a period of 3 years, with the intent at least 5 years before this first private Baptism.
Although many could perceive this as 2 physical Baptism, however together these two baptisms, actually represent Only One True Required Baptism, as taught and instructed by Yahshuah Himself.
The first Private Baptism, symbolises the Water Baptism, similar to John’s Baptism, coming out of the wilderness, preparing the way and to clean out and cleanse the Living Temple. Once cleansed the Holy Spirit immediately enters and from here on through the Grace and Mercy of the Most High Yah, through personal works performed in the name of Yahshuah and for his Glory, the Holy Spirit continues to lead you into all Truth. This culminated in the Public Baptism and proclamation to the world, The Baptism of Fire, when the Holy Spirit guides you to the True Flock, as well as shows you exactly what your role is in the Divine Master Plan.
