Being IN the World but not OF the World September 4, 2008

Is it truly possible to be in this world, but not of this world? Christ Jesus as our example showed us that it is.

John 8:23 “You are from below,” He told them, “I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”

John 15:9 “If you were of the world, the world would love [you as] its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.”

John 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this world,” said Jesus. “If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn’t be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here.”

At John 8:23, Christ shows us that as humans, this world is where we originated in that we are first flesh and then become spirit whereas he, originated as the only direct creation of God – first Michael the Archangel/The Word in spirit, then becoming flesh as Christ Jesus before returning to spirit. He was truly not of this world as he clearly stated in John 8:23 and he remained in the world but not of this world for his entire human existence. While we originated in this world, we also have the choice to be in this world and not of this world. I’ll explain this a bit further as we continue looking at these scriptures.

At John 15:9, he goes on to explain that those who are of the world are loved by the world but that by not being of the world and instead chosen out of it, you will be hated by the world.

And finally at John 18:36 he explains again that neither his origination nor his kingdom were in or of this world.

What draws my attention in particular in the above three scriptures is that it says, of the world. Why do you think that is? Why does it say of rather than in? We are all in this world together because we exist on this planet. But is there a difference between being in the world and being of the world? In order to decipher the truths that reside within these scriptures, let’s look at the definition of the word “world” a little more closely:

Definition of World
- noun
1. the earth or globe, considered as a planet.
2. (often initial capital letter) a particular division of the earth: the Western world.
3. the earth or a part of it, with its inhabitants, affairs, etc., during a particular period: the ancient world.
4. humankind; the human race; humanity: The world must eliminate war and poverty.
5. the public generally: The whole world knows it.
6. the class of persons devoted to the affairs, interests, or pursuits of this life: The world worships success.
7. a particular class of people, with common interests, aims, etc.: the fashionable world.
8. any sphere, realm, or domain, with all pertaining to it: a child’s world; the world of dreams; the insect world.
9. everything that exists; the universe; the macrocosm.
10. any complex whole conceived as resembling the universe: the world of the microcosm.
11. one of the three general groupings of physical nature: the animal world; mineral world; vegetable world.
12. any period, state, or sphere of existence: this world; the world to come.
13. often worlds. A great deal: that vacation was worlds of fun.
14. any indefinitely great expanse.
15. any heavenly body: the starry worlds.

While there are many uses for the word world, I feel that what the Word is telling us is that to be in the world and of the world are most definitely two different things. Let’s explore this a little further.

At Psalm 9:8 it says, “He judges the world with righteousness; He executes judgment on the peoples with fairness.”

When it says, “He judges the world”, if you were to apply the first definition of the word world which is 1. the earth or globe, considered as a planet, would that then mean that Father judges not only the people on earth but also plants, animals, rocks, oceans and mountains? Of course not. So it would be more accurate to say that when Christ said the world he was referring to the fourth definition of the word world which is 4. humankind; the human race; humanity.

So let’s now ponder a bit further as to why, while we originate from and are in this world, we would not want to be of this world.

Think about the world we live in. Do you feel that it is a world that is of Father’s original design and plan – one of love, peace, harmony and beauty? Or has the world for some time now been a world that more resembles the king of all lies, Dawn Lucifer? The answer to this question can be found in the following scripture:

Jeremiah 9:6 “You live in [a world] of deception. In [their] deception they refuse to know Me. [This is] the LORD’s declaration.”

Because deception is not of Father, we know just exactly whose influence it is that we are all currently under as Dawn Lucifer seeks his tin-god rulership of the world. He is the original deceiver and continues to deceive humankind in his attempt to win the Spiritual War. We currently have no choice but to be in the reality in which we currently exist – this world – and we are in bondage to Dawn Lucifer in the same way that the Israelites were in bondage to the Egyptians. It is for this reason that Christ will return to free us from this bondage. Until then, the choice is ours to be in this world but not of this world. This is probably one of the single most important choices we could ever make because choosing to be of this world could also mean losing out in being freed from bondage as well as losing our Eternal Life because Christ will not return for all of humankind – only his followers and Father’s children.

The difference between being of the world and being in this world is really a simple thing. Ask yourself. Do you accept Christ Jesus as your Savior and follow The Way of the Narrow Path or do you reject truth and submit yourself to what Dawn Lucifer has made of this sinful world and follow the wide road of destruction instead? Is this world all there is for you – making you a permanent resident? Or is there another place you call home in the Spirit Realm – making you an alien or temporary resident?

Dawn Lucifer has developed many tactics over the many years since the beginning of the Spiritual War and I’d like to talk a little bit about just one of them because in using this particular tactic he is keeping the chains that bind much of humankind to this world taught and strong. He does this by keeping us distracted from Spiritual growth and focus on Father and Christ by keeping us attracted to the fleshly desires of the here and now. He knows how to use these fleshly desires against us and how to keep us of this world – a world of his own making. However, the chains CAN be broken and we have the power, given to us by our Almighty God and example given by Christ Jesus to do this, but it takes love, strength and endurance among many other things in order to succeed.

Now think about the world today. What things is humankind most attracted to? Fame. Money. Power. Prestige. What do you hear on the Radio, hear and see on TV and hear, see and read on the Internet? What sort of people are making headlines and for what? Who are the people we look up to and idolize? How do people treat one another? These are just a few questions to ponder, but the scriptures give us a more detailed description of what our world has truly become:

2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But know this: difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of religion but denying its power. Avoid these people!”

Aside from being a major sign of End Times, what does this tell you about humanity? Are they of this world that is of Dawn Lucifer’s making? If you don’t know then you may be of this world.

I have to say that most people in this world have no idea how perilous the times we live in truly are. Father is extending warnings to humankind that are going unnoticed and it’s because so many people are trapped within the myriad of Dawn Lucifer’s snares.

1 Peter 2:11 “Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you.”

I reach out to you and I urge you, in the same way and with the same urgency and conviction as Peter urged his readers to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you. There are many false shepherds who are in and of this world that are preaching the gospel of prosperity while at the same time leading Christ’s sheep directly into Dawn Lucifer’s snare. Search your heart and determine if you’re of this world by asking yourself: What sort of fleshly desires are you attracted to? Do you seek a bigger, better or fancier home? Are you inwardly jealous or envious of the car your neighbor drives or the pool in their backyard or the amount of vacations they take and to where? Do you aspire to possess belongings and material things? Do you seek fame, money, power and prestige for self-serving reasons? Are money, sex, drugs and alcohol or any of the things mentioned above more important than your relationship with Father and Christ or your eternal life?

You see, these things, these fleshly desires that are innately a part of us and war against us, are exactly what Dawn Lucifer uses against us to snare us in the Spiritual War. They are empty and have no meaning at all and he is betting that these things will be more important to us than Father, Christ and our own eternal lives. You must come to a realization that they are all only temporary! You must come to understand that if Dawn Lucifer can get you to focus on these meaningless, empty things; if he can convince you to focus more on THEM than on your relationship with Father and Christ and your spiritual growth, he has you right where he wants you because these things won’t just chain you to this world but they will lead you down the wide road of destruction. The wide road of destruction is the loss of your eternal life.

This is why what is stated at 1 Peter 2:11 is so very, very important and particularly in this day and age because the hourglass is nearly empty. Time is running out for humankind. Following what is shared at 1 Peter 2:11 will break the chains that bind us to this world and when the chains are broken, we are free to aspire to be in union with Father and Christ and are given the opportunity of Salvation and Eternal Life. This is what it means to be not of this world. It is rejecting that which Dawn Lucifer has created and considering ourselves as aliens and temporary residents of this world, while being content with whatever Father provides for our livelihoods and knowing both that She will provide and that what we are experiencing in this world is only temporary too. What we should focus on is not the here and now, because the here and now will pass away but Father and Christ and Eternity will never pass away.

Thoughts on Confidence August 23, 2008

Psalm 16

Confidence in the LORD

1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
3 As for the holy people who are in the land,
they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who take another [god]
for themselves multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
5 LORD, You are my portion
and my cup [of blessing];
You hold my future.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD who counsels me —
even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I keep the LORD in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad,
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely.
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol;
You will not allow Your Faithful One to see the Pit.
11 You reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.

The Definition of Confidence

1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed.
2. belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance: His lack of confidence defeated him.
3. certitude; assurance: He described the situation with such confidence that the audience believed him completely.

I believe that Father leads me to explore the meaning of the word confidence in the Word, because it’s something I am lacking an understanding in. I feel that Father is helping me to more fully understand faith, trust and now confidence in Her, which all seem to fit together perfectly.

As I study the different definitions of confidence one stands out to me due to the example that is given of it being used in a sentence. “His lack of confidence defeated him”. I am now certain, that Father would like for me to reason out the importance of confidence and how it can be used to bring Her glory in my service to Her.

Philippians 3:3-5 For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh— 4 although I once had confidence in the flesh too. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

In reading the above scripture, I see that we are told that in serving Father we do not put confidence in the flesh. Perhaps this speaks of a certain boldness, or pride in oneself. Because the flesh is sinful, I think it best to not place confidence in oneself, but instead to place all confidence in Father who is infallible. Confidence in oneself could also lead to leaning on one’s own understanding and being misled into believing that which is not truth. We see this evident then, in those who did not believe that Christ Jesus was the son of God in the same way as we see it today in these End Times. We also see it evident in the many people who believe that once saved is always saved and who have so much confidence in their own salvation that they do not realize that it is something that must be attained via diligence and endurance.

Proverbs 3:25-27 Don’t fear sudden danger or the ruin of the wicked when it comes, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare.

When Father is our confidence, it is She that keeps our foot from a snare because we are leaning on Her in full faith and trust of her abilities and righteousness. To lean on oneself would be counter productive, as being of the flesh we can be easily misled via our own sinful natures.

Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pot say of the potter, “He knows nothing”?

Additionally, the clay cannot have confidence in itself in being able to withstand the heat it is fired in, or in its own ability to hold water. It must have confidence in the potter, to know what temperature it should be kilned and how it should be properly molded in order to contain the water poured in it without breaking. The clay must instead have confidence in the potter, who is far more knowledgeable.

2 Corinthians 8:22 We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested, in many circumstances, and found diligent—and now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

Each day we are each tested. I have been and continue to be tested. I understand that it must occur and that it is one of many ways in which to learn and grow in Father. I know that there is a reason behind all testing that goes on. And while I fear many times that I have done wrong, so wrong that I’ve lost all chances of obtaining salvation, I also feel a voice within my heart that says that rather than being filled with fear, I should instead place my full faith, trust and confidence in Father. Because I am imperfect and still of the sinful flesh I stumble daily. And daily, sometimes several times a day depending on the sort of day I’m having, I ask Father for forgiveness because I feel so deeply how far from the mark I am. Then, the next day I get up, aided by Her Spirit, and continue to move forward the best way I know how. I am not confident in myself at all, but I now more fully understand how important it is to have full confidence in Father.

Psalm 3

Confidence in Troubled Times

1 LORD, how my foes increase!
There are many who attack me.

2 Many say about me,
“There is no help for him in God.”

Selah

3 But You, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

There are many who attack me. Who want to see me fall away. Who play mind games and attempt to shatter my morale and cause me to lose faith and trust in Father. But it will not work. Rather, I am urged to study and dig deeper within the Word and to write about what I’m feeling and what I discover. Through this medium I am able to see the words that lift me up as I am instructed in knowledge, obtaining a greater understanding and finally wisdom.

My faith, my trust, my confidence is in Father and not in myself and while I may be weak, She is strong. Though I am made confident by Her and through Her. She is my shield around me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. The One who loves me despite my many flaws. The One who forgives my sins because I am confident also in the grace I am under and the sacrifice Her son made for us all. Through him and only him am I forgiven.

Diligently I will move forward, one foot in front of the other, eyes cast towards Her and always seeking Her instruction. I will not be defeated due to lack of confidence in myself, because my confidence is not in myself, the flesh, but instead where it should be, in Father whose Spirit moves me.

May Father’s Light Awaken You July 29, 2008

2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness” —He has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ.”

While browsing MySpace today, I happened upon the Most Read Blogs button and clicked on it only to see that the NUMBER ONE most read blog on MySpace is titled “The End of Christianity”. The same user, who goes by the name “Human Evolution” also has the 6th most red blog on MySpace titled, “Where did we come from?” Later on, while reading through Google News headlines, I came upon a very well written article titled, “Other Religions Accepted while Christianity Scoffed At”, by Jamie Kenny of The Olympian. The article ended in a poignant statement that spoke of the world today in regards to Christianity and mankind in general. “If only my (Christian) faith was reclassified as a philosophy or cultural tradition my views might become accepted, too. A cross on the Capitol Campus would be no different than a totem pole.”

Do you recognize that both the MySpace blogs and the news story are signs of End Times?

This week I was so happy to be witness to the awakening of a friend’s husband. It was proof positive in how Father’s light cuts through the darkness of the world and is able to reach Her children. It truly was as if his eyes were opened to what was happening in the world around him for the very first time.

As a reader of this newsletter, you’ve noticed that we have accompanying scriptures that apply to each section for Nourishment from the Throne, Signs Up Above, Signs Down Below, Signs of Natural Disasters, Signs of False Shepherds & Religion and Faith Under Fire. This is because while we are sharing nourishment, we are also pulling the headlines from multitudes of news sources from around the world and they all apply to the prophecies spoken of in the scriptures. It is our hope and most sincere prayer that in reading our newsletter, that the reader not only receive life-saving nourishment, but that also via these news stories the eyes of some or many may be opened as well. That those who are touched by Father’s light via the newsletter also experience an awakening.

So what if you are one of those people who recognizes the signs around us and attributes them to prophecy being fulfilled?

Perhaps you’re in a state of shock. It’s not an easy thing to know that Father’s wrath is building and the end is near. You may feel disappointment in not having had the chance to do things you always wanted to do. To get married and have children and/or see your children grow up and get married and have children of their own. To build your dream house, or travel to parts of the world you’ve never seen.

The thing to remember in all of this is that creation as we know it, was not a part of Father’s original plan. The end will bring an end to Dawn Lucifer’s world and all that is evil – which is a good thing – and there is so much more to look forward to. More than any of us can even begin to imagine. Once you get past the initial shock, you will realize this, and come to a greater understanding that it is not all doom and gloom but good news because you will begin to look forward to Christ’s return and the establishment of his kingdom. This is why we proclaim the GOOD NEWS – because it is just that!

You may also feel frightened. Fear almost always stems from the unknown and there are many unknowns in regards to End Times. You may wonder if you’re ready. If you’ve lived a good life and been a truly good person – not by societies standards but by Father’s. If you’ve done all that you can do to follow The Way that Christ Jesus set before us. In essence, you may be wondering if you’ve been good enough to “make it” into the Rapture of Father’s faithful footstep followers of Christ. Your fear may also be that of the thoughts of what Armageddon will bring. You may also fear for the safety and survival of your loved ones because your eyes have been fully opened to the amount of evil that exists in this world at present.

There is an emotional process involved in being human and coming to an understanding of what is occurring around us and what is to come and not everyone processes this knowledge in the same way. For the most part, people of the world today choose to ignore, dismiss or deny what they may very well feel deep down in their hearts and this can be for a multitude of reasons. Others have been mislead and are so far immersed in darkness that the light may never reach them.

If you are one of the people I described, who recognizes the signs around us and attributes them to prophecy being fulfilled, now IS the time to search your heart. Now is the time for a full awakening of the truth as we are each responsible for our own salvation. Do not be in shock because it has been prophesied. And do not be afraid because Father will make sure that Her faithful children are delivered from the coming wrath. Instead, prepare your heart and guard it as well.

In our Kingdom Message of Salvation, we share a message of truth that details what is required for salvation. They are two things. 1) An acceptance of Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior and 2) A good heart condition.

Perhaps you’ve accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, but what about the 2nd requirement?

- Do you love the LORD our God with all your heart, mind and strength?
- Have you humbled yourself completely?
- Have you confessed your sins and shortcomings and felt repentance within your heart and asked for forgiveness?
- Have you submitted yourself fully to Father’s will?
- Have you recognized fully that without Father Yahweh, nothing within our realities is possible?
- Have you come to an understanding that without Father and without the Ransom Sacrifice of Christ Jesus, we would be lost for eternity?

There are many more questions one could ask oneself while searching one’s heart and I know… because they are questions I have asked myself almost daily. Speaking as someone who once walked in darkness, was found and experienced an awakening, I understand the myriad of emotions involved and the roller coaster it can sometimes feel like because right now, the world is filled with anxieties and frustrations. But all of that will soon end, and that is why the coming wrath is a double-edged sword. With it will come eternal death for those declared negative but it will also bring the promised rest of Christ’s Kingdom for those declared faithful.

Genesis 2:2-3 “By the seventh day, God completed His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done. God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it He rested from His work of creation.”

Until then all we can do is continue to do everything within our power to continue our walk in Christ’s footsteps, have faith, and hope, and know in our hearts that with the coming rest and restoration of creation, will come a reality that is greater and more splendid that we could ever imagine.

Acts 3:19-20 “Therefore repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and He may send Jesus, who has been appointed Messiah for you. Heaven must welcome Him until the times of the restoration of all things, which God spoke about by the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning.”

Yes, God is Angry July 17, 2008

Matthew 16:2-3 He answered them: “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be good weather because the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘Today will be stormy because the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can’t read the signs of the times.

In the past there have been many judgments made by Father against mankind. They have included Adam and Eve, Cain, The Great Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Pompeii, and many more. In our weekly newsletter, we have done our very best at bringing you news stories of all the signs we are currently witnessing in the world around us. Unfortunately, while many know how to read the appearance of the sky, they cannot read the signs of the times.

Numbers 14:11 [ God's Judgment of Israel's Rebellion ] The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise Me? How long will they not trust in Me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

Have you taken the time to read them and truly ponder the meaning behind them all? Have you noted all the major changes that are occurring here on earth, which include what scientists have coined as “Global Warming”? Or the increase in Natural Disasters, Plagues, Famine, Fires, Droughts, Heat Waves, Extreme Cold, Melting Ice Caps, Volcano Eruptions, Tsunami, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Floods etc.?

If you have, then you may be wondering to yourself, “Is God Angry?”

The answer to your question is “Yes, God is Angry.”

However! God is also Love.

So how can God be angry and love at the same time?

Because She has warned us and She has been long suffering in that the wrath has been a long time coming. Many, unless they live in the specific areas that are experiencing the horrific natural disasters, simply don’t understand or comprehend the magnitude of these disasters. Some, like the Fallen Angels of Adam and Eve’s time, believe that Father’s wrath will never come, or that it will come all in one day. Others are so wrapped up in their lives and the ways of this evil world that they completely miss the many signs exhibited both through nature and society that make it so plain to see. Others lean on their own understanding in attempting to decipher prophecy and are consequently blinded to the truth that is all around them.

Our Ministry for three years now, has known the truth and have been well aware of the signs that have been given to mankind. As part of our stewardships we have delivered the Kingdom Message of Salvation, which not only explains what is required for Salvation but also delivers a warning to those who refuse to accept the truth.

Luke 21:11 There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.

Luke 21:25 [ The Coming of the Son of Man ] “Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves.

Does it not seem coincidental to you that these things have been prophesied are the exact same signs we are witness to today? That the US Dollar is nearly valueless? That oil prices surge? That layoffs and unemployment are at unprecedented highs? That food, electricity and water are becoming more and more scarce? That Natural Disasters continue to impact not only many lives, but also the economies of many countries – each affecting other countries around the world? That prayer and all signs of Christianity are being forced from public view? That the unnatural marriage between gay men and women is socially acceptable? That many have come to the forefront proclaiming to be Messiahs? That Organized Religion around the world is receiving much scrutiny and bad press?

Currently, God’s holy angels are pouring out the bowls of wrath on an evil world of people. Keep count of how many more are perishing by God’s hand, and those dying from Satan’s hand in causing violence throughout this planet, just as he did before the global flood. As time moves on the numbers God executes will be evident by those that are soon to perish by the emptying of more wrath from the bowls. The destruction IS coming from Father. It is a final warning during the tribulation period before the door closes and the cup of wrath is administered.

If you believe that it is only nature, only “global warming” that is bringing devastation, then you need also to understand who nature is a part of – God – and who uses it to bring forth Her will – Her holy angels. The bowls of wrath represent nature at its deadliest. The cup of wrath represents execution by holy angelic warriors.

How do you know that what we reveal comes from God? Moses is our example:

Numbers 16:28-30 “Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will: If these men die [naturally] as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the LORD has not sent me. But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”

Yes, God is Angry, but God is also Love. She is the giver of all life and the One that decides who shall live and who shall not. She has blessed us with free will and is still giving mankind every opportunity to repent with a humble heart and accept Her son as Lord and Savior BEFORE Her wrath arrives. We have been warned it would come and we have been warned what will happen if we fail to heed Her warning. It is not Her wish that Her children should perish but a balancing of the scales must take place. Her name must be vindicated before all of creation. Heed Her warning. Turn to Her with a humble heart and acceptance of Christ Jesus as your savior. It is the only way to escape God’s wrath.

Pondering Proverbs 8 July 7, 2008

I found out today that in treating the nourishment we receive as “homework” so to speak – through following Christ’s instruction of getting out our dictionary and searching for correlation’s in the Word, truly helped me in focusing more and gaining a better understanding of what I was reading. It helped me to slow down and be more diligent in seeking the deeper meanings and listening for Father’s voice within my heart as I read what was written.

I was asked to share what I learned and I pray that what I have to share will open the eyes of those that read it. In Christ’s name, Amen.

Proverbs 8
Wisdom’s Appeal

In the same way that The Word/Christ Jesus is the embodiment of Father, Father is the personification of wisdom.

Definition of Wisdom
1. the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.
2. Scholarly knowledge or learning
3. wise sayings or teachings; precepts.
4. a wise act or saying

Definition of Appeal
1. an earnest request for aid, support, sympathy, mercy, etc.; entreaty; petition; plea
2. a request or reference to some person or authority for a decision, corroboration, judgment etc.
3. Law
a. an application or proceeding for review by a higher tribunal
b. (in legislative body or assembly) a formal question as to the correctness of a ruling by a presiding officer.
c. Obsolete. A formal charge or accusation
4. the power or ability to attract, interest, amuse, or stimulate the mind or emotions
5. Obsolete. A summons or challenge
6. to ask for aid, support, mercy, sympathy, or the like; make an earnest entreaty
7. Law. To apply for review of a case or particular issue to a higher tribunal
8. to have need of or ask for proof, a decision, corroboration, etc.
9. to be especially attractive, pleasing, interesting or enjoyable
10. Law

The many meanings of the word appeal bring to mind the many meanings of each word within each verse of the scriptures.

Wisdom is appealing, in that it is nice to have wisdom, wisdom is attractive, interesting and enjoyable, but is that what the word is relating to us? Is it in fact that it is Father who calls out to Her children, appealing to us that we listen to Her voice? The voice of wisdom, knowledge and understanding?

1 Doesn’t Wisdom call out?
Doesn’t Understanding make her voice heard?

How can wisdom call out and why is wisdom capitalized, unless it’s referring not to the state of having wisdom, but Father as being wisdom Herself? The same goes for understanding, also being capitalized. She is both wisdom AND understanding. At the same time, Father wishes that Her children gain wisdom, so that we may also gain understanding – by which She offers Herself to us. It is via understanding – Her understanding and not our own – by which we are able to hear Her.

Correlation: Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is supreme – so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

2 At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.

The word heights brings to mind Mount Zion, but also the fact that Father is above us all as our creator. In the scriptures She is also referred to as “most high” in that there is no one above Her as She is the giver of our realities.

Definition of Crossroad
1. a road that crosses another road, or one that runs transversely to main roads.
2. a by-road
3. often, a crossroads.
a. The place where roads intersect
b. A point at which a vital decision must be made.
c. A main center of activity.

The word crossroads is a visual one for me. When I think of the word I see a cross. When I think of a cross, I think of Christ Jesus. When I think of Christ Jesus, I think of the sacrifice he made for us and the decision that Father had to make in order for this to take place. At the same time, I see the cross as actually being a crossroads. A point in time in which a vital decision was made. I also think of the stand both Father and Michael/Christ Jesus took against evil.

3 Beside the gates at the entry to the city,
at the main entrance, she cries out:

For those who discern that Father really has more female attributes than male, it is obvious that this verse speaks of Father. She is too holy to step foot outside of the gates so She stands by them, crying out to us. We have not gained entrance yet, but She is with us and beside us, showing us the way to the main entrance of the city. The holy city, the new city of Jerusalem where She resides. It is up to each of us individually to come to Her. To hear Her voice and to follow.

4 “People, I call out to you;
my cry is to mankind.

Mankind is the human race.

Definition of Cry
1. to utter inarticulate sounds, esp. of lamentation, grief, or suffering, usually with tears.
2. to weep, shed tears, with or without sound.
3. to call loudly; shout; yell
4. to demand resolution or strongly indicate a particular disposition

Father is long suffering. I feel that She both calls loudly to us via Her Holy Spirit/Active Force, and also sheds tears for us in what is to come when Her wrath is administered upon the earth and mankind.

5 Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.

Definition of Shrewd
1. astute or sharp in practical matters
2. keen; piercing

We are all inexperienced, in comparison to Father, Michael/Christ Jesus and the rest of Father’s creation and we must learn what is practical. What is practical are Father’s commands. Her wisdom. Her truth. We are, or have all been at one time, foolish. We must develop common sense. Spiritual common sense. Not common sense that is muddied by the physical world.

6 Listen, for I speak of noble things,
and what my lips say is right.

Definition of Noble
1. distinguished by rank or title
2. pertaining to persons so distinguished
3. of, belonging to, or constituting a hereditary class that has special social or political status in a country or state; of or pertaining to aristocracy.
4. of an exalted moral or mental character or excellence; lofty
5. admirable in dignity of conception, manner of expression, execution, or composition
6. very impressive or imposing in appearance; stately; magnificent
7. of admirably high quality; notably superior; excellent
8. famous; illustrious; renowned

I believe that the correct uses of noble in this verse as it is defined, would be both “of belonging to, or constituting a hereditary class that has special social or political status” and “of an exalted moral or mental character or excellence”

Father too is the very definition of noble. Through Her and through Her son Christ Jesus, the word noble is personified.

As was spoken by Michael/Christ Jesus, who continues Father’s work as our example – we too as footstep followers must continue what he manifested in his work for Father and as our predecessor.

7 For my mouth tells the truth,
and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.

Definition of Detestable
1. deserving to be detested; abominable; hateful.

Definition of Perverse
1. willfully determined or disposed to go counter to what is expected or desired; contrary
turned away from or rejecting what is right, good, or proper; wicked or corrupt.

Father is Truth. There is no wickedness in Her as it is detestable.

Correlation: Revelation 3:16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Correlation: Proverbs 2:12 rescuing you from the way of evil – from the one who says perverse things,

9 All of them are clear to the perceptive,
and right to those who discover knowledge.
10 Accept my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
11 For wisdom is better than precious stones,
and nothing desirable can compare with it.

Definition of Perceptive
1. having or showing keenness of insight, understanding, or intuition

Our intuition comes from Father and from listening to our hearts. In order to be perceptive, we must be in harmony with Father first. She makes all things clear.

Knowledge truly is a discovery for all, especially those who are inexperienced. It’s something searched for and unearthed. Something that was previously unseen or unknown.

Wisdom and knowledge are more valuable that gold and silver.

Correlation: Job 28:15 Gold cannot be exchanged for it, and silver cannot be weighed out for its price.
Correlation: Psalm 119:72 Instruction from Your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

12 I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdness
and have knowledge and discretion.
13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.

Wisdom and shrewdness come from the same place – they go hand in hand. Much like Father and Christ are One and Christ resides with Father. While we all reside within Father, in order to remain, we must fear Her and hate evil, pride etc. This brings to mind how there is no sitting on the fence. We cannot both love and fear Father and tolerate evil at the same time.

Correlation: Proverbs 1:4 for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced, knowledge and discretion to a young man—
Correlation: Matthew 10:16 [ Persecutions Predicted ] “Look, I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as serpents and as harmless as doves.

14 I possess good advice and competence;
I have understanding and strength.

Advice is nothing without understanding. Competence nothing without strength.

15 It is by me that kings reign
and rulers enact just law;
16 by me, princes lead,
as do nobles [and] all righteous judges.
17 I love those who love me,
and those who search for me find me.
18 With me are riches and honor,
lasting wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than solid gold,
and my harvest than pure silver.
20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
21 giving wealth as an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.

As we’ve been taught in the past, love does not cover all sins. To love Father is to seek Her ways and to love Her with all our hearts, minds and strength. The riches and wealth spoken of are not physical but spiritual. I believe they speak of the riches and wealth of knowledge and wisdom. It brings to mind Adam and Eve in the garden. The fruit from the tree that promised wisdom was not to be taken, as Father gives freely to those who seek Her and Her wisdom, who love Her, are obedient, faithful and loyal.

Correlation: Genesis 3:6 Then the woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate [it]; she also gave [some] to her husband, [who was] with her, and he ate [it].

22 The LORD made me
at the beginning of His creation,
before His works of long ago.
23 I was formed before ancient times,
from the beginning, before the earth began.
24 I was brought forth
when there were no watery depths
and no springs filled with water.
25 I was brought forth
before the mountains and hills were established,
26 before He made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.
27 I was there when He established the heavens,
when He laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,
28 when He placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed forth,
29 when He set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate His command,
when He laid out the foundations of the earth.
30 I was a skilled craftsman beside Him.
I was His delight every day,
always rejoicing before Him.
31 I was rejoicing in His inhabited world,
delighting in the human race.

In the above scriptures, Michael/Christ Jesus tells of how he is Fathers only direct creation, created before the Holy Angels and Mankind. He is the skilled craftsman beside Father, through whom all was created.

Correlation John 1:1-18
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were created through Him,
and apart from Him not one thing was created
that has been created.
4 Life was in Him,
and that life was the light of men.
5 That light in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it.
6 There was a man named John
who was sent from God.
7 He came as a witness
to testify about the light,
so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light,
but he came to testify about the light.
9 The true light, who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world
10 He was in the world,
and the world was created through Him,
yet the world did not recognize Him.
11 He came to His own,
and His own people did not receive Him.
12 But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born,
not of blood,
or of the will of the flesh,
or of the will of man,
but of God.
14 The Word became flesh
and took up residence among us.
We observed His glory,
the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,
“This was the One of whom I said,
‘The One coming after me has surpassed me,
because He existed before me. “)
16 Indeed, we have all received grace after grace
from His fullness,
17 for although the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God.
The One and Only Son —
the One who is at the Father’s side —
He has revealed Him.

32 And now, [my] sons, listen to me;
those who keep my ways are happy.
33 Listen to instruction and be wise;
don’t ignore it.
34 Anyone who listens to me is happy,
watching at my doors every day,
waiting by the posts of my doorway.
35 For the one who finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the LORD,
36 but the one who sins against me harms himself;
all who hate me love death.”

Verses 32 though 36 are a final “cry” for us to listen not only with our ears, but instead with our hearts. Showing how we can be happy, obtain instruction and wisdom. To be footstep followers of Christ – seeking him and Father in all things. To not do so is only to bring harm upon ourselves, as we are given the free will to decide for ourselves. We can either love Father, who gives us life or not… loving (or preferring) death instead.

Father is Wisdom June 29, 2008

The Cherubs have been diligently working at melting the ice caps at the North Pole. This year the evidence of the melt down will be complete and forthcoming. There’s absolutely no way for mankind or Dawn Lucifer’s spiritual forces to halt the melting caps. In addition, Father has made use of the animal kingdom, the beaver especially in breaking levies in the flooded state of Missouri and Iowa. The Cherubs have used the fierce weather patterns they’ve created to devastate and cause crop failures that will cause widespread disease from the polluted waters and will not only bring higher prices for corn and other drowned crops, but soon it will be impossible to even buy what is in short supply. In Iowa and Missouri the underground water aquifers are polluted with oil bi-products as well as fertilizers and human waste. Soon, it will reach an epidemic state as the Cherubs bring even more disaster to the grain producing and fruit producing states in the USA as they are hit with ever increasing severe catastrophes.

What the U.S. government is not telling people, is that the animals who’ve survived the flood conditions are at risk from the tainted water supply every bit as much as the human populous.

In other parts of the USA, Father has started numerous fires with Her lightning bolts and devastation is ever increasing in the tinderbox areas that have suffered from lack of rain. It is indeed becoming hell on earth, but is only a taste of what is to come. Soon, the false religious empire will come under fire as people curse Father as a vindictive or nonexistent God.

There will never be a day on the international news cast that speaks of anything good happening on this planet to do with weather or other natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity. Soon, they will question what is causing so much revolt in nature, but some of Dawn Lucifer’s human agents will try to sooth the public awareness by saying it is the earth going through a recycling stage that will eventually even itself out. For many, they will take no notice of the truth of what is about to befall them any more than they did in Noah’s pre-flood era, but all will be infuriated as the world they once knew is no longer hospitable.

Psalm 147:17 “He throws His hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand His cold?”

Who can withstand anything Father decides to throw evil mankind’s way? No one.

Romans 8:7 “For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.”

The “mind-set of the flesh” but not that of a true spiritual believer who bridles his or her body and does not permit it to rule over their spiritual mind-set. But since the flesh currently tainted by imperfection cannot inherit the Kingdom of Christ Jesus, it is left behind at the rapture, because as Father says, She is making all things new. The flesh as a whole in mankind is evil not because of the flesh itself, but because of the actions carried out in the flesh that are contrary to what Father expects from Her family of mankind. But those who are no longer alienated from Father have put – not on new flesh, but a new personality instead. The new flesh will come just as it did for Christ Jesus when he manifested in flesh and blood for his disciples to see him once again in human form. Yet, he had not yet ascended to Father to present himself in person as the atonement for mankind, and is why he did not want anyone to cling to him at that time. They had to give up that he would be with them like he had previously been, and recognize that his mission now carried through to his being installed once again next to Father’s throne.

John 20:16-18 “Jesus said, “Mary.” Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” —which means “Teacher.” “Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father—to My God and your God.” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.”

But before Christ Jesus ascended to Father, he went back into the spirit realm to announce the success of his mission to Dawn Lucifer and the fallen angels that they would now be served the platter of eternal death in their assigned time. After that, he went his way to be with Father at Mount Zion.

Colossians 1:21 “And you were once alienated and hostile in mind because of your evil actions.”

Those that serve with Dawn Lucifer as his confederates continue to be alienated from Father, either by choice or indifference to the truth.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 “For you, brothers, became imitators of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, since you have also suffered the same things from people of your own country, just as they did from the Jews. They killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us; they displease God, and are hostile to everyone, hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. As a result, they are always adding to the number of their sins, and wrath has overtaken them completely.”

Father keeps count of sins of those that do not come under the Ransom Sacrifice. Those that interfere with the spreading of the gospel are being overtaken by Father’s bowls of wrath, which in truth is an action to try and open their hearts to the truth, but will spell the cup of wrath if they continue warfare in the flesh against those that serve Father by hindering Her faithful stewards.

The USA is an important pawn in Dawn Lucifer’s hand, and when it falls, it will affect every nation on this planet by its abrupt demise. The EU will grow strong in support, and it will try to resurrect the USA as one of its union members. In this shift of world power the EU will become the superpower it has longed to attain, but it will only be a mere image of what was the beast. Dawn Lucifer will then be forced to shift his mind and energy to making that image of the beast his central pawn against Father’s side on the war chess board. But first, the USA must suffer Father’s bowls of wrath to bring it to its knees. However, this does not rule out the Cherubic Order’s work elsewhere that’s been going on during this tribulation, but the USA will suffer far more than any other country as it is swiftly brought down from on high by Father.

The Spiritual War is fought on two fronts. 1. It is a spiritual battle that involves weather and other related phenomena to cause destruction and widespread desolation. 2. It is fought by using mankind as its own worst enemy. Mankind has helped to bring much of the disasters now happening. Father is simply helping things progress much more quickly. Father is Wisdom. At the crossroads of good verses evil Father took Her stand. Her path had been junction by a road that crossed Hers. There, She took Her stand in defense of Her Sovereignty, the right to rule Her creation exclusively by Her standards. Father’s voice is one of understanding. She is at an unreachable height overlooking the path She wants Her loyal and faithful servants to travel. The crossing is a path that leads to destruction, but Father stands guard to keep Her servants on the straight and narrow path to eternal life. Beside the gates of Mount Zion Father’s voice can be heard by those that have insight and can hear the cry of salvation Father is offering to mankind. You must be shrewd (i.e., having or showing sharp powers of judgment. To be astute to what is going on.)

Michael spoke this and it was borne out in the writings of the Word long ago. Meditate on each verse. From it he imparts wisdom from the Source of all that was taught to him, Yahweh, the Almighty God of all that’s in existence.

Proverbs 8
Wisdom’s Appeal
1 Doesn’t Wisdom call out?
Doesn’t Understanding make her voice heard?

2 At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.

3 Beside the gates at the entry to the city,
at the main entrance, she cries out:

4 “People, I call out to you;
my cry is to mankind.

5 Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.

6 Listen, for I speak of noble things,
and what my lips say is right.

7 For my mouth tells the truth,
and wickedness is detestable to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
none of them are deceptive or perverse.

9 All of them are clear to the perceptive,
and right to those who discover knowledge.

10 Accept my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than pure gold.

11 For wisdom is better than precious stones,
and nothing desirable can compare with it.

12 I, Wisdom, share a home with shrewdness
and have knowledge and discretion.

13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.

14 I possess good advice and competence;
I have understanding and strength.

15 It is by me that kings reign
and rulers enact just law;

16 by me, princes lead,
as do nobles [and] all righteous judges.

17 I love those who love me,
and those who search for me find me.

18 With me are riches and honor,
lasting wealth and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than solid gold,
and my harvest than pure silver.

20 I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,

21 giving wealth as an inheritance to those who love me,
and filling their treasuries.

22 The LORD made me
at the beginning of His creation,
before His works of long ago.

23 I was formed before ancient times,
from the beginning, before the earth began.

24 I was brought forth
when there were no watery depths
and no springs filled with water.

25 I was brought forth
before the mountains and hills were established,

26 before He made the land, the fields,
or the first soil on earth.

27 I was there when He established the heavens,
when He laid out the horizon on the surface of the ocean,

28 when He placed the skies above,
when the fountains of the ocean gushed forth,

29 when He set a limit for the sea
so that the waters would not violate His command,
when He laid out the foundations of the earth.

30 I was a skilled craftsman beside Him.
I was His delight every day,
always rejoicing before Him.

31 I was rejoicing in His inhabited world,
delighting in the human race.

32 And now, [my] sons, listen to me;
those who keep my ways are happy.

33 Listen to instruction and be wise;
don’t ignore it.

34 Anyone who listens to me is happy,
watching at my doors every day,
waiting by the posts of my doorway.

35 For the one who finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the LORD,

36 but the one who sins against me harms himself;
all who hate me love death.”

Being Stuck in How God Used to Do It June 26, 2008

Mark 1:27 “Then they were all amazed, so they began to argue with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

How true is that statement in regards to creation? It is true that much has changed over the past 6,000 years since the world was created and at the same time, in many aspects, nothing has changed. While the world is a much different place in regards to technology, travel, food, clothing and other superficial things, it is people themselves who have barely changed at all. There are still the faithful and the rebellious, the righteous and the unrighteous, the lost and the searching. There is still good and evil.

People have really not changed so much in comparison to how they were in Christ’s day. Even in our own ministry for Father and Christ, in which we deliver the Kingdom Message of Salvation, we are met with controversy and people who immediately disbelieve because it’s something that they themselves have never heard or seen before which is for the most part due to inexperience or ignorance.

Proverbs 9:6 Leave inexperience behind, and you will live; pursue the way of understanding.

The scriptures tell us to leave inexperience behind and to pursue the way of understanding. But what is required to gain understanding if it is something you’re unfamiliar with? The answer is the Holy Spirit

In my opinion, one of the most wonderful things about our heavenly Father is that She is always there to teach us something new and help us understand – if only we ask.

Have you not noticed how NEW covenants were made in the Scriptures?

Jeremiah 31:31 [ The New Covenant ] “Look, the days are coming”—[this is] the LORD’s declaration—”when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

Or a NEW way of life shown?

Matthew 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Romans 7:6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

The NEW events that were prophesied and then unfolded?

Isaiah 42:9 The past events have indeed happened. Now I declare new events; I announce them to you before they occur.”

Isaiah 48:6 You have heard it. Observe it all. Will you not acknowledge it? From now on I will announce new things to you, hidden things that you have not known.

We are even told that there will be NEW ways in the future, in Christ’s Kingdom.

Matthew 26:29 But I tell you, from this moment I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in My Father’s kingdom with you.”

And that a NEW heaven and a NEW earth will be formed.

Isaiah 65:17 [ A New Creation ] “For I will create a new heaven and a new earth; the past events will not be remembered or come to mind.”

Isaiah 43:19 Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

How stuck are you in how God used to do it? Do you allow for change and possibilities to touch your heart with the help of the Holy Spirit; pushing aside the old to make way for the new? Are you open to learning new things so that you may grow spiritually or does new = wrong in your mind?

Matthew 18:3 “I assure you,” He said, “unless you are converted and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”.

We are also told in the scriptures, to become like children; to have the faith of a child. Children do not know the possible from the impossible or the new from the old. They only know what feels right to them in their hearts. When they see that the sky is blue, they do not think to themselves that it’s impossible, they simply ask why it is so that they can gain understanding.

Creation, in as much as it has remained the same, is always changing. There is always something new to be learned, experienced or shared. Feeling that you are wise in your own understandings of how Father works is prideful and stunts your spiritual growth. Never discount anything but instead, turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance and understanding. Do not become stuck in how God used to do it, but instead move forward, always in pursuit of understanding and the true wisdom that only comes from God.

Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is supreme – so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.

Searching for Truth June 15, 2008

In a word where truth has been twisted and turned and the Scriptures have been mistranslated and people have been misled – searching for the truth is like searching for a needle in a haystack. But it IS there!

Our ministry works diligently to share the truth we have been enlightened with, with all who will listen with an open heart. We diligently seek to reach those who are still searching or who are lost and needing to find their way back home.

One of my current favorite songs is by a band named Leeland, titled “Tears of Saints” because it speaks so clearly of the situation we find ourselves in today. In part it goes like this:

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In its state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

This truly is an emergency, because there is not much time left. We currently find ourselves in the midst of the Tribulation. The media is full of reports of trouble all over the world. And yet so many are still blind to what is going on around them.

What is important for us all to remember is that truth is a double edged sword in that it is not all about Father’s love for us, or our love for Father. It is also about declaring Christ as our Lord and Savior and remaining obedient and faithful. Father’s love is what prompted the warnings we have all received in regards to Her coming wrath. But Father’s love is not what will save us.

I’ve written before about the Shepherds that have become household names that preach love and prosperity and leave out Father’s wrath and coming judgment. I believe that this does an injustice to their congregations, leading them to believe that love is all you need to attain eternal life when that is not so. I’ve also written before about remaining faithful and completely surrendering yourself to Father’s will, placing you love for Father above all else. I’ve written about the lies that Satan has fostered and the importance of prayer and meditation. I’ve shared insight as to the inner workings of the Spirit Realm and the Spiritual War that rages around us.

Together, the ministers of our ministry and I have all shared the importance of Accepting Rebuke and Counsel, Humility, Forgiveness, Patience, Endurance, and standing steadfast in the face of opposition. In our Kingdom Message of Salvation we have shared what is required for Salvation – all these things are so very important in relation to what is to come.

If you’re searching for truth I implore you – read what we have to say with an open heart. In prayer, seek Father’s Holy Spirit to help you to understand and do not lean on your own understanding, or the understanding of Shepherds that preach love and prosperity only.

When the world begins to realize what is in fact happening, and that the very things that we have warned about have come into fruition and that the wrath and judgment has come upon us, we pray that you remember what we have shared with you and accept these truths into your heart.

Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore,
with truth like a belt around your waist,
righteousness like armor on your chest,
and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.
In every situation take the shield of faith,
and with it you will be able to extinguish
the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word.
With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and stay alert in this, with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.

In Yahweh’s Own Timing June 7, 2008

Probably one of the most controversial topics argued about amongst Christians and non-Christians alike, is whether or not the world was created in 7 actual 24-hour days. What might actually top that argument, is whether or not Armageddon will actually occur.

For the most part, those who are warned of the coming wrath, but that don’t believe that Armageddon will actually occur, respond by saying, “People have been saying it’s the end of the world for 2,000 years, and it hasn’t happened yet!”

Let’s take a look at this using the Scriptures.

Psalm 75:2 “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.”

I love this scripture, because it asks us to recognize that Yahweh is the keeper of time, not us. It says when I choose a time. Yahweh does all things in Her own time. She is consistent and has never at a single point in all of history not come through with something She said She would do.

The following scripture goes in to more detail:

Ecclesiastes 3
The Mystery of Time
There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven:
a time to give birth and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to uproot;
a time to kill and a time to heal;
a time to tear down and a time to build;
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance;
a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing;
a time to search and a time to count as lost;
a time to keep and a time to throw away;
a time to tear and a time to sew;
a time to be silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain from his struggles? I have seen the task that God has given people to keep them occupied. He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy the good life. It is also the gift of God whenever anyone eats, drinks, and enjoys all his efforts. I know that all God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of Him. Whatever is, has already been, and whatever will be, already is. God repeats what has passed.

While this scripture is full of nutrition, there are two things I’d like to point out. One, “He has made everything appropriate in its time”. We are warned over and over again in the scriptures of Yahweh’s wrath. In fact, the word wrath is mentioned 164 times in the scriptures. For anyone to say that we have not been warned, or that Yahweh does not have a wrathful side, is purely blindness on their part.

Psalm 90:11 “Who understands the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.”

Yahweh has stored Her anger for a very long time with ultimate and perfect patience. And, just as Yahweh has said that She will display Her anger, She has also promised that once it is over she will no longer be angry. Yahweh has done this, so that we may see that following anyone else’s ways aside from Hers, specifically Satan’s, simply does not work.

Ezekiel 16:42 “So I will satisfy My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be silent and no longer angry.”

And the second portion of the Ecclesiastes verses that I’d like to point out is, “God repeats what has passed.” This can be specifically seen in the stories told in the scriptures. The books of Revelation or Daniel aren’t the only places where one can read about the coming wrath. As an example, the Great Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah and the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt are all telling the story of a judgment period and wrath that came upon large groups of mankind. They, and others, are all indicative of how Yahweh repeats what has passed.

So, to sum up this little article, everything happens in Yahweh’s own timing. Yahweh’s timing is without fault, as She knows the beginning from the end. What She has said will happen in the future has been shown to us in the past. And, because She is a loving God She has warned us in many ways but primarily through the Scriptures. She has shared volumes of guidance and given ample warnings. To assume that because it’s taken longer than we, as mere humans, have expected for Her wrath to be poured out, does not mean it will not happen. It will simply happen in Her. Own. Time.

All Roads Do Not Lead to God May 29, 2008

2 Timothy 4:3 “For a time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new.”

In today’s society, where political correctness has replaced truth, the myth of all religions leading to God has become more and more acceptable. In fact, if you suggest otherwise it actually makes people angry. As pointed out in the above scripture, many people simply will not tolerate it. But the truth of the matter is that this is a myth. If all religions led to God, it wouldn’t have been written at Matthew 7:14, How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.”

In the book of Exodus, Moses played an integral part in freeing the Jews from slavery from the Egyptians, who worshiped other gods. So, logically speaking, if every religion led to God, there would be no need of anyone to be freed or saved.

At John 8:31-32 it is written, “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

In today’s day and age, like the Jews in the book of Exodus, we again find ourselves surrounded by people who worship other gods, or, if they worship Yahweh, the Almighty God as Christians, they have been spoon fed falsehoods mixed with truth by the Shepherds that lead them. Many are also under the impression that if they are just a good person, they will go to heaven while others, like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, believe that only a mere 144,000 will make it to heaven.

In a past blog, I wrote about how things will soon change and why our message is so important. I again find myself reiterating this because with each day that passes our message becomes more and more urgent.

Very soon, there will come a time when things will get so bad here on earth as we continue through the Tribulation, that religious communities will be turned on and houses of worship will be under attack by those turning on them. It will be then, more than ever, that the myth of all religions leading to God will rear its ugly head.

We have been given examples of how to stand steadfast in our faith in the face of adversity and those who wish to harm or kill our physical vessels (bodies). These examples extend all throughout the scriptures and not only in the New Testament. Christ, gave the more prominent example in how he suffered and died for our sins, but his disciples also went on to give examples as they were faced with floggings, jail, and eventually their own deaths for what they steadfastly believed.

That’s why it is so important to know, understand and believe with every fiber of our being that not all religions lead to God. And, when the time comes, we must stand with Father and Christ in truth and voice Christ as King even if it means the death of our physical vessels. If we do not stand firm in faith even in the threat of death, we will lose out in the hope of eternal life.
