Our God is a Triune God

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26).





The God we worship is one God, existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The term “Godhead” is mentioned in the Bible three times:


“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.” (Acts 17:29).


“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20).


“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians 2:9).

the Hebrew alef-beis

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Cor 4:6-7

This year, the Temple Institute has produced pure olive oil fit for use in the Menorah of the Temple for what it says is the first time in two thousand years.The earthenware flasks made to contain the oil were produced by an artisan from the settlement of Ofra (fawn), in the west bank. In ofra, is an organic olive grove where the olives were harvested and processed without the use of metal, and the oil stored inside them was sealed with a silicone plug which will maintain the oil’s pure status.

There is a symmetry in the Menorah, the light in the temple of God, with its central lampstand “And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side (Ex. 25:32). Zechariah speaks of a similar Lampstand, with a bowl on top of it and two olive trees beside it. In the temple, the lamps were fueled by pure, specially prepared olive oil. The lampstand Zechariah saw in his vision was fed straight from the two trees.

Zechariah asked for an explanation of the vision:So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?" Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord." So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it! Zech.4

In Zechariah Chpter 3 the Lord spoke of the importance of purity to Zechariah. Now Zerubbabel was a leader of the first ones who came out of Babylon to build the temple of the Lord, at the time when Cyrus came in. Purity in itself is not enough to accomplish the work of the Lord. When we trust in our own resources - whether they be small or great in the eyes of man - then we don't enjoy the full supply of the Spirit. "Oh! May God send us poverty; may God send us lack of means, and take away our power of speech if it must be, and help us only to stammer, if we may only thus get the blessing. Oh! I rave to be useful to souls, and all the rest may go where it will." (Spurgeon).

Everything is by the very spirit of God that lives in the hearts of all believers,and He speak of His own but brings to us the things of Christ,even telling us of the things to come. He declares the end from the beginning. As the scripture says, until one comes to Christ, the scriptures are veiled, but when one comes to Christ, the veil is taken away.

Saints, a very dear one to me, related a dream of the other night, in which everywhere she looked was the word Tau. it was on the buildings and all the billboards, and Tau has no real meaning to her. Tau is the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alef-beis. The Jewish people believe that, as a carpenter employs tools to build a home, so G-d utilized the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the alef-beis, to form heaven and earth. They call the alef-beis the letters of light.

Genesis 22, is the account of Abraham taking Isaac to Mount Moriah to offer as a sacrifice. Psalms 22, is a prophetic account of the crucifiction of Christ. Many have heard that YHWH,or Yahweh, Yud Hei Vav Hei literally means behold the hand, behold the nail (vav, or wav); The Name of God all rolled up in the hand and the nail. Isa.22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.(Vs,22)And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. Isa 22:23-24. Rev. 22, the last chapter. vs.7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. vs. 12-14, And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

After the first three letters, the fourth letter of the Hebrew alef-beis is Dalet. Dalet has the meaning the poor man, receives charity from the rich man, the gimel. The word dalet means “door.” The door stands in the opening of the house, the beit. Even its form is of a man bending over to touch a man. Jewish Sages teach: “If not for God’s help he [man] would not have been able to overcome it [the evil inclination].” The Talmud describes a situation where one man is carrying a heavy object and another man appears to be helping him by placing his hands under the object, when in truth the first man is carrying all the weight. The second man is referred to as “a merely apparent helper.” So are we, explains the Ba’al Shem Tov, in relation to God. Ultimately, all one’s strength comes from Above. Free choice is no more than the expression of one’s will to participate, as it were, in the Divine act. One merely places one’s hands under the weight carried exclusively by God. After two more letters, the seventh letter, is Zayin,and it signifies a woman of Valor, and she is her husbands crown.“Who is a good woman? She who does her husband’s will.” The seventh letter, She is the "Shabbat Queen", the bride of Christ. She has oil for her lamp. It is best for us to put ourselves in the right hand of God, Jesus Christ. Even the alphabet of the word speaks of the word of God, Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, the Son of God, the light of the world, and our only hope. What a glorious and a blessed hope He is. Praise You, Lord and God.

The last letter or seal of the word emet, “truth,” itself – the seal of God’s seal – is the letter tau, simple faith, the conclusion and culmination of all twenty-two forces – letters – active in Creation. Tau represents Covenant or seal. In him (Christ) you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Saints, God is working in you to will and to do according to His good pleasure, by His Spirit, through His letters of light. Alef, the very first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a Yod above connected by a diagonal Vav to aYod below. Vav is the connection, it is the light that came down, it is the nail.

A Hebrew perspective: In Biblical Hebrew, the letter vav possesses the function of inverting the apparent tense of a verb to its opposite from past to future or from future to past (vav hahipuch). The first appearance of this type of vav in the Torah is the letter vav” which begins the ((twenty-second word)) of the account of Creation, “And God said….” This is the first explicit saying of the ten sayings of Creation: “And G d said [the verb ‘said’ being inverted from the future to the past tense by the vav at the beginning of the word–‘And’( He declares the end from the beginning)]: ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” The phenomenon of light breaking through the darkness of the tzimtzum, creation itself, is itself the secret of time (future becoming past) which permeates space.

In the Divine service of a Jew, the power to draw from the future into the past is the secret of teshuvah (“repentance” and “returning to God”) from love. Through teshuvah from fear, one’s deliberate transgressions become like errors; the severity of one’s past transgressions becomes partially sweetened, but not completely changed. However, when a Jew returns in love, his deliberate transgressions become like actual merits, for the very consciousness of distance from God resulting from one’s transgressions becomes the motivating force to return to God with passion even greater than that of one who had never sinned.

Because of Love, God sent His only Son, His right hand, the light of the world, the only One who never sinned, to be His Lamb, Our blood sacrifice, who took the nail which joins us to Him,by the Spirit of God, Because No one can say Jesus is Lord but By the Spirit. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Cor 4:6-7

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.


For those watching. Ancient phoenicia also had an alphabet with 22 letters,and its 22nd letter was also the letter Tau. Make sure your faith and your Holy Spirit is leading you into the things of Christ, the word of God made flesh. Listen to Him. Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega,the beginning and the end, the one who was who is and is to come. This babe, whose birth we SHOULD celebrate, every day, Is the beginning and the end and came in the center of time. He is the lampstand before the Most Holy place, that was unveiled by His blood, and the nail, that connects. And He is the bowl at the center from whom we receive life and go from Glory to Glory, by the very Spirit of God. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

For those who incessantly send me sites to teach me the right name to call Him, I Call Him, My Heavenly Father, because He told me to, and His spirit is my witness. Abba, Father, who purchased us from among men as Children and as His Bride. I receive your condemnation and forgive you. Only by the blood and the nail and His grace is our blessed Hope sure. It was declared from the beginning.

In a recent poll, Pope Francis, leader of the world’s nearly 1.1 billion Catholics, enjoys broad support across much of the world. Francis’ strongest support comes from Europe, where a median of 84% offer a favorable rating. Prophecy is being fulfilled and soon we will be with Him.

God Will Make A Way

Don’t See How? God Will Make A Way

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)

You may be facing a dead end right now — financial, emotional, or relational — but if you will trust God and keep on moving in faith, even when you don’t see a way, he will make a way.


It will become more understandable as you head down the path he sets before you, but understanding is not a requirement for you to start down the path. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day” (NIV). One day you will stand in the full light of eternity and view the big picture. You’ll see God’s purpose behind the path he specifically chose for you.

In the meantime, do what Proverbs 3 says: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Be patient. God knows what he’s doing. God knows what is best for you. He can see the end result. You can’t. All those problems, heartaches, difficulties and delays — all the things that make you ask “why” — will one day be clear in the light of God’s love.

But for now, we’re learning to trust God.
HE WILL MAKE YOUR CROOKED PLACES STRAIGHT!!! NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE OR LIMIT GOD ALMIGHTY!! AMEN, GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Teaching by the teacher appointed by God

Three Biblical Judgements 




It is fairly well known that scripture mentions three judgments in connection with the body of Christ.

The first judgment is past tense , and has already happened once for all believers.

This first judgment is concerning the sins of a believer which were judged approximately 2000 years ago in Christ upon the Cross.

" Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me HAS everlasting life, and shall NOT COME into judgment, but has passed from death into life ".

John 5 v 24.

Notice the first part of the verse here , that due to faith in Christ , the believer HAS everlasting life NOW , therefore he will NOT come into judgment at any time in the future.

The second part of the verse is clear , the believer has passed from death to LIFE.

As believers we are ESTABLISHED in the life of Christ.

" Who Himself BORE OUR SINS in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed ".

1 Peter 2 v 24.

The sins of a believer having been borne by Christ on the cross , are , as far as God is concerned , no longer in existence.

Put another way -

" To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood ".

Revelation 1 v 5b.

The sins of believers have been literally washed away by the blood of Christ.

Talking about God's will , the writer to the Hebrews says -

" By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE for all.

Hebrews 10 v 10.

Christ's sacrifice was perfect , and will never be repeated , He offered Himself ONCE for all.

" For by one offering He has PERFECTED FOREVER those who are being sanctified ".

Hebrews 10 v 14.

" God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their trespasses to them ".

2 Corinthians 5 v 19.

In Christ the believers trespasses will never be imputed to them , because they were judged and removed 2000 years ago.


" For He made Him who knew no sin , to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5 v 21.

Today in Christ , the believer stands before God with no fear of any future judgment for sins , for they were all laid upon Christ , our Scapegoat , and he was judged in our place , approximately 2000 years ago.

The second judgment is present tense , and is the chastisement of the Lord , which is being experienced now by ALL believers while we sojourn here below.

The scripture says -

" For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged ".

1 Corinthians 11 v 31.

In other words , during our walk with the Lord there are occasions when we sin , but if we judge ourselves and confess the sin to the Lord , the scripture says -

" If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness ".

1 John 1 v 9.

But there are occasions when a believer will not confess his sins to the Lord.

In which case we come under the Lord's judgment.

"But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may NOT be condemned with the
world ".

Notice here that judgment ONLY occurs when we fail to confess our sins.

The good news is that as believers , when we are judged by the Lord , we are chastened by him , so that we may NOT be condemned with the world.

For example if a believer is in a situation where they are treating others disrespectfully despite being convicted by the Holy Spirit , and they continue to harden their heart and carry on behaving badly , then the Lord will put them in a situation where someone else treats them in the same way that they treat others.

Speaking specifially to Christians the apostle Paul said -

" Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap ".

Galatians 6 v 7.

Yet as believers we should never be discouraged when we fall under the chastisement of the Lord.

For his chastisement is a practical demonstration of his love for us.

“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives ".

Hebrews 12 v 5b - 6.

The Lord's chastisement is proof positive that we are his true children.

" But if you are without chastening, of which ALL have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons ".

Hebrews 12 v 8.

Scripture also makes it clear that the Lord's chastisement is for own benefit and growth.

" For our natural parents indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but he FOR OUR PROFIT , that we may be partakers of His holiness ".

Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12 v 10 - 11.



Finally there is a third judgment that concerns the body of Christ.

This is yet future , and concerns the WORKS of all believers , which shall be tried to determine their quality , and as a result our rewards.

Speaking to Christians only the apostle Paul says -

" For we must all appear before the judgment seat ( bema ) of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad ".

2 Corinthians 5 v 10

The phrase " Judgment seat " in Greek is one word " Bema ".

Originally this was a raised platform at the Greek games where the judges would place a victor's crown ( stephanos ) upon the head of those who were victorious in the various athletic events.

In other words it was a place where an overcomer would receive a reward.

And this is how Paul uses it in the verses we are looking at in this little study.

The victor's crown or stephanos was a wreath made out of things like wild olive , laurel , parsley and pine.

When we appear before Christ's bema we will be standing secure on the foundation that was laid for us by God.

" For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid , which is Jesus Christ ".

1 Corinthians 3 v 11.

And one day after we have been raptured , we will watch as all the things that we have done for Christ while in our physical bodies , that we thought were acceptable to the Lord , will come before His Bema to be scrutinised by fire.

" Now if anyone builds upon this foundation with gold silver precious stones , wood , hay , straw , each man's work will become clear , for the day will declare it , because it will be revealed by FIRE and the fire will test each man's work , of what sort it is ".

1 Corinthians 3 v 12 - 13.

Those who have served Christ selflessly and for His glory will find that these works will survive the test of God's holy fire and as a result will receive a reward.

If anyone's work which he has built on it endures , he will receive a reward.

1 Corinthians 3 v 14.

Whereas those who have been motivated by selfish ambition rather than devotion to Christ will be surprised on that day.

For although while on earth they may have justified certain wrong attitudes and refused to respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Yet as these works come into contact with God's purifying fire , the secret motives behind them will result in the failure of these works to survive God's purifying fire.

If anyone's work is BURNED , he will suffer loss , but he himself WILL BE SAVED , yet so AS THROUGH FIRE ".

1 Corinthians 3 v 15.

If we desire to receive a reward at this time then it is important to realise that while here on earth we are workers together with him ( 2 Corinthians 6 v 1 ).

This principle is clearly seen in the life of the apostle Paul who said -

" By the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me ".

1 Corinthians 15 v 10.

" I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me ".

Colossians 1 v 29.

Paul labored diligently in the sure knowledge that he was not doing his own thing , but that he was doing the works in the power of the Holy Spirit that God had before ordained for him to walk in.

" For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath BEFORE ORDAINED that we should walk in them ".

Ephesians 2 v 10.

This is a part of finding our identity in Christ as we learn how to work out our individual salvation before God.

" Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who WORKS IN YOU , both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Philippians 2 v 12b - 13.

So then if we build using the right materials which are described as gold , silver , and precious stones , scripture reveals that we can confidently anticipate receiving rewards on that day.

But what type of rewards can we expect to receive ?
Well just like the athletes in the Greek games , the New Testament speaks of crowns that will be awarded to us based upon our faithfulness to the Lord while on earth.

There are different crowns ( Stephanos ) awarded for different reasons.

For example , in 1 Corinthians , referring to the Isthman games the apostle Paul says -

" Do you not know that those who run in a race all run but only one receives the prize ? Run in such a way that you may win ".

1 Corinthians 9 v 24.

Paul here is comparing believers to athletes running in a race.

As believers we don’t compete against each other , we run against our three enemies –

The world , the flesh , and the devil , and their various manifestations.

To each individual is held out the promise that with the Lord’s help they are able to win the stephanos that is awarded to believers that run and win their individual life’s race.

This stephanos is called - The imperishable stephanos.

The next verse says –

" Everyone who competes in the games exercises self control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable crown , but we an IMPERISHABLE ".

1 Corinthians 9 v 25.

There is also a stephanos for every believer who longs to see the Lord.

" Finally, there is laid up for me the CROWN of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to ALL who have loved His appearing.

2 Timothy 4 v 8.

Then there is the crown of life promised to those who love the Lord and demonstrate their love practically by enduring temptation.

" Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the CROWN of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

James 1 v 12.

This verse probably has a double application.

For the person enduring temptation will be crowned with a quality of life while still here on earth , as well as being awarded a stephanos of life at Christ's Bema.

And there is also a martyr's crown of the same name , Jesus said to the Christians at Smyrna -

" Be faithful until death, and I will give you the CROWN of life ".

Revelation 2 v 10b.

Finally there is the shepherd's crown , the crown of glory.

" And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the CROWN of glory that does not fade away ".

1 Peter 5 v 4.

But of what use will they be to us when we are in heaven ?

After being caught up into heaven the apostle John beheld the throne of God and –

" I saw twenty four elders sitting clothed in white garments and golden crowns ( Stephanos ) on their heads ".

Revelation 4 v 4.

This heavenly gold will obviously be imperishable.

The question may be asked , why would a believer want a tangible reward in heaven like a golden stephanos ?

The answer to this question is found further on in this same chapter.

The twenty four elders will fall down before Him that sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever and WILL CAST their crowns before the throne saying.

Worthy are you our Lord and our God to receive glory honor and power for you created all things and because of your will they existed and were created.

Revelation 4 v 10 – 11.

Notice that here in heaven glorified believers are using their rewards to worship God with , as they fall down before His throne and worship Him with words they also cast their golden stephanos before Him.

Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

This of course means disqualified for a prize , or prizes , and not disqualified from salvation.

Meaning of being Born Again 

Here is a little study which attempts to explain the meaning of Jesus words about being " born again ".

Seeing how the bible describes the Lord Jesus as the prophet who is like Moses.

Therefore It is fitting that when He is giving an example from scripture to explain what it actually means to be born again , he takes his example from the life of Moses.

Jesus while speaking to Nicodemus says -

" Jesus answered and said to him , “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3 v 3.

Nicodemus then questions Jesus -

" Nicodemus said to Him ,“HOW can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

John 3 v 4.

Jesus answers his question by simply saying the same thing again , but in more detail , by mentioning that it is necessary to be born -

Of water ( natural birth ).

And of the Spirit ( new birth ).

" Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God ".

1 John 3 v 5.

Jesus next statement , which is also a part of the explanation makes clear what he meant by the phrase -

" Water and the spirit ".

" That which is born of the flesh ( natural birth ) is flesh

And that which is born of the Spirit ( new birth ) is spirit ".

John 3 v 6.

Jesus then explains how the Holy Spirit moves in the life of one who is born again -

" Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit ".

John 3 v 7 - 8.

Sadly Nicodemus is still struggling with this concept of new birth as explained by Jesus.

Although the actual concept itself was familiar to him because the Jews used to apply the phrase " reborn " to certain events in a person's life.

For example the Talmud -

" Rabbi Yose said -

" One who has become a proselyte is like a child newly born.”

b.Yeuamot 48b.

Jesus is now using this concept to explain an event far more important than any other event that it was applied to up until then.

But Nicodemus is really struggling to comprehend.

" Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “HOW can these things be ".

John 3 v 9.

" Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness , If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

John 3 v 10 - 12.

Jesus continues -

" No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is , the Son of Man who is in heaven.

And then Jesus gives an illustration from the life of Moses to demonstrate exactly what it means to be born again -

" And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved ".

John 3 v 14 - 16.

Looking at this example in the book of Numbers that Jesus used to illustrate how a person can become born again , we see that the people of Israel are rebelling against God in the wilderness.

" And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”

Numbers 21 v 5,

" So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died ".

Numbers 21 v 6.

The people are humbled by this judgment and confessing their sin they ask Moses to pray to the Lord to take away the serpents.

" Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.”

So Moses prayed for the people ".

Numbers 21 v 7.

The Lord heeds Moses prayer but instead of taking away the serpents he instructs Moses -

“Make a fiery serpent , and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”.

Numbers 21 v 8.

So now although there were still serpents in the camp of the Israelites , yet the Lord's solution was also among them.

" So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived ".

Numbers 21 v 9.

Every time someone was bitten by a snake , all they had to do was look up at the fiery serpent on the pole, believing that this was God's provision and they were healed.

Although this event actually happened exactly as recorded , yet it is also a picture of what happened in the Garden of Eden , where our first parents rebelled against God's command.

As a result of their rebellion they too were bitten by a snake ( satan ) , and therefore death was passed down to all mankind.

Again the Lord has not removed the snake bite from mankind but he has provided the solution here among us , for as we have seen the Lord Jesus has assured us that -

" And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3 v 14.

The Israelites never had to do anything , there was actually nothing they could do , having been bitten they were in the process of dying.

All they were required to do was to look up at this fiery serpent hanging upon a pole and BELIEVE that it was God's provision for their healing.

So it is today , there is nothing a person can do to stop themselves from dying and slipping into a lost eternity.

It is only by looking at Jesus lifted up on the cross being punished for our sins and BELIEVING that he died in our place will we receive everlasting life.

This is confirmed by other verses which speak of being born again.

" But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name:

Which were BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, BUT OF GOD ".

John 1 v 12 - 13.

Notice here that those who are born of God are those who have simply received Christ and believed on his name.

We see this again in another place -

" Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God ".

1 John 5 v 1a.

All men get this opportunity for Jesus himself said -

" And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL MEN unto me ".

John 12 v 32.

The Unforgivable sin

The Rabbis at the time of Jesus were aware that according to scripture certain signs would accompany the arrival of the Messiah.

The healing of the blind , the deaf , the lame, and the dumb.

These things were based on the following scriptures -

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.

Isaiah 35 v 5 - 6a.

And also the healing of the leper

The law stated that whenever a leper was cured of his leprosy he was to be presented to the priest and was then to undergo a certain ritual , which began on the first day and then continued on the seventh and the eighth day. ( Leviticus 14 ).

This had never happened before in Israel , Miriam had been cleansed from leprosy but that was in the wilderness.

Naaman the Syrian had been cleansed of leprosy and then returned to Syria.

But since the building of the first Temple and onward no one had ever gone there and presented them self to the officiating priests and said -

" I was a leper , but now I'm cured , could I please undergo the ceremony of the cleansed leper prescribed in the law of Moses.

Until of course when Jesus came.

After healing a leper Jesus said to him -

“See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a TESTIMONY to them.”

Mark 1 v 44.

So the man arrived at the Temple with two birds which were used in the ritual for a cleansed leper and asked the priests to perform this ritual for him.

Jesus said that this was a testimony to them , a testimony of what ?

A testimony that Jesus was the Messiah , for apparently they believed that the healing of the leper was a miracle that would only be done by the Messiah when he arrived.

When Jesus began his ministry he clearly demonstrated that he was the long awaited Messiah for he did the works of the Messiah.

When John the baptist sent a message to Jesus from prison asking him if he was the Messiah , Jesus sent a message back to John saying -

" The BLIND see and the LAME walk; the LEPERS are cleansed and the DEAF hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them ".

Matthew 11 v 5.

Jesus testimony was that he was working the works of the Messiah by the power of the Holy Spirit.

" Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not , THE WORKS that I do in my Father's name, they BEAR WITNESS of me.

John 10 v 25.

The following verse shows that the WORKS of Jesus ALONE should have been enough to convince the religious authorities that Jesus was the Messiah.

Because they believed that these particular miracles were ONLY going to be performed by the the Messiah when he arrived.

" If I had not done among them the works which NONE OTHER man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father ".

John 15 v 24.

Then after he worked a certain miracle upon a blind and mute man -

" Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw ".

Matthew 12 v 22.

The people naturally react by stating the obvious. -

" And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David " ?

Matthew 12 v 23.

As we know the Holy Spirit was with Jesus convicting the hearts of those who heard his words and saw his works that he was indeed the Messiah.

The Pharisees here have a dilemma , for according to their own beliefs Jesus is doing the works of the Messiah.

They cannot deny that Jesus is doing the works of the Messiah.

So despite the evidence before their eyes of the works of the Messiah and the conviction of the Holy Spirit working upon their hearts they say -

" This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. "

Matthew 12 v 24b.

The job of the Holy Spirit is to convict man that Jesus is the Messiah.

By attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Beelzebub they were rejecting the testimony of the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the Messiah.

By rejecting Jesus as the Messiah they are committing the unforgivable sin.

For Jesus himself said -

" I am the way the truth and the life NO MAN comes to the Father but by me ".

John 14 v 6.

Today the Holy Spirit is everywhere present all of the time , and his work is to convict people that Jesus is the Messiah.

Speaking of the coming of the Holy Spirit Jesus put it this way -

" And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin ( singular ) , of righteousness and of judgment ".

John 16 v 8.

What is this singular sin that the Holy Spirit has come to convict the world about ?

" Of sin, because they do NOT believe in Me "

John 16 v 9.

Today anyone in the world who rejects Christ when they are under the conviction of the Holy Spirit is in the process of committing the unforgiveable sin.

And if they die in that state then they will be lost forever.

Jesus summed it up with these words -

" He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him ".

John 3 v 36.

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty

By Joshua Adams
December 14 


Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will behold a far-distant land Isa 33:17

now we see in a mirror dimly, then face to face; now we know in part, but then we will know fully just as we also have been fully known. The Lord knows those who love Him, those who hunger and thirst after Him; they shall dwell on high, the impregnable rock shall be their high retreat; bread shall be given them, Their water shall be sure. ( 1cor 13: Isa 33)

A part of His beauty was seen by Thomas when our Lord suddenly appeared to them all and said “Peace be with you."
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!”
“My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. Jesus came to Justify sinners. By His wounds we are healed. We live in perilous times and Jesus did not come to justify sin. Be careful how you listen. Remember Lots wife. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

There is a beauty of our lord that is so much more than physical, and true beauty is found in the hearts and minds of God's children. For the house of David, a time is coming soon when one will say unto him, 'What are these wounds in thy hands?' And he hath said, 'Because I was smitten at home by my lovers. God's grace is to the very end. Zech.13

The other night in a dream we were getting on a plane. In the front of the plane were boxes of bibles, and the plane was filled with folding chairs. A young girl got up and spoke of what the Lord had done for her, then someone stood up and asked what is faith?

Now faith is the assurance (substance) of things hoped for, the conviction (evidence) of things not seen. For by it the men of old obtained a good testimony.
By faith we understand that the worlds (literally the ages) were prepared (framed) by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

All these men and women of Faith were willing to suffer, were willing to fight, were willing to be obedient to the word of God in full confidence of the perfection to come that we also have in Christ Jesus, a better resurrection, and a heavenly dwelling. They were willing to turn from the temporary things of this world and the lusts of the flesh preferring the promises of God for something better in Christ. Now we gentiles have this in Him. Christ in us the hope of Glory, a mystery from of old that was only revealed in this age, and we (Gentiles,and Jewish believers) are one with those Holy Ones of old, by faith (col. 1:26-27, Eph. 2:19-22). We are not our own and this is not our home. We are citizens of Heaven, Ambassadors of Christ Jesus our Lord and our God. For now, the church, in the church age, is the administration of this mystery: and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.(eph 3:9-12).

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. May our faith be as those who went before us. May our faith be as the four men who ripped off the roof of the house to get a friend to Jesus, of the centurion who came on behalf of His servant, of the Syro-phoenician woman who came on behalf of her daughter. Pray without ceasing, Jesus is coming soon, and all His Holy ones with Him

Hold onto your blessed hope, for Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; You will behold a far-distant land. I suspect, but can only imagine, that his beauty will be much more than just visible. I suspect His beauty will permeate every particle, visible and invisible of our glorified bodies.

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever (literally for all ages). Amen.

Can we see the Faith?

Tony Padilla


THE LAW OF FAITH (ROMANS 3:27) Faith must be based upon what God has said

NUMBERS 23:19
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken and shall he not make it good?

ISAIAH 14:24
24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

ISAIAH 46:11
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man who executes my council from a far country; yes, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

JEREMIAH 4:28
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

EZEKIEL 12:25
25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, says the Lord GOD.

EZEKIEL 22:14
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.

EZEKIEL 36:36
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that which was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

1 JOHN 5:14-15
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us;
15 And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions we desired of him."

Note: Everyone has faith in something. This is natural faith, but when it comes to faith in God, we are not putting our trust in things we can see, but in an invisible God, and what we believe he has said.
This is possible even in the natural realm. Imagine a man who opens a trap door in the floor of his house and goes down into the cellar. There is no light down there apart from the light that comes through the trap door, and his small daughter comes and shouts to him, "Daddy, are you down there?"
He replies, "Yes, dear."
She asks, "Can I come down there to you?"
He replies, "Yes, dear, just sit on the edge of the trap door and jump, and I will catch you."
The little girl sits on the edge of the trap door and looks down. She sees nothing but darkness. She says, "Daddy, I cannot see you."
He replies, "No, dear, but I can see you, just jump and I will catch you."
Believing the words of her father, whom she cannot see, she jumps into the darkness, and lands safely in his arms.
She had faith in her father's words even though she could not see him, and this is how we need to be with God. The reason why we can base our faith on what God has said is because, as the above scriptures show, he has promised to bring to pass what he has said. Therefore, if he has promised to do a certain thing for us, then providing we fulfil the conditions that he has laid down, he will bring it to pass:

(Numbers 23:19) "God is not a man that he should lie;"
(Titus 1:2) "God ... cannot lie,"

If we base our faith on something other than God's word, such as man's word, or circumstances, or things we can see, then we could have a faulty base, because these things can change. However, God has said, "My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips." (Psalm 89:34), and when we trust in what he has said, we have a sound base because, "he is faithful who promised." (Hebrews 10:23).
AND NOW ABIDE FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE (1 CORINTHIANS 13:13). LOVE & FAITH GO HAND IN HAND!!! PUT YOUR FAITH ON GOD'S WORD ONLY, YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG DOING THIS!!! AMEN!!! JESUS SAID, "HAVE FAITH IN GOD!" AMEN!!

How big is our God ?

Your God is Bigger Than Your Circumstance

Are you facing a giant in your life? Do your circumstances seem overwhelming? Do you fear the future?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, I want to remind you that GOD is bigger and more powerful than any circumstance facing you in this moment. Whatever battle you are in, you stand victorious in the Word of God, the Blood of Jesus, the Power of the Cross, the Authority of Christ, and the Presence of the Holy Spirit.

Claim these verses over your situation:

Ephesians 6:11-17

(Armor of God)

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

…we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world…they have divine power to demolish strongholds…

James 4:7

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 5:8-9

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Luke 10:19

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.

Colossians 2:15

And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

1 John 3:8

…The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

1 John 4:4

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Isaiah 54:17

“…no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.

As you pray, stand on WHO your GOD IS:

God of Salvation

The MOST High God

The same yesterday, today, and tomorrow

The King of kings and Lord of lords

All Consuming Fire

Holy, Holy, Holy

Joy

Faithful One

Wisdom

Author and Finisher of your faith

Spirit of Truth

The Great I AM

My prayer is that when you leave this post today, you will trust your circumstances, big and small to God, claim these Truths and Promises, and REST, knowing God is in control. IF YOU DON'T SEE GOD BIGGER THAN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, THEN YOU ARE LETTING YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES TELL THAT THEY ARE BIGGER THAN YOUR GOD AND YOU WILL BE DEFEATED UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHO GOD REALLY IS!! THAT FOOT THAT HAS BEEN GIVING YOU PROBLEMS IS NOT BIGGER THAN THE GOD WE SERVE!!! WE COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME OF OUR FRIENDS & FAMILY THAT THEY ARE EVIL AND THAT NOTHING COULD EVER MAKE THEM CHANGE WELL THEN YOU DONT KNOW WHO GOD IS!!! THOSE THINGS ARE NOT PROBLEMS TO GOD EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM SO IMPOSSIBLE AND BIG TO US, IF ONLY WE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR CARES IF WE WOULD TRUST HIM AND CAST THEM TO HIM AND NOT WORRY AT ALL ABOUT THEM!!! AMEN & AMEN!!! ONE THING TO REMEMBER THAT IT DOES SAY IN THE WORD OF GOD, THAT THE EARTH IS HIS FOOTSTOOL!! NOW THAT MY FRIENDS IS TELLING ME & YOU HOW BIG GOD IS, SO STOP LIMITING GOD AND SEEING HIM AS A SMALL, & UNRELIABLE!!! HE IS A GOD OF IMPOSSIBILITIES!!! HE SAYS, MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS!! CAUSE OUR LITTLE MIND CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW TRULY BIG AND AWESOME OUR FATHER REALLY IS!! BUT JUST TRY TO IMAGINE AND LET HIM REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU, TODAY!! JUST WATCH & SEE HOW FREE YOU REALLY WILL FEEL AFTER YOU GIVE ALL YOUR CARES TO HIM!!! DON'T TRUST YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, TAKE YOUR EYES OFF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND FIX THEM ON THE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO IS THE CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE AND EVERY PERSON AND THING & IT ALL BELONGS TO HIM!!!!!! GLORY, GLORY, GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!!! AMEN!!! YES!!!

You are a new creation

Your spirit totally changed at salvation!


Upon making Jesus Christ your Lord, your spirit underwent an instant and complete transformation. Typically, your body and soul are both impacted by what happened, but it’s not total, nor complete.


People who don’t understand that the change took place in their spirits and has to work its way out into their souls and bodies are usually quite disappointed. “I thought I’d become a brand-new person. Jesus was going to change everything!” Then unbelief takes hold. “But things didn’t change, and I’m still the same!” Some may seriously doubt whether or not they were saved. Those who do maintain their salvation often lose faith that they’ll ever really experience and enjoy it here in this life.


But the truth is—your spirit has totally changed! You aren’t in the process of trying to get anything from God. Everything you’ll ever need in the Christian life is already present in its entirety in your spirit! At this very moment, your born-again spirit is as perfect and complete as it’ll ever be throughout all eternity. You won’t get a new one when you arrive in heaven, and neither will it need to be matured, completed, or cleaned up from any defilement down here on earth. Your spirit is—right now—as perfect, mature, and complete as Jesus Himself!

EVERYONE on the side of truth listens to Jesus

Joshua Adams



For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Several years ago a pastor with a large church, who had a nice home and nice cars was quickened by the Holy Spirit to sell everything he had, and to go to central America and set up a school for ministers. He was told the ministers down there were getting their messages from American Television and they needed to be taught rightly, The gospel message. He and His wife did as they were told.

Last week, I was taught by television, that to rightly divide the word, meant to recognize that Jesus words and Judes, James and 1-3 John, and 1-2 Peter were for the Jews; that titus and 1-2 Timothy were for Titus and Timothy, and that the gentiles words were in Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. ( philippians 2:21; For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.)

This week i was taught on television that the oil Samuel poured on Davids head represented prosperity, and the bread the Ravens fed Elijah also represented prosperity.
Today I hear a prophet declaring peace and financial increase to individuals, and then telling them to obey the prophet and send in a gift to the ministry.

Saints the Lord is gathering His bride to Himself very soon. I pray our thoughts are on Him and the masses of lost and hurting people in this world that He died for. Where your treasure is there your heart will be also. “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matt. 19:21

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you
to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. 1 Tim 6

Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?”
“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?”
Jesus said, “MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” John 18:33-37 EVERYONE on the side of truth listens to Jesus.

On CNN last week the anchor had a quote of Rev. Franklin Graham posted on the TV. it said. Everything in prophecy is coming to pass, and the Lord is coming very soon. The anchor asked a very popular TV personality what he thought about the statement. He replied, "well it seems as if prophecy is being fulfilled, but who knows whether it will be soon, or in 1000 years?

Saints, those of the day, that day will NOT come on them as a thief in the night. God has declared the end from the beginning, and surely He does nothing without first revealing it to His prophets. God's appointed times are ALL declared in His word.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 1John 2:15-19

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. 1 John 2:26-27 A true teacher and preacher will not appeal to your flesh, but to your Spirit that is hidden in Christ in God, and a true word of knowledge will confirm in you only what you and God know alone. A true prophet of God will exalt the only God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what they say will come true.

PA: We have 7 of 9 Security Council votes needed to force ballot on resolution to end 'occupation'.~~ Russia to support Palestinian bid for Security Council mandate for statehood.~~ UK's Labor party divided ahead of Parliament vote on recognizing Palestinian state.~~ UN chief Ban: Israeli occupation led to Gaza war.~~~ Egypt's Sisi urges Israel to consider Arab peace initiative.~~ Slain Hezbollah chief's son takes command on Israeli border.~~ Jerusalem man stabbed to death possibly over issue of selling homes to Jews .~~ Hamas Threatens: 'We Will Fight for the Temple Mount'.~~ Jordan Blasts Israel for Responding to Riots on Temple Mount.~~ EU Prepares To Impose Crushing Sanctions on Israel.~~ EU to ban dairy products from over the pre-1967 lines as of January.

THE GOOD NEWS; ISIS Crisis Creates Unprecedented Opportunity to Share Christ in Iraq. Praise God!!! If the Lord tarries,( if those days were not shortened even the elect would perish), the next little bit will be the greatest and last opportunity for the bride of Christ, to witness for Christ Jesus. Be true to your calling in Him.

Saints,there are many many verses about God's provisions for His children. Know the times!! Seek First the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Our Lord is telling us we need not even concern ourselves with these things, He knows we need them. He is our provider. There will be a lot of healthy, wealthy and happy people that will miss the rapture of the church, and many of them Will believe the delusion.

Perfect church or seducing harlot ?

Let us not judge another man's servant, because God is able to make them stand who serve him.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; psalms78:2-3 and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. Proverbs1:5

Hebrew scholars and Rabbis recognized that in a text of scripture there were 1) Peshat, the literal, direct meaning; 2) Remez, an allegorical significance; a hint of something deeper; 3) Derash, or practical application; and 4) Sod, the mystical or hidden meaning. And there is much in the meanings of names.

The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal: Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man. Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know! Prov. 30

This proverb is not neccessarily the words of Solomon, but of Agur, Gathered son of Jakeh, Blameless, to Ithiel, God is with us and Ucal, Consumed. When we come as a little child, and the Lord is pleased to reveal his son to us, the most intelligent thing we can say is; I know this, that I know nothing. When Paul was speaking to the galations, he noted how committed He had been to the scriptures and the law,and said; But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood. Christ was revealed IN Paul,and what is this mystery? Christ in us the hope of Glory. And when Saul was struck blind, he said, who are you Lord? Ananias, grace, touched him,and He became Paul,Small.

Saints, if God be for us who can be against us. Though we may suffer for a time yet, Cyrus is coming. Saints when I speak of Cyrus and the restoration of the captivity of Judah, it is to stir you up, because your redemption draws nigh.When i speak of the sons of Tamar and Zerah and Pharez, the house of David, it is because i want you to know we are not appointed unto wrath.Indeed we are the second lampstand/candlestick of Rev 11:4,and that also takes going to scripture to understand.Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, and as Agur said; Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. As Paul said; Let God be true and every man a liar. Agur also said; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God. Do not malign a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty. May we understand God gives Hidden manna, and a new name to some,and He gives something else to others. It is not about us. Let us not judge another mans servant, because God isable to make them stand who serve him.

As Agur also said; The leech has two daughters—Give and Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, Four never say, “Enough!”:The grave, The barren womb, The earth that is not satisfied with water— And the fire never says, “Enough!”

I have a friend right now who moved to another city and He tells me he is having a time finding a church that teaches grace and truth. i tell him, find one that is close and supply what is needed.i have many friends that have entered into relationships only to find ; the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil;
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable; You do not know them. Many men and women have entered relationships, and ministries only to find they were seduced, and it was their covering that was wanted,and some were blinded and found themselves working for the enemy until they got their covering back. As Solomon said; Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house, Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner; And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed, And say: “How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!
I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

A man I dearly love recently was seduced, and suffered great loss.The Lord gave him a dream. he caught a fish and was proudly showing it off, but noticed a tuft of hair where its dorsal fin was.As he was showing it, he looked down and it had turned into a cat. It scratched him and then ran off, only to return purring and rubbing against his legs when it wanted more from him. Saints, there is a Jezebel prophetess, and she does not believe the word of God nor can she ; This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, “I have done no wickedness. Her children with her will enter into great tribulation

We can learn a lot from the captivity of Judah, especially in America; Thus you shall say to them: “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens. For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the LORD; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered. Don't mock what you don't understand, Get understanding. In all your getting, get understanding. Your source is God's word. How Paul labored for the church until Christ was formed in her. Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus,who died for us to sanctify a special people for himself.

To the bride. You desire nothing on this earth, be sure you have done all you can for the kingdom and pray pray pray. To the young ones. Flee your youthful desires ( I am not talking about schooling or jobs or dreams) and remember: What God has for us is better than can be described with words,and many of our brothers and sisters are dying for their faith right now.

Atheists come out of foolishness !

by Joshua Adams

Whenever Israel began rereading the word, there was brokenness, and there was revival, and whenever they neglected the poor the widows and the orphans, there was collapse


Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or paid attention to your commandments and your warnings that you gave them.Nehemiah 9:34

All God has to do is lift His hand of protection, and satan is ready to destroy the whole earth. scripture cannot be broken, but even when satan is cast to this earth, he will be trying to break scripture (Rev 10-12, John 10:35) So why does God allow warnings and also send His prophets?

The LORD, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them through his messengers again and again, because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place.2 Chr 36:15.

Jonathan Cahn, author of the Harbinger, has announced to the world that the evergreen that was planted at the church at ground Zero, when the twin towers fell on 9/11/2001, has died. Though it was given new soil and the best horticulturists available, it withered and died. The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;Isa 9:10-11. Note the verse number 9:11. Rezen in Arabic means prince, and in Hebrew firm,and on that day al quaeda (the base) under the leadership of Osam bin Laden,shocked America and also the world. In fact, as he has pointed out, from 1973 to now, have been many warnings and financially, every 7th year since then has been market with dark, or black stock market days. In the Hebrew calendar, an i also point out not just the numbers including the chapters and verses. but how God is often working fulfillment of the times and the signs on the Hebrew calendar in our days, 2015 is a shmitah year(seventh year of rest for the land), as was 2008, 2001,1993, and so forth.

In 1973, on Jan.22,abortion was legalized in America, the same day Lyndon B.Johnson died. That year brought about the Arab Oil embargo when America began seducing Egypt and Saudi Arabia. TBN was formed and the Yom Kippor war broke out. Pope Francis, then Jorge Bergoglio, visited Jerusalem the only other time in his life before this past May in 1973.In fact it was just a couple of hours after He landed, that theYom Kippor war broke out. (Zech 6:6,8;Rev 6:5-6)

Lets take a short walk back in history;

Jan.24,2014. CNN...Pope Francis has expressed his intention to visit the United States next year for a major meeting of the Roman Catholic Church, CNN Vatican analyst John Allen said Friday, citing Vatican sources. The pope would attend the eighth World Meeting of Families, which has been held every three years since the late Pope John Paul II convened the first such gathering in 1994. The Vatican announced in February that the meeting will be held ((((September 22-27, 2015)), (((in Philadelphia.))

After Pope Francis met with French President François Hollande Friday, a Vatican statement said the two leaders discussed "the family" and "bioethical issues." Hollande signed a gay marriage law in May 2013. In July, Pope Francis said he will not "judge" gays and lesbians, including gay priests, signaling a shift from his predecessor and hinting at a possible change in the Church's approach to historically marginalized groups. "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis said in a wide-ranging news conference aboard the papal plane. The General Assembly of the United Nations generally meets in September, leading to speculation that Francis might combine the Philadelphia trip with a stop in New York to address the U.N., according to Allen, a correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter.

The 70th Regular Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 70) is scheduled to open at UN Headquarters on Tuesday, (((15 September 2015.))) The General Debate is scheduled to open on Tuesday, (((22 September 2015.)))

Sept. 15 of 2015, falls on the last day of the feast of trumpets, and the 22nd isYom Kippor.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, ((((he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:)))) for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. rev 3:7-8

Isa 22:20-23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.And ((((the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open)))). And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

Anne Graham Lotz called for a prayer for America earlier this year. She called it 777, because it was it was to be Jul.1-Jul 7 for 7 hours a day. Few noticed. On July 8,the Gaza war and Israels campaign the protective edge, began. Mrs. Graham Lotz said if her husband had not gotten sick, she did not know if she would have heard theLord's call, and that He IS coming soon. After the war ended, she again called a prayer for Israel. Few noticed.

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die. ”And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Isa 22:12-14.

For twenty years ever since the Lord drew me out of foolishness,i was an atheist.The Lord has been giving me dreams and visions to take to the church. I have written anonymous letters to many church pastors. I have, one time, even sent an anonymous letter to the churches and set a place and a time where we all could meet, but no one came but me and one other guy. I have brought churches together and actually began a community prayer, but from the beginning the pastors, wanted to limit the time, organize the prayers and turned it all into a church function. It was held in different churches each time, but mostly only a handful up to 20-25 would show up, and most of them were from the church that was hosting.

On May 22 of 2013, after my wife had been sick for 6 months, and I have said this many times but will say it again even at the risk of mocking and scoffing, being called delusional, or schitzophrenic; God told me to speak on the times and not the signs. I have done that, even hammering on it so people might see, get ready, prepare and pray and take the great commision seriously, as the first church did. You see, if the times are not right, the signs are insignificant. And there have been MANY signs,even the ones that were for the end.

Where is the house that was to be a house of Prayer? Who answers the Lord's call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth?.These are the days of Elijah, but as it was in the days of Noah. I want you to know church. The time of Jacobs trouble, the 70th weekof Daniels prophecy, the 7 year tribulation period, is not an unknown time period. It is laid out perfectly in Daniel and Revelation.From the time the prince of a people associated with a revised Roman empire of sorts, signs a 7 year (360 day year) treaty with many until the antichrist is 1260 days, and from that time after will be 1290 days and blessed is the one who makes it to the 1335th day. (Daniel 9;12, Rev 11 etc.)

1260 days from Sept.22 2015, is march 4 2019,and 1290 from then is the Eve of Chai Elul, Sept 13 2022 and that is the last 12days of the month of the12th month, in preparation for the days of Awe.It is a time of examining oneself, before the new year and the day of Atonement. the 1335th day, Oct 29, is the eve of Shabbat Noach,the sabbath of Noah. Now our Lord is the Lord of the Sabbath, and 2023, which starts on rosh Hashannah 2022 in our calender,is 6000 years.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.And ((((the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open)))). And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. Isa,22:20-23

ISA 23:13-18 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isa 23:13-18

The relationship of Germany and the United Nations first began during World War II. The United Nations then, was synonymous with the Allies of World War II and Germany then being the Greater German Reich; a member of the Axis powers. With the war ending in the defeat of Germany; the country's territory was divided amongst the victors and what was to remain Germany was under Allied administration. In 1949, two new countries were created in these occupied territories: the Federal Republic of Germany in May and the German Democratic Republic in October. Both Germanys were admitted as full members of the United Nations (UN) on 18 September 1973.The two countries eventually merged on 3 October 1990, signifying an end of the Cold war era. Today, Germany is the third largest contributor to the UN budget. Nov 5, Days before Germany is set to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the way has been cleared for the former communists who ruled East Germany to return to power.

And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia; Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Today Billy Graham is 96 years old and once more he will be bringing the true gospel of the Lord to the world. When Jonathan Cahn gave his warning on TBN, the host of the show, said; now that you have scared us all, tell us something good. Jonathan Cahn said the good thing is that God allows the warnings because he loves us and cares for us and desires we would return to Him . I don't know if that will happen? But I can tell you this, because time is so short our newly elected officials will accomplish nothing.it seems in our lusts for the things of this world, we have turned much of the responsibilities of the church over to the government. Whenever Israel began rereading the word, there was brokenness, and there was revival, and whenever they neglected the poor the widows and the orphans, there was collapse.Anyone without God is an orphan and anyone without Christ is poor and anyone without Christ in them is a widow and is without God.It seemed pretty obvious to this foolish atheist after God pulled me out of ignorance. I was to feed on His word, Christ,I was to allow Him to give me a pure heart, and I was to surrender everything to Him. And it is His great love that compels me to keep the word of His perseverence, even in persecutions. Wake Up Church!!!!!!!

These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.1 Cor 10:11. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,and those of the day,that day will NOT come on them as a thief in the night.

The number of the bride - 84

By Joshua Adams 

In what was heralded as the last sermon of Billy Graham, on Nov 7 2013, Billy Graham again spoke the truth of the gospel in its entirety, about the saving power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then declared; "Our country's in great need of a spiritual awakening" . "There have been times that I've wept as I've gone from city to city and I've seen how far people have wandered from God."

Billy Graham was born on Nov. 7, 1918, Just a small town country boy in North Carolina. When he was 16, he went to an old time revival meeting and surrendered his life to the Lord. 1918, was one year after the 400 years of affliction of the Ottoman empires rule over Jerusalem ended in 1917. The Anglo-French Declaration was signed between France and Great Britain on November 7, 1918, agreeing to implement a "complete and final liberation" of countries that had been part of the Ottoman Empire. That included Jerusalem and Israel. On that day Front page headlines announce that; the war is over and crowds throng the streets in New York and other cities on November 7, 1918 to celebrate...except the United Press report was erroneous and the devastating Great War was not quite over. Armistice was declared four days later on November 11, 1918, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, a day now celebrated as Veterans Day.

Nov 7,1918, was Kislev 3 in the Hebrew calendar, and theTorah portion reading that day was Gen 25:19- 28:9, which begins: And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife; What marked the bride of Isaac was that she was willing,and she did everything that Eliezer asked of her and more. It is difficult for a servant of God when after they have done all they were asked, still see people wandering from God. And they weep because of love.

In 1996, Billy Graham on receiving a reward said; “After World War II…we had the opportunity to rule the world ( 1945;indeed that is the year we began our leadership role;i hope people see the parallel in prophecy) …“Something has happened since those days and there is much about America that is no longer good…the list is almost endless…“We have confused liberty with license – and we are paying the awful price. We are a society poised on the brink of self-destruction…”He continued: “What is the problem? The real problem is within ourselves…“I believe the fundamental crisis of our time is a crisis of the spirit. “We have lost sight of the moral and spiritual principles on which this nation was established – principles drawn largely from the Judeo-Christian tradition as found in the Bible…“What must be done?“ Let me briefly suggest three things. “First, we must repent. In the depths of the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln called for special days of public repentance and prayer. “Our need for repentance is no less today. “What does repentance mean? “Repentance means to change our thinking and our way of living. It means to turn from our sins and to commit ourselves to God and His will.

It seems in this modern day, our idea of repentance just means to change our thinking, that God loves us and He has saved us from our sins. It seems we live in a day not unlike Noahs day who was a preacher of righteousness, and in Jesus day, He said confirming the prophecy of Isaiah. This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the teachings of men.’ Of Billy Graham the prophecy of Isaiah can be said; I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.” I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your loving kindness and Your truth From the great assembly. Isa 40:9-11

 Enoch, was the 7th in their lineage

In the geneology of the patriarchs in Adams time, Enoch, was the 7th ( 7- the number of perfection) in their lineage, and His name means dedicated, but it also implies mouth, and so He had a mouth that was dedicated. He was a teacher, and he spoke of the flood and also of our time (Jude). Methusaleh, Enoch's son, was the great great great great great (5 greats- the number of grace) grandson of Adam, and His name literally means; His death shall bring. People understood that when he died the flood would come. Methusaleh lived to be 969 years of age, and the Rabbis say he died 7 days before the flood, the very day Noah and his family entered the ark.

On Rosh Hashannah (Jewish NewYear) 1949, one year after Israel was born in a day, Billy Graham held his first crusade that launched him to his current fame. In Los Angeles he held what was to be a 7 day crusade that ended up lasting 57 days. Billy Graham was 96 the other day.The number 57 is an interesting number.

The leaven of the pharisees and the herodians is in our day. The pharisees add to and twist, and the herodians take away, then add to. Learn the lesson of the loaves and the baskets that were left over. Mark 8

57 is the number of our redemption and 84 (12x7) is the number of the bride

Saints, Jesus is the true manna that came down from heaven. 57 is the number of our redemption and 84 (12x7) is the number of the bride(and12 is the number of government,and Jesus is crying to the 7churches even now) . Psalms 57 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, Until these calamities have passed by. I will cry out to God Most High, He shall send from heaven and save me. Isaiah 57 The righteous vanishes, And no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, While no one considers That the righteous is taken away from evil. He shall enter into peace;They shall rest in their beds, Each one walking in his uprightness.

9 is the number of months in a womans pregnancy, and it is 40 weeks, and God's times are divided into 3 parts, 3-40's, as a womans pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. Hearing and sight start developing in the third trimester, and in the sixth month of her pregnancy, John the baptist leaped in Elizabeths womb at the sound of the voice of Mary. By the end of the third trimester, sight and hearing should be fully developed, i pray we have eyes and ears to see and hear what God's spirit is saying to the churches. It was the woman with the word in her and the woman with the prophet in her who knew first of Christs first coming, and they were kin. The bride of Christ knows and is preparing herself. The prophets,the evangelists, the teachers and the preachers in the bride of Christ are all weeping now, but with hope. A blessed hope, and a dedicated mouth to reach out to all before our Lord gathers us to Himself. Still rejoicing when a sinner repents, still rejoicing when a brother or sister in Christ rejoices still rejoicing in the truth.

Lest we forget the true blessings of Christ, all we have to do is go to His first sermon; Matt 5-7, Luke 6.

Judgement for America is set for this next year, which is already here in theHebrew calendar, but it may begin first in the church. The handwriting is on the wall,and Cyrus is coming in. It is the year 5775 in the Hebrew calendar,and 6000 literal years is the year 2023, the same time as from Adam to Abram coming out of His land. The bride of Christ will be coming down from her real home to rule and reign with Christ on this earth a 1000 years at that time.The year 2024, is the year 5784.
I pray the church in America will wake up and return to the Lord and pray; Anne Graham Lotz ;

Before thy cross I kneel and see the heinousness of my sin,

The evil that excites the severity of divine wrath.
Show me the enormity of my guilt by

the pierced hands and feet,

Thy blood is the blood of incarnate God,
Its worth infinite, its value beyond all thought.
Infinite must be the evil and guilt that demands such a price.*

I am so sorry. Amen.
