WELCOME TO THE CORRIDORS OF THE SHEPHERDS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb. 4:12 (KJV)

The Shepherds Bugle is the voice of Shepherds Without Borders Lighthouse Ministries; which comes out once monthly to highlight messages, news, visions, projects, strength & weakness of the United Body of the Kingdom of God. Inspired Shepherds come together monthly to write message etc for the community of God chosen. Every shepherd chosen, charged, and called by God (YHWH) to care for His flocks is officially a member. Shepherds serve as an ambassadors of the Kingdom of God , advocates for petitioning God for mankind, administrators for the handling and distributing the truth of God's Word and they need a watch tower on the hilltop to help them not to crash against the stones of temptations placed in their path by the Devil. This magazine is the shepherdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; consultant for wisdom and direction when it comes to how the work of the Kingdom of God is being carried out in different places around the world. It is also a confronter of the evil practices that are carried out in the name of the kingdom of God. It is no respecter of any particular doctrine, tradition, color, language, social status, or geographical locations. It is the voice for the united kingdom of God's body of workers in the vineyard here on earth. This magazine is the discussion leader of any topic concerning the kingdom of God and the warfare of God's people. Here you will see and post the work you do for the kingdom; however it should be clear that every work you see here is the responsibility/views of the writer who placed it there and not always necessarily the views of

everyone. It is a medium to serve as an encourager for the shepherds around the world who are striving to get the truth of God's Word out even at a risk to their own families and lives. As a spotlight, we intend to also serve as a ground inspector of the work of every ministry we can and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Shepherds, we say a big welcome to you and your flocks. Let this place be a companion and knowledge dispenser, a place where you can rest and discover your God given talents, your historian where you can view the past and log the present, the nurturer of your visions, your opportunities spotter, and critic. I know many times when you are in the wrong and we speak about it, you might be hurt, go home and pray about it, and please come for a second look. Partake and make this place a home away from home. Make this place a secret corner for airing your views and questions that have been bothering you for a long time. Please allow Shepherds Bugle to help you develop your ministries and broken lives.

ESSENTIAL KEYS FOR OUR SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL LIVES FELLOWSHIP AND UNITY WRITTEN BY BISHOP STEVEN LIBERTY SR 2009

PART 1 Today which is the fourth day of our Fast; I want to discuss briefly two keys that are very crucial to our Fellowship. These two keys are FELLOWSHIP and UNITY. There is a unique power in the knowledge and application of these keys meaningfully to our individual and ministerial lives. I want to discuss Fellowship with God, with Christ; of the righteous and with the wicked. Later I will dwell on the topic of unity. The Bible states that Fellowship with God as individual has great benefits and long lasting rewards. Our prayers should be focus on how we can walk hand in hand with God. After many years of living his own life we see that Enoch choose to walk with God. He had tried his hands on about everything but found out that one could not have been completed until they took the hands of the Master. There is no way we can do it on our own; with reason or logic, PhDs, doctrines, or worldly power and influence. After

living an early life: at child bearing age, we see Enoch walking with God. After he discovered the joy of walking hand in hand with God; he did not take his hands from the hands of God for three hundred years. Oh yes; he went to sleep at night and awoke daily with only one thought and that was the joy he derive from fellowshipping with God.(Gen.5:22,24). Noah is a giant that I admire a lot when it comes to walking with God. The fact that he planted a vineyard after the flood proves to me (this is my own opinion) that he was in the world drinking etc. before he took the hands of God. When he took the hands of God; he took it with such a faith that I have prayed to have for years. Can you imagine how it is in our lives today when it comes to launching a project for God? We must find reason and logic and public opinion is of vast importance. But here was a carpenter who might not have seen rain in his entire life; directed by God to built the largest boat ever alone and on dry ground. Men of his days with their logic and reason had a field day laughing at him. His family might have been the talk of the town .But when you have your hands in God hands, your eyes in his eyes, fellowshipping with him daily; there is no impossibility in your dictionary. The Bible call Noah a just and perfect man (Gen.6:9), because he found joy in fellowshipping with God. He found pleasure in talking honestly with God and believed every word the Lord told him even if logic and reason did not back it. Because of his strong faith in his best friend, he instilled in the life of his family the courage to push aside anything the world had to say. He built their trust in God that individually each

member of his family qualified to go along with him on the ark; and do not think it was a favour for the work. No it was not because God is a perfect and Holy God. He would never have allowed them to enter that Ark if they were not qualified (remember Lot’s wife). Moses recognized that as a Shepherd if God did not have fellowship with him and his flock, all would be a lost cause. Many of us want to go on our own; with the backing of our friends, our establishments, our financial capability, our political influence, our social contacts, or our popularity. But Moses realized one fact that have escape many Shepherds today for a long time; and that fellowship with God first and foremost was all that it took to insure his flocks. He wanted security from walking hand in hand with the Chief Shepherd who had all it took to protect, provide, and guide them along the right path. This is how the Bible describes this unique conversation between these two friends; who because they walked in fellowship could discuss freely: “And he said unto him, if thy

presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.”(Ex. 33: 15, 16, 17). Which Shepherds can God say the same about today? Shepherds in order for our flocks to be protected by the

Most High God; we the Shepherds must have fellowship with God. God must be able to say without a doubt that thou hast found grace in His sight and he knows you by name. But what does it mean to fellowship with God in our days. John describes it in these words: “Truly our fellowship is with

the Father, and with the Son Jesus Christ. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth; But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”(1 John 1:3, 5, 6, 7).

In order to fellowship with Christ we have to take forsake our will and take up our cross and follow Him. This was one of Jesus wish for His Shepherds. He noted His own fellowship with His Father that made them one and unique and said these prayer for all True Shepherds: “That they all

may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: I in them and thou in me, that they may be may perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them; as thou hast loved me.”(John 17:21,23) Christ knew that fellowship among the believers would produce a very powerful result that is why He prayed for it to happen. He knew it would be very difficult; taking into consideration human selfish and limited mind and their quest for personal power. But He knew that the only way

they could produce the necessary results and perfectly cares for the sheep; was within their ability to unite in fellowship. How did He come to this conclusion? He arrived at this conclusion from personal experience from His fellowship with the Father. He prayed that we received and implement that concept that produces a powerful union; we + Christ + Father making a oneness that is undefeatable by any existing force in the entire universe. Through our preaching and teaching, and healing, and casting out devils and demons with power and force received from Christ we testify to the entire world that Christ send us and the Father sent Christ. But in order to have this unique and powerful fellowship; we have to leave behind a lot of baggage. The baggage of pride, selfishness, myself, I, greed, envy, personal glory , power and embrace each other with singleness of Spirit And oneness of heart. One day as Christ wasdoing the work of His Father; Mary His mother and other members of His family came to find Him. He could have stopped (like any of us today would have done) and attended to them first. But for Him the word family meant another thing altogether. He answered and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś.Who is my mother?

and who are my brethren ? And He stretched forth his hand towards His disciples, and said behold my mother and my brethren; for whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother and my sister and mother.â&#x20AC;?(Matt 12:48,49,50) Shepherds in order to fellowship with Christ we must be able to be his disciples and do His will. We must understand that if Christ disciples are his family; than

Shepherds around the world, who are doing His will, are expected to be one family. SHEPHERDS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD I PRAY THIS DAY THAT YOU WILL REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WORKING, PRAYING, PRAISEING, BREAKING OF BREAD AS ONE FAMILY.YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH NOTHING ON YOUR OWN. IT IS ONLY BY FELLOWSHIPPING WITH GOD, JESUS CHRIST AND ONE ANOTHER THAT YOU CAN FIND WHOLENESS IN DIRECTING YOUR FLOCKS. SHEPHERDS DOES THE SHEEP HAVE ENOUGH GRASS TO EAT , A CLEAN PLACE TO SLEEP, A COOL PLACE TO REST DURING THE AFTERNOONS WHEN THE SUN OF LIFE IS SO HOT, COOL AND REFRESHING WATER TO DRINK AND THE STRAYS COMFORTABLY SOUGHT AFTER?

But then a darkness seemed to grow my heart felt sad and ill I KNEW that You were telling me to LISTEN and BE STILL. To kneel in silence at Your feet and know Your warm embrace to nestle gently in Your arms and gaze upon Your face! I came to You without a word and did what You had said and then the dark grew lighter and my apathy was shed. Now my wall is shattered I pray to You my cares and read my Bible daily. I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE THERE! Written by Linda Fawkes (c)Copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved

BOUND UP OR FREE "But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit,even so it is now" Galations 4:29 ------> "Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman, so then, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free." Galatians 4:30&31 People, we need to render self powerless through Christ! Our fleshly desires are our enemy! They war against our soul! We got to get to a higher place! To the place of prayer & fasting to "cast out the bondwoman"! For the two cannot dwell together in our being! Our emotions can be so wicked too...our emotions are part of "us" yes, that true but they shouldn't rule our lives! OLA! Lord. Help us JESUS! ANGER, RAGE, CONTROLLING BEHAVIOUR,JEALOUSY,UNFORGIVENESS, PRIDE,LUST,GREED,...all of these are part of our emotions, and we need to have victory over these because they war against our soul! True, we cannot do it on our own, we need help from above! And HE is willing to help ,He tells us " SUBMIT yourself therefore to GOD, resist the devil and he shall flee" Father God, many times we stumble and fall as we live here below and LORD you have given us power over all the works of the enemy! No sin needs to have victory over us because JESUS has won the victory over every sin! Every disease! Even death! Hallelujah! Today Lord I ask for strength for each one that will read this, and I ask for strength for myself to resist the enemy ..to look to YOU for help each and every time that it seems that we cannot get past this "hurdle"!

WHAT IS HINDERING WITHIN? "And as soon as he was come ,he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him" Mark 14 :45 Hmmmm! I wonder if we are like that sometimes eh? We say Master master! BUT our hearts are far from Him! We look good! We do all the right things, BUT our heart is far from Him. We have these attitudes within that are not Christlike at all! We have unforgiveness , just plain bad attitudes. Each one of us know what these are! We know what we really are. Today, I invite you to join me in seeking the LORD with all your heart, mind and soul! Give it all to HIM! All those impossible situations, give them ALL to Him! You can't change anything anyway! Only HE can! He can change the heart of man\woman\child! HE CAN! WE CAN'T! BUT HE CAN! Let's draw near to HIM! He wants to demonstrate to a lost & dying world that HE does have people in the world today that want to live for HIM! A people that have completely surrendered their will to HIM! AMEN!

Do you have to see to Believe? "Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands ;and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless , but believing." John 20:27----> "And Thomas answered and said unto Him, 'my LORD, and my God' Jesus saith unto him, Thomas because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believed." John 20:28-29 Hmmm... how many times have we been there eh... doubting, wondering. I thank God for the written WORD.... so much in the WORD of GOD. Many people say that the BIBLE is hard to understand, but if you would just take the time to study the scriptures...you would get so much out of it. In today's scripture reading, we find a man who said" except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side ,I will not believe" John 20:25 ola...powerful denial eh...and yet many times we say that, maybe not verbally but in our heart. Many times we will not believe based on GODS WORD alone, we have to see something before we believe! Let me tell you something, trust GODS WORD, if He said something, believe it! Take HIM at HIS WORD! We are blessed for believing! Faith without works is dead ! You have to have both! You can't just have faith and no works! They must work together!

May we realize that YOU care for us; and that YOU are pleased when we have faith! Help our unbelief Oh God, I pray in JESUS name amen ÂŠVivian Noskey

"Thou art Simon,the son of Jonah:thou shalt be called Cephas.." John 1:42 "..which is by interpretation, A stone" John 1:42 Jesus is looking at you, saying " you are__________ you shall be called_____________________ ! Barnes' Notes on the Bible "Cephas - This is a Syriac word, meaning the same as the Greek word Peter, a stone. See the notes at Matthew 16:17. The stone, or rock, is a symbol of firmness and steadiness of character - a trait in Peter's character after the ascension of Jesus that was very remarkable. before the death of Jesus he was rash, headlong, variable; and it is one proof of the omniscience of Jesus that he saw that Peter "would" possess a character that would be expressed appropriately by the word "stone" or "rock." The word "Jonas" is a Hebrew word, whose original signification is a "dove." It may be that Jesus had respect to that when he gave Simon the name Peter. "You now bear a name emblematic of timidity and inconstancy. You shall be called by a name denoting firmness and constancy." Lord God, we give Thee thanks this day for all that You have done for us. Thank you for Your WORD! As we have read this portion of scripture today what You have shown to us by what You said to Peter is so powerful: You don't see us as we are but You see us as we will be once we surrender our lives to You completely! Thank you LORD! Thank you for WHO YOU ARE; ALL POWERFUL,ALL KNOWING, ALL PRESENT GOD! Hallelujah! Thank you JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU LORD. Watch over my family today LORD, watch over each one of my FBFs, lead us & guide us in Your ways in JESUS name amen

"PERSECUTION AND PURPOSE: AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE" : BY JOHN GRACE

There is a rising shift in the world today. Animosity towards Christians is multiplying in numbers around the world. Literal millions of people are being slain for their practice of Christianity and/or their public declaration of Christ. From the Hindu world to the Muslim world, and even in the United States of America! And, while I hate to say it, this trend is only beginning to heat up. That is, we haven't even begun to see the rage that will amass against God's children! We are only in the embryonic stages! I write this note not to terrify, but to inform. We who trust in Christ Jesus must understand these things so that we may prepare ourselves, and be able to stand firm. We need an eternal perspective to interpret these persecutions, and we need to realize, above all, that despite this growing hatred and burgeoning rise in persecution, Almighty God is still on His Throne! Firstly, we must realize that we live in a fallen world. It is fallen because men have chosen to reject God and serve himself. Men have fashioned and created for themselves their own gods (idols). and serve them. Men have cursed God in their hearts, blasphemed Him with their words, and denounced Him in their lives. Therefore, the world we currently inhabit is a world completely antithetical to God. Yet, in the midst of this violent repudiation, God still sent His only Son to die on a Cross and cover their rebellion, forgive them of their sins, and restore them back to right standing with Him. However, God's loveoffering despised and trampled on, they have set their sights anew on warring against God by taking aim at His Christ, and upon His chosen saints (cf. John 15:18).

Although our focus has been on mankind, let us understand that the root of this hatred is satan himself. The Apostle John tells us that "the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (I John 5:19). Jesus, as also recounted by John, says, "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him" (John 8:44). St. Paul confirms this by stating that all who are not reborn walk "according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air (satan), the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). So you see, beloved, this hatred stems from satan, and he manifests that hatred through his subjects, which is the world that has rejected God and His Christ. He cannot get to God personally, and so he seeks his revenge upon His children, those that have trusted in the blood-sacrifice of the Lord Jesus for their salvation and, by that act, have changed allegiances. Literally, God has "delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love" (Colossians 1:13). Having this knowledge, then, makes us aware that when we commit our hearts to Christ, we immediately become targets of the enemy, satan. We are marked as belonging to God and, by virtue of that, are thrust forthwith into the fray. We are born-again into warfare, beloved. To know this is to be forewarned. St. Peter reminds us of this reality, when he says, "Since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind" (I Peter 4:1). Further on he adds, "Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified...Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter." (I Peter 4:12-16).

Paul, imprisoned for his declaration of the glorious Gospel, wrote to his protege Timothy these words: "You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus...You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier...Consider what I say and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. And this is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.." (II Timothy 2:1-12). The persecutions will come, dear ones. It is an unavoidable reality. Satan wants the world rid of all traces of God and His disciples, while God wants to glorify Himself, and us with Him, in the midst of it all. Knowing the first, arms us with the knowledge so that we may persevere and stand firm. The latter informs us of the glorious purpose behind the suffering, and arms us with the ability to endure with joy and gladness, knowing the outcome. The author of Hebrews wrote to a group of believers struggling in the faith. They had suffered the loss of many things because of their faith and now needed reassurance, lest they falter. He encourages them in several ways throughout the letter. Listen to some of it here:

"But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and more enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 'For yet a little while, and He Who is coming will come and not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.' But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul." (Hebrews 10:32-39). The author then goes on to bolster their faith by recounting a litany of heroes of faith that have endured and persevered for the sake of Christ, culminating with the Christ Himself, exhorting the faithful to "lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us (which I believe refers here to unbelief), and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith , Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God" (Hebrews 12:1-2). Finally, let us know that the book of Revelation was written to believers enduring countless persecutions and sufferings for their faith. It is a book, while filled with many things difficult to grasp, that clarifies one thing without question: Jesus Christ is Lord, and He shall overcome and His saints with Him if we hold fast. Yes, Revelation also tells us that persecution is assured in the saints' future, but the end of the tale is that evil will be destroyed and Christ shall overcome. Hear the good news, o troubled ones:

"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.' Then He Who sat upon the Throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new!' And He said, 'Write these words, for they are faithful and true: It is done! I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be His God and he shall be My son." Oh glorious news, dear Christians!! This is the eternal perspective! Paul tells us that "through much tribulation we must enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Jesus reverberates this reality: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer! I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33). Be of good cheer, precious saints. God is not blind to our sufferings. He sees them all. In fact, the psalmist declares that "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" (Psalm 116:15). And although we may wonder why He doesn't step in and stem the rising tide of persecutions [currently (as of 2010), as estimated by Open Doors UK, an estimated 100 million Christians face persecution, particularly in the Muslim world, North Korea and the hands of Hindu extremism and Islamic terrorism in India, with a rising tendency. A recent study, cited by the Vatican, reported that 75 out of every 100 people killed for religious hatred are Christian], we must continue to trust in His wisdom and perfect plan.

The world is paving the way for the Antichrist. "Little children", John writes, "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" (I John 2:18). The stage is being set for the apocalypse, foretold in the book of Revelation. Evil will have its day, and saints will be martyred by the millions. It is all part of God's foretold plan. Nevertheless, hold fast your confidence. Encourage those who are being persecuted to do likewise. Do not seek vengeance, for that is the Lord's, and He shall repay. Let your witness for Christ be unflinching and firm, regardless of the pains inflicted, and the deaths surrounding. God's eye sees it all. I close with this word of encouragement from Paul to the persecuted Thessalonian believers. May it be an encouragement to you as well. "We are bound to thank God always for you, beloved, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because your testimony among you was believed. Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." (II Thessalonians 1:3-12). And lastly: "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly!' Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen!!" (Revelation 22:20-21).

Seven Steps To Having Victory And Dominion Over Your Enemy BY Rev. DONNA JEAN BRAMAN

The scriptures that I'm going to give you today reveal that we are in a complicated war and the battle is with the devil. Ephesians 6:12 tells us,"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." There is a spirit realm right above our heads, and until you can get some discernment of the spiritual realm you will never gain dominion. The devil is the prince of the air, and he operates in the dark and we need to recognize who we are fighting. You will need to know the weakness and power of your enemy in order to gain dominion over him. The key to these principles are knowing who you are and then letting the devil know who you are. Decide that this year you are not going to be like a lot of Christians that come up against attacks and all they can do is plead with the Lord to make it all better. You have weapons and YOU are going to have use them. But first, you must know just what Jesus Christ's power is and what He accomplished for you already and take dominion of the power He has given the church. Here are the principles outlined for you:

1. Recognize Your Source Of Dominion Paul prayed a prayer in Ephesians where he asked for us to have wisdom and discernment because he knew we had to know this to have victory and dominion. We have to understand the exceeding great power we have through Jesus Christ. Jesus took the dominion from Satan and turned and gave the keys to the church. Now keys are made to lock and unlock things, so you have the power to bind and to loose situations in your life. Let's take a look at the power given to Christ in Ephesians 1:19-23, "may you have the spirit of understanding and your eyes be enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." You can see from this scripture that the power and source of your dominion comes directly from heaven. It comes through Jesus Christ. You make Him Lord of your life and learn these principles and you'll get dominion. It does not come through human ability but a spiritual power. We are a people of dominion. As you study the word of G-d you'll see where Paul gives us these principles.

2. Learn The Effective Use Of Your Weapons Just as the conflict is spiritual so our weapons are spiritual also. We have prayer and we have the sword of the spirit. We need for our prayer to be fervent and you'll never have effective, fervent prayer until you tap into the Holy Spirit for He anoints you to pray. He gives you that quickening spirit and words come to you to pray, and sometimes all you can do is just groan from your spirit and guess what, He prays for you then. Faith is a mighty weapon too and the power of calling on His name is mighty. When you can get this in your spirit you will be able to make demons shutter when you begin to pray the prayer of command in Jesus' name. 2 Corinthians 10:3 says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in G-d for pulling down strongholds, and casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of G-d." You have an enemy and he's trying to stop you from getting your inheritance. Cast the devils high thoughts down. Everyone that is going to walk in dominion must know the WORD. It should come out of your mouth when you're attacked by the devil. Jesus has a two edged sword on His tongue, and He used that when dealing with devils. The word of G-d must be hidden in your heart so that when an attack comes you can use that double edged sword. It will cause exploits from you. Get to know His word.

People that walk in dominion are people of the word and prayer. Prayer is the most talked about subject but the least done in the church. It baffles me that people in church won't pray. They want a good sermon only. But prayer moves the hand of G-d. It amazes me how little preachers pray. How few call the people in unity to pray at the altar, or call for a prayer intercession night. If you go to a church with prayer you are blessed because where there is no prayer there is no spiritual power. If you've got a praying pastor or praying people in your church you better cling to their coat tail. You don't have to come to church to try to out pray everyone, you can come and just groan when you're burdened and the Holy Spirit will do the rest. Prayer is the power that accomplishes things when nothing else will. Faith gives you dominion and a person with faith walks with G-d. Where do you get faith? Romans 10:17 tells us, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of G-d." The word cannot build faith in you until you learn to abide in it. Jesus tells us this in John 15:7, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." 3. Recognize Your Relationship To The Body Of Christ The Body of Christ is a divine relationship with Jesus Christ. Christ's body is a living, moving entity. Stay close to the church. Colossians 1:18 says, "And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."

Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against His church. Follow His commands and pay your tithe and the devil will never prevail. G-d said to prove Him on this. It will cause blessings to flow because you're a part of His body. Do you need healing or a miracle, then get the body to praying for you. The people should be worshiping him through prayer and praise, they should be pulling praise out of the preacher. Are you a dead church or are you a church alive in Him? Look at Ephesians 2:5, "even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ and raised us up together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus." He has raised us up together and we sit in heavenly places! Jesus shows you your position in Him here. We are in Him and He is in us. We are also seated together. We are to reign as priests and kings before His throne. We're in the world but not of this world. Stay with me now, cause I'm going to show you your position in faith and prayer here. Look at Hebrews 7:24, "But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore, He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to G-d through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Jesus is seated on the throne and He intercesses (prays) for us. You have a partnership with Christ that intercedes. Romans 8:34 says, "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of G-d, who also makes intercession for us." Christ, the exalted Lord is praying, the Holy Spirit is praying.

Romans 8:26-27 says, "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses, For we do not know what we pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of G-d." The Holy Spirit is praying, Jesus is praying, and we are to pray. Don't quit and don't faint. Christ is wanting for the church to join Him in prayer. The church has more programs and is more organized than ever before with the greatest preachers on sermons, but we have missed the thing that brings the power. My G-d, bring some people up in the church that will pray! The average Christian prays 4 minutes a day and it goes something like this, Lord, thank you for this food... You can change the world with prayer, you can change your church and family with prayer. All things are possible for those who believe. Paul was afraid the church wouldn't understand this. In Ephesians 1:17-18 he says, "That the G-d of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints." Paul overwhelms us when he says we are seated with Christ. Ephesians 2:5 says, "Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by His grace) and raised us up together to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." We are raised in the newness of light and this is the mystery the church needs to grasp. G-d ordained that the church should pray. That's dominion!

4. Identify Your Enemy How can you win a battle if you don't know who you are fighting? The devil is subtle. With our thought processes we go, where did Gd come from? There is nothing greater than getting your prayers answered. Spend time in prayer and get some answered prayers and you will know where G-d comes from then. Have enough faith that you start saying, I will not be denied. Be like Elijah, don't give up. If you don't have enough faith in your prayer life yet, go find you some Elijah prayer warriors that know how to pray it through. Don't give up. G-d will connect your situation with a prayer warrior. He will put them in front of you and the one's who are tuned in to the spirit will know they need to pray for you and your situation. Your prayer is what determines whether or not you will prevail. We need to learn to pray as a nation. We need to learn to pray for family and one another in the body of Christ. I have two family members I hadn't talk to in a while and recently communication was opened up and they expressed desperate prayer needs for children in the family. I was not even aware of these needs. These needs require intercessory prayer. The Holy Spirit brought this before me because He knows I am about to embark upon a 40 day fast and prayer for others. I'll not let the devil win for I will take a mighty stand and beat this giant that is coming against my family. You'll never have victory if you don't learn to identify your enemy. It's not your husband, nor your employer, nor people in your church, but it is the devil that you are dealing with not people. John 10:10 says, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Christ wants us to have dominion. In this verse your enemy is identified and your benefactor. Battles are not natural, they are spiritual. We want to try to battle them by world principles but the devil will laugh in your face and keep you in fear and in turmoil. Take your weapons out and show him who you are. You see, the spiritual laws are more powerful than natural laws. Jesus spoke (the sword of the spirit) to the storm and it ceased. Your enemy is the enemy to G-d. That's why the battle is not yours in the natural, but it is G-d's. Know the weakness of your enemy. David killed a giant because he understood Goliath's weakness, that he served wooden gods and he cursed David's G-d, which meant death to the giant. So David already knew that and because of it that G-d would deliver the enemy into his hand. David killed off an evil seed by knowing who he was in G-d. The devil IS limited. The devil was completely defeated by Jesus. Any believer can resist the devil and he has to leave. James 4:7 says, "Therefore submit to G-d. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." Draw nigh to G-d and He will draw nigh to you. Get the Holy Ghost and get suited up and let your tongue go to praying some of these scriptures and I promise you that the devil will be no match for this dominion. We must remind the devil that he is defeated, that Jesus already won the battle, and that truth and knowledge of His word gives you the victory. Colossians 2:15 says, "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Jesus dragged Satan through the corridors of hell and every demon in hell saw it, and they will see His power in you too if you exert it. Jesus triumphed over Satan and gave the power to the church. Well, glory!

Demons fear and tremble before spiritual power. Someone who walks in dominion takes authority over the devil and sits in the rest of Christ. Speak to the devil and let him know who you are. Luke 10:19 says, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your name is written in heaven." (by which you have this power) The Greek word Exusia means power and the Greek word for Dumas means power over everything. G-d is omnipotence.You have the Dumas of G-d and the power to use His name. 6. Stay Battle Ready Stay in the blood, the devil tries to get us away from our covenant. He knows your weaknesses and he'll come at you through them. Fortify your weakness with the word of G-d. G-d will turn that weakness around and make it your strength in Him. Don't ever let your guard down. You're devil proof so hold on to your weapons and never lay them down. Satan will put a booby trap before you. If Satan convicts you, you can't cast out the devil then. If the devil can put anger in you you'll not heal the sick. If he gets you confused, you'll not pray and see manifestations. The devil wants you to stay confused and not battle ready. So watch for these subtle moves the devil does and you will begin to recognize your enemy and his plans. Never take your eyes off Jesus. Don't look at man, they will disappoint you. Your family will hurt you and friends too, so stay focused on Christ. Pray! After this manner pray ye, Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Go before the Lord with reference and thankfulness and with a praise on you lips.

7. Rejoice In The Victory Learn how to use the weapon of praise. Punish the devil with your praise. G-d inhabits the praises of His people. Make the devil listen to your praise. You can't think a praise and punish the devil but if you'll use your voice and speak praise, the devil will have to listen. Try praising the Lord in the midst of a hard place and see how quickly you come out of it. Start pressing the devil and punish him, instead of allowing him to press you. Flip it on him, show him some real power. We're not losers church, we are what G-d says we are. We have what G-d says we have. We have all the promises and the armor and the praise, and it is all to bring glory to Him. Get some scripture in you and learn G-d's will. The Holy Ghost wants us to preach and to pray, not by our might but by His Spirit. G-d is searching the heart who is praying, and who is praising Him. He is looking to see who is sold out for Him.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inner Guidance System : You Can Trust Your Life to It BY Pastor John Hamel

"The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly." Proverbs 20:27 In this brief study weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be talking about the subject of guidance. For a much more detailed study, go to our Faith Building Bible Study Centre and click on Guidance. It's not possible to share everything the Bible says about this subject in such a short study. However, we'll be able to share enough to get you on the right track and keep you there. The Bible says that your spirit, the real you, is the "candle" of the Lord. Today we would say man's spirit is the "flood light" of the Lord. The point being made is that God wants to give light, or answers to our many questions, through our spirits, deep down inside. God doesn't talk to humans through the human mind because God doesn't live in the realm of the human mind. God doesn't talk to humans through the human body because God doesn't live in the physical realm either. God talks to His human creation through their human spirits. After all, God is a Spirit and He lives in the spirit realm. (John 4:24) It only makes sense for God to talk to Born Again human beings through their human spirits because their human spirits are in union with Him. (1Corinthians 6:17) Now that we've established the fact that our Born Again human spirits are in union with the Spirit of God, let's look at the Amplified Bible.

"And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds] ..." (Colossians 3:15 Amplified Bible) The Bible says that we are to let peace guide us, or act as umpire concerning all decisions we have to make in life. This simply means that if we have a creamy "peace" about doing something, as long as it's legal, moral and Scriptural, God is saying to do it. On the other hand, if we have a knot of "unrest" down on the inside about doing something, it is because God is saying to not do that. Simply remember, a "knot" means to "not". This is why Paul referred to the Holy Spirit within as God's "umpire". Umpires decide whether an athlete is safe or out. The Inner Umpire of the Holy Spirit is constantly telling the Born Again child of God whether they are "safe" or "out", "right" or "wrong" when it comes to decision making. This is why we always put God in position to where He only has to answer us "Yes" or "No". We do all we can to make what we believe to be proper decisions in every area of our lives and then we go to the Father and ask if we have made a right decision or not. We then give Him a few days to give us that "peace" or "unrest", His "Yes" or His "No". It's so simple even a child can do it. Problem is many of God's disobedient children don't want to be "bothered" or "inconvenienced" by His primary form of guidance. Did you ever know not to do something deep down inside, a "gut knowing", a "gut instinct" saying, "Don't do that" and you did it anyway, only to regret it later? You later said, "What in the world was I thinking when I did that? Something on the inside was telling me not to do that."

Well, that "something" was actually "Someone". That "Someone” was the Holy Spirit leading you. Had you followed Him, you would have not gotten into trouble. This is the primary way, or the number one way the Holy Spirit guides the Believer today when there is no Scripture to tell them what to do. We always say it this way. When asking God whether you should do something or not, simply remember, "peace” is His "Yes,” "unrest” is His "No.” Another way to remember it is a "red light” deep down inside your belly (spirit) is a "Stop” signal. A "green light” deep down inside your belly is a "Go” signal. You’ll get better at recognizing this the more determined you are to follow Him. Of course, this is not the only way God guides His children according to the Bible. He does have a voice, of course. He can use the Still Small Voice (1Kings 19:12), the Authoritative Voice of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:13), Dreams (Matthew 1:20), Visions (Acts 10:10), Prophecy (Acts 11:28) and Angels (Acts 10:3). These are indeed all Scriptural forms of guidance. I have experienced them all. However, I never insist on these forms of guidance alone. I always insist on having the inner "Umpire", the inner "Witness", the inner "Peace" or "Unrest" of the Holy Spirit to guide us. This is the primary way the Apostle Paul taught that God guides when I have no Scripture to tell me what to do.

To insist that Almighty God guide you in any other way than the inner "Umpire" is to open yourself up to wrong spirits and deceptive guidance. When we insist on voices, dreams, visions, prophecy or Angelic forms of guidance, contrary to what Paul taught, Satan himself will gladly accommodate us with counterfeits. Stick with the inner "Umpire". He makes perfect decisions every time. If God wants to use any of the other higher forms of guidance, He can and will. First show Him He can trust you to follow the inner "Umpire" of "peace" or "unrest". Are you in union with the Spirit of God through acceptance of the Person of Jesus Christ? If not, say, "Jesus, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my choice for Light and Life.â&#x20AC;? (Romans 10:13) You will immediately connect with the God of Creation in the Spirit realm. Remember, your "spirit", not your mind or your body, is "the candle of the Lord."

In Transition From Gethsemane To Golgotha BY BISHOP RICK BOYKIN

Transitioning From Gethsemane To Golgotha Matt 26:39-46 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then He came to His disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

The Garden of Gethsemane is the place where you accept your assignment or reject it. Jesus had to make a decision, if He was going to accept the assignment of being our Savior. He wrestled with accepting this assignment, He asked his father to let this cup pass from me. But pressed and prayed, bringing his flesh into subjection. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection....1 Cor 9:27 Jesus was able to say "nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will" Gethsemane is place where the battle of the wills are warring against one another. Our will against the will of the Father. After Jesus accepted His assignment In Gethsemane, Golgotha was waiting for His arrival Many never make it to Golgotha because they're not willing to die, therefore Gethsemane is a place of hours, days or even years of warring with their will. One can't transition to Golgotha without going through Gethsemane. Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matt 26:41 Don't get stuck in Gethsemane wrestling with the acceptance of your God given assignment, when you find yourself wrestling with the flesh and the spirit. Remember what Jesus did, who pressed and prayed until his flesh came into alignment with his spirit, and in the end was able to say "Nevertheless" Your Gethsemane is a place of transition and transformation Selah

The Heart of Man by Kenneth White

The Apostle James wrote about the heart of man : "But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death"(James 1:14-15). The Moffatt Translation reads :"Everyone is tempted as he is beguiled(deceived)and allured by his own desire, the desire conceives and breeds sin, while sin matures and gives birth to death." The record states that after fasting for forty days, Jesus hungered. When you`re hungry, what kind of desire do you have? You want to eat! In that crucial moment the Temptor came to him. He began to feel the physiological pangs of hunger, and then, out from the depths of his human heart, the thought occured to him. Jesus dropped down from the high and holy thought of God, into the deceitful suggestion of the human heart! He descended in consciousness from the Son of God, to the son of Man. He said, "I know who I am; I can turn these stones into bread." Out of his human heart the voice cunningly suggested, "if you are the Son of God, go ahead and do it! Use your sonship to fill your belly!

You can use this power for anything you want to! Use it now to satisfy your own needs and desires!"Thank God, Jesus quickly discerned the voice of the wily devil and knew how to nip that idea in the bud before it had time to blossem. He got to it before it had time to conceive, before it could start making a baby of sin and religious perversion. Jesus answered out of the depths of his own Spirit,"It is written--man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that procedded from the mouth of God".(Matt. 4:4). In other words, jesus recognized the source of the words, the origin of the voice It wans`t that there was anything intrinsically wrong with turning stones into bread, only days later Jesus did his first miracle in which he turned water into wine! The difference was the voice. The voice that enticed him to turn stones into bread was the voice of SELF; the voice that bade him turn water into wine was the voice of His Father! Ah, there is the difference! Would he use His sonship power for His own gratification and ends, or would he do only and always those things He heard from the Father? That was the issue. That was the test. And that discernment ended with temptation! The battle lay not with some mythical personage out side of Himself. The conflict was within. The voice was an inner voice. The suggestion entered his mind out of the depth of the deceitful heart of the outer, natural man of flesh. Its power was in His emotions and desires! And as he was in his days of his flesh, we are faced with the same problems in discerning who`s speaking to us and what is the voice trying to get us to do.

Surviving A Hostile Work Environment By Melinda Dee Perrodin, MBA

Are you working a job that you dread going to each morning? Do you want to quit this job but you need to stay on this job to pay your bills? Do you often ask God when are you going to deliver me from this hostile work environment? The first step to survive a hostile work environment is to stay focus on completing the job. Nehemiah was able to complete his job assignment to build the wall because he did not worry about his haters. The enemy will send haters on the job to distract you. Whenever you are working in a hostile environment, you have to remember "whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to menâ&#x20AC;? (Colossians 3:23). The second step to survive a hostile work environment is to pray daily. Nehemiah did not waste his energy complaining about his haters or the problems he faced on the job but he chose to seek intercessors to pray for him daily. Prayers can change the environment at work. God will either move the people or He will move you out the situation. The third step to survive a hostile work environment is to avoid gossipers. "A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too muchâ&#x20AC;? (Proverbs 20:19). All gossipers do is cause division and confusion in the workplace. Why discuss your problems with someone who cannot do anything to change your problems? You can have Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peace in a hostile work environment by trusting God to fight your battle. It is important to pray consistently about your hostile work environment. . You need to listen to only the voice of God and not gossipers because it will steal your joy in a hostile work environment. I challenge you not to get discourage with your hostile work environment because your gift will make room for you.

Don't underestimate the value of the Old Testament BY David Mcnabb

There are false doctrines that were introduced in the centuries after the Apostles joined them that sleep in Jesus, and have been passed down for hundreds of years, finding their way into the "mainstream." By reexamining the teachings we have inherited in light of the whole of holy Scripture, our faith is strengthened even though we sometimes discover that some teachings have been tainted or wrong over the years. You see, brothers and sisters, Christianity has fulfilled the allegorical prophecy of Israel in Joshua 24:31. "And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the Lord, that he had done for Israel." Joshua represents Jesus, and the elders that "overlived" Joshua represent the disciples that lived and walked with our Lord in those days. The disciples knew that usurpers and deceivers would come "after their departure," because that is what happened as you can see in the transition from Joshua to the book of Judges. That is the history of God's people and we must know that because of it, many things we have been taught MUST be scrutinized. But what is the standard? "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in themâ&#x20AC;? (Isa 8:20). The law and the prophets, which we now call the "Old Testament,â&#x20AC;? is the standard that all things must compare to. Modern Christians may disagree, but don't forget that the disciples and the saints we see in the New Testament had only the Old Testament to read in their assemblies, coupled with the things they had seen.

Paul warned that "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." Then he went on to say of the O.T., "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Tim. 3:14-17). Again Paul admonished the Romans, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Rom. 15:4). So, as today's believers study the scriptures to show themselves approved unto God, workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, a new phenomenon will become more and more common: "O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit” (Jer. 16:19).

Casualties of War BY Shawn P. Lang

War defined: A state of armed, often prolonged contention and conflict carried on between nations, states, parties, etc., a period of hostile conflict; military science. There is a war going on and I’m not referring to the one in Iraq either. This war is spiritual and is good vs. evil/ God vs. Satan. We are required to enlist in God’s army-Romans10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” This means that you have therefore defected from Satan’s army. God said "Fear not!” Luke 12:32 "do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. For I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut 4:30-31 and Heb 13:5. All that God requires is that we put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the whiles, schemes & tactics of the devil. Eph 6:10-18. God’s ways are not our ways, His thought are not our thoughts; therefore, the kingdom strategy he has given us is to STAND! The battle is not ours; it’s the Lord’s.

Many are out of their positions-fighting, contending and striving. God says STAND! Because we are out of position, we have become POW’s-prisoners of doubt, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, legalism and bondage-none of which are profitable to the kingdom or to us. In fact, it’s detrimental.

Many are MIA-Missing in Action. We’ve not returned from our furlough; we’re still at the casinos, clubs, bars and what not, enjoying our personal time living the life. These things are not necessarily wrong in and of themselves, but there is a time for everything and this is not the time! Not when you have been called to stand. Not when you have voluntarily enlisted. Not when you have been called to watch and to pray. God said STAND!

Some have gone AWOL-Absent w/o Leave-When the going gets tough, the weak get gone! This group has not just let the field; they have left the camp and gone back to Egypt! Before patience could have her perfect work, they buckled under the pressure and defected from the battlefield and continue to be tossed with every wind of doctrine. God said STAND!

Know this: United we stand; divided we fall. Unfortunately, I’m not speaking of corporately at this time. I’m talking about me and you as individuals being united with God, the Creator of the Universe through faith in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. We must be united mind body and spirit with God. A divided

heart/ double-minded man is unstable in all his ways James 1:8. There is a way that seems right to a man, but that way leads to destruction. We must be single, unique and whole before coming together corporately as a unified, spirit-filled spirit-led body.

Some of us have become spiritually-fat babies and need to have our armor refitted. Some of us resemble the emaciated Sudanese dying from starvation and our armor is like, hanging off and weighing us down. Because of this and the above-mentioned issues w/ POW’s, MIA’s, and AWOL soldiers, there will be casualties of war.

While some are sleeping at their posts, families are being destroyed, latch-key kids are drinking, smoking, doing drugs and making babies: CASUALTIES OF WAR. Suicide, rape, murder, sexual immorality in the church: CASUALTIES OF WAR.

To those who are suited and booted, standing as God commanded, praise God for you! It is because of you that the wrath of God has not consumed this place. But his Spirit will not always strive with man. Continue to stand, watch and pray. Pull those out of the fire that God has placed in your path and in your circle of influence.

When the war is over, it will be everlasting too late. Don’t become a casualty of war. Keep your eyes on the cross and your

faith in God. Unbelief is the culprit of POW’s, MIA’s, AWOL’s, etc., but I can’t keep you long, my time with you this post is limited, but I leave you with this, an old hymn:

I am on the battlefield for my Lord for my Lord, oh yes I’m on the battlefield for my Lord, for my Lord. And I promised Him that I, uh you know, I would serve Him till I die, now I’m on the battlefield for my Lord…

You came and knelt before Me in sadness, grief and pain. I wanted to restore you and make you strong again. You told me all your worries your sorrows, grief and cares. I breathed My peace upon you and told you I was there! I picked up all your burdens - knew EXACTLY what I'd do. I already KNOW the future and all that you've been through.

But then you took them back again - departed in great sorrow. My child - this makes me very sad - trust ME with your tomorrow. Please leave your burdens with Me and walk away restored. I AM YOUR LOVING FATHER - YOUR SAVIOUR AND YOUR LORD! â&#x201D;ź written by Linda Fawkes (c)Copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved

"TONGUES" A Gift of Inspiration by Dr Danette M. Scott

Divers kinds of tongues is a gift used for public ministry. It is a sign gift from God, a distinguishing gift that does something very particular. Read I Corinthians. 14:22. Tongues is for a sign to the unbeliever, to stir him inside. Speaking with tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance is a unique ministry that has not been used in other dispensations. It is identified only with the Church Age, the age we are living in today. The phenomenon of speaking in tongues began on the day of Pentecost – the day the NT church was born in Jerusalem. This gift of tongues has been identified with the Church since its inception and it has not left the Church since that day. None of the nine gifts have left the Church. The sign gift of divers kinds of tongues is a supernatural utterance, which comes from God through the Identity of the Holy Spirit. This remarkable gift is directed through a man’s spirit and manifests as a spirit language, a divine and spiritual communication that is different from his native tongue. Tongues is the most misunderstood of all the spiritual gifts. There is no gift in all the world that receives so explosive a reaction as the gifts of tongues. Because the Devil is afraid of it., he gets everybody fighting over it. If tongues did not cause him trouble, he would ignore it, but speaking in tongues is dynamic. It will change a person’s life, so Satan fights it with every force he can.

What Tongues Is Not: The sign gift of tongues is not the prayer language of tongues that comes with the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It is not the receiving of the Spirit at baptism when one is filled with the spirit, as in Acts 2:4: The gift of tongues is not learning of languages. Tongues has positively no relationship to the thinking abilities of man. When a person speaks in tongues, he has no understanding of what he is saying. The Apostle Paul wrote: Read I Corinthians. 14:4. His spirit is speaking to God. Vs 2. Tongues is speech to God - a vocal miracle what a joy it is to speak personally and directly to the Most High God. Who Can Have The Gift of Tongues: Only spirit filed, or Spirit-baptized, believers are candidates for this gift. The infilling of the Holy Spirit is the door to the operation of spiritual gifts in your life. You must pass through that door to reach all the "goodiesâ&#x20AC;? on the inside. Many people want the gifts to function in their lives, but are unwilling to step through that door. Read Mark 16:15-17 This gift was prophesied even by such a great prophet as the Lord Jesus Christ. Tongues is a gift for the Body. 1 Corinthians 14:23 refers to tongues operating when the whole Church has come together into one place. Verse 26 say: Read. The gift of tongues is a come-together gift. It operates when we assemble ourselves together. However, when you use your private prayer language, their is no need for anyone else.

Why Speak in Tongues: Tongues is evidence of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It is shown three times in the Acts of the Apostles: in chapter 2, chapter 10, when Paul Ministered to the Gentiles, chapter 19, about twenty years later when Paul laid hands on the believers in Ephesus. In each of these passages, the Bible specifically says the people spoke with tongues. * Tongues is your prayer language When you speak in tongues, you are speaking supernaturally to God. *

With tongues you magnify God. Act 10:46

Tongues edifies. I Corinthians. 14:4. Tongues brings gladness in singing I Corinthians. 14:15 Tongues is a source of intercessory prayer. Roman 8:26 Tongues is a source of spiritual refreshing. Isaiah 28:11,12 Speaking and ministering to the Lord in tongues is somewhat like a repository of profit. I Corinthians. 12:7.

The Interpretation of Tongues: The third Gift of Inspiration is the interpretation of tongues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the supernatural verbalization of the meaning of a message just delivered to the Church by a member of the Body of Christ in a language he does not understand. The purpose of this gift is to interpret and render a message intelligible that was given forth in an unintelligible tongue. One person gives a message in a language he does not know, and another person interprets it. This reveals the presence of God in that place, God has brought to those people a very special message calling for action. The person who operates in the gift of tongues should seek the gift of interpretation. I Corinthians. 14:13 The interpretation of tongues is not a translation: The interpretation of tongues is not an operation of human mind

When a message is given in tongues and no interpretation follows, there are two possible reasons: 1. No one present has the gift of interpretation. 2. The speaker was simply magnifying God and no public interpretation of the message was necessary. The interpretation of tongues can come in two ways: The interpreter speaks the words inspirationally, or he sees what he is speaking about in the form of a vision. Tongues and interpretation of tongues is regulated by scripture. The gift of tongues is limited in its use: I Corinthians 14:26, 27. Read I Corinthians 14: 1,2 Prophecy vs. Tongues 1. Prophecy speaks a message to the people; a message in tongues speaks to God and to the sinner 2. Tongues edifies and builds up the speaker; prophecy build up the Church. 3. Tongues is a sign, not to the believer, but to the unbeliever I Corinthians 14:23-25 When an unbeliever comes into a group and hears these mighty words of inspiration flowing forth, he will recognize that God is present and among those people.

LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE By Pastor Elden Mcnabb

In Psalm 69:13-29, King David wrote about the agony of Jesus on the cross, and how the leaders, as well as the general population of Israel, insulted and abused the Son of God. And David called for God to exact retribution on them, saying, "They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.” In the space of about forty years, from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, all of those things had come upon natural Israel. They were slaughtered, and scattered, and Jerusalem and the Temple of the Lord were destroyed. And to this day, "the sword” follows them everywhere they go. In this prophecy, and in Psalm 109:8, the Psalmist made two prophetic statements which Peter quoted, in Acts 1:15-20, saying, "Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take.” At a glance, reading the way these statements were phrased in the Psalms, you might think it was a general statement about all Israel, but, in fact, these statements are about two people. In Acts 1, Peter applied the prophesy to one person: Judas Iscariot, whom Jesus called The Son of Perdition (John 17:12;

Acts 1:15-20). And Paul, in 2 Thess. 2:1-6, prophesied of another Son of Perdition, who would be revealed before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. (This is a good example of Isaiah 28:10 in action: "precept upon precept.”) This prophecy, in Psalm 69, is much more easily understood when we comprehend that the prophecy is speaking about two different times, historically. And, in the light of Romans 2:6-11,28,29, it also speaks of both the nation of Israel, and of Gentile Christianity as a whole. He also speaks particularly of Jesus Christ, who was to come twice. That first Son of Perdition, was one of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles. The second time Jesus comes, the other Son of Perdition must precede His coming; as a sign of His soon coming. And he shall sit as king, in the seat of God’s anointed (Moses’ seat); until he is removed from that office, in fulfillment of Ezekiel 21:24-27. The prophet said, "Thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end (Dan. 9:24). Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.” All prophecies must be fulfilled in a certain setting. Likewise, Ezekiel 21:2427, can be fulfilled only within the functions of the restored Church, and within 70 years from the time of its rising in 1903 (Dan. 9:2). And Peter told us that Jesus would be kept in Heaven until the fulfillment of all of those things (Acts 3:19-21). According to Ezekiel, at the time of the casting down of that "profane wicked prince of Israel” from the leadership of the Church, "Iniquity shall have an end.” (That is to say, all iniquity which the prophets said would occur in the Church, throughout the Grace Age (2 Tim. 2:20), will have been accomplished). A careful study of Ezekiel 21:24-27, and its mates elsewhere, will reveal that a group of people must rise up, near the end of the Grace Age. That group shall be overturned and rise up again, and that shall happen a second time, and then a third. And God set that up, partly to help us recognize the Son of Perdition when he was revealed.

At that third overturning, the Church shall fall into a sleep of death, "Until he comes whose right it is.” Then, when God gives the leadership of His people to that man, the final work of God of the sixth Millennium will begin. With a commission from God, that man will assemble a group of God’s Elect, and lead them to perfection (Heb. 6:1): "A glorious church (The Bride the Lamb’s Wife), not having spot (unrighteous ministers Jude 1:8-14), or wrinkle (erroneous doctrine), or any such thing .” At the revealing of the first Son of Perdition, in about A.D. 33, the nation of Israel had several things on their table of doctrine which hid from them the fact that Messiah had truly come in the person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Those errors of doctrine became a snare unto them, and what should have been unto them a great blessing became a trap. Consider John 7:40-44, "Many of the people – said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” They knew the prophecy, but they did not know how to apply it in relationship to its fulfillment, and also to him being called a Nazarene. Jesus came, as the prophets had said, but their eyes were blinded, and they were not allowed to "come into (God’s) righteousness.” Their idolatry, disobedience and rebellion caught up with them, and they were cast aside, as salt which has "lost its savor,” except for the election which we refer to as "the Early Church” (Rom. 11:7). The doctrine regarding the Son of Perdition, who shows up at this end of the age, and who is popularly called "The Antichrist,” is one of the most prominent doctrines on the "table” of Christian doctrine today. The modern promotion that "another natural temple must be built in Jerusalem, and, after the ‘rapture,’ he must rule the world from there,” is simply not a viable assertion. Paul was talking about the New Testament, spiritual, Temple which he described in Ephesians 2:19-22: The Church of God. This erroneous promotion is just one of several major errors which are sapping the zeal of today’s Christians for searching the Scriptures to find out what is really going to happen.

In 1995, in my book "God’s Church, Prophecy in Motion,” I revealed who The Son of Perdition was. I know, because I was there, and saw it happen between 1964 and 1972. And, in the process of time, God made me to realize what had actually happened. Truly, one of the big prophecies is behind us, but most prominent Christian leaders are still insisting that we anticipate its fulfillment in the future. Of this prophecy, in particular, Paul admonished us to not let anyone deceive us by any means, saying that Jesus could, or would come before the Son of Perdition had been revealed (2 Thess. 2:1-10). Gentile Christianity has fallen into the same errors as did Israel of old, in spite of Paul’s admonition to us in Romans 11, saying, "Take heed that He also spare not thee.” Christianity has become polluted with idolatry, disobedience and rebellion against the Word of God. We have fallen into a trap because of the errors which we have inherited from our spiritual "fathers,” over the last few centuries. And we have fallen into a spiritual slumber; even the Churches of God which, because of their prophecy-driven activities and anointed prophets for leaders, didn’t actually succumb until that profane wicked Prince was manifested and had fallen. Therefore, Paul had to admonish the Church of God to "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Eph. 5:13-17). He was speaking expressly to those of us who are looking back upon the fulfillment of Ezekiel 21:24-27. Some of the "wrinkles,” which lie upon our table of doctrines, have been particularly instrumental in blinding our eyes to the truth in this critical and momentous time. Because of these doctrines, Jesus will come, the marriage will take place, and they will not believe any part of it. But we must heed Paul’s admonition, "Therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober” (1 Thess. 5;3-7).

In the first Century A.D., an election believed it and received the benefits which had been promised (Rom. 11:7). That is exactly what will happen to Gentile Christianity in the next few short years. Israel was given the "sign of Jonah,” long before the day of the Lord’s wrath came upon them. Likewise, we will be given the "sign of Noah,” just before the day of the Lord comes upon spiritual Israel now. We really need to recognize this "Noah,” and his work, before "The enemy shall come in like a flood” (Isa. 49:19; Jer. 46:8; Zeph. 2:1-3). The erroneous doctrine of "the son of perdition” is on Christianity’s doctrinal "table” with several other doctrines, all of which will have the same devastating effect upon the Christians who are holding to a false hope because of it. These doctrines limit the ability of Christians to believe what God is doing now, and will do in the immediate future, before Jesus comes (Acts 3:19-21). Another of those errors is the doctrine of "The Rapture.” I published an article in our church magazine, in 1966: "The Rapture, The Christian’s Great Sleeping Pill.” It has been long nap, and it is now time to wake up. The popular "Antichrist” doctrine is a good bedfellow with the "Rapture” doctrine, especially insomuch as neither can be found in the Bible. Yet, I am told that if I do not believe in The Rapture, I will be lost. How can I be lost for not believing in something which is not even mentioned in the Holy Scriptures? Oh, Antichrist is mentioned in the Bible, but never in relationship to a particular individual. Some other misleading doctrines of today include the erroneous application of the Holy Scriptures concerning The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, The Restoration of Israel, The Abomination of Desolation, and others. These subjects need to be understood, and that very soon. To have misunderstood them, up until now, was not particularly perilous, but there is only a few months remaining of the six thousand years God has allotted us. It is time we got busy and found out the truth of these things.

The Elect of God must wake up, and that very soon, and come together in the unity of the faith. The cry is going forth, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.” All of God’s "spiritual Israel,” who "are called, and chosen, and faithful,” will come together, and "(stand) upon their feet, an exceeding great army (of the Kingdom of God)” (Ezek. 37:10).

If you have a real Bible, you have "the words of God,” but, until you know the true meaning of those words, you do not have "the Word of God.” It is time to get your Bible out, read it, discover the truth of it, and believe it.

Satan's Biggest Attack Part 1& 2 Apostle Tim & Rhonda Benitez

Did you know the biggest attacks against Christians is other Christians especially leaders, many have been hurt and spiritually murdered by other Christians, an the hardest one to get over is when a leader hurts you, Satan knows this and uses this attack to get you to walk in bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, brokeness, and uselessness I am going to be doing a message on how to overcome this attack and move on in your calling, tis is caused mostly by the spirit of division, God Bless The purpose of this message is because I have seen so many hurt and especially some who have been in Ministry for years, I have been in Ministry for about 24 years and have suffered many inflictions and wounds especially from Church leaders, and church councils, and boards, and other Christians, it seems like the more you try and serve the Lord the more people come against you, your family,and your character, for those in Ministry the biggest attacks come from the closet to you, the ones you mostly love,and even of your own household, these attacks hurt so bad and can keep an open wound constantly hurting if not dealt with, a broken spirit is the hardest thing to come through and can be very damaging, sometimes the results can be spiritual murder, but as I have come through all this so can you, The first question to ask yourself is" is this where God has truly called me?" then you have to respect no matter what, Gods delegated authority, then you have to submit to them as unto the Lord this makes them accountable, a good leader will help you walk in your calling and anointing, in some cases some leaders won't do this and may have either control, jealousy, envy and strife

with you, it's their problem, your main focus is on serving the Lord and being a servant with a servants heart, humble, If your leader is doing wrong you have to pray for them, and remember God hates discord, discord brings division and rebellion, you have to be careful not to fall into Satan's trick of this, if you fall into this it will steal your anointing,the other thing to remember is Satan is out to destroy you, if he can he will get you into the same sin Aaron and his wife did with Moses by questioning Gods authority in a person,always remember the word says touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm, the pattern for Satanic attacks are first to get you to either fall into sin, if he can get you separated from God by sin he'll put every temptation in your way, if he can't tempt you, he will try causing people to gossip, the main objective is to destroy your character, to keep you from walking in your anointing or finding out your calling, or place in the body of Christ,the next thing is to mess up your communication or supply, your supply is where you get fed the word to help you grow and equip you, he will do all he can to stop you from growing, the purpose is when you grow you become aware of his devices and you're a threat to him, and to his Kingdom, if he can keep you distracted or sidetracked he will, if not then he has to try and divide you away from where you fit in, this is where he uses those close to you, because it can break your spirit or cause you to be more concerned on dealing with the issue at hand and stops you from flowing with the Holy Spirit, many times this is where he plants seeds of discord where people or leaders won't recognize your anointing or gifting, he keeps afflicting on your emotions a feelings for this purpose, the more you yield or are blinded by this the more bondage you are put in, this is where bitterness, resentment,separation and loneliness comes he afflicts your flesh, Remember the Just shall live by Faith, not by feelings and emotions, overcome this by either confrontation,or prayer, confrontations done right builds relationship, don't confront out of anger, or pride, this message is going to be a series so I will stop here but there is more to come, my prayer is to encourage and strengthen you, you will come through and operate in your gifting and calling,

Satan's Biggest Attack Part 2 The first part of this shows that we must respect Gods delegated Authority no matter what,if you are in a place because of any other reason other than this is where God wants you you can be miserable and in bondage, but if you are in the place God wants you then you can't be ruled by feelings and emotions you have to bring them under subjection to the Holy Spirit, "Those who are in the spirit are led by the spirit" Romans 8:14,flesh and emotions are carnal, even though we can move with Love and compassion, so you have to know that you are there because God wants you there no matter what anyone else thinks, Man or Woman you are under may be only for a season, so know when that season is and if it is over seek the Lord for what to do next, many times we get emotionally attached and try and hang on, but on the flip side of that Satan tries to get you disconnected to weaken you and really take you out, remember we need each other in the body of Christ, so don't get bitter or isolate yourself, sometimes too we have to just take a break to really seek God but don't make this a habit this is another way Satan misleads you, find a place that Will encourage and strengthen you but not try and pull you from where you are, a good leader will try and get you to be all you can be for the Lord, to bring out the best in you, The problem is many leaders want to keep you in a box and won't allow you to grow or move in your gifting, without getting puffed up or thinking with the attitude that you are more spiritual than them ask yourself is this really where God wants me again remember you can be more in tune with the Lord than your leader in some cases but never to rule over them, but there may be something God wants you to learn from them, "Joseph when sold by his brothers to slavery learned humility, forgiveness,humbleness, submission, and in that process came to understand unconditional love and the true ways of God and later took care of his brothers ad ministered to them and Governed over them but not with resentment, hatred, anger, unforgiveness or any other bad emotional trait, but was humbly excited and happy to be reunited with

them,to look from a carnal view it was a terrible experience of bondage, but looking at it spiritually he was being trained to Govern with authority and really over Pharaoh though in the natural he was second in command, What appears to most in the natural is not the way it is in the Kingdom of God, when I was going through the hurts and let downs I was being prepared for what I now walk in, I could have never be who I am in the Lord without going through it, but in the right timing God raises us up regardless of what anyone else thinks, all we have to do is be faithful in the insignificant little things and he will make us rule over bigger things, to do this we have to submit, obey, stand strong, pray for strength, keep our eyes on the Lord and not man, don't give in to vain imaginations, stay in unity with others for strength,I heard one lady say when always being accused of the women of the church they would always accuse her of being a Jezebel and he said to them one day I know I don't have a Jezebel spirit because all of you are praying it out of me, remember with anointing comes much opposition to take you out or stop the anointing the devils biggest tools and weapons are those of your own household, family or church family, he will use them all to take you down, I am going to have to do a series on this because there is so much to cover my prayer is that you can walk in your God given purpose and destiny and be a part of the body of Christ you are suppose to be

BE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE AND STOP PRETENDING TO BE WHAT YOU ARE NOT: BY MARY BOLDEN

Be who you say you are, not just wear a title or hide behind the pastor or church name or denomination you're affiliated with. That's a form of bondage, my brother and sister. Denomination will get you no where but damnation if that is what you're depending on for your salvation. The pastor can't save you. If he is preaching the truly unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ, he is pointng you in the right direction in order that you may get saved, but there is only one Savior and His name is Jesus Christ! So many are caught up in denominational barriers, they need deliverance from that because as I fore stated, it's not going to get you saved. Some are so wrapped up, tied up, and tangled up in the building called "church" and /or in the pastor , who is just a man, though he's called of God, he still makes mistakes as any human. He needs the prayers of the saints of God just like any member in his congregation does. Lots of people want to see them almost as "gods". And our God is a jealous God! He said, "thou shalt have noooo other gods before me!" So surrender your all in all to Jesus, child of God and come out of bondage and don't allow yourself to ever again be in that terrible state of bondage again. Be set free. Let me tell you how..."and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!" Now, just in case you don't know Him as I do,let me introduce to some and remind others that JESUS is the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No man can come unto the Father except through Him (JESUS)!!! Be blessed of the Lord and let Him set you free from alllll bondages. love in Christ Jesus, Prophetess Sister Mary

OPEN DOORS, OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS: ADDED BY PROPHETESS MOTHER JOYCE BENNETT (MEMORIAL)

PHI 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. PHI 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name...!

We often talk about the privileges of being a child of God forgiveness, salvation, a future in heaven with him, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and ultimate victory when Christ comes. One of the greatest privileges we get, however, is the opportunity to act toward those who dislike and hate us in a way that reflects the character of God himself. Anyone can return hate for hate, but it takes a child of God to return a blessing and a prayer for his or her enemies...! [Jesus said,] "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven...! Matthew 5:43-45.

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within every body's power and is not easy...!

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit...!

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor...!

The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons...! "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." (Colossians 1:16). Before one can really know Jesus Christ as Savior or Lord, he must acknowledge Him as offended and rejected Creator, because He was our Creator first of all. This is such an important doctrine of the New Testament that it is remarkable how rarely it is emphasized in modern evangelicalism. Creation by Jesus Christ is the doctrine with which John begins his great gospel of salvation: "In the beginning was the Word, . . . All things were made by him; . . . and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not" (John 1:1, 3, 10). It is the foundational message of the book of Hebrews: "God. . . . hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). The apostle Paul said that he had been called specifically to preach "the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 3:8-9).

When a person becomes a believer in Christ, receiving His very life by the new birth, he is said to be "renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him" (Colossians 3:10). In the final book of the Bible, Jesus Christ is called the "Alpha . . . the beginning . . . the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8), as well as "the beginning of the creation of God" (3:14). But of all the biblical passages identifying Jesus Christ as Creator, the most definitive of all is our text for today. Everything in heaven and earth was created by Him, and for Him! "For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen" (Romans 11:36). In closing, let me urge you to make this desire practical. If you really glorify God, take care to do it not with lip-service, which dies away in the wind, but with solid homage of daily life. Praise Him by your patience in pain, by your perseverance in duty, by your generosity in his cause, by your boldness in testimony, by your consecration to His work; praise him, my dear brothers and sisters, not only this morning in what you do for Him in your offerings, but praise Him every day by doing something for God in all sorts of ways, according to the manner in which He has been pleased to bless you. I wish I could have spoken worthily on such a topic as this, but a dull, heavy headache sits upon me, and I feel that a thick gloom overshadows my words, out of which I look with longing, but cannot rise.

For this I may well grieve, but nevertheless God the Holy Ghost can work the better through our weakness, and if you will try and preach the sermon to yourselves, my brethren, you will do it vastly better than I can; if you will meditate upon this text this afternoon, "Of him, through Him, and to Him are all things,” I am sure you will be led to fall on your knees with the apostle, and say, "To Him be glory for ever;” and then you will rise up, and practically in your life, give Him honor, putting the "Amen” to this doxology by your own individual service of your great and gracious Lord. May He give a blessing now, and accept your thank-offering through Christ Jesus...! To Him be the glory...indeed let us...Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse, Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness, Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre, Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe, Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. JUST...Praise the LORD!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL, IN JESUS HOLY NAME!

ONE IN CHRIST? by LINDA FAWKES ....LIVING STONES MINISTRY!â&#x2022;Ź

I am writing this article with a very HEAVY heart. It may seem controversial to some. I am an encourager and do not like to admonish people but I feel that God is very sad at the moment - because of the way some Christians treat one another. I have been a "born-again" Christian for 36 years. Jesus stormed into my life at nineteen years old and I had an "overnight" Damascus conversion. Previously I knew NOTHING of God and when I heard the Gospel the scales were lifted off my eyes and I had a heart to evangelise THE GOOD NEWS John 3 v 16. I suffered for many years with anorexia/bulimia and the response I got from some Christians made it worse. They told me I was worshipping the God of Anorexia, I had demons and I was cursed. I had numerous deliverance services and none of them helped me. In fact it made it worse. I felt humiliated that I, Linda Fawkes, who loved the Lord ,was seen as an Anorexic Worshipper - when really it was a terrible illness brought about by sexual child abuse. I suffered alot at the hands of Christians. Indeed they treated me far worse then non-Christians. I was in and out of hospital and people with addictions were very understanding and we helped one another to persevere. We could identify with each other and I made some lovely friends. I still see them today and some of them are better and some are still battling in their addiction - but I have a great deal of respect for them. Battling addiction is very hard and it was only when THE LORD HEALED ME - I was free. In HIS time - and in HIS way.

I got to a point where I was dying eight years ago. I had lost the fight to live. I looked like a skeleton and my skin bled. I couldn't sit in the bath or on a chair because my bones stuck out and my husband cried because my skin was transparent. I knew I needed to eat - to live - and bring up my children - but the fear of eating was too great and I no longer had anything left to fight with. All my strength had gone. I knew Jesus still loved me but the church I was attending forbade me to join in with worship and helping others until I had reached 7 stone - which for me seemed impossible. I had to sit in church and not join in - feeling weak and ill AND HUMILIATED. I had been going there for 28 years and been a very active member - and now - I was forbidden to do things until I was 7 stone. I was heartbroken. I left the Church and was alone with God. No church no support. I felt like I was being crucified having to sit in church and not join in. I FELT SUCH SHAME. It broke my heart. Eight years ago I wandered into a Catholic Church to buy a card. I asked the priest to pray for me. I told him I was dying. He said he would like to help me and although I wasn't Catholic I had no one else to help. I went to see him every week and all he did was LISTEN. He didn't preach, didn't give me rules, didn't lay any expectations on me. HE JUST LISTENED. AND HE ALLOWED ME TO BE ME AND TO FEEL SAD EMOTIONS without telling me it was a sin to be depressed. So many times through the years I had been depressed, self-harming and suicidal. When I shared it with other Christians they would shove a positive Bible verse at me saying "Rejoice in the Lord!" and I never understood who I was or how I felt. I had to deny ALL NEGATIVE FEELINGS and put on a happy smile because that is what this church did. Father Michael however NEVER EVER criticised me, and because I was allowed to voice my feelings without fear, I began to understand WHY I HAD ANOREXIA/BULIMIA and this in itself was a major step to being healed.

I became a Catholic six months later, followed by my mum and my husband. I found the reflective atmosphere and symbolism very helpful for my emotionally damaged mind and I sat many hours at the feet of Jesus praying. I started drawing, playing the organ, doing Sunday School and I found that I was NO LONGER running away from my feelings. Because I understood them - the fear of them had been broken and as I continued to sit in the Lord's presence and do new things I got totally healed. I was totally healed about three years ago. I no longer think about food, weight, calories or being fat. I have come to terms with the sexual abuse and forgiven the perpertrator. I SHOOK THE HAND OF PEACE WITH MYSELF and now I KNOW in God's sight I am precious - because He made me and Jesus died for me. I live to preach the Gospel. It is forever in my heart and mind. Jesus died for the Salvation of everyone and rose from the dead and longs to give New Life to those who ask and seek his face. So why am I sad? Surely it is a time for rejoicing? Not so my friends. For I find that on Facebook many people are constantly saying how wrong Catholics are and they are sending people to hell. They are explaining the Catholic faith in a totally false manner and I am heartbroken that fellow Christians should spend huge amounts of time pulling other people's faith to pieces - instead of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that people will know we are Christians by our love. Yet time and time again I find arguing going on between churches - saying this is wrong or that is wrong. This causes division between Churches and the world sees Christians fighting each other instead of uniting together to preach the Gospel. I am not here to preach the Catholic faith. I am not here to preach any denomination. I am here to preach Christ Crucified. It is not up to any individual to tell another that their faith is wrong and will send them to hell. JESUS KNOWS THE HEART AND ONLY HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON.

I believe God wants us to preach the Gospel of Jesus TOGETHER and unite together in what we DO BELIEVE - not waste precious time having slanging matches. It is a disgrace and dishonours God. At the end of the day John 3 v 16 says it all. God looks at WHY we pray not HOW we pray. We may sit, kneel, stand on our head, pray in tongues, pray in English, be slain in the Spirit or stand upright. There isn't a right or wrong way. GOD LOOKS AT OUR HEART AND THAT IS ALL THAT COUNTS. I love Jesus - He has healed me and now my life is overflowing with freedom and joy. AND YES I STILL ATTEND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH! But Jesus is central in my life and always will be. I have listened to Him for 36 years and I have been healed. I have been used to instantly heal others and bring people to the Lord. YOU CANNOT BOX GOD! God acts where He wants - How He wants in all kinds of ways. He is unique and compassionate and does not judge - but loves. I really pray that the churches will unite as one and CONCENTRATE ON PREACHING THE GOSPEL and showing the Love of Christ to all who they meet. It is time to stop fighting for your denomination or arguing about traditions. TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. It is time to put down all false ideas and judgemental thoughts and accept that if Jesus accepts me and others then no one has the right to say different. Lord forgive us when we think we know who is right or wrong. Help us to read your Word and concentrate on our RELATIONSHIP with YOU. Help us to discern your will and be instruments of reconciliation and healing. We can hear your still small voice if we take time out to listen and Your Holy Spirit is the only teacher and Guide we need. We need to fully rely on you alone God. Help us to do this. For only you Lord can save us. No one else. Bring our World to repentance and may Heaven and Earth embrace and sing - the suffering Lamb is now the King. IN JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN.

Thank you Lord. You will never abandon me, always offer your loving arms to me and listen and respect me - knowing I am on a journey and we are ALL "practicising" Christians. No one has got it totally perfect - but You. The only way to Heaven is through Jesus. ONE WAY - JESUS. May we keep this in our minds and start seeing each other as people - not denominations IN JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always. AMEN AND AMEN. I love you all - and always will. You are ALL PRECIOUS. written by Linda Fawkes (c) Copyright 2011 All rights reserved MAY WE UNITE IN SHARING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!

A WORD FROM THE LORD: WITH PASTOR JEFF GODSOWN

Why do you cry out to Me, I want more of You Lord, but when I take you to the precipice, you refuse to step out on the invisible steps of faith so I might take you to the next level? Determine in your hearts, do not fear the unknown. Did I not tell you I will not give you what you cannot handle? If I am God who is love, will I let you fall to hurt? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you believe I will protect you and will remain with you? Come to the knowledge of Me and My love for you! Now! Step up and step out!

Don't Lose Sight Of Christ's Return By Rev. Donna Jean Braman

According to the signs of the times, we are in the last days! Paul said brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. For this we say unto you, for those of us who remain alive in the Lord will not prevent those who are asleep to stop them from coming up from those graves." 1 Thessalonians 4:13. For the Lord himself will descend with a shout, with the voice of the arch angel with a trumpet sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Those who remain alive shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord. The word rapture is not in the bible but the word caught-up is. We are going to be caught up, so don't lose sight of his return. Oh let us have the light of the word in our churches. I hope that in bringing some scripture in this teaching that it will give you comfort and joy, and a heart as a Christian. When you lose your vision of the Lord's coming you lose your way through the wilderness of life. When you lose your vision of the Lord's coming, you begin to live on a carnal, flesh level. You begin to get caught up in the things that are going on around you in society. If we knew that Jesus could come at any time or moment and we knew we must come face to face then every Christian would say, I

must be a better Christian. They would admit that they need to live a better life because I can sense that the coming of the Lord is at hand. We live in a troubled world and in troubled times. Look at the problems we're having today right here in America. We've got an oil spill that our government has not been able to stop and will be unlikely to have a recourse on the damage done to the earth. We have economic problems, set backs, cut backs, and bailouts. We are in perilous times like the Apostle Paul preached. We're in the last days and the world system is being set up at this very moment for the Anti-Christ. The world doesn't have any idea what's going on. But I'm telling you, there is no man that can fix it. The signs of the times show that we are in the prophetic days of the end. So we had better make our calling and election sure. Jesus said, I'll build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Don't lose sight of his return! The Apostle Paul labeled this hour that we're living in as perilous times. But there is a day that he is coming to deliver his church from it all. He's coming for a glorious, triumphant, victorious church; a church without blemish, spot or wrinkle, or any such thing. It's going to be a holy church. It's not going to be a prosperity church. What's going to bring in the end time harvest is the gospel of Jesus Christ and ministers that will stand up and proclaim, Thus saith the Lord. That same Jesus that died on the cross is coming. The same Jesus that rose from the dead is coming. That same Jesus is coming back for his bride, the church. Those who have been washed in the blood of the lamb is who he is coming for, and those who are looking for his glorious return. Look at Hebrews 9:28. Some people think that the true church will have to go through the tribulation but the bible says, God has not appointed us unto wrath

but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. The true church's appointment is to glory. Our destination is heaven. When Christ appears, guess what, we're going to disappear. When he comes we're going to leave this place, to a city that has no night. It will be a city which has a foundation and whose builder and maker is God. This is the blessed hope for the church. This is why we're looking for him. Because we know this world is not our home. We're just pilgrims and strangers passing through, sojourning here. One fellow said to my Pastor, do you believe in aliens? I liked his answer. He said, I sure do, cause I'm one of them. I am an ambassador from the glory world and I'm on a mission for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ to preach his word. Titus 2:13. Think about it, right now Christ is in heaven and the Holy Ghost is at work here on earth. There are two groups of people in this world. You are either saved or you're lost. It's just that simple. Jesus is either your Lord or he's not. You are either righteous or you're not. You are either holy or you are unholy. You are either ready to meet him or you're not. You're either a servant of God or you belong to the devil. There is no in between.Bob Dylan sang a song once called 'You got to serve somebody." When the Lord snatched me out of darkness and transferred me into light I know who I was going to serve from then on. It was like the song, "It was a great thing that he did for me." I'm telling you how Christ did it, how he took all of that mess out of me; how he transformed my life after he flushed the filth out of my system. I don't know, but I fell in love with him at that moment and I've been in love with him ever since.

The bible says, to set your affections on things above, not on things of this world. For when he appears then shall we appear with him in glory. Don't lose sight of his return. The next prophetic thing to occur on God's calendar is the coming of the Lord for his church. First of all, when he comes there's going to be three great sounds. There's going to be a shout first, and it's going to be a mighty shout of victory and power. Jesus stood at Lazarus' tomb one day and he cried, "Come forth." Lazarus was dead but guess what, he heard the voice of the Master, and he came forth out of that tomb. When Jesus descends with a shout, it will pierce the graves and penetrate the depths of the sea. It will be heard by every saint on this earth. The bible says our body will be fashioned like unto his glorious body. The body with it's aches and pains will be gone and we'll have a brand new body. Secondly, there's going to be the voice of the arch angel. Think about this, Jesus will be leading a heavenly host of angels. Then thousand upon ten thousand upon ten thousands of angelic beings.

You know, nothing can be around our Lord in heaven that does not reverence him and I believe the angels that surround him worship him day and night. I believe they gather around him on the Sabbath and say, lets go to the earthly church and have a great camp meeting down there. They've got some people over there at that church that likes to worship, sing and praise to me! You know there's some churches that if Jesus was to show up the people wouldn't even know that he had even come. I got something for my Lord, a Holy Spirit filled, fire packed gospel, and I'm going to hold

on to it no matter who don't like it. I'm going to keep my sight on the things of God and on the coming of the Lord. Thirdly, there's going to be the trumpet sound. Then we will see the appearing of our Lord. The bible says the Lord himself will descend from heaven. It's a promise, John 14:3. Jesus loves his church! He gave himself for it. He looks upon the intent of the heart and he knows our lying down and when we rise. The eyes of the Lord is running to and fro across the earth to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect on him. Jesus is coming back just like he left, with his disciples at the Mt. of Olives. This same Jesus that was taken up before you will come again in a like manner as you saw him go into heaven. He left on a cloud and he's coming back on a cloud. He left with the arch angel and he's coming back with an arch angel. He left in power and he's coming back in power. He left in glory and he's coming back in glory. Those that are looking for him shall see him appear the second time, without sin unto salvation. Aren't you glad you are saved! If you are not fall on your knees with a contrite heart and ask his forgiveness and he will cover you in his blood. Throw your anchor out for Christ and he will pull you into his marvelous light. The heavens are going to burst open and Jesus will appear in mid air, suspended between heaven and earth. Jesus was once before suspended between heaven and earth. Cruel men hung him upon an old rugged cross yet Jesus loved them and he cried out from that cross, father forgive them for they know not what they do. Matthew 11:28. He loved us so much he said, "all you who are heavy ladened, come unto me and I will give you rest." For the joy that was set

before him, he endured the cross because he knew we would come. He tells us, now go out and bring them in so that my house will be full. He's going to fill up that glory world. He is enlarging it all the time but God is going to have a people in glory land and it's going to be the saints that loved him and overcame. That joy fills him, and his heart is filled with anticipation to be with his bride as he hovers between heaven and earth. He can't wait to see the joy that fills us at his presence. It's going to be a reunion the world will never forget! So don't lose sight of his return! Let me tell you what's going to happen on this earth when he comes. I'll give it to you straight from the word. The dead that were not saved, their grave will not open. They will sleep on in their graves. Those who have done good will come forth. Those who have done evil will go to a damnation. The bible says, blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection but those who die without Christ are not blessed and holy. The lost in their graves will sleep in the grave for another 1,000 years. Then the great tribulation period comes. They will be raised and brought before the great white throne judgment. Their fate is a lake of fire and hell damnation. It's a time when all lost sinners will be judged and those who rejected Jesus Christ. Those in the church who didn't obey the gospel and Christ will not make it either. Wealth nor good works alone will not save you from this judgment. The fearful, the liars, thieves, abominable sexual deviants, sorcerers, adulterers will all have flames of fire upon them in the judgment. Those whose names are not written in the book of life will be at the great white throne judgment. This will be a final judgment, from its verdict there will be absolutely no appeal. The bible tells us plainly that those whose name

is not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone for eternity. This is the sword of death. Your body is dead and your soul and your spirit has no life to ever experience joy. You will pray to die but can't. The sounds and the smells will torture your mind and senses forever. This is the second death. This is what the devil has in store for you that listen to him and follow after sin of the flesh and mind and evil hidden in your hearts. The devil is a tempter because he knows we are weak in the flesh, but Christ's blood gives us power to give that up so we can overcome. Hell is a place of darkness, a place of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Suffering night and day forever, and ever and ever. This is a biblical truth, that all men without Christ are appointed unto death and that afterward unto judgment. Sinners don't have to leave this world without Christ. Backsliders in the church don't have to leave this world in that condition. Never lose sight of what Christ has done for you or forget his promise of return. It is those that are expecting him and looking for him that will see him. Today is the day of salvation. You better work out your salvation with fear and trembling. John said, blessed are the dead who die in Christ. John 3:2, Col. 3:4. This is why I sing and shout because I know he is soon to come and I rejoice in his sanctuary. Are you living in his light and living holy for him night and day? Resist the devil! Draw night to Christ and righteousness will come and the devil will flee, for he will fear you with the anointing of Christ on you.

POEMS OF INSPRIRATION POSTED ON SHEPHERDS BY PASTOR JOEL MCNABB

No Time To Pray By K. J. Koshy I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease. All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down... But never found the time" Posted By Joel Mcnabb

Light of My Life by Ellen Bailey Jesus is the light of my life He leads me in a direction I know is right He holds onto my hand and never lets go He is the heart of my heart, soul of my soul I no longer fear the things yet to be For He will be there to protect me No purer love than His can be found I know He will never let me down He fills my needs for today and tomorrow He soothes my heartaches and my sorrows He dispels thoughts of darkness and doom He diffuses those feelings of cloudy gloom If you find yourself stumbling in the dark Turn to Jesus for an added spark He will light up your life as He did mine He is a beacon that will forever shines Posted By Joel Mcnabb Christ in Me the Hope of His Glory by Patricia Stierwalt At times I love, at times I cry And sometimes I'll be honest I don't know why. But I have learned that without pain

There is no gain. I choose to run to the Lord in prayer, Because He knows all my cares. I choose to lay my burdens down And one day I'll trade all this for a crown. When you count the cost And your focus lies on saving the LOST, You'll pick up your cross and move on like me. Learn to enjoy the storms of life and the Deep Sea. We are healed by our words and our testimony And the BLOOD of Jesus only. Our faith is now revealed to me Because the devil no longer can do as he please. Peace and joy are my best friends, I plan to embrace them until the end. My life, my life as it unfolds, has no end only steps into glory, Because my Jesus who lives in me, He alone has set me free. Now I enjoy life and have the victory.

MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD : BY CHERRY STOLTZ (A RERUN )

Copyright Cherry Stoltz 1997 Using Cruden’s Concordance, I found 20 references in the NIV that contain the words ‘help from the Lord’ – 16 in the O.T. and 4 in the N. T. It also seems that the words ‘deliver’ and ‘save’ can be substituted in each case. I’ve been thinking a lot about this. In modern-day English we always think of ‘help’ as meaning ‘lending assistance’. I believe God is all-powerful and allsufficient, so any work to be done in us can only be carried out by Him and Him alone.

In Psalm 109:26 & 27, David stressed the fact that he desires God to make it known to all men that He alone does the work. Isaiah 41:10-14 tells us that God is speaking directly to Israel (and indirectly to you and I), saying that it’s God alone who strengthens us, upholds us, fights our battles, holds our hand and calms our fears. Can we then presume to lend assistance, in any way whatsoever? We are God’s servants. I can’t find a single instance in the Bible of anyone helping God by doing part of the work needed in their lives. How can we be involved in this work if we are the problem to start with? It would be like the blind leading the blind. Worse – more like the dead trying to lead the dead back to life. Obviously, God is the only One worthy and able to do so. In 2 Corinthians 3:5, Paul states, quite categorically, that our competence comes from God and also that we have no competence.

I notice that, in some places, the word ‘help’ is used in the NIV while the King James version uses the word ‘sufficiency’. This means ‘adequate’ or ‘enough’. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 & 10, God says His grace is sufficient for us and His power is made perfect in our weakness. I’m believe God is saying that we need only Him - no more and no less. With Paul, I believe we must gladly boast of our weaknesses so that God’s power can rest on us. Surely, when we’re truly made aware of our weakness and impotence, then God is able to work His strength in us, if we totally surrender - and we will no longer offer Him our pathetic competition or proud rejection. Time and time again, I keep reading this repeated phrase, ‘It is I, even I who do these things’. The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega. If we count ourselves as dead – corpses – crucified with and by Christ on the cross, we can only expect to have life in Christ - not in ourselves - because, in reality, we’re dead. There really is no good in us, only in Jesus. When God looks at those who have accepted Jesus, He sees His Son – perfect and sinless. As a corpse, we can’t raise ourselves up and lend assistance in making ourselves alive. Galations 5:17 tells us that our flesh - our sinful nature our ‘self’ - is contrary to (or opposed in nature and tendency to) God’s Holy Spirit. Our nature and God’s Spirit are actually in

conflict with each other. We cannot both live in the same place at the same time: one of us has to go! When we’re not in communication with God in my heart, sin takes over again. God says that we belong to Christ, therefore we must live by His Spirit, keeping in step with His Spirit. If we

sincerely and quickly confess our sins and remain in Him - in our hearts - this is where God wants us: constantly in His love, comfort and protection. It appears that the only solution (in Romans 8) is to live our lives through God’s Spirit, controlled by His Spirit. It also seems that our endeavours and endless struggles against sin and disobedience are rather futile as this is work You alone have to do in us. This is the Good News: the gospel of love that Jesus came to tell us! If that doesn’t make us run to Christ with joy and in submission, I don’t know what will. What incredible comfort for those who feel useless, ungodly, failures and throwaways. God is speaking to you: He loves you more than you’ve ever known before. Take a step of faith and believe Him. He alone holds freedom.

Lord, write this on our foreheads and our arms and in our hearts, so that whenever we try to help You to make us perfect, You’ll remind us that we’re dead - but alive in Christ! Teach us to firmly believe in, and understand, Your substitutionary death on the cross. Teach us the limitless extent of Your sanctuary, so that we quickly run to hide in You when danger from without or within threatens, as well as in the times we feel ‘safe’. Teach us to rest in the blessed assurance that You can, and will, do this work in us. Lord, liberate us from the bondage of sin and bring us into glorious freedom in Your holy presence. Teach us what it really means to be perfect, as You are perfect.

THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE : ADDED BY JOYCE BENNETT (A MEMORIAL & FOOTPRINTS LEFT IN THE SAND

Matthew 26:75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.â&#x20AC;? So he went out and wept bitterly.

At some point in our Christian walk, most of us have had our personal "Peter moment” where we denied Jesus Christ. In Peter’s case, he failed to own up to the fact that he knew Jesus and was a follower. Some of us may have denied Christ in similar ways by not identifying ourselves as a true follower of Jesus Christ. Few professing Christians, short of a gun to their head, will stoop to the level of vocally saying "Jesus is NOT the Lord”, an obvious hell-bound denial and demonstration of unbelief. But many of us continue to deny Christ daily by how we live. Consider the message the Lord gave to the Faithful Church of Philadelphia. This shows that not keeping His commandments is in fact a denial of Christ. Jesus knows our works which show whether we have kept His word and not denied His name. Rev 3:7-8 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8

"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

We may not deny Christ overtly by stating we are not a Christian or that we do not believe but most Christians deny Christ implicitly by our actions or in-actions. We deny Christ by our deeds, the same deeds on which we shall be judged on the last day. We should fear the consequences if we do not turn back to God with a true faith demonstrated by our complete trust and diligent obedience to His commandments. Unfortunately, we never hear much about denying Christ from our pulpits and what we do hear is in fact only half a gospel, which does not a true gospel make. I have even heard famous pastors tell direct lies to the congregants by making such statements as "Jesus will never deny you” or "the Lord will never leave you or forsake you”. In proper context these sayings are true but the context that is missing is of ultra importance as I will show later. Here is what Jesus said about denying Him. Matthew 10:33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Jesus taught Paul by revelation and hence we get the same message by His Apostle. 2 Tim 2:12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. Denying Christ shows one’s true status as a believer. Jesus is our mediator with the Father and the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father except through Jesus. He is the ONLY way. If we DENY Christ, He will deny us to the Father and there will be no way to enter heaven. So understanding what denying Christ is all about is of live saving importance. As we find out later in the gospels, Jesus forgives Peter for his denial and Peter became the lead Christian in starting the early church. Hallelujah!!! Our God of mercy will forgive us IF we turn back and follow Him.

Forsaking of God...! We have been deceived by and large and have failed to truly grasp the truth on forsaking of God. 1 Chronicles 15:2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you WHEN you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. Forsaking God was the way denying God was described in the Old Testament translations. In every case the forsaking was because people separated themselves from God by their sin and unrepentant heart. To forsake means to abandon or renounce somebody or something. There are at least 20 passages that make it clear from our God who changes not, that if we forsake Him, He will forsake us. This has always been and remains part of God’s law which Jesus’ coming did not change. So if we abandon God, He will abandon us, He does not the play the child's game of hide-n-go-seek! If we are separated from God, it is because WE have abandoned God, not that He abandons us. God honors our free will, if we choose to leave Him, He does not force us to stay. Let’s review a few Old Testament passages to get the feel for what God said about forsaking Him...! Deut 31:16-17 And the LORD said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them. On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?’

The world and most of the professing church has forsaken the Lord. People confuse Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word by cherry picking the passages where the Lord says He will never leave us or forsake us. Those statements are conditional statements as the whole of scripture attests. If we forsake God, He most definitely will forsake us. This is where most Christians are today. Because the judge comes quickly, time to repent and turn back to God and truly seek Him and follow Him is growing very short. 1 Chron 28:9 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Joshua 24:20 If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has been good to you.â&#x20AC;? Judgment is coming soon my friends, this is the consistent recurring message I keep hearing from God. The bridegroom cometh and we had best make sure there is oil in our lamps. Judges 10:13 But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you. This is really the exact same thing Jesus said in Matthew 10:33 that was highlighted earlier. Forsake or Deny Christ and you have no salvation as there is no longer any way to the Father. Many Christians serve other Gods by what they focus on and by what they do. Their worship by their lips is indeed in vain.

How We Deny Christ or Forsake God...! 1. Unbelievers: Anyone who does not truly believe in Christ clearly denies Christ from the get go. Their denial and forsaking of God is overt, direct, explicit and will lead them straight to Hell on Judgment Day. Romans 1:20-22 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools The wise of this world are fools to God. Do not be deceived, God will not be mocked. Doing good deeds and being a nice person won’t cut it, Jesus is the only way to the Father. Sadly the majority of professing Christians have contributed to the emboldening of non-believers. They see many "believers” living in sin and acting no different from the rest of the world and conclude this religion is a farce. False Religions: Millions believe in the God of Abraham but are really unbelievers as it relates to Christ. I worry about many that do good works, seek to live Holy lives but expressly DENY Christ and who He is and what He has done to save us. Organizations such as the Jehovah Witnesses’ and the Mormons, but there are many others, expressly deny the Deity of Christ and Almighty God. Jesus is the only way. Nobody comes to the Father except thru Him. Believers: Many say they believe in Jesus but their action belie what they proclaim with their mouth. Practice Sin: Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. We are told that if we are truly Born Again we cannot practice sin. Those that twist Paul’s teachings and believe they can keep on sinning deny the power of Christ to

transform lives and overcome the power of sin. Jesus came to set us free and if we have been set free, we are free indeed. Does this verse from Paul describe you? If so, you are denying Christ my friend. 2 Tim 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3

unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4

traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5

having a form of godliness (i.e. they are religious) but DENYING its power (living in continued unrepentant sin). And from such people turn away! Jesus did not come to forgive our sins. Yes He forgives them with conditions of course, but His true purpose in coming was to save us from sin and He did that by giving us the means to overcome sin. We are indeed saved by Grace and His gift, but that gift requires us to fully receive it and that includes being Born Again and following Him and obeying His commandments. Many claim to be Christians yet deny Christ by their works. Paul spoke to Titus about this issue. Titus 1:15-16 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their phony faith. He recalled a passage from Isaiah that I have quoted often in Mark 7:7-8. This defines the apostasy that is so rampant in the man-made church system of today. You tell a lie enough times, people start to believe it. I love this following verse from 1 John....1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Do you really love God? Then obey His commandments, otherwise you are worshipping with your lips yet your heart is far from God. You worship Christ in vain, denying His power to transform you and help you overcome temptation and you are following doctrines invented by men. False Teaching: James tells us that we should think twice before becoming a teacher because teachers will be held to a higher account by God. To those the Lord calls, He says He will equip. Many teachers have been called by God but deny Christ by holding on to sin and teaching precepts taught by men. They teach Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people in error saying their sin matters not, one cannot stop sinning anyway, so why worry about it, live your live and take pleasure in your sin. That is not the truth. Here is what Peter said about them and their denial. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. The truth is there is no temptation that we cannot overcome. God has provided a way out of each one if we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We can indeed do all things thru Christ who strengthens us. All things are possible with God. Jude also spoke about false teachers and the pattern was the same, they come in perverting the grace of God and a false accommodation of our continued sin. Jude 4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. While I believe we should find a church home and have regular fellowship with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, the vast majority of Christian Pastors and teachers are not Born Again as they live in continued practiced sin and worse teach their congregants a perverted gospel based almost

exclusively on twisted teachings of the Apostle Paul. Peter warned this would happen and this prophecy has been fulfilled my friends. 2 Peter 3:14-17 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15

and consider that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation — as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16

as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people — twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. Nobody is twisting Paul’s teachings to say we need to stop sinning and walk in the Spirit as that is what Paul taught. All the perversion is that our sin matters not, the same thing Jude said and Paul himself. Romans 2:12-13 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. Inaction and Partiality: Have you ever been in a conversation that was about evil or ungodly things yet stayed silent? What about getting involved in dirty and other inappropriate jokes? Walked past homeless people begging for money or attention but purposefully avoid eye contact? I have and did for most of my life. Many of these in-actions deny Christ especially where the Holy Spirit tells us to leave the scene, rebuke the evildoers or encourage the homeless people. God tells us to DO SOMETHING yet we

decide to DO our will instead. Rebellion is denying the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If we do not deny ourselves, we deny Christ. Our in-action tells the world that He is not our Lord and that we are Lord of our own lives and seek to do our will, not His. Following Jesus is a choice, one we must make every day. Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Jesus gave the Apostles and us by translation a new command. Love one Another. Just like our professed love for God, a real love for others will be demonstrated by action and deeds. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make our faith actionable, we deny our Sovreign Lord. Consider the admonishment James gave the early church. James 2:14-17 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,â&#x20AC;? but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. We have an increasing problem in this country with old folks being abandoned by their families. Additionally, the ranks of the homeless are rising fast and I have met many homeless people who have gotten no help from their families and have not spoken to them in years. Sure they bear some responsibility, but we are called to take care of our God-given families in the time of need. Look at the shocking words from Paul that should call these deniers of Christ to attention. 1 Tim 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. What happens to unbelievers on judgment day? I think you know. We deny our faith and our Lord by our inaction where God calls us to act. True Christians are the workers in His fields.

Lastly regarding inaction as a denial of Christ, remember the message Jesus will give the goats on judgment day. Matthew 25:42-46 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43

I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. Because of their inaction and disobedience to His Commandments and rebellion against His Spirit; He goes on to say to them, depart from Me into the eternal fire. Conclusion Few Christians think they deny Christ or have forsaken God. But I believe the above study should expand ones horizon on what denying Christ really means. Continued rebellion, rejection and disobedience of His Commandments Denies Christ and His power to save us from our sins. One cannot be living in the world, lusting after things of the flesh and practicing sin and be in the presence of God. If you are doing that, you have forsaken God and because of that, He has forsaken you. Repent and turn back to God so you can be saved. Sin separates us from God. The Bible is very clear about that. Christ became sin for us on the Cross. Right before He died he cried out to the Father. Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Are you in the presence of God right now? If not, why not? Have you forsaken God and denied the power of Christ to change you?

God is good and He will forgive us. Hear what Jesus told Simon Peter right before the Lord predicted Peter’s denial. Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” Returning to God is repentance. Jesus was going to use Peter in a big way after Peter’s denial and subsequent repentance. We all have sinned, we all have denied Christ at some point. But be encouraged in that if we return to God and walking in true faith, God will use us to strengthen our brothers and sisters in Christ.

May God Bless You Richly, In Jesus Christ' Name.!

FORUM FOR THE ERADICATION OF INTERNET CRIMES: ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! : BY BISHOP STEVEN LIBERTY SR. Intelligence Note COPY FROM : http://www.ic3.gov/media/2011/110311.aspx Prepared by the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) March 11, 2011 Tips On Avoiding Fraudulent Charitable Contribution Schemes Recently several natural disasters, including tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes,have devastated lives and property. In the wake of these events that have caused emotional distress and great monetary loss to numerous victims, individuals across the nation often feel a desire to help these victims, frequently through monetary donations. These disasters prompt individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributionspurportedly for a charitable organization or a good cause. Therefore, before making a donation of any kind, consumers should adhere to certain guidelines, to include the following: * Do not respond to unsolicited (SPAM) e-mail. * Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations. * Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail. * Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.

* To ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes, make contributions directly to known organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf. * Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the recognized charity or aid organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site. * Attempt to verify the legitimacy of the non-profit status of the organization by using various Internet-based resources, which also may assist in confirming the actual existence of the organization. * Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: providing such information may compromise your identity and make you vulnerable to identity theft.

FORGIVENESS BY PROPHETESS MOTHER JOYCE BENNETT (MEMORIAL TO A VOICE THAT REMAINS WITH US FOREVER )

Forgive and forgetâ&#x20AC;? is how the old saying goes. But is it that simple? A boy who was dumped by his girlfriend says, "She really hurt my feelings. How can I ever forgive her for what she did to me?" A girl whose father sexually abused her for years asks, "Why should I forgive him for that?" The drug dealer who wants to turn his life around wonders, "Will God really forgive me for all I have done?" How do we forgive others who have wronged us?

How do we accept God's forgiveness? God hates sin; He cannot stand to look at its ugliness. Therefore, un-confessed sin in our lives comes between us and damages our relationship with the Lord. "Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, or his ear too dull to hear, but your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that He will not hear." (Isaiah 59:1-2) Not only does un-forgiveness come between us and God, it also breaks our relationships with others. "He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends." (Proverbs 17:9) The Requirements for Forgiveness..! Because God hates sin, the price for forgiveness is high. Scripture gives the following requirements for forgiveness: Sacrifice. Hebrews 9:22 says that "without the shedding of Blood, there is no forgiveness." In the Old Testament, a sacrifice of an unblemished lamb was required to satisfy God's wrath. Jesus, the sinless Son of God, died on the cross and became the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Jesus bought our forgiveness when he died on the cross. "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." (1 Peter 3:18a) "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace." (Ephesians 1:7)

Forgiveness of others. Another requirement for forgiveness of sins in that we forgive others. 1 Corinthians 13:5 says that "real love keeps no record of wrongs." Remember that Proverbs 17:9 tells us that a real friend will forgive. God has also made forgiving others a requirement for receiving His forgiveness. "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14,15) "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32) Confession of sin. We must admit our sins to God if our relationship with Him is to be restored completely. Looking back at the real need for forgiveness, we see that unconfessed sin can separate us in our relationship with God. Confession is the way to restore that relationship with the Lord, remembering that it is for our own benefit that we confess to return to the Lord because He is faithful even when we are not. (2 Timothy 2:13). "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) Repentance. We must decide to change, to turn from our sins. "Therefore this is what the Lord says, 'If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me.'" (Jeremiah 15:19) The Results of Forgiveness...! The Bible promises the following benefits of God's forgiveness: Happiness. When we know God's forgiveness, we are blessed (happy).

"Blessed (happy) is he whose transgressions are forgiven, who sins are covered. Blessed (happy) is the man whose sin the Lord doesn't count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit." (Psalm 32:1,2) God chooses not to hold our sins against us. Another result of forgiveness is that God doesn't keep a record of our sins, He does not hold them against us. Because the blood of Christ covered our sins, God chooses to put them out of His mind. "I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more." (Isaiah 43:25) God removes our sin from us. "It is possible for the Lord to look at us without seeing our sins because when he forgave us, he removed our sins "as far as the east is from the west" (Psalm 103:12) We can forgive ourselves. When we are forgiven, we can forgive ourselves and go on with our lives." Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heaven-ward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13,14)

The Jews killed Jesus and Jesus fulfilled the Law....must be un-learned BY JEFF MORTON

Just the other day a fellow Christian said to me, "The Jews are suffering because they were INSTRUMENTAL in the death of Jesus." [Gentiles killed him] The individual went on to say that the Old Testament is largely obsolete because Jesus fulfilled the law. As I begun to share what I share to CHRISTIANS I was met with a certain disbelief that I would even consider defending the Jews and or Israel. These type encounters are the most sad to me. I had another Christian lady refuse to speak with me when I mentioned the Jewishness of Jesus. She said rather assertively, "I don't have to talk with you anymore!" I am reminded of Isaiah 62 (In the English) 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. 2 The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. 3 You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate.

But you will be called Hephzibah,[a] and your land Beulah[b]; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married. 5 As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you. 6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, 7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. 8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: "Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled; 9 but those who harvest it will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather the grapes will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.â&#x20AC;? 10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations. 11 The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth:

"Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.’” 12 They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted. I have asked this question of Christians now for four years: Why is the Lord called the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah?" to date not one Christian believer has answered the question correctly Revelation 5.5 And one of the elders said to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Genesis 49:9 You are a lion's cub, O Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse him? Rabbi Shaul aka Apostle Paul writes [quoting Isaiah] Romans 15:12 And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope. Paul took TORAH to the Gentiles not Christianity Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots Isaiah 11:10

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Many Christians the world over do not understand who Judah is, why Judah is or why God called Judah's lineage, the "Law Givers". Psalms 60:7 & Psalms 108:8 Genesis 49:10 says: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and to him shall the gathering of the people be." I often have people ask, why do you hate Christians so much or why do you put down Christians in your writing? One of the things that is consistent in speaking with Christians is that rather than discuss the issues I address most are offended because I ask questions that many cannot answer. All the while I am thinking, is it not the goal to know the Lord? In a recent article I wrote "Christians know Christianity, not God's word" I stand by this statement because it is the absolute truth! God's word starts from Genesis and ends in Revelation. So, why is Jesus called the Lion of the tribe of Judah? In truth.....my ministry is to Christians . So many don't know critical information being revealed. Many know the translations and a very Greek biblical understanding of a very Hebrew people For example: Why was Esther praying & fasting for three days Esther 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast you for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. Why was Jonah in the belly of the whale for three days?

Jonah 1:17 But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights. Why were Isaac and Abraham three days journeying Genesis 22 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. Jesus rose on the third day: How is all of this related to the plants coming forth on the third day of creation. Why did the ram appear stuck, its head stuck in a thorny bush? Why did Jonah's head get entangled while in the belly of the fish? Jonah 2:5 "The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head" Why did the crown of thorns placed on Jesus' head mimic these two previous events? Why was this galaxy found during passover 2009 by the Hubble Telescope?

What is the God of creation communicating to us in his word? Why do we not have a Hebraic understanding or original understanding of the story or see the many, many, many repetitions of the story? Written by Hebrews, lived by the Jews, inspired by God for them to record and present his Commandments, Statutes and Laws! The Biblical story presented to Ruth via marriage and all Gentiles to be grafted into [as well by] the marriage of the Lamb to his people. Rabbi' Shaul's entire ministry was to offer to the Gentile an invitation to this wedding. He quoted the Scriptures every other

sentence...The last 3rd of the bible was not written when he did so! The answer is knowing why He was Jewish in the flesh, why HE created the Hebrews and what He poured into the Jews so that we would know HIM too. If you do not know the answers to these questions...You will get offended when someone like me comes along and asks, "Why don't you know God's word as a Christian?" Why do you only know the last 3rd of the entire revelation?" If you challenge what you know in these last [before his eternal reign is announced] days watch what happens. The Holy Scriptures will be illuminated as if a light switch was turned on after 2000 years of seeing "Darkly" In all fairness, God is revealing something amazing for such a time as this....It is beyond my ability to capture in words but,I can offer: Here is what you HAVE to do in order to see it. You must Support the Jews, Stand with Israel and know why HE was Jewish. The only way to do this is to return to what the TORAH is and not what you have been taught.

Isaiah 49:6 he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

Jeremiah 31:31-40 31

"Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, [a] says the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” 35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name): 36 " If those ordinances depart From before Me, says the LORD, Then the seed of Israel shall also cease From being a nation before Me forever.” 37

Thus says the LORD: " If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD.

"Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that the city shall be built for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The surveyorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.â&#x20AC;? Israel was reborn and Jacob's descendants are being regathered. The seed of Abraham is being revealed and the Jews are being restored..... You would do well to know who and why the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is soon to return to the land promised....Israel! Some Jewish religious leaders conspired against Jesus (courtesy of Rome) and Gentile's killed him. Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts : In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. If you wonder, why do I need to know this? The answer is very simple...When did you realize that you knew enough about our unlimited Creator? The best part about doing any of this is when fellow Christian's eyes are opened and they see this...I have watched many simply cry when their eyes are opened to who The Lion of the Tribe of Judah really is. Both men and woman are completely humbled when they see who the Jews are and what the church really is.................................................. The idea is to add to what we know not prove it wrong! Jeff Morton
