Churches! What are you doing Wrong???

I visit a new Christian church each Sunday to listen to what is being preached that day and listen to the praise music and meet and greet members. I am always asked if I am looking for a church home, which is quite expected and I always reply no I am awaiting a message about a church home. Seeing that I am a rather a new Christian but I have studied the Bible for 40 plus years I had not really contended with all the denominations currently active in my town. I knew there were differences about Sabbath Worship dates, water baptism, tongues, hands on healing etc. but I never suspected that some, modernized churches, were teaching from Politically Correct interpretation Bibles, or as I call them PCB's. I looked online at the differences and the opinions of professional bible reviewers, who knew, and I was actually quite shocked to hear them complaining about the language and especially about the treatment of homosexuals in classic bibles.

Some Christian churches in America are changing and continuing to change into shadows, an opaque vapor, a gray mist where nothing is discernable and I find it is due to these very liberal interpretations of our Bible, The Word of God. Some churches now spend 3/4's of their time singing praises and worshipping, which is good and correct when the Spirit is leading but so many times the praise service ends and there is perhaps 15 minutes of Bible Teaching and then sometimes with never a word from the Scriptures ever quoted. It is becoming quite distressing to find a group of brothers and sisters basically floundering in high surf and there is no one there to help guide back to a rocky shore. Some preachers seem to be on a time schedule and opt for the tricky quips and wide grins to end the the service. Sure they are listening to parishioners but listening to what I wonder.

There is a great cry from the hearts of these brothers and sisters caught in the downward spiraling churches for help lifting themselves up and away from nowhere sermons. Some know it and actively search out new homes while others seem lost and stuck no even realizing their predicament. My heart is sore for these people. I want to get up and say something but I am currently being led to keep quite, be nice and visit another church next week.

Something is coming to a boil in this nation and God is about to let loose the other Spirits before the Lord's Throne and great revival will begin to take shape and grow like a Kansas twister. There will be revival and many great days of praise and worship whipping through this land but like a natural twister it has a time to run its course and then slowly fades away. Watch for the young people for they are called to start this revival and this turning back to God and finding His Truth they will save many more for this is the generation of return and the generation of "The Latter Rain".

Wake up to the Message, listen to the small quite voice, re-read your Bible and you will be amazed at what God is revealing today. We need fire and brimstone preachers and evangelists and pastors who know the Word of God and do not compromise. We need teachers, preachers, pastors or priests who bless that which God has condemned and we need fire from the pulpit not complacent smiles and wry grins and winks.

There is but one message, God Loves Us and has saved us from ourselves if only we can see it and hear it.

"Let him with ears hear."

"Do you know the name of GOD?

I recently read Rabbi Johnathan Cahn's new book "The Book of Mysteries", an excellent book and a wonderful daily guide to the mysteries of GOD and his infinite love for His creation, us. I highly recommend this fine work for it is spirit filled and an additional gift from GOD to all believers. You will be blessed and your heart will be renewed and spirit filled. I have taken the liberty of expounding and connecting a few of the profound ideas Rabbi Cahn has touched upon here in his fine book and may great thanks and blessing find the Rabbi and his family and may blessings be upon the Holy Spirit for conveying these jewels to one whom can so easily transfer these deep things of GOD into simple terms for those of us who understand simple things.

"Do you know the name of GOD?

I have wondered about this subject since I was a boy when I heard "call upon the name of the Lord", my first question was always OK, and what name is that? Assuming, as I did that Howard was not his true name as my cousins tried repeatedly to tell me that we know His name because of the "Our Father" prayer, "Our Father who art in Heaven Horward be thy name,..."

Perhaps a little levity but it is amazing how confused young catholic boys can become when faced with such nonsense and unfortunately that confusion carry's on into adulthood as I can attest. I asked for the true name of God so that I may include His name in my prayers because the Bible says "If you call upon my name". GOD stated to Moses in Genesis 3:4 "
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

" I AM THAT I AM " in the English vernacular would be hayah. HaYah is a verb but verb of action.

God has included himself in your speech everyday whether you realize this or not, for you say, as an introduction, " I am Paul " I am using God's name prior to my name so God comes first in my life, again, whether you know it or not. YHVH means I AM. His name is woven into the fabric of your life and very existence, you cannot speak of yourselves in a proper way without saying His Name first. I t is rather like a trademark that identify you as a product made by Him. You only exist because of his I AM.

The secret to life is to understand that you live your life for and by HIM, allow yourself to see your actions coming from Him, that the emotions you feel in your heart flow from Him, the words you speak are originally from him. Keep all this in mind before you add to or take away from the things you say and do for a truth heart understand that your being is from God and therefore let God be Preeminent in your life.

God Chose His Sabbath at Creation For a Reason and a Purpose; Do you understand the simple things?

I wanted to comment on the "Mandela Effect" once again and simply state that all is well.  Yes, I have found changes here and there and some of them are terrible but for the Christian who know the Scriptures well none of this should not be a problem because the Word is written in your heart. I have been confronted by those who do not know the Bible well and will tell you that you must stand your ground for that ground is solid rock and those making hay of these found differences are only doing it to lift themselves with false knowledge and bring down the Word of God is their aim, whether they understand their motivations or not. Believe in the Truth and that Truth will support your spirit and soul and your communication with the Holy Spirit will remain intact and your prayer for guidance will always be answered. Fear not for nothing in this world can harm you only you can allow harm to penetrate your wall of protection so keep you eyes on God and keep reading His Word and the Truth shall penetrate your heart and strengthen your resolve.

I have had a continually nudging, I call it, from the Holy Spirit about the Seventh Day Sabbath and just how very important it is to our God ( I am GOD El Shaddai). I am continually nudged to bring it up when I visit churches in the area, although most of the time it is not really appreciated, rather like pointing out a bugger hanging from ones nose. I find most Christians don't like to even confront the idea and always fall back on the Apostle Paul for a quick and simple explanation but digging deeper I find they have no knowledge of why they meet on Sunday the first day of the week. Many weak and ineffectual answers abound but all fall apart with an investigation of the Bible.

The biggest thing that was pointed out to me was that God set aside and sanctified the seventh day at creation;

Genesis 2:3 

"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

The blessing and sanctification of the seventh day takes place at the beginning of creation. There were no Israelites, Jews, Muslims Christians, Hindus, Buddhists etc.. This was the very first thing God did that man needed to pay attention to. Why else would God create all things, including man, and the emphatically state that this seventh day has been set aside (for whom) and that this day is sanctified (for whose knowledge was it sanctified) surely God knew the day was special but He wanted all His creation to know that this day was special, was set aside as a Holy Convocation a Sanctified Day a day to pay close attention too.  I am sure Adam and Eve were well aware of the day of rest form their husbandry in the garden, was it a day that the Lord God visited them and walked among the garden paths with them, spending the day in their company and they spending their day of rest in His company?


The Seventh Day Sabbath the Day Of Rest has not changed from the creation, yet man has changed times and dates from the beginning to detriment and confusion of the world. Christians, if they will, should go back and re-read the Word of God anew and they will find there is so much they have over looked and or misconstrued over the years that makes so many things in their belief null and void. Go back and read and search the scriptures so that you too are among those that God has said in,

Hosea 4:6

 ^"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children"

Are the Ten Commandments the Law of God?

Exodus 20:8–10

8: "Remember and observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.

9: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10: but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant, your animal or your stranger within your gates.”

 

Did Jesus say it is good to keep 9 out of the 10 commandments? or did He say keep all the commandments of God?

 

Revelation 14:12

 

"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

 

As said earlier this subject has been deep in my heart and I prayed about it much but God has said to speak of it when you can but do not disturb the churches for if they do not understand by now they have hardened their hearts to the Truth in many ways. Little oversights can become big oversights but let not your heart trouble you too much for His Mercy and Grace is sufficient for you and your sins.  

 

It Is Time To Pray in Earnst and Seek The Face of GOD

A dark and heavy spiritual pressure is seemingly building week by week and I sometimes succumb to the continual onslaught and find my myself crying out to my Lord and Savoir "please come soon." When this happens I stop the building process and find a chair, box, step-ladder anything with a flat spot and sit myself down and begin to pray.

The last time this happened was last week and it was so overwhelming that I began to shake and the tears rolled down my cheeks and soaked my shirt. Why did this happen? I was having a great day doing remodelling work to my house, the tile is getting done faster the wall preparations for paint (lots of wallpaper in this house), new cabinet doors, sheet rock going up smoothly and mudded everything was going just fine when I was hit by this overwhelming pressure of sadness as it enveloped me and physically pushed me to the ground.

As prayed asking the Lord to hear my pray I recieved nothing, no little voice, no infilling of gladness and happiness, no great lifting of my heart but rather a deeper and deeper sadness. Why? I asked why is this happening to me is it the dark forces around me tryng to bring me low and make me miserable? Part of the problem was as I precieved and then I hear and see in my minds eye the wordly secular condition of my country and our people and the world and her people all seemingly caught up in the world's day to day living around them and never looking to GOD. It was like holding a rope only to finally notice the rope getting smaller. Of coarse not everyone is in this sad state of affairs, there are many brothers and sisters in the WORD that are living a wonderful and loving exisistence where GOD comes first and they live day to day and seek only that which is pleasing to the LORD but they know what is pleasing to GOD because they study HIS WORD and seek his face and counsel every moment of everyday.

I see so many more people , young and old, who do not seek GOD through HIS WORD and through prayer and this has caused a dimming of the spiritual skies above me and around me, not a visible thing most days but some days the oppression is as thick as a fog and heavy like a wet blanket on my spirit and soul. When this occurs I am compelled to fall to my knees and prayer overtakes me and I ask why?, well, the answer I hear most often is "because they need it".

Then I always ask, "When are you are retuning to this world? When will the people see you are who you say you are? When will this darkness be vanquished and blinders removed and ears opened?" and the answer I hear is "SOON"

Each passing day this world produces another shock or surprize that will shake your faith but do not allow yourselves to fall in a downward spiral of deception for those are tools of the devil. GOD is here and JESUS is standing at the gates of Heavens awaiting that day soon when HE and and HIS angels will gather together HIS people and remove us from harms way, just as HE did for Noah and Lot. Be faithful and hear HIS WORD and see HIS works, for you are surround by HIS glory and never truly see it all, take time to be with HIM and HE will strengthen your soul and spirit.

What is happening in the world is just water beginning to boil and it is moving about the things upon the surface, a louder warning is coming and soon the world will begin to wonder. We who are under HIS cloak have nothing to fear for fear cannot exist where there is HIS light and that light is showing us a great door soon to be opened and the path beyond leads us back to Garden where a great feast will be held.

May GOD Bless you all and fill your hearts with awe and wonder and always consider how HE has blessed each and everyone of you for you are a miracle to behold.

New Understanding of "The Great Falling Aaway"

I have been back and forth on the "Rapture", which would be better called "The Gathering" for many years. My studies have taken me from my childhood understanding of God's refinery where raw gold is processed through a series of furnaces to melt and seperate the slag, or that which is not gold is brought to the surface of the molten gold and scraped off and thrown away. After many refining furnaces the gold is pure through and through and suitable for use as an instrument to be used in God's house, because has no sin in Him and wil not allow sin to enter His home. Exactly where this original idea sprouted I do not recall but I have had that vision in my mind since I was about 10 years old. When I became older and studied the Word of God more deeply and began to meet other Christians I began to see the correlations between this refining process and the "Born Again" understanding of renewing ones spirit through the help and guidance of the Spirit of God. For once one seeks the Truth a starting point must be found and that starting point will by God's Grace be pointedly disturbing when His Spirit displays the real existing you as God sees you. When I saw the real flawed and filthy condition God saw me in I began to grow expotentially because the truth of my life was before me and the desire God has for me were very different. To get to this position I had to breakdown and seek God because I finally saw I knew nothing though my intellect and intelligence and my ability to search out the truth lead me into a darker and darker circle of lies and deception about all things. I have seen many reach this place but have not turned to God and therefore they maintain their position in an ever spirilling downward while considering their intelligence and intellect being superior because of the knowledge of this world they have gained. They do not see that there are no conclusive answers they can find only more questions. Like being caught up in a slow turning, yet powerful, vortex of water descending drain they never reach out for the life vests tied to the rock around them simply because they don't believe they can be real because they are spiritual and therefore just crazy cerebral imaginings. Sad to see someone bypass a lifeline thinking they make it to shore under their own power.

Back to the "The Gathering" of the Saints and Souls who trust in the Lord Yahshua (Jesus). I have been pondering this gathering for years and the day before yesterday I had an epipheny when I had a serious crying and shaking breakdown asking the Lord what will become of me for I am surrounded by so many problems and it was becoming overwhelming. Well, I didn't get a big boost of an answer but rather a boost of strength and committment to see it through no matter what but hours later after having addressed many of the issues before and seeing them getting smaller and smaller I was lead to sit and contemplate the Word. That Word basically said to go online and I will show you a message to calm your mind and give you confidence in my "Gathering" together my people. The message was simple and something I do quite regularly and that is to sit down with my Bibles, Concordances, Interlinears, Dictionaries search out a word.

Apostasia was the word I was given and the search was on. "The Great Falling Away" as it has become known to the modern hearer.


1611 King James Bible
2 Thessolonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition"


1599 Geneva Bible
1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our assembling unto him,

2 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that the man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition,".

History comes into play here when we consider King James and his interpretation. Remember that King James and England, Scotland had been going through a very tramatic period of history when we remember Henry VIII andhis desention from the Catholic church and burning at the stake and beheadings the people of England suffered during this change. After his death the protestant Queen Elizabeth I took the throne, after some confusion, of England and her Catholic cousin Queen Mary of Scotland took the throne of Scotland and tried to force catholisism on the protestants of Scotland. This did not please Elizabeth I of England and she actively tried to undermine all Mary's efforts eventually driving Mary south for protection from her protestant subjects to her fellow Queen and cousin only to find herself imprisoned and eventually beheaded. When Elizabeth died King James VI of Scotland became James the 1st of England and took the throne of England and began the compiling of the King James Bible. As a Protestant King James wanted suppress all opposition from any and all religious leaders in the country and establish himslek as did Henry VIII as the Head of the Church of England a protestant church and protestant England. I believe the King took some liberties, as is documented in history, with some of the wording being employed in the new English Bible and one of those interpretations was the the reframing of the word Apostasia into stright up Apostacy. This has become accepted throughout the years and has influenced many other Bible versions. Today it is quite common and thought that "The Great Falling Away" from the faith is what this Greek word means and meant. Not so Fast.

Greek is an inflected language, look it up, and therefore can see sematic shifts easily. As an example awful used to mean filled with awe now it means dreadful. Over time words can shift meaning depending on the times. Well, Apostacy is a word taken directly from Greek but there are many, many words in Greek that can use the same term but convey a similar but different meaning. "Apo" in Greek means; from, moving away from something near and "stasia" means spot, space or position. Depending on the context in which the word is used it can mean moving away from a formerly held position or moving from a physical place or spot.

Look this up yourself and understand that the same word is used

Timothy 2:19 "having put away" Apotheomia

Luke 4:13 "he departed from him" Aphistema

Acts 12:10 "the angel departed from him" Aphistema

2 Cor 12:8 "that it might depart from me" Aphistema

Acts 22:29 "then straightway they departed from him" Aphistema

These are just a few examples of the word Apostasia in different form meaning physically depart. The King James Bible is a great Bible but some liberties were taken here and there to influence the people that a falling away of the faith of The Church of England was biblical and therefore should not be considered (consider the times). In actuality Apostasia, the word used in that text of 2 Thessolonians 2:3 but it is also the same word used in the interpreted text of the Geneva Bible of 1599 and was there strictly used as the Greek definition states, "except there come a departing first". I believe the Geneva Bible correctly interpreted the intended meaning of the Greek word and this is Christian world changing.

Now consider the whole text Paul is conveying;

2Th 2:1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (departure from this place) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Taken in this context it can be seen that that this verse stand to support the verse where

2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

I believe this is speaking of the Holy Spirit that enfills men and women of God and that when the Holy Spirit of God is taken out of the way then the man of sin is revealed. In other words the departure from this place must first occur in order for the Beast to be fully revealed. I think Paul was telling us that a "Rapture" or "Gathering together" will be accomplished first leaving the world without the Holy Spirit of God about them, the one that restains the evil.

James 1:16

"Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren."

Take it as you may but I found great serenity and comfort knowing the we are NOT appointed to wrath, either by the Lamb, by GOD, or by the devil.

I know this not a completed study by any means but I was compelled to write it and put it before the people who are still questioning.
