Parents losing custody for homeschooling kids

A German couple already being threatened with jail time because they have been homeschooling their children say their nation has taken a turn for the worse, with a new federal law that gives family courts the authority to take custody of children “as soon as there is a suspicion of child abuse,” which is how that nation’s courts have defined homeschooling.

“The new law is seen as a logical step in carving up family rights after a federal court had decided that homeschooling was an abuse of custody,” said a letter from Jurgen Dudek to officials with the U.S.-based Home School Legal Defense Association, an international advocacy organization in support of homeschooling.

It was about a year ago when WND reported a prosecutor in the German state of Hesse was seeking three-month prison terms for the Jurgen Dudek and his wife, Rosemarie, the parents of six children, even after they already had paid a series of fines.

Officials with Netzwork-Bildungsfreiheit, a German homeschool advocacy group, said the prosecutor, unsatisfied with the fines, wanted 90-day terms in custody for the parents.

The latest letter from the family described the new law as granting various local social services agencies vast new powers, especially the “Jugendamt” offices, which are responsible for looking into situations if there are allegations of “child abuse.”

“They have in effect been authorized to give expert evidence in court which the family judge has to follow … The withdrawal of parental custody as one of the methods for punishing ‘uncooperative’ parents thus is made even easier,” the letter said.

In recent years Germany has established a reputation for cracking down on parents who object, for reasons ranging from religious to social, to that nation’s public school indoctrination of their children.

WND has reported several times on custody battles, children being taken into custody, and families even fleeing Germany because of the situation.

Now comes the new law that, according to Dudek’s letter, has, “understandably, led to a kind of panic among the homeschool community in a country where ever since Hitler’s times it has been against the law to educate your offspring completely without the state.”

Mike Donnelly, a lawyer for the HSLDA who has worked on situations that have developed in Germany, said it’s not exactly clear how the law will affect the situation.

However, “the fact that Germany’s Federal Government would pass a law taking away due process when it comes to taking children away from their parents just because they are not attending school points to the sheer hostility of the German government towards homeschooling,” he told WND.

“The German Jugendamt system is under increasing scrutiny by the European Union as well as other international organizations because of the sheer numbers of custody cases in proportion to actual substantiated abuse and in relation to the overall population,” he said. “For homeschoolers, the Jugendamt represents the tip of the spear in the government’s persecution of parents who simply wish to educate their children privately at home – a freedom protected by governments of virtually all free societies.”

He said as a result of the combination of last year’s German court ruling that it is an abuse of parental rights to keep children away from public schools and the new plan, “the Jugendamt is now the most powerful and frightening force in repressing homeschooling in Germany.

“Families in Germany are being put under increasing pressure to stop homeschooling or face losing custody of their children just because they homeschool – instead many families flee the country. This reprehensible behavior violates the natural rights of parents and children and must be opposed by all free societies,” he said.

Practical Homeschool Magazine has noted one of the first acts by Hitler when he moved into power was to create the governmental Ministry of Education and give it control of all schools, and school-related issues.

In 1937, the dictator said, “The Youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”

Dudek told the HSLDA that, “Without wanting to overdramatize things this move by the justice ministry … can be compared to Hitler’s law of empowerment … That law gave him a free hand to turn Germany into the dictatorship it has become so ‘famous’ for.”

“Homeschoolers will be among the first to feel the wrath of our quasi-GESTAPO for the young: there is an explicit paragraph in the law dealing with the Jugendamt’s duty to enforce ’schulpflicht,’ the ‘punishment’ for [homeschooling] automatically being the withdrawal of parental custody,” he wrote.

He said although some officials had not yet signed the law, it appeared unstoppable.

In his own family’s case, he must appear in court on June 18.

One of the higher-profile cases on which WND has reported was that of a teen who was taken by police to the psychiatric ward because she was homeschooled.

The courts ruled it was appropriate for a judge to order police officers to take Melissa Busekros, 15 at the time, into custody during January 2007.

Officials later declined to re-arrest after she simply fled state custody and returned to her family.

Wolfgang Drautz, consul general for the Federal Republic of Germany, has commented on the issue on a blog, noting the government “has a legitimate interest in countering the rise of parallel societies that are based on religion….”

Drautz said schools teach socialization, and as WND reported, that is important, as evident in the government’s response when a German family wrote objecting to police officers picking their child up at home and delivering him to a public school.

“The minister of education does not share your attitudes toward so-called homeschooling,” said a government letter. “… You complain about the forced school escort of primary school children by the responsible local police officers. … In order to avoid this in future, the education authority is in conversation with the affected family in order to look for possibilities to bring the religious convictions of the family into line with the unalterable school attendance requirement.”

Gasoline could hit $7 a gallon in four years

Crude supplies are actually lower than some official estimates indicate, while demand is unlikely to fall anytime soon, according to a statement by analysts led by Jeff Rubin at CIBC, an investment bank. They forecast that these tighter supplies and continued strong demand will drive oil and gasoline prices to roughly double their current levels by 2012.

“It is increasingly clear that the outlook for oil supply signals a period of unprecedented scarcity,” said Rubin. “Despite the recent record jump in oil prices, oil prices will continue to rise steadily over the next five years.”

The front-month crude contract slid Thursday to $116 a barrel, after hitting a historic high of $119.90 a barrel Tuesday. Retail gas prices averaged $3.56 a gallon Thursday, according to AAA, a new record high. See Futures Movers.

Some analysts, however, said crude prices could turn lower. Standard & Poor’s predicted Thursday that crude prices could tumble to about $90 a barrel by the end of this year with the U.S. economy struggling in recession, though the range of that forecast is plus or minus $50. See full story.

Overstated estimates

CIBC based its prediction on an analysis of crude-production estimates by the International Energy Agency, which the investment bank says has overstated supplies because the agency counts natural-gas liquids as part of the output. Stripping out natural-gas liquids, the global oil market is much tighter, and oil production will hardly grow, they added.

“While natural-gas liquids only account for 10% of total supply, they account for virtually all of the increase in petroleum-liquids production since 2005,” said Rubin in a news release.

“Stripping out natural-gas liquids, oil production has not grown for over two years, which certainly goes a long way to explaining why oil prices have doubled over that period,” he added.

The portion of natural-gas liquids in total oil production is increasing, from about 4% in the 1970s to an estimated 10% by 2012, CIBC said. Natural-gas liquids are not a viable substitute for oil and cannot be economically used as a basis for gasoline, diesel or jet fuel.

Latest data from the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of U.S. Energy Department, indicated domestic drilling of natural gas liquids was increasing, while domestic oil production was falling.

Natural gas liquids production averaged 2.4 million barrels a day so far this year, gaining 4% from the same period of the last year, while crude output fell 1.9% from a year ago to 5.1 million barrels.

More natural gas comes with oil

Beyond methane which is what the home consumers burn, natural gas at the well contains a range of readily liquefiable gases, which agencies like the IEA have traditionally included in total oil supply.

IEA, a Paris-based energy adviser to 27 developed countries, said in its April monthly report that global oil production stood at 87.3 million barrels a day in March.

While natural gas can occur on its own, much of the world’s natural gas is found together with oil.

James Williams, an economist at WTRG Economics, an energy research firm, agreed that natural gas liquids found together with crude oil have been increasing, while “there isn’t much growth in oil,” he said. “The lack of oil growth has been due to the lack of investment.”

Accelerating depletion of existing oil fields and a lack of investment in new fields have resulted in a rising ratio of natural gas to oil in drilling in mature oil fields.

Some oil producers have been promising to invest more to increase production capacity. Abdalla Salem el-Badri, secretary general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, said early this week the cartel is planning to spend $160 billion over the next four years to boost oil production capacity by 5 million barrels a day. See full story.

Demand in non-OECD countries to exceed OECD

While supplies are seen tight, there is little evidence to suggest that there will be any reduction in oil demand, CIBC predicted, as demand growth outside the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development offsets slowing demand in OECD countries.

Countries such as Brazil, China and Russia have seen surging sales of automobiles, while car sales in the United States and Europe have been declining or flat. Gasoline, diesel and other transportation fuels account for about half of the world’s oil consumption.

CIBC predicted that by 2012, oil consumption in the rest of the world will exceed OECD. OECD countries currently consume about 50 million barrels a day of crude, 13 million barrels a day more than non-OECD countries.

Demand from major oil producers and exporters is also seen rising. Over the last three years, oil consumption in OPEC members has grown an average of over 5% a year. Combined demand from OPEC members, together with Russia and Mexico, already stood at about 13 million barrels a day, the world’s second largest after the U.S.

“With production faltering, soaring rates of domestic fuel consumption will soon cannibalize export capacity,” adding more pressure to the world energy market, said Rubin in the report.

Fuel consumption in some oil producing countries was partly boosted by extremely low prices. Retail gasoline was only about 25 cents a gallon in Venezuela and 60 cents a gallon in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iran. End of Story

VeriChip Corporation to Launch Direct-to-Consumer Campaign

THIS IS THE CHIP THAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION WARNS US ABOUT!

DELRAY BEACH, FL – April 22, 2008 – VeriChip Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CHIP), a provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, will launch its first-ever direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing campaign in South Florida on April 28. As part of this campaign, the Company has renamed its patient identification system Health Link and created a new website at www.healthlinkinfo.com that will go live at the campaign launch. The site will provide complete information about the product and how to enroll as a Health Link member. VeriChip has also entered into a relationship with HearUSA, Inc. (AMEX: EAR), a leading provider of hearing care, which has eight HEARx locations throughout the Palm Beach market where patients can enroll in Health Link.
Health Link is the connection between you and your personal health record. It provides emergency room doctors and nurses with immediate access to your vital medical and emergency contact information, which will help them to treat you rapidly, accurately and safely during an emergency. Health Link utilizes a tiny microchip (similar in size to a grain of rice) and a secure, private, online database that links you to your personal health record. Your Health Link is always with you and cannot be lost or stolen.
The Health Link microchip stores only a unique 16-digit identification number and is injected just under the skin in the rear upper portion of the right arm. When a Health Link member presents in an emergency department unconscious, unresponsive or confused, emergency medical personnel use the Health Link scanner to retrieve the member’s identification number to access his or her personal health record.
Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of VeriChip, said, “Given our successful infrastructure build-out in South Florida, we are now ready to escalate our marketing efforts to increase consumer awareness and adoption through the first DTC launch of our product. We chose to partner with HearUSA because of their impeccable reputation as a quality provider of hearing health care. This partnership also allows us to offer consumers a convenient location in a professional setting where they can be educated on Health Link and enroll as a member.”
To lead its DTC launch, VeriChip has hired Samuel Ambrose as vice president of business development. Ambrose brings more than 16 years of sales and marketing experience to VeriChip, including senior sales and marketing positions with Office Depot, Boston Market and the Florida Panthers. He has a proven track record of bringing products to market successfully and his experience includes development of local, regional and national level marketing and advertising plans designed to build incremental sales.
Silverman said, “We are fortunate to have a well-respected and highly capable marketing executive like Samuel Ambrose to lead this important effort of growing our Health Link business and producing consistent revenue from subscribers.”
About HearUSA

Will Muhammad image ignite holy war?

(World Net Daily Article)

WASHINGTON – World Net Daily is already being denounced as a hate site by radical Muslims in anticipation of its release next Tuesday of “Why We Left Islam,” the first U.S. book ever to feature an image of Muhammad on the cover.

“This book is put out by World Net Daily Publishing (sic), which promotes hate every day on its extremist anti-Muslim hate site,” Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the New York Daily News. “The editor is a guy who suggested air-dropping pig’s blood over Afghanistan. There are 7 million American Muslims and over a billion worldwide who love Islam and practice it peaceably on a daily basis.”

Joseph Farah, an Arab-American and the only person ever to serve as editor of World Net Daily, said, in response, he has never advocated air-dropping pig’s blood over Afghanistan.

“CAIR can always be counted upon to make wildly untruthful and reckless claims about others, while maintaining a hypersensitivity about its own concerns,” said Farah. “Here, for example, Hooper makes this claim that World Net Daily promotes anti-Muslim hate on its site every day, offering only one example – and that one is totally untrue. Why other responsible media outlets continue to offer CAIR a platform for making such outrageous statements is beyond me. How many CAIR staffers and officials need to be indicted and convicted before my colleagues recognize these people as the extremists they are?”

But it’s not just the cover of the new book, which sports a 10th century mosaic image of Muhammad, that has the Islamist lobby apoplectic. “Why We Left Islam” also contains brutally honest testimonies from former Muslims who have left the religion despite the threat of death. “Why We Left Islam” shows the potentially ugly realities of living under the Islamic yoke.

The book is edited by British journalist Susan Crimp and Islam expert Joel Richardson, using a pseudonym because he already has had death threats against him.

“If Muslims rioted around the world after a Danish newspaper published a political cartoon making fun of Muhammad, what will they do in response to this?” wonders Farah, himself a former Middle East correspondent of Lebanese and Syrian ancestry.

The book is filled with first-person stories of former radicals who began to question the Quran and ultimately changed their lives.

Khaled Waleed, for instance, said he was indoctrinated with the same type of teaching as fellow Saudi Arabian Osama bin Laden.

“Our teacher and other Islamic scholars told us that as Muslims, we are the best people in the world,” he writes. “I listened to my imams and was disturbed when they used abusive language to describe non-Muslims as the grandsons of monkeys and pigs … [they] told me that it was my duty to revile and ridicule non-Muslims.”

Waleed says the attack on the World Trade Center changed him: “On Sept. 11, 2001, I saw the real face of Islam. I saw the happiness on the faces of our people because so many infidels were slaughtered so easily. I saw many people who started thanking Allah for this massacre.”

TBN Youth Host now a “Gay Christian”

That’s right folks. The Trinity Broadcasting Network, America’s #1 religious show, has produced (no surprise) another whopper of a story, although not for the glory of God.

The internet is ablaze thanks to the secular homosexual community about Azariah Southworth of Nashville (google his name for the rundown), who has announced he is now a homosexual christian.

Due to the fact that I watch very little TBN programming, I had never heard of Southworth, neither his “popular” youth show REMIX which consisted of showing videos and having religious rock personalities on as guests.

Those who are now applauding his open sin probably had never heard of him for the same reason. But now he is a star, a hero because he is one of them.

Words like brave, honest, genuine, authentic, courageous are being used to describe Southworth’s actions.  He has said that he knows he will be (watch the choice of words) “I know I will be cut off from many in the Christian community”.  There’s no mention of his sin cutting him off from God.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2 This scripture lets us know that sin will indeed separate you from God. His love is steadfast, but unrepentant sin will cut off your relationship and fellowship with God. Look at the lexicon of this verse.

On his way out into the open Southworth makes an interesting claim, which is true.

“We all know there are so many other gay people in the Christian industry; they’re just all scared. I was scared, but now I’m no longer afraid.”

All of the major genres of “Christian” music and entertainment are chocked full with —not strugglers– but people who are reveling in their sin privately. They are only waiting for an opportunity like Southworth, to announce that they are now comfortable with sexual immorality and their so-called faith. They are waiting for the further desensitization of the church to sin.

No word from TBN whether the show will be cancelled. Its doubtful. TBN’s founder Paul Crouch, Sr. was at the center of a homosexual controversy himself. Paul Jr. recently divorced his wife after adulterating with new age religious profitess Pastor Melissa Scott [more info]. The network regularly features numerous false prophets and money-mongers so Southworth most likely has nothing to worry about. At least from the “Christian community”.

UPDATE: According to About.com Southworth’s show actually debuted on NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) but was later picked up by TBN’s Youth Network. Southworth also “cooked and shopped” with his guests.

Is Your Eye Clear?

By Paul Washer

<quote>”Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where

moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither

moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or

steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear,

your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad,

your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that

is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! No one can

serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the

other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You

cannot serve God and wealth.

Matthew 6:19-24 </quote>

The previous is one of the most important passages in the

Scriptures with regard to Christian priorities and missions.

According to this Scripture, the Christian is to be on constant

guard in order not to stray from eternal priorities. Two

choices are always before us. One choice offers immediate

rewards that are temporal and deceptive. The other is a narrow

road which may cost us everything, but the rewards

are eternal and beyond the ability of even Scripture to describe.

God’s Treasure

If we know that which is most treasured by God, then we will

know that which should be most treasured by us - God’s treasure

and ours should be the same. This is the very thing that

made the life of Jesus so different from the life of every other

man. He treasured only what His Father treasured. May God

grant us the grace to do the same.

What is it that God most treasures? With only a cursory reading

of the Scripture, we quickly discover that God’s priority

is His own Glory. He desires that every aspect of His being,

attributes, and works be made known to creation and that all

praise and honor be ascribed only to Him. Consider the following

Scriptures:

“For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My name

will be great among the nations.”

Malachi 1:11

“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed

be Your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.’”

Matthew 6:9-10

It is God’s great desire or treasure to see His Name held in

highest esteem among the nations, and among all creatures

in heaven and on earth. At first sight, this may appear selfcentered,

but first sights are often very deceptive. For God to

seek His glory above all else is the greatest demonstration of

His love.

The depth of one’s love is often demonstrated by the costliness

of the gift he/she gives. If someone was to give you

a twig or a small fragment of gravel, it would not be an

overwhelming demonstration of love. You would not rush

out to alert the media, nor would you gather your friends

about you to tell them of this great love that has been shown

to you. It would not be something that you remembered

very long, much less, that you held close to your heart all

the days of your life. However, if someone gave his life that

you might live, this would indeed warrant such a reaction.

It would be a story worth the media’s attention, and your

friends would most likely want to hear all about it. You

would treasure such a selfless act of love all the days of your

life. So then, the measure of one’s love is often manifested

by the greatness of one’s gift.

Now we must ask ourselves a question: “What is the greatest

gift that God could ever give?” It is not prosperity, health, or

even heaven. He Himself is the greatest gift. The most loving

thing that God can do for His creatures is to work in such a

way so as to reveal or demonstrate the fullness of His glory

to them - to take center stage and call all creatures to fix their

eyes and hearts upon Him. For this very reason, when God

does what He does for His own glory, it is the greatest demonstration

of His love toward the creature.

The adverse of this is equally true. The most destitute and

pitiful of all creatures are those who do not know God, who

are unaware of His glory, and cut off from His truth. The

Scriptures declare that God has set eternity in the hearts of

men (Ecclesiastes 3:11). This infinite aspect of the heart can

only be filled by the infinite. Man may pour into his heart all

the fame, wealth, power, and pleasure that this world has to

offer, but he will still be empty. Eternity cannot be filled up

with the temporal, nor can infinity be satisfied by the finite.

Man’s heart was made for the full measure of God’s glory.

Apart from this, man is destitute, miserable, and empty.

In summary, God’s treasure, His greatest desire and purpose

is that His Name be great among the nations, that His Name

be hallowed (highly esteemed), that His Kingdom come, and

His will be done! However, we must ask ourselves, “Is this

our greatest purpose and passion?”

We lay awake at night and worry about so many things. We

fret and are anxious about so many things. We desire things

passionately, fanatically, even to the point of obsession:

houses and lands, jobs and promotions, fame and reputation,

needs, and wants, and countless other things. But when was

the last time that sleep escaped us because of our concern for

the nations that have not heard? When was the last time that

our hearts broke in two because there are places on this earth

where God’s Name is not hallowed, His kingdom advances

ever so slowly, and His will is not foremost in the hearts of

men? We fret and sweat about so many things, but do we ever

give any thought to that which is most on the mind of God?

Christ’s Warning

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth

and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.”

In this verse, Jesus is calling for a radical decision on the part

of His disciples to repent of their earthly materialism and

turn their hearts toward God and His kingdom. Although the

Scriptures speak of wealth as neither good nor bad, it does

warn us that the love of wealth is a great evil (I Timothy

6:10) and that the seeking and hoarding of wealth will

only lead to loss and shame on the day of judgment ( James

5:2-3).

Regardless of the warnings that run throughout Scripture, it

seems that the desire for wealth is God’s greatest competitor

for the hearts of men. It is ironic that although most people

spend most of their time, “treasuring treasures,” very few ever

really “possess treasures.” And those rare individuals who actually

do obtain their treasures here on earth quickly grow

tired of them once they are obtained. Is it not a very foolish

thing to trade the glorious gifts of God for earthly treasures

that we rarely do obtain, and if by chance we do obtain them,

we quickly grow tired of them?

Name one thing on this earth that is highly coveted by men

and we can quickly assess its true value with one simple question:

“Is it eternal?” If it is, it is worthy of being obtained even

at the expense of all other things. If not, its worth is equivalent

to the dust into which it will turn. To seek for it is a pathetic

waste of a human life and fool’s errand.

Christ’s Admonition

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither

moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break

in or steal.”

The Scriptures do not speak against treasure or the pursuit

of treasure, but it does speak against foolishly wasting the

life God has given us in the vain pursuit of things that have

no eternal value and can never fill the infinite desire of a

heart made for eternity. In Isaiah 55:2, the Scripture shakes

its head in bewilderment at men who seek for the temporal

at the expense of the eternal:

“Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your

wages for what does not satisfy?”

Nothing except the person and will of God can fill a man. The

only treasure worth having is that which is eternal and comes

from God. Such treasure is found only by doing His will, living

for His glory, and seeking after His Kingdom. Has God

not promised to care for us? Has He not promised to meet

our every need? Has He not shown Himself capable and willing

to fill His children with blessing and to not withhold from

them one good thing? Why, then, do we put earthly pursuits

ahead of the pursuit of God and God’s pursuits? Our one

obligation is also our only means of truly living an abundant

and satisfied life - “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His

righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). Heaven and earth shall pass

away, the inferior products of this world will burn up in the

fire as hay, wood, and stubble (I Corinthians 3:12-15). However,

the man who does the will of God will abide forever and

his works will stand throughout eternity (I John 2:17). There

will be no regrets in heaven for having lived “too much” for

the kingdom of God, but we can be assured that there will be

great regrets for having lived “so little.”

The Undeniable Truth

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Ever so often in Scripture, we are confronted by certain statements

that open our hearts and reveal the truth about our

character and desires. The verse above is one of those statements.

Regardless of how often or forcefully we declare that

God and His Kingdom are our greatest desire, the true desire

of our life can be revealed by smallest and simplest of questions:

Where is our heart? What occupies our thoughts above

all other things? What do we long for? Can we say in truth

that God and His Kingdom are our passion?

What if a stranger who did not know of our Christian confession

watched our lives and read our thoughts? Would he be

convinced that God and His Kingdom are our two greatest

priorities? Would he hear almost constant conversation about

the mercies of God and the advancement of His Kingdom?

Would he hear us pray with passion for the unevangelized

nations? Would he see us passing a sleepless night because

God’s Name is not highly esteemed among all peoples,

because His Kingdom has not covered the entire earth, or

because His will is not obeyed or even known by the great

majority of men?

If most were honest, we would be forced to admit that he

would hear us speaking about houses and lands, cars and

toys, recreations and hobbies. He would see us obsessed with

worldly worries, wants, and pleasures. He would hear very

little about God in our daily conversation, would see little

activity directed toward the advancement of the Kingdom,

and would think it preposterous for us to claimed that our

treasure is in heaven!

Clear Eyes

“The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear,

your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad,

your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that

is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

In saying that the “eye is the lamp of the body,” Jesus is not

giving us instructions in human physiology, but rather is

teaching us about the great influence that our desires have

on our lives. Our body goes where our eyes are focused, and

our eyes focus on what our heart desires. If our heart desires

worldly things, then worldly things will be our focus and the

very things we pursue. However, if our heart truly desires the

things of God, then our eyes will be fixed on them, and we

will pursue them with a passion. The clear eye has a single vision

without confusion or duplicity. A.T. Robertson writes, “If

our eyes are healthy, we see clearly and with a single focus. If

the eyes are diseased (bad, evil), cross-eyed or cockeyed, we

see double and confuse our vision. We keep one eye on the

hoarded treasures of earth and roll the other proudly up to

heaven” (Word Pictures).

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to singleness of

heart and purpose. We are called to seek first the Kingdom

of God and entrust all our worldly needs to the Master. He

knows what we need before we ask Him and is disposed to

do good things for His children.

Two Masters

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one

and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise

the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

Jesus taught a great deal about money. The reason is simple

- In this fallen world, money seems to be God’s greatest competitor

for the hearts of men. If by grace, a man has freed

himself from the love and pursuit of wealth, he has opened

himself to the possibility of undivided devotion to God.

Fallen man is a slave to someone. The question is not whether

or not a man is a slave, but whose slave is he? Some men are

enslaved to other men, some to themselves, and others to

things such as money, security, and respectability. Other men

are given to vain pursuits, deceitful pleasures, or something as

“harmless” as a hobby. The list is almost endless, but Christ

calls us to turn away from such slavery and turn wholeheartedly

and without reservation to Him.

Although the above Scripture teaches us that it is IMPOSSIBLE

to serve God and wealth, the application is far reaching.

There can be no competitors in the heart of the believer.

We must constantly survey our lives and search out competing

loyalties. When we find them, we must be careful to deal

with them severely. We must not show them even the slightest

compassion. If we spare them, they will become barbs

in our eyes and thorns in our side (Numbers 33:55). We can

never truly serve God while such things are hanging around

our hearts. Even those things most precious to us must not be

excused from our censure. Jesus taught that it is better for our

right hand and right eye to suffer violent mutilation than for

them to become stumbling blocks to the upward call of true

discipleship (Matthew 5:29-30). We must put away anything

that deters us from Him and His pursuits. Our lives are on

the line and eternity is at stake! The Expositor’s Bible Commentary

concludes:

“Both God and money are portrayed, not as employers, but

as slave owners. A man may work for two employers; but

since ‘single ownership and full time service are the very essence

of slavery’ (Tasker), he cannot serve two slave owners.

Either God is served with a single-eyed devotion, or he is not

served at all. Attempts at divided loyalty betray, not partial

commitment to discipleship, but deep-seated commitment to

idolatry.”

Fitna - The Horror of Islam   

 

A 17 minute film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Fitna juxtaposes verses from the Koran with images from the world of jihad. Heads cut off, bodies blown apart, gays executed, toddlers taught to denounce Jews as “apes and pigs,” protesters holding up signs reading “God Bless Hitler” and “Freedom go to Hell” — these are among the powerful images from Fitna, Arabic for “strife” or “ordeal.” Warning for graphic images

The 666 Agenda, Living The Lie - And Loving It

 Warning this may be Frightening For Many!

 (The Watchman Report)

 

You must understand why God wants you know the things contained in this message. IT IS NOT TO FRIGHTEN YOU, though it will frighten many of you at first as you begin to comprehend the vastness of the deception and betrayal you have been a victim of for most of your life. It will be uncomfortable, in that you will realize that you have been living a total LIE, even though Yahshua, the One in whom we say we worship and adore stated this very fact over and over again. He instructed us to trust no man and to make the Kingdom of Heaven, and the acquisition of it, the priority of our lives, but because have been disobedient to His instructions, we find ourselves in this baffled state when the truth of this lie is revealed, and we stand like deer caught in the headlights, even though we were instructed just who was the current ruler of this world .Yahshua stated that this entire experience called life on planet earth is a lying and deceptive experience. John the writer of Revelation was given this same message, as was Peter and Paul, but we, though we call ourselves Christians and followers of Christ, are in fact - NO SUCH THING! We are in truth followers of the status-quo - which by the way - does not lead to the Kingdom. This is why Yahshua stated very plainly:

*    Matthew 7:13-14 Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it. (14) Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

So many have already discovered that you cannot toy with God, and have found that upon leaving this life, they were not allowed to enter into His Kingdom. I’m speaking of people who called themselves Christians folks! I could write a book on the subject and entitle it, Christians In Hell, because so many, many have been consigned to it. They FAILED! Failed because they thought they could shuffle along through this life with their half-baked faith, lackluster response to the instructions given, making up their own rules as they went along, claimed to love God all the while hating their brothers and sisters; turning their back on the poor. These poor souls have discovered something that I never want to experience - It’s not nice to play with God and take His instructions lightly. There is a price to pay, and that payday is coming for all of us. This is what Yahshua was so trying to ingrained in our minds.

We have been lied to all of our lives, by people we trust, from our parents telling us about Santa Claus to the Easter Bunny. Lies have been our introduction into our earthly experience, but little did we realize that these little lies were only the tip of the iceberg of the big lies to follow.

God wants you to know these things so that you can begin to prepare and strengthen your spirits through more sincere and passionate prayer and relationship with Him ON A DAILY BASIS. This will strengthen you over time and create within you a power and a faith in Him that is so strong that you will actually become fear-less! This is the spirit you will need in order to survive what is about to break forth in America and then the world.

You have read that there was coming a time when Satan would receive unrestrained power over his temporary domain, the earth. He won this when he successfully deceived our patriarch and matriarch, Adam and Eve in the garden, but for nearly 6000 years Yahweh has restrained and frustrated Satan’s attempt at setting up a one world government and controlling the masses, a right in which he was due. He frustrated the building of the Tower of Babel for this cause, as it was Satan’s attempt at rushing the matter. Well guess what - the Tower of Babel is back and just in time for the antichrist.

This is a picture of the Tower of Babel, rendered from the most famous painting of it, overlaid with the European Union’s Parliament building, built in honor of the Tower of Babel and one of the headquarters for the New World Order. More on this 21st century occultic, abomination later in this message.

We have entered the dispensation of time for Satan’s temporary unrestrained reign. By misinterpreting scriptural prophecy we have underestimated this reign and the ONLY protection that mankind will have against this nefarious conspiracy is a strong relationship with Yahweh through His son, Yahshua, and most importantly, faith in His Word, which is our sword, our ONLY weapon in defense and offense against this great evil.

We have entered a time period where no luke-warm relationship with God will protect us from the coming onslaught of Satan by his minions, the proponents of the New World Order, the beast of the Book of Revelation. Maintaining our former luke warmness will be a literal death sentence for you and your family in what is coming-and is already here, just waiting for the go-ahead to be implemented.

You are going to be utterly and totally surprised and appalled at those you will discover were and are knowingly a part of Satan’s camp, literal Satan worshippers, from captains of industry, politicians, world leaders and even many renowned Christian leaders.

How deep and high up does it go?  Well, take a look at the Republican Party logo and ask yourself, what is wrong with this image?  This is not about the Republicans party only, as it is deep within both parties. What do you see in this logo of what ignorant Christians call God’s Own Party (GOP). What do you see?

“Mommy, why are the stars upside down on the elephant?”

Okay, let me help those who don’t see it. Let’s zoom in on the stars:

Gee, don’t they look strangely familiar? There are three of them, which represents a trinity of stars…or a trinity of something. Look again at the position of the stars and ask yourself what you see? At first it looks like the stars are tilted, but upon closer inspection you see that the stars are upside down in what is known as the baphomet position. What is the symbol of the baphomet?

Ahh yes, God’s Own Party ‘eh Christian? Think again!

Something evil has taken over America and they are being very obvious about it, not only in their actions, but even in their symbolism.  The new Republican Party logo above was introduced around the same times as the announcement of the New World Order.  You’ve seen it a million times.  In the logo they are revealing something to you.

If you think this is merely a coincidence, you are not only highly mistaken, you are who they depend on, the highly deluded.

Do you honestly think for a moment that this logo was not carefully scrutinized when designed?  Do you honestly think this was merely an oversight?   One would have to PURPOSELY flip the stars to the obvious, upside down, Satanic, baphomet (pentagram) position.

Do you think that they, the most highly paid, high powered graphic artists who designed the logo, didn’t know what they were doing, when there is so much of this Luciferian, Satanist symbolism of upside down stars representing Satan EVERYWHERE? That they didn’t see it when they turned the stars upside down on the republican Party logo?

When the stars and stripes of our flag are upside down it is a military symbol for DISTRESS!  Why then would they even consider, turning the stars UPSIDE DOWN?  I’ll tell you why, because Freedom and Liberty in America-is now in great distress - and they new what their agenda was and is.

They no longer care that you know who now is in control of the government, and they are testifying to all of America (through symbolism and their actions) their allegiance to whom they serve, the father of lies, the dark side, and they laugh at our ignorance, and our naive belief that they are “Christians”. (image source: Google Images <http://images.google.com/images?q=Republican+Logo&hl=en> )

These are the last of the last days, when Satan shall finally have unrestrained dominion over his domain, and his minions are in place, smiling at you, being charming, all the while perpetrating the biggest conspiracy against humanity since the dawn of time, and pretending to be Christian in the process, but Yahshua said, “You shall know them, not by their words, but by their fruits (works).”   Since when has Yahshua condoned pathological lying, mass murder and deception?  Did He not say that Satan was the father of lies?

They do not call themselves Satanists, as that is considered sacrilege and blasphemy in their ilk. They call themselves Luciferian’s, as Satan has deceived them into paying homage to him by using his past title and rank, even though he has been demoted from that exalted rank and has become, Satan, the accuser of the brethren. They can call him Lucifer if they want, but though you pronounce the word roaches as roa-shays, because you live in Beverly Hills - they’re still nasty cock roaches.

I cannot impress this upon you enough, these are going to be some very strange days and you will actually come face to face with the reality of all that you have been studying. You will come face to face with Satan worshippers in high places that seek your demise.  You will come face to face with the betrayers of both the Constitution of the United States, as well as betrayers in leadership positions within Christianity, the false-apostles who are and have been minions of Satan himself, which will cause you MUCH confusion!

You will wonder how you could have ever been so deceived, but that is exactly what Yahshua has warned us about.

Don’t take offense, as prior to receiving this message from Yahweh, I was totally deceived myself.  I never knew or even realized that these things were happening.  I totally under estimated our enemy, Satan.

We must realize that he is a much shrewder enemy then we all previously imagined, even though it has already been decided that he will eventually lose, but he wants as many of us to lose along with him.  This is why we were given such a stern warning about the endtimes.  Yahshua knew the plan, He also knew the cunningness and seductive power of Satan.  He knew that millions upon millions of His people would be utterly deceived in the last days, not by dark and obvious cults, but by mega-million-dollar churches, church leaders and flock-fleecing televangelist’s!

If we had used the Book of Acts church as our roadmap and guide, before joining our many churches and supporting such sculpturally unsound frauds (false christ’s), we would not be in this mess today.

We will all be in the valley of decision, vexed and angry by what we are about to discover.  Not just in the words of this report, as many will not believe it, but in the actual events that will start to unfold that will validate what you have read here.  This message is only God’s warning to us to be on alert and prepare.

You don’t have to believe this report, but if you are a sincere follower of the teachings of Yahshua, please read it and pray about it, as in the coming days-it will all, sadly, make sense to you, but you shall have come out of the great whore and be the blessed of Yahweh, even in the short tribulation that is about to break forth!

To put it bluntly, this message and alert is being sent out to alert Christians and the Christian Church that the strange and bizarre events of the tribulation period are about to begin, starting in America first! We are in the beginning of sorrows, but it will not be long before we are in the midst of the time of Jacob’s trouble.

There will be an extremely important message coming, on conducting spiritual warfare for those who are unfamiliar. It is of the utmost importance as we enter into the tribulation period.

As always it is free and not for sale, by order of the Most High.  I am not allowed to sell you any of this.  That is why it is on the Internet and not in book form.  Stop spending your money on prophetic interpretation books and prophetic-FICTION movies -they are not from God!  He does not sell His interpretations!  Does this make sense to you?

Summary Of The Alert

There is very timely and dire trouble on the horizon for America and its citizens, terrible and horrific times are about to break forth in America and upon Christians and the Christian Church in America. Unlike other warnings of impending judgment and purging, these events will begin to occur possibly within days, weeks or months, or as long as it takes for them to complete the image of the beast, Nazism - in America.

Use this GOD GRANTED short period of time of relative peace and safety to seek more sincerely and passionately His direction for your life and those of your loved ones in these matters.

Yahweh is about to judge the ungodly in America and purge His people. He wants you to be safe during this judgment/purging period. Purging is not for the purged, but for the stiff-necked, the haughty, the spiritually lazy, the unrepentant and the self-righteous.

In this hour it will be a mortal error to think that you are already protected from this judgment and purging, just because you are a Christian. There is something that He wants you to do in order to escape the horrible trials that are at the door. Remember what our Savior said, “Pray that you would be found worthy to escape.” So do not assume that you are, but be obedient, PRAY that you may be found worthy to escape!

These perilous times will begin in America and will eventually encompass the entire world, but they will start here in America. A difficult trial is coming to every American, but more specifically to those who call themselves Christians.

You MUST know what has been transpiring and is about to transpire in your nation, things you are not aware of, things that you will have to endure, regardless of your standing with God. But to endure from the protective custody of Yahweh is a far better thing than enduring from within the camp of the suffering and dying.

So, thou good and faithful servant, hear these words, that you will be able to save yourself and the lives of your loved ones in the coming hour of trial in your nation. Prepare yourself to forsake all that you have been clinging to for the sake of your safety, as Matthew 24, Revelations 12:6 and Revelations 18:4 are about to be fulfilled.

The spirit of the ministry of Jeremiah is now in the land of America - take heed Daughter of Zion (Christian Church) - the time is very, very short before these things begin to germinate into the horrible weed of extreme suffering, destruction and the death of millions of American souls.

Now put on the full armor of God and let us continue our journey down this horrid, dark, Satanic ‘rabbit hole’ together with the Holy Spirit as our guide, in order to uncover the enemy plans made against America and the church in America. That you may receive intelligence from your Commander-In-Chief, Yahshua, as to what the enemy is planning and doing and what you are to do in this most dire of hours for this nation.

If you fear to go down this rabbit hole, then what kind of cowardice, Christian Soldier are you? How can you admit to be living in the last days, yet think that you will avoid the events of the Revelation of John? If you are thinking rapture, let me remind you of the words of Yahshua;

*    I pray NOT that you (God) would take them out of the world, but that you would keep them from the evil. - John 17:15

You need this intelligence briefing prior to the battle. Without it, Christian Soldier - You are doomed to be defeated.

If you feel that you are so spiritually secure that you do not need this information you are sadly mistaken. Who is it that the Commander sends information, but to His soldiers in the field, after much intelligence gathering regarding enemy movements. What soldier refuses to review his Commanders briefings because they feel they do not need it?

If you feel that you are so self-righteous that you need not investigate this message more fully, than let your righteousness save you and your family.

If you do not believe that Yahweh, our God speaks to us in this day then take a magic marker and mark a dotted line around your neck and the necks of your loved ones, along with the words “Cut on dotted line”.

In other words, this message is for all, to read and to pray about its authenticity.

The 666 Agenda, The Gold-Digging and Willful Bride of Christ In America

 (The Watchman Report)

As I read this back after writing under a heavy anointing, I questioned, why this was written in a place where such an important revelation was about to be revealed (the unsealed prophecies).  That is when I discovered, for the first time, that it was not just revelations that were being given, but also, soap and water for the bride.

The revelation of the unsealing of prophecy would not cleanse the bride alone, she needs to be made aware that she was dirty.  Yahweh is attempting to cleanse the bride of spot and blemish, which is, ironically, one of the MOST overlooked events that take place in the endtimes.  This is a function of the spirit of Elijah, the bridesmaid spirit, the one who comes to restore all things, and prepares the bride to meet her Groom, just prior to the return of Yahshua.

*    Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it, (26) that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, (27) that He might present it to Himself as the glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

But as I am sure, those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, you are now aware, the very wording of this message reveals, very subtly, the meanings of many long misunderstood prophetic terms.  This is by the design of the Holy Spirit.

Please don’t view me as someone who believes that he is so pure and above the law of Yahweh, someone so self righteous as to say such things to His Bride, as one who is judging the Christian Church.  I am as you are, part of the filthy Bride, and though this message reads as if a man has written it, these words are truly inspired by the Holy Spirit-for all of us.

Remember, this message is not to motivate you to leave your present church or to start another church, another denomination (there is no time), but was inspired to be written, that we the sheep, along with the cooperation of our pastors, clean up what we already have, as the time is very short-and only those who have built up their churches according to His blueprint, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts, will be spiritually prepared AND EQUIPPED for the coming days of darkness.

If it states that when the wedding feast of the Lamb occurs, the bride has made herself ready, it means that she is currently not ready and must now begin to make herself ready. Do you desire to be part of the bride, just a guest or not even invited? It is up to each of us to choose where we will stand in that soon, very soon coming glorious day.

As you now realize, Satan and his minions have been more busy than we have previously anticipated, particularly, right here in America.  But Satan is not the only one who has been busy, so has the Bride of Christ, but not with the affairs of her marriage date, but in whoring with the beast.

O’ you’ve certainly been busy O’ Bride of Christ - you have busied yourself as all brides become busy before their wedding day.  Brides become busy with the many wedding preparations, sending out invitations, and much, much excitement over that special day, but you, O’ Bride of Christ, are not busy with these things, nor is there any excitement in you about that, special day.

You, on the other hand, are busy handling all of the responsibilities and your myriad entanglements in this world, and most of you have been living in a world that is far from the reality of the real world, and you have put off your wedding day with your betrothed, in favor of sowing more wild oats in Babylon-and you don’t even know it is so. You don’t speak of leaving this place of relative poverty to live in the palace of your Betrothed, you speak of how to get as much money as you can - down here in the ditches. Why? Because of unbelief!

The king of Babylon has been playing a deadly game with you, O Bride of Christ, and If the truth of the world you so greatly enjoy wallowing in, thinking you are conquering, was ever revealed to you, how foolish you would feel, for allowing Satan to seduce you away from your beloved, in exchange for such a vile abomination.

The truth is, O’ Bride of Christ, the real world, that you love more than your betrothed, and cling to so hard, has actually been censored from you, and if it has been censored from you, how then, O’ Bride of Christ, can you make sound decisions while in it? As the saying goes, “garbage in - garbage out”.

As Christians and His future bride, we have been given a mandate, a pre-nuptial agreement, if you will, by our Savior and Groom, to learn to live in the supernatural, to see the un-natural as natural and to grow spiritually strong. We are suppose to allocate more emphasis and power to our spirit-man and less to our outer, natural man. We have failed this mandate to live in the supernatural, miserably! In fact, many Christians don’t even believe in the supernatural.

With the imminent danger of what is on the horizon for America and the world, it would be better NOT to be a Christian at all, then to say that you are, yet deny the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.  This is the danger of being lukewarm.

*    Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

- 2 Timothy 3:5

Even though we and our stiff-necked and afraid-to-be-different attitudes have utterly rejected living in the supernatural world of His Spirit, Satan on the other hand has been extremely BUSY! Busy mustering his disciples to live in the very dark supernatural. Sadly, the servants of Satan have taken their false god more serious than the average Christian has the real God, Yahweh and His Only Begotten, Yahushua.

While we’ve been playing church, for fun and profit, having pot-lucks, picnics, bingo, cruises, tours to the UN-Holyland (Revelation 11: 8) and sooth-saying sermons to tickle our perfumed and powdered, self centered little ears; all the while maintaining our everlasting in-fighting, name-calling, backbiting and bickering over the finer points of doctrine with one another, Satan has been preparing for the great day of your slaughter, and his takeover of the entire world - including the place you occupy in it.

For the most part, Christians have turned their back on one of the prime directives issued by our Commander-In-Chief;

*    I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Yahweh, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Yahweh, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world: but that you be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of your Father, Yahweh.

- Romans 12:1-2

To prove means demonstration of His power, confirming the word!  As it was written by Paul:

“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

- 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

Do you see what was just said?  Where is this POWER, where is this DEMONSTRATION to the convincing of the nations that our WORDS are not just the wisdom of men, but our words are CONFIRMED by demonstration of Spirit and Power!  Put your stones away!  I didn’t say it, I am quoting from the scriptures.

While our church leaders boast of having PHD’s, DD’s, LMNOP’s and XYZ’s hanging from their wall and call themselves Cracker Jack, DOCTORS OF DIVINITY (what a joke that is), wherein is the true degree, the degree that comes from Heaven and God Himself?  The signs and wonders that are to follow those whom the Lord has CONFIRMED with His degree, of power, that your words would not be as the many, many words and philosophies of man, as there are many, and there are many gods and many religions.

What, pray-tell, O man of God, makes what you say any different from what the many others say about their gods, about their religions?  What makes the belief if Yahshua anymore compelling than Buddhism, Islam or any other religion?  Do you see what we are up against here? Paul did not rely on words alone, knowing that every false religion can write many words and philosophies - he relied upon the power of God to convince the nations, as did Yahshua!

*    John 10:37-38 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me. (3 8) But if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works so that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.

Even Yahshua stated clearly, that if I do not demonstrate the power of God to you - do not believe me! That is to say, God would not fault anyone for not believing if He has not confirmed the word with signs and wonders. You read it! Where is this confirming power? Lost in the carnal cesspool of endtime unbelief and over entanglement with the things of this world and not of His kingdom.

Your PHD and your DD does not impress unbelievers, neither does it impress God.  It only proves and gives evidence, that you have gained your knowledge and understanding of the things of God, not from God, but from a manmade institution that of itself does not understand or know God, wherein tradition, and the precepts of men, rather than the indwelling power of God is king.

The puffed up doctors of divinity (those with PHD’s in GAWD) all want to know, who are you who speaks of the things of our Gawd. You don’t have a DD like me. What cemetery did you study at? What manmade authority do you have?

*    Matthew 21:23 And when He had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him (Yahshua) as He was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority?

Man never learns and never changes does he.

Because we have rejected our prime directive, to live in the spirit, and in many cases turned this teaching and clear understanding inside out, rather than conforming our minds to the image of Christ, we have sought to conform God into the image and likeness of our own powerless, carnal minds, and in so doing, we are proving absolutely nothing to the unbelievers except that we are a bunch of loud, cymbal clashing, powerless and an ever bickering, gaggle of lunatics!  And in so thinking, they are correct!  As even our own God would agree-a gaggle of powerless lunatics!

Why lunatics?  Only a lunatic would change the one name that gave him his power and authority.  Only a lunatic would build up churches outside of the blueprint of the Book of Acts, and expect that God is well pleased with our corrupt endeavor and bless us with his confirming power.  Only lunatics would give and support such unscriptural ministries.  Only a lunatic would replace the power and demonstration of God’s spirit with entertainment.  Only a lunatic would allow themselves to get so entangled in the affairs of this world that they can’t let go.  And finally, only a lunatic could do all of the above and think that one day they are going to come tap-dancing before the throne of the Most High, with a big, broad, gold-toothed grin saying, “I’m finally here Lord! Where’s my mansion!?”  Do the words, “I never knew you” come to mind?  Only a lunatic would try to con the omnipotent, omniscient Creator of the entire Universe and take Him so lightly.

This is how Satan is able to accomplish what he does against the saints in the book of Daniel and Revelation - because many of us are so deeply spiritually comatose and have become too self-righteous and pompous (full of ourselves) to even realize it, and we refuse to wake up!

If you don’t like the tone of these statements and find them offensive, it doesn’t get any better, Christian Soldier.  The Bride of Christ is a filthy, stinking mess, and she refuses to bathe, even though her wedding day soon approaches!

So how do we become clean and how do we reclaim this lost power that once pervaded the Christian community?  It will take more than most are willing to give, as most of our church leaders have become brutish, selfish, materialistic and much too busy building up their own kingdoms on earth than the kingdom of God.  While still others are outright denying the power of the Holy Spirit.  All are refusing to build up the Congregation of Yahshua according to His blueprint:

*    Having all things common, that there would be no poor amongst them.

*    Calling the Messiah by His God-given name, and not some double-transliterated, fabrication of man’s imagination, which has no meaning nor authority in the realm of Heaven, in which our power resides.

Some will say that this message is not of God or is of the devil because I say that we should call our Messiah by His true name and not a fabricated name.  PEOPLE!  Do you KNOW how ridiculous that sounds? They call it a sacred name cult! A sacred name cult? As opposed to what? An unholy name cult like theirs?

*    Building up His kingdom according to His blueprint, rather than the strange institutions we have constructed in our own image and our own names; elitist and tyrannical Babylonian temples where tithing has become like gambling at a Las Vegas casino, where all proceeds are in favor of the house, which is the preacher and the church organization, and not the patrons, the sheep.  Passing the plate is like putting your money into a one-armed-bandit slot machine, with the primary difference being at least the patron has a chance at getting some money back from a slot machine.

This whorish institution we have the mitigated gall to call, the Christian Church.  When in truth, God calls it, not His bride - but a great whore who prostitutes herself in the name of “Jesus” and keeps the money from her illicit affairs to herself, while the sheep languish and die of starvation from lack of the meat of the word-given in the spirit of truth, rather than the spirit of greed and to get gain!

Perfumed, powdered and pampered preachers, puffed up with great spiritual pride like the pharisees of old, fleece the flock, while giving in return meaningless and false gospels, concocted like a sorcerer by adding a dash of this scripture and a dash of that scripture, excluding those scriptures that provide the true understanding and meanings of the scriptures they have harvested.  They create and teach a man-made, Frankenstein’s gospel, wherein there is no life and cannot save, that is utterly unfamiliar to the ears of Heaven…”and my people love to have it so.”

If Yahshua or His apostles, or the martyrs, or any of the early church would visit our Cain-like offerings to Heaven, and witness what we have become, they would rend their garments and scream, “What have you done to the foundation we have laid, the foundation we gave our lives to build?  What is this monstrosity you have created, and by what authority have you done this?  Where is the power of God, confirming your word?  Where is the demonstration of Spirit?  It is not evident, because you have built up houses unto yourselves and not God!”

Are these words from God or some wholly deluded man?  If you have come to the conclusion they are from man, then why should you continue.  There are enough clashing cymbals, powerless, false preachers and prophets and other Christian annoyances available to either tickle your ears or get on your last nerve.

But you know that this is truly a message from the Most High, as you know, by His Word alone.  This message has said nothing that is not confirmed by His word, neither does it contradict the word.

You preachers and church leaders KNOW, that you have not built up His church according to the blueprint left in the Book of Acts, where is your all things common, that there be no poor among you?  Where has God’s money gone?  To your superfluous houses, cars, jets, your thousand dollar suits, your multimillion dollar, overly aggrandized church structures?

While many have expended great resources and millions of dollars in church buildings, what of the true temple of the Most High, the people?  What of the poor, the true temples of the Most High?  They languish.  This is to say, that you have NOT built up the temples of the Most High, but your own pagan, Babylonian temples, dedicated to self.  Is this what Yahweh meant with all things common?  You KNOW you are wrong in His sight, yet many will not repent.

The Book of Hermes did not pass the muster of Emperor Constantine’s, Roman Catholic Church, Council of Nicaea <http://www.answers.com/topic/first-council-of-nicaea?gwp=19>  to be placed within the canon of the scripture, but in it you will see why:

*    1 That seeing we have no abiding city in this world, we ought to look after that which is to come. And he said to me; You know that you who are the servants of the Lord, live here as in a pilgrimage; for your city is far off from this city.

2 If, therefore, you know your city in which you are to dwell, why do you here buy estates, and provide yourselves with delicacies, and stately buildings, and superfluous houses? For he that provides himself these things in this city, does not think of returning into his own city.

3 O foolish, and doubtful, and wretched man; who understands not that all these things belong to other men, and are under the power of another. For the lord of this city says to you; Either obey my laws, or depart out of my city.

4 What therefore shall you do who are subject to a law in your own city? Can you for your estate, or for any of those things which you have provided, deny your law? But if you shall deny it, and will afterwards return into your own city (Heaven), you shall not be received, but shall be excluded from there.

5 See therefore, that like a man in another country, you procure no more to yourself than what is necessary, and sufficient for you; and be ready, that when the god or lord (government) of this city shall drive you out of it you may oppose his law and go into your own city (Heaven); where you may with all cheerfulness live according to your own law with no wrong.

6 Take heed therefore you that serve God, and have him in your hearts: work the works of God, being mindful both of his commands and of his promises, which he has promised; and be assured that he will make them good unto you; if you shall keep his commandments.

7 Instead therefore of the possessions that you would otherwise purchase, redeem those that are in want (the poor) from their necessities, as every one is able; justify the widows; judge the cause of the fatherless; and spend your riches and your wealth in such works as these.

8 For this end has God enriched you, that you might fulfil these kind of services. It is much better to do this, than to buy (extra-superfluous) lands or houses; because all such things shall perish with this present time.

9 But what you shall do for the name of the Lord, you shall find in your city, and shall have joy without sadness or fear. Wherefore covet not the riches of the heathen; for they are destructive to the servants of God.

Ah, but you say, I do not have to heed this, for it is not in the Bible!  Okay, thou wicked one, here is His word from the scriptures.  Mind you, God is not against us being rich or having money.  We all need money for our day-to-day survival and welfare.  The dispute is not money, but how we use it:

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their (superfluous;possessions above their needs) possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

- Acts 2:44-45

And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul. And not one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own. But they had all things common.

- Acts 4:32

Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

- Acts 4:34-35

No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

- 2 Timothy 2:4

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;  That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

- 1 Timothy 6:17-19

I could go on, but why should I.  We KNOW what the Word says on these matters, yet we have chosen to give to God our unacceptable offerings like Cain, instead of the righteous offering of Abel, and wonder why the power of God is not evident in our meetings.

And Abel also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And Yahweh had respect to Abel and to his offering, but He did not have respect to Cain and to his offering.

And Cain became angry, and his face fell. And Yahweh said to Cain, Why have you become angry? And why did your face fall? If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at the door; and its desire is for you, and you shall rule over it.

- Genesis 4:4-7

To many, this message will make them angry, even as Cain was angry, but anger is a natural response when one is admonished for not doing according to God’s instructions, and this admonishment is for the entire Christian Church and it’s far astray leadership.

Because we have been offering the sacrifice of Cain (doing things our way), instead of Abel (doing things God’s way) we have been caught up in silly inventions, much entertainment and call the simple breath of God, being slain in the spirit, rolling around on the floor and speaking in tongues the greater works that Yahshua said would come.  When in truth, many times it is fraud, and other times it is God, merely blowing on these unacceptable works that the weak in faith will not utterly falter.

*    Haggai 1:2-10 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’S house should be built. (3) Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, (4) Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled (finished) houses, and this house lie waste?

(5) Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. (6) Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. (Never enough money)

(7) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. ( 8) Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

(9) Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. (10) Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

He is waiting for us to get it right, but I fear we are far too gone in the opposite (opposing) direction to turn back now, and sadly, our time to do so is fast running out, as the enemy’s prophesied time has come, for Satan to receive dominion over his domain, and the saints, and the church are still asleep.  This is why so great a slaughter is recorded to occur in the book of Daniel and Revelation, because no one will take God seriously…

…until it is too late!

The Coming Messengers Of The Most High
And The
Cleansing Of The Bride
Prophecy

His messengers shall bear His image, they shall be clothed with the power of His might and their tongues shall be as a 2flame of fire. Their beauty shall be the excellence of His adornment, for unto this end have they been permitted to suffer in the days of their preparation, that the marks of His body might be upon them. These shall go forth with all of His chosen, and shall achieve as has been written, and their conquest shall be in the glory of His power, for in them shall He be revealed, And before this revelation shall the thousands of earth prostrate themselves, and at this beholding shall they cry out unto Him.

The speech of these shall subdue and through the utterance of these shall many be quickened. The polish of your chosen words which have lulled them to slumber and the expressions of your preparation, together with the manner of your modeling, by which you have thought to allure, shall be as the dust with which the foolish maiden has sought to make her face beautiful, and shall cease to persuade. Men shall seek life and these cannot supply.

Blessed in that hour shall he be, who has made the word of the Lord his study and in that has found contentment, For his face shall shine with the glory of its&#
