Every story has a beginning, middle and an end. My story began not 39 years ago, but more aptly it truly began nearly 5 years ago when Father called me into Her and Christ’s service. Was I expecting it? I can’t say that I was. Sure, I’d always felt deep down inside that something important was coming my way but I’m sure a lot of people feel that. The dreamers of the world dream of worldly things…but this was to come from beyond this world.
I’ve spent the last couple of days digesting a recent update of information on the Spiritual War that was given to the ministers of the Light of Life Ministry by the Cherubic Order of Holy Angels. They were words that we’ve waited to hear for what feels like a long time and at the same time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. As I write this I pray to Father Yahweh to guide thoughts in choosing the right words because it feels as if this might be the most important article I’ve written and will write from this side of Armageddon.
I’ve lived an ordinary life, but a blessed one. Sure, I’ve had my share of ups and downs, mistakes and disgraces, challenges and disappointments. I came into this world as an unwanted child and Father willing, will leave this world as a much wanted and loved Child of God. I began this journey thinking myself a good person as most of us do, and near the end of this journey realizing how faulty I truly am and how undeserving I am of the grace I am under and the salvation that has been offered me to take hold of.
To this day I do not know why Father chose me to serve Her and Christ Jesus in these End Times. None of us ministers do. But as for myself, Regina Adonna-Aaron, and Deborah-Moses, JohannaMoria-Angelinayaona, Jeshaiah, and Elisha Amana Yovanna, the joy of receiving the call that spoke so strongly and distinctly to our hearts has never ended and we’ve striven to do our best in sharing the good news, the warnings, and the truth. Father has guided our hearts throughout the months, the days, the hours and even the minutes during times of difficulties.
In this my journey of service to Father and Christ Jesus our Savior, I vowed to do my very best and to do all that I am humanly capable of in shedding the light of truth to the masses.
The truth as it stands right now, in this 10th month of the year 2009 is that time is very, very short. I want to assure you that when I tell you this, it’s not to frighten you because beyond Armageddon, in Christ’s Kingdom and even beyond that time into Eternity, there is so very much to look forward to. People hope and pray for peace on earth every day, but what they don’t realize is that it won’t come until Father’s plan for creation and expulsion of all evil from creation is completed. These things must happen, so that our prayers can be answered – it’s just that it has to happen in Father’s own timing and according to Her will.
The news we were given is this: Last week, the Lions of Zion offensive had begun in establishing a corridor that would act as the escape route from earth at the Rapture – in the same way that the dry sea bed of the Red Sea was the Israelite’s escape route from the Egyptians. Satan’s side was given a fair chance at halting the establishment of the corridor and ultimately avert the rapture but they failed. The corridor was secured and continues to be held by Father’s faithful Holy Angels that are assigned to this task.
The important thing to understand is that this is the prelude to the gathering of Father's flock to safe haven through the corridor to the waiting Rapture vessel. And for those Raptured, it will mean the death of their fleshly vessels to the rebirth in spirit vessels that will be almost instantaneous.
Isaiah 43:5-6
5 Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north: Give [them] up!
and to the south:
Do not hold [them] back!
Bring My sons from far away,
and My daughters from the ends of the earth —
1 Corinthians 15:52 "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed."
We do not know when this will occur; only that it will be soon. The time table is in Father's mind and has not yet been made known as to when the gathering will begin. It could be at any moment, or it could be longer than anticipated.
Mark 13:33 Watch! Be alert! For you don't know when the time is [coming].
Matthew 24:36 [ No One Knows the Day or Hour ] "Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son —except the Father only.
I’m sharing this with you, dear readers and extended flock, so that you will be warned but also so that if you haven’t already, you might make preparations within your own self and in your heart and mind. I encourage you to share this truth with others if you should feel moved to, so that they might be informed and prepare as well.
Father is ready to take Her children home and remove Satan’s imprint from creation. Humans will come to realize they have never done anything in private, and that all has been watched and recorded. Each human must stand upon their own merit if they do not come under the Ransom Sacrifice. That Sacrifice is the only thing provided in creation that can blot out past sins.
For those that scoff, or who refuse to accept and believe, they will weep when they see the full truth staring themselves in their hearts. But for them, it will be too late, and that is where they gnash their teeth at knowing what is to befall them.
Psalm 112:10 "The wicked shall see it and be grieved, he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish."
In a world where the truth may seem for so many, so hard to find, I do not ask you to take my word for it but instead turn to Yahweh, who’s Holy Spirit reveals all things. Do not ask me to provide proof, because the proof is all around you and if your heart is open to receiving truth, then you will see and understand just as I have. Do not place your faith or your trust in me, but in our Heavenly Father, Yahweh, who saves. And lastly, no matter what happens, do not give up hope and do not abandon Father. Hang on and trust in Yahweh’s promise.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Online Ministry Launches Program to Connect Those Affected by Economic Crisis With Those Who
Can Help
Owings, MD. -- November 1, 2008 -- In the face of economic crisis and cries for help from those affected by it, an online Christian ministry has launched a new program which offers hope to those who may be losing hope or have lost hope all together due to financial difficulties and homelessness.
With foreclosures and homelessness numbers
skyrocketing, the need for a place to connect with others who are ready and willing to help is in desperate need.
This unique venture, which is called Arks of Safe Haven, connects these people via an extensive network and online message board forum, that is moderated personally by five ministers who will have a hand in making these connections happen.
Arks of Safe Haven is intended to provide a Safe Haven for all who enter and answer the prayers of those in need as well as provide spiritual support, comfort and hope in the midst of the Great Tribulation.
Those
individuals who have been affected by recent economic downfalls can register on the message board, and connect
with others who have also registered and who are able to offer their help and assistance.
Arks of Safe Haven does not charge for their services or accept monetary donations, but instead provides an "Ark of Safe Haven" and encourages acts of kindness towards those in need whether it is providing employment, or shelter in the form of an extra bedroom, unused property or a work for room and board agreement and also tangible items such as food, water, diapers, formula, clothing, & many other personal Items.
The Arks of Safe Haven Message Board Forum is located at www.arksofsafehaven.org.

Isaiah 58:6-8
Isn’t the fast I choose:
To break the chains of wickedness,
To untie the ropes of the yoke,
To set the oppressed free,
And to tear off every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
To bring the poor and homeless into your house,
To clothe the naked when you see him,
And to not ignore your own flesh [and blood]?
Then your light will appear like the dawn,
And your recovery will come quickly.
Your righteousness will go before you,
And the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
There has been a lot of talk and news coverage about the national debt, Wall Street, unemployment, government bailouts of big businesses and the downfall of the housing market for several months now. This past week, our ministry received instruction by the authority of Christ Jesus, to do Father’s will in helping the homeless. Specifically, we are to develop a program to help those in the United States that have been deprived of the right to live within society’s boundaries. Many have lost their life savings, homes and are now forced to live in the streets. This is a part of the yoke of oppression that exists not only in the United States but in all parts of this evil world and as the prophetic global monetary collapse comes more and more into fruition, it will only increase.
Last year at exactly this time, I was homeless. Thankfully, I was extremely blessed in that Father provided me a safe haven via my sisters in Christ and I had a roof over my head for those five weeks. While I was extremely fortunate to have had the kindness of others to lean on, I still remember very well the feeling of not having a place to call home. Five weeks is not a long time, but when you’re homeless and without anywhere at all to go, even a single night can feel like an eternity. I recall one particular night, lying in the bed provided me with tears trickling down the sides of my face wondering what in the world I was going to do – where I was going to go or end up and how it was that I’d gotten to this point. While I was thankful and maintaining my faith in Father’s will the best that I knew how, I was also afraid. Looking back on it now and knowing how many individuals and families are going through so much worse, I’m ashamed that I even for a single moment felt the way I did not only because I didn’t have it nearly as bad as others have, but also because I didn’t recognize at the time that the experience would teach me something and prepare me for the mission I would take part in beginning this year.
For many of us though we may not be homeless now, we live on the verge of homelessness with many just a month of paychecks away from losing all we have worked for. Now couple that with the possibility that your job could be lost through no fault of your own but because your company lays you off, or goes out of business all together. Then add in that your mortgage payment may go up and on top of that the growing costs of gas and food. None of us are immune to the possibility and you too, could find yourself in the same situation as these people find themselves in. They are not there by choice or due to a mental condition of some sort or because they simply don’t want to work, they are there because they have no other choice. Any one of us could suffer the same affliction they are from Dawn Lucifer’s beast (the government) that will not offer help to those that have fallen outside of society.
The saddest part of all of this is that there are only so many shelters out there and many are already filled to capacity night after night. This is why we’ve seen an increase in encampments of tent cities popping up across the country. And, when the homeless can’t find a bed, a tent is the next best thing but then around the corner comes the city and forces them to leave because they are on city property or because of various city ordinances - and all of this in cities that claim to be “doing a lot for the homeless”.
Currently billions of dollars are being given by the beast to large corporations going belly up while families are forced out of their homes to suffer in the streets while top executive are accepting million dollar bonuses and resort retreats costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The money could have just as easily been given to those same families because after all, the money is partially theirs too. It is their tax dollars from labor they performed before financial crisis forced them from their homes. But do they have a voice in the matter? Do any of us? Will the beast bail them out by giving them portions of their hard earned dollars back to them when they need it most? The answer is a simple no. They are too busy literally taking from the poor and giving to the rich. It is sick and it is twisted and it is yet another sign of the end times.
There are some cities that seem to be helping the homeless. There’s a fenced in camp in California that has 140 Coleman tents that is patrolled by a guard, established after it was revealed that “400 people were living in small tents and hardscrabble camps made of tarp and plywood and anything else that hadn’t been nailed down. Now there are portable toilets and showers and sometimes in the evening kind strangers giving them food.” (Source: Inland Valley Daily Bulletin 9/2008) but at the same time, outside the camp is a sign that says, “WARNING: Enter this area at your own risk. Risks include, but are not limited to: Potential Trip Hazards, Hazardous Sharp Materials; Disease; Personal Injury or Death; Physical Assault or Attack; Damage to or Theft of Personal Property. Persons in this Area May Have Criminal Backgrounds, May be Registered Sex Offenders, or May Have Communicable Diseases. The City Has No Duty, Nor Has it Assumed Any Duty, To Provide Any Type of Protection…”
Psalm 91:1-2
The Protection of the Most High
1 The one who lives under the
protection of the Most High
dwells in the shadow of the
Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, “My
refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust.”
Protection. It is protection that they need; the kind of protection that only Father can provide. It is love and kindness and compassion that they need. They need to know that they are not forgotten. They need to know there is still reason to hope. The biggest difference between the situation I encountered in being homeless and those who have become homeless recently due to economic reasons, is that I knew in my heart that Father had not abandoned me. What these men, women and children need more than anything is to know that Father has not abandoned them and that their prayers are being heard and there is hope in the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom that is coming soon. What these men, women and children need is to come under the safety and cover of Father’s protection and to know that She guides their every step whether it be across the flatlands or up mountains that may seem to be at first, treacherous and impassible.
I have to admit in all honesty that when our ministry was given instruction on helping the homeless, I felt as if I was standing at the base of Mount Everest, looking up at its enormity and wondering to myself, “I know it will be done, but how in the world are we going to help all these people?” But then in prayer I was reminded of Noah, who built an entire Ark that was to provide a safe haven for his family and many animals. And then I was reminded of Moses, who went up against the Egyptian Pharaoh himself to free the Jews from slavery only to wander, homeless, for 40 years before being guided to the Promised Land. And then I was reminded of the apostles, who after Christ ascended to his Father were left alone with a large task of their own to accomplish. The one thing they all had in common was that Father was guiding them, just as Father is guiding this ministry so I know in my heart that we too will accomplish the task set before us. After all, as brothers and sisters in Christ we are all truly homeless – being not of this world and not yet a part of the world in which Father and Christ exist. My heart is set on fulfilling Father’s will, wherever it may lead and I know that the other ministers within our ministry feel the same. Father works through Her children to fulfill Her will whether they be angelic or human and I know in my heart that Her will, will be done and the prayers of the homeless have been heard and will be answered. They will be given Arks of Safe Haven...the Protection of the Most High.
With all the talk about the extreme crisis that has befallen us with financial bail outs and financial rescue plan’s for the U.S. and many European countries, I thought perhaps I’d write this week about God’s Rescue Plan for Planet Earth.
Psalm 18:27 For you rescue an afflicted people, but you humble those with haughty eyes.
Did you know that there is a rescue plan and that this plan has been set in place for thousands of years? Did you know that our heavenly Father hears your every prayer and will rescue you from any affliction that has befallen you? Did you know that this plan includes the vindication of Her holy name as well as the vindication of those She considers Her children and defense against an ungodly nation and deceitful unjust man? All you have to do is call on Her…and She will be there.
Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Many of us are struggling because it is a time of tribulation. What we are experience literally is, the Great Tribulation spoken of in the scriptures. Families struggle in ways now that many never have before; trying to feed themselves and their children, find work, put gas in the car, pay medical bills, and so many other things. It is a time in which our endurance and our faith will be tested – but there is a rescue plan for all of us already set in place.
Psalm 82:4 Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
Though we may feel that we are alone or forgotten or that our government cares only for corporations and big businesses, there is One who cares for each and every one of us. One who calls us Her sons and daughters and who will listen when we go to Her in prayer. Her name is Yahweh, and She is both Mother and Father to us all and She has not forgotten us.
Psalm 22:4 Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted and You rescued them.
Just as She guided the Israelites out from under the hand of slavery by the Egyptians, so to will She guide Her children out from under the oppression of Dawn Lucifer home to Her. She only asks that we have faith in Her and believe in Her son Christ Jesus and that we develop a good heart – a heart that is humble and that accepts Her sovereign laws. We must hold on and endure, practicing faith with every breathe we take and doing our best in following in Christ’s footsteps until the day he returns to rescue his flock.
Psalm 82:4 Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
There are no strings attached to this rescue plan and no interest to pay, because the ransom has already been paid by the shedding of Her son’s precious, innocent blood. Her rescue plan does not require water baptism. It does not require a belief in the Trinity. It requires none of what false shepherds have led the masses to believe. There are no deals to make, no hands to shake and no promises to make and nothing to say other than “I repent”, I believe” and “I have faith in You, Father.”
Psalm 107:6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He rescued them from their distress.
We are so blessed to be living in this day and age. A time in which we can see so many things that have been prophesied coming into fruition all around us. We are fortunate in that our wait for God’s Rescue Plan will not be a long one, because the sands of the hourglass are nearly empty and soon we will be carried away. Yes, this is Her plan. To carry us away from the evil and destruction, the trials and tribulations, the worries and anxieties that plague us day by day. And after that, She will create a new heaven and a new earth and there will be peace and prosperity once more.
Psalm 97:10 You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of His godly ones; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
Hold fast to this truth. This rescue plan for Planet Earth. Hold fast to your faith, your trust and your love for our Father Yahweh who has not abandoned us, who is very much in control, who loves us and who wants to bring us home.
I won't be voting this year. In fact, I've never voted in a presidential election. And, with the 2008 elections around the corner and all our media sources buzzing with information, disinformation, mudslinging, and late night show political jokes, I felt moved to address a very important point in this week's article to all of our readers.
There are many passionate supporters of the presidential candidates while many others these days feel that it's their patriotic duty to vote, so when they choose a candidate, they just need to choose "the lesser of two evils." It's been said that "the lesser of two evils is still evil", but when it comes to politics I prefer to say that "The lesser of two evils is still the beast."
While my reasons of the past were mainly simply a sincere dislike for all things political, this year my reason is simply because I refuse to support the Beast in any way, shape or form. In my heart, I feel that any action taken on my part to support the government of the United States is showing allegiance to the beast and my allegiance and integrity lies with Father and Her Holy Family and not with anything of this world – a world of Dawn Lucifer's making.
Just yesterday I was not surprised to read about the Pulpit Initiative that will take place this Sunday, in which 33 ministers around the country plan to break the law, endorsing presidential candidates during their sermons despite IRS rules prohibiting such endorsements for tax-exempt non-profits. This was conceived by an Arizona-based Christian legal organization – the Alliance Defense Fund – and as I write this, I find it interesting that it's the "Alliance" Defense Fund because I have to ask myself, and I don't mean to be facetious at all, but who are they aligning themselves with, Father and Christ, or the beast and Dawn Lucifer?
While I'm not surprised that this is what it's come to, I would like to think that if these 33 pastors knew; if their eyes were open to the truth of who and what the Beast really is, they would not be making this step. That if they and all Christians of our country knew that the United States sold out to stay in power and that Father looked ahead and named them as well as all earthly governments "wild beasts" because they chose Dawn Lucifer over Her, that maybe it would be different. But, it is what it is. It is what it was prophesied to be, and Christ's Kingdom will remove all power structures on this planet when Dawn Lucifer loses the Spiritual War.
Beasts as symbols of governments as described in the Word represent political kingdoms (governments) that exercise rulership. This is pointed out at Daniel 7:6, 12, 23 "6 While I was watching, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard with four wings of a bird on its back. It had four heads and was given authority to rule. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority to rule was removed, but an extension of life was granted to them for a certain period of time. 23 This is what he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it."
And also at Daniel 8:20-22 "20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king. 22 The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power."
Also at Revelation 16:10 "10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues from pain"
And Revelation 17:3, 9-12 "So he carried me away in the Spirit to a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names, having seven heads and 10 horns." 9 "Here is the mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. 10 They are also seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast that was and is not, is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven and goes to destruction. 12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour."
If you consider the cited Scriptures, they reveal that even though these political wild beasts vary in symbolic makeup, they nonetheless have certain characteristics that share a common likeness to one another. Their commonality is that they are all shown as standing in opposition to Father's rule by Her Son's Messianic Kingdom over all of creation. They are also depicted as being in opposition to Father's Holy Ones; those being Her people that She's established a Covenant with. First, was the Jewish nation and later, the Christian Congregation that divinely spawned forth from Christ's teachings.
The United States has already taken many of the steps inspired by Dawn Lucifer to phase out religion in place of a belief in science which is designed to make people believe there is no God. It's been done cautiously, because religion is a dominating factor in many people's lives, but those who are in power know who Dawn Lucifer is and they do not want to give up this world's power structure to Christ's Kingdom. In that, they are fully aligned with the dragon and this is the reason why Father must crush all of this planet's kingdoms.
"In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever." Daniel 2:44
Read over the above carefully and you'll see why the USA is aligned with the Dragon. They want to remain in power. Father says it's required to "crush" all of these nations. To "crush" means that they don't give up their power willingly. To "crush" them is to bring them to an end.
Ancient Israel was the only nation Father watched over because it typified Christ's coming Kingdom – but not anymore. That has been fulfilled in the Word as an example of what is to take place. The past prosperity of the United States did not come from being a nation under God; it came from being aligned with Dawn Lucifer Satan the Devil. Father does not align Herself with nations that are pawns in the Spiritual War that will end their existence. The exception was Ancient Israel that typified the coming Kingdom of Christ and even today, the State of Israel is no longer Father's chosen people. Those who are are those of the Spiritual Flock, which are made up of people from all nations. They are the ones that will join the Holy Ghosts in making up the heirs of Christ's Kingdom.
If you choose to believe that by your voting in the presidential election you are supporting God and Country, you're entitled to your free-will choice and if even after reading this you still feel that voting in the presidential election is taking a stand and/or doing your part in Father's plan – at least first consider who is it that you are prepared to take your stand with because there are really only two options; the beast and Dawn Lucifer or Father and Christ.
Today in the Western World and in much of the rest of the world, we are societies that exist on junk food. On every suburban and city corner can be found a McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken and this is not just in the United States, but worldwide. Our food is genetically modified, pumped full of preservatives, laced with pesticides and filled with chemicals.
For years humans have been breeding the nutrition OUT of crops. Farmers have always picked the plants with the highest yields to breed, but in order for a plant to make a bigger yield, it has to ditch its nutritional value. Today our staple crops are full of starch and seriously lacking in proteins and many other natural vitamins and because we eat this food, we must also consume chemical supplements in the form of pills, shots and drinks that are supposed to balance out our diets and (we hope) make us healthy.
Meanwhile, our oceans have become massive trash dumps containing huge dead zones, our drinking water is laced with chemicals, sewage and drugs, our animals (if not pumped full of chemicals before being slaughtered for profit) are dying off and various sea life from fish to dolphins to penguins are washing up on the shores.
Father’s Spirit has led me to recognize a correlation between the junk food we eat and the junk food most of the world ingests in the form of religious and spiritual nourishment. For the most part this is not a concern for people and to them it is simply an accepted way of life. For other people who are concerned about the quality of food they eat, they must then hunt high and low for specialty stores that carry what is now called “organic” foods that will properly nourish their physical bodies.
And in correlation, for the most part spiritual nourishment is not a concern for people. They simply accept it for what it is and assume that anything that comes from a man or woman standing on stage or behind a pulpit is truth; while for other people who feel in their hearts that what they hear is not truth, they either abandon their faith completely or it concerns them enough that they must then hunt high and low for truthful spiritual nourishment for their souls.
In truth, especially in this day and age (End Times), we should all be equally as concerned when it comes to the nourishment of our physical bodies AND our souls.
Have you ever tried to get a child to eat a carrot when they’d rather have a chocolate bar? Today, the false shepherds of the world force feed their flocks what they want, not what they need. They’re motivational speakers, not shepherds of Christ’s flock. They’re authors who release books and CD’s with titles like, Become a Better You, Your Best Life Now and Reach Your Highest Potential. Their sermons, made before hundreds and thousands within their congregations have no more spiritual nourishment than a Big Mac. And, if they’re not doing that they’re teaching falsehoods and half-truths. Things like the falsehood of the Trinity, that Baptism is a requirement for Salvation, that there are many paths to God rather than just one, and many, many other false doctrines and rituals. They have moved away from God’s truth for a truth that is modified, pumped up, laced and filled with the lies that kill.
We have Dawn Lucifer to thank for this, because this is not Father’s way. None of this was part of Father’s original plan but instead, the workings of the king of deception and lies. However, we were warned by Christ in Matthew 16:1-12:
The Yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees approached, and as a test, asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered them: "When evening comes you say, 'It will be good weather because the sky is red.' 3 And in the morning, 'Today will be stormy because the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you can't read the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation wants a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah." Then He left them and went away.
5 The disciples reached the other shore, and they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus told them, "Watch out and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7 And they discussed among themselves, "We didn't bring any bread."
8 Aware of this, Jesus said, "You of little faith! Why are you discussing among yourselves that you do not have bread? 9 Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember the five loaves for the 5,000 and how many baskets you collected? 10 Or the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many large baskets you collected? 11 Why is it you don't understand that when I told you, 'Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,' it wasn't about bread?" 12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the yeast in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
For years we have
been eating what we want to eat and not what we need to eat and at the
same time the flock has not been given proper nourishment. They have
fed their flocks what they wanted to hear rather than what they needed
to hear and though we were warned, most of us have at one point in our
lives ingested or are currently ingesting the false-teachings that make
us sick. There is still hope for many though, because in the same way
that Christ healed many during his ministry on earth, through Christ we
are healed if only we repent, have faith and believe.

“NEW research claims Aucklanders blame laziness and complacency as to why they’re not ready for a natural disaster. The Colmar Brunton survey report says Aucklanders believe being prepared is important, but ‘it won’t happen to me’ mentality stops many from making emergency plans or survival kits. “Many people think we’re never going to face an emergency situation in Auckland,” says Harry O’Rourke, group controller of the Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group.” (Source: Howick and Pakuranga Times 2008)
When I came across the above article in the news, my thoughts turned almost immediately to the correlation I see in the world today. As a minister for Christ and Father Yahweh, my eyes have been opened to these correlations and one of them is the laziness and complacency that has blinded so many from the truth of what is going on right before their eyes. It comes in many ways, from those who simply don’t believe in an afterlife, to those who do but follow a different religion or set of beliefs and to those who are Christians but who hold fast to false-teachings. Some complacently believe that judgment will never come; others believe it will come but they will not be judged either because they do not believe in the Almighty God, or because they have been misled by false shepherds into thinking their salvation is secure via various man-made religious ideals.
Isaiah 32:9- 11
Stand up, you complacent women;
listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say,
you overconfident daughters.
10 In a little more than a year
you overconfident ones will shudder,
for the vintage will fail
and the harvest will not come.
11 Shudder, you complacent ones;
tremble, you overconfident ones!
Strip yourselves bare
and put [ sackcloth] about your waists.
Amos 6:1 [ Woe to the Complacent ] Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria— the notable people in this first of the nations, those the house of Israel comes to.
There have been past judgments on the world. Two that come to mind are the account of the great flood in Genesis and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. These accounts are found in the scriptures and act as examples of the past and also instruction on the future. Even today, judgments are being metted out around the world in the form of natural disasters that make up the Great Tribulation.
As these natural disasters continue, you will inevitably see and read of instances in which people do not heed the warnings from local officials. Just today, September 13, 2008, as Hurricane Ike slammed into the gulf coast of Texas, it was reported that 140,000 people did not heed the mandatory evacuation of Galveston. All during the night, these same people who did not heed the warning called 911 calling for help because their homes were flooded and they were told by operators that they could not be helped.
When Ike had passed through the news reporters marveled at the magnitude of “Mother Nature”, not realizing that “Mother Nature” is in fact Father Yahweh’s wrath and that what happened in Galveston is only a precursor to what will happen when Father’s judgment is fully metted out against creation. These complacent people, who are overconfident and have not heeded the warnings, will call out for help when they see Father’s wrath being poured out upon them – and they will not be helped because it will be too late.
If what I speak seems harsh to you, take into consideration that you are being warned and informed ahead of time out of love so that you can escape the wrath. Also take into consideration that much of the truth has been candy-coated and watered down by the false shepherds of the day who do not want to speak of Father’s wrath because it makes their congregations uncomfortable or because they may be seen as “gloom and doom preachers”, lose popularity, or lose tithes. They want their congregations to believe that you don’t have to do anything (laziness) except believe the falsehoods that lead to complacency. These false shepherds do Christ’s flock an injustice in that they have a hand in causing the laziness and complacency of their congregations and whether or not they realize the dangers of complacency I do not know, but what I do know is that it can lead to the loss of eternal lives.
Also take into consideration that Dawn Lucifer has been working on leading people away from the Truth and Light for sometime now – well over 6,000 years. He has worked through many who have succeeded in tainting the truth with falsehoods and half-truths which have blinded much of the world so that they walk in darkness via laziness and complacency and are unaware that their eternal lives are in danger. These half-truths and falsehoods are more than I could possibly list, but the truth is that all people are judged by what is really in their hearts. The requirements for salvation are twofold. In order to obtain Eternal Life you must have (1) An Acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior and (2) A Good Heart Condition.
Those who wish to have eternal life must declare Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior. This must be done in order to be one with His coming Kingdom. We realize that many will challenge our faith and the faith of others who also declare Jesus to be Lord. They will say that we must meet certain requirements of water baptism, a belief in the Trinity and other man-made religious ideals. If those people have the right heart condition, they will see the Light. If not, they will remain opposed to what is ministered to them. That is their Free Will choice. Even if they claim to be foot-step followers of Christ, they will be deemed not worthy of Salvation unless they exhibit the Holy Spirit from within them. If they believe falsehoods about Christ, cling to their man-made religious belief systems and reject the truth will be marked accordingly by the Cherubic Order of Angels.
The prophets of the scriptures who warned of impending wrath were not warnings for only those of their time period, but also for those of us living in End Times and they should not be ignored or watered down. It is not a comfortable thing to warn people of impending judgment and destruction, but it is a necessary thing because when one is in service to Father in doing Her will to warn the masses of what is to come, one must speak loudly and clearly so that all will hear. The message that I seek to share with you now is that to become complacent in your salvation can be a very dangerous thing and can actually lead to your eternal death. This is the truth, and in all honesty it should make you uncomfortable to hear because we should all be searching our hearts and thinking about whether or not we are truly worthy for salvation and admittance into Christ’s Kingdom or if changes are needed that come from within.
A final word…The Kingdom Message of Salvation is a message delivered out of love and concern. Do not complacently ignore, but instead heed the warning that is being shared with you via Christ’s ministry and this message of salvation. If you have not already, accept our loving Lord Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior and prepare your heart by accepting truth and humbling yourself and casting away the falsehoods and half-truths and seeking the full truth and light of Father Yahweh and Christ Jesus.
Is it truly possible to be in this world, but not of this world? Christ Jesus as our example showed us that it is.
John 8:23 “You are from below," He told them, "I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”
John 15:9 “If you were of the world, the world would love [you as] its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.”
John 18:36 "My kingdom is not of this world," said Jesus. "If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. As it is, My kingdom does not have its origin here."
At John 8:23, Christ shows us that as humans, this world is where we originated in that we are first flesh and then become spirit whereas he, originated as the only direct creation of God - first Michael the Archangel/The Word in spirit, then becoming flesh as Christ Jesus before returning to spirit. He was truly not of this world as he clearly stated in John 8:23 and he remained in the world but not of this world for his entire human existence. While we originated in this world, we also have the choice to be in this world and not of this world. I’ll explain this a bit further as we continue looking at these scriptures.
At John 15:9, he goes on to explain that those who are of the world are loved by the world but that by not being of the world and instead chosen out of it, you will be hated by the world.
And finally at John 18:36 he explains again that neither his origination nor his kingdom were in or of this world.
What draws my attention in particular in the above three scriptures is that it says, of the world. Why do you think that is? Why does it say of rather than in? We are all in this world together because we exist on this planet. But is there a difference between being in the world and being of the world? In order to decipher the truths that reside within these scriptures, let’s look at the definition of the word “world” a little more closely:
Definition of World
- noun
1. the earth or globe, considered as a planet.
2. (often initial capital letter) a particular division of the earth: the Western world.
3. the earth or a part of it, with its inhabitants, affairs, etc., during a particular period: the ancient world.
4. humankind; the human race; humanity: The world must eliminate war and poverty.
5. the public generally: The whole world knows it.
6. the class of persons devoted to the affairs, interests, or pursuits of this life: The world worships success.
7. a particular class of people, with common interests, aims, etc.: the fashionable world.
8. any sphere, realm, or domain, with all pertaining to it: a child’s world; the world of dreams; the insect world.
9. everything that exists; the universe; the macrocosm.
10. any complex whole conceived as resembling the universe: the world of the microcosm.
11. one of the three general groupings of physical nature: the animal world; mineral world; vegetable world.
12. any period, state, or sphere of existence: this world; the world to come.
13. often worlds. A great deal: that vacation was worlds of fun.
14. any indefinitely great expanse.
15. any heavenly body: the starry worlds.
While there are many uses for the word world, I feel that what the Word is telling us is that to be in the world and of the world are most definitely two different things. Let’s explore this a little further.
At Psalm 9:8 it says, “He judges the world with righteousness; He executes judgment on the peoples with fairness.”
When it says, “He judges the world”, if you were to apply the first definition of the word world which is 1. the earth or globe, considered as a planet, would that then mean that Father judges not only the people on earth but also plants, animals, rocks, oceans and mountains? Of course not. So it would be more accurate to say that when Christ said the world he was referring to the fourth definition of the word world which is 4. humankind; the human race; humanity.
So let’s now ponder a bit further as to why, while we originate from and are in this world, we would not want to be of this world.
Think about the world we live in. Do you feel that it is a world that is of Father’s original design and plan - one of love, peace, harmony and beauty? Or has the world for some time now been a world that more resembles the king of all lies, Dawn Lucifer? The answer to this question can be found in the following scripture:
Jeremiah 9:6 “You live in [a world] of deception. In [their] deception they refuse to know Me. [This is] the LORD's declaration.”
Because deception is not of Father, we know just exactly whose influence it is that we are all currently under as Dawn Lucifer seeks his tin-god rulership of the world. He is the original deceiver and continues to deceive humankind in his attempt to win the Spiritual War. We currently have no choice but to be in the reality in which we currently exist - this world – and we are in bondage to Dawn Lucifer in the same way that the Israelites were in bondage to the Egyptians. It is for this reason that Christ will return to free us from this bondage. Until then, the choice is ours to be in this world but not of this world. This is probably one of the single most important choices we could ever make because choosing to be of this world could also mean losing out in being freed from bondage as well as losing our Eternal Life because Christ will not return for all of humankind – only his followers and Father’s children.
The difference between being of the world and being in this world is really a simple thing. Ask yourself. Do you accept Christ Jesus as your Savior and follow The Way of the Narrow Path or do you reject truth and submit yourself to what Dawn Lucifer has made of this sinful world and follow the wide road of destruction instead? Is this world all there is for you – making you a permanent resident? Or is there another place you call home in the Spirit Realm – making you an alien or temporary resident?
Dawn Lucifer has developed many tactics over the many years since the beginning of the Spiritual War and I’d like to talk a little bit about just one of them because in using this particular tactic he is keeping the chains that bind much of humankind to this world taught and strong. He does this by keeping us distracted from Spiritual growth and focus on Father and Christ by keeping us attracted to the fleshly desires of the here and now. He knows how to use these fleshly desires against us and how to keep us of this world – a world of his own making. However, the chains CAN be broken and we have the power, given to us by our Almighty God and example given by Christ Jesus to do this, but it takes love, strength and endurance among many other things in order to succeed.
Now think about the world today. What things is humankind most attracted to? Fame. Money. Power. Prestige. What do you hear on the Radio, hear and see on TV and hear, see and read on the Internet? What sort of people are making headlines and for what? Who are the people we look up to and idolize? How do people treat one another? These are just a few questions to ponder, but the scriptures give us a more detailed description of what our world has truly become:
2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But know this: difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of religion but denying its power. Avoid these people!”
Aside from being a major sign of End Times, what does this tell you about humanity? Are they of this world that is of Dawn Lucifer’s making? If you don’t know then you may be of this world.
I have to say that most people in this world have no idea how perilous the times we live in truly are. Father is extending warnings to humankind that are going unnoticed and it’s because so many people are trapped within the myriad of Dawn Lucifer’s snares.
1 Peter 2:11 “Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you.”
I reach out to you and I urge you, in the same way and with the same urgency and conviction as Peter urged his readers to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you. There are many false shepherds who are in and of this world that are preaching the gospel of prosperity while at the same time leading Christ’s sheep directly into Dawn Lucifer’s snare. Search your heart and determine if you’re of this world by asking yourself: What sort of fleshly desires are you attracted to? Do you seek a bigger, better or fancier home? Are you inwardly jealous or envious of the car your neighbor drives or the pool in their backyard or the amount of vacations they take and to where? Do you aspire to possess belongings and material things? Do you seek fame, money, power and prestige for self-serving reasons? Are money, sex, drugs and alcohol or any of the things mentioned above more important than your relationship with Father and Christ or your eternal life?
You see, these things, these fleshly desires that are innately a part of us and war against us, are exactly what Dawn Lucifer uses against us to snare us in the Spiritual War. They are empty and have no meaning at all and he is betting that these things will be more important to us than Father, Christ and our own eternal lives. You must come to a realization that they are all only temporary! You must come to understand that if Dawn Lucifer can get you to focus on these meaningless, empty things; if he can convince you to focus more on THEM than on your relationship with Father and Christ and your spiritual growth, he has you right where he wants you because these things won’t just chain you to this world but they will lead you down the wide road of destruction. The wide road of destruction is the loss of your eternal life.
This is why what is stated at 1 Peter 2:11 is so very, very important and particularly in this day and age because the hourglass is nearly empty. Time is running out for humankind. Following what is shared at 1 Peter 2:11 will break the chains that bind us to this world and when the chains are broken, we are free to aspire to be in union with Father and Christ and are given the opportunity of Salvation and Eternal Life. This is what it means to be not of this world. It is rejecting that which Dawn Lucifer has created and considering ourselves as aliens and temporary residents of this world, while being content with whatever Father provides for our livelihoods and knowing both that She will provide and that what we are experiencing in this world is only temporary too. What we should focus on is not the here and now, because the here and now will pass away but Father and Christ and Eternity will never pass away.
Your Child
Your child thirsts,
So You provide her lifesaving water,
And You Cleanse her,
And You watch her flourish
Your child hungers,
So You provide her manna from heaven,
You nourish her,
And You watch her grow.
Your child is afraid,
And she cries out for You,
So You cradle her in Your arms,
And rock her to sleep.
Your child has fallen,
So You pick her up and dust her off,
You set her back on her feet,
And watch her walk the narrow path.
Your child is curious,
So You Share with her Your knowledge,
You are Understanding and Wisdom,
And You watch her learn.
Your child has done bad things,
So You Forgive Her,
You show her straight paths,
And You watch her love You more.
You are the center of Your child’s life,
You are the reason she’s alive,
You are her greatest love,
For Her there is no other.
You are Her Father,
You are Her Mother,
You are Her Creator,
You are Her God,
You are Yahweh.
Your child loves You,
More than any other,
And she thanks You,
From the bottom of her heart.
Psalm 16
Confidence in the LORD
1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You."
3 As for the holy people who are in the land,
they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who take another [god]
for themselves multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
5 LORD, You are my portion
and my cup [of blessing];
You hold my future.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD who counsels me —
even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I keep the LORD in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad,
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely.
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol;
You will not allow Your Faithful One to see the Pit.
11 You reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.
The Definition of Confidence
1.
full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a
person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed.
2.
belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence;
self-reliance; assurance: His lack of confidence defeated him.
3. certitude; assurance: He described the situation with such confidence that the audience believed him completely.
I believe that Father leads me to explore the meaning of the word confidence in the Word, because it’s something I am lacking an understanding in. I feel that Father is helping me to more fully understand faith, trust and now confidence in Her, which all seem to fit together perfectly.
As I study the different definitions of confidence one stands out to me due to the example that is given of it being used in a sentence. “His lack of confidence defeated him”. I am now certain, that Father would like for me to reason out the importance of confidence and how it can be used to bring Her glory in my service to Her.
Philippians 3:3-5 For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh— 4 although I once had confidence in the flesh too. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
In reading the above scripture, I see that we are told that in serving Father we do not put confidence in the flesh. Perhaps this speaks of a certain boldness, or pride in oneself. Because the flesh is sinful, I think it best to not place confidence in oneself, but instead to place all confidence in Father who is infallible. Confidence in oneself could also lead to leaning on one’s own understanding and being misled into believing that which is not truth. We see this evident then, in those who did not believe that Christ Jesus was the son of God in the same way as we see it today in these End Times. We also see it evident in the many people who believe that once saved is always saved and who have so much confidence in their own salvation that they do not realize that it is something that must be attained via diligence and endurance.
Proverbs 3:25-27 Don't fear sudden danger or the ruin of the wicked when it comes, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare.
When Father is our confidence, it is She that keeps our foot from a snare because we are leaning on Her in full faith and trust of her abilities and righteousness. To lean on oneself would be counter productive, as being of the flesh we can be easily misled via our own sinful natures.
Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?
Additionally, the clay cannot have confidence in itself in being able to withstand the heat it is fired in, or in its own ability to hold water. It must have confidence in the potter, to know what temperature it should be kilned and how it should be properly molded in order to contain the water poured in it without breaking. The clay must instead have confidence in the potter, who is far more knowledgeable.
2 Corinthians 8:22 We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested, in many circumstances, and found diligent—and now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.
Each day we are each tested. I have been and continue to be tested. I understand that it must occur and that it is one of many ways in which to learn and grow in Father. I know that there is a reason behind all testing that goes on. And while I fear many times that I have done wrong, so wrong that I’ve lost all chances of obtaining salvation, I also feel a voice within my heart that says that rather than being filled with fear, I should instead place my full faith, trust and confidence in Father. Because I am imperfect and still of the sinful flesh I stumble daily. And daily, sometimes several times a day depending on the sort of day I’m having, I ask Father for forgiveness because I feel so deeply how far from the mark I am. Then, the next day I get up, aided by Her Spirit, and continue to move forward the best way I know how. I am not confident in myself at all, but I now more fully understand how important it is to have full confidence in Father.
Psalm 3
Confidence in Troubled Times
1 LORD, how my foes increase!
There are many who attack me.
2 Many say about me,
“There is no help for him in God.”
Selah
3 But You, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.
There are many who attack me. Who want to see me fall away. Who play mind games and attempt to shatter my morale and cause me to lose faith and trust in Father. But it will not work. Rather, I am urged to study and dig deeper within the Word and to write about what I’m feeling and what I discover. Through this medium I am able to see the words that lift me up as I am instructed in knowledge, obtaining a greater understanding and finally wisdom.
My faith, my trust, my confidence is in Father and not in myself and while I may be weak, She is strong. Though I am made confident by Her and through Her. She is my shield around me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. The One who loves me despite my many flaws. The One who forgives my sins because I am confident also in the grace I am under and the sacrifice Her son made for us all. Through him and only him am I forgiven.
Diligently I will move forward, one foot in front of the other, eyes cast towards Her and always seeking Her instruction. I will not be defeated due to lack of confidence in myself, because my confidence is not in myself, the flesh, but instead where it should be, in Father whose Spirit moves me.
Really made me surprised and happy :-) Never would believe that something like that can happen :-) read more
