It is going to be a very sad day when the dead discover that their religion deceived them and that their pastors taught them to disobey GOD and to teach others to do the same.
“On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'”

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. However, if you don’t mind, I would like to share a REVELATION with you.
Nothing of this earth or of this world will follow us into the Kingdom of HEAVEN.
None of our good works, sacrifices, acts of praise, worship and generosity will speak for us at the JUDGEMENT. They are not the advocates or witnesses that we will need at the THRONE of GOD (YHVH).
Regardless of our profession or vocation in this life, all earthly witnesses will be silent at the JUDGEMENT SEAT OF YHVH.
NOTHING OF THIS WORLD DARES TO OPEN ITS MOUTH OR ASSUME PRIVALEDGE IN THE PRESENCE AND THE COURT OF YHVH (GOD).
Our political, religious, and social distinctions will not bear witness for us at the THRONE of GOD. They would probably make better witnesses for the prosecutor – making bad matters worse.
All the many years of service in a church or in government or in the community or in politics or in a family, will not be an acceptable witness for us at the JUDGEMENT.
Our academic achievements and scholarly accolades are deaf, dumb, and mute when we breathe our last breath.
Yet, many believers have been deceived and completely persuaded that what they do down here is credited to their Salvation – implying an attitude of entitlement for being good, rather than a humble and contrite heart FILLED WITH LOVING GRATITUDE for being REDEEMED.
Anything that we may have been privileged to do, participate in or accomplish in this life and is seen as being good, awesome, great or Herculean was done so by the POWER OF YHVH. AND IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AND IN EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO IT FOR HIS GLORY. (Not always stated but implied)
Therefore, No one can boast of him/herself, of their life-living, of their accomplishments, their groundbreaking achievements or of their purity of heart and moral standards of HOLINESS.
All have sinned and fallen short of THE GLORIOUS HOLINESS OF YHVH.
And if you are familiar with the Holy SCRIPTURES, and your heart is filled with Repentance, you may want to change your perspective about what ultimately matters and who would you like to vouch for you at the FINAL JUDGEMENT.
A lot of us have TRUSTED too completely in the Religious dogmas, Religious constructs, Political system of democracy and human intelligence and science too long. We’ve done this so long that we can’t fathom Eternal Salvation except through our own human perception, or our human religious constructs.
But the mystery of YHVH is not obtained through any human means of reasoning but by HIS SPIRIT.
1 John 5:
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater:
As for me, I need the WATER the SPIRIT and the BLOOD to testify for me.
At the end of the day, who will be a witness for you?
REPENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We live in an atmosphere of faith and trust everyday whether we realize it or not.
The manufacturers of various vitamins and medicines place their products in stores where we purchase them and willingly digest them into our bodies without the slightest concern for their cleanliness, purity, contamination or sabotage. We trust what is said about them by their manufacturers, our advisers, doctors, pharmacists, etc.
Upon the word of a physician or trainer or friends or advertising commercial, we buy artificially created medicines and alleged all natural supplements and place them in our bodies blindly trusting that they will help and not harm.
We trust in an unknown and politically driven and corrupt systems of quality control and governmental regulations to assure that the products we ingest aren’t contaminated or deadly.
We trust that the government and pharmaceutical companies aren’t conspiring together to target and experiment on certain segments of our population by contaminating their most popularly used drugs with dangerous chemicals that weaken the immune system and destroys cognitive abilities. We trust that the government and drug companies haven’t conspired together to clandestinely place chemical markers and nanotechnology in our medicines and other drugs so that they may track us and control us.
We trust in mankind and mankind’s knowledge and expertise and we gamble with our lives and health and well-being by trusting in man-made medicines and vitamins whose side effects are often worse than the illness and disease they are supposed to help.
And just in case you are not a person who takes aspirin or Tylenol or vitamins or any type of drugs or mineral and vitamin supplements, there is always toothpaste, bread and water that you buy and use while unconsciously trusting in their purity and safety.
We are constantly trusting in something and somebody everyday whether we realize it or not. And the people and things we trust in have been shown to disappoint and fail us from time to time. Some folks have even lost their lives trusting in mankind and manmade things and technology.
Although mankind has made some incredible advancements in medicine and technology, man is still essentially wicked, fallible, flawed and prone to mistakes and corruption. Only God Is Perfect.
So why are we trusting more in man than we do in God?
Why are we trusting more in man’s religions and notions about Christianity than we do in God’s infallible Word of Power and Saving Truth?
Why don’t we trust in God’s One True divine formula and/or directions for eternal salvation and the New Birth?
Why do some trust more in a demonic “sinner’s prayer” than in God’s command to repent and be born of the water and of the Spirit?
Why do we trust our own traditions, religions, feelings, science and reasoning over God’s Eternal and Holy Word?
Every person has been given a measure of faith. So why are we wasting our faith on what we know can’t be trusted and doesn’t work?
Why aren’t we trusting in the ONE True GOD who made the man who made the medicine?
It stands to reason that if God made mankind, He certainly knows more than man can ever know and He knows just what to do and how to do it to save mankind – mind, body and soul.
So Why Is It So Hard For Us To Trust God More Than Man?
As for me, I am trust In God.

Mark 9:23-24
And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.”
“Sometime the hardest thing for us to do as Christians is to admit that we don’t believe enough – to confess to God that we have insufficient Faith. But once we are humble enough to be honest with God about our own inadequacies, God is faithful to hear and to heal us. (1 John 1:9) And Christ steps in our place and advocates for our forgiveness and becomes the answer to our petitions. (1 John 2:1)”

Praise The LORD my friends and enemies alike.
I bring you greetings in the name of the Holy Messiah.
Please allow me to share a little about myself and make myself perfectly clear and repeat what I have been saying for over 30 years.
I did not “go into the ministry” as some men and women do. I did not seek the office I now serve in nor did I receive it from any man or institution. Any knowledge or insight that anyone may perceive as coming from me is not from me but from Him who sent me.
Being a Preacher-Teacher is not a job (vocation/career or big business) for which I am seeking employment, prestige, honor or glory. I am not called into the Kingdom of God ministry to compete like a business for finances, membership, property acquisitions, worldly accolades and material investments and prosperity. I am called out from the world’s religious systems and sent by GOD to teach and preach His divine Truth of salvation and challenge every creature to repent. It is a “LIFE” to which I was especially and personally called and sent by the FATHER through Christ.
Initially, man’s system of “Church and Religion” tried to indoctrinate me and pervert the message and assignment that the LORD sent and is still sending me on. But thanks to God’s intervention, I was removed from their influence and freed to operate in the office to which I was appointed and gifted by God through Christ. I do not knowingly subscribe to any institutional faith or religion. My calling and election is strongly anchored in Christ and in God as all ministers of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God should be.
It still disturbs me though that I almost missed salvation while running after Church affiliation. So many people do not realize that the system of “churches” as we have come to know them today doesn’t exist in the kingdom of God or in the message of Christ. Perhaps we shall address that subject in a future post.
I have taught other preachers in the past, through the revelation of Christ, that if we are truly sent by God, we should be able to find our “True Spiritual Selves” in the pages of the Holy Scripture, i.e., a portrait of the person we have become through Christ. And although I have found several passages of Holy Scripture that may reflect who I am and what I stand for in Christ, none seems to be more personal and applicable regarding my calling than that of Paul’s (Saul’s) proclamation in Galatians 1:1-12.
Now as you read the following scripture passage, please don’t get it twisted. I am not professing to be an Apostle of Christ by any stretch of the imagination. That Christ appointed distinction belongs only to the original Apostles of the Lamb. I am only stressing the point of the divine origin and purity of my calling and of the message of my ministry.
Galatians 1:1-12 (CJB)
1 From: Sha’ul, an emissary — I received my commission not from human beings or through human mediation but through Yeshua the Messiah and God the Father, who raised him from the dead — also from all the brothers with me
2 To: The Messianic communities in Galatia:
3 Grace and shalom to you from God our Father and from the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he might deliver us from the present evil world-system, in obedience to the will of God, our Father. 5 To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
6 I am astounded that you are so quick to remove yourselves from me, the one who called you by the Messiah’s grace, and turn to some other supposedly “Good News,” 7 which is not good news at all! What is really happening is that certain people are pestering you and trying to pervert the genuine Good News of the Messiah. 8 But even if we — or, for that matter, an angel from heaven! — were to announce to you some so-called “Good News” contrary to the Good News we did announce to you, let him be under a curse forever! 9 We said it before, and I say it again: if anyone announces “Good News” contrary to what you received, let him be under a curse forever!
10 Now does that sound as if I were trying to win human approval? No! I want God’s approval! Or that I’m trying to cater to people? If I were still doing that, I would not be a servant of the Messiah.
11 Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product; 12 because neither did I receive it from someone else nor was I taught it — it came through a direct revelation from Yeshua the Messiah.
I am not politically correct nor do I profess to be of eloquent and persuasive speech. I am simply and most humbly a servant of Father God.
May God The Father Be Glorified And Praised In EVERYTHING That I Do And Say Through Christ Our LORD!
