My people die for the lack of knowledge. Have you ever wondered why we hang crosses around our necks, in our homes, in our temples, etc? The majority of us are led to believe that it is in remembrance of our Savior. I’m here today to expose the lie. Ask yourself this question, if my eldest son or daughter were persecuted, belittled and left to die in a han-man’s noose, would I wear one around my neck in remembrance? Or better yet, would I allow his siblings to do so? Your answer to this question should be no! Then why do we do it? Because that is exactly what we are doing everytime we hang a cross in our home, on or person, and every other place that we choose to hang one. Let me tell you why! A lot of people who call themselves the children of the Father are going to talk about me for saying this, but let them talk. They talked about the Redeemer. This article, and the future book will upset a lot of demons. So, if you feel like your spirit is in a state of unrest, stop reading, because this ain’t for you anyway! This article is meant for the true believer! There’s only a precious few of us out here and I intend to use the internet to reach as many of you as I possibly can. This article’s intent is to remove the yokes of blindness that the children of the Father have been ladened with for centuries. One, being the cross! that’s right, the cross, it Satan’s second biggest lie. The first was when he convinced the world that he didn’t exist. That’s right people, wake up! The devil has taken an instrument used to belittle, degrade, persecute and eventually kill your Savior, and now he’s got us wearing them around our necks, hanging them in our sacred places for worship. How twisted is that? Look, it ain’t no secret, I’ve done it too. Then one day, I was looking at my son and something came over me. He was wearing a small silver chain with a machine gun medallion attached to it. Mind you, he was only nine years old at the time. I thought to myself, why are these people honoring death and then selling it to our children? At that instance, my eyes were opened. I began to look for a medallion that I thought was fit for my son to wear around his neck. I began to research symbols and signs. Do you know what I found? Every symbol and sign usedto market products,from shoes to toilet paper, is derived from pagan origins, even down to guess what? The CROSS! Imagine my shock, disappointment and confusion. Oh yeah, I resisted it as first too. I thought, this can’t be true! Here I was looking for something for my son to wear on his necklace, and now I’ve opened up a whole different can of worms. I asked the Father(Father, what would you have me do with this information?)And by the way He kept on whooping my butt, it didn’t take too long before I knew. I said to him, “Father, but who will believe me?” And He said to me in His word.

“Now the word of the Father came unto Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, Arise go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it;for their wickedness is come up before me.” Jonah1:1-2

Now, I was in a real bind because I din’t want to be the one to buck the so called system. So, I did what Jonah did, I ran, even after knowing what the Father did to Jonah. But as you can probably tell, it did not take long for me to stop running. You know the belly of the beast has that affect on a person. Believe you me, my whole outlook has changed. Now I’m glad to go to Ninevah. Alot of you are just like me. You know the truth, but you’re just running and hiding. In closing, I would like to say, STOP RUNNING! Let’s go to Ninevah! Who cares if some don’t listen, as long as the true ones do, and the Father’s will be done.

THE BLESSINGS OF GOD

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

BLESSINGS or BLESSING…

This scripture is the only scripture verse in the New Testament of the Bible, where the word “Blessings” is used. However, this word has become a much different thing in the teachings of the Christian church today. As discussed in the “The Gospel of Convenience”, and “Investing Christian” articles here on this site, American Christianity teaches that money, possessions, stock market holdings, “toys” and all manner of material possessions are “the blessings of God”. We too used to accept this as truth. We have recently been convicted by the Holy Spirit , and instructed by God, to speakout against this principal as a heresy, and a deception of the Devil, that it has taken some 30 – 40 years for our enemy to foster into church doctrine. We have encountered some truly amazing responses in this endeavor, in the form of, in some cases, condemnation from fellow Christians. We have been told we are “lost”, “out there”, “unthankful to God”.

The concepts of the “blessings of God”, and “stewardship” are now doctrines in the church. They include the teachingthat your possessions are bestowed “blessings”, or “gifts” from God, and that it is you’re duty as a Christian, to be a faithful “steward” of those things (I.E. that you are to maintain them, upgrade them, increase them, or nurture (love) them.) However, the word “blessings” only appears in the above scripture, and in the following verses, as “blessing”…

Luke 24:53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Romans 15:29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive thepromise of the Spirit through faith.

Hebrews 6:7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whomit is dressed, receives blessing from God:

Hebrews 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

Hebrews 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he foundno place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye arethereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in thesea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Revelation 7:12 Saying, Amen: blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, beunto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

4 times the word is used as meaning “Praise or Worship”, ( Luke 24:53,Revelation 5:12,5:13, and 7:12). 4 times it isused as meaning “salvation” ( Romans 15:29, 1 Corinthians 10:16, Galatians 3:14,and the second use in 1 Peter 3:9). 3 times it is used as meaning “Approval” or “Love” ( James 3:10, Hebrews 6:7 and the first use in 1 Peter 3:9). In the last 2 uses, ( Hebrews 6:14, and in Hebrews 12:17), Paul was discussing the Old Testament patriarchs, and the circumstancessurrounding their “inheritances” which as we know, were the “blessing” (anointing) of God, as the rightful leaders of Israel.

In no context in scripture, other than the context of ancient Israel, which we all know WAS in fact an earthly kingdom, is the word “blessing” used to indicate land, or material possessions. So the use of “blessings” as a doctrine in which people are given material wealth, possessions, and increase, as a gift of God, is out of context with the Churchof Jesus Christ, (a Spiritual kingdom), and with the Bible as a whole. Since the Old (earthly) covenant is fulfilled inChrist, its principals do not apply to the Church, except where Jesus expanded on them.

STEWARD OR STEWARDSHIP…

Also, in the entire New Testament, the word “Steward”, only appears in the following verses…

Matthew 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

Luke 8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

Luke 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

Luke 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship;for thou may be no longer steward.

Luke 16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: Icannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are intheir generation wiser than the children of light.

Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, nostriker, not given to filthy lucre;

In all 8 uses of the word “Steward” given in the New Testament, the meaning of the word is “Care Taker” of something. It is indicated as this person’s secular job. The only verse in which a steward is stated in a doctrine concerning the Church of Jesus Christ is in Titus 1:7, where the Bishop is described as one who posses these traits, please note that one of those traits is, “not given to filthy lucre;” (as described in “The Investing Christian” article). Most of the scriptures above were part of a parable, where Jesus was teaching a principle of our faith, but the “items” described inthose parables were not the point, we will discuss this further later in this article.

There are three appearances of the word “stewardship” in the New Testament, and they are found in the following versus, 2 of them were above…

Luke 16:2-4 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship;for thou may be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

Brothers and Sisters, “Stewardship”, as a doctrine from God that orders us to grow our money, make it increase, andspend our lives, and we might add a HUGE portion of our time, dedication, and strength doing, is not in line with the things that Jesus taught us about a life that is pleasing to him. These scriptures do in fact teach a “principle” of faithfulness, but when taken in the context of ALL of Jesus’ other teachings, they can not possibly be intended to refer to our constantly increasing wealth, especially when Jesus spent a very significant portion of his time condemningriches. Some would then ask “Then, what is meant by this scripture”…

Matthew 25: 14-28 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, anddelivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every manaccording to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went andtraded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of thoseservants cometh, and reckoned with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents,saying, Lord, thou delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord saidunto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee rulerover many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thoudelivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done,good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thouinto the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art anhard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed: And I was afraid, and went and hidthy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothfulservant, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed: Thou aught therefore to have putmy money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talentfrom him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents…

We would contend, that like other scripture verses that we have discussed here, Jesus is teaching the principle offaithfulness in this Parable. Often times in the Parables of Jesus, the examples given are used to teach a principle,not give a teaching on the exact items in the parable. When taken in the context of Jesus’ teaching one would need tosay that Jesus contradicted himself, if he was teaching here about how we need to expand our wealth, since he utterlycondemned wealth everywhere he went. Would Jesus teach in one city that riches are evil, and of the devil, and in another city, that you must make your money grow and grow faithfully? We think not. All of Jesus’ parables used earthlythings to illustrate his point. This parable is no exception to that rule. The parable is not about money. Here are afew examples of what we are saying…

PLease join us in a discussion on the Christian’s relationship to money and wealth, and the resulting consequences of living for wealth. See the full Article here…

Spiritualism is a religion whose basic appeal is contacting the dead. Some of the members of the spiritualists attend séances, promote methods of healing and investigate psychic phenomena. Some people become involved in spiritualism because they seek excitement. Most people join into spiritualism due to losing a loved one and they are going through a period of grief. They feel lost and vacant and the idea of conversing with the dead is appealing. Also, the idea of receiving direction from one in the spirit would be very assuring.

Spiritualists teach from the Bible. They claim to have the nine miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, which they claim to use during séances. They mention Jesus in their prayers, but they do not believe He is the Divine Son of God. The spiritualists teach that one can be “saved” by good works. However, they do not believe in a Death, Hell, or a Judgment.

The spiritualists have worship services. They sing and pray. However, the service is not like that in which Christians are accustomed. For instance; during a séance a sacrifice may be offered, it may be an animal or a human being. During a communion service – one of the spiritualists may be called upon to sacrifice a finger joint. The finger joint will be cut off and the blood collected in a cup. The cup and the finger will be distributed among the spiritualists to sip the literal blood and to take a bite of the literal finger. This they say corresponds to the Christian Communion Service. However, the Christian Communion Service or Lord’s Supper is not the literal body and blood of Jesus; but the unleavened bread and unfermented grape juice are only symbols of the sacrificial body and blood of Jesus.

The spiritualists have Mediums, which are the mediators who supposedly contact the dead during a séance. The spiritualist sits in a circle in a darkened room and follows the directions of the Medium. Ouija Boards (we ge) are very popular in the USA. However, even though there is not any power in the “we ge” board itself – it is feared by many that it is a “doorway” through which a person allows those of the spirit world to control him. They have served as a “doorway” to occult practices. Thus, it is a form of Divination, which is the art of obtaining secret information from the spirit world.

Spiritualism is very real. It is a tool used by Satan to delude and captivate people’s souls. The Bible forbids God’s people to deal with the spirit world in the following Scriptures:
“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God…” (Leviticus 19:31); “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out these nations.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)

Jesus and the New Testament writers warned about false religious teachers, who possess miraculous powers: “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect – if that were possible.” (Matthew 24:24); “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that all will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9- 11); “And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.” (Revelation 13:13); “They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the Kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.” (Revelation 16:14)

May we all strive to be better Bible students and to realize that God has spoken and encourages us to heed the following warnings: “The Spirit clearly says that in latter times, some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the Word of God and prayer.” (1 Timothy 4:1-5) “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.”(2 Timothy 3:1-5) “First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, ‘Where is this “coming” He promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.’ But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of the water and by the water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” (2 Timothy 3:3-7)

If we will all accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, then we do not need to fear Satan or his “drawings” upon us (demons, mediums, witches, and etc.) “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome then, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

The Holy Spirit, which one receives when he or she is baptized “into” Christ, is greater (more powerful) than the power of Satan, which is in the world.

May everyone of us commit ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ and follow His ways. It was Jesus who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father, except through Me.” (John 14:6)

I have been studying and teaching the Bible for over 30 years and every time I hear the words Dispensationalist or Ultra-Dispensationalist or Charismatic or even Cultist those little hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Labels are what today’s so called Christian leaders use to discredit doctrine that if they themselves were to discover it in the Word of God they would have to not believe it because doing so would ruin their acceptable ministries.

Many years ago I read a book by what is considered one of the best Bible researchers who ever lived, C. H. Welch. The book was titled Dispensational Truth. The book is about the principle of right division, which can best be described as cutting aright the Word of God. “When we use right division to understand the purpose of God for mankind, we see two distinct lines of redemptive operation; redemption unto the heavens or the earth. Already, we can see the opposition to traditional thinking.”

Mr. Welch explained that to understand the Scriptures correctly we need to use methods of answering these questions: Who is writing? To whom is it written? Why are they writing? When was it written? What are the circumstances and context?
To simply go ad hoc and assume that everything in the Bible pertains to and is written to you goes against everything that God wrote in 2 Timothy 2:15 to “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” The rightly dividing is the “Cutting Aright” that Welch refers to in his book.

The first key to the approach of trying to answer these questions when studying a passage of scripture tells us one must honestly face the Word and cut out the preconceived opinions and ideas one might have at the approach. Much like a scientist doing an experiment, the researcher must let the Word speak for itself and not let the influence of past teachers or present preachers cloud the way for the “Cutting Aright”.

Secondly, as you research the scriptures you must know that the work will never cease. The study of God’s Word is always a work in progress that will enrich your life. You will be rewarded beyond your imagination with blessings that God will lay up for you the workman that need not to be ashamed.

Thirdly, the Word is like a diamond that has many facets and you will begin to see more and more of those facets as you come to the Word with your heart open to God and His enlightenment. God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love and of power and of a sound mind. The Word will open itself up to you and God will show you things that will make your heart race. You must be faithful and you must be steadfast only then will God bless you with the great truths of His Word.

Lastly, no matter how enlightened you think you are you do not know all the truth. Many times when I teach the Bible in what I have thought was an exhaustive manner I am shocked to be told by a student some great truth that I totally neglected but which God blessed that student with while he or she was listening. This will bless you more than the act of teaching the Bible itself. The student is enlightened by God with the next level of understanding; it makes me shudder to think how wonderful our God is.

So study the Bible and enjoy all that God has in store for you. God bless you richly.

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

1 Co. 1:21

So, here goes some
“Preaching, for Free”

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Ph. 2:10-11

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Re. 6:4

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

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Re. 6:5

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Lu. 16:13

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Re. 6:8

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Ro. 8:34-35

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Jn. 3:33

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. Re. 6:9

I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. Ec. 3:18

OPHIR: – I include an excerpt from my book The Kelts: Children of the Don as a way of giving the gist of what the Biblical Ophir and the guilds of metal workers named after him may have been up to in the four millennia before Jesus. Whether his guild of workers actually built a temple for David as mentioned in the Bible does not really matter. There is lots of evidence of the international nature of corporate enterprises going back long before Ophir.

They shared knowledge on the oceans and made charts that led to the Hadji Ahmed map that shows the Bering Strait as it was 12,500 years ago. Some of these navigators learned trigonometry and geometry as a natural progression of their travel by the stars. Cults of adepts began to value these trade routes and the knowledge of where the minerals were. There is good reason to believe these things began a very long time before the Last Ice Age. The sidereal charts we saw MacDari quote McCarthy and the Professor about, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Australian man, the Biblical city of Ophir that Solomon traded with and lots of reasons exist to believe was a trading and mining enterprise in the Americas (Ophir=O’Fir and the obvious Keltic connection if you have read this book). The 16th century monk Montanus drew maps with two Ophirs in the Americas and one was at the mouth of the Amazon. Then there are the white-skinned Easter Island people and the Tiki Gods with the Red Hair who legend says had mined places in South America.

The forming of metals into knives by the Mayans first started with meteorites, and probably this is true allover the world. The site of Rhoda near Meteor Crater in Arizona with excellent archaeological proof was ridiculed but should be revisited now that there are many other supposedly anomalous ‘finds’. Forget the records of the Mayans and Incas that talk about white skinned bearded (they don’t have facial hair) and red haired people; we don’t need to rely on mere legends of truthful people anymore. Certainly we know ‘his’-story of the Euro-centric white men and Empire builders, is propaganda. So, I say meteorites and their uses and spiritual value led to very early man becoming acquisitive and a traveler, as well as a miner. How early? VERY! Perhaps as long ago as 1.5 million years ago when he noticed the meteorite metal on the tip of his throwing spear worked better than his straightened mammoth tusk spear.

Proceeding from the incentive to trade and the travel it required, leads to the ‘cell diffusion’ adepthoods like the de Danaan and the ‘Red-Headed League of Megalith Builders’. There is archaeological evidence for all these things and they all fit with the pre-’his’-story of the Golden Age of Peace and Harmony that was on Malta and in all nature worship domains such as Gimbutas asserts. The secrets of the trade routes and the maps not made available until after the Templars were back-stabbed by the French King in the early 1300s makes for a lot of substantial proof and motive. These Portolan maps made trade around Europe easier for all people and put the final nail in the coffin of feudalism. That does not mean there aren’t intrigues and counter-counter plots by those who kept the secret for many millenia. The attunements with the Earth Energy Grid that archaeology is proving with the Nazca lines and Don Robins has shown with the megaliths are part of the mapping enterprise as well.

The Dardannae or de Danaan of Troy or Wilusia and the Hittite archives join interesting little pieces of the puzzles but are not the overall game of greed and corporate (emporia of the Phoenicians) that made the Keltic clans break apart from within, as the aristocrats began to enjoy each other more than their fellow man. The Druids were the last bastion of the old shamanic nature worshippers that are at the root of Taoism and Yoga. The actual knowledge MacDari speaks to is more important than his historical assertions. This esoteric knowledge was secret and still remains in the hands of a few until this day. Some of it is irretrievably lost but little of it is ever considered by academics who talk to the media.

The Exegesists or hermeneuts of the Catholic Encyclopedia deserve a glance. You can find it in the library or on the World Wide Web; when you read it you will see a complex web of knowledge and expertises coordinate to present an appearance of things known that are often disproven. Re-structuring the lies is a job that will require more effort and reach fewer people to the same extent in the coming years. Hopefully honesty will erupt in a ground-swell of individuals who say ‘let’s look at what we do and where we are going’ the ethics and laws are not appropriate to forge the kind of world we want at all. Are we willing to give up our sacred cows in pursuit of ecumenical brotherhood? Let’s start by ending gender inequality and starting to teach soulful sensuality so responsible people will again be the ‘norm’. Ignorance IS the ‘Original Sin’ and we all must accept our ignorance as an opportunity for growth, rather than cling to each other in cults of denial!

“The Tuatha de Danaan lived in the northern isles of the world, learning lore and magic and Druidism and wizardry and cunning, until they surpassed the sages of the arts of heathendom. There were four cities in which they learned lore and science and diabolic arts, to wit Falias and Gorias, Murias and Findias {Or Finias and possible Phineas Pharsa of legend’s home.}. Out of Falias was brought the Stone of Fal which was in Tara {In Eire, thus Falias was a provincial capitol city and Tara the spiritual center of the whole Keltic clandom.}. It used to roar under every king that would take the realm of Ireland. Out of Gorias was brought the Spear that Lug had. No battle was ever won against it or him who held it in his hand. Out of Findias was brought the Sword of Nuada. When it was drawn from its deadly sheath, no one ever escaped from it, and it was irresistible. Out of Murias was brought the Dagda’s Cauldron. No company ever went from it unthankful. Four wizards (there were) in those four cities. Morfesa was in Falias: Estas was in Gorias: Uscias was in Findias: Semitas {Is this the root of Semite?} was in Murias. Those are the four poets of whom the Tuatha De learnt lore and science.”

From the commentaries on Keltic lore that I have read and the references to the tales of Ossian commentators; I think there is a great deal of time up to the current and corrupt presentation. Corrupted by years of telling tales and Christian re-writes of the same tales. It therefore seems likely I would gain far less from the tales of Ossian than I might hope for. The archaeological and historic record serves me better I hope. The truth is all I can do is make guesses. The phrase ‘out of _____was brought’ suggested they were often on the move. The glacial effects were definitely a part of that for the period from 13,000 B.C. till 4,000 B.C. and where these four cities were at any particular time would make the telling of legends absolutely difficult to say for sure if that were the only factor. There is no question that major centers of influence can be identified and we can look to certain technologies and social factors or names and languages to help our guesswork. Memphis was a clearly important religious center with a focus on the magical sciences.

Malta was more of an ashram or training center and might also have had the top secret ‘chaos scientists’ who worked on developing technologies like the Pyramid/Earth Energy Grid. There are those like Boorstein who claim Crete was Atlantis all on its own. The Iberias may have been associated in a corporate trading enterprise that included the Americas and Basque as well as the post flood region of the Black Sea. The region between the Black and Caspian Sea was known as Iberia and had a capitol or main city of the same name. It is now called Tiflis. The Iliad says the Amazons came from this region. The Amazons were women fighters of the Kelts as I see it. At the same time Iberia was developing the Tagus to Massalia (current Marseilles) region with Phocaean and Milesian peoples who are remnants of the Royal House of Mallia on Crete from 2000BC. when the anti-egalitarian movement really took off. In the Bible we read about the ships of Tarshis that traveled between these two Iberias, and their outposts including Anatolian archaeological digs.

I don’t know of anyone who really liked taking tests in school if you did there is something seriously wrong with you. It just seemed as though some breezed through while people like myself always struggled. Life is not fair!!!! Some call it tests anxiety. I think I just concentrated on trying not to get the answer wrong instead of relaxing and allowing my brain to find the answer in my head. Most times the next day I could do better because of no pressure. Second golf shots are like that too! So when I received my test scores back all I noticed were the red marks and disappointments instead of how many right answers I had out of one hundred. Having said that, perfect test scores were few and far between for most of us I think.

Life at times gives us impromptu tests that at the time we think we have fail in our minds. In other words, when all said and done our nature is to focus on what we did wrong and our imperfections and not the opportunity for growth that is in front of us. Life is not about perfect papers it’s about learning from the red marks. Yet, in most experiences lessons can be learned from those moments.

Jesus was a great teacher. In the bible there are thirty-nine parables in which Jesus teaches us through life lessons. Jesus teaches this way for two reasons: one, he brings in life experiences that we all can relate to at different times in our lives. Two, each parable has a much larger meaning about life that may apply in numerous ways to your own life for years to come. One thing to point out is in each parable it is not so much the beginning of the story but the end that is most important. The accent falls on the last person that is mentioned, the last deed, or the last saying. The so-called end stress in the parable is a deliberate design in its composition. Jesus in each parable in different ways teaches us that life is not about seeing how perfect one can become, but becoming better people in the midst of our imperfections.

There maybe times when we disappoint ourselves or especially others that we love, but remember none of us are perfect only Jesus is. Yet it is in those disappointments that the lessons learned can draw us closer to Christ and those we love. It’s the great teachers in life that teach us how to fish, rather than counting the ones that get away.

Remember this week, life, you, others may disappoint or you may experience Joy and happiness, which ever it is in those times count it lessons to be learned.

Mark 1.17 “And Jesus said unto them, come ye after me and I will make you fishers of men.”

One night as I was sleeping, I had an intensely clear dream. I had been meditating on the above scripture before I went to sleep. In my dream, I was driving down a straight and narrow dirt road. I passed by a stagnant pond and there with cane fishing poles were a couple of preachers I knew. The water they were fishing in was scum covered and dirty looking, and the hole they were fishing in was small.

I shouted to them from the road, “Come on! Go with me, I’m going to a really big lake to fish!” They replied, “NO! We are content fishing here; we catch one once in awhile.”

As I drove down that narrow road, I observed small stagnant ponds all along the way. People were standing on the banks trying to catch fish. At each pond site, I would stop and ask the fishermen to come with me. The answer was always the same, “NO, we’re content here. It’s easy fishing, the banks of the pond are clean and even though the water is stagnant, we still catch one once in awhile.”

I drove on down the road until it ended. In front of me was an old farm house surrounded by a weather beaten picket fence. An elderly man and woman were sitting on the front porch in their rocking chairs. When they saw me drive up, they got up and walked down the short pathway to the picket fence gate. The elderly gentleman spoke and said, “Sir, you can’t go any further until you wrestle with that big old fish that is down in the well.” I could clearly see the well. It was an old open style well built of bricks about five feet high and six feet in diameter. It had an iron grate covering the top. I went to the back of my truck, pulled out a heavy fishing line, and a gigantic hook. On the hook I placed a huge piece of meat. As I began to lower the bait in the well, I felt the Spirit of the LORD come on me. I also felt the presence of great evil. Well, I hooked that big old rascal and commenced the battle to bring him out of the well. The whole time I was fighting this fish, I was saying, “Help me Jesus, help me Jesus.” I finally brought the great fish out of the water and tied off my line.

The ancient man and woman were watching the entire battle. When it was over, the man spoke and said, “Okay, you can go on behind the house now.” I went behind the house, and O my what a sight! The clearest, bluest water (even better than Hawaii where I lived for three years) I had ever laid my eyes on. The beach was covered with clean white sand and there waiting for me was a top of the line fishing boat. As I drove off slowly in that boat, big, beautiful fish started jumping in the boat until it was about to sink! I then woke from my sleep and asked the LORD the meaning of this dream.

The LORD responded to me and said, “The road is the straight and narrow path that leadeth to life. Few find it. The stagnant ponds and fishermen represent the churches of today. They are content with their own little place and don’t want to venture out to the unknown. The old fish in the well represents Satan who you will have to wrestle with if you want to catch much fish. The lake full of fish represents the world. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. Because you fought with and prevailed over Satan, you will be one of my expert fishermen and I will provide the way and open the doors.”

As the LORD spoke these words of wisdom and encouragement to me, I was greatly encouraged and strengthened for the work He had appointed me to do.

Luke 5, verses 6,7 “And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.”

I had this dream in late 1987. Since that time, the LORD has used me greatly to “catch much fish”. I have had many battles with the enemy, yet the LORD has always strengthened me and provided what I needed.

“From Holiness to Pentecost”

In the postscript of his book entitled, A Survey of 20th-Century Revival Movements in North America, Richard M. Riss makes the following comments:

A resurgence of Evangelical Christianity has been coming about in America since the late 1940s…If the current resurgence continues, it will provide a milieu conducive to the incidence of an awakening of far greater statistical significance and considerably more extensive societal impact than the earlier revivals of this century…

Should God raise up sufficient intercessors for revival, there is a real possibility that a momentous ‘Third Great Awakening,’ not only in North America but throughout all Christendom, will explode on the modern scene.

Many are alluding to a spiritual awakening in Christendom. I, for one, agree with Mr. Riss and believe that ministers who are calling for a spiritual awakening, especially in America, are right on with their prophetic insight.

I believe that the coming spiritual awakening in America alone will surpass the impact of the American first and second Great Awakening(s) of the 18th, 19th, and 20th century revivals. If God can intervene in the affairs of man as He has done throughout recorded history, then He will have no problem bringing about the greatest revival in the history of man. I believe this.

In continuing my series entitled, “An Awakening is Coming,” I’d like to conclude the series by documenting some of the important features of the American Holiness movement that began in the middle 19th century, up to the time when it separated from the Pentecostal movement.

One of the important features about the American Holiness movement was the foundation it served for the revivals of the 20th century. It was John Wesley’s teaching on “entire sanctification” that started the American Holiness movement. In simple, Wesley’s doctrine spoke of a divine work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, subsequent to salvation. From this teaching came many seekers searching for a greater depth to their salvation experience. Because they came seeking, the Lord blessed them with much more.

It was during this time that ministries of Divine Healing came into existence. Also at this time Phoebe Palmer, the wife of a prominent physician in New York and a leading teacher in the Holiness movement, labeled the doctrine of ‘entire sanctification’ as the ‘Baptism of the Holy Ghost.’ It seems the Holiness movement was okay with the new Holy Spirit moniker as well as embracing other spin-off movements, which included healing ministries and Pentecostal “experiences,” but when the issue of “tongues” was recognized by Pentecostals as the initial evidence of being Baptized in the Holy Ghost, the Holiness movement went its own way.

The American Holiness movement that started in the middle 1800s continues to this day but has fractured into various denominations that cover the globe.

Another important feature of the American Holiness movement was the number of major revivals that branched from its teachings and continued into the 20th century. For example, the Healing revivals of the 1940s were rooted in the Holiness movement. The 1940s healing revivals brought to prominence men like Evangelists Oral Roberts and TL Osborn. Also the decade spawned other movements like the Latter Rain movement and Salvation crusades such as the Billy Graham Crusades. It seems that God linked revival movements together, sustaining the second Great Awakening in America to the end of the 20th century.

If you remember, the second Great Awakening started in the midnight hour of the 1700s, and continued through the 19th and 20th century with pocket revivals, the Holiness movement, and many other works of grace right up to the end of the 20th century.

The 1960s and 1970s were the years of the Charismatic Renewal, Jesus Movement, and the Word of Faith Movement. Dr. Bill Hamon said recently, while being interviewed on TBN, that the decade of the 1950s was the decade of the Evangelist. The decade of the 60s was the restoration of the Pastor. The decade of the 70s was the restoration of the Teacher. The decade of the 80s belonged to the Prophets and the 1990s the Apostle. Now that the Five-fold ministry has been restored to its place in the Body, the new millennium will see the ministry of the Saints. The laity will be equipped to do the work of ministry.

I believe that God is raising up a united front of believers (no names) and bypassing solo ministers who try to go at it alone, for the “Third Great Awakening.” This unified front is the laity who will minister in large teams as one, for one purpose.

I believe they are being positioned now by the Holy Spirit. The baton is being passed to a new generation of people who will walk under great anointing to preach the gospel in the “Third Great Awakening.”

Could the third Great Awakening come in the beginning of the new millennium? It certainly could. The spiritual environment of America is ripe for it. In the past, Awakenings came about as the result of widespread spiritual complacency in the nation. It appeared that God brought these great movements of the past to ready men’s hearts for coming national tragedies (Revolutionary war, War of 1812, Civil War, WWI, WWII, and etc.). The 20th century was a century of evil and blood shed. It has been said that it was the century of the devil. There were two world wars, many smaller wars, ethnic cleanings in European nations, death and property destruction by race riots in America, an attempt to exterminate an entire race of people by Hitler, and much, much more evil.

No doubt about it, the century we just left was a nightmare. But one must remember that God was not asleep during the 20th century. He raised up a standard against the satanic onslaught of the 20th century. During this time, God brought forth some of the greatest movements in the history of the church. For example, Evan Roberts in the early 1900s cried out for revival in his country of Wales, and God heard him and sent a worldwide explosion. The revival that turned Wales upside down spread to America and was the forerunner to the Azusa outpouring in Los Angeles, California. From the Azusa outpouring, the revival spilled over America and to the uttermost with the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, another feature of the American Holiness movement, as it jumped into the 20th century, was the unique opposition it faced. What am I referring to? I’m referring to an unusual opposition, which can be identified as a particular Western mindset that had been developing since the Renaissance. For example, from the fourth century onward, Western culture as a whole held to a Christian concept that regarded natural disaster, such as earthquakes or floods, as judgments from God. Such calamities were considered a call to all people everywhere to repent from evil and turn to faith in God.

Somewhere along the line a predominate number of people began to see natural disasters as accidental or irrelevant to God’s purposes. From this mindset came the belief that God was no longer Sovereign. He no longer controlled the events of history. Also, miracles didn’t happen any more, and it was foolish to believe such nonsense. When revivals brokeout in the 20th century, they were opposed by this mindset. Because of the prevalence of this attitude, the 20th century would not see the restoration of cities and economies like it did in the First Great Awakening.

The Bible says that we are to believe Him for who He isAlmighty God. Because He is Almighty, He can do anything but fail. As long as we have a heart to believe that God is still the same miracle working God that He has always been, we will experience the miraculous in our lives; however, if we think God has lost control and is weaker than He was during Pentecost, we will miss many supernatural events that are soon coming.

There are two secular movementsone of the 18th and one of the 19th century that stripped God of His Sovereignty. In his book that he co-authored with Peter Bocchino, Unshakable
Foundations: Contemporary Answers to Crucial Questions about the Christian Faith, Norman Geisler talks about the secularization at work during the 19th century.

One powerful force that opposed Christianity and is still affecting lives today was a philosophy propounded by a German atheist, Friedrich Nietzche. He’s the intellectual that coined the phrase, “God is dead and we have killed him.” In simple, Nietzche asserted that the myth of God’s existence, which was once widely believed, died, and that the myth of objective values died with him.

He believed that there was no meaning to life, except the meaning man gave to it. Hitler was influenced by this philosophy. Another secular force at work during this time came about in the middle of the 19th century. In 1859 Charles Darwin published his book on macroevolution, On the Origin of Species. People were ripe for the godless theories it stated. They readily embraced Darwin’s teaching and man was lowered to the level of animals.

One final feature of the Holiness movement, was its split from the Pentecostals because of their belief that “tongues” was the initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. When the Azusa outpouring began, people came from around the world to receive the gift of “tongues,” and then carry the gift back to their part of the world.

Typical of what happens when great moves of God break out, the explosion happens first, and then men try to explain the explosion by doctrines later. When one of Charles Parham’s Bible students, Agnes Ozman, received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and began speaking in tongues, Parham made an assignment for his students. He wanted them to study the Bible, and list every occurrence of Holy Spirit Baptisms in the New Testament. They were then instructed to list the one thing that manifested with it.

Overwhelmingly the students reported “tongues” to be the initial evidence of the Holy Spirit Baptism. Later when the Azusa outpouring was going strong in Los Angeles, California, the Reverend William Seymour, a Holiness preacher who led the early Azusa outpouring, came into conflict over the doctrine of sanctification with William Durham. Durham said that sanctification was a progressive work of holiness being worked out in the believer by the Holy Spirit. He said that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues was not the work of sanctification but an experience subsequent to salvation.

Sanctification was a work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer, which continued the entire lifetime of the believer. Seymour, being a true Holiness preacher who had received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues, disagreed. He said that salvation was first, then entire sanctification, and then the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues, last. They never resolved the issue and eventually went separate ways.

The issue has never been settled. The Holiness churches that teach “entire sanctification” still believe that sanctification is a Divine work of the Spirit to seal the Salvation experience with power. They are opposed to “tongues” being the sole or initial evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

And, then again, there is a group of sincere Christians that believe the Reformed doctrine of Martin Luther. They believe sanctification is a progressive work of the Spirit, continuing throughout the lifetime of the saint. They do not teach “entire sanctification” nor the Pentecostal experience of being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.

However, some groups in the Reformed tradition believe there is first Salvation, then the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and then progressively sanctification of a believer is worked out a believer “walks in the spirit and not the flesh.” Nevertheless, no matter how you pronounce potato, it’s still a potato. If one is hungry for God and seeks a deeper walk, one will find a more intimate, a more satisfying experience of Him if they keep searching for Him.

So, I’ve given you some of the important features of the Holiness movement from its inception in the middle 19th century to its split from the Pentecostal movement of the 20th century. One important point to remember from this document is God’s desire to use simple prayers and insignificant people who simply have a burning and passion for God, to reach their community and nations. The Bible warns us against sneering at small beginnings. No matter how big the move, it started with a seed. Once again, I believe that God is stirring up revival winds. The wind of His Spirit is getting ready to fan the flames, until revival is burning out of control. Are you ready?

It’s real easy to look at the physical world around us and
not see swords being used. To even find one it is often
necessary to go to a museum. So what am I talking about?

The Word of God
Do you know that the Word of God is the sword of the
spirit? We are told in Ephesians 6:17 that it really is.
This truth is more powerful than we realize…

Trickery
We find this verse in the section that explains that we
are to put on the whole armor of God. He tells us to
do this so that we are able to stand against the wiles
of the devil.

The word “wiles” means ‘trickery’. We wear the whole
armor of God to protect ourselves from the trickery of
the devil.

Spoken Word
Jeremiah 1:12 tells us that God is alert as He looks out
for His word to do as His Word says. He doesn’t sleep
or avoid it in any way. He is alert and anxious to do
what He said He would do.

The Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit.
We are told things all day long that may or may not be
true. We need to overlook this and realize that God
never lies (Titus 1:2) and He speaks the truth.

Take Heed
It’s really no wonder why God told us in Mark 4:24 to
take heed what we hear. The voices we hear might
not be led by God.

We need to only listen to God’s Word. There are no
gifts that are greater in this world. There are only two
choices. There is life or death.

God’s Word is what brings life to us…

Did you use your sword of the spirit today?
