Jeremiah 13:15 [ The LORD's Warning ] Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud, for the LORD has spoken.
A warning is defined as “to give notice, advice, or intimation to (a person, group, etc.) of danger, impending evil, possible harm, or anything else unfavorable” also “to urge or advise to be careful; caution” and “to notify, advise, or inform”.
When bad weather is approaching, we receive warnings from meteorologists to be careful, be alert, stay inside or drive carefully and overall to be safe. When driving recklessly, we might be pulled over by a police officer and issued a warning, or worse, a ticket. Children who are exhibiting bad behavior might receive a warning from a parent or guardian to straighten up and be good…or else.
Many of Father’s prophets of old declared warnings to mankind, kings and noblemen. Men like Noah, Moses, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel just to name a few. They were instructed by Father to issue these warnings because mankind was (and still is) so out of synch with our Creator and judgment was to come upon them.
We are shown examples in the scriptures of those who heeded the warnings. Here are just a few:
Genesis 6:9 God Warns Noah Deuteronomy 9:1 Warning against Self-Righteousness Deuteronomy 31:24 Moses Warns the People Psalm 95:1 Worship and Warning Proverbs 6:20 Warning against Adultery Jeremiah 7:12 Shiloh As a Warning Jeremiah 13:15 The LORD’s Warning Jeremiah 21:8 A Warning for the People Jeremiah 27:12 Warning to Zedekiah Hosea 4:15 Warnings for Israel and Judah Malachi 2:1 Warning to Priests Malachi 4:4 A Final Warning Mark 9:42 Warnings from Jesus Mark 12:38 Warning against the Scribes Luke 17:1 Warnings from Jesus Luke 20:45 Warning against the Scribes Acts 21:1 Warnings on the Journey to Jerusalem Romans 16:17 Warning against Divisive People 1 Corinthians 10:1 Warnings from Israel’s Past 1 Corinthians 10:14 Warning against Idolatry 2 Corinthians 13:1 Final Warnings and Exhortations 2 Thessalonians 3:6 Warning against Irresponsible Behavior Hebrews 2:1 Warning against Neglect Hebrews 3:7 Warning against Unbelief Hebrews 6:1 Warning against Regression Hebrews 10:23 Warning against Willful Sin Hebrews 11:7 Warning against Rejecting God’s Grace James 5:1 Warning to the Rich 1 John 2:15 A Warning about the World
Warnings from Father Yahweh are given out of Love for Her creation. They are warnings to help us to become better people, to show love one another and grow spiritually and into righteousness as we learn to follow our Creator’s commands. They are issued for our own good and not as a form of control, but so that we might one day be worthy of existence in Christ our Savior’s Kingdom and have eternal life.
There is nothing new under the sun and we are given examples of what happened before, because it will happen again. Our Creator is a fair and righteous God in that She has instructed Christ’s Ministers of the Light of Life Ministry to yet again issue a warning to mankind of impending judgment, because it is not Her will that all should perish.
In addition to the scriptures, these warnings also come as signs that are witnessed by all. They come in dreams, visions, and unexplainable occurrences in the skies and on the earth and even in the weather. We declare that we are currently experiencing the Tribulation, which includes natural disasters and financial and economic collapse and we give notice that Father’s faithful will be raptured from this planet before the final judgment of Armageddon takes place in the very near future.
We also issue a warning in another way in that we notify, advise and inform mankind on exactly what is required for Salvation and that it is not the ritualistic dogmas that false religion should have you believe, but instead a declaration and acceptance of Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior and a good heart condition.
John 3:36 “The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”
For those who do not believe: Hebrews 3:7-8 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested Me, tried [Me], and saw My works for 40 years. Therefore I was provoked with this generation and said, “They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known My ways.” So I swore in My anger, “They will not enter My rest.”
For those who do believe, hold fast to your faith: Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit, tasted God's good word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.
And finally we give warning to all those who refuse to accept the truth, in that lives will be extinguished at the hands of Father’s Holy Angels at Armageddon.
Nehemiah 9:30 You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit warned them through Your prophets, but they would not listen. Therefore, You handed them over to the surrounding peoples.
Just as the rumbling in the distance and flashes of light in the horizon announce the oncoming presence of a thunderstorm, we urge you to prepare for what is ahead. Think long and hard and search your hearts because there is little time left. Father can only warn for so long before the last grain of sand falls to the bottom of the hourglass.
Everyone has the free will choice in the decision and are able to choose one way or the other and the truth will not be forced upon you. You will either accept or reject the truth that has been ministered to you and since everyone should come to understand that actions result in consequences, we have delivered the truth of these warnings to you.
I learned today that a friend of mine died in a motorcycle accident. He was 25 years old and his name was Johnny. He was tall, and blond with sparkling blue eyes and a cherubic face. He was a lover of all things vintage, particularly from the 30’s and 40’s and days away from receiving his college degree. He was just the sort of guy who made friends everywhere he went.
When I received the news, my memories immediately returned to the many nights of hanging out together and many social functions with friends, but most of all, his smile. We experienced many happy times together and my first reaction was a mixture of shock and disbelief. It's unexpectedness actually nearly took my breath away, and then the sadness set in and I began to cry.
Because I’d since moved many miles away I didn’t expect to ever see him again and it’d been nearly 2 years since I’d seen him or heard his voice, but his memory was very alive in my mind and my sadness was for any physical pain he may have endured and his friends and family who are going through so much emotional pain in coping with his unexpected departure from this earthly existence. I know that he will be very missed by all those who knew and loved him.
While the news of Johnny’s death was shocking because he was so young and it was so unexpected, in a way there is also a sense of relief. I know that this may sound odd to some, but I truly believe that Johnny is one of the lucky ones who has been blessed because he will receive an opportunity that much of mankind soon will not.
The opportunity is this: To learn and accept the truth.
Many people wonder what happens when you die. What happens is that once you pass over, Holy Ghosts (humans who have crossed over and are members of Father’s Holy Family) greet and accompany the person (normally, unless they’ve committed a vile crime) through the Azmon barrier of angels that have Satan and his evil doers blockaded from the upper planes of Heaven.
Once they reach the Edge of the Light, they are taken to the Edge of Light House of Worship that is located just outside the Baptismal Light. There, they are greeted by loved ones that have previously crossed over in past times.
From there, they will either enter the Light, or they will go to the Great Hall of Records first. They are nurtured and cared for and counseled and they are given the opportunity to accept the truth and choose to abide by Father Yahweh’s sovereign laws. It depends on the situation, but eventually, they enter the Baptismal Light and are crossed over; admitted to the Heavenly Realm that all Holy Ghosts originate from.
The reason for the sense of relief is the above opportunity that I have just described. This opportunity will not occur for many, many people who currently live on earth because we are living in the End Times, experiencing the Tribulation and once Father’s faithful are Raptured, (and there may also be a second Rapture, but that remains to be seen) those left behind will experience Armageddon first hand. Up until that time, those who pass over will be given the opportunity to learn and accept the truth both in the Physical Realm and the Spiritual Realm after passing over, but there will come a day in which that opportunity will no longer exist for this generation. And because we do not know when this day will come, only that it is coming soon, mankind can not longer afford to straddle the fence of belief and disbelief, acceptance or non acceptance. Their decision and acceptance of truth cannot wait until once they've passed. It must be made now.
In speaking with a fellow minister recently, I expressed the anxiety that I sometimes feel due to the knowledge we have been given and the internal struggle I sometimes fight in balancing the zeal and urgency that I feel so strongly for sharing the truth. Urgent because there is not much time left and because the message is a two part message – Salvation for those accepting Christ – Judgment for those that do not. Zeal because of the seriousness of the situation and the fact that we are serving Father and Christ in delivering this message. While I know that arms cannot be twisted, I also continue to learn with every new experience that there must be balance and that each individual must be given the opportunity to accept the truth on their own accord…or not. The rest is in Father’s capable hands.
When it comes to Johnny, I know where he is. I know what he’s experiencing and who's care he is under. While the end of his earthly life was indeed tragically unexpected and unforeseen, he’s begun a new life…one that will last for an eternity. And he will also be spared from that which much of mankind will soon encounter and for this I am so very thankful.
Be good Johnny. You’ll be missed, but for now I'll just say "see ya soon" and consider it only a trip that you’ve gone ahead of us to experience. Father willing we will meet again soon in Christ’s Kingdom. I look forward to seeing your smile.
Matthew 7:14 How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it.
It doesn’t always take vile behavior to stray off the Narrow Path that leads to salvation and eternal life. More often than not, it is the subtle and yet equally deadly thoughts and behaviors that ensnare. Just as it can be the snake in the grass that isn’t seen until it’s already struck; these things that work against us and draw our focus outward rather than inward and where Father resides are the same things that rob us of the promise of life.
Proverbs 24:10 If you do nothing in a difficult time, your strength is limited.
These are difficult times. And in these difficult times, these things, these deadly things, are not seen for what they are. They are widely accepted amongst society and rampant in that they grow like weeds that choke the very life out of everything that is holy, righteous and beautiful.
They encourage us to find love in places where there is none. To fear the very things that make us stronger and more spiritually whole. To look to others for acceptance and approval. To seek truth where there is only darkness.
When you consider these things, like lust, loose conduct, unrestrained behavior, love of money, of power, greed…is it any wonder that this world and the people in it have gone so astray? You may think that you’re okay with Father and that Father is okay with you, but are you…? And is She…? How can you be sure? Where is your focus? Is it on matters of the heart that Father deems as important or those things of this world that are deemed important by those in it and of it?
Are these things truly as harmless as society tells us they are? Or like a surging wave, do they push us further and further into the ocean and farther and farther from the One who created us? Is it easier to be complacent with how things are, or to rebel? This evil world dulls our senses and complete awareness of right and wrong because it promotes complacency and all that is easy, easier and easiest; from fast food and “Easy Buttons” to the slow and steady progression and removal of our rights and liberties.
It is easier to agree than it is to disagree even though in your heart you know that it’s wrong, and it is certainly easier to just go with the flow of what society deems as being acceptable than it is to take a good look at who and what you are deep down inside and within your heart.
The choice is yours and yours alone to make.
It is a very hard thing to look in the mirror and see yourself for the sinful and stumbling imperfect human being that you are. These days, if we look in the mirror and don’t like what we see, we are able pay someone to surgically modify it. But how many of us are looking inward and modifying the things we find within our hearts that need to be? Are we afraid? Or are we simply complacent because to look within and change that which isn’t aligned with what Father would want of us is too hard?
John 6:60-66 Therefore, when many of His disciples heard this, they said, "This teaching is hard! Who can accept it?"
Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, asked them, "Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you were to observe the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? 63 The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn't help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some among you who don't believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who would not believe and the one who would betray Him.) 65 He said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father."
66 From that moment many of His disciples turned back and no longer accompanied Him. 67 Therefore Jesus said to the Twelve "You don't want to go away too, do you?"
Because there is no “Easy Button” in being a footstep follower of Christ, we live in a time in which many have turned back. But it is not Father’s will that Her children should perish. Let Father be your inspiration to look inward, rather than outward, and find that which is missing and correct that which is lacking. It might be difficult at first, but be not afraid because it can be done.
Deuteronomy 30:11 [ Choose Life ] "This command that I give you today is certainly not too difficult or beyond your reach.
Frustration, frustration, it’s setting in! The worst of it all is about to begin. They hate, how they hate what they can't see! The end, and return to what was meant to be. Their ears, their ears, must tickle so much! Belief in the lies but not seeing them as such. Truth sits and stares; shining so brightly! But it’s not seen by most, not even slightly.
Frustration, frustration, oh why can’t they see? See what seems so plain to you and to me? Fear disguised as hope that things will get better, Meanwhile it continues to get wetter and wetter. There goes one drop, now two, three and four, Before long it'll become a complete downpour. Mountains will crumble, crumble and shake People will wonder how much they can take.
Frustration, frustration, oh why didn’t they see? That which we knew would come to be? We delivered the message, we warned and we called, But instead of hearing, into their holes they crawled. Now fear disguised as anger is directed our way, Like children who lost at the game they played, They throw down their pieces and stomp their feet. But they’re standing on sand and not on concrete.
Frustration, frustration, only it’s twofold now. For them and for us in not knowing how, to reach them before opportune time has passed. Before it’s too late and the final move is cast. Oddly enough I feel better in getting this out. By turning the knob and just letting it spout. Calmer now, slowly I… breathe out…breathe in… It’s in Father’s hands, just as it always has been.
