Somewhere in Between 09/01/2009
 On the outside looking in wondering what it might have been if Adam and Eve had chosen love for You rather than what set creation askew I can count on one hand those who’d know what the following words might mean “one foot here and one foot there existing somewhere in between” Not of this world not yet of the next can leave a person quite perplexed On the outside looking in Your truth has opened my eyes this jewel has lost its luster I watch its own demise One foot here and one foot there and a passage that I’ve yet to earn not of this world, not of the next for my sake You help me not to yearn Your work is not yet completed and it’s Your timing not mine I am Your humble servant who's faith says it will all be fine Inside and outside around and about above and beyond there’s no single doubt a plan is in place to restore this fine gem and whether I’m here or there or existing somewhere in between there will be a day when we convene I await Your son, my dear Father And the day all evil will be destroyed for those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy Jesus Wept 08/26/2009
 John 11:35 “Jesus Wept.” is widely known as one of the shortest verses in the Bible. For me, it is also one of the most touching. It leaps from the page, grips my heart and gives it a good squeeze each time I read it. It’s interesting how this very short scripture can and does evoke so much within your heart as well as your thoughts when you truly sit down and ponder what it means and what it is meant to show us about this man who became our Savior. I can’t sit down and watch the Passion of the Christ without crying through nearly the entire movie. And I often think of Christ Jesus, and who he was as a man; of his humanity, and how this soul, that was created by Father Yahweh before all others as The Word, Michael the Archangel, became man and lived for 33 years in the flesh, on this earth and among all living things that he bi-created. I wonder what his thoughts were, and what he was thinking and feeling deep down inside as he cried in the John 11 account, and if the tears that he shed for his dear friend Lazarus whom he loved and the suffering of Lazarus’ family were also perhaps symbolic of the tears that he might shed for those of mankind who suffer and are lost. There are many accounts on the human emotions that Christ Jesus felt. Anger, frustration, sadness, fear, love, pity, compassion, even a need for companionship… and somehow, reading these accounts and pondering how he must have felt deep down inside provides a glimpse of the man he was and draws us closer to him in the realization that he felt the same things that we do, and faced the same temptations, and he warriored through it all and was victorious over the same powers of darkness that attempted to keep him from fulfilling his mission. Our Savior was human, in every way that we are human and with all the human emotions that make us unique creations created in Father’s image. Emotions are something though, that transcends the veil and extends into even the unseen spiritual realm. Yes, they are human, but they are also spiritual. Emotions are something that we all share with Christ Jesus, Father Yahweh, the Holy Angels and Ghosts and mankind; and even with portions of the animal kingdom. Emotions are a commonality that binds us together and that we can all relate to and in thinking about how Jesus wept, makes it easier to relate to him as well. While I look upon our Savior with admiration and awe, I also look upon him as an amazing and spiritual human being, who perfectly did each day what we struggle to do. He freely expressed as well as mastered his own emotions, listened intently to his Father and obediently followed Yahweh’s commands and in the process brought glory to Her in so many ways, including becoming our Savior as well as a shining example for us all. Fear of the LORD is a Fountain of Life 08/18/2009
 Fear - Noun 1. A distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the treat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. 2. A specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling. 3. Concern or anxiety; solicitude. 4. Reverential awe, esp. toward God. 5. That which causes a feeling of being afraid; that of which a person is afraid. In these End Times, those who believe in God seem to have two opposing views of our heavenly Father. Either She is a God of only love, or, She is a God with no compassion at all for Her creation. Both sets of people have not come to a full understanding of Father’s true nature. Where those speak of Father as being a God without compassion because of ordering executions upon mankind, they have not come to fear or know Father. She is a God to be feared. She is not idle and She does not work without a plan to salvage Her creation from the clutches of rebellion. In my service to Father these past years, I have come to a greater understanding of the One that I serve. However, do I serve Her out of fear of annihilation? No. I serve Her out of love, just as all of Father’s Holy Family does. Job 28:28 He said to mankind, "Look! The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to turn from evil is understanding." Do I also fear Her? Yes, I do. Because I have also come to an understanding of Her true nature and have a reverential awe for Her. I fully understand and accept that as our Creator, She is to be honored and obeyed. And, I understand what the end result is for being willfully disobedient. Death. Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His instructions have good insight. His praise endures forever. Actor and comedian Bill Cosby has been quoted as saying, “My father established our relationship when I was seven years old. He looked at me and said, "You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you." Now our heavenly Father has never said that, but She did bring us into this world and She can take us out of it. And, I know that it would make a difference to Her, as Her wish is for all Her children to live for eternity and that not a single life be lost. But it is also Her wish that we should all be obedient to Her and follow Her laws, just as She follows Her own laws. In order to understand why a judgment must come, we simply must see the world with all its evils, problems, imbalances, worries and anxieties is SO VERY FAR OFF from Her original plan! We must see and understand that no matter how good a person we may think we are, we are all sinners and come to an acceptance and understanding as to why we must discard our old personalities to become in line with that which She expects of us – not to expect Her to accept us as we are. We must also see, accept and agree as to why it is necessary for all evil to be removed from Her creation so that it may be cleansed and Her true plan for Her creation may unfold and come into fruition. Her plan is to SALVAGE creation, and this is why Her son and our Savior Christ Jesus died for us. Isaiah 33:6 There will be times of security for you— a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion's treasure. Colossians 2:20 "If you died with Christ to the elemental forces of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:" To be with Christ and Father, your old personality that reflects Satan's elemental body of action must also be killed off. In that, you must discard the old personality of living for Satan's way that presently exists, and look to Father's Way. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, fools despise wisdom and instruction. Those who do not fear Father are fools, because they despise both wisdom and instruction. They expect our glorious Creator to bend the rules She established and She will never do that, because She is a God of supreme integrity. And why should She? Are we so intelligent? If you look around you will see that we are not…as this world crumbles around us in a destruction that we at least partially are responsible for. We must look to Father’s Way, not Satan’s, and not our own, in order to take hold of the promise of eternal life. Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. I know that for me, in the beginning of my journey of understanding, the fear of the LORD could sometimes be debilitating. More than anything I wanted, and still want, to please Her and to be a child that She can delight in. I wanted and still want, with all my heart, to serve Her in full obedience to Her laws. But that was just in the very beginning of my journey, when my eyes were first being opened to Truth and to Father’s true nature. Over time, I was humbled, and while the fear remained, it was also coupled with understanding and then wisdom as She continued to share Her knowledge with me and I came to know Her more. Over time, the fear seemed to balance out as I gained a different and more complete view and understanding of the One who Created us. Our loving Mother and Father, Yahweh. While I fear Her, I also love Her and as I grow to understand Her more, I also grow to love Her more. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is wisdom's instruction, and humility comes before honor. Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him — a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength, a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. Fear of Father Yahweh is to know that She holds the power over eternal life or eternal death. We should all endeavor to understand Father's mind-set. Eternal life depends on our understanding of Father and what She expects from all of us. Deuteronomy 5:29 "If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commands, so that they and their children will prosper forever." FEAR is the Key to understanding Father. Without fear laws are broken and lives are lost. Harmony burns in a blazing fire. Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death. Standing at the Crossroads 08/11/2009
 Proverbs 8:1-4 Doesn't Wisdom call out? Doesn't Understanding make her voice heard? 2 At the heights overlooking the road, at the crossroads, she takes her stand. 3 Beside the gates at the entry to the city, at the main entrance, she cries out: 4 "People, I call out to you; my cry is to mankind. When at the Crossroads Listen for the call Salvation for one Salvation for all. Resist sin’s beckon Look straight ahead Walk in the footsteps That our Savior tread. The road of destruction Grows wider each day Her children are placed Right in harm’s way. They sound the message In an effort to guide Her children home Past the road that is wide. To reach the main road We must travel this path And accept the truth To escape the wrath. Once past the juncture We will be at the gates Admittance is waiting And Eternity waits. Relying On Your Own Understanding 07/29/2009
 Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.” I cannot tell you the number of times that this verse has resonated within me – Father speaking to my heart - and how useful it has become in my daily walk with Yahweh and Christ. I also cannot tell you how easy it is to rely on your own understanding if you are not very careful and aware and seeking Father’s guidance on every question that comes to mind and at every crossroads you may encounter. So what does it mean to rely on your own understanding, and why can doing so be so detrimental? What might have happened to Noah and his family if he’d responded that there was no way the entire earth would flood, simply because he relied on his own limited understanding and chose to believe it would not happen because he could not understand how it could happen? How might the Israelites been led from slavery to the Egyptians, if Moses had denied what he’d seen and heard at the burning bush, simply because he did not understand how a bush could be consumed by fire and not burn? And what might have come of Mary if she’d denied the existence of the angel that delivered the message to her that she would bear the son of God, simply because she could not wrap her mind around the existence angels and their parts in Yahweh’s plan? I bring up these supernatural Biblical experiences because it’s all intertwined with scripture and truth, as you can see from the examples given of Noah, Moses and Mary. Thankfully, none of these people whom Father Yahweh chose to serve Her relied on their own understanding. And because they did not, they successfully carried out the roles that Father asked them to play in bringing Her will into fruition. And not only that, they came to know Father Yahweh in ways that they probably never imagined they would. They experienced the amazing, the miraculous, and what they might have once believed to be impossible made possible. Supernatural occurrences continue even today, just as they did in Biblical times. And there are many researchers and experts out there who reject the possible because they believe it to be impossible. One type of skeptic in particular follows the “Occam’s Razor” theory which states that: “Of several acceptable explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest is preferable, provided that it takes all circumstances into account.” (Wikipedia) They discount the truth of the existence of spirits, ghosts and angels and even God Herself simply because they cannot capture them in a jar and study it and because the simplest explanation for them is that if they can’t explain its existence, they discount it and rely on their own understanding instead. Someone else might have their own ideas and theories and be so wrapped up in them that there is no room for allowing the real truth in. They have done a lot of study on a particular subject and for their own reasons wish to be an authority on that subject – therefore, when a different theory or even truth is presented to them they discount it because it does not match up with what they already know even if what they already know is in fact a falsehood. So rather than taking another look at the evidence presented to them and opening their minds to different possibilities, they remain stagnant and uninterested and sometimes even quite defensive because they might be proven wrong and prefer instead to rely on their own understanding. A lot of time has passed since Christ Jesus walked the earth and in this time a lot has been done to muddy the waters of his teachings – of truth. Some of it has been encouraged by spirit realm inhabitants who fight on the opposing side of the spiritual war in misleading mankind, but mankind has also had a hand in encouraging the falsehoods that many believe to be truth when it comes to scriptural teachings and truth. In today’s day and age, in End Times, we see many who are encouraging others to believe that there probably is no God in major advertising campaigns around the world. We see those who prefer to believe that there are many roads to God because committing to just one road seems too “narrow minded”. And we also see those who consider themselves theologians and experts on the scriptures and particularly in these End Times, study the scriptures and prophecy looking for the signs that will tell them when the end will come when in fact what they were taught about the scriptures to begin with was a lie and this lie becomes their foundation. This is particularly dangerous because the foundation is faulty and because they spend so much time furthering their studies without first seeking Father’s guidance and waiting for an answer. They move forward and they essentially become blinded to truth, while all the while thinking their eyes have been opened. All of these above examples are ways of relying on your own understanding. It is a blinding of the mind. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if, in fact, our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Regarding them: the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Relying on your own understanding not only limits you, but it also places limitations on Yahweh who is in fact and in truth, capable of anything and of all things. Placing limitations on yourself and on Yahweh places limitations on your own spiritual growth and on coming to a fuller and more complete understanding of the truth. It keeps you shackled to this world and the lies and misconceptions that reside within it. Particularly in this day and age and with the Tribulation upon us, this can be particularly detrimental in that it can come at the cost of your very eternal life. To cling to manmade religious ideals such as water baptism and the trinity as requirements for salvation is yet another example of relying on your own understanding. The following is from the Kingdom Message of Salvation, which is the message our ministry has been charged with delivering to mankind: “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. All people are judged by what is really in their hearts.” It is alright that we seek knowledge, but we must seek the knowledge, understanding and wisdom that come from Father Yahweh alone so that we are not deceived as She is the source of all these things. The good news is that Father Yahweh is always there to guide us, if only we seek Her guidance first. If at any point we encounter a view that is new or different from what we have come to believe, it is via Her Holy Spirit that we will be able to sift through this information and determine what is truth and what is not. Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is supreme—so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.” A Prayer of Compassion 07/29/2009
 Heavenly Father, Recently we were instructed to inform mankind to prepare for the coming Rapture as time marches on and this dying world crumbles on its foundations. As prophecy unfolds before our very eyes in places near and far all over the world, I do not see a people who are aware; I see a people who are blinded and deceived. My prayer is a prayer of compassion for them, Father, because I am fearful for their lives. You know far better than I Father, as You see and know all, and admittedly I am but one small and unimportant person with a very limited, if not myopic, view of the world, but from where I stand and what I can see, it seems to me that while they may see the warnings that You so diligently provide, they do not recognize them for what they are. We, myself and my fellow ministers and many others of the extended flock, have been so incredibly blessed by You. Not a day goes by in which I don’t give thanks for all that You have done and remember how not long ago, I too was lost in darkness...and searching. It is a testament to Your glory Father and it serves to give me hope, because if it can happen to me it can happen to others, regardless of who they are or the circumstances they are in. You have instructed us brilliantly on many things and You have opened our eyes to Truth. Patiently You have taken our hands and led us through and amazing journey of enlightenment in which many of Your mysteries were revealed, explained and understood. And while I’m thankful for those who have been found, I pray that still more eyes are opened to the Truth, so that when they do see and recognize Your Truth, they will humble themselves and give You glory. I pray for those who walk in darkness by choice who have not gone beyond Adamic sin as well as those who find themselves there unwittingly as pawns in the Spiritual War. I pray that the brilliance of Your light reach them through the darkness and that when it does, they turn towards Your light so that they may have a chance at salvation through Your son Christ Jesus and eternal life. We are not worthy, or deserving of Your blessings. We have not fully appreciated this jewel of creation that we have all had a hand in destroying. So many of us wander through life in a daze, sometimes just struggling to make it hour by hour, minute by minute as the Tribulation rages around us. Some of us are in denial due to fear, and cannot see through the haze of smoke that wafts up through the destruction as it rages on. Many do not understand why, a loving God would allow such horrible things to happen. But I do Father, I do, and I pray that they will too. I pray for them Father, because I know that there’s not much time left. You have placed this urgency and compassion in my heart Father, because it was not there before You called me into Your service. And now it is what urges me to open my mouth and minister and to write and to pray and meditate on Your Word. I pray that You have compassion on them Father, as you have had compassion on me. Help me to know how to best serve them Father, and never let compassion leave my heart. My life, and all our lives are in Your hands Father. And I pray that those who have ears will listen, and those who have eyes will see. I cherish Your Way and each new day that You give in which I’m able to serve You and grow closer to You via the knowledge, understanding and wisdom that You share via Your Holy Spirit. And I thank You from the bottom of my heart for these things as well as Your patience, forgiveness, the protection via Your Holy Angels, guidance via Your Holy Ghosts, and for all the things big and small that you so generously provice. I pray in the name of Your Son Christ Jesus, our loving Savior and vindicator of righteous rule. May Your will be done in all things now and forevermore. Amen, Father Yahweh. Prepare 07/19/2009
 Ephesians 5:5-7 The Integrity of Yahweh 07/06/2009
 integrity It's Time to Choose 06/28/2009
 I work in the newspaper industry, which as you probably already know is one of many industries that are suffering greatly due to the Tribulation and financial collapse of our monetary system. On Monday, we were asked to attend a meeting conducted by the CEO’s of the company that owns our newspaper. We were presented with information and a rundown of the financial not-so-well-being of our company overall, and a comment made not once, but twice, by a CEO which paraphrased went a little like this: “The newspaper industry has endured many changes over hundreds of years and if you cannot find it within yourself to have a positive attitude in a time change, we don’t need you.” The Physical and Spiritual are One 06/19/2009
 Take a look at the photo above. It says BELIEVE. Actually, it says BELIEVE twice. Yet, one BELIEVE is an actual structure with mass and the other BELIEVE is a mere shadow created by the sun. Does the one with actual structure and mass that you can pick up and hold exist? Is it real? Does the shadow which can be captured only by the human eye or in a photograph also exist? Is it real? Is one more real than the other or do they both exist in unison and in the same time and place yet in different forms? | AuthorRegina, Light of Life Minister ArchivesNovember 2009 CategoriesAll |
