WHY US CURRENCY IS BEING USED AS A PROPHETIC TOOL

Click Image To Enlarge
Over the past 10 years, I have seen a good deal of art work done with dollar bill manipulations to show things like the Twin Towers being bombed, Hoover Dam exploding, and other dire proposed or past supposed "False Flag" events that have often been touted as Illuminati-based and prophetic, and I think it's ridiculous - especially because it is not a divinely sanctioned prophetic venue.

Besides that, if you spend enough time folding the bills or rolling them a certain way, you can see just about anything you want in them. But it has to be manipulated to be seen, and it's not clear. In addition, even the regular symbols used on the bills are maligned. We are being taught to see things that are not there, like the hand of the Illuminati in the All Seeing Eye atop the Pyramid, which I have proven has a godly meaning. Sadly, however, it was viciously re-appropriated by Occult practitioners to malign it.

This is also true of the Bald Eagle holding the Arrows and the Olive Branch. I have exhaustively shown this symbol's connection to the godly messages written into the heavens by the finger of God at Creation. In fact, it was God's Creation of the Gospel in the Stars to instruct His angels of His Will that led to the development of Sacred Astronomy and the Gospel in the Stars. Many of the sages and prophets of past ages understood the Star Gospel, and incorporated it into their understanding of who God is, and what He wants from us.

That is why heavenly symbols such as stars and constellations show up in Bible Prophecy constantly, especially in the Book of Revelation. Examples include the Woman Clothed With The Sun in Revelation Chapter 12, which is a description of the Sun in Virgo, and the Beast From The Sea and the Beast From The Earth in Revelation Chapter 13, which are signified by the constellations Cetus the Sea Monster, Hydra the Many Headed Sea Serpent, Draco the Dragon and Taurus the Bull.

Could this be why there has been a concerted effort over the past decade to corrupt and malign these godly symbols? Is this part of the wicked agenda to re-write American history and demonize America by her enemies that I have repeatedly written about? Here are links to illustrations that I've posted here on my blog and on Facebook to show the godly significance of these symbols that are being maligned:

http://pillarofenoch.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-true-meaning-of-us-great-seal-taken.html

In these illustrations, of which I've shown one of the most important ones below, I've tied symbols on the US Great Seal, both sides of which are shown on the One Dollar Bill, to several important constellations and nebulae in the Gospel in the Stars. Though someone might view my conclusions as conjecture, they're not. There is a clear tie between them based on the symbolism being shown that the Holy Spirit has shown me, and that those who are born again should be able to see also.

Modification of an Original Illustration taken from the book:
"The Language of God in Prophecy" By Helena Lehman
The above illustration clearly shows the connection of the US Great Seal to the Gospel in the Stars. So, in my opinion, it's not prophecy to manipulate a dollar bill in order to see images that are NOT there to conform to a spurious belief, or to promote one's Anti-American agenda. It's deceptive subterfuge, and pure fantasy created by an over-active imagination. No one would see anything other than what is obviously printed on the bills unless someone suggested it. It's the power of suggestion, like a hypnotist's trick, and not reality.

Since so many of these folding manipulations of the images printed onto US One Dollar Bills and linear and geometric connections of the writing upon them are pure conjecture, don't be fooled by these Magician's Tricks! Focus on the actual symbols being shown, and use God's Word and Sacred Astronomy to figure out what they mean using your discernment. As you do, ask God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit to reveal what the future holds for you as you read and study Biblical Prophecies and the Gospel in the Stars, and keep looking UP, because Yahshua is coming for His Bride and the Wise Virgins soon! :-)

Beyond the power of suggestion, those who hate the USA and its godly symbols have spent countless hours writing false testimonies connecting almost all the symbols associated with America with the occult and satanism. But I'm not relying on occult practitioners or the so-called "experts" that also claim to be believers to get my information. The reason for this is that I have seen many articles and books that connect the USA to satanism, the occult, Babylon and the Beast before, and I know how convincing they can be to the uninitiated, who do not know how twisted all of this information is,

Sadly, so many of these Anti-American sites, books and articles are filled with Satanic lies and half-truths that they are deceiving many. But I am not allowing their lies to deceive me, having often prayed against deception, and having prayed for discernment. That is why I am looking at the truths that the Holy Spirit has revealed to me in the Gospel in the Stars, which put these symbols in their proper perspective as creations of the one true God of love.

That is also why I do not believe the LIES of the liberal, USA-hating historical revisionists and occult practitioners that HATE GOD. Why should I, since I know that they have flooded academia for the past 150 years with antichristian fabrications, spreading their syncretist religion of hate, and turning every good symbol that the educated believers in the past used to honor God to evil ends.

If you want to believe that the majority of the founding fathers were evil liars working for Satan, that is your prerogative. However, there is far more evidence pointing to the godly and Christian character of the majority of the 50 or so founding fathers, most of whom had ZERO connection to Freemasonry, referred to God and prayed to Him frequently in public, and actually served as ministers in their respective Church denominations.

I have prayerfully and carefully looked at the US Great Seal from every possible angle, and every time, God's Spirit showed me to look past the lies of the occultists and satanists out there trying to deceive uneducated, naive believers into having the wrong conclusions. Instead, God showed me to look at the basic truths behind Sacred Astronomy and the Star Gospel that many of the founding fathers with their classical university educations were familiar with. What I show in my books gives a glimpse of what every American knew as the truth 50 years ago because it was hinted at, or plainly stated in so many widely available history books of that past age.

Over time, all of those old history books that had the truth in them have gone out of print and fallen into obscurity, and many of them have sadly been destroyed. Now, all that is left is patently anti-God and Anti-Christian in nature, so there is no shortage of information painting the founding fathers of America, and most Christian symbols as deceptive symbols of the occult, which is a lie from the pit of Hell.

I wrote an article about this that every believer should read if they haven't already. Here is the title and link to it, and I highly recommend reading it:

THE TRUE MEANING OF THE US GREAT SEAL TAKEN FROM GOD’S WORD IN THE STARS

Click Image To Enlarge
I don’t need to rely on men’s fabricated histories to find truth. Yahweh shows the true meaning of the Great Seal of the United States in the record of the Gospel in the Stars - and the ORIGINAL Intent of the Founding Fathers of the USA is hidden there. The illustration shown here is one of the proofs of this that I created for use in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy”, which is available for purchase as a paperback, and as a digital download from my Pillar of Enoch Ministry Web Site or from Amazon.com, where it is available on Kindle.

Regardless of what men and women who wish to destroy the United States may say, and whatever fraudulent or fabricated Masonic documents they may point to, the Witness of the Stars is God’s record of Truth, and it is undeniable and IRREFUTABLE! I dare anyone to prove God’s Star Gospel wrong using facts from the Bible, because I have already written thousands of pages showing how the Gospel in the Stars can be found throughout the Bible, especially in the symbolism of Bible Prophecy. I have also proven that there are many symbols in the stars and constellations that are tied DIRECTLY to the United States of America as a nation, and that point to the fact that it was truly founded as “One Nation Under God”, meaning the True God Yahweh Elohim and His Son Yahshua, and NOT Lucifer, as some erroneously claim!

As I recently said in another article: “There is a body of evidence that contradicts the secular (i.e. ungodly) sources that many conspiracy theorists are drawing from, and my Pillar of Enoch Ministry has uncovered much of it! The trouble is, few seem willing to take me seriously. Nonetheless, my research has shown that is it is highly likely that the purpose of the use of a Pyramid, All-Seeing Eye, Eagle, and other iconography on the Great Seal of the USA could have originally been meant for good, as the above graphic partly shows.”

To understand the godly meaning of the US Great Seal better, I have created a 20-page PDF book excerpt to show the truth of the meaning of the US Great Seal. Below is a direct link to it. Please note that you will need the free software called Adobe Acrobat Reader or another PDF reading program to open and read the following file. When clicked on, the file will open in a new window in newer browsers, but needs to be downloaded to your PC desktop in older browsers and opened with Adobe Reader:

WAS BISHOP TONY PALMER MURDERED DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO SEE BORN AGAIN CATHOLICS?

A Supposition by Helena Lehman

Click on Image to Enlarge
In January of 2014, the married Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer gave a speech to a group of Church leaders at Kenneth Copeland's Eagle Mountain International Church near Fort Worth, Texas, where a recorded message from Pope Francis was also aired. Before discussing the gist of his message, let me fill you in on who Tony Palmer was before his untimely death on July 20th, 2014.

Bishop Palmer was an ordained bishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a break-away alliance of charismatic Anglican-Episcopal churches. Bishop Palmer was also the Director of The Ark Community, an international interdenominational Convergent Church online community. Finally, and most importantly, Palmer was also a member of the Roman Catholic Ecumenical Delegation for Christian Unity and Reconciliation. In other words, Palmer officially supported the Catholic Church's Ecumenical Movement, which has a sinister, satanic motive behind it that is NOT of God.

Tony's speech at Kenneth Copeland's Eagle Mountain Church was recorded and posted at You Tube here:

Pope Francis Sends Video Message to 
Kenneth Copeland - Lets Unite 

This speech was loaded with information about what Tony Palmer foresees as the future of the Church, with Roman Catholics and Protestants united as one body under the Pope. During his talk, Tony made it clear that he is very much aware and appreciative of the power of the Holy Spirit in the redemption of believers, which is what the Charismatic movement in the Catholic and old-school Protestant Churches sought to teach as an essential ingredient of our faith in Christ that has often been sorely missing over the millennia.

However, Tony also made it clear that he feels doctrinal differences aren't important as long as believers are born again, acknowledging the Spirit of God in each other as we are allowed to express our love for God in different ways. Therefore, his argument for unity is based on the idea of being united by the power of the Holy Spirit in those who are born again.

The trouble with this argument is that our Father God is not a God of confusion. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So the idea that the Holy Spirit would choose to lead untold thousands of denominations in often diametrically opposing paths makes no sense. So the problem with this march toward unity is that not everyone agrees on what constitutes being born again. Some denominations think that believing that Jesus or Yahshua died for our sins and offers us forgiveness under Grace is all that is needed to procure the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

But they fail to realize that - when we are born again by the indwelling Holy Spirit, which marks us as redeemed by the Blood of Yahshua - we are transformed within at that moment, and we suddenly have acute spiritual discernment that allows us to sense when we are sinning and when we are pleasing God, even without a working knowledge of the written Word of God in the Bible. When we are born again, it's as if we know the Law even though we don't because the Spirit of God reminds us what God's Word says when we need to know it in order to live righteously and flee from sin!

This sort of inner knowledge is impossible, however, until we SURRENDER our lives to Yahshua and ask Him to help us change, and to be more like Him in our ability to love ourselves and others. We cannot go on sinning as we did prior to our conversion if we ever hope to be born again! In fact, if our repentance is genuine, our desire to change will overwhelm our natural propensity to sin so that we can be born again. So unless we truly repent, wish to change from our wicked ways, and seek God's forgiveness and mercy through Christ, we will never be born again, and we will face judgment!

This is why all moves to unite the many Protestant Churches with the Vatican are doomed to failure. Their definitions or DOCTRINES are different because of the failure of the Catholic Church and many Protestant Churches to understand the true nature of salvation, and how it can only be achieved via our belief in and COMPLETE surrender of our lives and talents and finances to Christ before we can receive the gift of His indwelling Spirit.

That is why God was NOT happy when, on June 24th, 2014, a private luncheon was held at the Vatican in Rome for a delegation of US Evangelical Leaders to meet with Pope Francis to discuss uniting the Catholic and Protestant Churches. This meeting was organized by the Bishop Tony Palmer, whose desire for unity led him to become an outspoken proponent of its supposed virtues. Here is a news article about it:

TRUNEWS Exclusive: Pope Francis 
Meets Evangelical Delegation

Now, beyond this move toward Ecumenism that is satanically inspired and will lead to the formation of the One World Religion of the Whore of Babylon, or the Vatican, I want to point something out that many may have missed concerning Tony Palmer's interest in it. When Tony Palmer spoke to Kenneth Copeland's congregation, I noted that he clearly said that he wanted to merge these opposing churches together so that the Catholics would COME TO FAITH. Personally, I think Tony Palmer was taken out of the picture when the Pope and the Vatican realized what Tony meant by this. In other words, Tony Palmer may not have died in a motorcycle accident on July 20th, 2014, but may have been secretly murdered by the Jesuits on orders from Pope Francis.

In support of this assumption, Tony said in his January 2014 speech that his Italian wife - who is an ex Catholic - eventually wanted to help him in his ecumenical efforts because Tony's goal was to get the Catholics to learn what it means to be born again. Although this is a laudable goal, I think this wish is what signed Tony's death warrant. Tony's mistake is that he thought Pope Francis wanted the same thing. But that is absolutely NOT the case.

As a Jesuit, Pope Francis wants the Roman Catholic Church to be the SOLE authority on all matters of Christian doctrine and practice, and that includes enforcing the Jesuit mandate to keep the Papacy and his outwardly "celibate" but inwardly whorish clergy in power. Pope Francis may pretend that he is Charismatic, but he inwardly hates the Holy Spirit, and wants the Catholics to remain unsaved and loyal to the Church, or he would be out of a job!

As a Jesuit, what Pope Francis wants is for all the other Christian Churches to be under his control so that he can systematically destroy the true faith in Christ that leads to salvation! Though outwardly pious and seemingly humble, Pope Francis is a Luciferian at heart and an Imperialist that wants the Vatican in Rome to remain supreme in its rebellion against Christ and His Kingdom. Never doubt that!

So this is what I think happened to Tony Palmer. I think he was murdered by the Jesuits, and has become the Vatican's latest victim because he was an unwitting opponent of achieving that goal. As a result, he had to be silenced, and so he has become a martyr toward the goal of a unity of faiths that will have the opposite affect that he wanted it to have.

Sadly, instead of saving many Catholics as Tony dreamed to do, his efforts will imperil the salvation of millions of new disciples coming to the faith who will suddenly find true Christian doctrine nearly impossible to find. It will then be as the Prophet Amos foretold:

~*~ Amos 8:11 ~*~
“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yahweh Elohim,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of Yahweh.”

Click on Image to Enlarge 
The dreaded days of spiritual famine that the Prophet Amos foresaw are rapidly approaching, and will be in full force after the Rapture, which will be very soon! So NOW is the time to repent and to surrender your Life to Yahshua so that you can become truly born again. Leave your life of sin behind, cling to the Cross and Blood of Christ, be baptized with water and the Spirit, and move forward into a new life dedicated to serving God with the remaining time you have left on this Earth.

As we await the Rapture, may you all be blessed in your service to God through Yahshua! In the meantime, as an Ex-Catholic, I can tell you much more about the Roman Catholic Church and its heretical practices that mock and deny the true doctrines surrounding biblical Christianity as practiced by the first apostles and disciples in the Church. A good, detailed book in print on the subject is Dave Hunt's "A Woman Rides The Beast"which is available at Amazon.com, as well as my own book at Amazon: "The Language of God in Humanity", which does much to demolish the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. My book can be purchased at my Ministry web site, and you can learn more about it using the link below:

THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN - TRUE ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH


FIVE POINT CHECKLIST TO TELL IF YOU 
BELONG TO THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN!

1) You Have An Almost Illogical Hatred of the tiny Nation of Israel, the Jews and/or anything Jewish

2) You Have Support For and Sympathy Toward the Palestinians, who vehemently HATE Israel and America

3) You Have A Vile View of Christianity as a PAGAN FALSE RELIGION that Needs to be Wiped Out

4) You Have An Active and HOSTILE Desire to make it Illegal to Practice Traditional Christianity or Celebrate its Holidays

5) You Have A Misogynistic View of Women as Subservient (or slaves) to Men, meant only to bear and raise children, and to humbly serve their husbands and do their bidding without compliant.

If two or more of these points apply to you, then it's a fairly good guess that you are a member of the Synagogue of Satan that will one day be severely chastised and judged. Furthermore, you will then be made to Worship at the Feet of the born-again Believers in the Church of Philadelphia or Brotherly Love that you so ignorantly persecuted and tried to kill.

As an avid supporter of the nation of Israel’s right to exist and protect itself against all aggressors, and as a Messianic Jew by faith that is familiar with the Hebrew Roots Movement but not a true part of it by choice due to its heretical aspects, the following teaching about the meaning of the enigmatic term “Synagogue of Satan” has been very hard for me to complete. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit called me to undertake this task, and even though it is not going to be a popular teaching, especially among fellow Messianics and supporters of Israel like myself, it must be undertaken to instruct the True Church of born-again believers in Yahshua, and to help believers to understand Bible Prophecy and End Time events better.

The term “Synagogue of Satan” appears twice in the Book of Revelation - once in Revelation Chapter 2, verses 9 and 10, and once in Revelation, Chapter 3, verse 9 - in relation to the two godliest Churches of the Seven that Yahshua addresses in His letters to the Seven Churches. In fact, this group that claims to be Jewish is seen in the context of persecuting two of the spiritually strongest branches within the True Church, which consists of all born-again Gentile believers in Yahshua. This is a very important distinction that helps to clarify who these satanically-inspired people are, and who they are targeting.

In Chapter 2, it is the Church of Smyrna, or the Persecuted Church that is being afflicted by those who say they are Jews but are not, and who are identified as being in the Synagogue of Satan. Those in the Church of Smyrna are materially poor believers who are rich in the Spirit of God, but unable or unwilling to fight their persecutors due to Yahshua’s strong admonitions against hate and violence.  As a result, some of them are being imprisoned and killed by their unholy Jewish or would-be Jewish enemies.

These would-be Jews claim to be God's true Chosen People and blood descendants of Abraham, although they are not all Jewish. Some are, in fact, Arabic and Persian, and they worship a different god named Allah. Some of them are also avowed Christians, although they have bastardized and watered down the Gospel so much as to render it useless, or they claim to have replaced the Jews as God's Chosen People, which is partly a lie. This is because both Messianic Jews and the Gentiles that love and follow Yahshua or Jesus, and that love the Jews and one another are God's Chosen People.

Although Muslims claim Abraham as their blood ancestor and spiritual father, just as the Jews do, their claim contradicts the Bible's teaching, which is that the spiritual blessings of Abraham were passed down to his son Isaac and not Ishmael, and to his grandson Jacob and not Esau. Furthermore, although true Christians are the spiritual children of Abraham by adoption, those who fall into the category of "Synagogue of Satan" are working at cross-purposes to the True Church, and also think they have replaced the Jews as Israel.

In Chapter 3, the Church of Philadelphia or Brotherly Love is identified as a materially poor but spiritually rich Church that is also under attack from the Synagogue of Satan. However, they have a little more religious and political strength than those in the Church of Smyrna, so they can manage to fight off many of the attacks of their persecutors in the Synagogue of Satan. In fact, Yahshua promises the Church of Philadelphia that He will subdue the Synagogue of Satan when He comes again, and He will force these misguided Gentile Christians, Jews, Muslim Arabs and Persians that have been working at cross-purposes to the True Church to bow down at the feet of the faithful born-again believers that love Israel. They will bow down to show their utmost respect and repentance.

It is the Church of Philadelphia that is also the only Church that is identified with the Bride of Christ by being connected to the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven “as a bride adorned for her husband” (See Rev. 3:12 and Rev. 21:2). It is also the only Church of the Seven that is given the blessed promise of deliverance from the “Hour of Trial” which is a reference to the Great Tribulation, or Time of Jacob’s Trouble (See Rev. 3:10). 

As a Messianic, I am quite familiar with the Jewish people and their religion, and where they have the most power and influence. Like it or not, this happens to be in the United States, and in the nation of Israel. So it is these Jews that have the most ability to persecute Gentile believers in Yahshua. In fact, there is a whole group of so-called Messianic Synagogues that have sprouted up in America and elsewhere, along with many Mosques. Some of these Synagogues and Mosques contain people that don’t love their Christian brethren, but treat them badly and think of them disdainfully.

These Mosques and false Messianic Synagogues spell trouble for America and Israel because the Mosques contain descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael that sometimes hate the descendants of Abraham's son Isaac. Furthermore, Messianic Synagogues and regular Synagogues contain some extremely legalistic or “Torah observant” Jews that - along with their Muslim brothers - may frown on, and openly bash all Christian religious customs and traditions, routinely call all Christians pagans and blasphemers, deny the full deity of Yahshua, and deny the power and purpose of the Holy Spirit. 

So not only do Christians and true Messianics that love their Christian brethren have to put up with the routine abuse leveled against them by the totally unrepentant and wicked Muslims and Jews that own the banks and control our monetary systems, but now they have to deal with the Antichristian Messianic Jews and Muslims that control ever-growing Cult-like communities across the largely Gentile West. Unfortunately, those who hate Christ are open to demonic possession and influence, and demons are none other than the spirits of the Nephilim or alien hybrids that existed in great numbers before Noah's Flood. See my articles linked to at the end of this article to find out more about Spiritual Warfare and Preaching the Gospel to the lost.

At this point, let me offer this warning. Let’s NOT jump to the conclusion that all Jews and Muslims hate Christians and are demonically possessed. This is absolutely NOT true. Most of the Israelis living in Israel do not hate America or Christians, nor do their Jewish counterpart living in the USA and elsewhere. Furthermore, although Terrorists that commit heinous crimes against humanity certainly act as demonically possessed people do, there are still many Muslims and Jews that are not possessed or oppressed, and who actually want to live in peace with their Christian and Non-Christian neighbors.

There are many Jewish and Muslim people of faith that don’t actively try to cause trouble, and they also do their best to love God and their neighbors. It is important to remember that not all Mosques or Synagogues are breeding grounds of hatred toward Christians, and those of other faiths. Like many Christian pastors, there are likely plenty of Imams and Rabbis that avoid discussing religious prophecies and the End Times to keep the peace. Instead, they focus on teaching their congregations how to cope with life's problems using ideas derived from the interpretation of their own set of sacred writings.

Although Synagogues and Mosques do not often promote peace, brotherhood and understanding through community outreaches, or by holding festivals or carnivals to interact with their communities like many Catholic and Christian Churches do, many of them try to do good in their communities. Unfortunately, many Hebrew Roots Proponents and Muslims are also actively proselytizing their own faith and trying to convert nominal or poorly taught Christians with the same clever-sounding but lame arguments that Torah-observant Jews use to make Christianity appear to be paganistic, incorrect, sinful and unwholesome.

This is why my repeated reference to Muslims in regard to the Synagogue of Satan was not an accident, but was made to show that there is another element to the Synagogue of Satan that most miss. This lies in the fact that - as descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael - many Muslims believe that they are the real Chosen People, which makes them would-be Jews in the Synagogue of Satan as well. Yahshua spoke about the nature of these descendants of Abraham that follow the Devil or Satan in the Gospel of John, Chapter 8, where He said:
~*~ John 8:39-44 ~*~ “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father - God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”
According to this Scripture, these rich, Pharisaical Jews and would-be Jews whose spiritual father was the Devil shared the following characteristics, which apply to many Muslims, and many Jews:
1) They claim to be Abraham’s literal descendants, which Jews and Muslims do.

2) They hate Yahshua and seek to kill belief in Him and to destroy His followers. 
3) They are liars who do as their true father the Devil does as the father of lies.
Radical Muslims and Orthodox Jews generally hate anyone who is not of their faith, and see them as evil. They also seek to abuse or destroy them, and think nothing of lying to, and openly taking advantage of them. Since many of the misguided people in Mosques and Synagogues follow the Devil or Satan instead of God, but do not know it, they necessarily form satanically-inspired religious congregations that can be called Synagogues, although many of them are Mosques.

As Yahshua or Jesus said, many Pharisaical Jews (many of whom are extremely rich) have chosen Satan as their spiritual Father. This means that they actually worship Satan because they justify their mistreatment of Christians and anyone of any other faith by their religion, just like Muslims. You can't be following the God of your fathers if that God inspires you to hate your neighbor and misuse them!

Indeed, the Law indicates that the Israelites were to love their neighbors as themselves (Leviticus 19:18), which included all the peaceful descendants of Abraham living around them, and to do no harm to anyone. Instead the Israelites were called to preach the truth about Yahweh's love, mercy and forgiveness (Hosea 6:5-7; Matthew 9:12-14) to their neighbors in love! But as Hosea's prophecy linked to above says, many among God's people have treacherously enforced the letter of the Law without practicing love, mercy and forgiveness!

Sadly, many Jews and Muslims that fit this negative list of criteria for being in the Synagogue of Satan or the Devil now live in secular Socialist states and Democracies that protect their right to spew ever-growing barrages of Antichristian rhetoric against every Christian belief and holiday. As a result, these false Israelites are gaining power and influence among the Jewish and Muslim populations of the world, which aid them in harassing and subjugating true believers. Many of these false Jews among the Middle-Eastern people groups that are descended from Abraham delight in confusing and deceiving those who want to love and follow Yahshua correctly, and they also treat them hatefully.

Despite this abuse, true believers put up with it as best they can while maintaining a spirit of peace, love, joy, kindness and brotherhood toward all people - no matter how hateful they are in return. Just as Yahshua asked, believers are learning to love one another and their enemies as they await Yahshua’s triumphant return. They are patient because they know that Yahshua will finally end the enmity between Jews, Gentiles and Muslims when He comes again. He will also offer salvation to all the surviving people of the East and West that did not go against both Houses of Israel, but have no love for or knowledge of Yahweh the God of Abraham, or the people who are called by His Name.

There are prophecies in Isaiah 19:18-25 and Isaiah 27:12-13 that specifically talk about the believers in Assyria (Persia) and Egypt that will be rescued in the Rapture when Yahshua comes for His Bride. Very soon now, a multitude of truly devoted born-again believers in Yahshua will be resurrected or transformed into an immortal state, and they will be taken up to Heaven in the Rapture. Once there in God’s loving embrace, they will be spared having to live through the worst part of the Great Tribulation,  and will live in the lovely mansions prepared for them in the New Jerusalem, which already exists in Heaven. The believers that will live there before returning to the Earth with Yahshua will be saints from every age, including those taken out of the Great Tribulation. These saints are seen in Heaven in Revelation Chapter 7, verses 9 through 17.

This is fitting, since it is at the opening of the Sixth Seal Judgment in Revelation, Chapter 6 that the Wrath of God will begin to be fully poured out on the whole Earth. So the deliverance of the Wise Virgins and the Bride of Christ must take place just before then, as they are not subject to God’s Wrath (1 Thess. 5:9). Sadly, those who are in the Synagogue of Satan, and those outside of it that hate both Houses of Israel - both Jew and Gentile - will be left behind to suffer God’s Wrath along with many of the unrepentant wicked of all faiths. What a terrible day that will be for those in the world who recognize their plight after it is too late to escape it!

Although born again believers can call on Yahshua, God the Father and the Holy Spirit in prayer to receive deliverance and protection from demonic power, many believers are unaware of their need to engage in Spiritual Warfare through intercessory prayers for themselves and their loved ones. For this reason, I wrote the following article linked to below, which links to several more articles that give good tips on how to wage war against evil, and win:

TO WIN AGAINST SATAN, STOP BEING A
WITCH-HUNTER, AND STRIVE TO BE A GOD-SEEKER!

Please read my article on spiritual warfare if you are suffering persecution. This article details some proven strategies that can offer some degree of hope, protection and deliverance for those who are being spiritually oppressed in this wicked and fallen world. For those who do not know how to wage Spiritual Warfare, however, radical Antichristians are making it harder and harder for true believers in Yahshua to witness to others, and to teach them the Three Gospel Steps that need to be preached for people to enter the Kingdom of God, and to be fully equipped to serve God and His Son Yahshua. To learn more about the three distinct Gospel messages that every evangelist ought to be preaching frequently, read my article about them here:

YAHSHUA IS THE MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT!



Although some Messianic Jews insist that the Covenant cut with Yahshua’s Blood on the Cross at Golgotha was not a New Covenant but a re-establishment or renewal of the previous Covenant that God cut with Moses, there is indeed an Old and a NEW Covenant, and the spirit behind them both is different. While the Old or first Covenant focused on outward behavior or legalism, which was often merciless and cruel, the second or New Covenant focuses on inward emotional and spiritual behavior, and the true Spirit behind the Law, which is mercy and not sacrifice: 
Hosea 6:6 - “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” Matthew 9:13 - “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Matthew 12:7 - “But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.” 
The Apostle Paul explained the difference between the Old and New Covenants in this way: 
2 Corinthians 3:5-8 - “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?” 
But beyond Paul, Yahshua Himself also had something to say about the Covenant that He would cut with His Blood. He did so through a parable, which indicates that there is a difference between the Old and New Covenants, and established the fact that the Old Covenant was not to be resumed in the New: 
Luke 5:36-38 - “Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” 
Yahshua also called the covenant that is cut with His Blood a New Covenant at the Passover meal that He shared with His disciples just before He was arrested and killed: 
Matthew 26:27-29 - “Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” 
Because Yahshua was being put to death at the same time that many lambs were being sacrificed in the Temple to Yahweh for the Passover meal, Yahshua is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. (John 1:29). This is why, when the Apostle Paul recalled the last Passover that Yahshua ate, he indicated that our reenactment of Yahshua’s blessing of the bread and the wine at the end of that meal is a symbol of our entrance into a binding Covenant with God that we will be judged by instead of the Law of Moses: 
1 Corinthians 11:24-26 - “and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” 
This teaching shows that there is indeed a New Covenant in which we are responsible for judging ourselves by Yahshua’s teachings so that we will be found blameless, and will not be judged or fall sick. If that wasn’t enough to prove the existence of a New Covenant cut by Yahshua, the following teaching from the Book of Hebrews actually quotes from the Book of Jeremiah 31:31-35 to prove this point: 
Hebrews 8:6-13 - “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: 
 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah - 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-35) 
 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” 
The Book of Hebrews also goes on to say: 
Hebrews 9:11-15 - “But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” 
To show the supremacy of this New Covenant over the Old, it is sealed with the power of the Holy Spirit, which was first released in power on the Shavuot or Pentecost after Yahshua’s Firstfruits Resurrection. This was the same day that the Old Testament Law began to be delivered to Moses on Mount Sinai, and this started with the Ten Commandments that were carved into stone to show that they were everlasting commandments, which Yahshua beautifully summarized with His Two Commandments.

But the rest of the commandments were not carved into stone to show that they will one day cease to be important, although they are important now in helping us to define what it means to not covet, lie or commit adultery, among other sins. In order to be able to discern what sin is and is not, however, we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit to make us born again. Without it, we cannot truly follow the Law or discern true right from wrong without our memorization of the entire written Law - and even memorizing it does not ensure that we will keep it all.

This is why Yahshua taught that, in order to enter His Covenant, we must be born again with the Holy Spirit. In this way, we have the Word of God written on our hearts by His own Spirit rather than the written testimony that we have to memorize to remember, as the written testimony is passing away:
John 3:1-6 - “There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” 
This is why Yahshua called the Holy Spirit our Helper or Counselor. Not until God’s Spirit indwells us is our one on one relationship with God established: 
John 14:26 - “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” 
Sadly, this direct relationship with God was missing in the Old Covenant because the people were afraid, and preferred to hear from God through Moses rather than face to face (Exodus 20:18-21). Like it was with Moses, our relationship with God is supposed to move past the written Word into a DIRECT DIALOG with God through Yahshua, who sends us His Spirit to make this possible. Once this relationship is established via the Spirit’s entrance into the tabernacle of our hearts, those who are saved and sanctified through their belief in and love for Yahshua will begin to have visions and dreams, and to hear words of knowledge spoken to them directly by the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, the Holy Spirit will always be there to give them the right words to say in every situation as they learn to trust in and rely on Him (Matthew 10:18-20). This is what the Prophet Jeremiah meant when he said: 
Jeremiah 31:33-34 - “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” 
For this reason, until you are baptized with the Holy Spirit and born again through full belief in Yahshua as the Son of God made flesh who dwelt among us (who is coming again in Glory), you have no part in the New Covenant. Instead, you are still bound to the Old, and are subject to its judgment and condemnation without the Grace offered by Yahshua’s Blood to justify you (Acts 13:37-39, Romans 3:20-24), and without the Spirit of God to help sanctify you and seal you for full redemption in the resurrection (See Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 4:30).

STAR OF DAVID - SYMBOL OF ETERNITY WITH GOD!


~*~ Revelation 22:16 ~*~
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you
these things in the churches. I am the Root and the 
Offspring  of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

I am writing you today to show you all that the Star of David does NOT allude to 666, but to God and Eternity! Although some Anti-Semites are trying to convince believers in Yahshua to hate Israel because their flag features the six-pointed star called the Star of David, I can prove that their argument is totally false!

Depictions of the Star of David made by these people who are against Israel and the Jews are showing that this star can arbitrarily be made to signify the number 666, but they are doing so by subterfuge. In truth, their arguments don’t hold water, because I can prove that the Star of David alludes to the numbers 12, 180 and 360, NOT 666!

For example, each triangle in the Star of David is made up of an equilateral triangle that forms three 60 degree angles, and 3 X 60 = 180, not 666. Furthermore, 180 is one half of 360, the number of degrees in a full circle signifying completion and eternity. Also, since there are two main triangles forming the star, the number 360 (or 2 X 180), which alludes to the all-encompassing power of God, is being targeted - not 666! Since these two triangles point upward and downward, they signify the division of day and night, and the division of the year into 6 warmer months and 6 cooler months. These triangles also symbolize all of Heaven connecting to all of the Earth as God interacts with His Creation.

In addition, the intersecting triangles of the Star of David can be broken down into seven shapes, not six! There is the center hexagon, and six equilateral triangles forming the points of the star, and these seven shapes turn the Star of David into a circular Menorah, with the center of the star as the point for the Servant Lamp representing Yahshua. In addition, the Star of David can be dissected into twelve triangles, with six pointing down toward the Earth, and six pointing up toward Heaven. As such, it can represent the entire vault of Heaven and the twelve signs of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac, which in turn represent the Twelve Houses or Tribes of Israel.

In this way, the Star of David signifies the Light of the World Yahshua giving light to all the other lamps,as well as the Glory and Love of God revealed in Heaven, and in the Twelve Tribes of Israel. As part of the Light Yahshua shines each day, each of the lamps or triangles in the star signified by the Star of David represent the eternity all believers will spend in God’s everlasting Kingdom of righteousness and perfection.

Amazingly, in between each outward pointing point of the Star of David signifying the outward world that we live in, there is another angle or point pointing inward signifying the spiritual world where God dwells, which cannot be seen - just as these outer angles are often overlooked, and are not seen. This means that the Star of David does not have 6 points but 12, which can signify the twelve months of the year, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and the Twelve Apostles of Christ.

In fact, due to all these godly number associations, I believe that the Star of David can signify Yahshua, who is called the Root and Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star in Revelation 22:16, as quoted at the beginning of this teaching. In fact, the term “Morning Star” could be a direct reference to the Star of David on the Flag of Israel, which appears on a white background that can represent light, and above a blue line that can signify the Earth’s dawn horizon.

In an article that I wrote many years go, I not only showed the godly aspects of the Jewish Star or Hexagram, but of other symbols frequently seen connected to Judaism and Christianity such as the Cross. For further study of this important issue, I highly recommend reading it. Here is the Title and link to that article: 

The Cross, Fish, Menorah, and Star of David as Divine Symbols

Although there is no denying that the Star of David also has connections to the so-called Seal or Ring of Solomon, which Occultists have been using since Medieval times in their magic rites in an attempt to control demonic forces, Jewish mystics have a different view of this Seal. In fact, they believe this star was symbolically imprinted with the name of Yahweh God, and could be used to protect the bearer from satanic hexes and demonic forces rather than summon or control demons - as the Occultists erroneously try to do. So what was originally created as a talisman against evil has been turned into the exact opposite by Satan, and it is our duty as believers to realize this and correct it rather than run from it and cower in fear.

The truth is that, rather than being a tool to summon and control demons, the Star of David or Seal of Solomon was meant to signify God's protection from the forces of evil. Thus, it is highly likely that the Zionists that created the Israeli Flag before the nation of Israel was established did so with that idea in mind. They were symbolically emblazoning their flag with a symbolic representation of the holy Name of Yahweh God, and asking for His beneficent protection from demonic forces rather than calling on the Devil to protect them.

Please remember this, and do not allow yourself to be fooled by the lies of the enemy in regard to the flag of Israel, which is not emblazoned with an evil symbol at all, but a truly godly one that symbolizes Divine protection. Although it has been misappropriated and misused by the Devil, we have been empowered by Yahshua our Messiah to reclaim that which the Devil has tried to malign and use against us, and re-establish the godly purpose these things were originally intended for.

The Star of David is one such symbol that we need to reclaim for Christ so that it can have no power to hurt us, but can be seen as a blessing instead. So, rather than allowing it to invoke fear or dread, we can look upon the Star of David and see our bright Morning Star Yahshua rising over the horizon when He comes again rather than an object of evil.

I, for one, prefer to live with the light of Yahweh God chasing away fear and misunderstanding, and empowering me rather than promulgating fear and misunderstanding, or robbing me of my God-given power from Yahshua. How about you?

IS GREAT WEALTH A SIGN THAT ONE IS SERVING GOD, OR SATAN?


Like it or not, there is ample evidence that Satan is the temporary ruler of this world, and he gives enormous wealth, pleasure, fame and power to those who serve him! With this in mind, it makes me wonder why there is so little difference between the way a Pop Music Star might live, and many Leaders in the Church today. Despite protestations otherwise, many Preachers seem to live in great luxury, and to care little for the poor and needy that adore and bless them for giving them FALSE pleasure and empty hope. For these wicked people, this Maxim holds true: 
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” ~ 1 Timothy 6:10 
One biblical test of whether or not a wealthy person is a servant of God or Satan can be found in how they acquire and handle their wealth. Satan’s minions are those who acquire their wealth by making false promises to people, or that offer them fleeting pleasure like most Politicians, Pop Stars and Prosperity Teachers! Satan’s minions are also those who do not sell all that they do not need and give the proceeds to the poor and distressed people who love them, but hold onto the majority of their wealth. As Yahshua said in Luke 18:18-23: 
“Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ “

And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”

So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.” ~ Luke 18:18-23 
Based on this Scripture, a wealthy person who is proud, stingy and selfish is likely NOT serving God, but Satan! Despite all the lip service that they may pay to God, this includes many Church Leaders, who live in great luxury while many of those they minister to are suffering without all the basic necessities of life. By wealthy I do NOT mean someone who may own a nice house and a nice car, can afford a nice vacation every now and then, and has enough money saved for emergencies and their retirement. I am talking about people who have thousands, millions or even billions of dollars in assets that they simply do not need to be happy, or to be looked after. 

As alluded to in the Gospel of Luke 18:18-23, the Word of God tells us that those who are blessed with wealth within the Church should be generous with others. Those blessed with great wealth should not be stingy with their excess, but should be ready to give out of their excess to all within their community of believers that might have need. This is also echoed in the Book of Acts: 
“Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” ~ Acts 2:44-45 
In my opinion, this is the greatest and most overlooked teaching in the New Testament! As laid forth in Acts, believers shared everything with one another as there was need, so that no one went without! Yet its message seems to be completely overlooked by the majority of today’s Churches. Indeed, many professing believers within the Church don’t really know or care about the people that they might sit next to every Saturday or Sunday in Church. 

There are, of course, exceptions to this. Even when Church leaders may be deaf to the cries of their needy parishioners, many fellow parishioners are not! They often hear and respond accordingly. In fact, before I had a ministry of my own, other believers extended this sort of generosity to me on several occasions. One time this happened was in 1990, when my husband and I were given several hundred dollars in cash by our church friends when we did not have enough money to pay for rent or to buy food. Another time this happened was in 1994, when we needed to move and could not afford to pay movers or even rent a truck, and many in our Church family gladly helped us without charge. How blessed I felt at these times when our friends in the Church truly exemplified the teachings of Yahshua toward us!

This has also happened very recently when I have suffered from a lack of funds that were needed to pay for the basic necessities of live that help me to retain a home base in order to keep my ministry alive. Several of my brethren in Yahshua have come forward with financial gifts repeatedly to help me when I have asked for it, and I am truly grateful for their continual help, prayers and love! These people have shown me that there truly are believers in the Church today who have embraced all of Yahshua’s teachings, and do their best to live by them.

Sadly though, in almost every case where I have had need and found help among my brethren, Church Leaders have NOT responded, but only my friends. But even friends within a congregation can fail to minister to the needs of those around them at times. Another example from my past illustrates this point:

For a time when I was younger and a new believer, I found myself trying to reconcile my new found faith in God with the pain of my past. I was trying to deal with my negative emotions and personality traits that were a result of being raised in a completely codependent environment by cruel alcoholic parents and siblings, and I found myself reaching out to my new church family at home-group meetings. But many of my new friends in the Church had no idea how to deal with the huge amount of pain that I had experienced. 

As a result, many of them brushed it off with platitudes like “That’s all in the past now, and you shouldn’t dwell on it.” or “You are a new creation in Christ, and the past can no longer affect you, so why are you letting it?” Some of them also referred me to the Church counseling office, and told me not to share these hurtful experiences or ask for prayer at my home group because it was “disrupting” the meetings. There were no offers to intercede with prayer or private counseling and mentoring, and no sermons about how to deal with loss or shame - just ostracism and more pain.

This is why I eventually turned to some leaders in my Church to find the emotional help and support I needed. Fortuitously, the Church that I attended at the time ran a professional counseling therapy clinic. However, I initially could not utilize it, as a one hour session cost $65 to $85 an hour even back then (this was between 1993 and 1994), and my husband and I were living below the poverty level at the time. But because I wasn’t able to find emotional healing or intercessory prayer in the home groups I attended, I finally went into their office in an act of desperation and asked if there was some way they could help me anyway. To my surprise, they did not turn me away as I had expected, but gave me some forms to fill out, and said I could submit them to see if they would give me therapy sessions for less. 

They did finally agree to see me for $35 a session, which was still beyond what we could pay. I was happy about this, but soon learned that the counseling sessions themselves left much to be desired. They consisted of me talking about my past hurts, and the counselor psychoanalyzing the underlying causes of my pain without offering me much via prayers to say or Scriptural teachings to think about. In fact, they failed miserably by not feeding me spiritually with wisdom from the Bible or with prayer. As a result, they did not nurture me to grow, or give me practical solutions to my problems that I could have found through intercessory prayer, and in a working knowledge of Scripture. 

So after almost a year of me crying in pain and them patting me on the back and taking my money, I had had enough and canceled my sessions, saying that I could no longer afford to go there. As an interesting side note, absolutely none of the people in the counseling center, who were all members of the same parish, showed me any sympathy or concern after that, or tried to help or comfort me in any way outside of the counseling office.

Since then, God has laid it on my heart that these sorts of deplorable situations happen constantly in Churches all over the world, especially historically in the Catholic and Protestant Churches in the wealthy Western nations that were once considered to be Christian nations. There is very little love and charity being taught or shown, and many people within the Church are suffering needlessly because they are not being taught how to preach and teach from God’s Word about how to love, pray and give! This is especially true of Mega-Churches and Pastors, where the amount that they take in everyday is completely disproportionate to the amount that they give in return on a daily basis.  

As an example, there was a recent story about how Joel Osteen’s church safe was robbed of the offerings earned just on that weekend, which were in excess of $600,000! How much of that huge amount of money do you think goes back into taking care of the poor and needy within their church? I’d wager that very little of it does, despite whatever charity programs or missions they may have.

My message here today is extremely unpopular, and I know that in many cases, it will fall on deaf ears and cause people’s hearts to harden toward me even more. But this is the truth of the Church today, and God will not be mocked by Pastors who are wolves fleecing their sheep, or by sheep that are blind, deaf and dumb to the truth of the Gospel because they refuse to study the Bible or pray on their own, or to seek wisdom directly from God!  

Let’s face it! The message that I needed to hear back then in counseling, but which was never preached to me by any Pastor or Counselor that I have listened to, is the reason why we suffer! Despite the great evidence to the contrary, most people suffer enormously due to their own sins committed in ignorance, and the sins of those that have been entrusted to care for them. In addition, Yahshua made it clear that those who truly love and follow Him will suffer unjust persecution in this life. Furthermore, there are many hints in Scripture that believers need to continually pray to God in repentance, and for protection against the attacks of the enemy.

Sadly, however, not one of the Pastors or Counselors I knew in the past ever told me that, or showed me how to protect myself by utilizing the Intercessory Prayers that are found throughout the Psalms, and which I only learned about very recently from several concerned and loving brethren. These are called Imprecatory Psalms, and I wrote two blog articles about protecting ourselves with these psalms, as well as another blog article about not casting Spiritual Pearls before Swine that every believer ought to read. Here are the Titles and Links to them:

BELIEVERS CAN BE CURSED,
SO LEARN TO PROTECT YOURSELF!

~~****~~***~~****~~

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE
CAST OUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

~~****~~***~~****~~'

SPIRITUAL WARFARE - PSALM 91, PSALM 140,
AND TWO SAMPLE DELIVERANCE PRAYERS

As an example of this in the Bible, unrepentant sin was behind the sufferings and great losses that the children of Israel experienced as they fell further and further away from serving the One True God, and committed spiritual fornication with other gods. This truly began on a national scale with King Solomon, who - in his later years - had a weakness for pretty women. As a result, he sinned greatly against God because of allowing the foreign women in his harem to worship whichever god they chose and to teach others to do so - a sin that he apparently never repented of. 

Sadly, Israel paid dearly for those sins when they followed after Bathsheba’s Hittite gods and the strange gods of Solomon’s foreign harem women, which the people of Israel never fully repented of. That is why both the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah eventually fell to foreign powers, and the Israelites lost EVERYTHING, including their wealth, their freedom, their power, and their land. Their folly is a testament to all future generations that God’s mercy, love and forgiveness do NOT cancel the debts we owe when we sin, and there will always be consequences that need to be paid for our sins unless we repent.

There are also many passages in the books that David and Solomon wrote where the wealth and enjoyment of the enemies of Israel are mentioned in relation to the SUFFERING of God’s servants, including themselves. They talk of how the wicked prosper and have every good thing, while the children of God go without and are cursed. 

Part of the reason for this that was sometimes acknowledged by the writers of the Psalms and Proverbs is that there are curses attached to sin by God, and since no one in Israel could keep the Law perfectly, they suffered for it. They all sinned, and were eventually cursed by God with sorrows - both within their families, and nationally as foreign powers began to antagonize and then attack Israel. As God firmly announced to the Israelites:

“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” ~ Deuteronomy 11:26-28

What most believers do NOT realize, however, is that the same curses that God listed later in the Book of Deuteronomy (See Deuteronomy Chapter 27) hold true for sinners today, even if they claim the Blood of Christ for redemption. Unless we repent and plead for mercy after we have sinned, and make amends to those we have sinned against, there are dire consequences that must be paid for all sin that include the loss of property and relationships, and can even cost us our health and our lives. 

In fact, despite many false teachings to the contrary, even belief in Christ does not erase the curses that these sins bring upon a person or their world. Furthermore, it does not matter if a professing believer has previously repented of their sins, accepted Christ, been baptized, or even if they currently serve within the Church! For proof of this, read the story of the married couple called Ananias and Sapphira in Acts, Chapter 5! These supposed servants of Christ were both baptized believers within the Church, but they paid dearly for lying to their Church leaders. They also were not given a “fair trial” or a “second chance”! Instead, they died without mercy: 
“But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” 
 5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. 
 7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” 
 She said, “Yes, for so much.” 
 9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.” ~ Acts 5:1-11 
This story is in the Bible for a very important reason. It is there to convict people of the seriousness of their sins even under Grace, and their need to learn that the whole Gospel of God never promises riches, wealth, happiness or freedom from hurt or want for anyone in this life, even the most upright and sterling in character among them. We live in a world full of sorrows and tribulations, and the only real comfort we will find in this world either comes directly from God Himself, or from those who truly serve Him and His people out of love. As Yahshua said: 
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” ~ John 15:17-19
 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” ~ John 16:33 
Yet despite the fact that the world hates those who love Yahshua, our Father God Yahweh is an ever-present help in trouble for those who have faith in Him. As for how this plays out in the lives of believers, it depends on their level of faith and ability to call out to God for help and direction before things get impossibly out of hand. Most often, help comes in answer to our prayers, which have the power to change things on our behalf.

The late Corrie Ten Boom shared her perspective about God’s help while suffering in a German concentration camp by saying that we are always in tribulation when we are true believers because the world hates us. But we find grace and peace to endure it through Yahshua, who is our strength and help in trouble. So even if we are to be martyred, He will be there with us if we ask Him to be, and He will give us the courage and strength we need to the end, when we go to be with Yahshua in Heaven.

In fact, suffering tribulation is one way God uses to develop our character to be more Christ-like. As Paul taught in his letters: 
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” ~ Romans 5:1-4 
“We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.” ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:3-5 
So, as we strive to be worthy of our citizenship in the Kingdom of God, we all need to learn to bear one another up in love, and to serve each other as best we are able until Yahshua comes for us, whether by death or in the Rapture. 
~ * ~ Bear One Another In Love! ~ Ephesians 4:1-6 ~ * ~“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
