Investing God's MONEY outside the Church benefits UNBELIEVERS more than SAINTS; it is DEMONIC LOGIC arising from "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself" (1 Timothy 6:5)
BURDEN OF PROPHETS
1. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to FORETELL the “SECRETS” of God, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he REVEALETH HIS SECRET unto his servants the PROPHETS” [Amos 3:7] The “SECRET” of God is the MYSTERY of God’s PLAN to RECONCILE man to Himself through Jesus Christ, “To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION” [2 Corinthians 5:19] It was the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to PROPHESY the BIRTH of Christ in Old Testament time; they were laughed to scorn, but refused to be deterred, as it is written: “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But HIS WORD was in mine heart AS A BURNING FIRE shut up IN MY BONES, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay” [Jeremiah 20:9] They were mocked and died unsung, TESTIFYING of Him; afterwards they were vindicated when He was BORN in Bethlehem. Today, it is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to declare Christ’s imminent appearance to this evil and distressed generation. Listen closely, a SEER is not a PROPHET, though a PROPHET may operate as a SEER; one is a GIFT, the other is a CALLING to TESTIFY of Christ, “… for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” [Revelation 19:10]
2. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to suffer rejection, as it is written: “WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?” [Isaiah 53:1] When God CALLED Moses to TESTIFY of His SALVATION in Egypt, some Jews opposed him, saying: “… The LORD look upon you, and judge; because YE HAVE MADE OUR SAVOUR to be ABHORRED in the EYES of PHARAOH, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us” [Exodus 5:21] In like manner, PROPHETS calling this generation to prepare for EXODUS BY AIR presently suffer persecution, but shall be blameless when the Lord shall appear to receive His BRIDE, for, “… BY A PROPHET the LORD BROUGHT ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT, and by a prophet was he preserved” [Hosea 12:13] Do I hear someone say WHERE ARE THE PROPHETS? They are here, rising early to WARN of Christ’s imminent appearance and of looming destruction, but the people are dull of hearing “… whereunto shall I liken THIS GENERATION? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented” [Matthew 11:16-17] As in Egypt, an adulterous generation intoxicated with GREED is ensnared in cruel bondage to MERCHANTS OF FAITH, as foretold: “And through COVETOUSNESS shall they with FEIGNED WORDS make MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3]
3. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to be acquainted with RESISTANCE, “… as Jannes and Jambres WITHSTOOD MOSES, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: men of CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBTE concerning the FAITH” [2Timothy 3:8] JANNES and JAMBRES were REPROBATE Jews and SORCERERS in Pharaoh’s court, as Elymas in the palace of Sergius Paulus, “… a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and DESIRED to HEAR the WORD of God. But ELYMAS THE SORCERER (for so is his name by interpretation) WITHSTOOD THEM, seeking to TURN AWAY the DEPUTY from the FAITH” [Acts 13:7-8] This generation is led astray and deluded by FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE CHRISTS, perched at the highest echelons of the Church and as SOOTHSAYERS in corridors of POWER, “For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT” [Matthew 24:24] The ELECT will not be DECEIVED because they listen and take heed to PROPHETS. Over the years, the VOICE of PROPHECY suffered long in gilded Cathedrals and now found refuge in the WILDERNESS, as foretold, “… Go out into the HIGHWAYS and HEDGES, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” [Luke 14:23] The VOICE of PROPHECY shall be vindicated on the HIGHWAYS and in the HEDGES of this age, in those who HEAR and HEED, “The VOICE of one crying in the WILDERNESS, PREPARE ye the WAY of the LORD, make his paths straight” [Mark 1:3]
4. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to “SEE” and PROPHESY to a people who my choose not to “SEE”, “That seeing they may SEE, AND NOT PERCEIVE; and hearing they may HEAR, AND NOT UNDERSTAND; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” [Mark 4:12] This generation has a rich store of knowledge, always learning, but never coming to terms with the SEASON of her VISITATION, “And saying, Where is the PROMISE of HIS COMING? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” 2 Peter 3:3-4] Brethren, the PROMISE is due and His Coming is certain; His appearance is imminent, God shall take away the BURDEN OF PROPHETS, as it is written: “… thou shouldest give REWARD UNTO THY SERVANTS the PROPHETS, and to the SAINTS, and them that FEAR THY NAME, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth” [Revelation 11:18] It is so close and very soon there should be TIME NO MORE; His PROPHETS will not be silent, till “… the MYSTERY OF GOD should be FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the PROPHETS” [Revelation 10:7] Friend, the VOICE of PROPHETS is calling you to REPENTANCE; prepare to meet the Lord, “… BELIEVE in the LORD your God, so shall ye be ESTABLISHED; BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS, so shall ye PROSPER” [2 Chronicles 20:20]
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour amen
In Genesis 1:26, God said: "... Let us make man in our image, after our likeness .." God, indeed, created us in His IMAGE but not in His LIKENESS, as it is written: "So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE Him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27) For emphasis, IMAGE appeared twice in the verse; it is a MYSTERY
Every PERVERSION of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ amount to DOCTRINE OF DEVILS, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the LATTER TIMES some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS" (1 Timothy 4:1)

1. Jesus Chrit is the LAMB of God, FOREORDAINED before the FOUNDATION of the WORLD, to RECONCILE us to God, “… as of a LAMB without BLEMISH and without SPOT: Who verily was FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was manifest in these last times for you” [1 Peter 1:19-20] He is our PEACE OFFERING, without BLEMISH or SPOT, to atone for SIN, “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by HIS GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus” [Romans 3:23-24] By reason of original SIN, in Eden, all men are born incompatible to God; as NATURL MAN, “But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” [1 Corinthians 2:14] While we were HELPLESS and without HOPE, God paved the WAY of PEACE for us through the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, “And, having made PEACE through the BLOOD of his cross, BY HIM to RECONCILE ALL THINGS to HIMSELF BY HIM, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” [Colossians 1:20] This is the GOSPEL OF PEACE preached in the name of Jesus Christ, “And how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that PREACH the GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of good things” [Romans 10:15]
2.GOSPEL OF PEACE is the MYSTERY of how God revealed Himself in Jesus Christ “To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING the world unto HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION” [2 Corinthians 5:19] GOSPEL of Jesus Christ is the simplicity of God’s WISDOM, which to those who deny the TRUTH is FOOLISHNESS, “For after that in the WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the FOOLISHNESS of PREACHING to SAVE them that BELIEVE” [1 Corinthians 1:21] Though there be many voices in the world touting access to God, the ONLY WAY is the OFFER of PEACE through FAITH in the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ, “Beware lest any man SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY and vain DECEIT, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For IN HIM DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the GODHEAD bodily” [Colossians 28-9] Friend, God’s OFFER of PEACE with God is on your table. If you are SINCERE and WILLING to receive the TRUTH, the SEED of FAITH shall be quickened in your HEART, as it is written: “So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and hearing by the WORD OF GOD” [Romans 10:17] I encourage you to pour out your SINS to the Lord for FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE He DIED on the Cross and ROSE the third day. CONFESS Him as your LORD and SAVIOUR, “For with the heart man BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” [Romans 10:10]
3. Making PEACE with God enables His SPIRIT, in us, to settle our MINDS on His PEACE, as it is written: “Thou wilt KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, whose MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: because he TRUSTETH IN THEE” [Isaiah 26:3] When we received Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOUR, we turned over our lives to Him; lock, stock and barrel. He has our back, in a world ravaged by wickedness, “Peace I leave with you”, said the Lord, “MY PEACE I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, neither let it be AFRAID” [John 14:27] His PEACE is not absence of the vicissitudes of living in this dying world but of firm assurance we are in safe hands, whose hearts “STAYED” on God, “And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS PURPOSE” [Romans 8:28] Though pressed on every side by much DISTRESS and sundry INSTABILITIES, our MINDS are FOCUSED on Him and “STILLED” by Him who is able to do “… exceeding abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the POWER that WORKETH IN US” [Ephesians 3:20] Listen carefully, the “POWER THAT WORKETH IN US” is the SOVEREIGNTY of God to do His WIL, and we have His PEACE if we abide in His PURPOSE. When we suffer FRUSTRATIONS and wallow in SORROWS, it is because our MINDS are not in tune with His PURPOSE, “For it is God which WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure” [Philippians 2:13]
4. Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH through our Lord Jesus Christ, we have PEACE with God and His PEACE dwells in us; we are beacons of PEACE in a world subsumed in gross darkness [Romans 5:1] We have PEACE in the world, not with the world, that we should not be stained by corruption, therefore, “Follow PEACE WITH ALL MEN, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord” [Hebrews 12:14] Brethren, we are not SAVED to carry arms to FIGHT for God or give in to inordinate desire for earthly goods, “For the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” [Romans 14:17] Let us by all means keep BITTERNESS at bay, fully assured we have a short time in this BODY and the appearance of the Lord is at hand, when we shall be crowned with glory, “Looking diligently lest any man FALL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any root of BITTERNESS springing up TROUBLE YOU, and thereby many be DEFILED” [Hebrews 12:15] Beloved, I charge you to be faithful to the GOSPEL OF PEACE and refuse to be TROUBLED, that you be not DEFILED and “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received,LET HIM BE ACCURSED” [Galatians 1:9]
BISHOP is an OFFICE, not a CALLING; an AUXILIARY commission to the 5-FOLD MINISTRY, "This is a true saying, If a man desire the OFFICE OF A BISHOP, he desireth a good work"
1 Timothy 3:1
1. How do you label the GENERATION that crossed the Red Sea to possess the PROMISED LAND and of who it is written: “But as for you, your carcases, they shall FALL in this wilderness. And your children shall WANDER in the wilderness FORTY YEARS, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be WASTED in the wilderness” [Numbers 14: 32-33] The ANGEL of the LORD was their GUIDE, yet they were WASTED 40 years in the wilderness, “And the LORD went before them by day in a PILLAR OF A CLOUD, to lead them the way; and by night in a PILLAR OF FIRE, to give them light; to go by day and night” [Exodus 13:21] For 40 years they woke up to see the PILLAR OF CLOUD and went to bed under the PIILAR OF FIRE, “And did all drink the same SPIRITUAL DRINK: for they drank of that SPIRITUAL ROCK that followed them: and that ROCK WAS CHRIST” [1 Corinthians 10:4] The Lord fed them with, “But with many of them GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED: for they were OVERTHROWN in the wilderness” [1 Corinthians 10:5] Is God PLEASED with this GENERATION? Are we nearer the PROMISED LAND or WANDERING and “WASTING”? “Now all these things happened unto them for ENSAMPLES: and they are WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION, upon whom the ENDS OF THE WORLD are come” [1 Corinthians 10: 11]
2. Some 40 odd years ago, marching cry of the Church was the VISION of GLORY, “The GLORY of this LATTER HOUSE shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give PEACE, saith the LORD of hosts” [Haggai 2:9] As we pressed into the 90s, VISION of the LATTER HOUSE was distorted by FALSE TEACHERS, as in the wilderness, “But there were FALSE PROPHETS also among the people, even as there shall be FALSE TEACHERS among you, who privily shall bring in damnable HERESIES, … ” [2 Peter 2:1] So soon after the great REVIVALS of the 60s and 70s, the hardy CATECHISMS of SELF DENIAL, FELLOWSHIP of Christ’s SUFFERING, sturdy FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY were violated with “Perverse disputings of men of CORRUPT MINDS, and destitute of the TRUTH, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself” [1 Timothy 6:5] By the turn of the 2nd millennia, the order of priesthood was usurped by greedy men in cassocks, whose sole motivation was COVETOUSNESS and as foretold: : “And through COVETOUSNESS shall they with FEIGNED WORDS make MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3] Now, we have a new order of priests whose trade is to infame their flocks with “FEIGNED WORDS” to LUST after filthy lucre to feed their own GREED, “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should NOT LUST AFTER EVIL THINGS, as they also lusted” [1 Corinthians 10:6]
3. Looking through the mirror of TRUTH,Jesus said:“But whereunto shall I liken this GENERATION? It is like unto CHILDREN sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have PIPED UNTO YOU, and YE HAVE NOT DANCED; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented” [Matthew 11:16-17] The GENERATION that SAW Jesus walk the streets of Chorazin and HEARD Him TEACH in Bethsaida, denied the TRUTH, “WOE unto thee, CHORAZIN! woe unto thee, BETHSAIDA! for if the MIGHTY WORKS, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have REPENTED long ago in sackcloth and ashes” [Matthew 11:21] Our churches are bursting at the seams with unrepentant SOULS lulled to sleep in gilded Cathedrals by lullabies of latter-day SCRIBES and PHARISEES, of who it is written: “Woe unto you, SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! for ye compass sea and land to make one PROSELYTE, and when he is made, ye make him TWOFOLD MORE the CHILD OF HELL than yourselves” [Matthew 23:15] Why are we always so quick to JUSTIFY ourselves? Are we not chasing shadows, if we think to please God with a form of godliness approved by men but contrary to TRUTH?, “… Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES BEFORE MEN; but GOD KNOWETH YOUR HEARTS: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN is ABOMINATION in the sight of God” [Luke 16:15] Are we BEWITCHED or simply FOOLISH, as the Church in Galatia? “O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath BEWITCHED you, that ye should not OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, CRUCIFIED among you?” [Galatians 3:3]
4. What shall we say of the Church of the Laodiceans, that does not apply to this GENERATION, “… I am RICH, and INCREASED with goods, and HAVE NEED OF NOTHING; and knowest not that thou art WRETCHED, and MISERABLE, and POOR, and BLIND, and NAKED” [Revelation 3:17] Laodicea is the 7th Church Age, a WASTED GENERATION, saddled with onerous fate of ushering Christ’s appearance, as it is written: “Behold, I STAND AT THE DOOR, and KNOCK”, says the Lord, “… if any man HEAR MY VOICE, and OPEN THE DOOR, I will COME IN to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” [Revelation 3:20] Friend, Jesus is at the door CALLING His own SHEEP out of this WASTED GENERATION, “… saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4] He is CALLING those who are DEAD in SIN, from the HEDGES and GUTTERS of this world; His VOICE is the WATER of LIFE, “Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the STOCK THEREOF DIE IN THE GROUND; Yet through the SCENT OF WATER it will BUD, and BRING FORTH boughs like a plant” [Job 18:8-9] Are you BORN AGAIN? Search the scriptures, SALVATION is not a CORPORATE VENTURE, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR and TREMBLING” [Philippians 2:12]
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen
The FIRST EVE spoke when she was required to be silent, the SECOND EVE is required to be SILENT in SUBMISSION to TRUTH, as it is written: "Let the WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE with all SUBJECTION. But I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN but to be in silence" 1 Timothy 2:9-15
PRAYER is the SPIRIT of God, in us, communicating with God to establish His PURPOSE; first in our lives and then in the world. "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the THINGS OF GOD KNOWETH NO MAN, but the SPIRIT OF GOD" (1 Corinthians 2:11)
Esau, was the first born and by law entitled to the BLESSING [Genesis 25:25] He NEARLY got it but when it mattered most, he slipped at the altar of LUST, as it is written: “Lest there be any FORNICATOR, or PROFANE person, as Esau, ...” [Hebrews 12:16-17]
1. When God laid the foundations of this world, there was so much HOPE and JOY, “Where wast thou when I laid the FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH? declare, if thou hast understanding. When the MORNING STARS SANG together, and all the SONS of God SHOUTED FOR JOY?” [Job 8:4-7] The JOY was cut short by SIN, opening the door to the CURSE which subjected NATURE to BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION, as it is written: “… Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it; CURSED BE THE GROUND for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life” [Genesis 3:17] The daily tribulations of living in a world enslaved to CORRUPTION and DEATH is the SIN occasioned by DECEPTION. The Serpent DECEIVED Man, but God was not caught unawares, as some think; He allowed the error, that He might perfect the work of REDEMPTION in those who live in HOPE of His SALVATION, “For the creature was made subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of him who hath SUBJECTED the same in HOPE, Because the creature itself also shall be DELIVERED FROM the BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious LIBERTY of the children of God” [Romans 8:20-21]
2. The mosquito was not created to infect people with malaria or the lion to savage antelopes, “And God saw EVERY THING THAT HE HAD MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD …” [Genesis 1:31] When SIN overthrew CREATION with CORRUPTION the personality of the BEAST was impressed on NATURE. The BEAST in NATURE is the character of Satan; it is the reason the world is ravaged by poverty, disease, strife and wars. Listen closely, no plant was created to be poisonous or used to produce psychedelic drugs but food, “And God said, Behold, I have given you EVERY HERB bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and EVERY TREE, in the which is the FRUIT of a tree yielding seed; TO YOU IT SHALL BE MEAT” [Genesis 1:29] No cell or virus was formed to kill but do contrary, even as we, knowing what is GOOD to do, do the opposite, “Now if I do that I would not, IT IS NO MORE I THAT DO IT, BUT SIN that dwelleth in me. … O WRETCHED MAN that I am! WHO SHALL DELIVER ME from the body of this DEATH?’ [Roman 7:20-24] Friend, be of good cheer, God foreknew SIN world come and made a WAY for us who were once separated from His goodness to be RECONCILED to Him through Jesus Christ, “For it pleased the Father that IN HIM SHOULD ALL FULNESS DWELL; And, having made PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD of his cross, by him to RECONCILE ALL THINGS unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” [Colossians 1:19-20]
3. We all came into the world saddled with the yoke of SIN, enslaved to DEATH, “For ALL HAVE SINNED and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACEe through the REDEMPTION redemption that is in Christ Jesus:” [Romans 3:23-24] We were DEAD ON ARRIVAL, “FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”, DEAD to God because SIN dwelt in us [Romans 6:23] This BODY we cherish so much is the BODY of DEATH [Romans 7:24] The only ONE who could SAVE us is God; He had to be like us to overcome SIN in this BODY and conquer DEATH, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of FLESH and BLOOD, he also HIMSELF TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY HIM that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEVIL” [Hebrews 2:14] God was manifest in Jesus Christ, and by His DEATH on the Cross paid the “WAGES” of our SIN; It is a MYSTERY, “And without controversy great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST in the FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” [1 Timothy 3:16] We are no longer in BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION, to who the MYSTERY is revealed and do believe “GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH” to REDEEM us. When we BELIEVED, we DIED with Him and because He ROSE from DEATH, so did we, to live forever in NEWNESS OF LIFE, “Therefore we are BURIED WITH HIM by baptism into death: that like as Christ was RAISED FROM THE DEAD by the glory of the Father, even so we also should WALK in NEWNESS OF LIFE” [Romans 6:4]
4. We are no longer slaves to CORRUPTION, and in us dwells the LIFE of God, “… we have this TREASURE in EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY of the POWER may be of God, and not of us” [2 Corinthians 4:7] “EARTHEN VESSELS” indicate the fragility of our present BODY, in which we GROAN in PAINS subject to diverse temptations and afflictions of living in a dying world. We are not alone, all creation TRAVAIL and desire to be restored to days of “HEAVEN ON EARTH”, and we, to be clothed with our HEAVENLY BODY, “For we know that the whole CREATION GROANETH and TRAVAILETH in PAIN together until now. And not only they, but URSELVES also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the ADOPTION, to wit, the REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY” [Romans 8:22-23] If truly we have received Christ, let us make diligent preparations to be approved at Christ’s appearance, when we shall be clothed with glory. We shall be transformed, and at His command all creation shall be changed, “The WOLF also shall DWELL with the LAMB, and the LEOPARD shall lie down with the KID; and the SAL and the young LION and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them” [Isaiah 11:6] Finally, I warn you to beware of some who promise LIBERTY, but are “… SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a MAN IS OVERCOME, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE” [2 Peter 2:19]
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and SAVIOUR, Amen.
LONGSUFFERING is WHOLESOME DOCTRINE; a FRUIT of the SPIRIT and BADGE of HNOUR for those who shall INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE, "Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all LONGSUFFERING, for a PATTERN TO THEM WHICH SHOULD HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON HIM TO LIFE EVERLASTING" (1 Timothy 1:16)

The situation may look HOPELESS in the face of daunting global DISTRESS, listen, there is HOPE for you, “For there is HOPE FOR A TREE, if it be CUT DOWN, that it will SPROUT AGAIN, ... (Job 14:7_9)
1. Satan, in his bid to TEMPT Jesus, took “… him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD, and the GLORY of them” [Matthew 4:8] Without controversy, there are countless realms, seem and unseen, but only one supreme POTENTATE, who “… CHANGETH the TIMES and the SEASONS he REMOVETH kings, and SETTETH up kings: he giveth WISDOM unto the WISE, and KNOWLEDGE to them that know UNDERSTANDING” [Daniel 2:21] The ONE who “REMOVETH kings, and SETTETH up kings” is God, made known first to His angels in the FIRSTBEGOTTEN and to us as the LAMB of God. [Hebrews 1:6] Some of the angels resisted Him and the world took sides with His foes to make “… war with the LAMB, and the LAMB SHALL OVERCOME them: for he is LORD OF LORDS, and KING OF KINGS: and they that are with him are CALLED, and CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL” Revelation 17:14] In due season, we were CALLED out of KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD, CHOSEN from the foundations of the world to inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD. Let us be FAITHFUL to Him that gave His LIFE for us; WAITCHING and PREPARING for the VOICE, “… saying, The KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME the KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever” [Revelation 11:15]
2. We are surrounded by an ETHEREAL world of thrones and kingdoms where Satan and sundry fallen angels hide their shame, “… the great DRAGON was cast out, that old SERPENT, called the DEVIL, and SATAN, which DECEIVETH the whole world: he was CAST OUT into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” [Revelation 12:9] Though fallen, they retained their angelic powers with which they carved out thrones and kingdoms in the AIR. They turned their attention to men to subjugate in rebellion against God, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPILATIES, against POWERS, against the RULERS of the DARKNESS of this WORLD, against SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in HIGH PLACES” [Ephesians 6:12] Hidden from sight, kingdoms of the AIR operate through legions of disembodied spirits to MANIPULATE and CONTROL human affairs in rebellion against the purpose of God, “… even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” [1 Corinthians 2:7-8] With demonic CIVILIZATIONS and false RELIGION, they draw multitudes away from TRUTH, “Having the UNDERSTANDING DARKENED, being ALIENATED from the LIFE of God through the IGNORANCE that is in them, because of the BLINDNESS of their heart” [Ephesians 4:18] If any man has not the LIFE OF GOD in himself, he is BLINDED and IGNORANT of these things.
3. Earthly kingdoms and civilizations operate in the permissive WILL of God; when man fell in Eden, he lost his DOMINION to his adversary. Four thousand years later, “Jesus answered, My KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD: IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence” [John 18:36] We were born into KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD, disobedient to God, in subjection to the Prince of the AIR, “… the SPIRIT NOW WORKETH in the CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENC Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the LUSTS of our flesh, fulfilling the DESIRESs of the FLESH and of the MIND; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others” [Ephesians 2:2-3] If by GRACE through FAITH we are BORN AGAIN, we are no longer of “THIS WORLD”, that we should be ENTANGLED in the affairs of this world. We are in the world, as long as we are in this BODY, but we are not of this world; our VALUES, HOPES and ASPIRATIONS are of the KINGDOM of God. If any man professes Christ and for any reason ensnares himself in the affairs of “THIS WORLD”, he deceives himself, “For if after they have escaped the POLLUTIONS of the WORLD through the KNOWLEDGE of the LORD and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ, they are again ENTANGLED THEREIN, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” [2 Peter 2:20]
4. KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD are doomed, as God had promised, “… saying, Yet once more I SHAKE not the EARTH only, but also HEAVEN. … as of things that are MADE, that those things which cannot be shaken may REMAIN. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken” [Hebrews 12:26-27] The “SHAKING” has commenced; thrones and dominions “MADE” in ethereal “HEAVENS” are ”SHAKEN” as UNTIMELY FIGS “And the STARS of HEAVEN FELL unto the EARTH, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind” [Revelation 6:13] Present general instability across the globe is more than human error, hordes of hell are actively engaged; they know they have but a SHORT TIME, “… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the DEVIL IS COME DOWN unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a SHORT TIME” [Revelation 12:12] Beloved, HOLD TIGHT to your FAITH in Christ, preparing with all diligence for His imminent appearance when we shall be glorified “No man that warreth ENTANGLETH HIMSELF with the AFFAIRS of this LIFE; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier” [2 Timothy 2:3-4] Are you BRON AGAIN? Now is the time to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, for “… the WORLD PASSETH AWAY, and the LUST thereof: but HE that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETHE FOR EVERr” [1 John 2:16-17] Amen
SOUND DOCTRINE, like SALT, is rendered useless when blended with MERCANTILISM, extreme NATIONALISM, CULTURE, etc., and if "... SALT have lost his SAVOUR, wherewith shall it be SALTED? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be CAST OUT, and to be trodden under foot of men" Matthew 5:13
1. We live in pretty peculiar times; an exponential increase in KNOWLEDGE but UNDERSTANDING is “SHUT UP”, “But thou, O Daniel, SHUT UP the WORDS, and SEAL the BOOK, even to the TIME of the END: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE shall be INCREASED” [Daniel 12:4] The Bible is translated in virtually all languages, the GOSPEL is preached in all nations via the internet, but FAITH is scarce because UNDERSTANDING required to navigate “TIME of the END” is “HID” in the labyrinth of PROPHECY. There is palpable FEAR and CONFUSION because those who should know are ignorant of the PROPHETIC DATELINE, as it is written: “… IF THOU HADST KNOWN, even thou, at least in THIS THY DAY, the things which belong unto thy PEACE! but now they are HID FROM THINE EYES” Luke 19:42] While the world staggers from pandemic to wars and rumours of war, SEASON OF FALSE CHRISTS creeps on the world to add fuel to the fire of confusion; “For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and false prophets, and shall shew great SIGNS and WONDERS; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, they shall DECEIVE the very ELECT” [Matthew 24:24]
2. Satan was the first FALSE CHRIST; PERFECT in his ways, until SELF INTEREST was found in him, “For thou hast SAID in THINE HEART, I will ASCEND into HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT my THRONE above the STARS of God: I WILL SIT also upon the MOUNT of the CONGREGATION, in the sides of the north: I WILL ASCEND above the heights of the CLOUDS; I WILL be LIKE the MOST HIGH” [Isaiah 14:13-14] Satan nowhere said he wanted to be GREATER than God; his INTENTION was to be “LIKE” God. This ordinarily would be “GOOD INTENTION”, not so with God, it was unpardonable; it turned him to a FALSE CHRIST. Those who replace total SUBMISSION to DIVINE WILL with human WISDOM run contrary to the “… FOUNDATION of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being the chief CORNER STONE; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an HOLY TEMPLE in the Lord” [Ephesians 2:20-22] The ELECT have a sure PATTERN in Christ’s Apostles and Prophets, by which we are built up into “an HOLY TEMPLE”, not so FALSE CHRISTS. They openly profess Anti-Christ but inwardly at variance to the heavenly PATTERN. Whereas FOUNDATION of Apostles was established in faithful men, raised in the likeness of Christ, FALSE CHRISTS rejoice in grandiose temples of brick and mortar, ”… I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” [1 Corinthians 3:10-11]
3. FALSE CHRISTS are like trees having radiant flowers, but bear FRUIT strange to the farmer “Ye shall KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” [Matthew 7:16] Like bees attracted to FLOWERS, they allure with GIFTS but are divorced from the ANOINTING which is able to raise FRUIT in the likeness of Christ. Listen closely, GIFTS are freely given, ANOINTING is the SEAL of Christ’s approval. Again, GIFTS without ANOINTING is WITCHCRAFT and many were DECEIVED in Samaria by Simon, “… To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This MAN is the great POWER OF GOD. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES” [Acts 8:9-11] Watch out for Preachers who loom so large over the Church, the flocks no longer see Christ but the Pastor. They celebrate Christ in their liturgy but inwardly are OVERCOME of SELF INTEREST, binging many into cruel bondage with lofty words of vanity, “While they PROMISE THEM LIBERTY, they themselves are the SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in BONDAGE” [2 Peter 2:19] Beloved, beware of those who peddle CATECHISM OF LUST in the name of the Lord, they ENTICE you with what is GOOD, PLEASANT and DESIREABLE to rob you of ETERNAL LIFE. In like manner, Eve was DECEIVED, “… the woman saw that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat … [Genesis 3:5-7]
4. No man is too big to fall; Satan was the “ANOINTED CHERUB” and walked “… in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast PERFECT in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE” [Ezekiel 28:4] In like manner, FALSE CHRISTS were once good Christians, but fell, replacing OBEDIENCE with SACRIFICE as did Saul, “And Saul said unto Samuel, I have SINNED: for I have TRANSGRESSED the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I FEARED the PEOPLE, and OBEYED their VOICE. Now therefore, I pray thee, PARDON my SIN, and TURN AGAIN WITH ME, that I may WORSHIP the LORD” [1 Samuel 15:24-25] We are in the SEASON OF FALSE CHRISTS, a sure SIGN to prepare for the appearance of the Lord. Let the ELECT search their hearts and be vigilant, lest we be entangled in the hypocrisy of those who accommodate DISOBEDIENCE as strategy for Church growth, “… but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN is ABOMINATION in the SIGHT of God” [Luke 16:15] We must not be DECEIVED by a rampant generation of deluded Church-goers and their FALSE CHRISTS, as to be DISTRACTED from the TRUTH and imminent appearance of the Lord, “… for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should BELIEVE A LIE: That they all might be damned who BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” [2 Thessalonians 2:11-12]
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen
If the world is at PEACE with what you HEAR BELIEVE and DO, you are BUYING from MERCHANTS OF VAIN GLORY, "For when they speak great swelling WORD OF VANITY, they ALLURE through the LUSTS of the FLESH, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error" 2 Peter 2:18
Many are DECEIVED and are unwitting tools of DECEPTION in the hands of the DECEIVER, as it is written:"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING , AND BEING DECEIVED" 2 Timothy 3:13
Many are DECEIVED and are unwitting tools of DECEPTION in the hands of the DECEIVER, as it is written:"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING , AND BEING DECEIVED" 2 Timothy 3:13
1. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, she is the KEY to END-TIME PROPHECY. Wars all around, a virulent pandemic refuse to go away, famine looms and “Men's HEARTS FAILING them for FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” [Luke 21:26] An adulterous generation is gripped with FEAR and desire to know what lies ahead but will not endure SOUND DOCTRINE, but “… after their own LUSTS shall they heap to themselves TEACHERS, having ITCHING EARS And they shall TURN AWAY their EARS from the TRUTH, and shall be turned unto FABLES” [2 Timothy 4:3-4] The airwaves are jammed with VOICES forecasting the PROPHECY with FACTS, contrary to TRUTH, and many are led astray. Brethren, ISRAEL not recent global troubles, is the ticking CLOCK of PROPHECY, “… unto them were committed the ORACLES of God” [Romans 3:2] Listen carefully, God deals with us according to COVENANT SIGNED and SEALED with ISRAEL, and we being outside the commonwealth of ISRAEL “… and STRANGERS from the COVENANTS OF PROMISE, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made NIGH by the BLOOD of Christ” [Ephesians 2:12-13]
2. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, as the TENDER BRANCH fulfils PROPHECY and you will not be DECEIVED, “Now learn a PARABLE of the FIG TREE; When his BRANCH IS YET TENDER, and PUTTETH FORTH LEAVES, ye know that SUMMER IS NIGH. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors” [Matthew 24:32-33] Geo-political ISRAEL is the TENDER BRANCH, which sprang up in 1948; a MYSTERY and a sure SIGN to the ELECT of imminent fulfilment of the times of the gentile CHURCH, “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this MYSTERY, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that BLINDNESS IN PART IS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL, UNTIL the FULNESS of the GENTILES be come” [Romans 11:25] The “FULNESS of the GENTILES” is the time allotted to the BRIDE to prepare to receive the BRIDEGROOM. Those who KEEP THEIR EYES ON ISRAEL and understand correlation between TENDER BRANCH and the DAY for which we have waited for so long, but “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that DAY shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the son of perdition ” [2 Thessalonians 2:3-4] Be vigilant, though there be wars, rumours of war, pandemics, famine, social disorder and climatic upheavals, it is not yet time, until all TARES “FALL AWAY”, in INTER-FAITH BUNDLES and the MAN OF SIN REVEALEDS,”As therefore the TARES are GATHERED and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the END OF THIS WORLD” [Matthew 13:40]
3. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, the “LEAVES” are budding, and “Though the ROOT thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will BUD, and BRING FORTH BOUGHS LIKE A PLANT” [Job 14:8-9] SEVENTY YEARS after the TENDER BRANCH sprang up, the NATION-STATE BILL was passed, July 19 2018 by parliament, which effectively made ISRAEL a JEWISH ENTITY; signifying the commencement of LEAVES and her RESTORATION [Matthew 24:32] On one hand, there is a “FALLING AWAY” in the Church to prepare her for TRANSLATION; on the other hand, geo-political ISRAEL is in TRANSITION to her DESTINY. Both MOVES have the same END, the appearance of the MAN OF SIN, who “… shall CONFIRM THE COVENANT with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST of the week he SHALL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and the OBLATION to CEASE, … ” [Daniel 9:27] We are at the cusp of the “ONE WEEK”, watch closely as ISRAEL reaches out to forge alliances with her Arab neighbours, but she will not get what she wants until the MAN OF SIN is revealed, “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD’ [2 Thessalonians 2:4] He is so close, when he does appear, the TENDER BRANCH shall be crowned with LEAVES; he will broker the AGREEMENT that allows ISRAEL to rebuild the TEMPLE.
4. KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL, WATCHING with PRAYERS for the DAY STAR to arise in your heart, for “We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts” [2 Peter 1:19] Our sure WORD is the PROPHETIC 70 WEEKS apportioned to ISRAEL, to SEAL UP VISION and PROPHECY, as it is written: “SEVENTY WEEKS are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to SEAL up the VISION and PROPHECY, and to ANOINT the MOST HOLY” [Daniel 9:24] The DAY STAR arises in those who KEEP THEIR EYES ON ISREAL, making diligent preparations as befits the BRIDE awaiting the BRIDEGROOM. In the midst of the WEEK, the WICKED ONE will breach the AGREEMENT, when he does, it is time to go, for in the midst of the WEEK, the TRUMPET shall SOUND. “… the DEAD in Christ shall RISE FIRST: Then we which are alive AND REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] Beloved, SUMMER is so close, KEEP YOUR EYES ON ISRAEL and you will not be ashamed.
5. If you have not done so, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen
