Make Us One

As Hurricane Isabel, the first Atlantic storm to reach maximum intensity since Hurricane Mitch back in 1998, according to the National Hurricane Center, has made its way down the Eastern Seaboard, we have watched with awe, the tragic devastation and damage it has left in its path. Surely another wake-up call to America to get it's house in order. Ironically on the second anniversary of the unforgettable event of September the 11th, here comes the emergence of a category five hurricane (the biblical number for grace). And I for one am grateful today for the grace of God which He has shown by decreasing this storm down from a category 5, to a category 2 by the time it reached the Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan area. For had it been anything other than what it was, so much more damage, flooding, blackouts, and loss of life could have occurred. To God be the glory I was not affected by none of these. However, I could look out of my front door and see the pitch black darkness from the power outages on the other side of the street, and see for myself, the fallen trees and limbs, and know that yes Hurricane Isabel most definitely made a lasting impression on all of us here. Oh by the way the meaning of the name Isabel, though most likely a medieval Spanish form of Elizabeth, also is derived from an old Semitic name meaning "Daughter of BAAL" Selah. I say all of that to say this, Body of Christ we surely, like never before, must be about our Fathers Business. The birth pangs are getting closer and the pain is intensifying every day, as we draw closer and closer to the climatic events of the end times.

Are you watching saints of God? Are you watching not only the signs that are taking place in the heavens and upon this earth, but are you seeing God's Word unfolding before your very eyes each and every day. Oh yes, we are so blessed in this end time generation, because the seals of God's Word have been loosed exclusively just for us. Remember the Prophet Daniel, how that he desired to understand the visions that he was given by God and couldn't, because they were not for him, but for us . . . those of us living right now in this fig-tree (end time) generation. (For more information on the fig tree generation, read our June/July 2001, August/September 2001, April/May 2002, & April/May 2003 editions of this newsletter) 

Oh that's good news saints of God, the wise shall understand. And that understanding comes through the Chief Shepherd Himself (Yeshua the Messiah) . . . The Living Word of God.

Did you see that Body of Christ? We shall reign right here on this earth . . . No we won't be walking around the golden streets of heaven all day, and swinging through the pearly gates. You see the Father will have plenty of work for us to do right here on planet earth. That is why, even now, we must diligently be about our Fathers Business . . . preparing the way for that which is to come shortly. As I mentioned earlier, Jesus has already loosed the seals and for those who desire to obtain more Wisdom from His Word, you can do so simply by going to Him (Jesus), the Living Word of God and asking Him (Jesus) to reveal the mysteries of Christ, which in other ages was not made known unto them. Let's look at how the Apostle Paul puts it.

Oh there you have it saints of God, it is time right now, to put aside the traditions of men, and churchianity, and come into a deeper level of understanding the manifold wisdom of God. Oh yes it is time to wean yourselves off of the milk of the Word (salvation & prosperity messages) and prepare your mind for some meat from our Fathers Word.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a baby. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:13-14)

What about you my friend, are you able to discern both good and evil? Are you sealed with the knowledge from our Fathers Word that the antichrist, the false christ, the instead-of Christ, the pretender, the deceiver, the father of lies, the serpant, the devil, oh you know he goes by many names; but are you aware that he comes first before the True King, Yeshua the Messiah comes at the 7th Trump, which is the last Trump? Will you be able to discern the genuine from the fake? You know the children of Israel always seemed to have that problem . . . that is, bowing down and worshipping something other than the True and the Living God.

Let us learn from this following example from the book of Exodus. For what happened to the children of Israel then, is certainly repeating itself even now, in this the final generation . . . before the return of our Lord and Saviour Yeshua the Messiah. Let's check it out.

Can you believe this? Here is the man of God, Aaron the priest, and he has taken his eyes off of the Most High God who has just delivered them all out of a place of bondage, and he has the audacity to agree with the people and give glory to some golden image which he just made with his very own hands. My friends our Father does not take this lightly. You see He ain't sharing His Glory with no one . . . Noooooo, not with some man made image which you have set up, whether it be your house, car, job, church, or even some hi siddity preacher who thinks that he or she is all that and a bag of chips. I can assure you that our Father definitely will not share His glory with that abominable one, the desolator (Satan), who is coming de facto, at the sounding of the 6th Trump. Wake up Body of Christ! God's not sharing His Glory with no one!

Hold up Mr. Preacher . . . Did God ordain that feast, or are you again deciding to do things your way?

Do you see this Body of Christ, worship service as usual . . . And don't forget the offerings. But unfortunately the attention of the service is directed towards an imitation of God. I ask you again. Are you able to discern both good and evil?

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that sing do I hear. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou has brought so great a sin upon them? (Exodus 32:7-21)

Let's stop here saints of God, because somebody is going to have to pay. Moses questioned the man of God regarding the irrational behavior of the people of God. But of course, Aaron still couldn't just repent for his wrong for compromising, and for not holding true to the True and Living God. He had to shift the blame over to the people.

Who's on the Lord's side? That's the question of the hour. Will you believe the lie and bow down to the image which is to come? You know that instead-of Jesus (antichrist), that lying wonder, or will you take a stand for God because you are wise and know the difference between good and evil? Stay alert saints of God. Don't be deceived in these latter days, especially by a so called man or woman of God, because the greatest spiritual battle is yet ahead, and you better be able to recognize it when it comes.
