can you really finally see the truth? the horrible deception this world is in?

https://www.brighteon.com/99516028-3d17-483a-a13c-cec5d937464e

Rev 12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

this is the beginning of the NT Woman, Bride, beginning with the ministry of Jesus Christ.

That old law, the ten horns, serpent’s kingdom, ten commandments, old law is standing there to devour this woman/child.

‘We have a LAW and by our LAW HE ought to die!” Now defy this if you can.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Flee, run on foot. You in Judea flee to the MOUNTAINS. they ran to Peter, Paul, etc. rocks and mountains.

Defy that if you can.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 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.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

then the persecution, or dark ages, set in. murder those Christians. for a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Jesus said, ‘I go to prepare a PLACE FOR YOU.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,

where she is nourished for

a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

she is now free from the FACE of that old serpent.

she is now no longer in this realm.

Her two WINGS took her to her PLACE.

On the other side of Jordon.

Daniel 12: 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

One still here, on this side of Jordon./life.

the other gone on to the other side….. took those wings and flew away to be at rest, from the face of the serpent\/persecution.

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

time, times and an half …. then it is finished. over. they return.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

from the time that the daily sacrifice of animals, crucifixion.. there shall be

a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

This is adding 30 days to the time the woman is fed in the wilderness by the ministers of God.

It is added because of those who took their wings and flew away.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth….

;Then we which are alive and REMAIN…… wait/remain…same thing.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

Blessed are those who are alive and remain till the coming of the Lord with his saints, which took their wings and flew to rest.

It is now 45 days later. RESURRECTION.

and we shall be changed

caught up with them who already have wings.

This is the glorious WINDOW that God took me into last night when I prayed and asked him to take me into another ‘window’ or level of understanding.

blessed are they who WAIT.

AND COME TO THAT RESURRECTION DAY.

we who are ALIVE AND REMAIN…..

same thing.

I have sought for the meaning of this for over 60 years.

time times and a half.

the extra days that we wait after they have gone on.

2 1/2 tribes did not want to cross the Jordan /. they WAITED on this side.

He has held up his right hand and his left hand.

two others, one on this side of the river and the other on that side of the river. I will wait on this side of Jordon.

I will be alive and REMAIN. He cometh with ten thousands of his saints….they went to the other side of Jordon.

at the end of the days, the end comes. TIME SHALL BE NO MORE.

There must be war

~~ There Must Be War ~~

Isaiah 58:1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea; when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

God has commissioned his people, his mighty men of war, to lift up their voice like a ‘trumpet’ and show his people their sins. Now those ‘ministers’ and ‘church people’ who do not believe one should expose sin and false doctrine are not the ones who can do this work. They cannot cry aloud, they desire to spare the sinners and liars for this makes them popular with the people and gives them an advantage over them.

They cannot use the trumpet of God. They are afraid to show the people their sins. Is there any peace to the wicked? No. God said there is no peace to them.

Those who believe lies or false doctrine are under a heavy bondage. They desire peace but have none. What can set them free? Only one thing. Jesus said you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free. So only the truth can set anyone free. But when a true minister of God comes into the midst and lifts up their voice like the trumpet of God and begin to reveal TRUTH and show the people their sins, then they begin to cry PEACE where there is no PEACE.

There can be no peace so long as one is in sin. There can be no peace so long as lies prevail. The gates of hell are the false shepherds who teach lies. They cry peace when there is no peace. They smooth the people over with their slick tongues. And the people love to have it so. You can tell them by the fact of their love for having the ‘chief seats’ in the synagogues. Jesus himself told us this is one of their traits. They set a big fancy chair, a throne, up in front of the Babylon Churches so they can be gazed upon and admired. They set themselves up above the other members of the same church.

Psm. 55: 8. I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind and tempest.

9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

(This goes back to the time of Nimrod. There was violence and strife in the world. So God divided their tongue and scattered them. Even today there is always a division between the workers of iniquity and the true ministers or saints of God. They are divided. They speak a ‘different’ language.)

10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. (This speaks of the Babylon church, the harlot against God. In her midst are always wickedness and oppression and guile.)

12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

14. We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

15. Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into hell; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

This is Jesus speaking in prophecy about Judas, the betrayer. They went into the temple together. He pretended to be of Jesus and his friend. But war was in his heart.

20. He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

21. His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

This is still speaking of the Judases. Their mouth is smoother than butter and softer than oil. Yet they are drawn swords. This is the false teachers and preachers of today. They speak with the smooth, soft voices to soothe the people to sleep and will not show them their sins. This is the enemy of their souls, for it will send them to destruction.

Pro. 5: 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Now see that this strange woman is the same as these false ministers. So this is the false church. Her gates lead to hell. Her gates are the false teachers who cry peace and lies come out of their mouths. Her mouth is smoother than oil; same as the betrayer of Jesus. So these smooth speaking ministers, who will not lift up their voices like a trumpet and show the people their sins are the betrayers of Jesus. They are the enemies of your soul. But their mouth is smooth, for they seek to please men and not God.

Jer. 6:13. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

14. They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, peace, peace; when there is no peace.

[These false prophets and priests (our modern day preachers) were given to COVETOUSNESS. See they loved money. The love of money is the root of all evil. This is one of the easiest ways to know the wolves in sheep clothing. They take pay for doing the work of God. They are hirelings. They all deal falsely against the Word of God. But notice they cry peace, peace when there is no peace. There can be no peace as long as you believe lies and falsehoods.]

15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.

16. Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.

[Now he asked if these false teachers are ashamed of their ways. No, he said they are not at all ashamed. They love the wages of iniquity. But how did He tell them they could find the rest for their souls? By returning to the old paths wherein is the good way and walk in this way. So what is the old paths he is saying to get back to? The teaching of the Apostles. They were the first ones to have this peace and good way. They were the very first ones to have the rest to your soul. And what is the rest to your soul? Isa. 28 teaches that it is the speaking in tongues which is the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost which came on the Day of Pentecost. So then going back to Pentecost, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, is the only rest for your souls. This is the only way of peace. This is the old way God is telling you to get back to. There is no other way to rest and peace.]

17. And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.

18. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

19. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

Here God told them he had set watchmen over them saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. This trumpet is the same we started with = the true ministers lifting up their voice and showing you your sins. This is the true watchmen, the ones who show you your sins so you can find the right path. This path is the old way of the Apostolic Fathers. It is the rest to your souls Isaiah spoke of in chapter 28. He said with stammering lips and another tongue will you find this rest. But see the people said we will not hearken to the sound of this trumpet. And because of this God will bring evil upon this people because they will not hearken to his words.

So now I have shown you that there is no peace to the wicked and those who refuse His true Rest to the soul. So if one comes in with a smooth tongue and soft speech and tells you there is peace to you, know that this is an enemy to your soul. If there is no peace, then there must be war.

But the people want no war. Why? Because they are afraid and cannot fight. They have no truth to fight with. They have no strength to fight with. They are fearful and cannot stand on the front lines of the battle. Is there battle? Yes, indeed. There will be battle and war until the very end of time when Jesus will send his angels and separate the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats. He will draw the net in and divide the fish and cast away the bad. Then there will be peace for the true people of God. But not before. We have peace in our own souls, but out in the field there will be war until the end.

Read Judges six. It tells that God appeared to Gideon and told him to tear down the altar of Baal. So Gideon did this. Then the people of Baal came against Gideon and contended for Baal. Gideon told them if Baal be a god let him contend for himself. Then God told Gideon to go and deliver the people from those who held them in bondage, the Midianites.

Judges 7:1. Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

2. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

3. Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

Here we see that God did not want a large crowd of people in this battle. This would be no glory to God. So he told Gideon to send those who were fearful back home. So if you are ‘fearful’ of the battle, you cannot do any good in the army of the Lord. Only those who have been given the spirit of the ‘lion’ will be able to go to this battle. And there must be war.

4. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

5. So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.

6. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

Here God gives the men the ‘water’ test. Unto what then were ye baptized? [Paul, in Acts 19].

See the men who bowed down to drink showed that they would not be watchful of the approaching enemy. They were not careful and would not be safe in the battle. But the men who lifted water up in their hands, keeping a watch for the enemy, and drank from their own hands like a dog, these were the ones who could go to the battle and bring deliverance. This left 300 men with Gideon. By these few God gave deliverance from the enemy.

7. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.

8. So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

9. And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.

12. And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.

Just look at the huge host of people who were gathered against the people of God! Without number. So the enemy always has the huge crowd. God has only a few, for strait and narrow is the way which leads to eternal life and few there be that find it. Look around you. See the huge multitudes in the Babylon Churches. No matter what their denominations, they all believe essentially the same things. [They all pay their one preacher to rule over them; they all say God came to earth in flesh; they all say you must ‘go to church’ to be saved; they all say you must tithe; almost all of them say all there is to being saved is just believing. See? All lies.]

They will all band together against Gods true people, as these Midianites and Amalekites and the children of the east did here against Israel.

16. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.

Here Gideon divided them into three groups– 100 to each group. They were given trumpets (see this is the trumpet we started with in Isaiah. This trumpet is the message sounding out to show the people their sins.). And they had empty pitchers and torches within the pitchers. This shows the people of God emptied of themselves and the light of God inside us. These are the ones who can go to the battle against Satan and the walls of Babylon.)

17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. (Doing as Gideon did is listening to their leader and all being in the same mind; agreement and equality.)

18. When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon.

19. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.

20. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.

21. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.

22. And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled.

Here these men all blew their trumpets at the same time and broke their pitchers and gave a loud shout. This caused the enemy’s army to flee away. This blowing the trumpets is the sounding of those seven trumpets in Revelation. This is the message of the witnesses of God who will be anointed with power from on high by the baptism of fire to bring the judgment. This will be the second true Church. The first one was with the Apostles. After them it went into seven church ages of darkness and loss of power. But at the end of this age, God will again anoint another true Church with power from on high.

We will then blow our trumpets and show the people their sins and brake down the walls of the whore Babylon. All her walls were daubed with untempered mortar. Her idols will fall down and we will burn them with fire.

What happened here with Gideon is a type and showing what will happen at the end of this age as the true messengers of God lift up their voices like a trumpet to show the people their sins. It will cause the enemy to rise up against us and try to destroy us. But they cannot stand in the battle. And there must be war.

Jesus said the two grow together until the end of the world. This is the wheat and the tares. The sheep and the goats. The good and bad fish caught in the net. But at the end they will be separated. Until then there must be war. The two cannot agree. How can two walk together except they be agreed? The wheat can never agree with the tares. The true church can never agree with the Babylon whore church. So there will be wars until the end; so said Jesus. There must be war.

Jesus said there will always be kingdom against kingdom. This is the kingdom of Satan or Babylon against the kingdom of Jesus or the true Holy Ghost filled Christians, the true Jews.

Rev. 12:7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels;

8. And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9. And 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.

Now see that as long as the devil was allowed to dwell in heaven there was war? There must be war so long as Satan and his angels dwell among God’s people. We can never agree with them. There is no agreement between Satan’s temple and God’s temple. If you agree, then you will fall and become one of them. What fellowship hath light with darkness?

As soon as Satan was cast unto the earth he persecuted the true Church. Until he is destroyed from among the church, there must be war. If you cease to battle Satan and his ministers transforming themselves into ministers of light, then you will fall with them.

You must war with them until they are destroyed and cast out of the Church.

Truth is your only weapon. You absolutely must have the truth of God’s word to do battle with Satan. Jesus himself only used “ it is written”. Unless you can say it is written in what you say and teach then you teach lies and become a member of Satan’s army. You are thus warring with Jesus and his true Church. If you teach something, which is not written in the pure Word of God, then you teach, lies and are become an enemy of God and His true people.

So those of us who teach truth are the ones with the trumpet in our mouth. We are the ones who come to save you. We come to bring you the true peace. There is no peace to the wicked. Those who teach and believe lies are the wicked, for you call God a lie. When you teach contrary to His Word, you call Him a lie. Thus you joined the army of Satan.

If you go back to law or preach for money you become an enemy of God and joined the army of Satan. You think God does not battle? The Word is full of the battles of the Lord. The battle is not ours but the Lords.

Cont.

Psm. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. (Here it said that those who have not believed falsehood and have clean hands and a pure heart are the ones who shall ascend into the holy hill of God. So you had better be clean and know truth. So those of us who try to show you the way of cleanness and truth are in the battle of the Lord.)

5. He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah

7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

8. Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

These gates are the ones who teach the truth which the Apostles taught. See here that the LORD is mighty in battle. So how can one say we must not war? There must be war till Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Wherever Satan and the children of God exist together, there must be war. If you do not war with him, you join sides with him. If you can be at peace with him and his lies, then you are on his side.

Psm. 78:8. And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

9. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

10. They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;

11. And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

See that these were rebellious, as were their fathers. The forgot the works of God during the days of the Apostles. This is prophecy or types of this. See that they were armed and carrying bows but they turned back in the day of battle.

The reason they turned back and could not battle is because they had forgotten His mighty doings and his wondrous works he had shown them in the days of the Apostles.

That is why you today cannot battle and do not want battle; you have forgotten the mighty works of God in the first church. You deny all the power. From such turn away.

Should we battle with Babylon? Read on.

Jer. 49:14. I have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

This is prophecy of when we will destroy this Babylon Church of our day. We must rise up to the battle and tear down her walls so the spiritual true walls of New Jerusalem can be built again.

Jer. 50:22. A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

23. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

This is prophecy all through these last chapters of Jeremiah of the destruction of this Babylon Church of our day. Read the whole chapters if you desire truth. Only the truth can set you free and give you peace in your soul.

Those of us who are now in the battle against her sins and lies are the ones who have heard the true voice of God in his Holy Word. We heard the call to battle and we rose up and went to war. There must be war.

42. They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

43. The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

44. Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd that can stand before me?

[See here I told you we must have the spirit of the lion to be in the LORD’S army. This says that the people in this battle come up as lions against Babylon. That is the lion face on the living creature = the Christians.]

45. Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them out; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

46. At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations.

See here that this battle against Babylon is worldwide? It is heard among the nations.

Jeremiah 51:1. Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.

2. And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

(These strangers who go against Babylon are the true Christians at war with Satan.).

3. Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

4. And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.

5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.

6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.

Now you see here in verse 6, the same call which goes out in Revelation to flee or come out of Babylon. Why is it still repeated in Revelation if it is not at the end of time? This in Jeremiah is only prophecy for this time to come.

7. Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

The nations are mad on their idols. This is also in the Word. So it was Babylon which made her mad on her idols. These churches today are full of idol worship. They have their Santa clauses, their Easter bunnies, and all the other junk of the world. They are Babylon. They are the whore we are at war with. There must be war until the end.

8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

9. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

See here again is the command from God to FORSAKE Babylon.

19. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

20. Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

This tells that Jesus and his people are God’s battle-axe for this war against Babylon. With us he will destroy this entire kingdom of Satan. All churches, which partake of idols and refuse the Holy Ghost and Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins, are part of the Babylon kingdom.

In Isaiah we are told that God sought for a man to stand in the gap and make up the hedge. Jesus was the one who did this. We his true followers also stand in the gap and make up the hedge. What is the hedge? It is the protection of God to his people. He sends his angels to stand and protect us. But he also sends his true ministers (the one preaching truth) to help protect you. So when you fight against the one who teach truth, you are fighting and warring against the army of God.

Does God have an army? Sure he does. Read on.

Joel 2:1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2. A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them.

4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.

5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

6. At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.

7. They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like MEN OF WAR and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks.

Now read the rest of this chapter. It tells of how the army of God, the second anointed witness, will destroy this kingdom of Babylon. We are at war with her. See that it said we blow the trumpet? That is what we started this message with, the people of God sounding the trumpet to show them their sins. Without this, there is only destruction for you. Come out of Babylon lest you be partakers of her plagues.

Obadiah 1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

This is also prophesy against Babylon. Let us go against her in battle. There must be war till they are destroyed out of the earth.

Is this thing of the trumpet and war in the New Testament? Sure it is. Read on:

1Cor. 14:8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

See here again the trumpet sounding and the people preparing themselves for WAR is connected together. We must sound out a clear, truthful message. This is the sounding of the trumpet. It is not a literal musical instrument; it is a message being sounded. This message MUST show the people what sin is. It must show them their sins and compel them to give up their sins, repent, believe the true gospel, be converted and obey the Apostles. Repent and be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, then live a holy, overcoming life until the end of you life. This is the only true way of salvation.

Unless you hear this trumpet message and obey it, destruction is headed your way by the mighty army of God. Yes God has a mighty army unto which he will very soon give the power and thunder out the command to go to battle against Babylon (whore church) and destroy everything which is connected with her. That is why you must come out of her and be not partakers of her sins, lest you also receive of her plagues, which are soon to come.

We, the true ministers of God today, have already heard this call to go against her to battle. We are already sounding out that trumpet message to show you your sins. Unless you hear, heed it and obey, you will be destroyed with her.

Rev. 9: 5. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.

6. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.

7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces.

8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth of lions.

9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.

I would like to use this whole chapter, but it is too much. Read it. This is the army of God going out. We are those locusts and those horses rushing to war. It is the same as in Joel 2. This is the plagues coming upon Babylon. The witnesses of God bring it. We are an army of both men and women. That is why it shows us to have the face of a man and hair like a woman. It shows both men and women in this mighty army of God. This is the same as Psm. 149. Read that chapter with this message. The saints of God will bring all the written judgments against Babylon, the whore church worshipping her idols of x-mas; green decorated trees, rabbits, eggs, new years watch night services, and all the rest of her mess. She is out there among the world selling everything from candy to cook books and chicken and anything else they can get their hands on. They even now have ball teams, go golfing to get money into their treasures and even hold yard sales.

They are in open rebellion to the words of Jesus who said Make not my Father’s house a house of MERCHANDISE.

How can you justify all this selling to get money for a ‘church’? It is not of God. It is of Satan. He is the father of lies and loves money. You are in rebellion to Jesus. I am sounding out that trumpet message right here in this message. You had better heed this warning. This came to me from Almighty God this morning. He put this message into my heart before I got up. I have not eaten today. It is now 1:30 pm. I have sat here all morning looking up Scriptures and writing this message to warn you to flee this Babylon mess. You will not hear. You will mock and scoff to your own destruction.

Wow be to the ones who turn a deaf ear to this message. It is a message from God, not me. If you fail to listen and obey and believe the truth you will forever be cut off from God. If you hold to your churches lies, their parties, x-mess celebrations, their other sins, you will be destroyed with her in that day. This is the trumpet message going out. It is to show you your sins and give you a chance to repent. If you fail to repent, the sword is set to fall upon you and cut you to pieces and grind you to power and the wind of destruction will blow you away.

Rev. 16: 13. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:

14. For they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

15. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)

Now this evil spirit of Satan gathers all of Babylon together against the truth of God. They all go to war. Jesus comes as a thief right here. It is part of Joel 2. They come in at the windows as a thief. This is the people of God at war with Babylon. We are the coming of Jesus as a thief. It is not Jesus coming down in natural clouds and stealing away his bride as the whore church teaches. That is a foolish lie. It is just more of her poison. The army of God is the one who comes to you as a thief. It is Jesus Christ in us.

Rev. 20: 7. And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8. And shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the Four Corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.

10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

See after the 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth, the devil is again loosed and goes out to make war against the people of God. This proves that as long as Satan is alive anywhere there will be war. Light and darkness, truth and lies cannot agree. There must be war between the two until Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Then and only then will there be everlasting peace. Then war will be no more. But do not look for peace now. There must be war.

Can you, will you go to battle on the Lord’s side? If not, you are at war on Satan’s side. Everyone is in one or the other army. We are all either on the Lord’s side or on Satan’s side.

If you keep idol holidays or such things you are on Satan’s side. You are in his army, at war against the people of God who teach truth according to the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

~~ A BASTARDIZED CHURCH ~~

The meaning of ‘bastardized’: Word Origin and History for bastardize

v.

1610s, “to identify as a bastard,” from bastard (q.v.) + -ize. The figurative sense, “to make degenerate, debase” is earlier (1580s), probably because bastard also was serving as a verb meaning “to declare illegitimate”

bastard in the Bible

In the Old Testament the rendering of the Hebrew word _mamzer’_, which means “polluted.” In Deut. 23:2, it occurs in the ordinary sense of illegitimate offspring. In Zech. 9:6, the word is used in the sense of foreigner. From the history of Jephthah we learn that there were bastard offspring among the Jews (Judg. 11:1-7). In Heb. 12:8, the word (Gr.nothoi) is used in its ordinary sense, and denotes those who do not share the privileges of God’s children.

Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary

Hebrews 12:8

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Mat. 16: 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Upon a ‘certain’ rock, or foundation, Christ builds his CHURCH, and the GATES of HELL cannot prevail against that Church. The gates of hell are ministers of LIES, which BASTARDIZE the church, and brings it down to below the status of bring SONS OF GOD.

What is that FOUNDATION? Peter’s answer, that God the Father, which is in heaven, gave to Peter >> thou are the Christ, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

Any other foundation or teaching, brings about bastards and not sons. A bastard never knows his ‘father’. He cannot inherit the estate of his Father.

He does not go by the father’s name. He cannot know or do what his father stands for.

So, let’s investigate the difference between the True Church which is standing on that true foundation, and the bastardized church. It is important to know for sure which one of these ‘churches’ you are part of. Your eternal destination depends on this.

You must go by the Word of God for the right answer. You cannot depend on any man’s words or thoughts. It must be the pure truth of God. God is not going to judge anyone on the sayings of anyone except his very OWN WORD.

Jesus, the spokesman for God, said, study to show yourselves approved to God, rightly dividing the word of Truth. He said search the SCRIPTURES. So this is the one and ONLY means of determining if you are into the true Church, or the bastardized church. The gates of hell have bastardized every visible church in our world today. Only a small remnant remains of the true church today.

Do you KNOW your spiritual Father? Are you very sure? If HE does not fit what Scripture says about him, he is the false dad, and you are a bastard.

1. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. I change not. So is your ‘jesus’ the same today as he was yesterday? If not, you belong to a bastardized church.

a. Jesus healed the sick by pure faith: Does your ‘jesus’ heal the sick today, without the help of man? By pure faith?

(I have actually heard people who ‘claim’ to be ‘christians’ declare that God does NOT heal today. They say you must run to some doctor or a man. These bastards even sneer and mock anyone who still believes that Jesus is the very same healer today, that he was 2,000 years ago.

b. A certain bastardized church puts out their own literature, instead of going by Scripture. In some of their materials, they have published stories and pictures, of a ‘god without hands’. They publicly stated that God has no hands but our, (man’s) hands. They firmly declare that God is helpless today without some man’s hands doing the work for him. They firmly declare that God cannot heal today without some doctor and his medicine. They published a broken statue of their ‘jesus’ without any hands, and their ‘story’ said what a perfect picture this was of showing that their ‘jesus’ is helpless today with OUR HANDS. This is satanic humanism.

Their bastard children rejoice in this false, satanic message, for they do not wish to be associated with anyone who believes in faith healing. I ask, whose hands helped God create the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth? If that God is helpless today, without man’s hands, then whose hands created that sun?

And if God alone created the universe, what rendered him helpless without man’s hands, after God created that man? See, it is a foolish doctrine of DEVILS. Those who believe this satanic message are bastards and their church is a bastardized church.

The bastard members of this bastard church will spend hundreds of dollars, buying the lies which this bastard church or denomination, publishes. Yet these same bastard children will flat refuse to read a free message, which proclaims that Jesus and his Father are still the very same today, as they were in the past or will be in the future.

These bastard children gladly pay hundreds of dollars a month to pay some bastard preacher to tell them their lies, ignoring the fact that the true God said that this is a hireling and cares not for the sheep, but is only after their money. God told us that this thing of buying and selling is the mark of the beast, yet these bastards will fight with all their might to keep this truth hidden from everyone. After all, if the bastard preachers let this truth be known, then he would lose his free-loading money.

Jesus said, FREELY you have received, FREELY give. What did Jesus say to give? Read it. He said, that which you have FREELY received. So the money you labored for is not FREELY RECEIVED. See, these bastard preachers, hirelings, have perverted the Word of God to back up their own evil plans. They have drilled the lie into their bastard members, that it means for the members to give part of their money to the preacher, to pay him to preach. Yet Jesus never taught any such thing. Jesus was telling the MINISTERS to freely GIVE the gifts and messages to others, that God has so freely given to them.

These bastards have totally TURNED this message up-side-down, to make prey off the ones who pay them. The bastard members of this bastardized church will never find truth, for they refuse to even listen to anyone whom God sends to them, bringing truth. They HATE TRUTH. They wish to worship their idols and still be counted as children of God.

They will not read a message such as this one, and therefore they will never hear the truth and come into the light of God. They can read any trashy book, sit for hours watching some trashy movie of playing some silly game, but they cannot take a few minutes to read a message which gives out the truth. Therefore they will be without excuse when they are judged by God and cast into hell fire.

Satan has deceived his bastard church into thinking that as long as they faithfully attend his ‘church-meeting’, and pay his preacher, that they are fine, on their way to heaven, and have need of nothing. They do not obey the true Jesus and study the Word of God, seeking His truth, so they go on believing the lies of this satanic church, for this is what they want. They want their idols and entertainment. They must have the idol holidays, so they refuse a God which DEMANDS them not to do those heathen things to him.

2. Do you know the true Father? Jesus said his Father was in heaven. Jesus said his Father was greater than him. Jesus said, I do always the things which please my Father. Jesus said, touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father and My God. Jesus said, I can of my own self do nothing, but what I see my Father do, I do. Scripture says that Jesus is the son of Joseph, so he had to be speaking of his SPIRITUAL FATHER, which is God.

a. The bastard church claims there are three different people making up one god. They say all three people are equals. Yet Jesus said, My Father is greater than I. Jesus said His God was a SPIRIT. Jesus said, a spirit has not flesh and bone as ye see me have. So Jesus clearly did not claim to be God or the Father.

So now examine which of these things you believe: what Jesus said, or what your bastard church says.

Then there is a bastard church which declares that the one and only person who is God, left heaven and got into Mary and became a helpless human baby. Yet this baby had no spirit or mind of his own, for his God was his own spirit. This then makes Mary to be the mother of a god. Yet they flat deny that Mary is mother of God. so confused! This is a BASTARDIZED CHURCH. They cannot bring their lies into harmony with the Word of God. So they just ignore the Word of God.

The one thing that ties all of these bastard churches together is: the lie of an incarnate god and keeping the heathen HOLIDAYS.

That, egg hunts, tree decorating, gift exchanging, to celebrate their ‘god’s birth and death, and resurrection, is the SURE MARK OF BEING A BASTARD, SATANIC CHURCH.

GOD..HAS…NEVER…BEEN …BORN… OR DIED…OR HAD TO BE…RESURRECTED.

Jesus said: Mark 16: 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Here, Jesus clearly shows that baptism is part of being saved. Yet the bastard churches flat deny this. They do set their bastard preacher’s words above the word of Jesus, whom they claim to know and believe in. Why then do they call him a lie?

Jesus said, certain signs shall follow those who BELIEVE. they shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; lay hands on the sick and they shall recover..etc. Yet the very people who claim that all they must do to be saved is just say I BELIEVE……and these same people flat DENY all of these signs. So they do call Jesus a LIE. Their bastard preachers tell them, oh that was just for the apostles. Yet Jesus said it was for all who BELIEVE. Either they lie when they say the BELIEVE, or they call Jesus a lie…that these signs do NOT follow believers.

The bastardized church claims that baptism is only to show they believe and to join a church. Yet not one word is ever stated in all of God’s word, to join any church. It is satanic doctrine. Those who believe these lies are bastards and not children of God. The gifts of the spirit are for all of God’s children, yet these bastard churches claim it was only for the early apostolic church. See the baptism of the Holy Ghost and these powerful gifts is the sure mark of being a true church of God, so to be without this, is to be bastardized or to be below the status of a church of God, or to have lost all that power.

3. Jesus said, my sheep KNOW my VOICE and they follow me and a stranger they will not follow, for they know not the voice of strangers. In order to KNOW HIS VOICE, he must SPEAK TO US. Yet these bastard children hate the very thought of a God who SPEAKS to his children. I declare to you, that if your ‘god’ does not speak to you, lead you with his Spirit, then you are a bastard and not a child of the true God.

In their mind, their god is a deaf and dumb idol, for he cannot speak to them. How then can God teach you, if he cannot and will not speak to you? How are you his child, if He never speaks to you? And if He is speaking to you and leading you with his Spirit, how is it that you cannot come into his truth, which fits his written Word, and come out of the lies of the harlot church, which has brought forth BASTARD CHILDREN?

Those who ‘think’ they know god, and yet cannot come into his truth, cannot read his Word and learn his Truth, for they know not the voice of the God whose word it is. They are not his child, so they do not know his LANGUAGE. The words of the book have no meaning to them, for they are of a foreign language to them. God has to teach you his language in order to be able to read his Word, and understand what it is saying. How else could so many millions of folks read the same book and never come out of their darkness and lies? How is it that they go on year after year believing the lies of the bastard church?

4. The true church knows that God declared there would be no more prophets after John the Baptist. They also know that God did away with the OT Law system. Yet these bastard children would not depart with this OT system for anything. They hold that they must still run to some ‘prophet’ to hear from God. They sneer at anyone who declares that God speaks to us personally and we need no prophet to intercede between God and us. We know that we can come boldly to the throne of Grace/God, and He will teach us himself. Woe to anyone who clings to this bastard church and refuse the truth of God.

Go back to the meaning of bastardized. It means to be illegitimate and polluted, a foreigner to God, and living beneath the privileges of a child of God. So all of the churches today fit this description. They live beneath what Jesus said would be signs of being believers. They do not believe in the power of God for us today, so they are bastards.

How are you polluted?

Jesus said be ye holy and clean, abolishing the filth of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of God. God said be holy for I am holy. Yet the bastard churches claim that no one can be holy; no one can live without sin and be clean. See, they are polluted. They are unclean, claiming to have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Liars, they are.

5. God demanded for his people not to attempt to do anything to him which the heathens do to their gods. Deut 12.

Job 3 declares that God abolished the day of the birth of Jesus. Jer 10, expressly forbids setting up trees and decorating them. He declared that this is the word of the Lord, not his own words. God said this is the way heathens worship their idol gods, do not do this to me.

Jer 20 agrees with Job 3, and said, (being the word of the Lord)… let not the day of my birth be blessed. This is three witnesses of God demanding us not to partake of such ungodly stuff as celebrating the birth of the son of God and especially with gift giving and tree decorating.

Yet the bastard churches WOULD NOT THINK OF GIVING UP THEIR HEATHEN HOLIDAYS. Yes, you are bastards and not sons, no matter how often you run to your little theater church building, and no matter how much you claim to speak in tongues or such, your lives prove you are bastards and not sons. Some of the bastard church leaders even teach their deceived followers to FAKE TONGUES in order to pretend they have the Holy Ghost. And believe it or not, these deceived folks do that thing and teach it to others. They could NOT believe in the truth of this, and fake it. Why fake it, if you believe there is a true gift? I know and have the true gift; never believed in faking it. It can only be ministers of satan who would declare this thing to children seeking the Holy Ghost. I .. HAVE… HEARD… THIS …WITH MY OWN EARS, FROM A MINISTER THAT MANY HOLD UP AS A GREAT MAN OF GOD. SO MUCH DECEPTION.

This bastard church claims to celebrate the resurrection of their ‘god’ by doing another heathen idol holiday = easter. Yes, say they, we must do egg hunts and all such mess, to honor the resurrection of our god. They even set up this heathen mess in their church buildings and expect the true God to accept them and their idol worship. Deceived and being deceived. The GATES OF HELL HAVE PREVAILED AGAINST THIS BASTARDIZED CHURCH.

You, bastard church, claim to be rich and in need of nothing; yet you are naked, poor, miserable, blind and do not even know it. Which church? Any you deny that Jesus is still the same today, that we need a prophet today, that you can still sin and be right with God, that Jesus does not heal today, that you can do your HEATHEN HOLIDAYS and God will accept you in this sin. You are deceived and a bastard. If you were a true child of God, you would seek for his truth, open up your heart to receive his truth and turn from your lies and sins. If you partake of these bastard church, you are part of it and will receive of her plagues.

Meeting in the Air

By: Jo Smith ~~~~~~~ August 7, 2020

In order to understand Scripture you must read it SPIRITUAL. You must learn what the ‘carnal’ words that you read really mean SPIRITUALLY. Else you are carnal minded, (natural interpretation), and that carnal mind is death. It is enmity to God.

Here is the spiritual meaning of the word, AIR, according to Strong’s concordance:

1) that which goes forth, army, war, warfare, host

1a) army, host

1a1) host (of organised army)

1a2) host (of angels)

1a3) of sun, moon, and stars

1a4) of whole creation

1b) war, warfare, service, go out to war

1c) service

I am not going to look up and quote many scriptures in this message for I want to get it done quickly. If you ever read it you will know this anyway.

Scripture says that we meet the Lord in the AIR and so shall we ever be with Him. It also says that satan is the prince of the power of the air.

So this cannot be speaking of up in space or any of that carnal stuff. Air is warfare. Air is where the battle is going on.

Air is an army. This is the only thing that has ever made sense of this to me. Now I see it. Wanna and I were studying this today. She asked me what the air is. I said I do not know right now. We must study it and seek for the answer. We did and God gave it to us as He promised to do.

I wrote a good, long message years ago called, There must be war. And this is so true. We must be at war with satan and his lies and his lying preachers and churches. They have taken away all knowledge of any truth. We must bring back the truth so people can truly be SAVED.

Believing lies is not going to save anyone. Church folks who are tiny babes, just run to some meeting and watch a show, listen to someone else, pay someone, go home forget it, are not fit to be in any army. You must be deep in the truth of God’s word to be in this army. Hebrews tells us that you must have your senses exercised to discern between good and evil, to be deep in the word, to not be babes, eating milk. But you must be able to eat STRONG MEAT of the Word, to be in this army.

When you think that meeting the Lord in the Air means being snatched up off this earth and carried off to some ‘yonder’ land, you are into fables and lies. A person believing this lie cannot possibly be in any battle with Satan.

The word, CLOUDS, means a large crowd. The Word said, the weapons of our WARFARE are not natural, carnal, but Spiritual. So you must have a spiritual mind and know the word of God, be strong in faith, bold, to be in this army of God, to battle Satan and his army.

Genesis 1: 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

Fowl that fly above the ‘earth’ in the open firmament of heaven. Not the Heaven where God dwells, but the heaven where these Witnesses sit. Apostles were that first group or cloud of witnesses and they were the fowls flying around in this firmament.

The second group of witnesses will be the other fowl flying in the air, fighting that battle of the Lord. We are now fighting this battle, trying to bring you fish of the sea out into the open wilderness. Then you can stop feeding your BEAST of the field that is robbing you of your money and eternal life. He is that evil one that we must defeat in order to win this battle or war.

Until you understand these terms, spiritually you will never understand what Scripture is telling us.

2 Peter 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 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, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 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.

False prophets, bringing in damnable heresies, covetous, make MERCHANISE of you.

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

natural brute beasts,

The above are the BEAST OF THE FIELD. See that it also identifies them as CLOUDS? THEY ARE wells. THEY ARE NATURAL BRUTE BEASTS. These are the BEAST that Scripture speaks of. Yet almost everyone of you are looking for some mysterious ONE person to show up and that is the beast. Nothing but deception.

They lie, cheat, commit adultery, all the while lifting themselves up as your pastor, prophet, minister; but they covet your money. You must PAY THEM. This is the MARK OF THE BEAST. He is a BEAST, and follows the way of Balaam who loved the WAGES of unrighteousness. It is unrighteous to take pay for a supposed work for God. It is the mark that this person is a BEAST.

Proof that they at one time learned the way of righteousness; (but they sold out for lust; money).

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Now let Jude also tell us what the BEAST IS:

JUDE: 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. [Look at all the identification here: they covet reward; they are spots in your ‘feasts’; they are trees, waves of the sea,,proving they are part of the SEA. They are the sea and you are a fish in their sea. ]

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

See, again saying they are BEASTS, running in the way of Cain and greedily after the error of Balaam for REWARD. This is that PAID PREACHER. He is the beast of the field and is set for total destruction. When you pay them and listen to them and believe their lies, you also have that mark of the beast. Let no one tell you it is some foolish computer chip of any other manmade devise.

That paid beast is who is deceiving you into believing that you are going to be snatched up off this earth and go off up to heaven to be with Jesus. But let Scripture tell you how Jesus comes to us:

11Thes: 1: 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

2 Thessalonians 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 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;

4 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. ~~ [this is your paid beast or pastor; he sets himself up to be worshipped or idolized and you love it].

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. ~~[I am revealing them right now.]

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This clearly says that Jesus will come AFTER the working of satan and his lying signs and wonders. He is coming in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, but paid that preacher to lie to them. They will be damned for believing that lying mouth. This is when Psalms 149 will be fulfilled. This is when we go out to meet Jesus and join him in his Army to battle satan and take down the evil kingdoms on this earth and cast them into that lake of fire. That BATTLE, or war, is the AIR that we are caught up into. We are not leaving this earth to go anywhere. Those CLOUDS are the great crowd of WITNESSES, who will be in the army of the Word.

See that is said, we are gathered to him, when he comes to earth in this flaming fire. Gathered to him. How can you miss this? Not going off into space; gathering to meet him here, in the air, which is the battle between satan and his army and Jesus and his army. It is clearly taught in Revelation. No excuse for all these lies to have almost every church person on earth deceived.

Jesus told his disciples, ‘I will make you FISHERS of MEN’….. thus clearly identifying those lost masses of folks, to be the sea and the fish in that sea.

He has also clearly identified that BEAST OF THE FIELD as covetous men who make MERCHANDISE OF YOU. They are wolves in sheep clothing, lusting for reward or MONEY. They must be paid to tell you a thing. All that they tell you is LIES TO DAMN YOUR SOULS.

The Witnesses of Jesus, are the ones who are deep in the Word and strong to be in the battle, are the FOWLS OF THE AIR. We are the ones who are able to battle in this warfare and defeat satan. It is that battle of Armageddon.

The coming as a ‘thief’ is described in Joel 2. It is this same cloud of witnesses, going to battle against satan and snatching some of the saints out of that lukewarm church. He said we come in at the windows like a thief. We are going to reach into your eyes, spiritually and bring you out of that destruction.

We who are in this army, are not in darkness that that day should overtake us as a thief. We are of the LIGHT and know what time it is. We know that Jesus is coming and we are going to gather to him and defeat every sinner off this earth. Then the whole earth will have rest and be quiet. What a glorious day that will be.

The woman in Revelation 12 is this mature group of witnesses. We will be given two WINGS of an EAGLE to FLY. We will be the one who flies into the wilderness and saves those deceived sheep. We will be the fowls of the AIR. The AIR is this battlefield. It is not off into space. It is happening RIGHT NOW. I am battling satan and his lies and lying paid preachers right now. I am screaming, get out, stop your idol worship. Stop your lies. Stop paying that preacher; it is the mark of the BEAST. It is their mark that they are the beast of the field who will be taken and DESTROYED.

I have read and studied this before. But we will study it again. Because some words that I read in this chapter led me to study other words in the bible. And that is what I was doing at 3 A.M. this morning.

Let us get into these few verses:

1¶And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

First of all when you see the Son of Man in scriptures, it is speaking of Jesus. You can believe all you want that the Bible is only speaking of history and was telling a story of long ago. And does not apply to us today. But every Word that comes out of God’s mouth applies to us right here and right now. For you to believe that the Bible is a history book will not bring you to eternal salvation.

I would like to discuss the rest of this verse.

Who is Tyrus? Can anyone tell me who or What Tyrus is?

The Israelites came up to the very border of Cannan, looked over into it, saw the beauty and the blessings, but turned and walked away in UNBELIEF.
Thus they failed to make it into Cannan.

They looked right over into the promised land, turned and walked away from it in unbelief!

Many, many people have come in here, Build on the True Foundation, looked over into the promised land of true revelation, and turned and walked away in unbelief, to wander around in a wilderness of confusion for the rest of their lives!
What a shame!

Many folks who are deceived by law, Sabbath Keeping and such, have come in here and seen the truth of Grace taught, but they turned and walked away into the darkness and blindness of law, to wander around in confusion the rest of their lives.

Many trinity folks have come in here and seen the absolute proof that this is a false teaching, with not one word of its teaching written in the Word of God. But they also turned and walked away into the darkness and blindness of lies and confusion. They reject the Word of God for the lies of Satan.

Also many jesus-only folks have come in there and seen the full proof that their teaching is anti-christ and has not one single Scriptural proof in it. They have seen that there is no way Jesus could be his own father, yet they turn and walk away after the lies of Satan. I asked them questions which, if they tried to answer, would prove beyond a doubt that they are holding to false teachings. Yet instead of seeking the real truth, they turn and walk away into the night of false doctrine.

They will all wander around in their wilderness of confusion until they lose their souls in hell fire, for full well they reject the Word of God for lies.

What a shame!

Betty Jo Cooper Smith

~~~~~ The true Seed ~~~~~

God does not go by what kind of human body one has, as to whether He will use that person with His Word. He goes by the Spirit that person has.

The WOMAN represents our flesh, Our spiritual flesh; not our human flesh. This is my spirit. See, this is totally different from my human flesh, or body. It has not one thing to go with what kind of body I am in. I am inside this body; I am not this body; it is only a house I live in. Get this, people. If you do not get this, you will never understand Scripture.

Now, my spiritual flesh, your spiritual flesh has within it a SEED, which was placed there by God, when He filled us with His Spirit. That Spirit is His Seed to bring forth a man child to God in me. In You.

Listen to this; a sinner is a human being just as you and I are. BUT the sinner does not have spiritual flesh as you and I have —- a sinner does not have that SEED of Life growing inside them.

The WOMAN with CHILD — in Rev. 12:2– is us, His SAINTS, in whom He has placed His SEED, the life from the MAN which impregnates the female ( our spiritual flesh)– and brings forth the child. This child is a combination of both the Father (Jesus) and the Mother (me).

Now inside me, there is both myself, Jo, and there is Christ, being formed in me (the womb, spiritually)– One of them, Me, is me. It is my natural self, which I must bring into subjection to my Husband, Jesus. But the other one inside me, is that man child, Christ in us, the hope of glory.

The glory which we are hoping for is that this man child will reach maturity inside my womb, and come to the birth, = the resurrection into that glorified body. Then that CHILD will come FORTH in the likeness of HIS FATHER, JESUS.

But it will still be me. Get it? I do hope so.

Only then, I will no longer be hindered by this earthly flesh – I will be like unto His glorious body, he had after his resurrection. I will be like the resurrected Christ.

My human flesh must go into that wilderness, and grow up spiritually, by obeying the Word. I am nourished by that word, the ‘vitamins’ my little man child needs to mature and come to the birth. Make no mistake about it, I have a child of Jesus growing inside me. I am with CHILD. I will bring forth a CHILD in the likeness of Jesus. For I will nourish my spiritual ‘fetus’ what it needs to mature into the likeness of Jesus, His Father.

When He gave me the Holy Ghost, this is when He KNEW me and put his spirit, (seed) into me.

Glory. Praise the Lord for His truth. So see, when He said for a woman not to teach, he is referring to those still in the human flesh, not impregnated by His seed. For if one is pregnant with the child of Jesus, then it is no longer I that speak, but he speaking inside me. It is not female, it is the man child = a male.

If you speak from the flesh, you are female, thereby forbidden to teach. It makes not one bit of difference what kind of human tabernacle one is in —– it is which spiritual flesh are you. If you do not have the true Holy Ghost teaching you, then you cannot teach; for you are female –men.

If you have the Holy Ghost teaching you, you can teach, for it is male – women. The Holy Ghost speaking in you is a HE.

It depends on which spirit one is speaking by – self or the Holy Ghost. You are forbidden to speak from your flesh; you must speak by the Holy Ghost. Women with the Holy Ghost can teach; for it is a male doing the teaching.

Men without the Holy Ghost are forbidden to teach, for it is not the spirit, but a ‘female’ to God.

All flesh is ‘FEMALE’ to God. All Spirit is MALE = the life. Your flesh is dead. Only the Spirit gives us life.

God gives us all, Men and Women alike, His seed, in our ‘flesh’ = the spiritual womb- to bring forth a man child. So to God all flesh is female. This human, dust creation is all female to God. That is why all flesh is forbidden to teach; it must come from the Spirit of God. If God does not put His spirit into a man, that man if forbidden to teach God’s word; for it would be female = human, doing it.

If God places His Seed, = Spirit – inside a woman, she is able to teach His Word, for it is no longer a ‘female’ to God, it is a male = His Spirit doing the teaching.

Proof: 1Peter 3;4— Peter speaking to women —But let it be the hidden MAN OF THE HEART, is that which is not corruptible, (see he is saying a woman Christian, has a man

inside her heart (spirit) which in incorruptible- not human(—even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

This man inside her, can teach the word of God.

Now don’t you see from this that a woman who is a true Christian, has a MAN, which is incorruptible, inside her? This ought to be plain enough for anyone to see.

You men must receive the SEED OF GOD inside yourself, become ‘pregnant’ by God, in order to become a SON of God. This makes you ‘female’ to God. He puts His Seed into you. If you do not have this ‘relationship’ of husband and wife with God, same as a woman, you are none of His. You must become ‘wife’ to God.

Henceforth, know we no one after the FLESH.

Come to the spirit.

Jeremiah 50

50 The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

Jesus said, Nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. So there are two main nations; not our individual earthly nations, but the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of Jesus Christ. So this is the focus here in this chapter.

You must pray for a Spiritual mind. You cannot understand truth when you read it and think of it as natural, or carnal. All Scripture is spiritual and must be spiritually discerned, or understood. As long as someone sees it and tells it as natural, the same thing as carnal, this is the serpents mind or way of thinking.

So to think that this is speaking of earthly or natural nations will take you into a totally mistaken idea. The two nations here are Satan’s kingdom and the kingdom of Jesus Christ.

We know that Babylon is Satan’s kingdom. Satan or Adam is the king of Babylon. His kingdom began on the other side of the flood and he was known then, in Scripture, as the Assyrian. Eze said the Assyrian was a Cedar in Lebanon. So here, Lebanon is the same as the Garden of Eden.

You might say this is not true, but from many years of studying the Word of God and having His Anointing teaching me, I have learned that this is true coming from a secret language, known only to a few.

So where did Babylon begin? It began after the flood in that Leopard kingdom as men began seeking the secrets of God so that they could return to the longevity they had had on the other side of the flood. They wanted to make themselves live forever, apart from God. So that is the first time in Scripture that Babylon shows up.

I want to show you something mysterious and powerful here. The very first time the word, ‘Babylon’ shows up in Scripture is this: 2 Kings 17:24

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

See that this king of Assyria, (Adam/satan), brought men from Babylon and other places and placed them in the cities of Samaria INSTEAD OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. [the same thing is going on in America right now; our satan is bringing in strangers to place them in America instead of us]. So from then on, the Samaritans are really all these other peoples, not Israelites.

Why did God bring in these heathen people to replace the Israelites? It was because of their worship of IDOLS.

But this chapter is dealing with the destruction of Babylon, not Samaria. So why did God send someone to destroy Babylon? Same reason, their worship of IDOLS. [watch out church, you are next].

Notice Jer 50: 2, Babylon is taken, her IDOLS are broken in pieces. So who broke those idols in pieces? Watch.

3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

A nation out of the north comes against old Babylon and makes her land DESOLATE. Here is your CLUE! Who made them DESOLATE? Any idea?

Before you read on, ask yourself and see if you know this answer. If not, ask God to give you a love for his Word and begin studying it in earnest, or end up in the kingdom of Satan/hell.

In Scripture North shows heaven. It also shows law. But in this case it is speaking of heaven. But of course as we shall see, law is also in this reason for desolation.

So who made them DESOLATE? For the answer go to Mat 23:

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

Jesus is the one who broke her idols and made her land desolate. In the original kingdom in Eden, there was a mysterious one whose name was Jerusalem. See, Jerusalem means a lot more than the earthly city which was renamed, Jerusalem. That earthly carnal city is NOT who this is about.

So then it is easy to see that it is the kingdom of Jesus Christ which comes from the North and makes her land desolate and breaks into her idols. The kingdom of Satan, known as Babylon, exists from shortly after the Flood of Noah until the coming of Jesus Christ.

Since the birth of Jesus Christ those two kingdoms have been fighting each other. Peter and others of his day declared that they were in the LATTER days. Yet people still cannot think of that as the ending of days. Yet it is still in God’s timing, just two days of war. We are still in that war of kingdom against kingdom. We who try to warn others of the lies of man and bring you to the real truth are the few still fighting on Christ’s side.

The rest of the idol-worshipers are fighting as soldiers of the kingdom of Satan. Many try to pretend to be of Christ in order to deceive others. Their lies are their sword or arrows. Our truth is our sword or arrows.

Jer. 50: 4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.

Israel is known as the ten-tribe nation of Samaria and Judah is the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin. When did these people get together to seek the Lord? It will finally happen when Jesus returns to earth and sets up his Kingdom here on earth. Then they will see the truth and forsake their idols. It began on the Day of Pentecost.

5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

Here they finally come together as one Kingdom, all the people of God, as the true Israel of God. Again remember it is not the natural people that we call Israel. It is back to the heavenly Jerusalem or Israel.

6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

What was their resting place? It was Jesus or having the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of Jesus. The ‘shepherds’ of false teachers caused them to lose that glory that came on the day of Pentecost and return to their idols and lies.

7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

If you take this back to OT folks you will miss the truth here. It is speaking about the fake pastors who took over after Pentecost and led them into Catholicism, Baptist, Methodist, and all the others, for Money. They lied and lied and took away their knowledge of truth and power and holy living.

8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

This is the call to come out of her, my people.

9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

This verse is the fulfillment of Psalm 149 and Rev 9. It is the army of God with the baptism of Fire bringing the wrath of the Lamb against this sinful world. The ARROWS of an expert man, goes to that first seal when Jesus is given the BOW in order to go forth and conquer. He is conquering the evil Babylon. HIs Arrows are his powerful WORDS.

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.

11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

Jesus is speaking here to the false teachers, popes, priests, pastors, etc. who got rich robbing His people with their lies and CHARGING FOR THEIR ‘SERVICE’. Now Jesus will spoil Chaldea or those evil churches.

12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. [the church that bear you is a dry land, valley of dry bones, no life, no pure word, no water baptism in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins. That is so dry it is a desert.]

13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: everyone that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

This is clearly the same as Psalm 149; it is the true people of God with the power of Fire coming out of their mouths to destroy the evil off this earth. It is the wrath of the Lamb coming against this evil fake religion.

14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.

15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

This is the call to the Army of God in Joel 2 and Rev 9 to go forth and shoot your ARROWS at her. The ARROWS are our powerful words spoken in judgment and destruction of the sinful kingdom of Babylon/Satan/ Adam. Also church. It has taken on many names and the last one is church.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land.

Who is the sower? It is their preachers. They are the ones handling the sickle in the time of harvest. They are trying to harvest the money from the people with their false message of tithing your wages. God never once said to tithe your wages. They under the old law tithed corn, wine, oil, cumin, etc. never money.

Before I give this next verse, I wish to remind you of something. Remember when Joseph was sold into Egypt, he said he heard a language which he did not understand. The reason people and false teachers cannot see the truth of this chapter and all Scripture, is that it is a strange language that they do not understand. Only the anointing of God can open this Scripture Language up to anyone. It takes a lot of study to learn this language. Casual reading will never give you this.

Now the Apostle began this work of cutting off the sower from Babylon. Jesus told them the harvest is now. See they were to cut off those who taught law and bondage and harvest a fresh crop with the Truth that Jesus taught. But we are now at another time of harvest. We have now gone through another time of sowers sowing lies and false, corrupt seeds. They now wish to harvest all that they can steal from the people of God. But there is a new group of warriors COMING forth to cut off those who want to handle the sickle and reap these people for satan.

This new Army of Christ is taught in Joel 2. Those people of God with the FIRE coming out of our Mouths are God’s weapons of War and so we will cut off those who are sowing lies. We will continue to show you your sins and danger in hopes of saving your soul. Blow that trumpet; show my people their sins.. . a job that is hated by the people. But it must be done. I was chosen by God to be one of them.

17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

The reason I told you that about the LANGUAGE that you do not understand is there is no way a carnal-minded person, or one who only sees it as natural, earthly stuff, will ever be able to discern the real truth presented here.

If you do not know this LANGUAGE of Scripture

You will never get this:

The LION is that first head over mankind. It is ADAM. He is also known as the Assyrian or king of Assyria. It is before the flood of Noah. That time is the LION KINGDOM or head.

SEE THEN that Israel was God’s people before the flood. It was long before there was an earthly Israel or Jacob. This Israel was the people who served the true God and not Adam/Satan.

So then the LIONS or those who worshiped Adam as God drove this first group of Israelites away. Adam/satan is this first King of Assyria. Again it is not the earthly Assyria. It is the same as the LION kingdom. Before the Flood. They devoured the true worshippers of God. From Eve and Abel on down the true Israel of God were persecuted and murdered. For full proof of this just go back and read Mat. 23. Jesus said, Jerusalem killed all the saints including Abel.

See that first the king of Assyria devoured God’s people, and last this king of Babylon hath broken his bones. The last king is the false religion on this side of the flood beginning with Nimrod.

God then promised that He will punish this king of Babylon, (or the false prophets, preachers, etc) of today as He punished the king of Assyria or that world before the flood. As surely as God sent a flood and destroyed that evil kingdom, He is going to now destroy this evil kingdom of Satan, false religion off this earth.

19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.

20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

This now picks up with the crucifixion of Jesus and the beginning of SALVATION and forgiveness of sins and cleansing of the people.

21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

The above is showing the judgment ministry of the second witness with Fire coming out of our mouths to devour the wicked off this earth. It is speaking of all the different false religions which we will destroy off this earth.

24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.

25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.

Remember the SNARE is now on the earth. It is this. God opened his ARMOURY. We are his weapons of War, not guns, not bombs, not knives, but his POWERFUL SPOKEN WORD.

We who believe and know his Word and have his Word coming out of our mouths are this ARMOURY. We are his weapons of indignation. The word clearly shows this. God does not use guns or bombs, which are man-made evil things. He speaks through his people and the power of the Fire of his Jealousy destroys his enemies, which all these denominations are. You churches who say, decorate green trees, Cedars, yes, and celebrate the ‘birthday’ of our false Jesus….. then Easter egg hunts for this false Jesus….halloween to honor devils and witches,,,, yes, you. Are the ones to be destroyed. Not with bombs but with Fire Words.

Open her storehouses. See she should never have had a storehouse. That is OT law doings. Let nothing of her be left. Glory. Let it be soon. The sooner this false, idol-worshiping money-loving false church is gone the better. Then the inhabitants of the world will learn true RIGHTEOUSNESS.

27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

This is a command to kill her popes, her false prophets, pastors, etc. Yes, their time has come.

28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple.

29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.

31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

The archers are those under the first seal with their bow and arrow,,, it is the Words of Power to destroy. The liars. We will cut off all the proud and the false shepherds in that day. You need to realize that this began on the Day of Pentecost and continues all the way to the end of this age when the kingdom of Jesus Christ will fill the world and there will be no more lies told; no more wars.

32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

This Fire is not natural but the baptism of Fire which gives power to the second witness to destroy the wicked off this earth.

33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

Who took them captive? The Catholics, the Baptists, the methodist, and all the other false religions. They taught you lies and forced fear on you so you could never see the truth and be set FREE.

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

You know who this is….. Jesus said, come unto me and I will give you rest. He it is also that disquiets the inhabitants of Babylon. You who love your idols, this is you.

35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.

37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.

This takes in all the wicked ones in the false religions. That Sword of the Lord, his true Word will take away everything that you have falsely robbed into your treasures. You rich preachers are coming down with a big crash.

38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

Her waters? Her teaching and the right baptism for the remission of sins. She who loves her Santa, all her idols will have no truth and no true remissions of sins. She refused to be baptized in the name of Jesus, supposed to be her savior.

39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

Those wild beasts are your false preachers, who must have money and lots of it to preach their lies to you. They are owls and evil creatures. No true Son of man will dwell in your false religions.

41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

This great nation is the kingdom of Jesus Christ and the kings are those who have the true Spirit of Christ since he said he had made us to be priests and KINGS in his kingdom.

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, everyone put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

See here it goes back to that first seal of our going forth to conquer with the bow and lance. You think it is evil because they roar like the SEA? NO WE WILL DO TO THEM AS THEY HAVE DONE. That is our commission. Why will we show no mercy? Because they have loved idols and rejected the mercy offered to them by Jesus. He has now closed that door so we must now follow his order to destroy Babylon.

43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

The king of Babylon is Adam, but it is all who take the part of Adam, flesh and refuse to become Spiritual and Holy in obedience to God’s word.

44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

Of course, that true Shepherd is Jesus. He will make this lion of the ages to be destroyed forever. Adam, your destruction is at hand.

45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

The least of the true flock of Jesus our shepherd, will draw those Chaldeans out and make their habitation desolate with them. They will be no more; they will now be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. Yes, the whole earth will hear this noise and be moved. Thank God for this promise to finally destroy Satan, first the Assyrian in the flood and now the Babylon in this fire judgment. Satan, your kingdom is falling; coming down. I, for one of the least of the flock, now speak it is FAITH.

The Dowry
Today is Jan. 16, 2004 at 5:15AM. I want to make this note before starting the message. I just like to keep these things for my own personal memory of the origin of the message.
I stayed on the computer until after 1AM this morning. I had typed so much my fingers and hands hurt almost to the point of not being usable. I had trouble going to sleep. At 3:30AM I awoke. I could not go back to sleep; my stomach was not feeling good, so I went to my kitchen to drink a little soda water. As I stood there drinking it, the Lord spoke to me and gave me this message of the dowry.
Up until this very morning I did not know just what a dowry is. I did not really understand the word ‘endued’. As I stood there God gave me more on this. I knew this is how my most anointed messages always come. I knew I get His anointing as I sacrifice sleep and come to the computer and type up what He gives me. If I sleep on it, many times I will forget it. But this time I was just too tired to do it. So I went back to bed. I lay there a few minutes, but could not go back to sleep. My mind kept receiving more on this message. So at 5AM I again arose and knew I must come and do this message.
I have only had 1 1/2 hours sleep. So I ask all who read this to remember me in prayer. I know my God promised to meet all my needs according to his riches in glory. Health comes from God, not what I eat or how I sleep. Every time this happens to me, I always say thank you Jesus for not letting me sleep. This is better than sleep anytime.
Now to the message.
Dowry: — The first meaning listed in the Webster’s for dowry is the property, which a woman brings to her husband in marriage. But there is also another meaning. = A gift of money or property by a man to or for his bride.
Dower: — But we also need the meaning of dower. = The part of or interest in real estate of a DECEASED husband given by law to his widow during her life.
Curtesy: –The opposite of dower is curtesy. = A husband’s interest upon the death of his wife in the real property of an estate that she either solely owned or inherited provided they bore a child capable of inheriting the estate.
Now I am telling you there is marvelous revelation is this.
Another meaning for dower is: – to supply with a dower or dowry: endow.
Endow: –to furnish with an income; ESP: to make a grant of money providing for the continuing support or maintenance of. 2: to furnish with a dower. 3: to provide with something freely or naturally.
Endue or endued: — provide, endow. 2: – transfuse.
Transfuse: – to cause to pass from one to another: transmit. Permeate. 2: a transfusion – to transfer (as blood) into a vein of a person or animal.
Now I have never done a message with this many dictionary meanings brought into it before. But it is absolutely necessary to understand this message to get the meanings of these words.
It is evident from the meanings of these words that we are discussing something concerning a marriage or wedding.
The union of Christ and his people is likened to a marriage. But what is it in reality? Now we know that it does not mean a natural wedding or marriage in the sense of what we humans have as marriage. So it must be something spiritual which is in the same pattern or like a human wedding or marriage.
Lets start with the dowry. It lists first the property a woman brings to her husband at the marriage. So first who is this bride? She is the human beings who give their life to Jesus and serve his. To be his wife she must give of herself to him. She must give up her own right to live her life to please herself and life it to please him. She must give him her everything and not hold anything back. This then is her dowry to him. She has no other property she can give him. She has nothing prior to marrying him. Herself is her dowry to him. This is all she has which he desires.
But the other meaning of dowry is the gift of money or property the husband gives to his wife at marriage. So now what is the dowry the husband, Jesus gives to his wife?
We must let His Word give us the answers.
Now look at the meaning of dower. This is marvelous. It is the part of or interest in real estate of a deceased husband given to his widow during her life. We were endowed with an endower. This means God gave us an endower, which was Jesus. Jesus was our husband, which died. He died on the cross. At that time we were as widows. We had nothing to keep us ‘living’. Jesus provided that we be cared for after his death during our lifetime.
Jesus died in order to be able to give us his own property or power in our lifetime. This is the dower. He gave us the right to all that was his to have in our lifetime here on earth. This means we do not have to wait until our own death to inherit all that was his. He freely gave us all that was his before his death. He provided for our needs here in this life by his dower.
So what was his dower? Lets start with Mark 16: 17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
    The use of the power in his name is his gift to us. This is his dower. He gave us provision right here for our needs: cast out devils, speak with new tongues, serpents or deadly things will not hurt us, we can heal the sick. This is a marvelous dowry.
    Gen. 30: 20. And Leah said God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
    Leah loved her husband, Jacob. But Jacob had not loved Leah, he loved Rachel. Leah had nothing to offer Jacob at her wedding. But now she has born him six sons. She called this a good dowry, which God had endued or provided her with. Now she has given to her husband something of great value of her life, her six sons.
    We must bear ‘sons’ to our husband, Jesus. This is to be our dowry to him.
    Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
    Now Jesus, our husband told them to tarry at Jerusalem until ye be endued or transfused with power from on high. This was his dowry to us. This was his dower to us. He gave us this after his death, but it is a gift to us when we marry him. His dowry was this power from on high to do what he had done and more.
    All these gifts or dowry comes in or by or through the use of his name. The power or dowry is in the name. We can only tap into this dowry or power if we carry his name. The only way of doing this is to be baptized in water in the name of the husband, Jesus. This is the marriage. This is when we receive the name of the husband. We are then baptized into his body and he puts his spirit into our body. This is the marriage. This is when we become his bride or wife.
    Unless we know him (marital relationship) and he knows us, we are not his wife. Unless you are baptized in his name, receive his spirit through the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you have not married him.
    By one spirit are we baptized into his body. There is no other way. I am dealing first with Jesus’ dowry to us. He said he ascended up on high and gave gifts to men. This is his dowry.
    Acts 2:1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
19. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
20. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
21. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
    Now there is where he kept his promise and gave them his gift of the Holy Ghost. This fulfilled the prophesy in Mark 16 that they would speak with other tongues and have the same power to heal the sick, cast out devils and all the things which the husband, Jesus had had in his lifetime. He endued them with this same property or power. This was his dowry to them and to us.
    Acts 2: 36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
22. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
23. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
24. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
    I think none of us realized how important this Scripture is in Acts 2. This is the only place where Luke 24:49 was ever fulfilled. This is where he kept his promise to endue us with power or his dowry to us. This is the only place where he fulfilled his dower to us. He gave us his power or property to provide for our needs here after his death and at our wedding to him right here in Acts 2:36-39.
    Notice Peter told them first this is Jesus whom ye CRUCIFIED. This was showing that Jesus had the right or power to give to his wife, (those who would come and marry him by being baptized in his name), his dower because this proved he had died. Had he not died, then he could not be a dower or leave us his property or rights of power after his death. Peter proved here that Jesus was the husband who had died and left his wife his dower or rights to his own property. This power was his, not ours. We only receive it as his gift to us. You will not find any other Scriptural reference to anyone being endued with power other than this in Acts 2. So this has to be his dowry to us. So unless you obey this, receive this his dowry, then you are not his bride or wife.
    So then the GIFT of the Holy Ghost is his first gift to his bride. This is the first step of his giving us his dowry or dower. Under this gift comes many other gifts. But the main header is this gift of the Holy Ghost. After one receives the gift of the Holy Ghost, then the Holy Ghost gives us other gifts. If you do not desire spiritual gifts, then you are not his wife for you do not want to receive his dowry. He gives his dowry to his bride. He then gives his dower to his widow. We are both his wife and his widow. He died so he could empower us as his widow. Thus we receive the full inheritance of his estate while in our lifetime.
    The gifts of the spirit are listed in 1Cor. 12. In the list you will see the fulfillment of Mark 16. He lists the power to heal the sick, speak in tongues and others. Unless you receive some of these gifts you are not his wife, for he has not given you his dowry. If you did not receive his dowry you did not marry him.
    Psm 149:4. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
    Now this beautifying the meek with salvation is part of Jesus’ dowry to us. He gives his bride her wedding dress. This is her beauty. Remember this bride had nothing to offer him. She had no property of her own. She was poor. She had no dowry for him. So her wedding dress and ornaments had to be provided by the bridegroom. He loved her enough to give her this beautiful dress. What was her wedding dress? It was salvation or righteousness. He gave her his own righteousness. He said the righteousness of saints is our wedding garment.
    Rev. 19: 7. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
25. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
    See it was granted to her to have this fine linen wedding dress. She had to be given this wedding dress, for she was too poor to buy it for herself. It is part of the bridegroom’s dowry to her. He beautified her with salvation, or righteousness, and this was not our own righteousness, for we had none. It was his righteousness. He himself arrayed his bride with her beautiful garments and ornaments. These ornaments are those gifts of the Holy Ghost. They were given to her to make her ready for the wedding. It is typed by the gifts given to Esther as she prepared to go marry the king. She required nothing for herself. She accepted what was given to her. So the gifts given to us by the Holy Ghost is the same as the chamberlain gave to Ester to prepare her to go to the King. Without these gifts, you will not be chosen as the bride. The king rejected all the other contestants who required things for themselves. He accepted Ester who let the chamberlain decided for her what to wear.
    The Holy Ghost is with us to prepare us for the wedding. We must let him empower us with his gifts or the bridegroom will not accept us as his wife.
    Remember that this groom is giving his wife his own property or right to his power. If we reject his gifts then he will reject us. The bride had made herself ready. This means she put on the beautiful wedding dress and ornaments he sent to her.
    Now we have covered the dowry of the husband to the bride. But we must find what the bride it to present to her husband.
    Dower: — But we also need the meaning of dower. = The part of or interest in real estate of a DECEASED husband given by law to his widow during her life.
    Now see that the dower is the part of or interest in what the husband had and it is given to the wife after the husband is dead. So after Jesus died, he gave us his dower or part of his estate. This has been explained. But the action has to be completed.
    Curtesy: –The opposite of dower is curtesy. = A husband’s interest upon the death of his wife in the real property of an estate that she either solely owned or inherited provided they bore a child capable of inheriting the estate.
    Now remember that the bride had nothing before the wedding. She had no dowry for the husband. He even had to provide her with her wedding dress. But she still has to provide something for him.
    The ‘curtesy’ is the husband’s interest in the real property of an estate which the wife had before the marriage which he receives at her death. But one condition is provided and that is that they bore together a child capable of inheriting the estate.
    This is powerful and marvelous. But her estate, which she had before her wedding to him, was herself. This was all she had to offer. She had only her body. This is her estate. Now she has to die before he can inherit this property or estate. Not only that but they had to have produced a child capable of inheriting the estate.
    When we come to be married to Jesus we must die. Yes, we must die to our old or first self. This is our estate before we marry him. So you cannot become his wife or bride unless you are willing to let your first or old man, the first-man Adam nature die. You must die to yourself. You must let your fleshly desires and thoughts die and receive his transfusion of the Holy Ghost. He must infuse you with His Spirit or his real property or estate. This comes in Acts 2.
    Romans 12: 1. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
26. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
    Sacrifice: — = to suffer loss of, give up, renounce, injure or destroy, esp. for an ideal, belief, or end. & The killing of a victim on an altar. 3: destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else.
    So from this we see what the curtesy of the wife is. She must die before she can convey this to her husband. She must present her body, her only property, a living sacrifice. He did not require for her to actually be killed, but only for her to do this as a living sacrifice. She must be willing to do this for him. Since he did require for her to actually be killed, then she must do the thing of being a living sacrifice. She must exchange her old ways for new ways, which suit him. She must kill her old man and let a new man be formed in her.
    This forming of the new man, Christ, inside her is this child she must bear him so that he can inherit her first estate. He will not accept her under any other conditions. He explains the way she accomplishes this. There in Romans 12 he said be not conformed to the world. So he requires that she change her old ways and not act any longer like the world around her.
    He said for her to be transformed, or made anew by renewing her mind. She can only accomplish this by feeding upon His Word daily and obeying this word. Part of this word is not to conform to the world around her. Now if she loves the world and the things of the world and continues to act like the world and partake of the world, then she is refusing to obey him by not conforming like the world. She refuses to be transformed by renewing her thoughts by feeding upon his word daily and obeying his rules for righteousness.
    If she is rebellious this way he will not marry her and place his Spirit into her. Then she will not be able to bear that child, the Christ in us. If she does not bear this Holy Child, he cannot inherit her original, real estate, which is her body or herself.
    Thus the bridegroom will disown her. The marriage will not take place. She will not be given the beautiful wedding dress and his precious gifts as his dowry to her.
    Not only that but the best part, he saved for last, she will miss. This was to be his last gift to his wife. And what is that?
    Her Heavenly home. Her heavenly mansion. And what is that?
    Phil. 3: 20. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
27. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
    Paul said our body is our ‘house’ or what we live in. So our mansion in heaven is our glorified body, fashioned like unto the husband’s glorious body. That is why she must die to this first, corrupt, vile body. If she continues to live according to the lusts of this vile body, then the husband will reject her as his bride and she will never be given this new glorious body or heavenly mansion.
    So we must die to our first self in order to let him fill us with his Spirit or the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. We must take his name by the water baptism in His Name. By receiving this gift or his dowry to us, we then can bear the necessary Holy child, the Emmanuel or Christ in us. Without this child we can never give our curtesy to him. This entire process has to be completed for the Heavenly Wedding to take place. It starts here on earth as we die to self, present our bodies a living sacrifice so he can transform us or infuse us with his own spirit and make us a new creature. We must die to all the old ways and let everything become new.

Charging for the Gospel?

By:  Jo Smith ~~~ July 13, 2022

Should you pay to hear preaching?  Should you pay to hear singing and music?  Is tithing supposed to be money?  If so, what for?  Does a true Minister of God take pay for doing his ‘job’?

The answer to all of these is no!  What is filthy lucre?  Is it pay for a job you did?  NO!  It is when one thinks they should be paid for his ministry work.  The words ‘filthy lucre’ in Scripture are used ONLY when in connection with taking wages or pay for ministry.  It is not filthy to receive pay for Manuel labor. 

Did Paul or any other true minister take pay for his preaching?  NO!  This is clearly the mark of the beast.  Many scriptures prove this.  But it is like the one which says the Lord our God is ONE.  Most folks think in their own minds that the word, ‘one’, means the digit 1.  But no!  It means more than 1 in total unity.  So if you take the wrong meaning of a word, you will end up believing a lie every time.

Know that Scripture is God’s word, all of it.  So if God cannot lie then all Scripture must be in perfect harmony.  It cannot clearly state one idea here and then cross that in another place.  If so, one of those teachings would be a lie.

So, what did Paul mean by this:

11Cor. 11: 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

Do you honestly think that Paul means that he took pay from other churches for his preaching?  Of course NOT!  That would cross all other Scriptures on this subject.  So then, what did he take wages for?

Let Scripture answer for us:

1Cor 4: 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

Wages always pertains to Pay for the work of our hands.  A job that we do to be paid for.  Ministry is never to be a job to be paid for.  That makes on to be a hireling, which God condemns. 

Leviticus 19:13

Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

See this shows that wages is pay for labor that one does as a job.  Not ministry.  You should not use your neighbors services without pay.  God condemns this. 

Jeremiah 22:13

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

See that it brings a woe to use your neighbor’s services without WAGES.  That is what WAGES is;  pay for a job that you were hired to do.

Malachi 3:5

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts

See that a hireling works for wages.  So when you have to pay a preacher he is a hireling and will not receive a reward in heaven, for the money is his reward.

Here is a very strong condemnation against people who do the ‘work’ of God, such as preaching and prophesying, for money;  they are making MERCHANDISE of you and the Lord’s work:

2 Peter 2

2 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, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 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.

See it shows that it is FALSE PROPHETS and false teachers, who make merchandise of you;  this means they make you pay them for their false ministry and they are covetous and give you damnable heresies.  This will bring swift destruction on them.  Anyone who takes WAGES or pay for their ‘ministry’ speaks evil of the truth and are damned.  This is the sure mark of the beast.  They are the beast.  Couldn’t be clearer.

And here is SOLID PROOF OF THIS:

12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

He called them BEASTS.  They are the same as Balaam who love the WAGES of unrighteousness.  Balaam went to prophesy for the king FOR A REWARD.  This is clearly the MARK OF THE BEAST.  They are beasts.

So don’t you know that the great Apostle Paul, knowing all of this, is not going to take WAGES for his ministry?  No way!  Paul is not a Balaam.  Paul took wages from other churches, not for his ministry, but for SERVICES that he performed FOR THEM WITH HIS OWN HANDS.  Paul was a tent maker by trade and worked with his own hands to supply his needs and the needs of those who worked with him in ministry.

He said, so I will not be chargeable to you.  He was at times naked, cold, hungry and other needs BUT HE DID NOT USE THIS TO MAKE MERCHANDISE OF THE MINISTRY. Paul was not a beast.

He allowed other churches to pay him for his LABOUR which he did for them working with his own hands.  He did not wish to take the wages, but those other churches were prospering at that time and the Corinthians were at that time having a hard time.  So when Paul did labor for them, he did not take pay since they were already having a hard time.  He certainly did not take pay for preaching;  He clearly stated that he preached to them FREELY AS JESUS TOLD US TO DO.

It was the other jobs that he did for them that he was doing for free since they were having a hard time.  He had taken pay from other churches for the jobs he did there, so he could not have to charge the Corinthians at this time.

I know for a fact the most churches/preachers use the thing in 11Cor. To try and justify taking pay for their false ministry.  But it is total perversion of God’s word.

Here is another place that they pervert to justify their lust for money:

1 Corinthians 16 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

This was laying up food and other material goods that the poor saints at Jerusalem might need.  IT WAS NOT MONEY OR TITHING.  Paul did not want them out in their fields gathering in the crops to send to the people in need after he arrived, because He wanted them to hear his teachings.  Prepare your gifts ahead of my coming, so we can fellowship while I am here and then we will take your love gifts of FOOD, CLOTHS, etc. to the needy.

NOW IF ONLY WE HAD CHURCHES WHO OPERATE THIS WAY TODAY!

The store houses were a place where FOOD was stored up in the OT to feed the poor and the priests, who had no secular job or home.  It was also to feed people who traveled by on their way.  This was their TITHE.  It was FOOD.  IT WAS CORN, MEAL, FLOUR, OIL, ETC.

The word is clear on this issue.  TITHING was never ever money.  Get that, tithing was never MONEY.  It was FOOD.  They were even told that if their meat offering was too large for them to carry a long way to Jerusalem, to change it for MONEY and then go buy the FOOD later to offer their sacrifice.  They never gave money to priests.

Modern day preachers, who lust after money and an easy ‘living’ or ‘job’ have totally made havoc of the word of God by declaring, over and over, that you must tithe YOUR WAGES to them bring that money into ‘their’ store house.  That was LAW AND IS NEVER TRUE IN A GRACE MESSAGE OR CHURCH.  Besides, the tithe was not money; it was food.

Jesus himself condemned money changing in the Temple and overturned their MONEY TABLES.  He will do the same for you money-loving preachers some day.

When a man tells you to ‘sow’ a ‘seed’ of faith, into the kingdom of God by giving them MONEY, you better get as far away from the lying false prophet as you can.  He will not only rob you of your wages from your job, but will rob you of your salvation by deceiving you into thinking that is how you serve God.

This is a horrible sin, crime and shame.

Now here is solid proof that the ministry of food was involved:

Acts 6 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

See that Peter showed the difference here in those who were serving tables or natural food and the ministry of the Word.  Both were done FREELY. It was not to make money.

So now you see that not many in the world today serve the Word.  They are all out to make money or take the wages of unrighteousness. 

And in conclusion here is solid proof that they were to care for each other’s needs as one would prosper and others be in need.  BUT REMEMBER IT IS NOT DEALING WITH WAGES HERE, BUT WITH SUPPLYING THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE;

2 Corinthians 8 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

So when you hear these wolves in sheep clothing hammering out their TITHING message, give to the preacher;  give 10% of your work wages to us, you are listening to a devil.

‘sow’ a seed of FAITH by giving me a thousand dollars!  What?  See how this will destroy your real chance to get salvation or faith, because it is evil COVETOUSNESS.

Here is the proof:

Acts 8: 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

There is the sure MARK OF THE BEAST…. Thinking that the gift of God may be purchases with MONEY.  Peter condemned this sorcerer.  And so is all who preach to you to give them MONEY.

God does not deal in Money.  The love of money is the root of all EVIL. 

Isa 58: 6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Now that shows the true ministry… feed the hungry, cloth the naked etc.  This is the way to minister, not for money but out of love.  Jesus said FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.

Is he speaking of the WAGES that you received at your work job?  Of course not.  You did not freely receive those wages.  You worked for them.

 So what?  You freely received the gift of God, salvation, prophecy, healing, teaching and knowing the true word of God.  This was freely given to you and you must freely give it to others.

No minister that I know of FREELY GIVES OUT HIS MESSAGES.  So he is a hireling.  A beast.  A robber.

And is the crowing Jewel of this message:

Isaiah 55:1

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
