This study of Revelation is very much different than what is being taught in today’s churches.&amp;nbsp; I believe Yahweh is opening our eyes to many of the secret truths in his word, and that he has divinely inspired the way the scriptures are laid out in the book of Revelation.&amp;nbsp; Most of us have been taught that the chapters and verses are laid out in sequential order and that the seals, vials and trumps follow after each other.&amp;nbsp; I believe Yahweh has in fact ordered the scriptures in a non-linear fashion, to prevent those that are not supposed to come to the knowledge of His truths about the end times and what is to come.&amp;nbsp; This not only applies to ancient Israel, but also the end times “church”: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Isaiah 29:10-15&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 For YHVH hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;13 &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;Wherefore the ADONAY said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from YHVH, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Daniel 12:9-10&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;sealed till the time of the end&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;

and even now already is it in the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;2 John 1:7&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that YAHSHUA MASHIYACH is come in the flesh. &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;This is a deceiver and an antiMASHIYACH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Note here that Yahshua had to have come for this definition of the “spirit of antimashiyach” to be present.&amp;nbsp; In 1 John 2:18, the verse begins by referencing the “old testament” scripture that speaks about the antimashiyach coming, followed by the declaration that it is already here and that it is an indication that the “last time” has come (Daniel 12 mentioned above).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;1 John 2:18&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antiMASHIYACH &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;shall come&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, even now are there many antiMASHIYACHs; &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;whereby we know that it is the last time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As we go through this study, you will see that through the Vials (or bowls) and Trumps, that Yahweh has left us clues as to how they join together.&amp;nbsp; As such, I believe that the Trumps and Vials walk hand-in-hand, and that each bowl is poured out with the corresponding sound of the same numbered Trump.&amp;nbsp; I also believe that the Seals are historical in nature.&amp;nbsp; You will see that they identify troubles that have progressively gotten worse and worse as each year passes.&amp;nbsp; They take us through the history of the world from the time of Yahshua’s birth, through the mid-point of the tribulation (seals 1-5).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Seal number 6 “marks” the beginning of the judgment and the seventh seal is opened up on the day of Yahshua’s return.&amp;nbsp; Even though Satan would like us all to think that he is in control, as you can see by the following passages in Matthew 24, Yahweh, through Yahshua, opened the seals &lt;u&gt;AFTER&lt;/u&gt; his resurrection.&amp;nbsp; This verifies that they chronicle events from that point forward.&amp;nbsp; They outline how Satan has corrupted the earth, and how he has but a short time left.&amp;nbsp; This time is for the righteous judgment of Satan, the fallen angels, those that refuse Yahweh’s law, deny the true name of Yahshua Hamashiach and do not accept him as their Savior.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We will cover Matthew 24 after briefly discussing the latter rain, because it covers much of what is revisited in the book of Revelation.&amp;nbsp; I also suggest reading Deuteronomy 32, 33 &amp;amp; 34 and Psalm 91 to get a better understanding of this.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;****The testimony of the bread and the law…….&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I believe the “latter rain” to be Yahweh &lt;u&gt;opening our eyes&lt;/u&gt; to the keeping of his law, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;combined&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; with our faith belief in Yahshua Hamashiach, and our acceptance of His true name.&amp;nbsp; In Deuteronomy 1:26, the word “commandment” (peh in Hebrew) means “mouth”, which as confirmed by other scripture, relates Yahweh’s spoken word as his commandments.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Deuteronomy 1:26&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

of YHVH your ELOHIYM:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 95%;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

Lets look at one of the last definitions of the Hebrew word “peh”, which is “Two-Edged word”.&amp;nbsp; This will give us further insight into this unity of truths.&amp;nbsp; Remember in Revelation how it describes Yahshua stepping on the Mount of Olives, cleaving it in two and then out of his mouth comes a TWO EDGED SWORD!&amp;nbsp; (Rev 1:16; Rev 19:15, 21)&amp;nbsp; We will see how that sword is Yahshua (grace and faith) COMBINED with the words of Yahweh (the Torah!):&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Yahshua came not to speak his own words, but the words of Yahweh:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;John 7:16-17&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;YAHSHUA answered them, and said, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;17 If any man will &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;

So we’ve seen how the word of Yahweh IS his commandment, now let’s look at some scripture that When Yahshua was being tempted in the wilderness, he rebutted satan with grace/faith combined with the Torah:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Matthew 4:1-4&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Then was YAHSHUA led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of ELOHIYM, command that these stones be made bread.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;4 But he answered and said, It is written, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Amazingly, this is also found in the Torah!:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Deut 8:3&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH doth man live&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yahshua IS the bread of life:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;John 6:35, 51, 55&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;35 And YAHSHUA said unto them, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;I am the bread of life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;51 &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;I am the living bread which came down from heaven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;53 Then YAHSHUA said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(THE BREAD OF LIFE/FAITH AND GRACE!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;

Part of this “latter rain” includes Yahweh revealing the hidden truths of the scriptures in regard to the end times.&amp;nbsp; He has withheld these truths from the disobedient church, because she has played the harlot, and has become polluted with paganism and doctrines of devils.&amp;nbsp; She has wholly denied the law of truth and refused to turn from her evil path.&amp;nbsp; While the following scripture is referring to ancient Israel, we can easily see that it applies to the modern church as well:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Jeremiah 3:1-25&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Shall not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith YHVH.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="margin-left: -12.75pt; width: 97.2%;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 8.54%;" valign="top" width="8%"&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1351854619381160254&amp;amp;postID=7570102650275537607" name="S2184"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="ms-its:D:%5CkjvstrongsOT.chm::/FRMCONHEB218.htm#S2184" target="top"&gt;2184&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 26.3%;" valign="top" width="26%"&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Whoredoms: znuwth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;zen-ooth'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 64.1%;" valign="top" width="64%"&gt;from 'zanah' (&lt;a href="ms-its:D:%5CkjvstrongsOT.chm::/FRMSTRHEB21.htm#S2181"&gt;2181&lt;/a&gt;);   adultery, i.e. (figuratively) &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;infidelity, idolatry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:--whoredom.&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;there hath been no latter rain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;; and &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;thou hadst a whore's forehead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;, thou refusedst to be ashamed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(The blessing of the latter rain has been withheld from them!)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;5 Will he reserve his anger for ever?

be rebuilt, but that they will only be successful in setting up the altar to prepare the mount for the temple they &lt;u&gt;intend&lt;/u&gt; to build.&amp;nbsp; The first step to building a new temple is to build a new altar, and then to sacrifice on it to purify the mount, before they would be able to begin building the new temple.&amp;nbsp; I believe that this is the daily sacrifice that the scripture speaks of the anti-messiah stopping.&amp;nbsp; I believe this also includes the anti-messiah stopping the Jews from offering their daily prayers at the Wailing Wall. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Please see the “Temple Study” for more details.&amp;nbsp;

Verses 21 &amp;amp; 22 point out that this passage is NOT referring to the past troubles of Jerusalem in history, but is indeed referring to the judgments of the tribulation (vials/trumps) and the surrounding of Jerusalem as the beginning of the tribulation judgment.&amp;nbsp; The anti-messiah takes the temple mount by force.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is MASHIYACH, or there; believe it not.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;24&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;

Immediately &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;AFTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(There are two separate times where this type of event happens.&amp;nbsp; Note that this time is AFTER the tribulation ends, the Sun is darkened, the moon does NOT give her light and stars fall from heaven (Joel 2:10; Mark 13:24-27).&amp;nbsp; The passage we will see later in the Seals {Rev 6:12-17} is at the &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;BEGINNING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt; of the judgment of Yahweh, which is half way through the tribulation.&amp;nbsp; The Sun is darkened, the moon turns blood-red, the stars fall and there is a great earthquake.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(This is a reference to the Seventh and final Trump – on the &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;LAST DAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;

Let’s look at how everything above matches the seals in the book of Revelation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once again, I believe that Yahshua began opening the seals after his ascension into heaven, after his death.&amp;nbsp; The Strong Angel asks who is worthy to open the book of seals, and none was found.&amp;nbsp; I believe this was because Yahshua was in the process of resurrecting from the dead (he was not on the earth or in the earth as a man, but had not yet ascended to heaven.&amp;nbsp; Then, one of the elders says, “Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”&amp;nbsp; This is after he was crucified, buried and then resurrected.&amp;nbsp; He then entered into the throne room, and in his glorified state, was successful in opening the book of the seals.&amp;nbsp; This started the “End of Days” and put into motion the corruption of the earth and the coming judgment (the great tribulation).&amp;nbsp; Satan and his demons were allowed to rule over the earth for this short time.&amp;nbsp; As anyone can plainly see, the world has become more and more evil as each year progresses (Rev 22:11; Dan 12:10; 2 Tim 3:13-17).&amp;nbsp; The following passage confirms this and sets the timeline for when the book of seals was opened, and when Yahshua began opening each of the seals contained therein.&amp;nbsp; By this, we can see that the seals are confirmed to have started just after Yahshua’s ascension into heaven.&amp;nbsp; This further confirms that the seals are circumstances and events that began back then, and that are increasing in intensity the closer we get to the time of judgment (birthing pangs).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Revelation 5:1-14&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of ELOHIYM sent forth into all the earth.&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; (The seven churches; Zech 4:2 &amp;amp; 10, Rev 1; Rev 2 &amp;amp; Rev 3)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to ELOHIYM by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 And hast made us unto our ELOHIYM kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Each and every one of these seals are historical in nature.&amp;nbsp; These things have always been present, but from the time of Yahshua’s resurrection, the seals were opened and all of these things began to increase with intensity and became more and more widespread.&amp;nbsp; Today, these signs are more severe than they have ever been in all of history.&amp;nbsp; Before we cover the seals, we need to look at a similar occurrence of four horsemen in the old testament.&amp;nbsp; We will see that the horses and riders there do NOT match up to the ones in Revelation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Zechariah 6:1-7&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the ADOWN of all the earth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1) Notice that the horses here are with chariots, in Revelation they are not.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;2) The horses here are Red/Black/White/Grisled (spotted) and Bay (of a strong color). &amp;nbsp;Also, Zechariah states that the Grisled go to the south country and the bay went forth to and fro throughout the earth, so they separated.&amp;nbsp; In Revelation they are White/Red/Black/Pale.&amp;nbsp; The fourth horse in Revelation is pale, not spotted.&amp;nbsp; In Strong’s #5515, “pale” is said to be green or greenish.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3) The Zechariah horses are never identified as representing Yahweh’s judgment.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Revelation 6:1-17&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;and he went forth conquering, and to conquer&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(Mat 24:6-8; The Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Hitler and any other people throughout history who have attempted to rule or conquer the world.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon &lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another&lt;/span&gt;: and there was given unto him a great sword. &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(Notice this is separate from the white horse which was the bearer of war.&amp;nbsp; This horse begets violence and murder.

And &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(Rev 12:3-4; Luke 10:18; I believe this to be Satan and his fallen angels.&amp;nbsp; They have been given authority over the sinners of the world to greatly increase their sin and the consequences thereof.&amp;nbsp;

***These are pre-judgment martyrs*** (These are ALL of those that have been martyred throughout all of history from Yahshua’s resurrection for their belief in Yahshua.&amp;nbsp; “Pre-Judgment” martyrs – Matthew 24:9)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O ADONAY, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;?&amp;nbsp; (Notice here that they are pleading with Yahweh in regard to how long it will be before Yahweh releases his judgment upon the earth.&amp;nbsp; Had the seals been part of the judgment, this would make no sense at all.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;11 &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;And white robes were given unto every one of them;

&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(It also refers to the tribulation martyrs, those who are given the choice to take the mark and live, but refuse the mark and become a tribulation martyr.&amp;nbsp; These are they who have rejected the true name of Yahshua, have refused to remove Paganism from their lives and have refused the laws, statutes and judgments of Yahweh.&amp;nbsp; They will have this final opportunity to lay down their life for Yahshua and will receive salvation.&amp;nbsp; This is their trial by fire.&amp;nbsp; See 1 Corinthians 3:6-20; also see the section in this study on the cast out Children of the Kingdom.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I believe everything prior to this point in the Seals (1-5) has covered all of history from Yahshua’s resurrection up until the midway point of the tribulation (3 ½ year mark).&amp;nbsp; All of the listed “birth pangs” are getting worse and worse as time progresses (Dan 12:1-13).&amp;nbsp; At the mid-point of the tribulation, the signs below occur to mark the antichrist’s assumption of power.&amp;nbsp; He is given 3 ½ years to reign on the earth (Daniel 7:25) and sets up the abomination that maketh desolate (Daniel 8:11-14 &amp;amp; 8:19-25 &amp;amp; 11:30-45, &amp;amp; Matthew 24:15 &amp;amp; Revelation 13:14-15).&amp;nbsp; This is also the point at which the mark of the beast is mandated upon the earth (Rev 13:16-18; 14:9 &amp;amp;11).&amp;nbsp; The two witnesses also appear at this point (Rev 11:3-13; Zech 4).&amp;nbsp; See below for one of the main signs (verse 12 below and Joel 2:28-32).&amp;nbsp; Before this judgment can happen the remnant must also be sealed, so that they are protected from the wrath of Yahweh (see section on 144,000).&amp;nbsp; During this time of sealing, the winds from the four corners of the earth are restrained.&amp;nbsp; The final sign is the destruction of Babylon.&amp;nbsp; This happens after Yahweh seals the Remnant and before the judgment begins &lt;new america="" and="" of="" rest="" the="" york=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; Some people believe that this is Iraq.&amp;nbsp; Only New York and America fit the prophecy of the end-time Babylon (Rev 14:7-11; Rev 17; Rev 18; Pslm 137:8-9; Isa 47; Jer 50:22-46; Mic 4:8-11; Zech 2).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/new&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Revelation 6:1-17 (Continued)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(Joel 2:28-32)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; (Verses 13 &amp;amp; 14 &lt;u&gt;could&lt;/u&gt; be referring to a great meteor shower with one very large one that impacts the earth.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;(THE ANSWER LIES BELOW!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This goes with some scripture concerning the reaping, or separation, of Yahweh’s children from the disobedient children of the earth.&amp;nbsp; In Yahweh’s word, he uses the “reaping” of a harvest in three different ways.&amp;nbsp; One describes the Last Trump, where all of those who follow Yahweh, and believe in Yahshua, both dead and those that are still alive and remaining, are taken up into the clouds, to accompany Yahshua to the Mount of Olives, where he will destroy the armies of the world (Armageddon).&amp;nbsp; This will be covered later when we go over the Last Trump.&amp;nbsp; The other ways describe the trial by fire of people during the tribulation where they have to give their life for Yahshua to receive salvation, by refusing the mark of the beast (deceived “Christians” who are not protected by Yahweh because of their disobedience – refusal of keeping Yahweh’s law and/or denying Yahweh or Yahshua’s names), and the reaping (destruction/death) of the wicked during Yahweh’s judgment and wrath in the tribulation.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is one key event that MUST occur before Yahweh’s wrath can be unleashed upon the earth.&amp;nbsp; His remnant must be sealed in their foreheads as an ensign of their total devotion to Yahweh, His judgments, His laws, His ordinances, His Son, and follow the Lamb whither so ever he leads and keeps His name Holy.&amp;nbsp; This is what protects them from the judgments of Yahweh which are about to come upon all the earth (Pslm 37).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Revelation Chapter 7:1-17&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;3 Saying, &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.&lt;/span&gt;

How many times did you here that comment. Everybody got charged up with his statement.......... But what about ....Sunday worship........ Christmas,...........Easter............Halloween........... St.Patrick's day. The list goes on and on. What do you say about those items....... are they just as pagan as divorce? Why is it that we are surprised that a TV Evangelist who makes millions off the backs of the poor, And doesn't follow any of the Commands of Abba YAHWEH would think any differently. I too was caught up in the mainstream Christianity game......for years. As we began to dig deeper in to the scriptures, we began to see that something was wrong.....things didn't add up. If in fact YAHUSHUA was the same yesterday today, and forever, (Heb 3:18) how could the  "law" be nailed to the steak. Just look where the mainstream church has gone. The divorce rate is just as bad as the world........ Pornography is rampant...... Adultery  is common place....... there music has become the same as the world........ they use all kinds of hocus-pocus to fill there pews. And YAHWEH is going to rapture this putrid body away.  I don't think so......... My friends it is time to get our lives on the straight and narrow path.......Broad is the road that leads to destruction.Mat 7:13  “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. It is time to turn from our wicked ways.......Act 3:26  “To you first, Elohim, having raised up His Servant יהושע, sent Him to bless you, in turning away each one of you from your wicked ways.We have only one choice..... it is found in the 7th chapter of the book of 2 Chronicles.2Ch 7:14  and My people upon whom My Name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their land.

I believe the start of a very tragic time is upon us. This is a time that all believers must take heed of. We are standing at the precepts’ of the beginning of the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:2  And יהושע said to them, “Do you not see all these? Truly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, at all, which shall not be thrown down.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Mat 24:3  And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately, saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:4  And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American Churches To Embrace Chrislam On June 26, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American churches to deny Jesus Christ on June 26, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Corinthians 6:14-18&lt;br /&gt;“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath ELOHIM with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of YHWH with idols? for ye are the temple of the living ELOHIM; as YHWH hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their ELOHIM, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith YHWH.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NTEB has reported extensively on the growing Chrislam movement. Chrislam, started in part by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church’s embrace of the joining of Christianity and Islam, has grown dramatically and now has infected many hundreds of churches and denominations all across America. A new group called Faith Shared is now spearheading the move to merge Christianity with Islam, and in the process provoking the very judgment of God down upon us as a nation. (NOTE: Rick Warren is not affiliated as far as we know with Faith Shared)&lt;br /&gt;                                                     &lt;br /&gt;Light and darkness cannot be mixed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is taken directly from Faith Shared&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Faith Shared asks houses of worship across the country to organize events involving clergy reading from each other’s sacred texts. An example would be a Christian Minister, Jewish Rabbi and Muslim Imam participating in a worship service or other event.&lt;br /&gt;Suggested readings will be provided from the Torah, the Gospels, and the Qur’an, but communities are encouraged to choose readings that will resonate with their congregations. Involvement of members from the Muslim community is key.&lt;br /&gt;We will also provide suggestions on how to incorporate this program into your regular worship services. And we will assist local congregations in their media and communications efforts.&lt;br /&gt;While there is a strong preference for all of the events to happen on the same day, a number of congregations held interfaith services in January and February giving us wonderful examples of how communities can come together in support and fellowship. We will be posting photos, sample programs and audio files from theses services.&lt;br /&gt;Faith Shared will collect images and videos from these events to use in our efforts to spread this message of respect and understanding from America.&lt;br /&gt;Tensions around Islam in America have erupted throughout the country in the past year, leading to misconceptions, distrust and in some cases violence. News stories on the rising tide of anti-Muslim bigotry and violence abound, with graphic and often searing images of the antagonists, the protagonists and the battlegrounds where they meet. All too often, media coverage simplistically pits Muslims against would-be Qur’an burners, neglecting any substantive representation of where the majority of Americans actually stand: a shared commitment to tolerance and freedom. We are committed to ensuring that the storyline changes dramatically in 2011 by helping to create an environment of mutual understanding and respect for each other’s faith traditions.” source – Faith Shared&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:8  “And all these are the beginning of birth pains. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:9  “Then they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill&lt;br /&gt;you,and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:10  “And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up&lt;br /&gt;one another, and shall hate one another. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:11  “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many&lt;br /&gt;astray. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:12  “And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of&lt;br /&gt;many shall become cold. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:13  “But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:14  “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come. &lt;br /&gt;Mat 24:15  “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – he who reads, let him understand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In case you don’t know, the abomination that lays waste will be the practice of Islam in the Temple….. I believe you are seeing the beginning of it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev 22:20  He that bears witness of these matters says, “Yes, I am coming speedily.” Amĕn.

I totally concur with its content. I truly believe the end is near……….. however this has been said many times in the past. Just the wars that this country has experienced shows that time is short……….. The world right now has 6 wars raging now………. The weather patterns, tsunamis in Indonesia, the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, earthquakes in South America, drought in Argentina and Chili, The African droughts, and European snow falls. Fires out of control in Texas, and Oklahoma. The drought and fires in Australia, followed by torrential rain and floods . Need I go on? Here is what Scripture says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:5  And יהושע began to say to them, “Take heed that no one                   leads you astray, &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:6  for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and&lt;br /&gt;they shall lead many astray. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:7  “And when you hear of fightings and reports of fightings,&lt;br /&gt;do not be troubled – it has to take place, but the end is not yet. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:8  “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against&lt;br /&gt;reign. And there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there&lt;br /&gt;shall be scarcities of food, and disturbances. These are the&lt;br /&gt;beginnings of birth-pains. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:9  “But take heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up&lt;br /&gt;to councils and to congregations. You shall be beaten, and you shall&lt;br /&gt;be brought before rulers and sovereigns for My sake, for a witness&lt;br /&gt;to them. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:10  “And the Good News has to be proclaimed first to all the&lt;br /&gt;nations. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:11  “And when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not&lt;br /&gt;worry beforehand what you are to say. But whatever is given you in&lt;br /&gt;that hour, speak that, for it is not you who are speaking, but the&lt;br /&gt;Set-apart Spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:12  “And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a&lt;br /&gt;father his child.

But&lt;br /&gt;he who shall have endured to the end, he shall be saved.&lt;br /&gt; Mar 13:14  “And when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,&lt;br /&gt;spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up where it should not be” – he&lt;br /&gt;who reads, let him understand – “then let those who are in Yehuḏah&lt;br /&gt;flee to the mountains. . &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:15  “And he who is on the house-top, let him not go down into&lt;br /&gt;the house, nor come in to take whatever out of his house. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:16  “And he who is in the field, let him not go back to get his&lt;br /&gt;cloak. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:17  “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing&lt;br /&gt;children in those days! &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:18  “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:19  “For in those days there shall be distress, such as has&lt;br /&gt;not been from the beginning of creation which Elohim created until&lt;br /&gt;this time, nor ever shall be. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:20  “And if the Master had not shortened those days, no&lt;br /&gt;flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen ones, whom&lt;br /&gt;He chose, He shortened the days. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:21  “And if anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the&lt;br /&gt;Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ do not believe it. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:22  “For false messiahs and false prophets shall rise and&lt;br /&gt;show signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen&lt;br /&gt;ones. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:23  “And you, take heed. See, I have forewarned you of it all. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:24  “But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be&lt;br /&gt;darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:25  and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers in the&lt;br /&gt;heavens shall be shaken. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:26  “And then they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming in the&lt;br /&gt;clouds with much power and esteem. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:27  “And then He shall send His messengers, and assemble&lt;br /&gt;His chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of&lt;br /&gt;earth to the farthest part of heaven. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:28  “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its&lt;br /&gt;branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know&lt;br /&gt;that the summer is near. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:29  “So you also, when you see these taking place, know that&lt;br /&gt;it is near, at the door. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:30  “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means&lt;br /&gt;pass away till all this takes place. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:31  “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words&lt;br /&gt;shall by no means pass away. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:32  “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not&lt;br /&gt;even the messengers in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:33  “Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when&lt;br /&gt;the time is – &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:34  as a man going abroad, having left his house and given&lt;br /&gt;authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the&lt;br /&gt;doorkeeper to watch. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:35  “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master&lt;br /&gt;of the house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the&lt;br /&gt;crowing of the cock, or in the morning, &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:36  lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping. &lt;br /&gt;Mar 13:37  “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophecy for Preparation&lt;br /&gt;Apr 14, 2011| Glynda Lomax&lt;br /&gt;I was shown a vision of a stormy sea – very large black waves were crashing down and wrapping around, crashing against each other. All around the waves I could see only darkness. It looked like the darkest of stormy nights. The word ‘turmoil’ came to my mind. In the midst of the turmoil of all the crashing waves, a small light appeared, as over the horizon. Like an approaching ship or a distant lighthouse, but very quickly the waves swallowed up the light and it was gone.&lt;br /&gt;Then I saw a frozen landscape, as if in the dead of winter. I have no idea what the frozen landscape meant. The following morning, YAHWEH began to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Times are about to become very difficult in the world, My Children. There is no time for playing games. All your time must be focused on preparation for what is to come and on walking in your calling. Remove now the excesses from your lives as I have been speaking to your hearts to do. Lighten the load you carry for you cannot carry as heavy a load on an uphill run and that is what is coming for you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Big changes loom on the horizon behind the scenes that will affect your everyday lives.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Be careful to show kindness to each other, to walk in My love towards one another, as this will shield you from many of the attacks of the enemy and help you to remain focused.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I will be moving in many of your lives in coming months, orchestrating the changes I desire to make you more fit for kingdom use and to strategically position you for the things I have called you to do. Do not fight against My changes for they are necessary and unless you submit to Me in them, you cannot be of full benefit to My kingdom.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Turmoil is coming to many governments in the next two months. This is My Hand at work, though it will not seem so to many. Many of My own people do not understand the many avenues I work through. All that is of peace is not of Me, and all that is of war is not either. Nothing happens that I do not allow, and the enemy’s plans come as no surprise to Me for I see all and know all.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My Word holds the key to understanding all things. My Word is My most precious gift to you, My Children. My Word, My Son. If you walk by My Word, you walk in wisdom and the world has no effect on you.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Those who ignore the power in My Word will fall quickly in times coming for they will not know how to stand against the enemy’s onslaught on My People. Be diligent therefore in studying My Word, that you may live and not die. Those who have ears to hear, hear and obey.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I have sent many to warn of what is coming but many still walk in darkness. Many walk in folly, not believing. They shall be taken quickly, unawares, for they did not believe My Word. All you need to survive you have in My Word. In it is wisdom and guidance. In it are hidden treasures of great price that you know not of.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Those who obey Me shall survive what is coming. Yeah, not only survive, but prosper in it, for this will be the time of My Great Warriors. This will be the &lt;br /&gt;time of the lifting up, of the showing forth of those I have been preparing behind closed doors. This is your time, My Chosen Ones. Now is your time to shine before I finally bring you home to Me!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“How I long for the day when you all enter into My rest and are all here with Me! I love you with an everlasting love without measure. I long to have you near Me, to hear your voice whisper My Name, to know you trust fully in Me in all things. Draw near to Me and seek Me in these dark times and you shall find Me and we shall be as one. I will hold you close to Me. I will cover you with My feathers and as you see displays of My mighty power, you will not feel afraid at all for I shall protect you as a good shepherd protects the flock for you are Mine and I love you with a jealous love!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What is soon coming is the dark night of the soul for some – those who are not ready;  A time of revealing for those who are. This will be My time to reveal to the world who you truly are in Me. Many will stand in awe of the gifts I have placed in you and of My mighty power working through you. Be sure you give Me the glory, My Children. Woe to those who try to take My Glory for themselves for destruction comes quickly to them!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now is a time of much prayer. Pray that you may walk worthy through the turmoil that is coming. Pray that you will not be found wanting in any way. Pray that you will be ready to step in to all I have called you to do for My Name’s sake. Pray that you do not stumble in the way, for the battle is quickly approaching. Pray for your brothers and sisters – pray for each other to be strengthened and made ready in every possible way.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In days to come I will begin to remove obstacles from your path that you may serve Me more fully and efficiently. Watch for these things to happen and inquire of Me about what changes I would have you to make at that time for when I do this, I have a purpose for what was freed up.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Some of you will hear from Me soon to move or to reposition yourselves for My purposes. Know that I will bring you the means and ways to do so when the time comes and do not fear for there is always provision on the path to which I have called you and to believe otherwise is to believe a lie from the enemy. If you have no provision, check that the path you are on is truly the way I have called you to go, for many times My Children take a wrong turn and think I do not provide but this is never the case. I am a loving and faithful provider.”&lt;br /&gt;“Hard times are coming, My Children. Times like nothing you have ever encountered before, but I have already spoken provision for you into existence. Look for it for it shall surely appear.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Prepare well. Prepare to run the race set before you for My Glory!”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-7262216615601745175?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/7262216615601745175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/04/time-to-think.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/7262216615601745175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/7262216615601745175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/04/time-to-think.html' title='A TIME TO THINK'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-4942558581640104359</id><published>2011-01-20T13:25:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2011-01-20T13:25:56.285-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Scriptural Spiritual Warfare  Part III</title><content type='html'>Scriptural Spiritual Warfare &lt;br /&gt;Part III&lt;br /&gt;Putting It into Practice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deliverance: This simple procedure, based strictly on authority backed by Abba, has become very complicated by overactive imaginations of Charismatic Christians. Accompanied by screaming at the Devil, carrying a bucket for people to vomit in, and all sorts of hocus pocus rituals, few look at the Word and practice what Messiah and His Apostles demonstrated. Some play games with the spirits, and the spirits end up jumping on them like they did on the sons of Sceva.  Most of what charismatic Christianity teaches as “intercession” and “spiritual warfare” is no more than zeal without knowledge, at the least, and witchcraft at the most…but certainly NOT backed by Yahweh, Elohim of Israel.  This is why the “sons of Sceva” scenario happens so much. Sceva was a Torah-guarding priest, and most likely his sons were also.  But, in their zeal without knowledge, not to be outdone by the Apostles, they stepped into an arena that was way out of their league. Again, I emphasize, do not step beyond your boundaries that are backed by Abba Yahweh, and do not get into the “flesh” in your zeal, for only those under the Spirit’s strict control on all they say and do, who are trusted to be backed by Yahweh, will be able to speak with authority and get rid of the enemy.  Unless you are living as a servant, hearing from the Master and obeying on a daily basis, you are not qualified to enter into the battle of the ages. &lt;br /&gt;In this final study on the subject of spiritual warfare, for now that is, I become intensely personal. The reason being only one—that we are entering a battle to the death, where the enemy won’t just be a “bump in the night” but manifesting openly as Nephilim (demon/human, Rephaim (giants), long walkers, DNA mutates of all types (human/animal, human/reptile, human/bird, human/sea creatures, human/plant, human/robotics—transgenic/transhumanism/eugenics), without conscience, driven by a lust for blood. The increase in Lucifer’s demands for human sacrifice is obvious. The brutality of man with Satan’s mind will be beyond the comprehension of most in the ease-loving west.  Unless you’ve come out of Satanism and been delivered by the power of Yahweh, few will understand what is coming. I’ve written a lot on what happens when the mind shuts down—how to live out of the re-born spirit and function by its mind.  I’ve lived this type of life. As I’ve said so many times, when I was dying of malaria and couldn’t think of my own name, I was very alert and even preached to a &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 1&lt;br /&gt;congregation three times, propped up with pillows, because I heard Him speak in my spirit and repeated what He said.  I’ve known His voice since early childhood. &lt;br /&gt;So, I know that when the mind shuts down, the spirit will carry me through. But, I’ve found that most people who consider themselves “spiritual” have no concept of living out of their re-born spirit, and obeying a personal Master, nor of the basics of discipleship, nor of the life of a servant—basics in the eastern Hebrew-minded Word.  &lt;br /&gt;In this article I give you a small view of how He trained me in spiritual warfare, and how He built my bold faith, so that I can teach others who desperately need to know this information.  I had to learn quickly for my own survival and that of my children. But, out of it, Abba filled me with Himself, and His Spirit has taught me what I pass on to you. Those who have come out of the depths of Satan will understand thoroughly what I say.  &lt;br /&gt;We’re about to enter a battle akin to Numbers 13, only worse and worldwide (Refer to: “Facing the Anakim”). Only two, Joshua and Caleb, out of millions were willing to go into battle, because they believed what Abba Yahweh had said, and believed He was able to fulfill. It takes bold faith in this battle! Faith must be based on only one thing—what has He said!  Abraham, our father in faith, based his faith on one thing—the Word of Yahweh.  Christianity and its Messianic additions have not taught the nature of the Person of Yahweh, but a watered down version of compared to Greek and Roman gods whose personalities fit what each individual conjures up in their own mind. Few take the time to know the real Elohim. But, in this battle, only the Joshua’s and Caleb’s will survive!  &lt;br /&gt;Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, nor be discouraged, for Yahweh your Elohim is with you wherever you go”.  Joshua 14:7-14 tells the reward of Caleb’s obedience’---“because he wholly followed Yahweh his Elohim”.  &lt;br /&gt;We all have major decisions to make. We can sacrifice our life to hold on to what Yahweh is soon to destroy, or lay down our life for the Messiah and His soon-coming Kingdom, and eternal rewards.  Every day we make this decision.    &lt;br /&gt;Make sure He knows you, and knows you well. Otherwise you’re out there on your own. If you’re used to living by your head’s reasoning, and logic, and in your pride of your abilities to produce, you do not know Him well enough to be backed by Him. He only speaks to the re-born spirit that contacts eternity--for it is there that He gives His commands to His faithful ones. &lt;br /&gt;Because of the suffering and intense training I had to learn for self preservation, I have been able to stand against the enemy and help others be free. One night I was praying for believers in a church in Kampala, Uganda. They were lined up, heads bowed, and waiting for me to minister to them. The first one was the pastor’s wife. I asked her to raise her head. And when she did, the Spirit in me, and the Spirit in her leapt in our spirits and we hugged and rejoiced, for we were &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 2&lt;br /&gt;Both filled with Abba’s Spirit.  Oh how I love when that happens!  The next lady began growling as I approached her. I asked her to look at me, and I saw the demons moving across her eyes. I asked her name. I then addressed her, after telling the growling spirit to shut up, and asked her if she wanted to be delivered. She could hardly speak, but said “yes”.  Never try to deliver anyone unless they are in total agreement.  Yahweh respects our human will!  You have no authority over the human will of another person! This lady was gloriously set free, as were others that night.  &lt;br /&gt;Like with a ravenous dog, if they smell fear they attack quickly. I learned early on to have zero fear of the demonic world, and of humans and animals that are controlled by the demons.  &lt;br /&gt;A demon is no more than a disembodied fallen angel, under Lucifer/Satan’s control. I learned the hard way that, like their leader, they are insane, but incredibly brilliant, and incredibly powerful if allowed to manifest. Those possessed, or in final stages of demonizing, usually manifest multiple personalities, and can fool the best of the naïve. They are sadists. Most are sexual perverts of the most wicked (twisted) kind—delighting in homosexuality, the abuse of women and children, as in sadomasochism. Sadomasochism is not only a sexual perversion, but a lifestyle. A person is rejected or hurt, and their internalized anger is fed by deep self-pity. They use their hurt as an excuse to “punish” the person they think has rejected or hurt them. The person responds against the “punishment”, and they joyfully feel rejected and unloved. Feeling hurt is a pleasure-pain to them. Thus the cycle goes round and round. The punishment is usually to tie a person up, gag them, whip them, and continue to torture them. There are nightclubs for sadomasochists, where people can whip each other until they bleed.  I speak of the Catholic Church’s belief in “expiation” later on in this article and of the Flagellates who whip themselves until they bleed to atone for their sin.  A religious spirit often accompanies sexual perversion. This is the base of why people get into such a sexual cycle, because they can’t get rid of their sin, so they have to abuse themselves and others. I am no psychiatrist but I’ve learned from what I suffered personally for many years.  Repentance for sin is rejected. There is no remorse. Without repentance there can be no salvation, because without totally coming out of the kingdom of darkness, there can be no entrance into the Kingdom of light.  There is no spirit of repentance on those who are controlled by demons, for the fallen angels (demons) cannot repent.  There are many who appear to be so nice and spiritual, yet live in the “depths of Satan” with their soul--mind, intellect, emotions and will--controlled by Satan and his fallen ones.  &lt;br /&gt;Now that I understand the mind of the evil one so thoroughly, and of those he &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inhabits, I can say with all my heart: “I reject the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and all the offers of the kingdom of darkness, and choose only to eat of the tree of life from the Garden of Yahweh!”&lt;br /&gt;The demonic world hates anything of the nature of Yahweh. Thus, they go after, with great glee, anyone who is born of the Spirit of Yahweh and who walks in His nature. The final battle to eliminate all of Yahweh’s people from the earth has begun. Colleges teaching trans-humanism—are working on eliminating &lt;br /&gt;The human race as it is, in the image of Yahweh, and producing a race of hybrids that they consider to be better. &lt;br /&gt;The demonic world has no sense of repentance, for their judgment was passed at the beginning of the last age, and they know they cannot repent. (Refer to the Book of Enoch I) They are paranoid and schizophrenic. Yet, they are very religious. They are legalists. They delight in controlling the minds of people. They deceive the minds of people who do not know Yahweh and His Word. They counterfeit what Yahweh does so as to deceive “even the elect, if possible”.  They drive a person to do as they will.  They arrange circumstances to deceive and capture the foolish. They love negative emotions! They love anger, fury, rage, murder, rape, and theft, but also they love whining, self-pity, crying, wailing, and the true suffering of mankind. They feed on it. Whiny women are especially their delight. Teenage girls going through puberty are a prime target because of the negative feelings that accompany “PMS”.  &lt;br /&gt;Those 100% demon possessed, and even demonized people (under demonic control without realizing it) have the nature of the fallen angels.  But, all humans who are not under the control of Yahweh’s Spirit have a nature that is prone to be like the fallen angels.  &lt;br /&gt;The fallen ones have no mercy, no compassion, only sadistic lust to have their own way. They camouflage themselves, a great deal of the time as Christians or Messianic.  Here we have a clear description of their deceit: II Corinthians 11:13-15: “For such are false emissaries, deceptive workers, masquerading as emissaries of Messiah. And no wonder! For Satan he masquerades as an angel of light! It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works”.  &lt;br /&gt;It is amazing how many witches and warlocks are in the churches, and in Messianic congregations--hiding their true nature, but controlling and manipulating. Many of these hiding ones are pastors and elders in the assembly.  Witchcraft and its Jezebel spirit are rising to new heights in the world today. Such is the warning to the assembly of Thyatira—for they condoned one with a Jezebel spirit, who took her victims into the depths of Satan. (Revelation 2:18-29) She manipulates people to sin. She also goes after those with a calling like Eliyahu for the kill.   &lt;br /&gt;The python/anaconda spirit, which includes the Jezebel spirit, is the major spirit &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 4&lt;br /&gt;Over America, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Many have told me that they feel “crushed”. This is the work of the python/anaconda. The anaconda, a type of python, is the largest snake on earth. It hits its victims in the head, stunning or knocking them down, and then it proceed to wrap itself around its prey tightly, then it drags its prey under the mud, where it slowly devours it. Do you feel like this is happening to you? Those who have been in Satanism will know well what I say here.&lt;br /&gt;In the concentration camps that in the U.S., waiting for the martial law where people will be rounded up and put in them, along with torture and death, the &lt;br /&gt;Guillotines, and the hard labor, will be rape camps, where young women will be used as breeders for babies who will be sacrificed to Lucifer.  This is reality.  &lt;br /&gt;Those who have been into Satanism will understand the horrors of this reality. &lt;br /&gt;Satan/Lucifer is requiring more and more blood sacrifices, and when he is thrown out of the planetary system into the earth (Revelation 12), he will go about to get blood sacrifice, especially of the set-apart ones. The mind of Satan is exemplified in this type of insanity--also the minds of the servants of Satan. &lt;br /&gt;This is the kind of “battle” that is coming upon the earth, along with the nuclear, famine, disease, and the release of the mutates.  In His mercy, He will allow many of His people to die quickly. But, He has a Gideon 300 that know how to wage war to the victory. (Judges 7)  &lt;br /&gt;In deliverance, we boldly speak to the spirits by what they do. In calling off death, we speak to the spirit of death—it is a strongman.  Make sure that you are in tune with the voice of Abba, so that He can instruct you as to the manner of deliverance. There is no formula. The spirits are fallen angels of different ranks. They can only stay in someone as long as that person wills them to stay. It is amazing how many so-called believers want to stay in their condition of illness, or infirmity, or of demonizing, for it gets them attention and pity.  But, we have no authority to go beyond human will. Neither do we have authority to go beyond Abba’s will.  Shut down your analyzing mind – when obeying the Master, just do as He says, no more, no less!&lt;br /&gt;And, we can speak the word of deliverance over others IF we have no open doors to the enemy in our own lives, otherwise, they know it, and have an open door to come against us.  Many times, arrogance and pride in one’s own spirituality is an open door – deceiving ourselves into thinking we are good, when we’re not.  &lt;br /&gt;Many times Western culture makes excuses for what Abba calls wrong, and we view niceness as goodness, false mercy as kindness, and false responsibility as serving the Master, and false tolerance as love.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In casting out demons, Messiah always used the firm command, and then they came out. The Apostles followed Messiah’s methodology.  His ways always work!  &lt;br /&gt;Page 5&lt;br /&gt;NEVER touch anyone who is demonized, oppressed or possessed. Demons jump from one person to another. Never touch anyone whom you are trying to get delivered.  Do NOT anoint with oil when doing deliverance. &lt;br /&gt;The anointing of oil is only to be done under Abba’s strict instructions, for healing, and for the setting apart of His servants. &lt;br /&gt;Mark 6:13: “And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.”&lt;br /&gt;Ya’cob (James) 5:14: “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elder of the assembly and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of &lt;br /&gt;Yahweh and the prayer of faith shall save the sick and Yahweh shall raise him up, and if he has committed any sins they shall be forgiven”.  &lt;br /&gt;Anointing for healing is valid. In the days of old, anointing the priests was valid. But, nowhere does the Word say to anoint a demon possessed or demonized person for deliverance. &lt;br /&gt;Luke 10:17-19: “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying `Master, even the devils were subject to us through Your Name’. And He said to them, `I beheld Satan as lightening fall from heaven. Behold I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven’ Why are we not to use oil to anoint the demonized? -- Won’t the set-apart oil set them apart and cleanse them?  The answer is “NO”.   &lt;br /&gt;One day Abba instructed me to teach the book of Haggai everywhere I went. He stressed Haggai 2:11-13 to teach and warn.  “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, `now, ask the priests concerning the Torah saying: If one bears set-&lt;br /&gt;apart meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, or wine or oil, or any food, is it set-apart?’  And the priests said, ‘No’. And Haggai said, `If someone defiled by a dead body touches any of these, is it defiled?’ And the priests said, `it is defiled’ ”.   &lt;br /&gt;If you take what is undefiled--set-apart to Yahweh--and place it on something defiled (a common Christian practice), you not only do not make it undefiled but you bring defilement onto yourself. You stir up demons against yourself, as with the sons of Sceva.  &lt;br /&gt;Many take oil, or symbols of His body and blood, and put them on demonic strongholds, on gates, on portals of the enemy, thinking that will bring His Presence and change things. This is spiritual foolishness. This is a religious game that can be deadly. “Anointing oil”, that has been set apart by prayer, for example, which is put on demonic strongholds--gates and portals of the enemy— does not set-apart the defiled, but the presence of the undefiled actually stirs up the demons out of their comfort zones, and causes them to attack. &lt;br /&gt;If Abba wants us to come against demonic strongholds, it is done by declaration and proclamation of His Word and His Name, with His &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 6&lt;br /&gt;Authority backing and His full trust that we say nothing and do nothing in our own zeal, but are totally 100% committed and submitted to Him. He will not back hocus pocus foolishness!  Learn this lesson well, because if you don’t you’ve opened a door in which the enemy has every legal right to kill, steal and destroy you and your family!&lt;br /&gt;Watch your tongue in the presence of the enemy. Don’t say foolish things, &lt;br /&gt;Or doing religious rituals like the hocus pocus of “pleading the blood”—which I’ve discussed previously. The undefiled only rouses the defiled to violence.  &lt;br /&gt;If you are defiled, hiding sin, and you touch what is undefiled, you can defile whatever and whomever you touch. In other words, we can’t make anything pure by our religious zealot rituals, but the impure can sure make us impure. &lt;br /&gt;The demonic spirits can and will follow you home unless you tell them to go to the “dry places” and not return, for they are legalists. If they come home with you, you might even see them in your house, but things will change—they will begin to destroy your home, your family, your health, the health of your children, bring financial ruin, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have written three articles on mind control, even giving the particulars from the Illuminati handbook, as to what has been done to the American people. I have warned against the “sound of silence” technology on all TVs now—which can send a hypnotic ray that will stun and suspend the thinking of those watching. But, even greater, when the Beast comes to power with his entourage of fallen angels, appearing as benevolent “aliens”, they will come with  hypnotic power that will take over the minds of the people of the earth—suspend their ability to think--then fill their minds with what the demons want them to think. Only those who know how to hear and live and act from their re-born Spirit will be able to survive this assault on the mind! Think this scenario is not real?  Go to II Thessalonians 2 and Revelation 13, and read about the deceptive signs and wonders that the false prophet will do to get the world to worship “the Dragon” and the Beast.  Right now, a great number of the world’s people are calling for “the Dragon” to come, and the ancient gods to return.&lt;br /&gt;I know what it is like to have “little short people” walking down the hallway of my house, seen by children who came to spend the night with my children, as well as big 7’ ones I’ve seen of late, also seen by friends. Once forty nicely potted houseplants went sailing across the dining room, splattering all over the floor. Creatures were walking in the attic, appearing to my children. We felt the breathing of cold air on our face. I saw their little teeth marks all over my baby one morning.  I know about their hiding things as part of their impish games. I’ve seen the black cloud-type demons moving around the baseboards of the house, growing in size when negative emotions were displayed.  Sounds like an &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 7&lt;br /&gt;episode from Star Trek doesn’t it?  But, this is no sci-fi. I learned by what Abba allowed me to experience for myself. By my learning, I know that there is no Elohim but Yahweh and Yahushua Yahweh!  I know my Abba is El Elyon, the Most High! He is El Shaddai, the Almighty! He is the most awesome and wonderful Person in the universe! He is my Abba!  I know Him for myself, and He knows me. He is 100% set-apart and outside the world of Lucifer and his fallen ones—the world of illusion, deception, and destruction.  He calls us to join Him outside of Lucifer’s world!  &lt;br /&gt;At different times He has allowed me to study the depths of the mind of the satanic world and to learn of the plans for the take over of the human race, and planet earth by the fallen ones and their human agents.  I often asked Him why He allowed me to know these things, and now I realize it is because I know enough to reject the kingdom of darkness in all of its deceptions. What have I gotten out of my studies of the kingdom of darkness? – He asked me that – “what have you learned?”  I said: “I learned Isaiah 40-46--You are Yahweh, and there is none besides you!” &lt;br /&gt;Demons can molest children sexually. Demons still rape women to produce their hybrids. If you have a satanic past, you understand these things. You understand the depths of evil that few have encountered. I knew a young woman whose mother was in the Hell’s Angel’s gang. She had been raped by demons, and observed by others while it was happening. Later, like her mother, this girl became gloriously born again and filled with the Spirit of Elohim.   &lt;br /&gt;These wicked ones go after those whom they know will be a threat to them in the future, for they understanding the choosing of Yahweh. Many think they are being attacked by the Devil when something goes wrong in their lives, but usually it is no such thing—for they are not “worthy” of his attacks. Most people are not a threat to the evil one—they still have one foot in his kingdom.    &lt;br /&gt;I understand what it means for America to be crushed by the python/anaconda spirit—symbol of the god Apollo (Apollyon).  Because of the veil over religion that prevents people from seeing reality, many who operate in these demonic spirits pose as Christian ministers, or are leaders in churches.  Religion is all about control of people, money and power. There are a lot of women, and some men too, who understand what it is like to live with a “minister” who is abusive. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more common. Most Christians are so naïve that most do not even believe such things exist. They do not believe in the powers of witches and warlocks. They do not know the depths of the insane mind of one totally demon possessed. The insanity of the demonic world is seen in horror movies, but few realize its reality, especially when it is hidden behind a mask of spirituality. I’ve seen very demonic people called “sweet” and “precious” because of their religious act. By this Satan fools the naïve and ignorant.  &lt;br /&gt;The more Word we learn from the Spirit, the more we follow His leading in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 8&lt;br /&gt;absolute obedience, the more He teaches us, the more He can tell us the truth about what we are seeing!    &lt;br /&gt;Be careful who you submit your mind and emotions to. Beware – for who we submit to, we also give them power and authority over us.  What will the naïve ones do in the future, when the mind of Satan is unleashed on all mankind?  &lt;br /&gt;When Abba instructed me to give away all that I had and move to Jordan (1999), where I lived 8 years, I began studying the Word like never before, even though I’d taught Tenach in Bible colleges. He started my writing and researching, and ministering like never before, especially from 2001. &lt;br /&gt;I write these things to strengthen you – to encourage you – and to exhort you to know Him as He is!  He delivered me from death many times, and from the depths of satanic hell. “He put my feet on a Rock, and established my going”. (Psalm 40:1-3) Thus, as I bring you this wisdom, I do it with His love, for it was His love that set me free. My love for Him is my all-consuming passion. It drives me onward and upward, for soon my Bridegroom is coming!  He has given me precious people to stand with me – and I am welcomed in many countries by those who love me. Psalm 40:1-3 is my testimony! Oh how gracious, kind, merciful and full of compassion He is!  He wants all to be free!  &lt;br /&gt;Many suffer from regret. The enemy used to wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me how horrible I was, or how horrible someone was to me.  Do you relate to that?  I learned to just tell him his future in the lake of fire, and to get out and leave me alone. But what gets rid of him the fastest when he tries monkeying with the mind is to boldly praise Yahweh. He runs away fast! &lt;br /&gt;Growing up in the Baptist church, I really thought I was something spiritual, and so I was very critical and judgmental and religious. After this purging I went through for over 30 years, I had every speck of religiosity removed from me. All I have left is praise for Abba, and love for His people.&lt;br /&gt;In places of severe persecution, like China, many are imprisoned for 17-20 years, yet when they get out they simply call their time in prison their “schooling”. I went through “school” – and so I pass on His messages to you with love and understanding.  &lt;br /&gt;But, truly, the greatest prison warden is religious control over the mind—with its bondage to man. When free, Abba is able to teach us by Himself. (John 8:31-32; I John 2:27)  &lt;br /&gt;1995 was the hardest year of my life, a year in which I almost died several times. But, in that year I found Luke 14:33, and committed my life to serving Him without “ifs, ands or buts”.  I learned what salvation and deliverance really are – and I am dedicated to helping as many as possible be free from the lies and deceptions of Satan. My heartbreak is that so few will apply the wisdom I’ve learned in order to save themselves and their families. So many just read the articles and then go back to life as usual. &lt;br /&gt;Since 1996, I’ve noticed a tremendous increase world wide of witchcraft and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 9&lt;br /&gt;jezebel spirits. The uniting of worldwide witchcraft is a new phenomenon since around 2000.  In the late 1990s onward, two new things began to be noticed as “new”, though nothing is new under the sun: 1) the Asperatus storm clouds, and 2) the “crystal children”—highly psychic children who are most likely genetically engineered children or hybrids of demons and humans--like before the Flood.  &lt;br /&gt;Unless driven off, the spirits of the fallen ones will keep coming for us, and we will encounter them in all sorts of people at different times, in different places.  I almost died in a remote region of southern France in the summer of 2008 from an attack by witchcraft. As I lay in bed feeling the spirit of death, I called off the strongman—Death. But, when I called off “witchcraft”, it felt like a huge bolder was lifting off my chest, and I knew I was on my way to recovery.&lt;br /&gt;Everywhere I go around in the world, I meet jezebels and witches who all have the same characteristics – a façade of spirituality as good Christians or Messianic people, yet the nature of Lucifer. Worldwide witchcraft is rising to a very high state, as demons are using many to curse the children of Yahweh and to try to stop His servants! The main witch who invited me to France posed as a very lovely Messianic believer. She invited me to Wales and to France to teach, which was all a ruse. She had been trying to isolate me for about two years. But, when I kindly told her I would not participate in her breaking of Shabbat, she grew paranoid and began to cut me off as one dangerous to her. Later, when I did not &lt;br /&gt;die, she and her witch-friend in Wales slandered me in the UK and in Israel – but because she was a lovely Messianic, many believed her. Yet overall the attempt to destroy my reputation was thwarted because of the boldness of those who know me and love me.  Abba has His set-apart ones bound together in love.&lt;br /&gt;We don’t have to do anything for the evil ones to attack. We can have all doors closed, and they will still try from the outside. Satan tried to tempt Yahushua several times, but was unsuccessful, so he got his cronies to do his dirty work. Of course, he had no idea that the death of Messiah would result in our salvation!  Abba always pulls of His victory in the face of the enemy.  &lt;br /&gt;During many phases of my life, I often lived with terrifying fear, which began around age seven, brought on by different very valid reasons. This last assignment in which He put me through a grueling test of obedience, to seven portals of the enemy in seven countries, on 16 flights, on trains, on buses, all over the world, in two months, He answered a life-long prayer. I had told Him this last January that I was going to fight the paralyzing fear I lived with and conquer it. In all my articles against fear, I spoke to myself first of all. I have never had fear in His service. I have never had fear of demons. But, fears of all other types ruled a lot of my life because of abuse. I did not know about the fear of Yahweh, only of the fear of man. But, in my obedience these last few months, He pushed me to the extreme, and I had to trust Him with all my might just to make it through. There were times I didn’t think I’d make it. But, in doing so, I found out my fears were gone, and in their place was a loving trust of my&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 10&lt;br /&gt;Abba I’ve never known before. As I like to put it, He put his big magnet over me and drew out of me what I could not overcome on my own. He is so kind!&lt;br /&gt;We change, “from esteem to esteem” as we allow Him to conform us to the image of Messiah. (II Corinthians 3:17-18)  He did a work in me while I wasn’t looking, that I couldn’t have done by myself!  His personality is clearly seen in passages like Ezekiel 36. Though He has to judge sin, He “bends over backwards” to give us mercy.  &lt;br /&gt;In this day, betrayal, slander, character assassination, and all sorts of evil will befall the children of Yahweh, for the enemy is vicious beyond what the mind can wrap around, and will stop at nothing to try to destroy Yahweh’s servants.   &lt;br /&gt;My children finally, in their adult years, let me know the horrible extent of what happened to them, too—some things I never suspected, for they had kept silent because of shame. Thoughts of regret have been used of the enemy over and over to get me to give up. I’ve had to release the past to my Abba in order to go forward with His will. In doing so, my children are also going forward in their lives. I am very proud of them! -- I am very proud of what they’ve let Abba do in their lives!  &lt;br /&gt;So, my friends, I don’t give you religious hearsay. In this battle to come, the appearance of demons, Nephilim, DNA mutates, long walkers, reptilians, and all sorts of beasties, besides the usual war, famine, disease, etc., will be COMMON.   You must learn to use Abba’s weapons of warfare to defeat them. &lt;br /&gt;But…again, as I related in “Spiritual Warfare Part II”, you must not stick this information in a dresser drawer, and, like a scared old man who awakens at 2:00 AM to hear what he thinks is a burglar in his kitchen, who takes out the loaded gun from his dresser drawer, sneaks downstairs, and fires at the first sign of movement, only to kill his son. Take this information and use it as He leads. Don’t go looking for battles. There will be enough come to find you. Let Him guide you in what manner of weapon to use. Spiritual warfare in the hands of the fearful will produce only disaster. We must never step out of our boundaries given to us personally by the Master.   &lt;br /&gt;Once three friends of mine went onto the Temple Mount. In their zeal, they called out for the Dome of the Rock to fall down. Immediately, the one who spoke got deathly ill, one woman was so weak she fell down, and the other thought she was having a heart attack. The spirits hear you. If you are in their territory without Abba’s protection, they have every right to attack you.  &lt;br /&gt;They will speak to your thoughts. This is why we must “bring every thought into captivity to Messiah”. This is why we must have the gift of the “discernment of spirits”—spirits of man, spirits of demons, the Spirit of Yahweh.  &lt;br /&gt;Stay away from man made religious rituals. Do not anoint with oil unless you are under His direction! And, according to the Word, anointing with oil is only to be done with prayer over the sick. Make sure you are pure of heart before &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 11&lt;br /&gt;doing any anointing. We purify ourselves by repentance and humility, asking Him to purify us and forgive our sin.  (I John 1:9)&lt;br /&gt;You must discern if the illness is due to sin, and if so, the person must repent before receiving healing. Many times people come for healing and the reason &lt;br /&gt;they are ill or infirmed is because of sin – and/or not forgiving others – because &lt;br /&gt;of holding hate and vengeance in their heart towards someone, because of harbored grief and/or bitterness. Even doctors will tell you that much illness stems from holding in negative emotions. Unless a person forgives others, they cannot be forgiven by Yahweh (Mark 11:25-26)&lt;br /&gt;My son is a bold warrior, but at age 14 he was still learning. His powerful rebuke of the spirit of migraine headaches delivered me once and for all from migraine headaches. At his rebuke of a migraine headache I was seriously experiencing, I felt five to six long claws pull out of my head, and heat go through my body from head to toe, and I was healed of them for good.  Also about age 14, he was commanding a demon out of the stomach of my husband, who was in great pain. But, my son did not tell it to go to the dry places and await judgment, and to not return.  So, the legalistic demon jumped into my stomach, for I was sitting on the bed next to him. I bent over in pain. Through clenched teeth, I told my son to tell it to go to the dry places for judgment and to not return, and when he did the demon left me and was gone. Many do not tell the spirits to go and stay gone, and they then come back. Messiah was very clear in teaching us this. &lt;br /&gt;The demons have freedom to do as they will if given permission by someone. &lt;br /&gt;Most of Yahweh’s people just do not understand the authority they have through the Spirit. Refer to the articles: “Preparing for the Inevitable” and “The Manifestations of the Set-Apart Spirit” for further teaching. We have authority, but the authority is within certain boundaries and not everyone has the same authority backing. It depends on our level of obedience and submission to Abba if He trusts us or not with His power.&lt;br /&gt;I know it is hard to understand, but in the days to come, Yahweh will allow Satan and his demons to do as they will against the set-apart ones, to purge them and make them “white” so that their reward will be greater. (Daniel 11:32-35) There will be many martyrs. But, there will be many victories even in death. Daniel 7:21: “I was looking and this horn was fighting against the set-apart ones, and was prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and the right-ruling was given to the set-apart ones of the Most High, and the time came and the set-apart ones took possession of the Kingdom”. &lt;br /&gt;Revelation 13:4a, 7: “And they worshipped the Dragon who gave authority to the Beast…And permission was given to him to fight with the set-apart ones and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe, and tongue and nation”.  He cares more for our eternal life than we do.  Suffering here on earth for Him is “normal”.  If we suffer in the flesh, we will reign with Him.  (II Timothy 2:12, and so many other passages)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 12&lt;br /&gt;Appeasing and preserving “flesh” is what western culture is all about. They understand in the east that flesh is secondary to the things of the spirit. This is why they willingly die for their faith in Messiah as par for the course, for they understand discipleship and what it means to be a bondservant of a Master.  &lt;br /&gt;My children had to learn spiritual warfare early. One of my children at age five &lt;br /&gt;was born again and filled with the Spirit and became very quickly strong in warfare. I had a vision of her at age five standing at the bottom of a huge &lt;br /&gt;amphitheatre with demonic powers lining the bleachers, ascending in size from bottom to top.  At her rebuke in Abba’s Name, they all fell backwards.  Later her authority in the Spirit was powerful in leading many to salvation, but also, at an early age, moving in healings and miracles.  She’s preached with me in Mexico, &lt;br /&gt;in two countries of Africa, and on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico.  Little ones have great faith, and that’s what it takes to move in this realm of authority.&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 8:2: “Out of the mouths of babes and infants You have ordained strength, because of Your adversaries, to put an end to the enemy and avenger”. The enemy fears the praises of infants for Abba.   &lt;br /&gt;Matthew 18:3-4: “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become as a little child, you shall by no means enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Whosoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven”.  &lt;br /&gt;So, bottom line: To do spiritual warfare it is more your character and purity of heart that matters most, for He can train the child-like and humble. He won’t &lt;br /&gt;deal with the religious, or the intellectually proud and arrogant. And He surely won’t deal with the cowardly and fearful. &lt;br /&gt;I am finding that a huge problem in the Christian and Messianic world is the pride of people in their spirituality. Humility is honesty about oneself—seeing oneself as Abba sees us, in our sin, and in His love. I’ve had women go on and on about how they love Jesus, Yeshua, or Yahweh and try to convince me how pure of heart they are. They tell me they are not like the people I write about who are weak and fearful, but that they are strong. And inevitably they go on to say that it is their husbands that are the unspiritual ones—not up to spiritual par with them. This type of arrogant fantasy makes the enemy laugh. Yet, many of these ladies try spiritual warfare and wonder why they are so attacked by the Devil.    &lt;br /&gt;I see through this thin veil of religious masking immediately. Almost all are untested. They are like little boys who play “war” – carrying garbage lid covers for shields and toy swords. They are so zealous and gung ho against their pretend enemy, yet if faced with anything that scares them, they run to mommy. These super spiritual people have no idea what the real world is all about. They think they are so superior to others, but they themselves are pitiful. These self-righteous ones have no concept of discipleship, or of laying down one’s life to obey a Master.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 13&lt;br /&gt;After pouring out my heart in a meeting where I taught on real discipleship, a lady commented to me: “I’d love to study the Word, but I have a farm and children to attend to”.  Are these people prepared to do serious warfare against an enemy that has not been on this earth for over 5,000 years?   &lt;br /&gt;We have such a short time now for people to learn correct warfare. The enemies we have to deal with now are far more powerful than any that have ever been on this earth before!&lt;br /&gt;Start small, but start bold. He wants to empower you with His might!&lt;br /&gt;Put on the armor of the High Priest, and stand in the face of the enemy on behalf of His people.  (Ephesians 6:10-18/Exodus 28)&lt;br /&gt;As I wrote in the instructions: “Correct Intercession and Spiritual Warfare in the &lt;br /&gt;Garments of the High Priest”) never enter into spiritual warfare or intercession without the gold plate spiritually over your mind. It is the shield of our thoughts, which control our actions. Unless we have engraved over our mind: “Set-Apart to Yahweh”, we must never enter into battle. The enemy is smart. He knows who is set-apart and who is fake and a fraud, a hypocrite. He knows who is really born of the Spirit and who is just religious. &lt;br /&gt;Fear Yahweh!  If you fear losing your job, house, land, possessions, social position, your family or your life more than you fear losing Yahweh, you’re in big trouble. He can’t back an idolater. For anything you put before obeying Him is an idol. Whatever you fear losing is a god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three things a spiritual warrior must have and know:&lt;br /&gt;1) One must be born of the Spirit and filled with the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;2) One must know the tactics, position, strategy, nature, ways, mind-set, plans and goals of the enemy &lt;br /&gt;3) One must know the Captain of the Host’s nature, ways, thinking, plans, goals, strategies, and methods of battle&lt;br /&gt;Go over the qualifications in Part I, but do not be discouraged! You must learn correct Scriptural spiritual warfare and use it. But, do not stick the information in a drawer—use it now.  He will teach you more as you go.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, the main priority is to get your life positioned so that you can go against the enemy and not have him retaliate back on you and your family. You must close all doors to his entrance, and open all doors to the working of the Spirit of Yahweh. &lt;br /&gt;Humble yourself.  I Peter 5:5-10: “…Gird yourselves with humility toward one another for `Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble’. Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of Elohim, so that He exalts you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He is concerned about you. Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same hardships are experienced by your brothers in the world. And the Elohim of all &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 14&lt;br /&gt;favor, who called you to His everlasting esteem by Messiah Yahushua, after you have suffered a while, Himself perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you”.&lt;br /&gt;You will never grow up outside of patiently and humbly suffering for His sake--not for your own wrong decisions and foolhardiness, but for His sake, and the sake of those who are truly suffering for Him. &lt;br /&gt;It is through suffering that we are purified from this world. One who loves the world cannot love Abba, for they’ve already laid down their lives for their flesh.  &lt;br /&gt;The word “love” means to lay down your life to obey the one loved.  We are called to “come out” and “touch not the &lt;br /&gt;unclean thing” if He is to receive us. (II Corinthians 6:14-7:1)&lt;br /&gt;We are also given the keys OF the Kingdom of heaven to open gates for the release of His people. Much of spiritual warfare has to do with gate keeping--opening portals for His entrance into areas where man has shut Him out, as well &lt;br /&gt;as proclaiming His messages, which are always different, to the gods that block &lt;br /&gt;the portals, also for the freedom of the remnant bound by the blockades of the &lt;br /&gt;enemy.  &lt;br /&gt;As I’ve said before so many times, LET THE SPIRIT TEACH YOU. Go over the methodology of Messiah and His Apostles in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and Acts.  Learn how they did things … and copy them!  &lt;br /&gt;We have the ability to “bind and loose”. The best translation of this passage in Matthew 16:19 is: “And I will give you the keys OF the Kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind (lock) on earth has already been locked in heaven, and what &lt;br /&gt;you loosen (unlock) on earth has already been unlocked in heaven”.  In other words, we simply re-enforce His directives into the earth.  We proclaim what He has locked, or bound out of His Kingdom and loose what He has unlocked or loosened in His Kingdom. We proclaim what He has decreed into the earth.&lt;br /&gt;Back in the Garden of Eden, man chosen to lock Yahweh and His teachings out, and to loose the power of Lucifer and his tree into the earth.  Now, the whole world system is locking Him out, and will take vengeance on His servants who try to keep doors open for Him(Revelation 12). &lt;br /&gt;We have this kind of power in our tongue!  Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” We have creative or destructive power in our thoughts and our tongue.  Your thoughts create also—be careful – bring them into subjection to the Master before they take form and cause you to sin, for what we think, we eventually do. He has allowed us to have free will, and we express that will through our tongue.  In order for Him to be able to legally come into this earth and do as He wills, He has to have a loving, faithful, trusted servant to open the doors for Him to come through. Man has shut Him out. He &lt;br /&gt;has put limits on Himself—because of His respect for our free will.  John wrote the Revelation. It has to be spoken, as all written prophecy does, into the earth, as He wills at His timing, for the release of its fulfillment.  In our calling “Come Yahushua Come!” we declare that there are a people on this earth that want His &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 15&lt;br /&gt;intervention. When we call out: “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Yahweh”, we open doors for His entrance.  Nothing can stop that. He comes because His creation is calling for Him.  In spiritual warfare, we can declare the freedom of one who wants to be free, and we can bind the enemy against those who want to be free.  We have been given this power in our mouth. But, most use their mouth for idle useless chitchat, worldly foolishness, sentimental emotional venting, poor-me whining, or anger, strife, gossip, slander, to exalt &lt;br /&gt;themselves and put others down.&lt;br /&gt;We will be judged on every idle word we have spoken.  Unless we speak “the oracles of Elohim” to honor Him, or give information that will bring Him honor and bring exposure and defeat to the evil one, let us shut up.&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 12:36-37: “…every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give &lt;br /&gt;account in the day of judgment. For by your words you shall be justified, and by &lt;br /&gt;your words you will be condemned”.   &lt;br /&gt;Abba sent me to open a door for Him in Alaska, for the remnant there. I stayed with a couple--a rabbi and his wife. They took me down to Anchorage. I stood on the peninsula of the river that flowed towards the Pacific Ocean, with Elmendorf Air Force Base to my right, the train near by, the airport to my left, and the highway behind me. I called for His guidance and protection when the remnant of His people, both Jews and Ephramites, had to flee. There are about 4,000 Jews in Alaska, and only about 2-3 Messianic congregations, at least in 2006. I called for an open door for His Presence and that of His angels. When I &lt;br /&gt;got back to the rabbis’ house, I asked Abba if I did what He wanted me to do, and if so, what did I do?  (smile)  He showed me a vision of a wooden door. It was cracked a little, maybe open about 3 inches. He said, “You opened a door for me; now I will go through it”.  OK – I just go and do what He tells me. In each case, He gives me Scriptures to declare along with His prophetic “message” to proclaim into the earth for Him.   &lt;br /&gt;All we’re called to do is to hear and obey, and speak what He says only.  Then He takes care of the rest.  We must not look back to see if our “work” for Him was paying off—it is His business. We do our part, and leave the rest to Him.  Such is the same with our family. We do all we can, but nagging won’t work. We must not play “Holy Spirit” and try to control. We must relinquish control to Him!  We cannot control demons. We can only declare as He shows us. Yes, the time is short! “Redeem the time for the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16).&lt;br /&gt;We start small with our realm of authority, beginning with our own life first, then in our own home. We can do spiritual warfare over ourselves, and we must.  If we are not free, how can we set anyone else free!  &lt;br /&gt;Humbly submit yourself to His light of scrutiny.  Let Him show you the ugliness in your own life. The self-righteous will fail miserably if they try to do spiritual warfare without being pure of heart before Abba.  &lt;br /&gt;It has everything to do with building authority level with Abba so that He trusts &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 16&lt;br /&gt;us to do and say only what He says to say and do--as He trusted His Son. Our authority level will grow in proportion to how much He can trust us!  Success in spiritual warfare comes with experience--some things can be learned in principle, but it has to be experiential. &lt;br /&gt;The demonic spirits in different parts of Africa feared me. I’ve had vicious gangs fear me. I am not scary, but, when His anointing (Presence) is on me, His power is evident. I have commanded stormy weather to obey me, when on assignment for Him, since I was in my 20s. This is normal for His servants. (Mark 4:35-5:1)  &lt;br /&gt;We can walk in His Presence, live in his Presence, and remain in His Presence, but the price is “everything” we are and have. Psalm 91 is for the warrior, who dwells in the secret place of his Master.  It is for the bold and the brave, the conquest people, who like Joshua, are full of courage and wisdom to handle it.  &lt;br /&gt;Do not move out of your assigned arena until the Master allows you. If you take on spiritual warfare regarding others when you are not free, then the enemy knows it, and has legal right to come home with you. You do not want the little &lt;br /&gt;guys or the 7’ guys in your home. They’re ugly. Neither do you want the tall, thin man with the tuxedo and tall black hat in your home talking to you in his slimy voice. That’s how Satan has appeared to me several times. The last time I heard that slimy voice, I began preaching to him about his future and he fled quickly!  &lt;br /&gt;I’ve faced powerful principalities, but they won’t come near me – they communicate with me at a few feet’s distance. As you learn to do warfare, you will attract bigger and bigger powers, but Ephesians 6:10-18!  &lt;br /&gt;I’ve been in the homes of several people who have invited me to speak, and been put in bedrooms with demonic strongholds.  I am very sensitive to these spirits. It is amazing how much spiritual warfare I have to do to just sleep in the homes of lovely Messianic believers. Often objects hold spirits, some from ancient times, as I found out on this last assignment—some from before the creation of Adam.  But, naïve people do not understand what can be a container for the evil ones. The gift of the discernment of spirits is a necessity for survival!  Ask for it!  &lt;br /&gt;Some of you might have backgrounds in Satanism, or in the occult, or in the New Age, in witchcraft covens, or in witchcraft Christianity. Some of you might have a lingering Jezebel spirit from your religious past, or home, that has remained with you—you are jealous, controlling, bossy, and have no conviction of wrong, and wonder why. Most of us have grown up with “familiar spirits” that have been passed down from generation to generation. These are sometimes called “generational curses”—spirits that do their dirty work on families from one generation to another. Many reason: “it’s an inherited problem”, or “that’s just me”--“that’s the way I am”.  We are to conform to the image of Messiah!  &lt;br /&gt;Osteoporosis is an inherited disease in my family, but many years ago, I said “NO”, I won’t have it. And I don’t. You can declare what will be, or not be! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 17&lt;br /&gt;The power is in your tongue!  I was told in 1986 that I’d be in a wheelchair shortly, and by my x-rays the doctor was right. But, I walked out of his office and said, “NO, I will walk”.  We pretty much control our destiny by our own words, for our words carry our faith, or our fear. &lt;br /&gt;Faith proclaims! Faith is bold! It obtains what it says, if doubt does not creep in. I know Christians have misused this passage but it is still valid—Mark 11:22-24. We can have what we say, if it is said because He has said it to us.   &lt;br /&gt;Those whose families were Masons, or who belonged to other secret societies, must break the curses of the lingering spirits. It is the same with those with abuse backgrounds, those with certain illnesses and afflictions, those with &lt;br /&gt;negative personality traits, those with certain drug-related addictions, and those with pornography and sexual perversion addictions. Many spirits that we grew up with have attached themselves to us without our knowing it. &lt;br /&gt;But, we can deliver ourselves by willful declaration!  Speak to the spirits. Tell them you do not want them in your life. Begin to praise Yahweh, and let the evil ones know that your loyalty is to Yahweh. Some are strong spirits that require someone else to stand with you to call them off. But, always remember to send them to the “dry places” for judgment, and tell them not to return. &lt;br /&gt;You have authority to call off “familiar spirits” off your children. You have the power and authority to break generational curses off your family!  Speak to the spirits. Tell them you’re tired of them ruling your life, and to get out of your home and not come back. But be bold, not yelling and screaming, but bold—authoritative, firm, as in speaking to a naughty dog that is &lt;br /&gt;pestering you. Take that same tone.&lt;br /&gt;When someone is in your home who likes the way they are, and has no intention &lt;br /&gt;of changing, yet they are disturbing the peace of your home, you can “bind” that spirit from operating. Remember: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places!” (Ephesians 6:12)&lt;br /&gt;Human bodies, like the pigs at Gadera, or some object, or animal, or reptile, are simply containers for the spirits. Speak to the spirits firmly, but do not rail on them or on the person whom they inhabit. When you tear down the person, they hold on to their demons harder in self defense.  &lt;br /&gt;You might have to do speak to the spirits many times, but at the same time, ask Abba to send His Spirit to take control of them. It is amazing how He can change a person overnight.  &lt;br /&gt;If you take a stand to rid yourself of the rule of demonic spirits in your own life and/or in your home, you must stand firm, for they will try to come back. They will monkey with your mind at your weakest point, and there will be a battle. But, the “determinedly resolute” will be victorious, for after we’ve wrestled and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 18&lt;br /&gt;overcome, Abba will minister comfort and encouragement.  Keep your eyes on the goal – the coming King, the Kingdom, and eternal life. &lt;br /&gt;In cases of Satanism, or severe abuse, or both, or when physical abuse comes from an alcoholic, for example, or if there is a pattern of adultery or pornography, I have learned that the Elohim of Israel does not want us to endure that—we can leave. He will help us if we positively confront it. Things like drug addiction and/or alcoholism, and pornography, carry demonic spirits. In this case, when one is not repentant and humbled, and won’t ask for help, all you can do is to bind the spirits and pray for His help, or sometimes it is best to simply leave and let the Spirit deal with them.  Sometimes when we stay in a situation, we are “condoning” it – allowing it to continue. We often, in the name of hope, or mercy, or tolerance, condone sin that is destructive, to our own hurt and that of our children. This was my sin. I condoned evil--put up with it-- because of false hope. Unless we take a strong positive offensive position, Abba can do little to help us.  Faith acts … and as soon as He sees faith, He acts!&lt;br /&gt;The work of a warrior carries a certain spirit. “The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1) The enemy fears Yahweh’s warriors. &lt;br /&gt;Abba reminded me to warn you about psychic dreams and visions. The psychic dreams give literal happenings, with literal pictures … as in seeing an airline &lt;br /&gt;crash in one’s dream and the next morning one crashes. These are the dreams that mediums have. Abba’s dreams are symbolic, so that you have to refer to the &lt;br /&gt;Word and the Spirit for interpretation.   &lt;br /&gt;Be careful who is in the room or area with you when you do warfare … never take anyone with you who is not using His Names, guarding Torah, and living a set-apart life.  Messiah was very careful whom He took with Him at times when He was confronting a serious situation that required absolute faith.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies – DO NOT minister, do spiritual warfare or intercession, wearing pants/blue jeans, shorts, sleeveless or short-sleeved blouses, or anything not modest.  Men, don’t wear shorts and tank tops—dress with modesty, too. You don’t have to dress religiously – but dress modest, so that the Master would think you look nice.  A woman who is set-apart should be modest at all times … wearing something long over her pants, if she wears pants, not accentuating body form, careful to have a high enough neckline not to show private parts … though Victorian-style dressing is not required (smile).  We must respect His anointing, which is His Presence! And, be aware that American ways of dressing and acting are often offensive to those of other countries.&lt;br /&gt;Men, likewise: Dress respectfully of Abba’s presence, modestly without drawing attention to yourself. Don’t be faddish. Reflect the beauty of Messiah.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going to “high places” to “tear that devil down” – (from a song made popular by Ron Kenoly) only opens doors for the Devil to attack not only you but your family &lt;br /&gt;and friends. Hold your soulish zeal down—in fact: get rid of it!  We are to act in &lt;br /&gt;the spirit by the Spirit, never in the soul (mind, reasoning, and emotions). We are called to die to the life of self-appeasement. Get rid of any inflated opinions of yourself—if you have any. He does not speak to the volatile soul that is enmeshed in this world’s thinking and feelings. King Josiah and other good kings of Judah tore down high places of the enemy – and I mean tore down – literally—tore down their idols, their groves, and burned their priests with fire.  We are not to do that—it is the job of the Spirit.  We are to declare and speak the will of Elohim.&lt;br /&gt;Regarding “Expiation”:  This is a Roman Catholic concept – and can be demonic—it sure is a door opener to the demonic realm.  Catholic “saints” often did expiation (atoning) for the suffering of others—in the Roman Catholic Church suffering for suffering’s sake is glorified and exalted. The Dictionary says “expiation” is: “the act of atoning for someone else by personal sacrifice”.&lt;br /&gt;We cannot bear the sins of others, not their sicknesses, nor their problems, nor take on their sufferings, nor their pains, and hurts, in the guise of helping to set them free.  That’s soulish trickery by the enemy. It is purely pagan religious reasoning. Sad to say many Charismatic people do this. In its extreme it is exemplified in the Flagellates in the Philippines who whip themselves until the blood runs, thinking they are paying for their sins, or the sins of someone else.  Catholics pay money for masses to be said for the dead in Purgatory to expedite their entrance into heaven faster. Messiah Yahushua took our sins on Himself and died for us.  He was our Substitute, our Redeemer. He is &lt;br /&gt;the only One who can atone for anyone else!  He is out “propitiation”—our mercy seat. We can pray for others, we can intercede in the garments of the High Priest, as I have written about, comparing Ephesians 6:10-18 with Exodus 28, Isaiah 11 5; 59:17; I Thessalonians 5:8. &lt;br /&gt;Only the Master had the power to take on the sufferings of others, the sins, sickness, pains, and hurts.  (Isaiah 53)  We can enter the “fellowship of His sufferings” as we are persecuted for His Name’s sake – for He promised us that.  But, to take on sickness or anything else that is from the evil one, saying it is &lt;br /&gt;intercession, is un-Scriptural and foolish. Religion is all Luciferic based.  To take on oneself what the Devil did to someone else – is putting one’s self in the place of Messiah to usurp His one-for-all payment for our sickness, sins, and punishment of eternal death.  Many who do intercession, do it wrongly and attract the demonic spirits rather than repel them. They open doors for the entrance of demonic spirits into their lives to tear them up and to tear up their families.  Then they get sick and sometimes die. And some reason that it is &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 20&lt;br /&gt;because they are bearing sickness for someone else, when in fact, they are bearing sickness because they opened a door to the evil one by misusing the power of intercession – not knowing the nature and ways of the Elohim of Israel and His Messiah—Yahweh and Yahushua.  &lt;br /&gt;Much hocus pocus and foolish rituals are done in the Charismatic church in the &lt;br /&gt;name of “Jesus”, or “the Lord”--and the demons go right through those opened doors to inflict sickness and death on those who open the doors. Tragic!&lt;br /&gt;All religions of man are Luciferic based – all of them – and all lead to eternal death.  Yahweh and Yahushua have nothing to do with them. They wow people with either the religion’s intellectual prowess, or with signs and wonders from the supernatural/demonic realm.  Religion carries the nature of Lucifer, or a false humility--but at the root of it all is pride – either frontal pride or the religious humility, sweetness and niceness that is disgustingly fake—pride in reverse.  But, cross the “saintly” and they’ll kill you, either with hostile words or with a weapon.  &lt;br /&gt;Never do spiritual warfare if you are in fear…you’ve lost already. Fear is yielding to the controlling influence of Satan and his demons!  &lt;br /&gt;Abba cannot and will not operate inside anything but bold faith – in peace, calm, and rest in Him, with praise, and joy in spirit.  Fear cancels faith, and fear angers Him, just as it did Messiah in Mark 4. If we cannot boldly stand up against the enemy in our own life now, how can we stand against the enemies soon to come. For Satan/Lucifer will pull out all stops—everything he can use to destroy Yahweh’s people, he will use.   &lt;br /&gt;Yahweh will not work within a framework of whining, complaining, griping, silly desires for the appeasement of one’s flesh.  He can’t and won’t use the weak and sniveling. Die to your “feelings” – they don’t count in the eternal view of things. Mature!  Grow up!  Be an adult in His Kingdom!&lt;br /&gt;The persecuted in China are in prison an average of 17-20 years, and yet when &lt;br /&gt;they get out, they don’t want to talk about themselves, they only want to honor the Savior who kept them through it.  They call their prison time their “school” of the Spirit.  Yet, most who live in comfort land are so weak that to go up against a minor problem is too much for them, let alone a demon. Time to grow up – and do it quickly!  Stop blaming your spouse, or your kids, or your pastor, rabbi, friends, your job, your government … stop the blame game!  Let Him expose &lt;br /&gt;your rottenness to you, and then let Him clean up the defilement.   “Humble yourself under the mighty hand of Elohim, and He will lift you up.”&lt;br /&gt;In spiritual warfare, one phrase spoken with authority can bring down high arch demons – if He backs you.  It doesn’t take a lot of words, or time. Look at how much time Messiah took to deliver someone from demons – about 10 seconds.  Look how long it took Shaul to deliver the “pythoness” prophetess – about 10 &lt;br /&gt;seconds.  Don’t play games with the demons.  Don’t get them to act out. Don’t make them show out. Make them shut up.  &lt;br /&gt;Many times, parents do warfare over their children, and it is not the devil after &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 21&lt;br /&gt;their children—the devil already has been using their children—it is Abba disciplining them to set them free. Don’t play Holy Spirit.  Let the Spirit you’re your children. Once they reach 13, they’re adults. Let Him mold them, even if He has to beat them to a pulp to get them to repent. Stop making excuses for your naughty kids – like Eli did with his ratty boys. Else, like Eli’s boys, Abba will have &lt;br /&gt;to let them be killed, imprisoned, or taken down totally in some way, in order to save their eternal life.  Don’t make excuses for wrong in your child, or in yourself.  Make them tow the line, the plumb line – and you too. Live as an example of one who lives what they talk.  Religious people do not fool anyone, at least not for long.  Walk in the Spirit—give your family an example to follow.  &lt;br /&gt;Don’t wait around to do His will for your kids to follow you—they won’t. The only way they’ll follow you is if you go on to do His will without compromising or cow towing to their whining …. If you lead out in love, peace, joy and obedience, they’ll either follow or fall away…but you will drop the plumb line.  &lt;br /&gt;Spiritual warfare begins with our own warfare against our own sins and weaknesses.  Go on the warpath against disobedience in your own life, against fear, against sin, against wasting time – go after the demons and the “flesh” in your own life – then you will have the humility to remove the beam in the lives of others.    &lt;br /&gt;Often spiritual warfare becomes a judgment court – with you as judge, and everyone else guilt but you. We must first judge ourselves, and submit ourselves to the Judge of the Universe, and then we can be trusted to humbly judge wrong in others.  We are to rebuke wrong, but only as led by the Spirit.  We will judge angels, but if we can’t even judge ourselves, we won’t be judging angels…fallen ones of course. How can we stand against fallen angels and judge them—telling them to go to the dry places – and not to return – if we ourselves are full of sin?  &lt;br /&gt;Don’t play games with spiritual warfare. You are dealing with very cleaver and very powerful spirits, much smarter, more wily, and more powerful than you--in the natural.  It takes hearing His wisdom to outsmart the wicked ones. We are to be “wise as the serpents, but harmless as doves”.&lt;br /&gt;I John 4:4: “YOU ARE OF ELOHIM LITTLE CHILDREN, AND HAVE OVERCOME THEM, BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD”.  &lt;br /&gt;IF you are born of the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit, then He who is greater lives within you--you have power over the “god of this world” and his angels! You have power over your own flesh, the world’s wickedness, sin, and the Devil who controls the world.  HallelYah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In review, and to finish this series, and to let you know I instruct my children and others one-to-one as I instruct in articles to all—here I include a letter to one of my children regarding their study in spiritual warfare. My daughter learned a lot about spiritual warfare from her experiences in facing the enemy as &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 22&lt;br /&gt;a child and as a young adult. Now, she is using the knowledge she learned to overcome in her own life and to help others be free. This spring she conducted a women’s weekend retreat for quite a large group. The subject was deliverance from generational curses. I asked her later on how it went, and her response left me in awe. She said that the Spirit showed up like she’d never seen before, and people were set free. She said that her teaching had answered questions for many of the women. I was so deeply appreciative of the greatness of Yahweh’s love and compassion.  He had shown it to me, and He has shown it my children. One year previous, the enemy had tried to destroy her and her family, but one year later, Abba’s victory showed forth in her delivering others. All praise to Abba Yahweh! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My letter: “Dear Precious one: Remember II Corinthians 10:3-6 “the weapons of our warfare” … Being clothed in His righteousness – bound by truth, breastplate of righteousness, head covered in hope--the expectation of deliverance – Ephesians 6:10-18, and I Thessalonians 5:8--peace in our walk, protected by the shield of faith, but holding the sword of the Spirit (the Word) for offensive warfare.&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 59:14-18: Messiah puts on these High Priestly garments as He comes in the wrath of Elohim – doing intercession for His people.  The “armor” is “the armor Elohim” – the garments of the High Priest.  &lt;br /&gt;Praise Yahweh at the beginning and end of warfare—use Psalms. Sing His praises. Praise Yahushua for His salvation, for His blood, for His eternal life, for His protection over you and your family. &lt;br /&gt;We have these weapons at our disposal – faith above all, the Word of Elohim, the Names of Elohim – Yahweh (Yahu-weh) and Yahushua (Yahu-shua) --, &lt;br /&gt;tongues of angels, the fruit of the Spirit (His love, joy, peace, gentleness, faith, kindness, patience, longsuffering, self-control) praise and worship, and authority in our mouth over our family to speak to the enemy and declare His Word to bind (forbid/prohibit) and loose (allow/permit) the enemy to stop what he’s doing, and go – for what we will not allow the enemy to do, is not allowed (backed) in heaven. What we command the enemy to do is allowed in heaven (backed).  Matthew 16:19 – He has given us the keys OF the Kingdom of heaven to unlock prison doors so that His people might go free, and to close prison doors on those enemies that are trying to “kill, steal and destroy”.  &lt;br /&gt;Demonic spirits are legalists. Choose your words well and methodically. Command them to go to the dry places of judgment, and not return. They jump onto others as you know, and return with reinforcements, if not told to go to the dry places to wait for judgment, and not to return.  But, they also know if we have hidden sin or are allowing things in our life and our home that are open doors for them – and if they find open doors in our lives, then instead of us &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 23&lt;br /&gt;having power over them, they have legal power over us – and you can incur the sons of Sceva situation (Acts 19:1-16). &lt;br /&gt;They will fear us if we are backed by Yahweh’s authority, and they can find no entrance in us. So repentance and submission to Yahweh are imperative before doing warfare.  Abba has gifted you in deliverance – and therefore, after making sure all doors are closed in your own life, go forward to declare over your family, and He will back you 100%. &lt;br /&gt;This doesn’t mean we have to be perfect before doing spiritual warfare, &lt;br /&gt;just pure of heart and repentant and submitted to Him, depending on Him to do the job for your freedom.    &lt;br /&gt;In warfare, we must never act outside of the perimeters of our Yah-backed authority. We must never declare in emotion of the flesh, but in calm boldness under the authority of Yah’s Spirit.  He can only back what is within the perimeters of His will, -- His Word as interpreted by Him, spoken in His Names.  &lt;br /&gt;Zechariah 3:2 is the most powerful rebuke in the universe—for Yahweh &lt;br /&gt;Himself uses His own Name in rebuking Satan, and He reminds Satan that Jerusalem is His, and He will rule from there.  &lt;br /&gt;Declaration and proclamation in warfare with the backing of Abba Yahweh in accordance with Their Word is final – the demonic world is legalistic – they can only operate if there is an open door given to them. So close all doors. You can’t have what is of the world and Lucifer coming into your house, and then try to get rid of him. If his fallen ones are allowed in as a part of lifestyle, he has every right to stay. The Word clearly states that we must not purposely look on evil, if we want His help. “The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil…”  (Proverbs 8:13) Therefore, you are very wise to monitor the cartoons, and other TV media. The &lt;br /&gt;TV is an open channel for the demonic to come through, especially now.  So we have to hate the works of the enemy in ourselves and in what we allow--hating it &lt;br /&gt;coming into our house by any media or persons.&lt;br /&gt;Scriptures to declare personalized and declared out loud:&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 54:13-14, 17: Peace and protection on Jon (her son)&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 49:25: “I will strive with him who strives with you. And I will save your children”.  One day I was crying and praying over my children. I had my Bible open in my lap. As I was saying “save my children”, I looked down at this verse, and read: “I WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN”.  Halleluiah!&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 115:13-15 &lt;br /&gt;Psalm 147:13-14 &lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 20:7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For the raising of your wonderful son: Deuteronomy 6:6-8; Joshua 1:7-9 &lt;br /&gt;and Psalm 119:9-11. &lt;br /&gt;It is the job of the father particularly, but also the mother, to teach the child the basics of Torah (instructions and teachings of the kingdom of heaven for our &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 24&lt;br /&gt;freedom, salvation, happiness, health and contentment) from an early age--beginning with the Ten Commandments, and love for Him as Abba Yahweh.  &lt;br /&gt;(Deuteronomy 6:6-7)&lt;br /&gt; “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”. (Psalm 119:105) By teaching him the Ten Commandments you address those things &lt;br /&gt;that are problematic in children in general. Examples: “Honor your father and your mother”.  “Do not bear false witness”: No lying. By letting Jon know the perimeters of the commands of Yahweh, as well as His forgiveness and love, you will help him to psychologically develop with peace, but also realization that he has responsibility to Elohim and his parents to do right.&lt;br /&gt;“You shall love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart, mind and soul…”  (Deuteronomy 6:5)  “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18)  &lt;br /&gt;Teaching simple Torah, simply guides a child into accountability to One higher than himself – responsibility to be a good citizen in the kingdom of heaven. &lt;br /&gt;Declare for yourself and family Yahweh’s protection on your minds and emotions.  The enemy can only disturb, torment, and lie to the mind, and disturb the emotions … he cannot disturb your re-born spirit.  The enemy, as you have seen, can also appear and torment Jon, so that he leans towards his sin nature in rebellion.  You can stop the process of tormenting and appearing, and rebellion in Jon by proclamation—telling the enemy “NO—You will NOT take my son!”.  By teaching him the Word in the home, he will have his mind filled with weapons of warfare, so that his mind will reject what he hears and sees and is influenced by in the demonic world, but also in the world of his peers. The enemy is out to demonize children – thus the campaign is incredibly huge through TV, movies, video games, and personal contact with other children who &lt;br /&gt;have seen these movies, etc. – like Harry Potter, and the Disney movies about wizards and witches.  Walt Disney was a very powerful Wicca witch – and most &lt;br /&gt;of his messages of the occult world is taught to children through his cartoons and movies.  &lt;br /&gt;Declare over your son:&lt;br /&gt;He has the “helmet of salvation”&lt;br /&gt;He has truth as his shield&lt;br /&gt;He has righteousness as his breastplate&lt;br /&gt;He has peace as he walks&lt;br /&gt;He has faith as his shield’&lt;br /&gt;He has the Word of Yahweh as his sword  (From Ephesians 6:10-18)&lt;br /&gt;Declare protection over his mind and emotions, that Yahweh has complete &lt;br /&gt;control over him – that no devil will take him in body, soul or spirit.  That he will not be taken by the evil human authorities of this world, nor have his mind turned from simple faith in Yahushua Messiah.  &lt;br /&gt;I have declared many times, when the enemy has attacked you children: ‘Satan &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 25&lt;br /&gt;you will not have my children!”  But, also declare: “Satan, you will not have me, you will not have my husband!”  &lt;br /&gt;Say all your declarations out loud with boldness—but not with anger or emotions that will let the enemy know you are projecting from your head and not your spirit. The Spirit of Yahweh only backs what is of Him—projected out in declaration from our re-born spirit, with His boldness. (I John 5:14-15)&lt;br /&gt;You close doors by your will – by simply proclaiming: “We will have no other spirits in our house except the Spirit of Yahweh!”  “I close all doors to the spirits of witchcraft, anaconda python, jezebel, pornography and perversion. I close all doors to tormenting spirits, spirits of anger, rebellion, the spirit of death, and sickness. I stop all action of spirits of fear and anxiety, of confusion or insanity, of control, and I bind witchcraft, and all these spirits and command them to go to the dry places to await the judgment of Yahweh.&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 31:1-2: He promises to fight those that oppose you … Say: Abba, fight for me, fight for my husband and child…  You can include these prayers for the families of your sisters and brother. You have bold right of authority within your family personally, but also with your sisters and brother, and their children.  &lt;br /&gt;Offensive warfare tells the enemy by proclamation and declaration what he is going to do or not do.  Defensive warfare is not what you want – you must put the enemy on alert as to what he will not do.  Once the enemy is in your house, it is not easy to drive him out … but we must do both defensive and offensive warfare.  In defensive warfare, do prophetic action. Open the door, and as you make your proclamations, kick the things out – as in kicking with your foot.   Take a bold stand, and then go on the offense.  &lt;br /&gt;These are things Abba told me to tell you, last night.  I wrote them down, and this morning I am giving them to you at your request. &lt;br /&gt;As you take command over your own house to allow Yahweh to rule your house and your son, then He will increase your authority to help others. As I learned spiritual warfare for so many years, when I went to Africa, I could command demons out of others and they obeyed me instantly.  It was incredible. They knew me – because of the authority level.  &lt;br /&gt;After doing warfare, anointing your windows and doors, and kicking out the evil ones, then praise Yahweh. &lt;br /&gt;But—do not put what is set-apart on the defiled.  Do not put oil on demonic portals – on gates of the enemy.  Haggai 2!  &lt;br /&gt;I am finding that praise is perhaps the fastest way of getting rid of spirits. I have had some big ones come to me recently because of the assignments I am on for Abba – and as I began to raise my hands and praise Yahweh with song and from Psalms, they left and did not return.  &lt;br /&gt;So always, always, when finished with your declarations and proclamations of warfare, praise Yahweh – use Psalms if you want, and praise Yahweh for His salvation – for His blood that saved your family – for His resurrection that has &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 26&lt;br /&gt;given your family eternal life – for His soon coming. &lt;br /&gt;Call loudly: “Come Yahushua Come!”&lt;br /&gt;This will let the evil spirit world know to leave you alone—you’re dangerous!  &lt;br /&gt;The more you praise and proclaim victory – the more they will fear you, and leave you and your family alone.&lt;br /&gt;I know you are wise – and I simply here am reinforcing your wisdom.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-4942558581640104359?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/4942558581640104359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/01/scriptural-spiritual-warfare-part-iii.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/4942558581640104359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/4942558581640104359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/01/scriptural-spiritual-warfare-part-iii.html' title='Scriptural Spiritual Warfare  Part III'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-1999879023966815608</id><published>2011-01-03T12:37:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2011-01-03T12:37:25.919-06:00</updated><title type='text'>SCRIPTURAL SPIRITUAL WARFARE     Part II</title><content type='html'>SCRIPTURAL SPIRITUAL WARFARE&lt;br /&gt;PART II -- Strategies and Cautions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From IDE Thomas’ The Omega Conspiracy, page 121, c. 1980&lt;br /&gt;“The burgeoning of demonic activity in our time is proof of our proximity to the `last days’ and to the mightiest power encounter in all history.  The `sons of God’ are on a collision course with the saints of God and we may well be witnessing the opening scenario.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, the late 1980s opened the door leading to the final collision course that is upon us now. &lt;br /&gt;The “sons of God” being the fallen angels of Genesis 6:2,4 who extended themselves into the earth through human bodies and DNA manipulation.  &lt;br /&gt;“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be…” (Matthew 24:37) &lt;br /&gt;The most distinguishing sign of the days of Noah was DNA manipulation and the destruction of the human gene pool, creating giants and monstrosities, who later became the gods of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo/Persia, Greece and Rome-- the great empires of history that became the enemies of the people of Yahweh.  Now these empires have joined together under Lucifer in a “composite Beast” – of “seven heads” – 7 empires – including the final world empire now forming quickly--all returning in their individual “glory” to join with the “Beast” in an attempt to destroy the image and likeness of Yahweh, especially the children of Ya’cob (Israel).  (Refer to the article: “Nebuchadnezzar”)&lt;br /&gt;The time of Revelation 12:7-17 is close. Once Micha’el throws out Lucifer and his fallen ones onto the earth, they will go after the set-apart ones with a vengeance. Daniel 7:21, 25 and Revelation 13:7 tell us that he will overcome and kill the majority of the set-apart ones—those not already dead from nuclear war, radiation, famine, disease, and poison water, etcetera.     &lt;br /&gt;The greatest war of all history is soon to go into full battle combat—the fallen angels in bodies (Nephilim) and those without bodies (demons), with their multitude of human agents, against the tiny remnant of Yahweh with simple, humble, trusting, childlike faith and loyalty to the One they love. &lt;br /&gt;The army of Yahweh consists of a well trained force of 144,000 chosen officers, and others who know their Elohim, and won’t give up, even to death. I agree with others, that the majority of these 144,000 are NOT from western nations.  The characteristics and qualifications of the 144,000 require an eastern mindset.    &lt;br /&gt;The days ahead will automatically send the 22,000 fearful, but honest, home from the battlefield, and the ones with inflated opinions of their abilities--the 9,700--home also. This leaves the “Gideon 300!” (Refer to: Judges 7) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 1&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 6:10-18 gives us the armor of Elohim.  Messiah, the soon-coming High Priest, puts on this armor as He comes in the wrath of Yahweh. (Isaiah 59:15-18)  The armor of Elohim is the garments of the High Priest. (Refer to the study: “Correct Intercession and Spiritual Warfare in the Garments of the High Priest”, relating this armor to Exodus 28, and other Scriptures)&lt;br /&gt;Above all things, the golden plate has to be over the forehead – which reads: “Set-Apart to Yahweh”.  Without this written over one’s mind in the spirit realm, no one should go against the enemy on behalf of others.  Without this gold plate over his turban, the High Priest could not intercede for the people.  &lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 6:10-12: “…be strong in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength.  Put on the complete armor of Elohim for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the Devil, because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, authorities, against the world rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places, and having done all to stand, stand therefore…”  &lt;br /&gt;The first piece of armor is that which girds our loins with truth. I Peter 1:13-16: “…Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, set your expectations perfectly upon the favor that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Yahushua Messiah, as obedient children…because it has been written: `Be set apart, as I am set apart’ ”.   &lt;br /&gt;The loin area is where the spirit is located.  It is where the Spirit enters upon the true new birth. It is where the Spirit abides if asked (Luke 3:16; 11:13).  It is where He speaks to us. It is where we are empowered.  The re-born spirit can contact the eternal realm of Yahweh. In fact, must live in that realm.  But, most just have a head belief-system, and their spirit is dead. The transformed spirit must be allowed the freedom to transform the soul (mind, emotions, will) so that the whole “spirit-man” that lives inside will be in perfect harmony.  Nothing will stop a person whose whole being is controlled by the Spirit of Yahweh! (Refer to: “The True New Birth”)&lt;br /&gt;I was invited to Tanzania to preach/teach 28 meetings.  But, as my African Director and I started for Tanzania, I began aching all over. I thought I was getting the flu.  During the trip from Kenya, the fever came. By the time we got to Musoma, I developed 13 of 15 symptoms of malaria. Quickly I moved to the final stage of malaria before death--with no mind left—not even remembering my own name--and too weak to sit up for a minute. But, I could think through my spirit, which has its own mind, and I asked them to prop me up with pillows in a chair in the church. I preached for 2 hours at a time—in 3 meetings. How did I do that?  I heard the voice of the Spirit in my spirit behind my belly button, in the stomach/reproductive area, which is perfected by the new birth, where love for the truth resides, and I spoke what He said. The translator translated, and I rapid-fire preached 2 hours straight without stopping, as strong as any healthy person. They took me back and laid me down, and later I did it again, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 2&lt;br /&gt;and again.  But, still I could not remember my own name. He did not let me die, as you can tell, but I learned strongly what it was like to live out of my spirit without the use of my mind.  This is what we all have to learn on a daily basis—without contracting malaria!  &lt;br /&gt;We do not fight flesh and blood. Human beings controlled by demonic forces can kill, character assassinate, and destroy one’s life.  We can do nothing to stop human will!  Don’t try to control anyone!  That’s a characteristic of witchcraft, even if you think you’re doing it for the person’s good.  The world system tells you that all they do is for your good, too, but it is for their good.  Do not try to cross human will.  Live His life by example. Let the Spirit do what He does best—convict of sin. Each person has the right to their own will.&lt;br /&gt;John 6:44: “No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…it has been written in the prophets `And they shall all be taught by Yahweh. Everyone, then, who has heard from the Father and learned, comes to Me”.  Of course the Spirit is Abba Yahweh.  DO NOT PLAY “HOLY SPIRIT”!  &lt;br /&gt;He does not need your help.  Let go of anyone you’re trying to change, and let the Spirit do the work. Go forth to obey the Master as a good servant!  &lt;br /&gt;People often use intercession and spiritual warfare to do witchcraft—to remove pastors, youth leaders, rabbis, and in general to rearrange the world to what they think is right.  Abba is NOT in this at all!  Let Elohim be Elohim.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiritual warfare is not a game--but serious warfare for discipline warriors. Only Yahweh (the Spirit) has the right to pick your battles!  Only Yahweh has the right to direct your warfare on the battlefield!  You are only a warrior if He backs you because He trusts you!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re at the time where many are having dreams and visions. (Joel 2:28-29)&lt;br /&gt;I have had them regularly since being filled with the Spirit in 1966.  I understand what is of Yahweh and what is of the enemy.   He always interprets His dreams upon awakening, but usually the interpretation is evident if one knows the Word. The Spirit never goes beyond the boundaries of the Word. Because of lack of discernment, many are having the same type of dreams that witches, mediums, and sorcerers have – psychic dreams.  The psychic dream is soul-related--from the head. &lt;br /&gt;Yahweh NEVER talks to the reasoning head, it is too volatile, ever- changing, in constant flux, depending on the flesh’s “feelings”.  It can only contact this present world by the five senses. The soul contacts the natural world around it, but can also contact the demonic world—thus the phenomenon we often see by the supernatural world—the lying signs and wonders. Abba’s world of the eternal can only be contacted through the re-born spirit!  This is why we must live out of the spirit, and discipline the soul to align to the will of the Spirit in our spirit.  &lt;br /&gt;Page 3&lt;br /&gt;In the physic dream, details of what is happening are told—like a plane crash, the whereabouts of the body of a murdered child, actual people one knows in different situations, etc. The enemy’s children have this type of dream. The police often use psychics/mediums to find missing children.  I knew a very powerful ex-Satanist, whom the police later used to find missing children—many kidnapped for human sacrifice around Halloween.  &lt;br /&gt;The word “psychic” refers to the mind and emotions (“soul”--natural life force).  Oftentimes, Lucifer and his cohorts talk to the mind--while we’re awake and while we sleep--to tell the mind what they want the mind to think and know.  His human agents have been mind-programming the American people since around 1946, as part of Operation Paperclip, and the results is horrifyingly mind-boggling!  The enemy loves to tell what he’s done—he is very proud of his accomplishments. He is proud that he kills people. He is proud that he causes people to sin.  He is proud that he has caused plane crashes.  We must stop psychic input by Satan by boldly declaring that we only want to hear from Yahweh, and for the demons of psychic input to leave you and not return. Yet, many are proud of their psychic dreams.&lt;br /&gt;The dreams from Yahweh are always symbolic!  They are all Word-based—throughout the whole Word.  In the Word, we see that dreams had to be interpreted by one of Yahweh's servants, like Joseph or Daniel. I have the gift of the interpretation of dreams, but this gift is not given to many, for psychics, mediums, and occult practitioners say they can interpret dreams too.  To interpret a dream of Yahweh one has to know well His personality and nature, as well as His Word as a whole unit, for often the enemy counterfeits very closely!  Beware of psychic dreams and visions—they are NOT SIMPLY Satan fooling with your mind. People who have psychic dreams have opened a door for the enemy’s entrance, and oftentimes they are very proud of their dreams, and want to tell everyone about them. I shut that down… I won’t listen to what is not of my Abba!  &lt;br /&gt;We must protect our mind from input from the enemy. Close all doors of your mind and emotions to the input of the enemy! &lt;br /&gt;In spiritual warfare, you DO NOT need to know the name of each demon—in fact, you should not learn the names of demons.  Just call them off, in the Name of Yahweh, or the Name of Yahushua Yahweh, in boldness, by what they do.  Examples: “I command the spirit of depression off of Linda, and I command you to go to the dry places to remain for judgment!”  Or, “I command the spirit of pornography off of my son, and release you to go in the Name of Yahweh”.  &lt;br /&gt;You have authority over your family. You have authority over your own life.  You have authority if someone asks you to deliver them.  You have no authority over anything else, unless it is for the purpose of Abba’s Yahweh’s strategies on the battlefield, as in portal opening/gate keeping.  Deliverance comes by bold proclamation of His will to the demon.  Sometimes, you just say “Get out of her &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 4&lt;br /&gt;Devils in the Name of Yahweh” – for oftentimes they gang up on you.  This is how Messiah did it. This is how the Apostles and His disciples did it.   Go through the four “Gospels” and the book of Acts, and list the methodology of Messiah and His Apostles and disciples. Do as they did! &lt;br /&gt;A great part of the time disease, infirmity, and deformity, strokes, crippling, and the like, are demonic activity. I was in a remote area of Uganda. I was in a little stick church, about to preach. I looked down and saw a lady near the front of the platform. I was told she was completely deaf, but that a lady had led her to salvation--the deaf woman could read lips. The Spirit drew me to her. I went down and commanded the spirit of deafness off of her. I then returned to the platform. I watched her. Her eyes got big and she began looking shocked.  She rubbed her ears.  Then she got up and came to me, and threw herself across my lap sobbing. She could hear.  &lt;br /&gt;But, isn’t this what Messiah did? Mark 9:25-26: “When Yahushua saw the people come running, He rebuked the foul spirit saying to it: `You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you to come out of him and enter into him no more.’ And the spirit cried and tore him, but came out of him…”  &lt;br /&gt;Two things always appear in Scripture to do with deliverance 1) the command of the demon spirits off of a person, and 2) telling them not to return.  &lt;br /&gt;Oftentimes one is healed of physical infirmity by being delivered from demons.  People have been healed of crippling diseases instantly, by someone calling off the spirit that caused the crippling. The effects from a stroke can often be healed, when the demon that caused the stroke is cast out--cancer the same way. &lt;br /&gt;Don’t get flakey!  Not everything is a demon!  Don’t go looking for demons!  If one is involved, cast it out, and then pray for healing. &lt;br /&gt;Many times disease, crippling, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, heart failure, and other physical problems are caused by holding in grief, bitterness, unforgiveness, hate, anger, and other negative memory reactions to hurt.  The spirits of these reactions go into the muscles and tissues to produce destruction.  If you take in spirits of destruction, you’ll get destruction.  Fibromyalgia is very painful. It is a result of stored grief, bitterness, hate, and anger in the muscles. Memory is not all stored in the brain—much of it is stored in our muscles, bones, and other body tissue.  King David says that his bones were dried because of grief.  I had a bad case of Fibromyalgia. When I learned what its source was, I asked Abba to remove all these things from my life, and the pains of the past that caused these reactions. In a few hours, the Fibromyalgia was gone.  Also therapeutic grade (living plant frequencies) essential oils, high in sesquiterphenes (Cederwood, Sandalwood, and Frankincense) have the ability to transform traumatized cells and restore them to healthy normalcy.  These are also “oils of joy”.  &lt;br /&gt;If you do things the Scripture way, you will get the Scripture results! Messiah is our mentor!  The Apostles are our mentors.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 5&lt;br /&gt;Being filled with the Spirit, boldly command the demon out, telling them, or it, not to return, but to go to the dry places to await judgment.  &lt;br /&gt;I’ve learned so much by experience! The demonic world is legalistic. If you do not tell them to go and not return, they will return with seven more.  They will jump.  In doing deliverance, never ever touch the person being delivered!  You might take one home with you.  I’ve had that happen.  The demonic world is visible at times.  I was in a situation lately, where the demonic spirits were so powerful in the house I was staying in, that even the four-year old child was demonized.  I saw 7’ men walking in the house.  My friends who came to visit saw them too.  Then I went to visit people in Central America, and because I didn’t shed my “shadows”, the people there saw 7’ men walking outside their house. I rebuked that, and they went, of course.  &lt;br /&gt;Many go into demonic areas on vacation, like to Asia or Africa, or even parts of Europe, and they come home with “visitors”.  Sometimes people buy little wooden carvings, not realizing they are gods, or Buddha incense burners, or other things in which demons dwell … stones and wood are common dwelling places, as well as human bodies, of demons. This is why I had to speak to &lt;br /&gt;ancient stones in my recent portals trips.  Go through your house and make sure you have nothing that is associated with the occult.  Do not give away these things—destroy them.  In Acts 19:19, they had a great bond fire, and burned their witchcraft paraphernalia, and their books associated with witchcraft.  &lt;br /&gt;Go through your clothing. Make sure no demonic symbols are on your clothes or on other things in your house—like spirals, the paisley print, circumpunts (a circle with a dot in the middle), images of dragons, sun bursts, or crucifixes, etc.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Binding The Strong Man:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 12:22-30: “And when they brought unto Him one possessed of the devil—blind and dumb—and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.  And all the people were amazed… And when the Pharisees heard it they said, `This fellow casts out devils by Be’elzebub, the prince of the devils’.  And Yahushua knew what was in their thoughts and said, `Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation…and if Satan casts our Satan, he is divided against himself.  How, then, shall his kingdom stand? … But, if I cast out devils by the Spirit of Elohim, then the Kingdom of Elohim has come to you.  Or else, how can one enter into a strong man’s house and spoil his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then he will spoil his house’ ”. &lt;br /&gt;Luke 11:20-21, 24-27: “`But, if I with the finger of Elohim cast out demons, no doubt the Kingdom of Elohim has come to you.  When an armed strong man keeps his palace, his goods are in peace.  But, when one stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor in which he &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 6&lt;br /&gt;trusted, and divides his spoil.’ … When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest. And finding none, he says, `I will return to my house from where I came. And when he comes he finds it swept and decorated. Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”&lt;br /&gt;Wisdom:  After a person is delivered, you or someone else, they must fill that empty house with the Word, day and night without ceasing.  They must utter praises to Yahweh every chance they get.  They must speak out the Psalms of deliverance, every chance they get—verbally and firmly.  A person who is delivered, and then born of the Spirit, must fill that empty space with the Word, prayer, praise, and the giving out of their testimony of deliverance.  Otherwise, they will get re-invaded and overtaken.  &lt;br /&gt;This happens to so many. They get free, but they do not continue in His Word, and so they are taken away into deception, and overcome.&lt;br /&gt;John 8:31-32: “So Yahushua said to those Jews who believed Him: `IF YOU STAY in My Word, you are truly My taught ones (disciples), and you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free’ ”.  &lt;br /&gt;Exodus 8:19: “The magicians said to Pharaoh `This is the finger of Elohim’ ”.  &lt;br /&gt;Exodus 31:18: “He gave Moshe two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim” The finger of Elohim is the Spirit of Yahweh. To move in His power you must be backed by “the finger of Elohim!&lt;br /&gt;How does one bind the strong man? You first have to know who the strong man is, and after binding him, it is easy to get rid of his cohorts. Many times, people rebuke a particular deadly disease, like cancer, but do not bind the strong man—the principality of Death.  Cancer might leave, but a fatal heart attack might happen. If the spirit of Death is after someone, rebuke the strong man, or all sorts of things will happen to kill that person.  &lt;br /&gt;We have the power of binding and losing, along with the keys OF the Kingdom of heaven. The keys unlock doors of prison houses for His people. Many are bound by sexual perversion, spirits of pornography, and homosexuality, but the powerful keys OF the Kingdom have the power to lose one from that prison, IF the person wants to be freed!  Unless a person wants to be free of demonic control nothing will work to set them free.  Yahweh respects our free will!   &lt;br /&gt;Matthew 18:18-20: “Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth has already been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, has already been loosed in heaven. Again I say to you that if you agree on earth concerning any thing that they ask it shall be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My Name there I am in their midst”. &lt;br /&gt;The prayer of agreement is the most powerful prayer on earth. But, make sure that what you ask is according to His will, otherwise you won’t get anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 7&lt;br /&gt;He only answers His Word as backed by His authority!  Yelling Bible verses at the devil won’t do anything but give you a sore throat.  &lt;br /&gt;I was in Aqaba, Jordan, waiting for a store to open at 10:00 AM. About 9:40, people began coming, rattling the door, looking through the glass, then walking away when they realized the door was closed.  At about 10:03, here came a jolly man with a big set on keys on a big key ring.  People gathered around him. He placed the key into the lock, turned it, and the door opened. The people were then free to enter the store.  Abba spoke to me: “Intercession has to be done on site, prayer can be done anywhere”. &lt;br /&gt;***Intercession is inserting the key into a lock, opening a portal, door, or gate, for the freedom of His people to enter, and also to open what has been locked for Yahweh’s entrance.  &lt;br /&gt;***Spiritual warfare is similar, but different--taking the keys OF the Kingdom and inserting them in the “gates of Hades” – to set His people free—standing in the portals of the enemy for His purposes to free people, and to open doors for His entrance.  &lt;br /&gt;The keys OF the Kingdom are given to His servants whom He trusts to unlock the doors of the enemy, to let His people out, and Him in!  It is not a game!&lt;br /&gt;The keys are in our mouth – the words that He gives us to do the proclamations and declarations that He wills. The keys are His prophetic Word! The keys are the proclamations of deliverance, as we command the enemy to leave, and pray for the Spirit of Yahweh to come!   The proclamations of praise are the keys to opening doors for Him. &lt;br /&gt;We must discipline and train our tongue: “As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold favor of Elohim. If any man speak, let him speak the oracles of Elohim”. (I Peter 4:10-11)  We must not speak outside of His will. &lt;br /&gt;Our thoughts must be under His total control!  The soul must be disciplined, for it is a wild horse charging to our destruction. Only the Spirit can control the tongue. We must submit our thoughts and our words to His control, even as Messiah said that He did nothing and said nothing unless His Father (the Spirit) told Him what to do and say.  We must follow the example of our Master—we are to be “as” our Master.  &lt;br /&gt;“With the high praises of Elohim in our mouth, and a two-edged sword in our hand” … (Psalm 149:6-9) we go forth to bring His judgment and right ruing into the earth. &lt;br /&gt;“We will judge angels, how much more the matters of this life!” (I Corinthians 6:3) Of course this is talking about the fallen angels. But, this privilege is only given to those whose obedience is complete.  If one is playing games with the kingdom of darkness, which includes religion, they are part of the fallen one’s realm.  In an army, only the qualified are allowed into the battle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 8&lt;br /&gt;And in war, there has to be 100% total commitment to the commanding officer, without any second thoughts.  &lt;br /&gt;II Corinthians 10:3-6: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in Elohim to the overthrowing of strongholds, overthrowing reasoning, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to the Messiah, and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete”.  &lt;br /&gt;The “flesh” is our human life force that reasons, feels, and depends on input from the five senses that contacts the natural realm. It is the seat of the sin-prone nature.  Yet, most of Yahweh’s people, no matter how nice they appear under their mask of spirituality, live their entire lives out of this “flesh” mind.  They shut down His input from the eternal realm to the spirit, and choose instead to listen to their own intellect and other people’s opinions, and wonder why they are destroyed.  In the days ahead the masks will be removed, and what is underneath will be evident to all. In the days ahead, those who only live out of their soul and their fleshly desires will die, and few will be received into the Kingdom of “His Dear Son”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Therefore brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh you will die, but if through the Spirit you kill (mortify) the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, they are the sons of Elohim. For we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry `Abba, Abba’. The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of Elohim. And if children, then heirs of Elohim, and joint-heirs with Messiah IF we suffer with Him, that we might be esteemed (“glorified” KJV) together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the esteem (“glory” KJV) which shall be revealed in us”. (Romans 8:14-18)  (All added italics in this article are mine)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I Corinthians 10:12: “…let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he falls”.  Pride in one’s spirituality is no more than pride in a fake.  &lt;br /&gt;The battle has now moved from a personal arena, where individuals use spiritual warfare to get the Devil out of their homes, work arena, church or assembly, into an end-time battle of the ages on a world stage.&lt;br /&gt;The battle is now at the gate!  Isaiah 28:5-6: YAHWEH gives strength to those who “turn the battle at the gate”. This battle is Lucifer/Satan and his multitude of forces against the tiny remnant of Yahweh. This battle determines both physical and spiritual death, or spiritual life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be a “turn coat” and betray the commanding officer, or one’s fellow soldiers, is sure spiritual death.  &lt;br /&gt;There is no place for those with fear, cowardice, weakness, softness, whining, complaining, excuse making, or for turning back, in this army!  This battle is for those who know their Elohim, as He is!  &lt;br /&gt;II Timothy 2:3-4: “Suffer hardship as a good soldier of Yahushua Messiah. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in the affairs of this life, in order to please only him who has enlisted him to be a soldier”.    &lt;br /&gt;Suffering hardship begins with death to self, so that one is at the disposal 100% &lt;br /&gt;of their Commanding Officer. The severity of spiritual warfare is much graver than that of physical warfare.  In physical warfare, one might lost their physical life. If their life is hidden in Messiah by faith, their spirit man continues on into everlasting life.  But, in spiritual warfare, if the enemy wins, his prize is one’s life—body, soul and spirit—to join him in the eternal flames of the lake of fire.  The stakes are much higher in spiritual warfare. To the victor who overcomes goes great reward in the Kingdom of Yahushua.  Read Revelation chapters 1-3 and list the rewards of those that overcome.    &lt;br /&gt;Philippians 1:27-29: “Only, behave yourselves--worthy of the Good News of Messiah--…without being frightened in any way by those who oppose, which to them truly is proof of destruction, but to you of deliverance, and that from Elohim. Because to you it has been given as a FAVOR on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake…”   &lt;br /&gt;Acts 14:22: “…strengthening the souls of the disciples (taught ones), encouraging them to continue in the faith, and that through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom of Elohim”.  This is why “few there be that find it”…&lt;br /&gt;II Timothy 3:11-12: “Trustworthy is the Word: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He shall also deny us”.  To “deny” is to be ashamed of Him, as well as to deny His Person, or His first coming. &lt;br /&gt;These are not subjects usually taught in religious circles!  It is those that “know their Elohim” who will be strong and do exploits – be strong and valiantly act!  (Daniel 11:32)  Few are strong, few will act, few will do any exploits, because most have an illusionary “God” , one they’ve made up in their heads that satisfies their thinking.  Few take the time to know the real Abba Yahweh and  Yahushua.  &lt;br /&gt;The commanding officer must know his troops as individuals, so that he can assign each a task that fits their abilities. But, in this battle, it is a battle to the death, and reaches far beyond a self-created world, to a global arena.    &lt;br /&gt;This is the most serious battle the earth has ever known, both in the natural realm and in the spiritual realm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 24:21-22a: “For then there shall be great distress, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved…”  &lt;br /&gt;In the two two-page Scripture lists, entitled “All Flesh” and “No Flesh Saved But A Remnant”, we find that almost no human beings will be left alive in the 3-5 years.  Some in Edom will survive until Messiah comes. His return path is from Sinai, to Mt. Paran, to Timan (most likely today’s Tybet Zamon, to Mt. Seir (Petra/Edom) and on to Bozrah about 40 miles north.  It’s a straight path from Sinai to Bozrah.  The resurrection occurs as He passes over Edom.      &lt;br /&gt;Fear that is allowed to control cancels faith!  Fear attracts the enemy. Faith repels the enemy. But faith has to rooted in what He has said to us &lt;br /&gt;personally—not in what we assume is for us.  &lt;br /&gt;Never take a verse out of context and assume it is for you.  You must know the Word in context, who it is written to, and if it applies to you or not. Not all Scripture applies to you.  You must be Spirit-taught!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU MUST BE SPIRIT-TAUGHT!  He teaches our re-born spirit, not our head. Just this morning, as usual, in the 30 minutes I was out walking, I came back to journal five pages of the revelation He showed me.  He talks. He’s a Person.  He speaks in at least forty ways (Refer to: “The Forty Ways Elohim Speaks to His People”) but never by circumstances, never by happenstance, never by speaking to the soul. King Jehoshaphat was up against an army that was much stronger than he. If he had reasoned in his head, he and his army would have turned tail and run.  But, instead of reasoning in his fearful brain, he asked a Prophet of Yahweh to give the Word of Yahweh.  Yahuweh’s words are in II Chronicles 20—powerful for us today!  King Jehoshaphat, King of Judah, listened to the Prophet and obeyed.  By singing they won the battle. &lt;br /&gt;The mind—reasoning. intellect, human logic, and fleshly emotions—the seat of the sin-prone nature, the “flesh”, the “carnal” self—useless in battle. Abba won’t waste His time speaking to your human logic! But, western culture is based on human logic. The Word is only understood by an eastern/Hebrew mind-set.&lt;br /&gt;The spirit is behind your belly button—in the “heart” of you – it is there, where the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit, the Word, resides … it is there where the reproductive organs reside and the digestive system – where babies are carried by their mothers – it is the place of taking in and giving out, of reproducing the life of the Spirit in one’s life—the area of the “fruit of the spirit”. Thus Sha’ul talks about “bowels of mercy”, and the Psalms talk about your “liver” and “kidneys”. The spirit has its own mind. But, the soul’s mind is very unstable!  It is filled with negative emotions that control decisions. It is filled with fear that paralyzes the work of the spirit. The re-born spirit is home to the Spirit of Yahweh.  Unless the mind/soul is disciplined well, it controls one’s thinking, and thus one’s actions. Then one cannot hear the Spirit of Yahweh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 11&lt;br /&gt;The mind, emotions and will, must be harshly disciplined and brought under subjection to the power of the Spirit in your re-born spirit, if indeed you are truly re-born. (Refer to: “The True New Birth”).  Because of the shallow sissified “gospel” of western Christianity, most people think they are “saved”, but are not. There is no fruit of a re-born spirit.&lt;br /&gt;II Corinthians 5:17: “If any man be in Messiah, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new”.  Just recently, my daughter’s husband has been born again. She prayed for this for seven years.  When he told her, she was numb.  But, as she watched his new characteristics, she saw one fruit after the other manifest that was of the nature of Yahushua.  Now, after a few months, she says: “He is truly born again”.  He became a new creation.  His desires are completely changed. He was not a bad man. But, he had no desire for the Word, or prayer, or the things of the Spirit in general. He had no liking for Jews. After his new birth, now, he cannot stay out of the Word, he prays with his family, and likes to hear the Bible read by his wife, that uses Hebrew Names and titles of Elohim, and other Hebrew words.  Before he had no interest in helping the homeless, like his wife has.  But, after his new birth, he has great interest in sharing the Good News of salvation with his family and everyone else, and helping others in need.  &lt;br /&gt;But, most all in western culture have done no more than convert to a religion. There is no fruit of a re-born spirit. Their desires are still worldly, yet a religious spirit has come along to pretend spirituality. This is why so many are now converting to Judaism, or eastern mysticism, or even Islam, because it is impossible to know Yahweh and Yahushua who dwell in eternity, without a re-born spirit. The soul and spirit remain prisoners of Lucifer’s world.  &lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 4:12: “For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart (mind and emotions--“psyche”). And here is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must account”. &lt;br /&gt;At the new birth, by the powerful Word of Elohim—the “sword of the Spirit”—in the hands of the Spirit, the soul and spirit are severed from each other.  The spirit is re-born, and the soul has to be disciplined to align to the “mind of the spirit”.  Once aligned, and the soul is totally submitted to the will of the Spirit, then a person has authority and power against the “wiles of the Devil!”  &lt;br /&gt;The re-born spirit has the ability to contact, and live in, the realm of eternity with Elohim!&lt;br /&gt;“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”. (Psalm 91:1) This Psalm too often used by the fearful as a crucifix, or piece of garlic, to ward off the Devil, but few dwell or abide, or even approach, the ‘secret place”, for His Person and His Presence are foreign to most. &lt;br /&gt;Page 12&lt;br /&gt;This Psalm can only be rightfully used by those who have abandoned all but Him! &lt;br /&gt;Matthew 5:8: “The pure of heart will see Elohim”.  The word “pure” means to be single minded – single of purpose, singly focused.   &lt;br /&gt;This is why knowing His voice, as distinguished from all the multitudes of other voices in the earth, is of paramount importance!  If we hear the wrong voice, or the reasoning voice of our own mind, we will make serious mistakes, which may end up in tragedy. The gift of the discernment of spirits is a vital one for survival on the battlefield, (I Corinthians 12:1-12) as are the other gifts of the Spirit. &lt;br /&gt;A commanding officer on the battlefield is under orders from his “High Command”. On the field he gives instructions to his soldiers. He trusts the soldiers to do as he says, without any changes. To change the instructions could cause death to many. The officer receives orders oftentimes from High Command and relays the instructions to the soldiers.  If he needs to check in with higher officers, he may have a “walkie talkie” or some type of battery operated equipment. But, he stays in contact with his “High Command”, and the soldiers with their immediate commanding officer. &lt;br /&gt;But, in this battle, each one must be in contact with the Supreme Commander for himself. Thus all who are hearing from the Supreme Commander hear the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;In China today, believers cannot openly publish the place of their next meeting. So each are in tune with the Commanding Officer, the Spirit of Yahweh, and all are led by His Spirit to the right place without danger. The believers did this under the Stalin regime too.  But, now, it is dangerous for us to publish our whereabouts. At one point, a group of believers, living under Stalin, were told to flee out of Russia, and head for the China border.  They obeyed. They kept going until He said: “Stop”.  They stopped and stayed in some caves. The area’s vegetation provided food for them, and a stream provided water.  They awaited their next orders. The orders were slow in coming, by their reasoning. Some reverted to head reasoning, moved by fear, and decided to go back to their homes.  [Note--This is a principle you must learn: Abba never says to go forward, and then back-peddles and says to retreat—never, ever—Learn His nature, His ways and His thinking!!]  They that retreated back were killed. &lt;br /&gt;The remnant that waited the Spirit’s leading, got it … and they proceeded forward towards China. There came up a storm, and they pressed through the storm. When the storm lifted, they had no idea where they were. But, they found out quickly that they were in China. Abba was their rear-guard!  They went on to safety, to Australia. But, they did not fall apart when things didn’t go their way. They determined to listen to the Spirit, and not their head reasoning, and they overcame and were free.&lt;br /&gt;Flesh, carnality, soul-foolishness, going by feelings and head reasoning—all end &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 13&lt;br /&gt;up in destruction.  ”Without faith it is impossible to please Him”. Faith means taking action on what He has said—not on what circumstances look like.  Learn from Abraham: (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:17-22) “…he did not hesitate about the promise of Elohim through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving esteem to Elohim, and being completely persuaded that what He had promised He was also able to do. Therefore, it was reckoned to him for righteousness”.  &lt;br /&gt;I John 5:14-15: “And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever, according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him”.  But—we must ask according to His will—not ours!  &lt;br /&gt;Fear of man or demons is insanity for anyone who wants to be in the Kingdom of Yahweh!  FEAR YAHWEH!  &lt;br /&gt;As I wrote in “Fear Tactics” and “Linked Arm and Arm” – the end of fear is damnation. And fearful people take others to damnation with them.  &lt;br /&gt;I have learned correct spiritual warfare by hard experience. I was an ordained Charismatic minister with my own corporation. I understand the fleshly mentality of religion, the noble “zeal without knowledge”. Charismatic/church methodology in intercession and spiritual warfare has a lot of witchcraft attached to it!  If you do things the Scriptural way, you’ll get Scriptural results!  To do things the Scriptural way is to allow the Spirit discipline and teach you!  &lt;br /&gt;I learned how to move in the Spirit, by being taught by the Spirit – doing things the way Messiah and His Apostle did things. And, I’ve learned wisdom in getting Scriptural results.  Messiah knew the nature of demons. He knew their loopholes, and their boundaries.  Messiah and His Apostles simply commanded the evil spirits and they had to obey. If He backs us, and we command them, they have to obey. Our biggest concern should be to make sure He is backing us! &lt;br /&gt;I learned the hard way, by making too many mistakes. But, as I learned the right way, slowly but surely, in my obedience, I gained His authority backing, and have been able to deliver many from demonic oppression, and possession.  I have also been able to protect myself from many attacks that were designed to take my life, and to protect my children.  I’ve learned how the demonic world thinks, reasons, and acts.  I know their strategies and how they can so easily deceive the ignorant and fearful. &lt;br /&gt;Eve was deceived because she went strictly by her soul’s thinking. She “saw” that the tree was good, and she reasoning herself, and us, into destruction.  I know their legal boundaries. I also know well my Captain’s ways, His strategies, and His boundaries. I know His nature and His modus operandi. I know how He thinks, and so I am wise to stay within His well-laid boundaries, which He can back by His authority.  He only backs what is His will. He won’t back human intellectual reasoning that departs from His control.&lt;br /&gt;For a soldier on the battlefield to depart from the Captain’s orders to follow his &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 14&lt;br /&gt;own reasoning logic would most likely result in court martial. The good soldier fears crossing the orders of His commanding officer—for he knows the penalties for going off on his own in disobedience. We have a Commanding Officer who sees the future and gives commands based on what He has seen &lt;br /&gt;in the future!  Therefore, in pride in one’s abilities, to go off on one’s own in the reasoning of the intellect, is pure insanity for sure. The “headstrong” will die.  &lt;br /&gt;The mind reasons that since Yahweh doesn’t strike them dead in their rebellion, it is Ok to continue to rebel. What people do not understand is that He tries and tries to discipline, but if that doesn’t work, He leaves. Just like in Ezekiel 11—the religious did not see Him leave from off the Ark, they did not see Him proceed to the top of the Mt. of Olives--they did not see Him leave. They continued on with their religious rituals, never realizing that Elohim was gone!  &lt;br /&gt;Most of His people live so far distanced from what is required of them as servants and disciples that they do not know that He is not there.  &lt;br /&gt;This week I got two e-mails from people who were going by circumstances to determine “God’s” will.  One had not sold her house like she thought she would, so she figured it was not God’s will to leave America. Even though He’s screaming at His deaf and dumb children to get out—for His wrath and judgment are quickly coming.  His people are so far away from knowing His nature and ways, that they make up things to explain their lack of contact with Him. Yet, He has spoken to them but they did not obey, so He went and got someone else, and they wonder why He is so silent.  &lt;br /&gt;Many are sitting around waiting for Him to say something, and if He did, they’d probably think it was the Devil.  He’s already spoken! He’s not going to coddle anyone anymore. We either obey or suffer the penalties!  He must see us acting on what He has already said, or He will go no further with a person.  So, in spiritual warfare, we need to be disciplined soldiers that hear His voice!  &lt;br /&gt;The wise soldier fears disobeying their commanding officer. Fearing Yahweh is extremely wise!  For He only protects, guides, directs, and pays attention to those who fear Him, and who obey His commandments to do them. (Psalm 103:11-18, as one example)  There is no unconditional love in the Bible—putting unconditional love on Yahweh only exists in the minds of philosophical religious Greek counterfeiters.  The Hebrew understanding of “love” is to submit, lay down your life, and come under the control of the one loved.  &lt;br /&gt;This is why He says in Luke 14:26, 33:  “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and his own life too, he is unable to be My disciple” (taught one)”…“So, then, everyone of you who does not give up all that he has, is unable to be My taught one”.  To “hate” means not to come under the control of anyone but Him!&lt;br /&gt;The Private must never attempt to do what the Sergeant is trained to do. The Sergeant must never attempt to do what the Major is trained to do. The &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 15&lt;br /&gt;Major must never attempt to do what the General has been trained to do.  Each soldier must do what he is trained to do, and do it well, and then he is promoted to a higher rank!   The right to use authority has to be earned, and kept within the boundaries of the Commanding Officer.   &lt;br /&gt;I exhort you to quickly—today—immediately--close all doors to the enemy in your life--in your house, and in every arena in which you have natural authority in the earth. Discipline, diligence, responsibility, faithfulness, and tough determination – these are qualifications for acceptance in Yahweh’s army.  &lt;br /&gt;It is so important to know the mind of the enemy.  Demons, fallen angels without bodies, are legalists. They have the right to come through any door left open to them.  We leave doors open simply by cultural ignorance. To find open doors requires being led by the Spirit in discernment.  The TV, radio, certain music, video games, objects that are in the realm of Lucifer, clothes that have occult symbols on them—as well all objects with occult symbols. These are just a few open doors. But, gluttony, immorality, unclean thoughts, lying, sneaky ways, gossiping, slander, backbiting, laziness, undisciplined lifestyle—these too are open doors.  We must ask Him to show us our true self, and help us remove anything that is offensive to Him.  Not knowing the Word AS TAUGHT BY HIS SPIRIT, is a huge open door.  The enemy can lie and deceive the &lt;br /&gt;ignorant.  You must know the nature of Yahweh and His ways and thinking from the whole Word – taught by His Spirit, not by some popular teacher. Tell &lt;br /&gt;me how popular the Apostles and disciples were in the 1st century?  Running to teachers for your instruction is Greek sophist stuff.  Only what you learn from Abba Yahweh, which is confirmed by His Prophets, will hold you together in the times of extreme battle!&lt;br /&gt;In spiritual warfare, He gives us verses from the Word that He wants spoken into the earth. In my 7-part portal assignment from February 25th to May 25th (2010), He have me a list of Scriptures to be used at different places. Each place was different.  At the Great Pyramid, I was given totally different Scriptures to do with His judgment on the gods of Egypt and the judgment that is soon coming on Egypt, from Isaiah 19, as well as to call forth His remnant, which He will deliver. &lt;br /&gt;DO NOT pick out verses that you THINK sound good to your mind.  Make sure you are Spirit-led.  When I go on an assignment, He always gives me Scripture to proclaim – but He gives it to me. I don’t go looking for Scriptures!  I type &lt;br /&gt;them, and make copies of them, and keep them with me.&lt;br /&gt;The day after rabbinic Sha’vu’ot, I was in Jerusalem. I had one more day before going to Eilat, and then on to Egypt.  I didn’t want to waste a day. I have been in Israel, and Jerusalem, over 30 times, and I did not want to go anywhere I had not been before. So, I went to the Central Bus Station. I had not been to Ashkelon. I felt drawn by the Spirit to go there. I went to find the bus port for Ashkelon, and I saw that the bus was waiting for me—(smile).  I got on, and sat &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 16&lt;br /&gt;there thinking, “I’m on my way to Ashkelon and all I know is that somewhere there is an archeology park”.  But, I wanted to do intercession for His remnant over the Mediterranean Sea, so off I went. I could not find anyone at the bus station, or a taxi driver, who spoke English. But, one understood “sea” – so he took me to a beach. I did the intercession, but no one could tell me where the “ruins” were.  I finally got a nice taxi driver who took me to the very little “Tourist Bureau”.  No one spoke English, but the man took all kinds of brochures off the shelf to give to me. One brochure was for Ashkelon Park—the archeological ruins. Yeah!!  The taxi driver even took me to the first stop in the park – the ancient ruins of the oldest Canaanite arched gate ever found. I saw from a sign that they had found a calf-image of Ba’al there. In my belt pack was a copy of the Scriptures for declaration in the gates and portals of the enemy.  I sat down in the gate. I pulled out the Scriptures He gave me. I began speaking them to the ancient spirits in those stones, giving them the message of their judgment to come.  I felt them come out of the stones, stand in front of me, listening. I’ve had that happen many times, so I continued on with the Declarations.   Later that afternoon I got back to Jerusalem.  Then it hit me – Abba had given me a 7-part assignment to stand in the enemy’s portals and proclaim what He gave me to proclaim.  I knew that there was a portal in Israel, but He had not defined it. The Canaanite Gate, portal, was the sixth portal in the assignment. Later, I found that one of the brochures I got at the Tourist Bureau in Ashkelon was about a find in Ashkelon that was related to the Pergamum Altar of Zeus, from Pergamum, Turkey, in the Pergamum Museum in Berlin--point five of my 7-part assignment, which included the Ishtar Gate of Babylon that was also there. In these two assignments I was alone--the other five places I had a friend to go with me.  There are hundreds of strategic and ancient portals of the enemy on this earth, each positioned under a constellation worshipped by humans who follow Lucifer.  There are some major portals of the enemy, like Tihuanaco, Stonehenge, and Ba’albeck.  The Great Pyramid is Abba’s portal/monument to Messiah and His Bride. I was only allowed to speak to the gods of Egypt there, but before that, to the stones at the Georgia Guide Stones, in strategic demonic strongholds in Washington DC, at the ancient ruins of Tihuanaco in Bolivia (oldest known city on earth), and Stonehenge in England.  I realize that He is sending other servants whom He trusts and backs, to places like Ba’albeck in Lebanon, the megaliths of Easter Island, the temple of Karnak and Luxor, temples all over the earth, the megalithic cities of Peru, etcetera, where high principalities and powers have ruled for thousands of years, most built before the Flood, in “the dark time” between Genesis 1 and 2, as the Incas tell of Tihuanaco.  &lt;br /&gt;When He first began giving me this assignment, every book I picked up at His instructions listed the three main places I was to go, in order, sometimes on the same page—about seven books in all.  He always confirms His orders!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 17&lt;br /&gt;But, as I write about in “On Assignment” and “Forward March”, He has been sending me on assignments for many, many years, so the wisdom and knowledge I pass on to you is from HIM.  &lt;br /&gt;Depending on the power of the principality we’re up against, we either can go it alone, or we must have backup. But, the backup had better be of His selection. &lt;br /&gt;I will not let anyone do intercession or spiritual warfare with me unless I know for sure that they are pure of heart, under His control totally, and flexible to be led by the Spirit.   &lt;br /&gt;Spiritual warfare that is for His purposes, like intercession, must be done on site. Of course, spiritual warfare and intercession for you, your family, or those who ask, can be done at home or in your local area. But, when on assignment for the Master, be ready to go at any time—be flexible.  Use your money and your time for the Kingdom – be frugal in spending otherwise!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acts 19:11-16—the demons did not know the sons of Sceva, so they the right to jump on them and tear them up. Too many think they can do spiritual warfare based on verses like Luke 10:19, and then they get beaten up by the enemy and their homes ruined. &lt;br /&gt;Luke 10:19: “See, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing at all shall hurt you”.  &lt;br /&gt;Yahushua spoke this to seventy men He knew and trusted.  Unless He gives this verse to you—He won’t back you. And, He must tell you what enemy to go &lt;br /&gt;after, as well as when, and where, and how to do it. You might go after the wrong enemy, and end up destroyed. You must always let the Spirit lead! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve taken several groups of Americans, and individuals too, to places around Jerusalem, like the City of David. I don’t walk all that slow, but every time, one person will strut ahead of me, and the whole group will follow that person. I’ve had one individual do this. The strutting person has no clue as to where they’re going. They just strut sometimes two blocks ahead of me. Sometimes they turn a corner and end up on a street going nowhere. Then, later, they want me to repeat what they missed by marching on their own--like the Ophel, the Eastern Gate, the Kidron Valley--for they’re following someone who doesn’t know where they’re going. Then they stop, look back, and realize that I’m way back somewhere. Finally they see me and come back to me. Do they apologize?  NO…  They do it again: “The blind leading the blind”--the ignorant leading the ignorant. They miss out on the instruction, but they don’t care—they’re off on their own. Then later they tell me they wish they had heard what I was saying. This is the attitude of the know-it-all prideful mind. But, this is a typical way most westerners live their lives. They follow the strutting humans and reject the teaching of the Spirit, and the wisdom of those taught by the Spirit. They reason in their heads, and never stop to see how far away from truth they are!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 18&lt;br /&gt;Religion is a big open door for the enemy to come through, for religion is all Lucifer-based, but also deceived man-based.  If you love this world, love idols (materialism), depend on man (humanism), fear losing things, like house, car, sentimental material possessions (photos and objects from the past), job security, money, insurance, retirement funds, doctors, medicine, family, friends, personal security, comfort, ease, convenience—and on and on—you have left multitudes of doors open. And the enemy hits you at your weakest link.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 10:34-39: “Do not think I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  I have come to make division…He who love father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he does not take up his stake and follow Me is not worthy of me…”&lt;br /&gt;Mark 8:34-37: “…Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Good News, he shall save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his life?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?”  &lt;br /&gt;Following Him require death to self will, the selfish life, selfish agendas, ambitions, goals, and desires … it is a life of total abandonment to the Master!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL, BUT MIGHTY TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS”… &lt;br /&gt; WHAT ARE THEY?  Here are a few: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)   The Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), which is the Word of Elohim.   the sword is part of the High Priest’s clothing, hanging from the belt of truth.&lt;br /&gt;2.  The Names of Yahweh and Yahushua &lt;br /&gt;3.  The High Praises of Elohim in our mouth… (Psalm 149:6) Bold praise is a mighty weapon, sung or spoken&lt;br /&gt;4.   Declaration of Truth – Truth is our shield and buckler (Psalm 91:4) –using authority in the declarative—bold proclamation with His Spirit’s anointing     &lt;br /&gt;5.   The gifts of the Spirit--like discernment of spirits (I Corinthians 12:1-12)&lt;br /&gt;6.   The tongues of angels is a powerful weapon against the enemy&lt;br /&gt;7.   The authority to bind and lose – to bind the strongman and to loose his affiliates to go to the “dry places” of judgment and to not return&lt;br /&gt;8.   The authority to use the keys OF the Kingdom of heaven to unlock the prison&lt;br /&gt;doors for His people to go free&lt;br /&gt;9.    Hearing His voice of instruction, giving enemy positions, giving warnings&lt;br /&gt;10.  “Special faith” that by-passes the mind totally for powerful miracles&lt;br /&gt;11.  A bold anointing that runs at the enemy—empowerment by the Spirit&lt;br /&gt; 12. The anointing of His Presence—the enemy fears this very much&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 19&lt;br /&gt;13.  Faith that is unstoppable, unmovable, stubborn—faith that overcomes&lt;br /&gt;14.  Knowledge of the enemy’s tactics, strategies, thinking, goals, and ways&lt;br /&gt;15.  Knowledge of the Captains tactics, strategies, thinking, goals and ways&lt;br /&gt;16.  A reputation that terrifies the enemy and paralyzes him&lt;br /&gt;17)  Bold proclamation of the greatness of Yahweh, and of Yahushua coming in Yahuweh’s judgment and wrath to take back the world and set up His Kingdom!  Revelation 11:15 is one of the most powerful declarations on earth!  &lt;br /&gt;18.  Revelation 12:11: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their testimony, and because they loved not their lives unto death”.&lt;br /&gt;Three more weapons of warfare:  1) The blood of the Lamb, 2) the word of our own personal testimony of His working in our life, 3) we have no fear of death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: Do NOT practice hocus pocus using the blood of Yahushua!&lt;br /&gt;His blood is not an amulet against Dracula.  His blood paid the price for our &lt;br /&gt;redemption, to restore us to the Covenant of Yahweh. His blood must never be used in mystic occultism. The “pleading the blood” formula, used by Charismatic people to ward off the Devil is no more than a form of witchcraft.  The sprinkling &lt;br /&gt;of grape juice or wine, and bread-wafers, on the gates of the enemy as symbols of His blood, is also witchcraft.  It is by His blood that we are restored to the Father. The righteous ones overcome by His blood, because His blood justified us before Abba! His blood paid the punishment we deserve for our sins!  &lt;br /&gt;We are born of the Spirit after placing their faith in the death and resurrection of Messiah.  He is the slain Lamb from the foundation of the world. He is a Person. Therefore, we must be very careful not to use His means of salvation like a piece of garlic or a crucifix against a boogie man. This is blasphemous!&lt;br /&gt;The “word of our testimony”--as to how He saved us from sin and damnation, and freed us from the kingdom of darkness--is a powerful weapon of warfare.  The enemy is called “the accuser of the brethren”.  He cannot accuse us if we have been freed from sin by the blood of the Lamb.  We, instead, can tell him of his future in the lake of fire.&lt;br /&gt;David ran at Goliath!  He had the bold proclamation of the greatness of Abba in his mouth.  He didn’t run from Goliath!  Nor did he wait for Goliath to come to him. He knew well how to use his slingshot.  Know well how to handle the weapons of our warfare that are not carnal!   Many today know how to handle a gun, but they have no clue as how to handle the powerful weapons of the Spirit, and so will try to fight against a physical and a spiritual enemy that are both way too powerful for them, and because of prideful, childish stupidity, will perish.  &lt;br /&gt;David was strong in the natural and in the Spirit. He knew His Elohim. He knew Yahweh.  Thus, this young kid went boldly forth to defeat an enemy that terrorized the army of Saul.  But, as a shepherd, he had fought off bears and lions to protect the sheep. He was no novice!  No novice should face the Goliaths to come—and there will be an army of them—giants with supernatural abilities.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 20&lt;br /&gt;This final battle is not just against “spirits” alone – but against powerful spirits in human bodies, as well as disembodied.  I’ve been confronted by some powerful disembodied spirits. But, they can take form, and they do speak, and they do have power over those who do not know Yahweh.  Again, the sons of Sceva…&lt;br /&gt;Demons can take flesh, and so, once again, you will face the Anakim – (Numbers 13 and 14)  It is His Spirit who gives us the strength and the wisdom to defeat the enemy! He has the strategies and tactics to win!  &lt;br /&gt;His ways are not human ways. &lt;br /&gt;II Chronicles 20: A overwhelming army was defeated by His people singing high praises to Yahweh.  In Judges 7, the Gideon 300 won over insurmountable odds by crashing pitchers and holding up torches. Yahweh’s ways may seem strange, but they work. If you use head reasoning, you might think His ways are silly, and go off on your own logic and be defeated. &lt;br /&gt;A good solider has to go to “boot camp” where he learns to follow orders!  You &lt;br /&gt;must submit yourself to letting the Spirit discipline you, train you, and prepare you to be a good servant/soldier and follow orders exactly. &lt;br /&gt;As I wrote in “Scriptural Spiritual Warfare -- Part I”, you’ll never know how you’ll &lt;br /&gt;react to the alligator in your path until you get out and encounter one.  You will never learn spiritual warfare or get to know Him, unless you get out of your comfort zone.  There is a big world out there that needs to hear about the &lt;br /&gt;Savior, about His Father’s Torah, about the life of victory in obeying Yahweh. Get out and tell people!  &lt;br /&gt;Acts 1:8: “You shall receive power when the Set-Apart Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be My witnesses…”  &lt;br /&gt;You must have the Set-Apart Spirit come upon you, fill you, empower you—or else you won’t be an effective witness for Him! As you step out of your comfort zone and do something for His Kingdom, you’ll learn about yourself.  You might be bold at your congregation meeting, but cower like a scared animal when anything threatening happens. How will you see your real self if you don’t get out of your security fence?  I have been on six continents, into 45 countries, some many times, been in death-defying situations, and see Him work miracles. I lived in Jordan for 8 years. I travel by myself a lot. I’ve been totally dependent on Him for all my needs. I have no home of my own. I have no regular income. I have no houses or lands, not even a car. I do wish I had a car, but then where would I leave it?  I’m never in one place very long.  Anyway, I have to depend on Him for my protection, and my health—for everything! Thus I know Him very well. Thus I trust Him with all my heart.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***To be really honest, going up against principalities and powers, rulers of wickedness in high places, demons of all sorts, and even Lucifer himself, and overcoming, is NOT the hard part – that becomes easy with experience.  The hard part is to shut down the control of the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 21&lt;br /&gt;mind and emotions, and humbly submit to the control of Yahweh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The end of your faith is the salvation of the soul”.  “The mind is the battlefield”.  “The mind is a person’s worst enemy”.  Learning to trust and not try to control is the major battle. If we don’t get this battle won, forget going against principalities and powers of the enemy. &lt;br /&gt;What people do not realize is that no one really controls their own life.  Either a person is controlled by Yahweh’s Spirit, or they are controlled by the flesh, which is controlled by the enemy, or they are controlled by the enemy. We are not gods. We are slaves of whatever master we submit to!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beware!  Learning spiritual warfare principles is NOT like buying a pistol to hide in your nightstand just in case a burglar breaks in.  &lt;br /&gt;Having knowledge that is not tested, will fail in the face of reality. The demonic world, like a vicious dog will attack if it smells fear. Fear draws demonic spirits &lt;br /&gt;like a magnet--and fear gives them ever right to attack.  Fear opens the doors wide to attack!  &lt;br /&gt;Yahweh CANNOT HELP US and WILL HELP US if we are traumatized with fear, or whining, complaining, cowering, anxious, stressed out, fretting, and verbalizing negative thoughts. HE CAN ONLY OPERATE IN &lt;br /&gt;A FRAMEWORK OF FAITH! Therefore, He waits until we calm down and our faith is restored, before He does anything!!  &lt;br /&gt;He is not going to coddle someone who is so into their “self” that they can’t break loose of the soul’s emotional control.  We must learn to only live out of our spirit—the re-born spirit that contacts the eternal realm. &lt;br /&gt;Without learning from the Spirit how to use the “weapons of our warfare” that are not fleshly (carnal), one might be like a man who had a loaded pistol in his  night stand. He wakes up at 2:00 AM and hears a sound downstairs. He sees his wife still in bed asleep, so he quietly grabs the pistol and creeps down the steps. &lt;br /&gt;He hears clattering coming from the area of the dining room.  He is scared to death.  It is a burglar, his mind says. The burglar is going to kill he and his wife, his mind says. So, upon seeing movement in the darkness, he fires the gun wildly into the dark, and hears a scream.  He runs down the stairs to find that he shot his oldest son, who got hungry and went downstairs to make a sandwich.  His son is dead.  His fear and his reasoning intellect killed him, not the bullet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must allow the Spirit to show us true self (Psalm 139:23-24). But, all too often, man’s pride keeps him from humbling himself to learn the truth.  Because TRUTH DEMANDS CHANGE!  And, statistically 95% of people do not want to change. People compare themselves to other people. Yahweh compares us to Himself.  In the judgment you’ll be compared to Him—to His &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 22&lt;br /&gt;plumb line, to His standards --not your spouse, or pastor, or rabbi, or your inflated opinion of yourself.  &lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 66:1-2: It is to the contrite and those that tremble at His Word that He looks at, and respects… &lt;br /&gt;If we tremble at His Word, we study it from cover to cover with Him as our teacher.  When we come to a command that applies to us, we obey. &lt;br /&gt;Having a personal, intimate, daily relationship with Yahweh is fundamental. In your time with Him alone, He will give you the enemy’s tactics, strategy and game plan. You must not go into battle without this information.  He waited six days, while Moses sat in His Presence, before He spoke to Moses on the 7th day.  On Shabbat, He speaks more to us than on any other day to give us our orders, assignments, warnings--and instructions for the week.  &lt;br /&gt;He usually wakes me up 2 hours or more early on Shabbat than on any other day.  He speaks more to us between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM on any given day.  Wasting time is one of the greatest sins of all.  We have so little time left. Why not get out and use your mouth to spread the Good News of Messiah, teach people the Word, change lives—do something worthwhile. Judgment is near.  Idleness was one of the sins of Sodom, along with “fullness of bread”, that caused His judgment. (Ezekiel 16:49-50) Why do adults need to be entertained like babies? -- Useless waste of time. When we stand before the Judge, we will have to give account of how we used our time on earth.   &lt;br /&gt;In 2006, the United Nations troops in Southern Lebanon, tapped into the IDF computers, and gave the IDF positions to Hezbollah over and over. This is &lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah was always ready for the IDF.  The UN is a traitor to Israel.  If you know well the Spirit, and are used to hearing from Him, He will give you the &lt;br /&gt;enemy’s positions so that you can win every time!  If you are dull of hearing from laziness, you won’t hear the positions, and so be taken over. &lt;br /&gt;If you are not obeying the Word given to you daily, He won’t waste His time giving you instructions on the enemy’s position.  We are servants. The servant hears many times a day what the Master is saying, and obeys. &lt;br /&gt;In these last 4 months of intense obedience, going to key portals of the enemy for Abba’s purposes, I had to be in tune with Him every second. And I’ve never heard Him talk so much to give me details of what I was to do, but also of what &lt;br /&gt;was ahead and how to prepare for it. He walked me through all the logistics necessary for 16 flights, in 7 countries, to 7 portals (gateways) of the enemy, to the right hotels, trains, planes, vans, cars, places to stay, and with whom.  There were 14 or more trips of between 3 ½ and 5 ½ hours long.  If there was a problem, He would let me know. If I was asking for something that was not to be, He was silent, but always gave me peace. He kept cutting against any rising anxiety with overpowering peace.  His sense of humor is awesome, but so are His incredible warnings.  I heed them immediately, and so have saved myself a lot of trouble.  He was with me constantly to strength me.  I was on the go so &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 23&lt;br /&gt;much, with early flights, and stressful situations. At times, I thought I couldn’t keep going at that pace. I was so exhausted a lot of the time. But, not only did He bring me through, but He brought me through with strength, joy, peace, and excitement.  My friends were amazed…&lt;br /&gt;I’ve faced some powerful demonic forces, forces others have seen also, some out to kill me, and quite verbal about it.  But, praise of Yahweh set them flying. Sometimes, we don’t have to command them to “GO” – because if they know us, they will go as we lift our arms in praise of Abba Yahweh!  We don’t have to be worn out in battle, not if we follow Abba’s leading.   &lt;br /&gt;The fallen angels—demons--that did not take a body, use fully human agents to do their dirty work. The Nephilim are the fallen angels who had intercourse with human women, or mixed DNA, in order to extend themselves into the earth as a new breed of being, in order to produce giants (Rephaim) and powerful “gods”—&lt;br /&gt;“men of renown”--that became the gods of Egypt, Greece and Rome.  (Genesis &lt;br /&gt;6:2,4; Numbers 13:32-33) (Refer to: “Facing the Anakim”) We will face the Anakim once again, but those with the spirit of Caleb and Joshua will overcome!&lt;br /&gt;Don’t yell at the enemy in your soul-driven emotions!  Messiah didn’t yell at them—He commanded them. Don’t use silly hocus pocus formulas. You’ll get attacked. But, His Name coupled with His Word, as given to us to proclaim, is of the utmost power!  &lt;br /&gt;Once I was on top of the mountain in Jordan, where Eliyahu grew up—at Tishbe.  &lt;br /&gt;I had been bringing, at His request, His Name into places where it had never been spoken by man, or not spoken in centuries.  Here on this mountain His Name had most likely not been spoken since the time of Eliyahu.  I walked to the edge of a cliff, facing towards Jerusalem. There were a few clouds in the sky, but it was not a rainy day.  I called out His Name loudly. As His Name left my lips, immediately a crash of thunder sounded, and rolled across the sky in the direction of Jerusalem.  My two friends with me just froze…it was so awesome! Then I called out a second time, and a third time—each time, as His Name left my lips, immediately a crash of thunder sounded and rolled across the sky in the direction of Jerusalem.   &lt;br /&gt;He said to me not too long ago: “It is time for the watchmen to come off of the walls, for the enemy is at the gate”. &lt;br /&gt;The enemy is at the gate of your life, too.  If the gate is open, he’ll come in. Once in, you have a 50/50 chance of getting rid of him. Go on the offensive—shut the doors to the enemy. Don’t let him in.  &lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 28:5-6: “In that day, Yahweh of hosts is for a crown of splendor and a headdress of comeliness to the remnant of His people, and a spirit of right-ruling to him who sits in right-ruling, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate”.  The word “strength” is “geburaw” (phonetic)—meaning valor, might, power, and victory.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is spiritual warfare:  Facing the forces of Satan to deliver Yah’s people from their clutches--setting people free (deliverance)--and also opening portals for Abba’s entrance.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 1:4: “Accordingly, He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of &lt;br /&gt;the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him in love”.  &lt;br /&gt;Philippians 2:15-16a: “Do everything without grumbling and complaining that you might be blameless and faultless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding on to the Word of life…”&lt;br /&gt;II Peter 3:14: “So then, beloved ones, looking forward to this (His coming) do your utmost to be found in Him in peace, spotless and blameless”.  &lt;br /&gt;If we are blameless before Him, our authority is great, and the enemy fears us.&lt;br /&gt;One day I was out walking in Gilo (a Jewish suburb of Jerusalem) with friends, among whom was an IDF soldier. We were walking in the outskirts of Gilo, across from Beit Jalla (a Palestinian area). There had been a lot of sniper fire by Palestinians in Beit Jalla aimed at Gilo.  The IDF soldier told us: “Do not stand &lt;br /&gt;still for more than three seconds. In three seconds a sniper can put you in his sites and pull the trigger”.   &lt;br /&gt;A good soldier doesn’t stand by idly while the enemy has a chance to fire.  In Yahuweh’s army, a warrior gives no chance to the enemy.  The more we are in battle and overcome, the tougher we get.  The more confidence we gain in &lt;br /&gt;interaction with the Commanding Officer – the more bold we are in obeying His directives without confusion, balking, whining, questioning, or making excuses.&lt;br /&gt;The attitude must be that of those in Revelation 12:11: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and because they loved not their lives even to death”.  &lt;br /&gt;Worldwide witchcraft is on the increase—a network of witches and warlocks that are dedicated to getting rid of the set-apart ones, whom they fear.  The more authority one has in Yahweh, the more one draws the attacks of witches.  I have suffered from attacks from witches and warlocks, and voodoo practitioners, than anything else.  They know how to kill by their god’s methodology. I’ve thwarted death many times, because I know how to deliver myself. I know how to command spirits off myself, going for the strongman—the hierarch spirit over the smaller ones—and cast them off.  I had two powerful witches try to kill me in France.  I felt like heavy bricks were pressing on my chest and I couldn’t breathe. I began calling off spirits of death and other things, but when I called off “witchcraft”, I felt the brick-like pressure lift immediately. I was very sick from it, but I didn’t die, so they proceeded to slander me to the point where people cancelled meetings, and feared me—I lost friends, who believed these pretending-to-be Messianic people were good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Abba spoke to me: “Christianity is the mask of Satan”… that’s in II Corinthians 11:13-15: “For such are false ministers, deceptive workers, masquerading as ministers of Messiah. And no wonder!  For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!  It is not surprising then if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness…”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone who is born of the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit, can do spiritual warfare, but within the boundaries for which they have authority backing from Abba. All can do spiritual warfare over themselves, their family, and those that ask.  Begin small, but begin…&lt;br /&gt;Shalom,&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-1999879023966815608?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/1999879023966815608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/01/scriptural-spiritual-warfare-part-ii.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1999879023966815608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1999879023966815608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2011/01/scriptural-spiritual-warfare-part-ii.html' title='SCRIPTURAL SPIRITUAL WARFARE     Part II'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-3559857028416340201</id><published>2010-12-17T18:56:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-12-17T18:56:52.527-06:00</updated><title type='text'>SPIRITUAL WAREFARE   1</title><content type='html'>Here is the first of 3 posts I will be sharing&lt;br /&gt;These are written to a friend of mine from Yedidah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SCRIPTURAL SPIRITUAL WARFARE&lt;br /&gt;Part I – Foundation Principles&lt;br /&gt;Qualifications and Requirements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to learn correct spiritual warfare that brings results? Here is the first of a three-part series that has been long overdue. It will give you the wisdom necessary to have Yahuweh’s backing as you come against an ever-expanding  enemy.  I have written foundational materials on Scriptural intercession in “Correct Intercession and Spiritual Warfare in the Garments of the High Priest” and “Intercession: Knowing the Basics”, but not until now isolated the rock bottom principles needed to do correct spiritual warfare. The final battle of the ages has now commenced – Yahuweh’s forces against the spirits of darkness—the ruling principalities and powers--rulers in high places over regions, nations, cities, religions and organizations, as well as the imps that are sent to torment and disrupt our lives. In this series I give you no theology. I give you no opinion. I give you only straight reality from a lifetime of learning how to get it right--from in-the-battle training by my mentor—the Spirit of Yahuweh.  I want to help you to NOT be a “son of Sceva”. (Acts 19:13-16)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 6:10-12: “…Be strong in the Master and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of Elohim so that you have power to withstand in the wicked day, and having done all to stand, stand then…” &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I won’t go into the specifics of the “armor of Elohim” here, because you can read about it in the article mentioned above that shows each piece of armor’s relationship to the garments of the High Priest – the garb of the coming High Priest and King.&lt;br /&gt;The heavenly battle has begun. The great end-time apostasy is rampant in the camps of used to be “believers”.  Very soon the great battle in now raging in heaven will end with Michael throwing out Lucifer/Satan onto the earth—“that old Dragon”—who will go after the “woman” to destroy her “seed”—the remnant of Ya’cob--in “the last generation”. The fallen angels have been released from the pit to once again take bodies, (Revelation 9) and their leader, Apollyon, has arisen to ascend to world power. I have written about this recently, so will go on. For over 100 years now, there have been more martyrs for their faith in the Savior, especially in China/Asia, Middle East, Africa, Mexico and South America, than in all the history of the assemblies of Yahushua from the first century on. Few know about this because the persecution in about forty countries of the earth has been kept hidden from the western world. But, it is coming soon to the western world, and probably 1% of 1% has prepared by obedience and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 1&lt;br /&gt;discipline, and are ready for it--if that many. This is why the strong, disciplined, trained and readied 144,000 have already been sealed, and are in place to &lt;br /&gt;overcome in the onslaught--much like the “Gideon’s 300” (Judges 7) or Jehoshephat’s army of singers (II Chronicles 20).  &lt;br /&gt;It is interesting that Judges is the 7th book, and Gideon’s story of victory starts in the 7th chapter, and the key verse is verse 7. I have visited Ma’ayan Harod springs, near Afula. I saw where they had the water-slurping contest, right above the Jezre’el Valley below where the Midianites arrayed for battle.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judges 7:7: “And Yahuweh said to Gideon: `By these three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and shall give Midian into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his place’ ”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(See the article “Gideon’s 300” to learn the process of His choosing)  Gideon started out with 32,000 all gung-ho for battle—zealous and revved up for action.  &lt;br /&gt;Judges 7:3: “…`whosoever is afraid and trembling, let him turn back and leave Mount Gil’ad’. And twenty-two thousand of the people turned back, while ten thousand remained”.  &lt;br /&gt;Spiritual warfare is much like physical warfare. No fearful or whiners allowed! This is real business, and the enemies we face today in the spirit realm are far more dangerous than the Midianites. The true warrior knows his enemy well!&lt;br /&gt;It was said of Ariel Sharon in his book Warrior, that he knew every flower and tuft of grass in the Negev Desert – he knew his territory, and he knew the enemy well. This is why he was such a successful General.  The true warrior is focused on what his commanding officer is telling him to do.  He is sold-out, loyal, and unflinching in his obedience to his commanding officer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II Timothy 2:3-4: “No one serving as a soldier gets involved in the affairs of this life, in order to please only him who enlisted him as a soldier”. &lt;br /&gt;I Peter 4:1-2: “Therefore, since Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but according to the desire of Elohim”.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adjust your priorities!  The “Gideon 300” were chosen by how they lapped the water at the Ma’ayan Harod spring.  Out of the 10,000 remaining, 9, 970 were sent home also--they drank water by kneeling down and sticking their heads in the water to drink.  THEY TOOK THEIR EYES OFF THE ENEMY! &lt;br /&gt;It is senseless to stay on the Internet to learn what the enemy’s doing, when  Abba’s Spirit is well able to show us the enemy that we have to deal with, and give us wisdom regarding his position.  He will help us choose our battles—they are not all ours!  &lt;br /&gt;Page 2&lt;br /&gt;But, we must not stick our head in the sand either—the enemy is very real, and we must learn his capabilities, his maneuvers, his nature and thinking--to keep from being deceived. &lt;br /&gt;The three hundred bent over and dipped one hand into the water, and then brought their hand to their mouths and lapped the water like a dog laps with its tongue—they never took their eyes off the enemy in the valley below!  &lt;br /&gt;When I walk around a lake in Florida, even in housing developments, I know that oftentimes alligators are in the lake. If I turn a bend in the path and see an alligator lying across my way, I will probably have a surge of fear.  Humans have a defense system built in that warns us of potential danger. That’s normal. But, &lt;br /&gt;my immediate reaction to seeing the alligator would be to boldly command the alligator to turn back into the swamp in the Name of Yahuweh.  I’ve had animals do this.  But, I’ve also had demon-possessed humans come at me to kill me, and the rebuke in Abba’s name has caused them to stop. One such man, in a remote  &lt;br /&gt;area of Tanzania dropped to the ground at my feet (close call). He came up totally delivered—set free and rejoicing.  I’ve had then growl at me, too – and even try to kill me – but I never have had any fear--I know who backs me!  After I was filled with the Spirit in November of 1966, I began preach on the streets of “skid row” in Los Angeles at all hours of the night—sometimes He would anoint me with such boldness that gangs were fearful of me, and would surround me wanting to know the source of my power. Of course, I preached salvation to them.  This power is only for those who use it for HIS ESTEEM AND HONOR! &lt;br /&gt;Luke 24:49: “And, behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high”.  One must never even attempt to go against the powers of the Satanic world without this “power from on high”! &lt;br /&gt;I was in the high desert of New Mexico on the Navajo reservation. I was walking and praying. I picked up a small piece of driftwood that looked just like a snake.  Abba spoke harshly: “Put it down!” I balked since I thought it was harmless.  He spoke even more harshly “PUT IT DOWN”! I threw it down. I know His voice and His personality.  About ten minutes later, while bending over to pick up another piece of driftwood, I heard a sound I’d heard on a National Geographic program. I froze in place. Finally it hit my brain what that sound was. I slowly lifted my head, but not my body. I was looking right at a rattlesnake ready to strike. My reaction was boldness—I called out Messiah’s Name, and commanded the snake to uncoil.  It obeyed me. I slowly raised my body, and preached it a sermon while it tilted its head to the side and listened.  If I had disobeyed Abba and kept the snake-shaped driftwood, I know the snake would have struck me--He would not have backed my authority against it.  The tests come. If we fail to obey, then He cannot stand with us to protect us, or help us!  Learn this lesson well and fast!  If we do not obey in the small things, He won’t stand with us in the big things!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 3&lt;br /&gt;In Mark 5 we have the story of Messiah on his way to heal Jairus’ daughter. He is distracted by another need. By the time He got ready to go with Jairus, a servant came to tell Jairus (ruler of the local synagogue) that his daughter had died.  Mark 5:36 is one of my favorite verses: “As soon as Yahushua heard the word spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue `be not afraid, only believe’ ”.  You can read the rest of the story. But, once Elohim personally gives you the promise, it will be fulfilled exactly as He says – and no obstacle can prevail.  But, to receive it requires what I call “bull-dog faith”--NO FEAR--just stubborn, bold faith--but faith based on what He has said, not on what we want, not on what we think, and not on presumption or hope.  &lt;br /&gt;I remember a story Joyce Still told.  Her dear friend had a daughter dying of leukemia.  Abba had told her friend that He would heal her daughter. Her friend asked Joyce to agree with her in prayer for the healing.  Joyce said she would stand in prayer for her daughter’s healing.  A few months went by, and her friend called her. She said, “Joyce, do you still believe that my daughter will be healed?”  Joyce said, “Yes, of course”. The friend said: “My daughter just died. Come to the hospital”.  Joyce went. The girl had been dead about an hour--just like Jairus’ daughter. They stood over her body in faith, expecting the promise of Elohim—for her life to be restored and for her to be free of leukemia. Within a few minutes, the girl sat up, healed and totally restored.  Isn’t this what happened in the house of Jairus?  Why not now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 17:20: “If you faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain `be removed into another place’ and it will be removed, and nothing will be impossible to you”. &lt;br /&gt;Tragically, like Mark 11:22-24, these verses have become part of the rhetoric of the “name it and claim it”, “blab it and grab it” movement, which seeks to manipulate “God” into doing whatever one wants. (Please study on real faith through my manual “Faith Walk” and “Daily Flowing in His Perfect Timing”.) &lt;br /&gt;The Word must never be used to get what we want!  &lt;br /&gt;In proclamation to the enemy, a bold servant backed by Yahuweh needs only to speak to the enemy once, with boldness. Messiah taught His disciples to use the authority He gave them, thus the joyful report of the 70 disciples in Luke 10.  But, you must not take what He said to 70 trusted friends and use it to claim what you selfishly want for yourself or someone else. The ability to speak and have it come to pass is only available to those who are backed by Elohim’s authority. He only backs those He absolutely trusts.   And He only gives authority and trusts those He knows well!  &lt;br /&gt;This is how Eliyahu could say to Ahab: “As Elohim lives, before whom I stand, it shall not rain these days at my word” (I Kings 17:1) Abba backed him totally because He trusted Eliyahu to only use His words under His authority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 4&lt;br /&gt;Neither faith or spiritual warfare must be used for personal gain! It is dangerous to use the principles of Yahuweh to advance ones’ self, or get for one’s self what is selfishly desired!  We must never demand that Yahuweh do what we say--He is not our servant. Sometimes, in praying for our family, we have false mercy, false tolerance, false responsibility—we don’t see the family member as He sees them. And, Abba wants you to stop trying to control what happens to that  family member so that He can do what He knows to do for them, or to them.  &lt;br /&gt;Sadly most people face illusionary dangers and get fearful-terrified of “what might be”—crumbling, just like the wicked who flee when no one pursues. The Spirit is given to us to tell us what is illusionary and rumor, and what is real. Then there is the real, hidden in deception and illusion. We face that a lot now—“false flags.” (Refer to the article by that name) &lt;br /&gt;It takes practice to learn His ways, and to adjust to His nature and His thinking.  The more one knows Him personally, the easier it is to hear and obey without hesitation. I have had personal interaction with Yahuweh since age four, but in the last four months I have taken a quantum leap in developing a firm trust in what He says like never before.  He has directed my every step, telling me things ahead, and leading me like never before. My boldness has grown greatly. I know Him better now than ever in my life!  I know His voice.  If He says something, I know it is embedded in flint rock, unmovable--no matter what I see in the natural that may say otherwise. Faith must back everything we do and say!&lt;br /&gt;This verse has become a strong refuge for me: Psalm 32:8 in the Hebrew Tehillim, Abba says: “…I will guide you by what I have I have seen.”  &lt;br /&gt;He never says to “Go forward”, then says “retreat”!  Retreat is not in His personality!  He leads forward, even through danger, because He sees from an eternal view. Don’t put a pagan god’s personality on Him—He is not wishy-washy.&lt;br /&gt;“Elohim is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent—has He not said and will He not do it!  Has He not spoken and will He not bring it to pass?” (Numbers 23:19) &lt;br /&gt;Numbers 11:23: “Is the arm of Yahuweh too short? Now see whether My word will come to pass for you, or not”.&lt;br /&gt;These three verses were my mainstays these last four months, as I followed His directions exactly, and saw Him do as He said!  &lt;br /&gt;Yahuweh has a “plumb-line” personality!  Once His Word goes into the earth, either written or spoken, it never returns to Him. Nor does He back-peddle. Neither does He lead us into a trap. If you won’t obey, He’ll get somebody else. He won’t be thwarted by someone’s disobedience!   &lt;br /&gt;We must be personally taught. A “disciple” is a “taught one”. A good servant is promoted according to his faithfulness, and often becomes a trusted friend of the Master. Abba has backed me by His authority for a long time. But, it has &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 5&lt;br /&gt;taken a lot of years to develop the relationship I now have with Him.  I began commanding storms to go away when I was in my early 20s.  He backs what furthers His will!  If a storm gets in the way of His will, then He backs the command for it to stop!&lt;br /&gt;I John 5:14-15: “And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His will, He hears us!  And if we know that He hears us… we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him”. &lt;br /&gt;In 2004, I was on my way to do an intercession assignment from Abba over the Gulf of Mexico. Houston had been flooded for days.  A friend was supposed to go with me, but her husband said she could not go because the weatherman said the storms were increasing and Houston was due for more flooding. I told her to tell Norman that on the morning we were to leave by Abba’s instructions, the weather would be clear and sunny over Houston--no flooding, just fluffy white clouds in the sky.  Norman knew me, so he said “OOOOO-K”. The next morning we were to leave at 7:00 AM. On the 6:00 AM news, the newscaster said: “We don’t know what happened but the storms have ceased over Houston and the flooding has gone”.  I just smiled—thank you Abba! The sunny, warm, fluffy white cloud scenario became His pattern--every time I went to do an assignment for Him, even if the day before and the day after had bitter weather.   &lt;br /&gt;Recently before going to Bolivia, to the highest and most remote capitol in the world--over 13,000 feet--the weatherman reported minus O degrees with snow and ice. I told my friend, who was going with me, that it would be warm, sunny, with white fluffy clouds. It was! It was in the 80s F.  It was a perfect day. Two days later we were in the airplane waiting to take off at 6:00 AM, and the captain said: “We won’t be able to take off for an hour due to storms around La Paz”.  My friend and I just smiled. &lt;br /&gt;I learned a long time ago not to “tick off” Messiah, especially on the way to an assignment, by whining for Him to do something that I was well able to do myself.  (Mark 4:35-5:1)  If He says: “Go to the other side”, then we go. If a storm gets in the way, rebuke it – tell it to stop!  Messiah expected His disciples to do just that, and let Him sleep. Mark 4:40: Messiah said to them: “Why are you so afraid? Have you not yet obtained faith?”  In other words—I told you we were going to the other side—what’s your problem?  &lt;br /&gt;Fear, whining, complaining, hiding in excuses, taking refuge in lies or self-created fantasies, putting a personality on Abba that is not Him – all are tactics of cowards and weaklings.  We are called to overcome to the end, and believe &lt;br /&gt;me we will have horrendous obstacles to overcome.  We must begin today to discipline ourselves for what’s ahead, in all ways!&lt;br /&gt;If we won’t discipline ourselves, He can’t use us to go against a strong enemy.  He won’t back undisciplined laziness.  The true warrior walks into the face of “Ahab” and says: “It won’t rain because I said so” (I Kings 17:1). But, Eliyahu &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 6&lt;br /&gt;was well disciplined, and his authority was 100% backed by Abba because as the verse starts out: “As Elohim lives, before whom I stand…”  I’ve had to command “it won’t rain” several times, in order to get safely out of the jungles of Africa.&lt;br /&gt;We must dwell in His presence! He has to know you. He has to trust you. He has to back you—or else you will fall on your face before the enemy!  He won’t fool with a fool who plays games with known truth!  &lt;br /&gt;Then there is “paralyzing fear”—fear that takes over and freezes a person, affecting their decisions in the negative. Paralyzing fear cancels faith.  Faith is based on one thing—what He has said to us personally from the Word or directly through those 40 different ways that He speaks.  He is very verbal to those servants that obey without excuses.  (Refer to: “Forty Ways Yahuweh Speaks to His People”) &lt;br /&gt;I got in trouble with some wives of elders who were offended at my articles “Linked Arm and Arm” and “Fear Tactics”, but I can’t compromise truth!  Revelation 21:8 says that the fearful and the cowardly will go into the lake of fire along with the whores and murderers--because “…without faith it is &lt;br /&gt;impossible to please Him!” (Hebrews 11:6)  &lt;br /&gt;Habakkuk 2:4--“The just shall live by his faith”. &lt;br /&gt; “…Whatsoever is not of faith is sin”. (Romans 14:23b)  &lt;br /&gt;Being temporarily scared because of what is – is natural. You’d be kinda weird if you saw an alligator in your path and didn’t have a twinge of “ohmagosh”. But, the reaction to what is determines whether you are fit for battle, or a coward. &lt;br /&gt;I plead with you: Get off those fear mongering Internet sites!  Feed your mind the promises of the Psalms!  Praise Yahuweh!  Praise Yahushua!  Dance before Him in joy!  Stop letting your mind be a dump for sewage!  Stop being a voyeur and calling sinful movies “entertainment”.  Clean up your mind and humble it to obey what Abba is trying to tell you in your spirit! &lt;br /&gt;If you’re overweight, get out and walk, stop eating health-destroying foods--discipline yourself! Neither can you face the hierarch demons that are coming into this earth with a mind full of CSI, or deceiving rumors off Internet!  Stop fear in yourself and in others!  Don’t be guilty of spreading rumors and fear!  &lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 12:1-11: Discipline is for sons only—if one does not yield to discipline by the Master, they are called “bastards” – King James Version.  &lt;br /&gt;ONLY FEAR YAHUWEH!  He holds your eternal life in His hands! &lt;br /&gt;The word “fear” in relationship to Yahuweh throughout the Word is: “paralyzing, traumatizing, terrifying fear” – in other words: “Set-apart Yahuweh of Hosts, and &lt;br /&gt;let Him be your fear and let Him be your dread” (Isaiah 8:13-14)&lt;br /&gt;“…He is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”! (Hebrews 4:12)&lt;br /&gt;In Scripture almost all the time the “heart”, which is “deceitful and desperately &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 7&lt;br /&gt;wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9-10) refers to the mind and emotions—the soul—the life force that contacts the natural world through the five senses. The soul is the seat of the sin-prone nature. Thus, “who can know it?” – Only Yahuweh!  If one is truly born of the Spirit, and filled with the Spirit, then Abba’s Spirit gives the &lt;br /&gt;power to us to subject the soul under His authority!  The mind is one’s worst enemy. The mind is the battlefield. If you conquer the mind, and subject it to the authority of the Spirit in your spirit, then you can have authority and boldness to go against the enemy of your soul.  If the soul controls the spirit, and Abba’s Spirit is suppressed, then there is no power to go against the enemy. &lt;br /&gt;The enemy is not stronger than Yahuweh, but the Lucifer-fallen angel world is stronger than we are--in the natural realm. If we go against the enemy in our own soul-zeal, based on misconception of our spirituality, without His armor shielding us, and His backing, we will be defeated.  He won’t back misplaced zeal. He only backs what He commands.  &lt;br /&gt;Therefore, self-deception seems to be the greatest problem with “believers” of the West.  All too many are like toddlers who pretend to be mighty warriors in the face of their teddy bears, but if a real foe presented itself, they’d be terrified and scream for mommy. The tests to come will prove everyone’s real self. But, an untested soldier in a battle is dangerous to himself and to all around him.  (Deuteronomy 8:2-4)&lt;br /&gt;We must look squarely at II Thessalonians 2:8-10. Yahuweh will send a strong delusion to those who are fearful of the truth, so that they will believe a lie and be damned. Two years ago, I had many people who wanted to know the truth about the fulfillment of prophetic Scripture, happening all around us--I was constantly teaching in meetings. Now, few want to hear. Now, even those who want to hear and are planning meetings, warn me that few will listen. One of the main reasons they give is that most are so filled with “fear”, or apathy.  &lt;br /&gt;But, a few months back, Abba said: “It’s time for the watchmen to come off the walls, for the enemy is at the gate!” The time of warning is over.  Few have taken the warnings and acted. Most got scared for a few days, then went back to sleep.  I’ve heard reports from several Messianic friends who have moved out of America, that their former congregation friends have gone back to sleep, and no one is preparing anymore for anything. The watchmen have laid down their lives to warn the people (Ezekiel 33:1-7), but as in Ezekiel’s day no one listened until Nebuchadnezzar attacked. The Jews of Germany went on with life as usual until Hitler attacked. These are the “foolish virgins” of Matthew 25.&lt;br /&gt;Luke 16:8: “And Messiah commended the unjust steward for he had acted wisely—for the children of this world are, in their generations, wiser than the children of light”.  True! -- The wily wisdom of the world brings &lt;br /&gt;results--right or wrong.  Yes, all types of seculars are setting up in other countries and doing well – believing in their own abilities to produce. But, the children of Yahuweh, who have been warned for 2,500 years, repeated in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 8&lt;br /&gt;Revelation, to get out of America, have done nothing…and so most will perish in the destruction that is coming.  Yahuweh starts really early with His warnings: Jeremiah was sent to every nation on earth with the message of the judgment that we will face in a very short time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t be discouraged if this is new to you, or if you’re just now starting out on this preparatory journey. The old cliché by Confucius is applicable: “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step!”&lt;br /&gt;Why do you want to learn spiritual warfare? -- To go against the “wiles of the Devil” on behalf of your family, congregation, friends, or for your own life?  That is good!  But, there is a higher purpose for spiritual warfare. &lt;br /&gt;There are two types of spiritual warfare: 1) Warfare to loose the bonds of the enemy over others, and 2) Proclamations to the spirits of fallen angels themselves--bringing a message from Yahuweh, and to open portals for Yahuweh’s entrance to do His will. Gate opening for the King is what is most important now!  In opening a gate for the King to do as He wills in the earth, you are also opening portals/gates/doors for the release of His remnant throughout the earth. &lt;br /&gt;You must think on a higher plain than that of our own little world.  This &lt;br /&gt;is where spiritual warfare and intercession come together—placing the key in the lock to open doors.  Intercession must be done on site. Spiritual warfare for those close to you, or for yourself, can be done where you are. But, spiritual warfare done over portals for Yahuweh and His remnant must also be done on site!  Get yourself ready to be mobile! Let go of everything that entangles you.  &lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 12:1-4: “We, too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us, looking to the Princely Leader and Pefecter of our faith—Yahushua—who for the joy that was set before Him enduring the stake, having despised the shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim. For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and faint in your lives. You have not yet resisted unto blood—striving against sin”.  &lt;br /&gt;I’ve seen the “cloud of witnesses” clearly three times. They saved my life at one point, in Uganda. They are cheering us on. Read Hebrews 11 – that’s them! &lt;br /&gt;Are you able to discern the difference between what is of the Devil and what is Yahuweh trying to discipline you? Are you submitted to Him to the point where He can tell you truth and you won’t balk at it?  Most think “attacks” are from the Devil, when much of the time it is Yahuweh trying to grow them up. Most of what people call “attacks” of the Devil are simply the result of their own wrong decisions.  You might have physical problems because you did not discipline your &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 9&lt;br /&gt;body. You might have marriage problems because you married outside of Abba’s will.  Your kids might be messed up because you did not discipline them as children.  We must go to the root of the problem with Abba’s help, and cut the root. You must close all doors to the enemy against future attacks!  &lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 8:2-3: “You shall remember all the way which Yahuweh your Elohim led you these forty years in the wilderness—to humble you, and to prove you, and to know what is in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not”.   Yahuweh is constantly testing us!  If we pass, like Job did, then we advance and go forward, if we fail we go backwards, and sometimes people go all the way back to darkness.  &lt;br /&gt;Messiah instructs us well—that we must first bind the strong man—the chief principality--and then we can destroy his cohorts. But, the strong man might emanate from your own deceived thinking—your excuse-making for not doing as &lt;br /&gt;He has instructed. Be Honest with yourself!  (Matthew 12:28-29; Mark 3:26-27) Only the Spirit has absolute understanding of your deepest self – go to Him. Ask Him to reveal to you “any wicked way” and to lead you into all truth.  &lt;br /&gt;The only way a person can make a wrong decision is by being led by their own head reasoning or the wrong reasoning of someone else. &lt;br /&gt;Those that are led by and taught by Abba’s Spirit, and who obey totally, make no mistakes in either their thinking or their actions!  But, sad to say, He has ceased talking to the majority of people because they don’t obey Him anyway.  &lt;br /&gt;One thing I learned a long time ago, and taught pastors in Africa, is to go on the offensive with the enemy.  Going on the defensive, once he’s already in your house, in your life, in your children—you have a 40-50% chance of running him off—if you’re able to do it.  If you hear a knock on your door, and you open &lt;br /&gt;it and there stands the Devil smiling at you, and you invite him in for tea, he’s not leaving.  By the time you realize you’ve made a horrible mistake, you’re in a big mess. You can go on the defensive and try to get him out, but most of the time he wins the right to stay, and he wears you down. Then most become content with him staying, and go on as if he’s not there. &lt;br /&gt;Or – you can hear a knock at the door, open it, discern it is the evil Devil, and tell him to go away and never return, then slam the door in his face. That’s offensive warfare!  Once he gets the idea that he is going to get the door slammed in his face every time, he won’t bother you.  &lt;br /&gt;The enemy knows our weak points. He knows doors we’ve left open to his entrance. He, being a legalist, comes right on in.  TV opens doors, control of others, stubbornness, rebellion, love of money, refusal to discipline children, and on and on – there are thousands of doors we can open in our lives, and if he finds one—he’ll come on in for tea.  Some doors require “deliverance” to shut. Some, like “familiar spirits” or “generational curses”, require assistance from Abba’s warriors.  But, most of the time, our “attacks” are because we’ve opened &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 10&lt;br /&gt;doors.   Close all doors to the enemy. Some of the doors might be false mercy, false tolerance of wrong, false responsibility, false thinking gendered by religion.    &lt;br /&gt;Daniel 11:32: “The people who know their Elohim shall be strong and shall act”.  The secret is: KNOW YAHUWEH--His nature, ways and thinking, and fearing Him enough to obey Him without whining, compromise and retreat.     &lt;br /&gt;Teaching spiritual warfare is kind of like giving someone instructions as to how to swim, or how to ride a bicycle.  It won’t do you any good unless you get out of your comfort zone and apply the wisdom.  The article “Walk the Hard Road” has changed lives, because a few have put its principles into action. “Faith” is an action word – wisdom is of no use unless applied. What I write here, as in many of my articles, is do or die information. &lt;br /&gt;I had to learn spiritual warfare quickly forty-four years ago for survival. I made a lot of mistakes. Thus I have gained wisdom. You don’t need to make the same mistakes. You don’t have time to make mistakes!  Now, I must apply the wisdom more than ever. But, this has resulted in being able to deliver many from strong demonic oppression. &lt;br /&gt;Go over the list of forty things that happens when a person is truly born of the &lt;br /&gt;Spirit, and see if you fit that scenario.  (Refer to: “The True New Birth”)  If you do not fit the criteria of the Word for one born of the Spirit, then humble yourself and repent of your sins. Commit your life to following the Master Yahushua, who leads you to Yahuweh and His Kingdom, unreservedly. Submit yourself to being &lt;br /&gt;filled by the Spirit and controlled by Him.  (Romans 8:14)  Allow Him to transform you into the image of Messiah (II Corinthians 3:17-18)&lt;br /&gt;No one in their right mind would go into warfare with a powerful enemy if they still have fond attachments to the enemy’s kingdom. We must be freed by the &lt;br /&gt;power of the Spirit in the true new birth, and come completely out of the kingdom of darkness. Otherwise, the kingdom of darkness has every legal right to destroy you, for they still have claim to you.  You must be empowered by the Spirit, filled by the Spirit, and led by the Spirit to do successful spiritual warfare. &lt;br /&gt;“The fear of Yahuweh is the beginning of wisdom!” But, it is also said of our day: “Truth has fallen in the street”… (Isaiah 59:14) Truth demands change. But most are hiding in their “refuge of lies”, contentedly waiting for someone to come along and transport them to glory without their having to do anything.  People are finding refuge in all types of lies—deceptions/illusions of fantasy. No one who does spiritual warfare must hide in deceptions--for they will have no power against the enemy, and Yahuweh won’t back them. &lt;br /&gt;The cost of discipleship is everything! (Luke 14:25-33) Unless we are self-disciplined regarding our own life, how can we submit to His discipline? Death is “self” is imperative if we want to go further with Yahuweh! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 11&lt;br /&gt;Luke 10:19 is NOT a license to go against the hierarchies of Satan in religious zeal.  Messiah spoke to 70 people that He trusted. If He can’t trust us to stay within His perimeters, then we’d better keep quiet.  We can’t claim what He does not give to us … He is a Personal Elohim! &lt;br /&gt;Many years back, when I was still a charismatic minister, I wanted a house in Fort Worth, Texas.  I “claimed” a really lovely house, and began a “name it and claim it” routine.  We did not get the house. I got mad at “God”.  Why had He failed me? I was yelling at the Devil to get his hands off that house—it was mine.  Abba very sweetly answered me: “Did I tell you it was your house?”  I was shocked. I said “NO”.  He replied: “Unless I tell you something is yours, it is not yours”.  We must hear from Him before we do any commanding.  Many go into warfare to command things that are not theirs to command. Abba doesn’t back them, and then they get in serious trouble. &lt;br /&gt;One time I left my wallet sitting in a phone booth in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. It had money in it, a $500.00 check, credit cards, and some important personal items. The moment I realized I had left it there, Abba immediately clamped down on my fear and said: “It will be all right”.  I was not as confident &lt;br /&gt;as I am now in accepting something like that from Him– but I calmed down. I stopped payment on the check. I cancelled the credit cards.  I contacted “lost and found”, but it was not found. The next afternoon at 4:00 PM, I had my Bible open in my lap. I looked down and saw Psalm 116:7: “Return to your rest &lt;br /&gt;oh my soul, for Yahwueh has treated you well”.  My spirit smiled.  I knew He was up to something good.  I’m used to his leaps of joy in my spirit when He’s about to bring good.  At 4:03 the phone rang.  It was a manager of American Airlines ticketing at the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  He just happened to be across from the phones when I left my wallet.  He just so happened to keep my wallet rather than take it to “lost and found”, where he said it would be stolen.  I went to the airport, and he returned it to me, all intact! When Abba says something, it is for sure!  &lt;br /&gt;Fear going  beyond the boundaries of His Word, to say or do anything outside of His protective perimeters. I can’t emphasize this enough! &lt;br /&gt;Never forget II Corinthians 11:14-15: “For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, that his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.” &lt;br /&gt;Be careful to discern spirits.  Make sure you know the difference between the spirit of man, the spirit of Lucifer and his angels, and the Spirit of Yahuweh. The only ways to discern are: 1) to know the Word very well as it interlocks from Genesis to Revelation, 2) to know the nature of Yahuweh, and 3) to be filled with His Spirit, and so have the gift of discernment of spirits.  &lt;br /&gt;No one had better attempt any spiritual warfare unless they are born of the Spirit and filled with the Spirit. It is by His filling that the empowerment &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 12&lt;br /&gt;comes, and His manifestations (gifts) that aid in the battle.  It is by the Spirit within that we hear Him clearly, and are not deceived! Please refer to the studies “The Manifestations of the Set-Apart Spirit” and “Preparing for the Inevitable”, and the article “The Ruach and Sha’vu’ot”, to learn more.   &lt;br /&gt;The demonic world is a legalistic one – the fallen angels know their boundaries. If we do not tell them to “go to the dry places” for judgment, if we do not tell them “do not return”, if we play games with them, or follow some religious person’s formula – they have every right to jump, come back, and play games with us. This is not about garlic and crucifixes waved at Dracula. This is about reality on a real battlefield.  &lt;br /&gt;“Study to show yourselves approved unto Elohim—a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth”.  (II Timothy 2:15) The Spirit teaches the same things to everyone who will listen to Him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must stay within our personal Yahuweh-given authority boundaries.  But, first you have to be known by Yahuweh so that He trusts you and will back you.  Those who go off yelling at the Devil, going to “lay-lines” of demonic regions, those who do their hocus pocus like putting the wine and unleavened bread on demonic gates, those who hold hands in circles &lt;br /&gt;like witches in a coven, those who think they are so big because they have a big mouth, end up with disasters in their own lives and the lives of their families--because the demons don’t know them. &lt;br /&gt;Most do not use the real Names of Abba and Son, but names of pagan gods, or cheapened versions of Their Names.  A once very powerful ex-satanist told me that in the pentagram, they use the name “Jesus” to call the demons, as well as dismiss them, for Iesous (Jesus) – is what the New Age people call an “ascended Master” – a demon of the underworld—related to Zeus, Bacchus, Sarapis and Osiris.  Get the Name right!  It has to do with fearing Him, and obeying the first and third commandments.  Abba said to me, about 1998, “My tolerance for the use of the pagan names is coming to an end”.  I was in a church at the time, having gone with friends I was visiting. I heard a shofar being blown behind me, several times. I turned around, again and again, and saw no one blowing a shofar. I investigated but found no one blowing a shofar. I believe one of Abba’s angels was letting me know that His mercy on ignorance was ending.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zechariah 3:2: “And Yahuweh said to Satan: `YAHUWEH REBUKE YOU SATAN! YAHUWEH WHO HAS CHOSEN YERUSHALYIM REBUKE YOU…”   &lt;br /&gt;This is the most powerful rebuke in the universe.  Yahuweh used His own name in rebuking Satan.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jude 1:9: Michael rebuked Satan by using Yahuweh’s Name. 6, 823 times (Tenach alone) the word “Lord” is substituted for YHWH—Yahuweh.  Why?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 13&lt;br /&gt;Because His Name is all powerful against Satan, and Satan is terrified of it—so he had to shut it down, first with the Jews, then with the Christians, now with the laws of the whole world.  Even Messianics are fearful of using His Name, breaking the 3rd commandment, bringing His Name to nothingness, to appease ridiculous Jewish superstition from Babylon. Messiah’s Name is Yahushua Yahuweh – He came in His Abba’s Name—the family Name.  &lt;br /&gt;Abba’s Name has been declared illegal in the homes and churches of Roman Catholics.  Refer to the article: “Hated for His Name’s Sake”.  His Name is illegal on the law books of the U.S. and all the first world nations. His Name has been banned from use, because those who use it are potential terrorists and cultists, they say.  His Name is to be praised!  His Name is to be used with honor and dignity in the mouth of His servants. It is not to be bantered around by the religious who do their religious thing, but do not care to know Him.  It is to be held in the highest esteem. But, in warfare, He backs His Name in the mouths of those He trusts and backs – those who fear Him with set-apart fear.&lt;br /&gt;Just because you use His Name in warfare does not mean He will back you – and the demons know that!  Demons are fallen angels—those that left “their first estate” to follow Lucifer/Satan in his rebellion against Yahuweh.  But, at one time they were in the throne room with Abba, and so they know how to deceive very well.  But, in the mouth of a trusted servant, His Name is incredibly powerful! &lt;br /&gt;If you want to do correct spiritual warfare, do not let the names of other gods be in your mouth – that includes titles that are names of other gods also. Let go of &lt;br /&gt;everything to do with the counterfeits – especially the counterfeit that He calls the “great whore” of Babylon – the church.  (Carefully go over the serious studies on the roots of Christianity and the true names of Father and Son: “The Foundation of Deception” and “The Hebrew Names and Titles…”)  Yelling the &lt;br /&gt;enemy’s names only makes him mock, laugh and snicker … it opens the door for him to retaliate!  If you mix Christianity with the practice of Torah, they know &lt;br /&gt;that too.  We must come out of everything that Yahuweh will judge – including the whore of Babylon, and all of its daughters.  The gods of Christianity and of all religions, which were ALL started by man with Luciferic guidance, have nothing to do with Yahuweh and Yahushua!  They are outside of religion. The gods of Christianit, as well as of all religions, are NOT the Elohim of the Scriptures!  -- but are counterfeits!  The enemy knows if you’re coming at him with the real One, or with a counterfeit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sons of Sceva kept the Torah.  Sceva himself was a chief priest.  Just like observing the laws of America don’t give you special brownie points with the government, but the breaking of the laws brings judgment, so to observe the Torah protects you from the penalties for breaking the Torah.  The Torah is the teachings and instructions of how to function in the Kingdom of Yahuweh &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 14&lt;br /&gt;without punishment.  It’s the rules to be followed.  But, so many are making their keeping of the Torah their god – depending on their goodness of performance for their salvation and protection.  It only protects as long as our relationship is in good standing with the giver of the Torah.  So many times in the Torah, Prophets and Writings (Tenach), Abba is angry at those who keep the Torah—“FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW ME”.  Jeremiah 8:7-9 describes Rabbinic Judaism that came from the diabolical Rabbi Akiva in the 2nd century. He taught that the opinions of the rabbis superceded the direct word of Yahuweh, and demoted Yahuweh to just another rabbi with an opinion. (Refer to: “Rabbinic Judaism and Its Link to Rome”) It is still squarely in the Vatican’s lap.&lt;br /&gt;“They say we are wise and the Torah of Yahuweh is with us. But look, the false pen of the scribe has worked falsehood. The wise shall be put to shame…See, they have rejected the Word of Yahuweh--so what wisdom do they have?”  Most Rabbinic Judaism has rejected the Word of Yahuweh, and incorporated the demonic Kabala, Gamatria, the words of the Talmud and Oral Law, reincarnation, the zodiac and astrology, for the pure Word of Yahuweh as taught by His Spirit.  But, then again, so has the religion of Christianity and its satellite Messianic movement.  Whenever man has his self-centered finger in religious belief, it is defiled!  &lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 2:8-9, 11, 13: “The priests did not say, `Where is Yahuweh?’ And those who handle the Torah do not know Me!  `Therefore, I contend with you’ declares Yahuweh, `and with your children’s children I content…But, My people have changed My esteem for that which does not profit…For My people have done two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew out for themselves cracked cisterns which do not hold water’ ”. &lt;br /&gt;Make sure you are not depending on your own righteousness, based on following religious principles set down by a religious leader! The sons of Sceva kept the Torah! But, they did not know Yahuweh! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enemy must know who you are … for you to have any clout with him!  &lt;br /&gt;***Acts 19:11-16: “And Elohim worked unusual miracles through the hands of Sha’ul…But certain roving Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the Name of the Master Yahushua over those who had wicked spirits saying, `We &lt;br /&gt;exorcise you by Yahushua whom Sha’ul proclaims’.  And there were seven sons of a certain man named Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who were doing this. The wicked spirit answering said, `Yahushua I know and Sha’ul I know, but who are you?’ And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded”.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can’t fool the demonic realm. You might fool those in your congregation, family, work associates, or other friends, but you can’t fool Yahuweh and you can’t fool the demonic realm. They are called “Watchers” – and they watch you. They know if you have hidden, sneaky ways.  So, in coming against them, they can retaliate legally back on you—if they detect you are game-playing.  &lt;br /&gt;To clearly hear from Abba and follow Him, once has to be free of human dependency!  One has had to forsake all except His voice.  &lt;br /&gt;I cannot stress it enough: When the command of spiritual warfare leaves our mouth, we must be under His authority totally!&lt;br /&gt;We must fear saying anything that adds or subtracts from what He is telling us to say!  This is major!  Yahushua said many times that He did nothing and said nothing unless His Father told Him what to do and say. (John 12:48-50 is a good example)  Are we better than Him?  Do we have a right to thoughts that do not align to His Word?  Do we have a right to speak our own words as we will?  Do we have a right to do as we please? – No, not if we call Him “Master”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key verses: II Corinthians 10:3-6: “For though we walk in the flesh (the body), we do not fight according to the flesh. Or the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, overthrowing reasoning and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim—taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Messiah, and being ready to punish all disobedience, WHEN your obedience is complete”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training begins with small assignments!  If you do well, you go on to bigger assignments.  Do not attempt to go against the big powers of darkness without first passing your tests with the smaller ones.  This is no game—this is the final battle of the ages!  The enemy has the power to destroy you and your family if you play games in this arena! &lt;br /&gt;His weapons include the power of the declarative in our mouth declaring His Word, His Name, the nine gifts of the Spirit including the discernment of spirits, praise and worship, “tongues of angels”, bold faith and zeal under His control--just to name a few.  But, we must only do spiritual warfare if our thoughts, words and actions are 100% under His authority.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lesson learned the hard way: One day after reading a book on spiritual warfare that described the demonic hell my children and I had lived in so many years, I &lt;br /&gt;got mad. I came against the principality and power known as “Python”.  By this time I was a strong warrior, a trained and seasoned warrior, but my emotions got in the way. Within ½ an hour, three of my children were in danger of death &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 16&lt;br /&gt;from car accidents, and my daughter-in-law lost a baby in the womb—my grandchild. She said she went into the bathroom and everything became very dark. She heard evil laughter and felt a strong band around her mid-section, and she lost the baby.  I had taken a table knife to a T-Rex, so to speak. I had no right to attack that spirit. It is the principality over America—that is, like a python, crushing the life out of the American people.  &lt;br /&gt;The python spirit is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, right across the Potomac River from Washington DC—major portal for Egyptian, Greek and Roman gods.  But, it is also a god of Masonry from the Oracle of Delphi—an &lt;br /&gt;oracle/prophecy of the return of Apollo (Apollyon/Abaddon—Revelation 9).  &lt;br /&gt;This principality is the highest of the snake spirits, including the anaconda spirit. &lt;br /&gt;Only Messiah Yahushua has the power to bring down this spirit!  We must learn our boundaries, and only do as He backs!  I learned quickly. I pray you don’t get &lt;br /&gt;foolish as you see things that are wrong become more wrong – but understand that He can only back what is of Him.  He told me in Egypt very strongly that I &lt;br /&gt;was not to speak to the Great Pyramid, as I had spoken to the stones of other megalithic structures, but only to the gods of Egypt. I learned later that it was because the Great Pyramid is HIS monument to Messiah and His Bride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He trains, then tests. If we pass our test, then we get more training. If we keep passing, we get more personal attention from the Master. If we keep passing, we end up a trusted servant that He can work with.  His tests are hard! Do not run from His tests!&lt;br /&gt;He starts us off small.  He does not send a weak one into battle with the strong &lt;br /&gt;ones. Fear not—He will train you as an individual as long as you submit to Him and don’t get lazy!  We get more promotions as we obey Him exactly without any additions or subtractions, balking, or excuses.  If we balk at an assignment, He backs off.  Fear His backing off--letting you go your own way!&lt;br /&gt;If we drag our feet in doing what He’s said, He backs off. He won’t put up with a lazy, self-centered, undisciplined, self-righteous, servant who has his own mind &lt;br /&gt;to do his own thing.  The true servant has to be trusted by the Master 100%, and that can only be done by constant testing and testing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 25:11-12: “And later the other virgins (the foolish ones) came saying `Master, Master, open up for us!’  And He, answering, said: `Truly I say to you, I do not know you’ ”. They could not go into the wedding feast, for they were unprepared.  They had been lazy while the wise had been diligent. &lt;br /&gt;Abraham trusted Eleazer to do exactly as he said. And Eleazer was so trusted &lt;br /&gt;that Abraham not only put him over his household business, but over finding a bride for Isaac.  Eleazer became his friend.  If you want to be a friend of Yahuweh and Yahushua, then you have to be a trusted servant, under authority, not inserting your thoughts above His. (John 15:14-21)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 17&lt;br /&gt;Prayer is not intercession, neither is it spiritual warfare! Prayer is to interact with the Master in order to hear Him tell us what He wants us to know. Messiah was in prayer whole night, then He went out to do as His Abba told Him.  We must be “as our Master”.  We must never usurp His authority!  &lt;br /&gt;True Scriptural spiritual warfare always done by the command/declaration of His will into the earth.  It is never something that we take on ourselves.  &lt;br /&gt;You have to have the right Elohim if you’re going to do successful battle with the world of Lucifer!  Make sure you are submitting to the right Elohim. ALL RELIGIOUS BELIEF SYSTEMS HAVE THE WRONG GODS.  &lt;br /&gt;You can only know the true One by two ways: 1) By studying the Tenach, and &lt;br /&gt;learning His nature and His ways, and 2) by being guided by His Spirit into all truth.  &lt;br /&gt;The demonic realm is terrified of the Bridal remnant, for she is marked and sealed, and they cannot destroy her. They try … but she continues on. They fear her because through her the human race will continue, and the King will come for sure.  &lt;br /&gt;The Bridal remnant walks in the nature of Messiah--the fruit of the re-born spirit is listed in Galatians 5:22-24. By producing this fruit in your life, all men, and demons, will know you.  If you are not living like the nature of Messiah, the demonic world claims you as one of theirs. &lt;br /&gt;This is why personal, intimate, relationship with the One in authority over the demonic world must be the main priority of anyone who wants to learn or practice spiritual warfare! Total openness to Him is imperative, so that He might correct and teach at any given moment. Be ready to change on a daily basis as He shows you yourself. &lt;br /&gt;In the days to come, we will face the return of the Nephilim, the Rephaim, and alien beings that are “fallen angels” in disguise, as well as the disembodied demons that we now face in part.

We’ve been warned.  Don’t wait until something really happens big before you get a good grip on spiritual warfare.  In a war zone, using weapons of warfare is a moment by moment necessity--like the IDF soldiers, you sleep with your weapon.&lt;br /&gt;Sha’ul said: “Know you not that we will judge angels, how much more the things of this life?”  If He has those He trusts that will judge fallen angels, how under His control must they be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please go over and over these instructions – these are the basic qualifications for doing spiritual warfare without retaliation!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More in Part II…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 18&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-3559857028416340201?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/3559857028416340201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/12/spiritual-warefare-1.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/3559857028416340201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/3559857028416340201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/12/spiritual-warefare-1.html' title='SPIRITUAL WAREFARE   1'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-6180728316427257090</id><published>2010-11-04T15:41:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T15:43:54.291-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Elections 2010</title><content type='html'>Well, the elections are over, will that change anything?

It listed the “occupation” of Arab lands, the building of Israel’s security barrier, military checkpoints, the jailing of terrorists (defined in the statement as “political prisoners”) and the general disruption of Palestinian life as some of the main reasons behind the exodus of Palestinian Christians and Muslim attacks on the Jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;Cyril Salim Bustros, the Lebanon-born Greek archbishop of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Boston, Massachusetts was responsible for delivering the final statement.&lt;br /&gt;In clarifying remarks, he stated that “the Holy Scriptures cannot be used to justify the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians, to justify the occupation by Israel of Palestinian lands.”&lt;br /&gt;He then escalated the situation by declaring that the original promises made by God to the children of Israel “were nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people.”&lt;br /&gt;Bustros rejected the idea of Israel as “the Jewish state,” and insisted that eventually all the so-called “Palestinian refugees” must return to the land, a sure recipe for the demographic destruction of the world’s only Jewish nation-state.&lt;br /&gt;Mordechai Levi, Israel’s ambassador to the Vatican, decried Bustros’ comments and the damage they had done to strengthening ties between Israel and the Church.&lt;br /&gt;The Catholic Church has for years been trying to repair its image as an institution steeped in anti-Semitism. But Bustros’ remarks make fairly clear that the Vatican remains as dedicated as ever to replacement theology - that teaching that says God has tossed aside the Jews, despite is irrevocable promises to them, and that “the Church” has instead inherited those promises.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-6701966926501311677?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/6701966926501311677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/10/catholic-church-christ-nullified-gods.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/6701966926501311677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/6701966926501311677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/10/catholic-church-christ-nullified-gods.html' title='Catholic Church: Christ nullified God&apos;s promises to the Jews'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-7068775753363975362</id><published>2010-10-18T10:38:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T10:38:37.955-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Blessings to you</title><content type='html'>It has been a while since my last post.....

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)&lt;br /&gt;(CNSNews.com) - If you want proof that President Obama's Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham, look no further than Pennsylvania, says House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Boehner and other Republicans point to reports that the Health and Human Services Department is giving Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new high-risk insurance pool that will cover any abortion that is legal in the state.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"The fact that the high-risk pool insurance program in Pennsylvania will use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is unconscionable," Boehner said in a statement on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Just last month at the White House, I asked President Obama to provide the American people with a progress report on the implementation of his Executive Order, which purports to ban taxpayer-funding of abortions. Unfortunately, the President provided no information, and the American people are still waiting for answers."&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;President Obama pledged that under his health care plan “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In a May 13 letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Boehner asked if her department has provided guidance to the states on how to implement the president’s Executive Order on abortion funding. Boehner also asked Sebelius if the new federal high-risk pools would exclude abortion coverage.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He says his questions remain unanswered.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Millions of Americans care deeply about this aspect of the new law and its implementation, and no progress report is complete without detailed information about it,” Boehner wrote to Sebelius.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The conservative Family Research Council says the $160 million in taxpayer funds for Pennsylvania is the first known instance of direct federal funding of abortions through the new high-risk insurance pools.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The abortion funding for pool participants validates the arguments pro-life groups made throughout the health care debate – that taxpayer dollars will fund abortions, said Tom McClusky, senior vice president of the Family Research Council’s political action arm.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“For our efforts to remove the bill's abortion funding, we were called 'deceivers' by President Obama and 'liars' by his allies. Now we know who the true deceivers and liars really are,’ McClusky said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"This action by the Obama Administration also exposes the worthlessness of President Obama's Executive Order that supposedly would prevent federal funding of abortion, but which both sides, including Planned Parenthood, agreed was unenforceable.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"While the American people deserve an apology from President Obama for his deception, we should only be satisfied when this Pennsylvania abortion funding is rescinded and the health care law repealed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;McClusky noted that the new health care law also includes $12.5 billion for community health centers, and $6 billion for co-ops, both of which can fund abortions.  And some people will use tax credits to help them pay for plans that cover abortion.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Even before it’s fully implemented, the Democrats’ health care plan “is already being exposed as a high-taxing, poorly thought-out, and taxpayer-funding-of-abortion monstrosity,” McClusky said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Republican leader Boehner says House Republicans would codify the Hyde amendment, thus prohibiting all authorized and appropriated federal funds from being used to pay for abortion.  Under the Republican plan, any health plan that includes abortion coverage would not receive federal funds.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-2315911779938788634?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/2315911779938788634/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/07/well-you-knew-it-had-to-happen.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/2315911779938788634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/2315911779938788634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/07/well-you-knew-it-had-to-happen.html' title='Well, you knew it had to Happen'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-4946096204357251049</id><published>2010-06-24T09:15:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-24T09:15:32.922-05:00</updated><title type='text'>IS OIL SPILL PROPHETIC?</title><content type='html'>WND ExclusiveWND TV&lt;br /&gt;Is oil catastrophe fulfillment of Genesis prophecy?&lt;br /&gt;Video suggests biblical tie with U.S. treatment of Israel, rig explosion&lt;br /&gt;Posted: June 23, 2010&lt;br /&gt;9:47 pm Eastern&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Joe Kovacs&lt;br /&gt;© 2010 WorldNetDaily&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there a spiritual, biblical connection to the BP oil catastrophe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new video on YouTube is suggesting a possible link to the disaster due to America's recent treatment of Israel, and at least one well-known Bible analyst, Hal Lindsey, thinks there's a valid correlation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video was produced and posted today by Carl Gallups of the Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in Milton, Fla., and is embedded here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"April the 19th, Israel celebrates its independence in 2010," Gallups says in narration on the video. "On April the 19th, Fox News reports that the U.S. will no longer automatically support Israel in the United Nations. The next day, on April the 20th, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explodes. Coincidence? Or the hand and judgment of God?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minister cites an ancient promise God made to Abraham, the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel, one tribe of which is Judah from which the Jews derive their name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Book of Genesis, God told him, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse ... ." (Genesis 12:2-3, New International Version)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ancient warning of catastrophies has begun! Get the book that documents disasters tied to the forsaking of Israel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video displays a screenshot of a Fox News story titled, "Obama and Israel: Showdown at the U.N.?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its first sentence reads: "The Obama administration is reportedly signaling another major shift in policy towards one of its staunchest allies, Israel, and this shift could change the way it votes at the Security Council. The change would mean an end to the U.S.' use of its veto power in the United Nations Security Council when certain anti-Israel resolutions are introduced for a vote.‪"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gallups says while he was preparing his radio show, he wondered what else happened in the time frame of the rig explosion, to see if there was any connection to anything biblical at all.&lt;br /&gt;Crude oil is seen on the surface of the water in the Gulf of Mexico near Biloxi, Mississippi on June 12, 2010, as it continues to leak from the British Petroleum underwater well after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. UPI/Casey Ware/U.S. Coast Guard Photo via Newscom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He found the Fox News article dated April 19, and said what's significant about the date is that it's Israel's Independence Day this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Israel's original declaration took place May 14, 1948, the annual celebration actually floats from year to year in Israel, based on the lunar-based Hebrew calendar, and took place on April 19, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon realizing the date connection, "I looked at that and chills went up and down my spine," he told WND. "That's when I knew there was a correlation. To me, I just immediately felt a spiritual connection to it. If you have a spiritual perception at all, it really hits you hard."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are all these major events just a coincidence or awe-inspiring signs that God is actively involved with Israel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Referring to Israel as a "prophetic signpost," Gallups said, "It seems to me we're turning out back on Israel, and that's a very dangerous biblical or spiritual place to be."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gallups is not alone with the sentiment America could be under a curse from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I believe this is evidence that when you turn your back on Israel, especially when you've been a supporter, you're gonna see judgments come from God," said Hal Lindsey, author of "The Late Great Planet Earth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's finally reaching the point where God is removing His protection from us," he said. "I believe we back away from being a friend to Israel at our peril. We need to come back to be a supporter of one who is so important in God's plan."&lt;br /&gt;WAVELAND, MS - MAY 05: A dead drum fish is seen laying in the surf as concern continues that the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may harm animals in its path on May 5, 2010 in Waveland, Mississippi. It is unknown if the fish died due to the oil spill. Oil is still leaking out of the Deepwater Horizon wellhead at a estimated rate of 1,000-5,000 barrels a day. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the oil spill specifically, Lindsey said, "I think that this disaster is just one of many disasters. Our country is falling apart economically. The current government is overturning our constitutional republic, turning it into a socialist country. That's about as big a curse as you can get. We just have one catastrophe after another and then we have this big wake-up call in the gulf."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsey, who at age 80 is still active analyzing Bible prophecy on his website, said in preparation for his programs, he studies current world events, taking note of calamities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It used to be you'd have to hunt for things, but now it's a matter of sorting out which one you're gonna use. There are just so many catastrophes and disasters," he said. "That's a not a popular view to take, by the way, as critics will say, 'There they go again.' No one wants to address true judgment from God."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WND asked Lindsey if he thought we're now in the "end time" spoken of in the Bible before the return of Jesus Christ to Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think the prophecies are written that they encourage us to look for Christ's return," he said. "It's written so that it's imminent, that it could come at any time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is not an ordinary time," Lindsey continued. "I certainly thought that He would come sooner ... but the scenario and pattern about what Bible prophecy has predicted is here. I've never said I know when He's going to come, but I believe we're in the general time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gallups, meanwhile, is frustrated with YouTube, for freezing the hit counter for his video at 309 views, within a half-hour of its posting. He says the company often does this to his videos, if they have a theme even remotely critical of Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is probably going viral," Gallups explains on the YouTube page. "It will probably be at false low counts for days. You Tube will not tell me why our videos suffer from this anomaly. Our other popular vids took three or four days to start moving with any sense of 'believability.'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also told WND, "I've gotten notes from several posters trying to upload it to Facebook. They get a warning or denial saying the content is abusive, request denied. I can't imagine what kind of content in that video would be abusive."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-4946096204357251049?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/4946096204357251049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/06/is-oil-spill-prophetic.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/4946096204357251049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/4946096204357251049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/06/is-oil-spill-prophetic.html' title='IS OIL SPILL PROPHETIC?'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-7492918561555788778</id><published>2010-06-12T06:19:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T06:21:08.572-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Our World May Change At Any Moment!</title><content type='html'>REPORT FROM THE LONDON TIMES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The Times&lt;br /&gt;June 12, 2010&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites&lt;br /&gt;Hugh Tomlinson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommend? (343)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For full coverage, pictures and video from the Middle East, try our new website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom’s air defences will return to full alert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area. “They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren’t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources in Saudi Arabia say it is common knowledge within defence circles in the kingdom that an arrangement is in place if Israel decides to launch the raid. Despite the tension between the two governments, they share a mutual loathing of the regime in Tehran and a common fear of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “We all know this. We will let them [the Israelis] through and see nothing,” said one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The four main targets for any raid on Iran would be the uranium enrichment facilities at Natanz and Qom, the gas storage development at Isfahan and the heavy-water reactor at Arak. Secondary targets include the lightwater reactor at Bushehr, which could produce weapons-grade plutonium when complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The targets lie as far as 1,400 miles (2,250km) from Israel; the outer limits of their bombers’ range, even with aerial refuelling. An open corridor across northern Saudi Arabia would significantly shorten the distance. An airstrike would involve multiple waves of bombers, possibly crossing Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Aircraft attacking Bushehr, on the Gulf coast, could swing beneath Kuwait to strike from the southwest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passing over Iraq would require at least tacit agreement to the raid from Washington. So far, the Obama Administration has refused to give its approval as it pursues a diplomatic solution to curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Military analysts say Israel has held back only because of this failure to secure consensus from America and Arab states. Military analysts doubt that an airstrike alone would be sufficient to knock out the key nuclear facilities, which are heavily fortified and deep underground or within mountains. However, if the latest sanctions prove ineffective the pressure from the Israelis on Washington to approve military action will intensify. Iran vowed to continue enriching uranium after the UN Security Council imposed its toughest sanctions yet in an effort to halt the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme, which Tehran claims is intended for civil energy purposes only. President Ahmadinejad has described the UN resolution as “a used handkerchief, which should be thrown in the dustbin”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli officials refused to comment yesterday on details for a raid on Iran, which the Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has refused to rule out. Questioned on the option of a Saudi flight path for Israeli bombers, Aharaon Zeevi Farkash, who headed military intelligence until 2006 and has been involved in war games simulating a strike on Iran, said: “I know that Saudi Arabia is even more afraid than Israel of an Iranian nuclear capacity.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007 Israel was reported to have used Turkish air space to attack a suspected nuclear reactor being built by Iran’s main regional ally, Syria. Although Turkey publicly protested against the “violation” of its air space, it is thought to have turned a blind eye in what many saw as a dry run for a strike on Iran’s far more substantial — and better-defended — nuclear sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli intelligence experts say that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are at least as worried as themselves and the West about an Iranian nuclear arsenal.Israel has sent missile-class warships and at least one submarine capable of launching a nuclear warhead through the Suez Canal for deployment in the Red Sea within the past year, as both a warning to Iran and in anticipation of a possible strike. Israeli newspapers reported last year that high-ranking officials, including the former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, have met their Saudi Arabian counterparts to discuss the Iranian issue. It was also reported that Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad, met Saudi intelligence officials last year to gain assurances that Riyadh would turn a blind eye to Israeli jets violating Saudi airspace during the bombing run. Both governments have denied the reports.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-7492918561555788778?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/7492918561555788778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-world-may-change-moment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/7492918561555788778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/7492918561555788778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-world-may-change-moment.html' title='Our World May Change At Any Moment!'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-2257930454288206939</id><published>2010-05-07T21:46:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-05-07T21:46:53.545-05:00</updated><title type='text'>When?</title><content type='html'>With all that is going on in the world today, one might just ask, when?

There were countless theories as to why Knapp checked out, including the possibility of illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the one that raised the most ruckus among her die-hard fans was the one which proved to be true: Jennifer Knapp is gay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week Knapp burst back onto the music scene with news of a comeback and a coming out. Her new album will be released in May, and she has revealed that she has been in a same-sex relationship for the past eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The revelation rocked the Christian music scene, where Knapp was a darling of fans and critics before her self-imposed exile. The intensely private singer said she's not at all surprised by the shock waves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm aware that the evangelical community has problems with divorce and many other facets of their artists, let alone homosexuality," Knapp said. "I really felt a strong obligation to be able to address that because for many people, it was really clear that they wouldn't participate in buying a record because it was against their beliefs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For many people who buy Christian music or have been familiar with me and my writings as a person of faith, I felt like it was the honest thing to do," she added. "The last thing I wanted to do was to have someone go out and buy a record and feel like they had been hoodwinked."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knapp is not the first artist to find fame in the genre before revealing their sexuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, Christian singer/songwriter Ray Boltz came out as a gay man after a 20-year career in the industry. In 2009, gospel star Tonex went public with his homosexuality as a guest on "The Lexi Show," a popular program on the Christian channel The Word Network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lexi, who is also a gospel music artist, said that while many in the Christian music industry are aware of who is gay, "we don't talk about it, because that's the unspoken rule."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lexi said she doubts most fans will ever fully embrace an openly gay artist, but she points to other artists who have been able to straddle the line between secular music and songs of faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think some Christians will totally avoid [Knapp] and say that she is the devil and all that, but there are some that are more open who will embrace her new material," Lexi said. "Then she will find a new audience."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark Moring, senior associate editor for Christianity Today, was one of the first to write about Knapp's revelation and said it has been extremely polarizing among his publication's audience. People have vacillated between anger that Christianity Today would even write the story and praise for Knapp's honesty, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are people who will always love Jennifer Knapp, no matter what decisions she may make," Moring said. "I think the word that I've read the most often [among those commenting on the Christianity Today web site] is 'sad' as in 'I'm sad that she has made this choice, but I still love her music.' I think that has been a recurrent theme."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev. DL Foster is the founder of the Gay Christian Movement Watch Web site and said he believes as society has become more accepting of homosexuality, Knapp and other artists are finding it easier to go public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For a person to try and combine [being gay and being a Christian music artist] is not biblically correct, and I would hope that the church would reject such music because it does not represent us," he said. "To me, it doesn't matter if you are openly gay or closeted gay, sin is still sin."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knapp is very clear that she is not marketing herself as a Christian artist, a term with which she said she has never been comfortable. She's no longer on a Christian-based record label, and her new album of folksy rock songs is described as being about "inner-conflicts, spirituality and life lessons."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knapp quit the industry and moved to Australia, she said, because she was simply exhausted by all the performing and unprepared for the challenges being a music star brought her way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said she began writing music again in earnest two years ago and the music, as well as the decision to go public with her sexuality, all happened "organically." Knapp said she is no longer afraid of her gifts as a musician and now realizes that who she is as a private person can remain intact even as she shares herself with the world through her music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was tired of not writing because I was afraid of what other people were going to think of me," she said. "So for me it was a really healing process."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knapp said she realizes that some fans will now view her earlier work with lyrics about inner turmoil as evidence of the struggle between her beliefs and her sexuality. But she says she has always struggled as a person of faith to be the person she wants to be, and her sexuality was only a part of that, she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God has always known she would walk this path, Knapp said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I would rather be judged before God as being an honest human being," she said. "If I am in any way unpleasing in his sight, I can only hope and pray that he gives me the opportunity to find who I am supposed to be."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most telling clue to where Jennifer Knapp finds herself in life after so many years is contained in the title of her new album. It's called "Letting Go."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-1727229568142345945?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/1727229568142345945/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1727229568142345945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1727229568142345945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me.html' title='YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-6635589385397393825</id><published>2010-04-03T18:31:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T18:31:49.765-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Moon and the Biblical New Year</title><content type='html'>A very good friend of mine wrote this artical......it is very good. If you would like a copy of this, e-mail me an I will put you in touch with it's author.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be Blessed!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book of Enoch reveals many of key factors regarding the new moon and the calendar year.  These are essential in determining the Passover and thus the remaining feasts YHWH has instructed us to keep.  Combining Enoch’s words with scientific data, the new year can be determined.  &lt;br /&gt;Before you respond in your mind and say “Enoch isn’t Scripture” you should realize that our Messiah, Jude, James, and Peter either directly quoted from it or issued statements that had direct parallels to the Book of Enoch.  The Catholics didn’t canonize it, but that certainly does not mean it isn’t inspired scripture.  We have more than two reliable witnesses in our scriptures that believed it was inspired without any contradictions.  Information about these can be found following the conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;The New Moon&lt;br /&gt;There are currently two views as to what the new moon is.  Many say the crescent moon, while others say the conjunction.  After diligent searching, prayer, and the leading of the Father, we’ve found that it is indeed the crescent moon.  The following details such proof as found in the book of Enoch.  Let’s look at Enoch chapter 73.&lt;br /&gt;73:4   It the moon rises in this manner: Its head faces the easterly direction, coming out on the thirtieth day, on that day, that is, on the thirtieth day, it comes into existence, and it appears with the sun in the gate through which the sun exits; and you have the beginning of the month.&lt;br /&gt;73:5   Considering half of it to be divisible into seven parts, the whole disk of it is without light, with the exception of one-seventh part of the fourteenth part of the light of the sun, one seventh of its half light.&lt;br /&gt;73:6   On the day when it receives one-seventh part of its one half, as the sun sets, it becomes equivalent to one-seventh light of one half of it.&lt;br /&gt;73:7   Then when the sun rises, the moon rises together with it, taking a portion of one half of its light; that night the moon, just beginning its monthly journey on its first lunar day, sets with the sun and becomes dark, in respect to its thirteen parts that night. On that day it rises and shines with exactly one-seventh part of its semicircle.&lt;br /&gt;If the new moon was on the conjunction, it would say when the light disappears, or something similar.  Instead it says the first lunar day of the month is when the light shines with exactly one-seventh part of its semicircle, or as we know as the crescent new moon.  For another witness in the book of Enoch, let’s consider chapter 78.&lt;br /&gt;78:5   The moon comes in and goes out by the western openings, and circles via the northeast and rises through the eastern openings upon the face of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;78:6   When the moon begins its cycle, it appears in the sky one half of a seventh part; it will become fully illumined from the fourteenth day;&lt;br /&gt;78:7   it completes its illumination the fifteenth, becoming fulfilled according to the sign of the year and becoming fifteen parts. Thus the moon waxes in fifteen parts.&lt;br /&gt;78:8   In its waning, the moon decreases on the first day to fourteen parts of its light; on the second day, it decreases to thirteen parts of light; on the third, to twelve parts; on the fourth, to eleven parts; on the fifth, to ten parts; on the sixth, to nine parts; on the seventh, to eight parts; on the eighth, to seven parts; on the ninth, to six parts; on the tenth, to five parts; on the eleventh, to four parts; on the twelfth, to three parts; on the thirteenth, to one half of the preceding; on the fourteenth, all its light decreases to one half of one seventh; and on the fifteenth, all the remaining light disappears.&lt;br /&gt;Notice it says that when the moon begins its cycle it appears as one half of a seventh part, fully illuminated (full moon) after the fourteenth day, and after another fifteen days the remaining light disappears.  A month is typically 30 days, so the beginning is marked by the crescent moon, middle by the full moon, and the month ends with the conjunction.&lt;br /&gt;Want yet another witness?  Take a look at verse 12 of the same chapter.&lt;br /&gt;78:11   During all the seasons when the moon is made to run its cycle, the light is being beamed into it the moon facing the sun until the illumination of the moon is completed in the course of fourteen days; and when it is lit completely, it radiates light in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;78:12   On the first day, it is called the new moon because on that day the illumination begins to set upon it.&lt;br /&gt;78:13   These illuminations are completed with exactitude on the day when the sun descends into the west, and the moon simultaneously rises in the east in the evening, shining during the night until the sun rises opposite it, and it is over against the sun.&lt;br /&gt;78:14   From the same side where light entered the moon, from there also it gradually wanes until all the illumination disappears and the days of the moon expire, its disk empty without light.&lt;br /&gt;How can we say the conjunction is the new moon when this clearly states that a new moon is when illumination begins to set upon it?  Clearly the new moon is the crescent moon.&lt;br /&gt;The Biblical Calendar and New Year&lt;br /&gt;We all know that our current calendar is not based on the Father’s revelations.  However, to determine Passover, we need to have the knowledge He imparted long ago.  Through Enoch, He revealed the amazing and perfect calendar marked by the coming and going of the luminary bodies.  Genesis chapter 1 states that He gave them to us as signs for the seasons and years.&lt;br /&gt;Gen 1:14  And Elohim said, “Let lights come to be in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and appointed times, and for days and years, &lt;br /&gt;Gen 1:15  and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it came to be so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enoch was shown information that recent scientists have patted themselves on the back for, thinking they’d found a breakthrough in science.  Without going in to too much detail about that, we need to know when the new year begins.  Let’s consider Enoch chapter 72 for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;72:1   The Book of the Itinerary of the Luminaries of Heaven: the position of each and every one, in respect to their ranks, in respect to their authorities, and in respect to their seasons; each one according to their names and their places of origin and according to their months, which Uriel, the kodesh malak who was with me, and who also is their guide, showed me -just as he showed me all their treatises and the nature of the years of the world unto eternity, till the new creation which abides forever is created.&lt;br /&gt;72:2   This is the first commandment of the luminaries: The sun is a luminary whose egress is an opening of heaven, which is located in the direction of the east, and whose ingress is another opening of heaven, located in the west.&lt;br /&gt;72:3   I saw six openings through which the sun rises and six openings through which it sets. The moon also rises and sets through the same openings, and they are guided by the stars; together with those whom they lead, they are six in the east and six; in the west heaven. All of them, are arranged one after another in a constant order. There are many windows both to the left and the right of these openings.&lt;br /&gt;72:4   First, there goes out the great light whose name is the sun; its roundness is like the roundness of the sky; and it is totally filled with light and heat.&lt;br /&gt;72:5   The chariot on which it ascends is driven by the blowing wind. The sun sets in the sky in the west and returns by the northeast in order to go to the east; it is guided so that it shall reach the eastern gate and shine in the face of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;72:6   In this manner it rises in the first month through the major gate; it proceeds through this gate which is the fourth among those six openings which are located in the direction of the east.&lt;br /&gt;72:7   By this fourth gate through which the sun rises during the first month there are twelve open windows from which a flame flows, when they are opened at the appropriate time.&lt;br /&gt;72:8   When the sun rises in the east in the sky, it goes out through this fourth gate for thirty mornings and descends faithfully through the fourth gate in the western sky.&lt;br /&gt;72:9   During those thirty days the day daily becomes longer and the night nightly shorter, for thirty days.&lt;br /&gt;72:10   On that day, the day is longer than the night by one ninth; so the day turns out to be exactly ten parts and the night to be eight parts.   &lt;br /&gt;72:11   The sun rises from that fourth eastern gate and sets in the fourth western one, and then it turns and comes into the fifth gate of the east for thirty days, through which it rises, and sets in the fifth gate.&lt;br /&gt;72:12   At that time the day further becomes longer and becomes eleven parts and the night shortens and becomes seven parts on account of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;72:13   It then returns to the east and comes into the sixth gate, rising and setting through that sixth gate for thirty one days, according to the principle of the gate.&lt;br /&gt;72:14   On that day the day becomes longer than the night still further; so the day becomes twelve parts and the night shortens and becomes six parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:15   Then the sun is raised in such a way that its duration shortens and night occurs; the sun returns to the east and enters the sixth gate, rising and setting through it for thirty days.&lt;br /&gt;72:16   When thirty days are completed, the day decreases exactly by one part, and becomes eleven parts, and the night seven.&lt;br /&gt;72:17   Then the sun, leaving the west by that sixth gate and going to the east, rises through the fifth gate for thirty mornings and sets again in the fifth gate in the west.&lt;br /&gt;72:18   On that day the day decreases by two parts; so the day becomes ten parts and the night eight parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:19   Then the sun, departing from that fifth gate and setting in the fifth gate, in the west, rises in the fourth gate for thirty one days according to the principle of the gate, and sets in  the west.&lt;br /&gt;72:20   On that day the day is aligned with the night, so that they become equal; so the night becomes nine parts and the day nine parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:21   Then the sun, departing from that gate and setting in the west, returns to the east and comes out through the third gate for thirty days, and sets in the third gate in the west.&lt;br /&gt;72:22   On that day the night becomes longer than the day; it becomes longer than the previous night and the day becomes shorter than the previous day, for thirty days; so the night turns out to be exactly ten parts and the day to be eight parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:23   Then the sun, departing from that third gate in the west and returning to the east, comes out through the second gate in the east for thirty days, and in the same manner it sets through the second gate in the western sky.&lt;br /&gt;72:24   On that day the night becomes eleven parts and the day seven parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:25   Then the sun, departing on that day from that second gate and setting in the west in the second gate, returns to the east and rises in the first gate for thirty one days, and sets on that day in the western sky.&lt;br /&gt;72:26   On that day the night lengthens and becomes twelve parts, whereas the day shortens and becomes six parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:27   Thus the sun completes its appearances, and goes through those same cycles of appearances a second time, coming out through all the openings for thirty days and setting also in the west opposite to it.&lt;br /&gt;72:28   On that night the length of the night decreases by one ninth; so the night becomes eleven parts and the day seven parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:29   Then the sun, returning and entering the second gate which is in the east, resumes its appearances for thirty mornings, rising and setting as usual.&lt;br /&gt;72:30   On that day the night becomes shorter, so the night becomes ten parts and the day eight parts.&lt;br /&gt;72:31   On that day the sun, departing from this second gate and setting in the west, returns to the east and rises through the third gate for thirty one days, and sets in the western sky.&lt;br /&gt;72:32   On that day the night shortens and becomes nine parts and the day nine parts. Then the night becomes equal with the day, and the days of the year add up to exactly three hundred sixty four days.&lt;br /&gt;72:33   The lengths of the day and the night as well as the shortness of the day and the night, are determined by the course of the circuit of the sun, and distinguished by it.&lt;br /&gt;72:34   The circuit becomes longer or shorter day by day and night by night respectively.&lt;br /&gt;72:35   Thus this is the order for the course of the movement and the settlement of the sun -that great luminary which is called the sun, for the duration of the years of the universe -in respect to its going in and coming out.&lt;br /&gt;72:36   It is that very luminary which manifests itself in its appearance as YAHWEH has commanded that it shall come out and go in, in this manner.&lt;br /&gt;72:37   And neither does it diminish in respect to its brightness nor take rest but continue to run day and night. As for the intensity of its light, it is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; nevertheless, the sun and the moon are equal in regard to their respective sizes.&lt;br /&gt;We see in verse 6 that the first month enters through the fourth gate.  Now, when is that?  The following chart summarizes the information contained in the previous verses to give a clearer understanding of what was said.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So we can see without much difficulty that the end of the year is marked by a time when the day and night are equal in time.  The vernal or spring equinox marks the end of the year, and beginning of the new.  Now, we know that it must be springtime in the new year as we see from reading Exodus 9:31, the barley was in the ear during the plague of hail.  Also, Enoch 82:16 shows us how the first season of the year comes after the winter.&lt;br /&gt;82:9   These are the orders of the stars which set in their respective places, seasons, festivals, and months.&lt;br /&gt;82:10   And these are the names of those which lead the ones that come out and go down in their appointed seasons, which lead them in their respective places, orders, times, months, authorities, and locations.&lt;br /&gt;82:11   The four leaders which distinguish the four seasons of the year enter first; after them enter the twelve leaders of the orders which distinguish the months; and the three hundred and sixty captains which divide the days and the four epagomenal days, and leaders which divide the four seasons of the year.&lt;br /&gt;82:12   These captains over thousands are added between leader and leader, each behind a place to stand; but their leaders make the division.&lt;br /&gt;82:13   And these are the names of the leaders which divide the four seasons of the years which are fixed: Malki'el, Hela'emmemelek, Milay'ul, and Narel.&lt;br /&gt;82:14   The names of those who lead them are 'Adnar'ul, 'Iyasus'el, 'Elum'el -these three follow the leaders of the orders, as well as the four which follow after the three leaders of the orders, which follow after those leaders of the stations that divide the four seasons of the year.&lt;br /&gt;82:15   At the very beginning, Malkiyal, whose name is called Tam'ayen -and the sun rises and rules; and all the days of his authority -during which he reigns -are ninety one days.&lt;br /&gt;82:16   And these are the signs of the days which become manifest during the period of his authority: sweat, heat, and dryness; all the trees bear fruit and leaves grow on all trees; there will be good harvest, rose flowers, and all the flowers which grow in the field; but the winter tree shall wither.&lt;br /&gt;The only season and time of year that trees begin to grow leaves and fruit, is in the spring.  This year, 2010, we were told that the equinox was March 20.  However, we can see by the information on timeanddate.com that the true equinox was around the 16th or 17th.  Below are tables showing data for Wichita, Kansas and Jerusalem.  (The tables were constructed with information directly from their website).  Examine the Wichita data first.  Notice how the length of day for the 20th is 12 hours and 8 minutes – how can that be the true equinox?  Look at the data for the 16th and 17th.  With each day showing nearly 12 hour long days, the equinox occurs somewhere around these two days.  Compare the data from Wichita to that of Jerusalem.  How amazing is it that the 16th is 11 hours and 59 minutes while the 17th is 12 hours and 1 minute.  Obviously, between these two days is the true equinox.  How perfect and beautiful is this?!  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now, we know from above that the new moon is the crescent and the first new moon of the year takes place after the equinox, so the new moon should be seen around the 16th or 17th.  From information gathered on the internet, for this example we used www.paleotimes.org (the specific information is listed on http://www.paleotimes.org/whatsNew/2010/mar_17_2010.htm), we know when the new moon was sighted.  Of course, you could have found it for yourself.  Nonetheless, across North America the new moon was sighted on March 16, 2010 (around sunset, of course), thus Passover should be the 30th (beginning sundown the 29th), with the memorial observed after sundown on the 30th, which also marks the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened bread.&lt;br /&gt;For additional evidence, regarding the crescent moon sighting, lets consider a few more details.  Remember back to Enoch 73:7.&lt;br /&gt;73:7   Then when the sun rises, the moon rises together with it, taking a portion of one half of its light; that night the moon, just beginning its monthly journey on its first lunar day, sets with the sun and becomes dark, in respect to its thirteen parts that night. On that day it rises and shines with exactly one-seventh part of its semicircle.&lt;br /&gt;One seventh of fifty percent (or 1/14, whichever way you look at it) is 0.071429.  With a margin for human error in our calculations, and for argument’s sake, let’s just say it’s close to 1%.  Look at the table below, also compiled from information on timeanddate.com.   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In Kansas on the 16th, the moon was illuminated 1.00%!  In Jerusalem, it appears as though the new moon could have been seen, but faintly on the 16th, however, it’s documented to have been widely sighted on the 17th.&lt;br /&gt;Realizing this is a large amount of information to digest at one time, it’s still evident that everything that was revealed to Enoch to determine the new moon and first month of the year comes together beautifully.  &lt;br /&gt;Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;Now that we’ve reviewed this plethora of information, let’s boil it down.  The new year begins at the equinox, with the new crescent moon.  Which happen to fall perfectly together at the spring/vernal equinox.  This marks the first day of the month, so simply count fourteen days, and you’ve found the date for Passover.  (Of course, remember that the biblical day begins at sundown the evening before).&lt;br /&gt;One More Thing…&lt;br /&gt;Let’s remember back to Enoch 72:32 for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;72:32   On that day the night shortens and becomes nine parts and the day nine parts. Then the night becomes equal with the day, and the days of the year add up to exactly three hundred sixty four days.&lt;br /&gt;There is no need for a leap year or an added month every now and then.  Each year is perfect in its coming and going, and thus we can figure the year with little difficulty.&lt;br /&gt;A parting thought from Enoch chapter 82.&lt;br /&gt;82:4   Blessed are all the righteous ones; blessed are those who walk in the street of righteousness and have no sin like the sinners in the computation of the days in which the sun goes its course in the sky. It the sun comes in through a door and rises for thirty days together with the chiefs of the thousands of the orders of the stars, together with the four which are added to determine the intervals within the year, that is, the intervals between the four seasons of the year; those that lead them along come in on four days.&lt;br /&gt;82:5   On this account there are people that err; they count them the four? in the computation of the year: for the people make error and do not recognize them accurately; for they belong to the reckoning of the year.&lt;br /&gt;82:6   Truly, they are recorded forever: one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth. The year is completed in three hundred and sixty four days.&lt;br /&gt;82:7   True is the matter of the exact computation of that which has been recorded; for Uriel, whom YAHWEH of all the creation of the world has ordered for me in order to explain the host of heaven, has revealed to me and breathed over me concerning the luminaries, the months, the festivals, the years, and the days.&lt;br /&gt;82:8   HE has the power in the heaven, both day and night so that HE may cause the light to shine over the people; sun, moon, and stars, and all the principalities of the heaven which revolve in their respective circuits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you find this information useful, and may YHWH bless you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-6635589385397393825?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/6635589385397393825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-moon-and-biblical-new-year.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/6635589385397393825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/6635589385397393825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-moon-and-biblical-new-year.html' title='The New Moon and the Biblical New Year'/><author><name>The Bornhoft's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02411795873653291700</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6vF4VMouZQ4/TsNARu5hGzI/AAAAAAAAAD4/djbtAD1FzTg/s220/AbiYAH_Selah.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1351854619381160254.post-1629009875434987677</id><published>2010-03-20T10:41:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-21T11:13:16.833-05:00</updated><title type='text'>ABIB  VS.

I discuss the biblical evidence for the role of the Aviv barley in the Biblical calendar at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib.shtml&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people object that the true indicator for the beginning of the Biblical year should not be the Aviv barley but the Vernal Equinox, the day which marks the beginning of Spring. They base this on an anachronism in their interpretation of the biblical Hebrew word Tekufah ("circuit"). An anachronism is erroneously placing something from a later time period into an earlier one. For example, speaking about telephones in ancient Rome is an anachronism. Interpreting the Biblical Hebrew word "Tekufah" as meaning "equinox", a meaning it never had in Tanakh times, is an anachronism. I won't go into too much detail here about the word Tekufah as I have done so in the past. For more information on this topic please see:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.karaite- korner.org/ abib_faq. shtml&lt;br /&gt;http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib_and_tekufah.shtml&lt;br /&gt;http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/karaite_ korner_news/ message/220&lt;br /&gt;http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/karaite_ korner_news/ message/124&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I want to point out another anachronism in the application of the vernal equinox by those who claim it has a role in the Biblical calendar. Specifically I want to ask the question: If we are really required to use the vernal equinox for the biblical calendar, then which equinox? The problem is that there was no reliable way to calculate the timing of the Vernal Equinox in antiquity. Today modern astronomers have worked out with a high degree of accuracy the exact timing of the Vernal Equinox. The prerequisite for determining the true equinox was discovering the exact length of the solar year. According to modern astronomers a solar year is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 46 seconds and this year the equinox falls out on March 21, 2010. Easy, right? Not so fast. The true value of the solar year was not known until modern times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear not, say advocates of the equinox, Moses had secret astronomical knowledge learned at the court of Pharoah. This secret knowledge supposedly included the exact calculation to work out the true timing of the Vernal Equinox. If Moses had this secret knowledge it was unfortunately unknown to later Jews. The early Rabbis mention the Vernal Equinox but they did not have a way of reliably calculating it because they did not know the true length of the solar year. There were actually two contradictory opinions about the length of the solar year and both were wrong. According to Rabbi Samuel the solar year was 365 days 6 hours whereas Rabbi Ada reckoned the solar year to be 365 days 5 hours 55 minutes 25.4 seconds. The difference between these two values may sound trivial but they result in the Vernal Equinox falling out on different days, neither of which is the correct day! For example, this year the Equinox of Samuel falls out on April 8, 2010 whereas the Equinox of Ada is March 28, 2010. As already mentioned, the true Vernal Equinox is March 21, 2010 - 7 days before the Equinox of Ada and 18 days before the Equinox of Samuel. Which one of these three values did Moses supposedly use: the Equinox of Ada, the Equinox of Samuel, or the true astronomical value only worked out in modern times? If this knowledge was known to Moses then why was it unknown to every other ancient civilization including the Jews? Did God really intend for us to wait for the advent of modern astronomy to know the true timing of the biblical feasts? Or did he set out a simple system that ancient Israelite farmers could easily follow by looking at their crops as they grew in the fields? It seems to me this is what the Creator was talking about when he said: "Observe the Month of the Aviv" in Deuteronomy 16:1. No need for secret astronomical knowledge; just a simple way to track the solar cycle relevant to an ancient farming society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a side note, the Vernal Equinox is generally calculated today as a moment in time not as a day. This year the Vernal Equinox was March 20 at 7:32pm Israel time. In the Hebrew reckoning, the day begins at sunset and this was well after sunset presumably making March 21 the day of the Vernal Equinox. But not so fast with this either! The ancients defined the equinox as the day on which daytime and nighttime were of equal length as we can see from the following quotation from the Jerusalem Talmud (Berachot 2c 1:1): "On both the Vernal Equinox and Autumnal Equinox the day and the night are equal". So when would that be for observers in the Land of Israel, March 20 or 21 this year? Considering that they did not have accurate clocks in ancient times, this would be no small feat to figure out, which is why both Samuel and Ada got it wrong. If you look at TimeAndDate. com for the day on which the daytime and nighttime are equal in Jerusalem you get a surprising result: March 16 or 17! On March 16 there was 11h 59m 12s of daytime and on March 17 there was 12h 01m 09s. So is the "Biblical" equinox March 16 or 17 based on day lengths in Jerusalem? Or March 21 as if Moses lived at the equator? Or March 28 or April 8 based on the ancient values of the year? &lt;br /&gt;Check the Jerusalem day lengths in March 2010 for yourself:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.timeandd ate.com/worldclo ck/astronomy. html?n=110&amp; month=3&amp;year= 2010&amp;obj= sun&amp;afl=- 11&amp;day=1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nehemia Gordon&lt;br /&gt;Jerusalem, Israel&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1351854619381160254-1629009875434987677?l=iamyahweh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/feeds/1629009875434987677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/03/abib-vs-vernal-equinox-you-decide.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1629009875434987677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1351854619381160254/posts/default/1629009875434987677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iamyahweh.blogspot.com/2010/03/abib-vs-vernal-equinox-you-decide.html' title='ABIB  VS.

Is this honoring a resurrected Savior- or is this resurrected mystery worship. Here are some hare-raising facts about the Easter bunny, eggs, and many of the other trappings that go with a great counterfeit celebration supposedly honoring the Savior’s death and resurrection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Most people are born into their beliefs and rarely question what they have been taught from childhood. Societal traditions themselves have a powerful pull on what the majority of people do—with the force of religious passion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    If the tradition is to watch football on Monday nights, attend Fourth of July parades, or exchange Xmas presents, that is what the majority will do. If we teach our children from infancy to look for colored eggs on Easter Sunday morning, that is what they will grow up doing and teach to their own children as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In addition to the secular traditions of Easter unquestionably practiced in society at large, Easter is also an orthodox belief accepted automatically by the religious sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    This observance is one of the holiest days of the year in Christianity. Few Christians will doubt its authenticity. So let’s ask the critical question: is Easter Biblical? Is it a holiday that should be observed by a True Believer?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Easter is made to appear Scriptural in a very clever way, but when one searches into the literal and spiritual truth of the matter one finds that Easter has nothing to do with the true Messiah. Any related religious connotations are found outside the Bible and are unscriptural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    These statements may seem like blasphemy to today’s Christian, but if he truly has his heart set on proving his beliefs right out of the Bible, then he will find the ensuing study to be true. This treatise is prepared for those who are willing to prove all things, accept the truth, turn from falsehood and deceit, and hold fast to that which is true and good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The World Book Encyclopedia under "Easter" says, "Easter is a Christian festival that celebrates the resurrection of J-sus Christ. It is the most important holy day of the Christian religion. People attend churches and take part in religious ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "In most countries, Easter comes in early spring, at a time when green grass and warm sunshine begin to push aside the ice and snow of winter. Its name may have come from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring, or from the Teutonic festival spring, Eostar [pronounced ‘Easter’].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "Christians everywhere celebrate Easter with great rejoicing. In many areas, children collect candy and chocolate bunnies, and hunt colorful Easter eggs. Many persons wear new spring clothes to church on Easter."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easter: a.k.a. Ishtar, Astarte&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Let us first focus on the name "Easter." Where does it come from and what does it mean? You may be surprised to learn that many customs associated with the Easter celebration had been observed by pagans centuries before the Savior came to earth and was put to death, to rise three days later. The worship of pagan deities continued within Christianity, but with a new meaning and a different interpretation—thus making it more palatable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In The Roots of English, A Reader’s Handbook of Word Origins, by Robert Clainborne, we find that Easter means "to shine, whence Germanic East (where the dawn light shines from), and also Austron, the Germanic goddess of dawn; she was worshiped at the spring equinox—now the Easter season. (The first Christian Missionaries in England shrewdly combined their celebration of the Resurrection with the older, pagan festival.)" (p. 55).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Nelson’s Illustrated Bible Dictionary has this to say: "Easter was originally a pagan festival honoring Eostre, a Teutonic (Germanic) goddess of light and spring. At the time of the vernal equinox (the day in the spring when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are of equal length), sacrifices were offered in her honor. As early as the eighth century the name was used to designate the annual Christian celebration of the resurrection of Chr-st" (p.317).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In The Two Babylon's, Alexander Hislop says that Easter is "Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven." Her name appears on the Assyrian monuments as Ishtar, which carries the same pronunciations as that of Easter in today’s language, (Section II, "Easter," p. 103).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Ishtar was a goddess of Babylon whose consort was Tammuz. She was known in various other nations as Asherah of the Canaanites whose consort was Baal; Isis of Egypt whose consort was Osiris; Aphrodite of Greece whose consort was Adonis, and Venus in Rome whose consort was Mars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    All of these goddesses were goddesses of fertility, fecundity, love, and sensual pleasure. Ishtar was served in her temples by prostitutes with immoral rites performed by bands of men and women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Provocative Queen of Heaven&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Easter or Ishtar is also known as the Queen of Heaven. What does Yahweh say concerning this Queen of Heaven?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "See you not what they do in cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other elohim, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? Says Yahweh: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore, thus says Yahweh El, Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched," Jeremiah 7:17-20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Yahweh was so greatly angered by the people’s service to the Queen of Heaven that He overthrew them, carrying many of the survivors into Babylon .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Some of the survivors escaped to the land of Egypt where they continued in their practice of worshiping the "Queen of Heaven." He inspired the prophet Jeremiah to warn the people away from such practices, but the people adamantly refused, saying,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "As for the word that you have spoken unto us in the name of Yahweh, we will not hearken unto you. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goes forth out of your own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we ceased to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our husbands? Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying, The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Yahweh remember them, and came it not into his mind? So Yahweh could no longer bear, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an horror, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Yahweh, and have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore, this evil happened unto you, as at his day," Jeremiah 44:16-23.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Jeremiah went on to prophesy that all those in Egypt who had burned incense to the Queen of Heaven would be destroyed along with the Egyptians when the Babylonians invaded that country. Only a small remnant of that group ever survived to return to the land of Israel .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The worship of the Queen of Heaven brought terrible disaster and destruction to those of Judaea and Egypt . This is a warning to us today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The worship of Ishtar (Easter) and Tammuz is none other than sun, nature, and earth worship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tammuz, the Resurrected Son&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Tammuz was a consort of the Queen of Heaven. Who was Tammuz? The Encyclopedia Britannica, Fourteenth Edition, has this to say about Tammuz: "A Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian god, who died and rose annually with dying and reviving vegetation, originally Dumuzi, ‘the son who rises, goes forth (from the nether world),’ but generally interpreted ‘faithful son.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "…he represents the mystery of life and death, as seen in the withering vegetation of the hot Mesopotamian summer, and the rapid renewal of its life at the season of the spring rains… .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "There is a strange inconsistency in the hymns of the wailings concerning the relaxation of the mother goddess to her lover, Tammuz. In the early Sumerian texts she (Ishtar) is his sister, but soon the Semitic view that she is his mother prevails. The two theories appear inconsistently together throughout the entire history of the cult. He is, however, invariably the husband and lover of the otherwise consistently described virgin goddess of love, Innini (Ishtar), Gestinanna, Belitseri (queen of the field of the lower world), and the cult is particularly associated with the great city Erech [built by Nimrod, Gen. 10:10], home of the cult of Anu, the heaven god, and Innini (Ishtar).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "In astrology Tammuz was identified with Aries; in the magic rituals he is symbolized by a white kid, and he is also connected with the ram, which led to this astral identification. Under the title Sibzianna, ‘faithful shepherd of heaven,’ he was identified with Orion. During the period of the deified king worship in the Dungi period of Ur, and in the time of the Isin dynasty, the deified kings habitually identified themselves with Tammuz and were worshipped as husbands of the mother goddess….He was held to be a god of healing, bestower of health, and one who, like all other deities, had power over the demons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    "It is obvious that a cult which is based upon the death and resurrection of a propitiating god, and upon the love of a divine mother who wails for her son, has direct connection with the facts and the theological views based upon them, which gave birth to Christianity. But the form occult which apparently most directly affected the origins of Christianity is that in which Marduk of Babylon was identified with Tammuz. At the Nisan or new year festival at Babylon, Bel (Marduk) was said to have been imprisoned in the lower world, and the priestess weeps at his sepulchre. A malefactor was slain with Bel and they descend together to the land of darkness. Beltis, his wife, descends to hell to seek him, and Bel’s garments are given Ishtar (mother of Tammuz). Bel was laid in a sepulchre, from which he soon comes forth. This Marduk transformation of the national Tammuz cult is only another effort of the priesthood of the capital to enlarge the worship and importance of the local cult…That the cult had direct influence upon the ORIGINS OF CHRISTIANITY cannot be denied, and the Greek cult of Adonis owes its essential content to the Sumerian Tammuz." (vol. 21, pp. 776-777).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahweh Condemns Worship of Tammuz, Ishtar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Yahweh took the prophet Ezekiel in the land of Babylon where he had been taken captive, in vision to the land of Judah to witness what was going on in the temple among the priesthood and the men and women who were worshiping there. Ezekiel was shown the image of jealousy in 8:5 and he was then taken into a room where there were images of every form of creeping thing, while abominable creatures were depicted on the walls all around (vv. 6-10).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Seventy men of the ancients of Israel were burning incense to the images (v. 11). Then Yahweh said to Ezekiel, "Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? For they say, Yahweh sees us not; Yahweh has forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn yet again, and you shall see GREATER ABOMINATIONS that they do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yahweh’s house, which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz," vv. 12-13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Israelite women were weeping for the Assyrian, Sumerian, Babylonian deity of vegetation which was a great abomination to Yahweh. Hislop identifies this period of weeping with the 40 days of the Lenten season, a time of mourning and fasting for the dead or dying god Tammuz (pp. 104-106). It was the forerunner of today’s 40-day Lenten season observed prior to Easter. Easter ends the period of fasting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Tammuz is identified with Marduk by the Encyclopedia Britannica. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (Revi
