Hello World:
This is my last post, and the end of any major posting or blogging I have been doing for the time being. Previously, this is one of my longest post, and after reading over this post and thinking hard about it, I decided it is best to edit out, here, all of the paragraphs where I talk about my edits. So I went on and made a SEPERATE post listed before this to discuss the edits. I want to make this closing a little easier to read. As I mentioned in that seperate post, I felt this post needed to be shorter in length to make it better to read, and nothing has changed regarding the core edited information.
Okay, there are several reasons why I am ending major posting and blogging here. I worded the topic as closing post for the time being, because there is the possibility God could lead me to come back and re-open doing posts and say some things. So, in a way, I am ending my blogging/posting, but I could be back. If God wants me to come back and make some major announcement I will be glad to do that.
As I am sort of exiting or tentatively leaving this blog arena, I want to mention to everybody that I had fun here blogging. I did put many, many hours into this blog EACH year, for the past 6 years. I had a near 14-hour day blogging. I had several 6-hour days; many, many 2-hour days blogging, and it was ALL worth it. Despite many things that I had to go through dealing with people, fighting the enemy, Satan or the Devil, and dealing with a busy work schedule, I really tried to give it my best here blogging for God.
I have been working very hard and putting in too many hours working in the secular world for several years, and it has taken a negative toll on me both physically and spiritually, and I am seeking to change and reverse that. I really should be doing work mostly in a Christian ministry somewhere. There were a few ministries that I believe could have called for my services, but they did not; because they wanted me more as just a money friend, and NOT because I can ALSO hear from the Lord. In saying that, that is not for everybody, who gives to help a church or ministry, to use as an excuse to stop or not give.
I am actually hearing from God to help certain ministries on a SPIRITUAL LEVEL, and everybody can NOT claim that. We are still suppose to financially help churches and other ministries as well. It just so happens my attempts to be of help, spiritually, to specific ministries was ignored and blown off by people and leaders in those ministries. However, with God's help, I HAVE FAITH all of that is going to change, and I have already started taking action BY FAITH. By the way, there is much more I can say about all of that.
Continuing on and to EDIT OUT attending some planned church meetings in 2012 because those in particular have been cancelled, I just thought recently, looking at what God enabled me to do, here, with this blog, I could possibly be considered also to be BOTH a 21st or twenty-first century Christian writer AND a major internet Christian writer. If I am that IS okay. One thing, I want to mention about that, though, is that this blogsite should NOT be considered a replacement to the standard King James Bible.
It is NOT my intention to create another Bible, or make my version of the Bible. I can say more about how I disagree with that, seeing how some other ministers are doing that. I do believe, though, that this blogsite can be used in conjunction WITH the King James Bible. I want people to understand that I believe that the standard King James Bible, although it may not be exactly perfect, IS JUST FINE the way it is.
And whenever I say standard King James Bible version, I am talking about the version with the OLD ENGLISH terms, like THOU and THEE, or THOU SHALT, THUS SAITH the Lord and VERILY, VERILY, using capital letters to emphasize, specifically, what I am talking about. There is nothing wrong with those old english terms. Similar to what I said, back in my judging series about the classic Christian music, it DOES NOT need to be replaced or re-translated over and over.
I want to edit in here or clarify what I mean by no need of re-translating. What I mean is re-translating the Bible into other English language versions. However, to translate the standard King James Bible version from English to a DIFFERENT language IS OKAY. Because everybody does not speak the English language. There are many different languages spoken all over the world. So, it is important for someone, who speaks a different language from English, to still get the information from God's word in their own native language, if possible.
Again, what I am talking about not doing is the multiple English re-translations over and over in the same English language, to keep up with or to conform to the current sayings of the time. That should NOT be done. And I could say why, but will not go into the details. Again, the standard King James Bible is a good book just the way it is.
I feel like it was good quality time spent, here blogging, doing something really good and important for God. I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity and using me to blog on His behalf. I could NOT have blogged all of this, without God's help. God surely led me and helped me to blog here.
At the start of the 2011 year, I really did not think that I had a lot to post or talk about. Then God began to lead me to talk about multiple things. I also prayed to God, EARLY IN 2011, about ending blogging/posting, here, at the end of 2011. I asked God if this was okay with Him, that there are other things I would like to get involved with, in Him, and is it the right thing for me to do?
I mentioned before that one of the ways God speaks to me is in dreams. He speaks to me in some other ways too, but by dreams is one way. Also over the years, I have learned to interpret several of my dreams. Well, right after I prayed to God for permission and direction on what to do here, God answered me very quickly. It did not take long. God gave me a FLYING dream. I believe I have talked about having flying dreams before. This flying dream was probably the most profound flying dream I have ever had.
After the dream, the Lord spoke to me, telling me the reason He gave me the flying dream is that He is giving me the freedom to do whatever I want to do in regards to blogging or to stop blogging. The Lord spoke to me similarly before with flying dreams, but again, this was the most profound of my flying dreams. So, God is telling me that He is okay with me to stop blogging.
I may be done here, blogging and or posting for the time being, but I am NOT done working for God and serving in the kingdom of God. And like I said before, as long as the internet is up and Blogger is up and running, this blog should still be here for the Lord, Yahweh, Jehovah, the ONE TRUE GOD, to do God's will; and to help those seeking to know God through His Son, Yahshua, Jesus Christ; so they can make it to Heaven or qualify in the kingdom of God.
My hope also is that this blogsite will open people's eyes to the way this current world system runs or is operated at the published timeframe of this post. I also want to bring awareness to people why it is important and RIGHTEOUS for women to have a choice; and to also speak out against and stop abuses towards women and people, in general, worldwide.
There is more I can post and talk about in the next year, if I wanted to, but I will not. One of the things, I have not really discussed much are conspiracy theories, except in regards to Gaddafi, and Israel, and the six-pointed star. I want people to know that there are some conspiracies, out there, that are true.
Some things are NOT always what they seem or appear to be. There are SOME things that we have been taught or told to believe as being false or fiction, that are ACTUALLY TRUE and FACT. I have solid, undeniable factual, scientific proof of one such thing; speaking here only in general terms. Also, there is a lot of lies and misinformation that is fed to people. There are some people in powerful positions, who are NOT decent people. A lot of problems comes through some of the media organizations and some government agencies who manipulate information to control the masses.
There are several things that I know about, and I know some parties and agencies involved. I have also just recently uncovered some other hidden information. However, I am currently still investigating more. I feel like if I can get enough resources I can get on top of some things and really change things in the world for the better. These things, I am mentioning today, are all reasons why I am ending blogging to, as I mentioned earlier, try to get involved in actually doing some other things.
Seek God, fear God, and believe on the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as our Savior and Lord. Love and treat your neighbors or the next person RIGHTLY, the way you want others to love and treat you RIGHTLY.
I want to leave everybody with these scriptures;
Scripture Reference Acts Chapter 1: Verse 9; "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."
Verse 10; "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel;"
Verse 11; "Which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
So, people, He is coming again! Get ready, because Jesus Christ is coming again! Repent of your sins and believe on and call on Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus Christ is the right way and the right person to go to, for forgiveness and everlasting life. To the ONE TRUE GOD, Yahweh, Jehovah, the I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and Elijah, and the same; from Whom all good things come, be given praise and honor and glory.
Okay, I do not like to say good-bye. Rather than say good-bye, how about I say for those who believe in God and believe in the Son of God, that we will rejoice and celebrate and have fun WITH God in the future established kingdom of God in Christ. That is a very good thing to look forward to. So, I will be seeing you all around, then, at that time, in the kingdom of God. I am Yahweh's Emissary.

Post Edits Taken From Closing Post
Hello World:
This is a post I decided to edit out and seperate from my closing post. All of the edits here are still the same, so nothing has changed in regards to this edited information I mentioned before. After reading my closing post multiple times and thinking about it, I felt the need to seperate my edit information out of the closing post, to shorten the closing for better reading.
To start with the edits again, in my year 2007 Christmas series, in part 6, I made an edit to Cush; or when I was specifically mentioning the person named Cush, who was the evil Nimrod's father. The reason why I made that edit is because there is very little information or the information on the PERSON of Cush is very hard to find and hard to prove from the Bible or researching other historical sources.
On December 12, 2009, my post titled "Israel Or Jews Not Excused", I was led by the Lord, speaking to me to add the scriptures from St. John Chapter 8: Verses 57 to 58; to explain, from Jesus that He is greater than Abraham and IS BEFORE Abraham, or was around before Abraham, and established the promise to Abraham and his seed.
Jesus, in St. John 8:57-58, is showing that promise given to Abraham back in Genesis Chapter 12, comes from the God-Trinity, which includes Jesus Christ as a member thereof; and that the promise given is valid, NOT to a single nation or single race of people, BUT to all those people who believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah or Savior and/or are with Jesus Christ.
In this 2011 year, with my May 21st, 2011 Rapture series; in the seventh portion of that series, the part where I mentioned how the Apostle Paul was the first to bring to light the revelation of the Rapture, I removed the 2 Corinthians 12:2 reference and kept the 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 reference. The reason why I did this, is because Paul wrote the book of 1 Thessalonians first or before 2 Corinthians, and those books in the Bible are not arranged in their proper chronological order.
In my More Blog Announcements post in 2011, I added that when people email me or want to send me information to NOT use attachments in the emails, or that I will not open or accept attachments. I ask that people read further on that to see how they can email me extra information and other things. Because people can, I just ask, again, that it not be done with attachments.
In the World Affairs Iran-Norway post, on this past August 31, 2011, I added information explaining and emphasizing how people OFTEN do die BEFORE their time, which is important to know. People die at times, BEFORE God wants them to die, and they die by ways that God did NOT intend for them. This happens a lot, especially with younger people. So, everytime a person died or dies DOES NOT mean it was their time. To say that, when a person dies that it was their time, EVERYTIME, is making a FALSE statement and assumption.
From time to time, I go through my blogsite and I look over things and make edits to posts or certain areas of the blog. I had to go back, especially recently to correct some words, spellings and add some thoughts in some posts. A lot of my recent posts I did, many of those I did not proof read before publishing, and that is why I go back and make corrections, sometimes. Next up is my tentative closing post in 2011.

Extra Points And Answers To Rapture, Final Judgements Of Judgement Day, Hell And Lake Of Fire
Hello World:
Concerning discussions about hell, the lake of fire is the second, GREATER and WORSER version of hell. Death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. There are people who will go from being in hell, to going into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is also the second death or second and eternal seperation from God, where there is fire and brimestone. After Judgement Day, people who have NOT believed, rejected, rebelled against, blasphemed, and turned away from God and His Son, Jesus Christ will be tormented in the lake of fire, day and night forever and ever.
The beast or antichrist and his partner, the false prophet are so evil, that God is going to make them skip the original
hell, and cast them immediately into the lake of fire or second hell or second death, after they are both killed by God at Armaggedon. The antichrist and false prophet will be in the lake of fire a thousand years before Judgement Day takes place; and even before Satan, the devil himself, is cast into the lake of fire.
Something else I want to mention in here about the Rapture and children. I believe, that babies and many little children who are not at the age of accountability, to understand the difference of right and wrong, will be raptured. I believe this is NOT the case with many teenagers. Good or decent behaving and respectful teenagers will be raptured. However, I want people to understand that I DO NOT know that for sure, and I am NOT saying that as a fact; in regards to children being raptured; but again, based on what I believe.
Now, I also believe that children who are always acting bad, rebellious and talking back to parents will NOT be raptured. Again, good and obedient children are the ones the Lord will take with Him. Again, I am saying that, about the children, based on belief and not fact; but also, because I know the Lord, and doing it that way makes sense. Mean, bad, rebellious, bullies and fouled-mouth adults and children will NOT enter Heaven, NOR be allowed in the future coming eternal kingdom of God. Also, I believe that there are classes for adults and children to be taught up in Heaven.
Another thing I want to mention, suicide is a bad thing, and God does NOT like it, and it should NOT be done. However, again, I BELIEVE, according to what IS NOT in the scriptures or the Bible, it looks as if suicide IS forgiveable by God, even AFTER the person has committed it; DEPENDING on each person's situation. Now, even though I am saying that does NOT mean that I support suicide.
ON A COMPLETELY SEPERATE NOTE, ISLAMIC EXTREMIST-SUICIDE BOMBERS, WHO BLOW UP AND KILL THEMSELVES AND KILL OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD BE JUDGED, HARSHLY, AS VERY BAD, AND GET NO SIMPATHY AND WILL SUFFER IN HELL! SUICIDE BOMBERS ARE IN MAJOR TROUBLE WITH GOD!
Back concerning decent people, why a person kills themselves is hard to judge, and many times SHOULD NOT be judged. Because I, myself, or we do NOT really know what the person has gone through in life.
Yeah, I know the saying, some people would say they would handle it differently. Well, so what! We can NOT feel like that person feels or be that person or be in their shoes, so to speak; UNLESS, God shows us or gives us revelation. God actually showed me someone who committed suicide, and the pain that they and the living relative was going through. I did not know these people, but God allowed me to feel some of what they both felt, and what I was feeling from the living relative was feelings after the one killed themself.
It was something else. Sometimes, I can feel people's internal pain and hurt. Sometimes, I can look at a picture of someone who has died and I can feel how they suffered and felt before. That is why I talk like I do about justice and righteousness for victims of rape and other crimes. Because I can feel what the person is going through, or has gone through. I feel what I am talking about.
I had to pray for the living relative, and that was not all to it; and something happened. God spoke to me that, that person who committed suicide is in heaven. It is a very hard and very sorrowful thing, and again, we can NOT or should NOT speak bad about each person who commits suicide. I do believe, not saying this as fact, but I believe that, those persons if they accepted Jesus Christ are eligible or possible to be in the kingdom of God in eternity. I will return, in just a few days, with my closing post for this blogsite.

Possible Quick Points And Answers About The Rapture, Final Judgements Of Judgement Day, Hell And The Lake Of Fire
Hello World:
Today, I ask that everybody reading this post, to please refer back to the scriptures that I posted in the previous couple of posts. What I have realized with this topic, is that there is much or a large amount of information that I can talk about. There is so much information, until this can go on for a long while. I do not want to do that. I want to come to a close, blogging, in a few days.
Therefore, what I have decided to do is mention, here and in the next post, are quick points and or possible answers about the Rapture, the final judgements on Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire. Even with the quick points, this post is still lengthy. After people read this post, if anyone has other questions about today's topic, they can ask me by email. Allright onto the points and some possible answers to think about.
Again, as I said previously, the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day is a seperate event, and also at a different timeframe from the judgement seat of Christ. Born-again believers in Jesus Christ, who STAYED faithful to God, WILL NOT have to stand before the great white throne of judgement. Everybody else, who have rejected Jesus, rejected God, did evil works and died in their sins will stand to be judged at the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day.
Born-again believers in Jesus, who remained faithful AND true to God, will go before the judgement seat of Christ, which is believed to take place after the Rapture, up in Heaven, while the Great Tribulation period is taking place down on earth. The judgement seat of Christ is an account of Believers works for God to receive rewards, or no rewards. Those believers at the judgement seat of Christ, stay with God in eternity.
Born-again believers WHO FELL AWAY FROM God before the Rapture and were left behind or NOT raptured WILL MISS the judgement seat of Christ and Marriage Supper Of The Lamb events taking place up in Heaven. I want to acknowledge that there are some who believe that everybody, INCLUDING those who gets saved after the Rapture, and during the tribulation period will be at the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb.
However, it appears that from the scriptures, the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb takes place in Heaven, while the tribulation period is still going on or nearing an end on earth. According to that timing of events given by the scriptures, those saved AFTER the Rapture event, who are NOT killed during the tribulation period, again, appears to miss the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb, BECAUSE they are STILL down on earth awaiting the Lord's return to establish God's future millennial kingdom on earth.
If those believers do not get right with God during the tribulation period, their eternal status with God will be in limbo or in danger. This is why people need to pay attention and listen, NOW, when people are telling them things and judging them OF THE LORD. Because, as I have said before, from my research there are pastors, preachers and lay christians in hell, at the time of this post.
Judgement Day or the great white throne of judgement will not happen until AFTER the millenium reign or one-thousand year reign of Christ. So, Judgement Day as of at the time of this post, is actually a long ways off to people. People who did not accept Jesus and are not right with God still go to hell when they die and will be in hell suffering and waiting a long time, by human standards, for Judgement Day.
There is also the potential, according to the way scriptures are written in Revelation Chapter 20, for God to do some things that will surprise people; or God may do some things that has not been taught or talked about, based upon those BOOKS, the BOOK OF LIFE, people's WORKS and JESUS CHRIST.
Something I believe I have not mentioned before, people who have accepted Jesus Christ, LATE, or during the tribulation period and survived the tribulation WILL at least be able to reign with Christ on the earth for those thousand years, according to what it says in Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 4. Those late coming believers, will miss the events in Heaven, but again, be able to reign with Christ on earth in His kingdom.
The religion of Islam or the Muslim religion WILL HAVE NO PLACE in the future and eternal kingdom of God. In fact, I believe the kingdom of God will NOT be based on religion, be it Christianity, Islam or any other religion. The kingdom of God will be based upon those who believed on and accepted and followed the FULLNESS of Christ and did the WILL of HIS Father. That is one of several mistakes with people who serve Islam.
They live for and do things in the name of religion, not in the name of Christ and God. They talk about Allah, but they are always trying to convert people to Islam. You never hear people of Islam or Muslims ask, do you want to have a personal relationship with God. Again, it is more about the religion and duties and works for Islam. True Christians will ask people if they want to know Jesus Christ, know God and or have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God.
So, I ask the question, which is better, having a relationship with God, or having a religion? I say having a relationship with God is best. The religion or religious label is not what gets a person or people in Heaven or in the kingdom of God. God is the God of the believers and followers of Jesus Christ, who has His name written on their heart and who have a personal relationship with Him.
The religion and being religious is a result of or by product and secondary to the relationship. The religion should NOT be first or emphasized more than knowing the Savior, Jesus Christ and knowing the Father, God. Some people may not have enough time left to live to practice the religion, before they die and perish in their sins; so it is therefore, necessary to believe on and accept Jesus Christ and establish a relationship with God first.
Now it just so happens, that those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ are called Christians; and that is fine and okay. HOWEVER, NO WHERE in the scriptures or the Christian Bible, does God, the Father Himself, or Jesus Christ, literally call people Christians. Saints of the Old Testament were NOT called Christians. The term Christians was NOT used in the 4 gospels. The disciples of Jesus Christ where FIRST called Christians BY OTHER PEOPLE at a city in Syria, called Antioch, in the book of Acts Chapter 11: Verse 26. It is from that point that Christianity took off as an established religious label by man.
God and Jesus does call believers His people, His elect, His church and Israel, but NOT by any religious terminology in the scriptures. Another thing, Islam is too UNnecessarily violent. ISLAM or the MUSLIM religion is a VERY DARK, BONDAGE-FILLED, ANTI-WOMEN, DECEPTIVE, AND MURDEROUS RELIGION.
You do not know if some of them, in Islam, are going to stab you or not. You do not know if one of them sitting next to you is about to blow himself and you up or not. They make their women be all covered up and mess with veils over their face, walking around looking suspicious. Not to mention some of them covered up, can easily be men in disguise if they want to do something.
They are so radical, that I believe it is risky being around persons of such an extremely radical and highly deadly religion; and not knowing what they are thinking, what they are hiding on their person, and if they have any weapons or bombs or chemicals on them, and whether or not they are going to use those weapons on you.
Saying that is NOT to be hateful towards Muslims or the people of Islam, but IT IS A FACT, based upon how people within that religion make the news headlines IN A VERY BAD WAY, you have to watch your back and head and other body parts around them. The images of Islam look bad. Not to say that we should or should not market religion, but Islam is NOT even a good religion to market.
Their main marketing tools are fear, killing, death. It is NOT God's presence, NOT God's love, NOT God's mercy, NOT God's power and NO friendship with God. Islam also offers NO guarantee of salvation; and they have NO miracles, NO healings and NO fun. They seem to only offer fear, killing and death by the hands and weapons of madmen within the religion.
Islam has had too many followers with guns firing bullets, exploding bombs, ripping apart and blowing up people, with human body parts and guts blown all over the place, with lots of blood splattered and spilled out in various places throughout the world. Based on the continuous headlines showing MUCH DEATH and carnage, again, Islam does NOT look good at all, LITERALLY speaking.
Who, in their right mind, would want to be a part of that? I would NOT want to be a part of that kind of religion. Anyone, who is smart, would NOT want to be a part of that religion. Again, speaking on love, there appears to be, specifically, NO love from the followers of Islam, for people inside or outside Islam. Love is a BIG part of the nature of God or who God is, and Islam DOES NOT have that kind of love.
Any and all religious groups and people that rejects and demotes Jesus Christ from being God, the Son of God and RISEN Savior, and who kills IN THE NAME OF RELIGION, LIKE ISLAM, is NOT linked to the TRUE God at all; will, again, have NO PART in the coming kingdom of God, AND will be cast into various eternal torments in hell. I will return in 5 days to post more points and answers on this topic concerning the Rapture, judgements of Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire.
Today, I ask that everybody reading this post, to please refer back to the scriptures that I posted in the previous couple of posts. What I have realized with this topic, is that there is much or a large amount of information that I can talk about. There is so much information, until this can go on for a long while. I do not want to do that. I want to come to a close, blogging, in a few days.
Therefore, what I have decided to do is mention, here and in the next post, are quick points and or possible answers about the Rapture, the final judgements on Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire. Even with the quick points, this post is still lengthy. After people read this post, if anyone has other questions about today's topic, they can ask me by email. Allright onto the points and some possible answers to think about.
Again, as I said previously, the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day is a seperate event, and also at a different timeframe from the judgement seat of Christ. Born-again believers in Jesus Christ, who STAYED faithful to God, WILL NOT have to stand before the great white throne of judgement. Everybody else, who have rejected Jesus, rejected God, did evil works and died in their sins will stand to be judged at the great white throne of judgement on Judgement Day.
Born-again believers in Jesus, who remained faithful AND true to God, will go before the judgement seat of Christ, which is believed to take place after the Rapture, up in Heaven, while the Great Tribulation period is taking place down on earth. The judgement seat of Christ is an account of Believers works for God to receive rewards, or no rewards. Those believers at the judgement seat of Christ, stay with God in eternity.
Born-again believers WHO FELL AWAY FROM God before the Rapture and were left behind or NOT raptured WILL MISS the judgement seat of Christ and Marriage Supper Of The Lamb events taking place up in Heaven. I want to acknowledge that there are some who believe that everybody, INCLUDING those who gets saved after the Rapture, and during the tribulation period will be at the Marriage Supper Of The Lamb.
However, it appears that from the scriptures, the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb takes place in Heaven, while the tribulation period is still going on or nearing an end on earth. According to that timing of events given by the scriptures, those saved AFTER the Rapture event, who are NOT killed during the tribulation period, again, appears to miss the Marriage Supper or Feast of the Lamb, BECAUSE they are STILL down on earth awaiting the Lord's return to establish God's future millennial kingdom on earth.
If those believers do not get right with God during the tribulation period, their eternal status with God will be in limbo or in danger. This is why people need to pay attention and listen, NOW, when people are telling them things and judging them OF THE LORD. Because, as I have said before, from my research there are pastors, preachers and lay christians in hell, at the time of this post.
Judgement Day or the great white throne of judgement will not happen until AFTER the millenium reign or one-thousand year reign of Christ. So, Judgement Day as of at the time of this post, is actually a long ways off to people. People who did not accept Jesus and are not right with God still go to hell when they die and will be in hell suffering and waiting a long time, by human standards, for Judgement Day.
There is also the potential, according to the way scriptures are written in Revelation Chapter 20, for God to do some things that will surprise people; or God may do some things that has not been taught or talked about, based upon those BOOKS, the BOOK OF LIFE, people's WORKS and JESUS CHRIST.
Something I believe I have not mentioned before, people who have accepted Jesus Christ, LATE, or during the tribulation period and survived the tribulation WILL at least be able to reign with Christ on the earth for those thousand years, according to what it says in Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 4. Those late coming believers, will miss the events in Heaven, but again, be able to reign with Christ on earth in His kingdom.
The religion of Islam or the Muslim religion WILL HAVE NO PLACE in the future and eternal kingdom of God. In fact, I believe the kingdom of God will NOT be based on religion, be it Christianity, Islam or any other religion. The kingdom of God will be based upon those who believed on and accepted and followed the FULLNESS of Christ and did the WILL of HIS Father. That is one of several mistakes with people who serve Islam.
They live for and do things in the name of religion, not in the name of Christ and God. They talk about Allah, but they are always trying to convert people to Islam. You never hear people of Islam or Muslims ask, do you want to have a personal relationship with God. Again, it is more about the religion and duties and works for Islam. True Christians will ask people if they want to know Jesus Christ, know God and or have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God.
So, I ask the question, which is better, having a relationship with God, or having a religion? I say having a relationship with God is best. The religion or religious label is not what gets a person or people in Heaven or in the kingdom of God. God is the God of the believers and followers of Jesus Christ, who has His name written on their heart and who have a personal relationship with Him.
The religion and being religious is a result of or by product and secondary to the relationship. The religion should NOT be first or emphasized more than knowing the Savior, Jesus Christ and knowing the Father, God. Some people may not have enough time left to live to practice the religion, before they die and perish in their sins; so it is therefore, necessary to believe on and accept Jesus Christ and establish a relationship with God first.
Now it just so happens, that those who believe in and follow Jesus Christ are called Christians; and that is fine and okay. HOWEVER, NO WHERE in the scriptures or the Christian Bible, does God, the Father Himself, or Jesus Christ, literally call people Christians. Saints of the Old Testament were NOT called Christians. The term Christians was NOT used in the 4 gospels. The disciples of Jesus Christ where FIRST called Christians BY OTHER PEOPLE at a city in Syria, called Antioch, in the book of Acts Chapter 11: Verse 26. It is from that point that Christianity took off as an established religious label by man.
God and Jesus does call believers His people, His elect, His church and Israel, but NOT by any religious terminology in the scriptures. Another thing, Islam is too UNnecessarily violent. ISLAM or the MUSLIM religion is a VERY DARK, BONDAGE-FILLED, ANTI-WOMEN, DECEPTIVE, AND MURDEROUS RELIGION.
You do not know if some of them, in Islam, are going to stab you or not. You do not know if one of them sitting next to you is about to blow himself and you up or not. They make their women be all covered up and mess with veils over their face, walking around looking suspicious. Not to mention some of them covered up, can easily be men in disguise if they want to do something.
They are so radical, that I believe it is risky being around persons of such an extremely radical and highly deadly religion; and not knowing what they are thinking, what they are hiding on their person, and if they have any weapons or bombs or chemicals on them, and whether or not they are going to use those weapons on you.
Saying that is NOT to be hateful towards Muslims or the people of Islam, but IT IS A FACT, based upon how people within that religion make the news headlines IN A VERY BAD WAY, you have to watch your back and head and other body parts around them. The images of Islam look bad. Not to say that we should or should not market religion, but Islam is NOT even a good religion to market.
Their main marketing tools are fear, killing, death. It is NOT God's presence, NOT God's love, NOT God's mercy, NOT God's power and NO friendship with God. Islam also offers NO guarantee of salvation; and they have NO miracles, NO healings and NO fun. They seem to only offer fear, killing and death by the hands and weapons of madmen within the religion.
Islam has had too many followers with guns firing bullets, exploding bombs, ripping apart and blowing up people, with human body parts and guts blown all over the place, with lots of blood splattered and spilled out in various places throughout the world. Based on the continuous headlines showing MUCH DEATH and carnage, again, Islam does NOT look good at all, LITERALLY speaking.
Who, in their right mind, would want to be a part of that? I would NOT want to be a part of that kind of religion. Anyone, who is smart, would NOT want to be a part of that religion. Again, speaking on love, there appears to be, specifically, NO love from the followers of Islam, for people inside or outside Islam. Love is a BIG part of the nature of God or who God is, and Islam DOES NOT have that kind of love.
Any and all religious groups and people that rejects and demotes Jesus Christ from being God, the Son of God and RISEN Savior, and who kills IN THE NAME OF RELIGION, LIKE ISLAM, is NOT linked to the TRUE God at all; will, again, have NO PART in the coming kingdom of God, AND will be cast into various eternal torments in hell. I will return in 5 days to post more points and answers on this topic concerning the Rapture, judgements of Judgement Day, hell and the lake of fire.

Judgement Day, Hell And The Lake Of Fire
Hello World:
Okay I have a lot of scriptures to present today. The scriptures have enough words, to the point that I believe I will have a follow-up post on this subject after this post, to continue to explain what God wants me to say. I also need to repeat again the scriptures from Revelation Chapter 20 on the great white throne of judgement, that referenced a few posts back.
2 Corinthians Chapter 5: Verse 9; "Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him."
Verse 10; "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
St. Luke Chapter 14: Verse 12; "Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee."
13) "But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:"
14) "And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."
15) "And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."
Revelation Chapter 19: Verse 20; "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone."
Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 4; "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their right hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
Verse 10; "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and false prophets are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Verse 11; "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."
12) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
13) "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
14) "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
15) "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
There are several things going on with those above scriptures. The first couple of scriptures above, from 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 mentions or refers to what is called the judgement seat of Christ. The second group of scriptures from St. Luke Chapter 14, God led me to place in here for several reasons. Specifically, at verse 14 of St. Luke, there is a reference to the judgement seat of Christ, when Jesus talks about recompense at the resurrection of the just.
To be recompensed means to be payed or repayed or rewarded for something done previous. Also, those surrounding scriptures, especially at verse 15 of St. Luke, are synonymous to the FUTURE event or celebration of believers with God, up in Heaven, known as the Marriage Supper or Marriage Feast of the Lamb. The supper or feast is a future event, in relation to the time of this post.
In regards to the judgement seat of Christ again, the judgement seat of Christ is a judgement for born-again believers in Christ for their works for God or for their lack of works.
The judgement seat of Christ is not to determine salvation or everlasting life, as the born-again believer already has attained that long before the judgement seat of Christ. As I mentioned in a earlier post, the judgement seat of Christ is a DIFFERENT EVENT AND SEPERATE from the event of the great white throne of judgement. There are, however, some believers who will miss the judgement seat of Christ; and yes, that will be a problem for some believers.
The second groups of scriptures above, from the book of Revelation Chapters 19 and 20, refer to the great white throne of judgement or Judgement Day. So, from here what I want to do is return and mention some quick points about those events in the next post.

Verse 10; "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and false prophets are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Verse 11; "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."
12) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
13) "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

Judgements, Sufferings And Warnings About Hell Continued
Hello World:
In this post, I want to continue to mention some more concerning hell. Before I proceed, I want to say that I know that in several parts of the world, at this time, there are holidays coming up. People want to celebrate and be happy. With that said, I do NOT mean to spoil people's holidays and celebrations by talking about hell so much, during this time of the year. I want people, who are doing the right things, to be happy and encouraged and hopeful.
It is NOT my intention to give people bad and gloomy news during the holidays. I am just being led by God, Himself, to talk about hell and judgements at this time of the year. These posts on hell and the judgement events are actually important warnings of God to inform everybody or to help everybody make an informed decision to make the right choice to avoid hell.
I want to also mention a note, briefly off topic about the standard king James Bible. This passing year of 2011, marks 400 YEARS since the King James Bible was first published, dating back to the year 1611. King James authorized people to start work on the english Bible back in 1604, and between 1604 to 1607 actual physical work with translations on the Bible began. Again though, it was in 1611, that the King James Version was complete and published.
Back on today's topic, last time I mentioned that I needed to talk about a greater and worser place of hell. That place is called the Lake Of Fire. Because of how I needed to edit surrounding posts, I will only introduce the Lake Of Fire by name today, and as the remainder posts continue, I will say more and have scriptures related to the Lake Of Fire.
There are many ways to go to hell. There is only one way to God and Heaven, and that is through Jesus Christ. There is hope and happiness for those who find Jesus Christ. Again, there are many, many things that a person can do that can land them in hell. Throughout this blog, I talk about those things in various examples. One thing for certain, NO ONE can say, that I never talked about hell, because I did.
Scripture Reference St. Matthew Chapter 7: Verse 13; "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat."
Verse 14; "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
Proverb Chapter 14: Verse 12; "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Again, it is actually a good thing, that people are warned and informed about hell, and how bad it is. Also, again, we have good news that we will avoid hell, when we believe on and receive Jesus Christ as the Savior. Jesus Christ is the ONLY TRUE and RIGHT WAY to life, and to avoid death, hell and destruction.

Judgements And Sufferings Of Hell
Hello World:
Today I want to talk about the place called hell. I will not go into each of the three or four terminologes or levels used in scriptures that define hell seperately. Those terms are Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus. What I want to do here is lump all those terms or levels together in describing hell here. Just understand that any and all levels of hell, regardless of what it or they are called is bad news.
I have read several testimonies from people whom God allowed to visit hell and then God brought them back to talk about it. I research those types of testimonies from time to time. Also here, I want to present some scriptures on hell.
Hell is a place of fire, darkness and gnashing of teeth. It is also a place of wailing or much weeping by people who are in hell. They are gnashing or grinding their teeth and are weeping, because they are suffering.
Scripture Reference St. Matthew Chapter 8: Verse 11; "And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of Heaven."
Verse 12; "But the children of the kingdom shall be cast OUT into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
St. Matthew Chapter 13: Verse 41; "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather OUT OF HIS KINGDOM, all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;"
Verse 42; "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Verse 43; "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
St. Matthew Chapter 22: Verse 11; "And when the king came in to see the guest, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:"
Verse 12; "And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless."
Verse 13; "Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Verse 14; "For many are called, but few are chosen."
Okay, there are also more scriptures on hell that I will not go into here. Also, I have read from people's testimonies that hell has compartments, or prison cells or torture chambers; and people, who died in sin without accepting Jesus are being tormented in those cells or chambers. I read a testimony from one person, who described hell as being shaped like a human body, with parts. Basically, hell is a place of tremendous torment.
It is NOT a place to party and have rock concerts. According to multiple testimonies I have read, it stinks really, really, bad in hell. I read in the Bible and from eyewitness testimonies that hell is crowded with people and it is continuously expanding. Another thing, there are various other torments in hell in addition to the fire and heat and the outer darkness. Let me put it this way, nearly WHATEVER type of torments you can imagine, that can happen to a person, with them continuously feeling those torments, it is MORE THAN likely in hell. So, that is a very bad situation for anybody.
Also, there needs to be a cleansing or purging inside the church and kingdom of God and outside. There are people who need to get right with God and serious about living for God. There are people who are in churches, who are mingling with and among God's people, but God does NOT claim them as His, because their heart is NOT right with Him. Even though I am saying some things further below about this, I am leaving out some things I want to say.
You do not make it to Heaven or be with God by hanging out with Godly people. You do NOT have salvation, because you know some church people, or because you are friends with Christians. You are NOT excused from hell because of your associations with people who know God. You, by yourself, have to know and be with God. You receive salvation because you really, really, really, know Jesus as your personal Savior. In other words, you know for sure; and when the King comes up to you, He recognizes you as one of His.
Like I said in a earlier post, people use the saying about coming to church and coming to God, by saying, "come as you are". And I mentioned that you can come as you are, but you do NOT leave the same. You are supposed to be changed in your heart and mind for God. You MUST conform to God and the ways of God.
As, another saying goes, "get with the program". Get with God's program and be right with God and right with other people. Allow Jesus into your heart, to rule your heart; and YOU clean up your act, clean up your walk, change your clothes, and clean up and change your talk.
Also, in terms of hell again, as bad or as horrendous hell is, hell and those suffering in hell, after Judgement Day, will be sent into a greater and worser place of suffering, or an even greater hell that I will mention about in the next post.
Today I want to talk about the place called hell. I will not go into each of the three or four terminologes or levels used in scriptures that define hell seperately.

Also, there needs to be a cleansing or purging inside the church and kingdom of God and outside. There are people who need to get right with God and serious about living for God. There are people who are in churches, who are mingling with and among God's people, but God does NOT claim them as His, because their heart is NOT right with Him. Even though I am saying some things further below about this, I am leaving out some things I want to say.
You do not make it to Heaven or be with God by hanging out with Godly people. You do NOT have salvation, because you know some church people, or because you are friends with Christians. You are NOT excused from hell because of your associations with people who know God. You, by yourself, have to know and be with God. You receive salvation because you really, really, really, know Jesus as your personal Savior. In other words, you know for sure; and when the King comes up to you, He recognizes you as one of His.
Like I said in a earlier post, people use the saying about coming to church and coming to God, by saying, "come as you are". And I mentioned that you can come as you are, but you do NOT leave the same. You are supposed to be changed in your heart and mind for God. You MUST conform to God and the ways of God.
As, another saying goes, "get with the program". Get with God's program and be right with God and right with other people. Allow Jesus into your heart, to rule your heart; and YOU clean up your act, clean up your walk, change your clothes, and clean up and change your talk.
Also, in terms of hell again, as bad or as horrendous hell is, hell and those suffering in hell, after Judgement Day, will be sent into a greater and worser place of suffering, or an even greater hell that I will mention about in the next post.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part N
Hello World:
My last post on this blog, subject to change, will be on Friday, December 30th, 2011. So, that is coming up soon in a few weeks. I just want to remind everybody, again, that I am about to stop blogging, but could come back. This blog will still be up and accessible here for everybody to visit and read or refer to.
I want to connect some points between this post, today, and part L, when I talk about praise and worship. When we praise and worship God, we are supposed to make a big deal or big to-do out of it. We need to be passionate in our heart and from our heart to God. We have to really mean it. We are supposed to give God our best in praise and worship. We are NOT supposed to sell God short in giving Him glory and honor, NOR are we to give Him cheap praise.
There is a time to shout, clap hands and a time to dance, FOR EVERYONE TOGETHER, in the church service sometimes. Also, there are SOME of the songs that supposed to be sung with a little speed, BUT, there are also songs that are sung slow. All the songs are NOT supposed to be so fast until they make more noise but have no meaning, and all the songs are NOT slow either. Praise and worship leaders who are trained and LED by the SPIRIT OF GOD will know how it should be done.
With that said above, there should be no isolated praise and worship, or single person shouting making fleshly noise out of order and tearing up the place during the church service. Everybody, in the church, should be in unison worshipping the Lord. Everybody in the church should be yielded and cooperate in harmony, together, with God's Spirit; and any isolated actions or shouts or loud screams should be the result of God actually or literally touching the individual person; to which, when the person calms down will be given the microphone to tell everybody about it. In other words, if God has not literally did something to you, RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT, SHUT UP WITH ALL THE NOISE AND RACKET, DRAWING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF, OR BE POLITELY ESCORTED OUT, AND IF NECESSARY, THROWN OUT THE CHURCH BY SECURITY.
Some people like to play church, yelling and screaming and clapping louder than everybody else; like that is supposed to prove to somebody that they are saved. Those types of people make more noise than God. You hear them more than you hear God. Again, as I said before, MOST of the time God has not even done anything yet. Wait for God to actually or literally do something. They are just over there in the flesh, acting like a clown. They need to quit jumping ahead of God and trying to steal the service away from God. Even God might be staring at them, sometimes, like they got self-control problems, wishing they would shut up and sit down. Again, as I said before, people need to learn how to reverence God in the church service, especially in praise and worship.
If God wants someone to stand out HE WILL DO IT, NOT YOU. Again, there is a time to cry and shout to the Lord, and as I said make a big deal; but all those things, during the church service, are done with everybody together in decency and in order; by the leading of the Spirit of God, when TANGIBLE or REAL miracles, healings and supernatural acts of God are being manifested, BUT NOT by the flesh.
When we dress for church, we dress for God; and we are supposed to dress our best for God, particularly or specifically on Sundays or the main church service of the week. The other days of church services can be with casual dress, but whenever your church has that main weekly service day, everyone is supposed to be looking their best, as to what they can afford to how God has blessed them.
Especially ministers or preachers; on again, specifically, that main church day of the week, you as a minister, have to have a nice dress suit on, with tie; or if not, you need to have an elaborate or DISTINGUISHED robe or UNIQUE uniform, because you are representing, meeting and honoring the most important person in all existence; the Almighty, Creator-God. You also reverence God by how you dress.
Very important also, every pastor or preacher and teachers in the church need to know about the FULLNESS OF CHRIST, AND HOW TO TEACH AND PREACH ABOUT IT. IT IS ALSO MANDATORY, IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE VISITORS IN YOUR CHURCH, FOR THERE TO BE A CLEAR ALTER CALL FOR PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD AND ACCEPT JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD; IN EACH SERVICE, THROUGH PRAYING THE SINNER'S PRAYER; based upon the scriptures from Romans Chapter 10: Verses 9-10. The alter call is an invitation by asking, and not forcing people. People have to make a choice to ask Jesus to forgive their sins and to come into their heart, so they can live for God.
DO NOT MIX OR CONFUSE GIVING AN ALTER CALL TO COME TO JESUS CHRIST, WITH ANY OTHER PART OF THE CHURCH SERVICE. I am trying to be specific and clear in explaining all of that above. Some other things, is that every church or ministry of God needs to have a missions ministry TO HELP FEED AND PROVIDE OTHER RESOURCES TO THE POOR. The church or ministry can feed and provide for the poor directly OR by linking up with or joining up to help another already established Christian missions organization.
If a church does not teach and preach what is in the standard King James Bible and neglects to teach and preach on the fullness of Christ, then DO NOT attend that church. If a church believes in interfaithism or the combining of religions together, such as Islam and Christianity, or combining Christianity with any other religion, LEAVE THAT CHURCH, OR DO NOT ATTEND THAT CHURCH.
You can try and talk to the pastor and leaders of the church to change to what is right by God, but that may not do any good; because they may not listen and change and do what is right for God. Other religions, including Islam, DO NOT believe in the FULLNESS OF CHRIST. Other religions short-change Jesus Christ and are an insult to God, the Father, because of that. Those things I have said here today are some important reasons why some churches need to be judged.
Churches should not be judged, as being bad, based upon the fact that they take in large sums of money, as long as they use the money the right way. Nor should churches be judged as bad, because they have a large congregation of people in attendance each week; NOR based upon any size of the congregation, except of reasons why a small church is not growing spoken by the Lord to the prophet or person of God's choosing.
If the devil can have his large congregations for sports and entertainment; raking in lots of money; then the church or ministers and preachers can do it too, as long as they follow the way God wants them to do it. Churches are supposed to and should grow and be large or get larger, anyways, at some point, and have outreaches. Church growth and prosperity is a good thing.
It is important to find a good church to attend that covers the things I mentioned above, as an example of believing in and preaching the fullness of Christ. So, I do encourage people to attend a good Bible-believing church and to fellowship with other believers of the faith in Jesus Christ. Some things to keep in mind, God shows up and visits, and touches His people at home, and He ALSO shows up and visits, and touches people in church too. So, if you or anyone is wondering what or where is a good place to find God or meet God, a Bible-believing Christian church IS one of the best places to run to and meet God. I will be back soon.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part M
Hello World:
The reason I have criticized preachers who are not right, and corrected the one preacher face to face, is for multiple reasons. Some of those reasons I have pointed out in earlier posts. You can not do whatever you want to do, and hurt people and disobey God and say, do not judge, that it is okay. It is NOT okay.
You can not rape someone, and say not to judge them. The person who committed the rape did some harm to another person and that is wrong, and something needs to be said and done about that NOW.
Another thing going back to some issues I discusssed about some of these preachers having problems. Again, no one is perfect, but if you have personal issues, you do not have to flaunt it. You do NOT need to flaunt and boldly show off your sin. If you still have a conscience to know what you are doing is wrong, in the fear of God and to NOT make men mock God if they see your behavior, be discreet about it. DO NOT BE SO STUPID AND OPEN IN ATTITUDE ABOUT YOUR SIN, because God will become more angry with you.
I mentioned that I have read testimonies of people who have died and come back. Many of them either went to heaven or hell or both. Some people may not have died but still met or was visited by God in some way. I have researched this, and there are reports from testimonies of people who God visited and showed them ministers or preachers WHO ARE IN HELL. They did something wrong, changed something, turned against God or did not preach right; and God did not like that.
Those preachers are DOOMED to hell in eternity and will NOT make it to Heaven. In hell, the devil and his demons really torment preachers worse than other people. There is fire, spikes, continuous stabbings, blood squirting out and screams over and over. There are also lay persons, or non preachers who are Christians in hell. There are other people who met Jesus and asked Jesus about the Rapture, and Jesus telling them, REPEATELY, that His church is not ready yet. I read reports of Jesus saying this constantly. Some people have testified seeing Jesus crying profusely because of the problems with the church.
That really bothers me reading about the Lord crying, if that was really the Lord and not the imposter. That is telling. That tells me several things. That tells me there is a major problem or problems somewhere in the Christian church or body of Christ. That some person or people and some things in the church or body of Christ are NOT right, and NOT going the way they should be going according to how God wants; and those people and things NEED TO BE CORRECTED AND STRAIGHTENED OUT!
Here, now, I want to go into more things to judge and correct in the church. People say come to church as you are. However, what they need to add to that is come as you are, but you SHOULD NOT leave as the same person. In other words, once you first come to church, when you leave you are supposed to be a changed person and different from the person you used to be. You DO NOT stay the same as you came. If you come into the church with pierced nose rings, you leave out with NO MORE piercings.
You come into the church with clothes with holes in them, with hip hop street fashion, you leave to go and change to a more moderate look. You come to the church having a foul mouth, you leave to never use foul language again. So, you come into the church one way, but you are supposed to change and be different inside yourself when you leave; that is if you are sincere in your heart to God. People from the world and of the street must conform to the ways of God and how his church looks and behaves, NOT God and the church conforming to you who are of the world and the street. If you truly give your heart to God, you will think different, look different, talk different, and walk different.
Going back to wearing clothing styles in the church, women should definitely look modest and dress modestly IN the church. Outside of the church, I will not say much. Now, readers can refer back to my archives were I talked about how a woman should dress, and I did several posts on high heels, and high heels are okay. Let me also mention that women should look attractive and feel attractive.
Women, you do not have to necessarily look like the blue-bonnette woman either, especially if it is hot outside. Remember her? However, I want to STRESS OR EMPHASIZE, in honor and with respect to God, and to not tempt men to lust after you, INSIDE the church; that it is important for women to NOT show too much, BUT again, dress modestly going to church or in church.
On a seperate note, if a new born-again believer does not have decent dress clothes and shoes to wear to church, then some of the church members should volunteer to help that new believer get SOME decent dress clothes and shoes to wear to church. It is important for church members to do that; to help and embrace new born-again Christians, as now being a part of the body of Christ.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part L
Hello World:
Picking up from last time, in talking about problems with Christian music and songs, and those who produce and sing them; who said we, as Christians were supposed to stop singing the older songs and classics? God did not say stop singing those older songs. It talks about singing a new song in the scriptures, but that does not mean to get rid of the supposedly older Godly music. That means you are to be singing, presently, a new song or a song of a different tune, when or after God changes your life and gives you a new life in Jesus Christ. It is because of the new life in Jesus Christ that your song becomes new, and your speech becomes new also.
That does not mean we have to make up or keep producing new Christian music and songs every year, because again, many of those songs I have heard, produced today and song, are meaningless slop and are not pleasing to God, and are a MAJOR turn-off. Another thing I want to say about that, is that I can tell what is Godly anointed; music and some reasons, not all, but some reasons why I can tell without going into all the details is because God literally did touch my ears and anointed them to hear certain things whether they are of God or not. That actually did happen, and I was not imagining that. Also, on another occassion, I heard music up in Heaven. So, that is how I can tell when I hear Godly music or not.
Most of the Godly music, from years past, is not song in churches, played on Christian radio stations, have been forgotten about and some even out of print, today. Christian producers and singers HAVE NOT been good stewards over the gift of music God gave to them. Truly anointed music of God should NEVER go out of print. Even if it does not continue to sell on the market, all of that music from years back, should still be easily available and accessible, somehow in the Christian arena.
Concerning church choirs, some of the people singing in these church choirs are out of rhythm. Some of the women voices are higher and louder than the rest of the women. When you are in a choir large or small, all the women voices need to be in harmony together. Also, all the men voices need to be in harmony together. In other words, all the men in the choir sing with the same pitch and the women likewise with the women. The sound from the voices of the choir is supposed to be a smooth even wave either high or low, and not one woman singing louder than the rest, drawing attention to herself, letting everybody know that she can sing. We noticed that you can sing. The only exception is for the soloist, or if there is a lead singer.
Another thing I noticed, the smaller the choir the worse the sound gets. There is this one famous minister, who used to go to places and wherever he went, churches, in that town, would get a large choir to practice and be ready to sing in his services. That was a good thing. Now, it looks like he has changed that format and a small choir stays with him, and they appear as if they mean well, but they do not have IT of the Lord. He IS a good minister and IS anointed too, but those people singing with him are not. He needs to go back to the old way, how he coordinated with churches in areas he visits.
There is a couple who is in the music ministry. The wife or woman has a VERY, VERY anointed voice. Her husband DOES NOT. The husband's voice is average at best. THE LORD SHOWED ME that the wife is supposed to sing seperate or solo from the husband. The wife DOES NOT SING SOLO ENOUGH. I was watching her trying to sing with another small singing group of people. When they were singing, I could not hear her. I heard the other singers and they sounded stale.
They had no anointing and were bad. The wife needed to stand out and be the lead singer, and she was not. The wife singing should have been the main attraction, worshipping the Lord, so that the Lord can work through her to minister to people. That did not happen.
The Lord also showed me that the wife's anointing and ministry of song and music has been STUNTED by her husband. In other words, SHE CAN NOT MINISTER PROPERLY FOR THE LORD, BECAUSE THE HUSBAND IS IN THE WAY!!! I am NOT saying they should break up their marriage or get divorced. I am saying from what the Lord showed me about that couple is that the husband needs to step out of the wife's way, when she is ministering in song. Another thing, in order for her to minister properly, not only does the husband need to NOT sing with her, but he also needs to stop getting her pregnant, seemingly almost every year. The wife is getting pregnant TOO much. She was trying to sing one time, looking like Porky.
And I am not saying they can not have kids, but they need to know how to have sex and enjoy sex without getting the wife pregnant every time having 20 babes, figuratively. In these bad economic times, whos' tithes and offering is paying for all those babies? We should be financially supportive to ministers, but ministers need to think, ask God and use wisdom; and use some protection and other IMAGINATIVE WAYS to have sex, WITHOUT burdening the wife.
I know, because the Lord spoke to me about it, and I have had women tell me about the burden of carrying babies and difficulties raising children. I have heard from married and single women who say it is hard. Even though they are a couple, and the husband can still be supportive, they are NOT supposed to minister in song together in terms of singing.
The wife is on a different level of singing, far beyond the husband and most people. Those are some things that I observe and pick up from the Lord, about things going on in the church. I did not expect to say this much. I will return to say much more very soon in part M.

There is this one famous minister, who used to go to places and wherever he went, churches, in that town, would get a large choir to practice and be ready to sing in his services. That was a good thing. Now, it looks like he has changed that format and a small choir stays with him, and they appear as if they mean well, but they do not have IT of the Lord. He IS a good minister and IS anointed too, but those people singing with him are not. He needs to go back to the old way, how he coordinated with churches in areas he visits.
There is a couple who is in the music ministry. The wife or woman has a VERY, VERY anointed voice. Her husband DOES NOT. The husband's voice is average at best. THE LORD SHOWED ME that the wife is supposed to sing seperate or solo from the husband. The wife DOES NOT SING SOLO ENOUGH. I was watching her trying to sing with another small singing group of people. When they were singing, I could not hear her. I heard the other singers and they sounded stale.
They had no anointing and were bad. The wife needed to stand out and be the lead singer, and she was not. The wife singing should have been the main attraction, worshipping the Lord, so that the Lord can work through her to minister to people. That did not happen.
The Lord also showed me that the wife's anointing and ministry of song and music has been STUNTED by her husband. In other words, SHE CAN NOT MINISTER PROPERLY FOR THE LORD, BECAUSE THE HUSBAND IS IN THE WAY!!! I am NOT saying they should break up their marriage or get divorced. I am saying from what the Lord showed me about that couple is that the husband needs to step out of the wife's way, when she is ministering in song. Another thing, in order for her to minister properly, not only does the husband need to NOT sing with her, but he also needs to stop getting her pregnant, seemingly almost every year. The wife is getting pregnant TOO much. She was trying to sing one time, looking like Porky.
And I am not saying they can not have kids, but they need to know how to have sex and enjoy sex without getting the wife pregnant every time having 20 babes, figuratively. In these bad economic times, whos' tithes and offering is paying for all those babies? We should be financially supportive to ministers, but ministers need to think, ask God and use wisdom; and use some protection and other IMAGINATIVE WAYS to have sex, WITHOUT burdening the wife.
I know, because the Lord spoke to me about it, and I have had women tell me about the burden of carrying babies and difficulties raising children. I have heard from married and single women who say it is hard. Even though they are a couple, and the husband can still be supportive, they are NOT supposed to minister in song together in terms of singing.
The wife is on a different level of singing, far beyond the husband and most people. Those are some things that I observe and pick up from the Lord, about things going on in the church. I did not expect to say this much. I will return to say much more very soon in part M.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part K
Hello World:
Again, referring back to what I was saying about preachers and ministers from part i, there are some decent God chosen preachers, or ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ out there. However, I have complained to God, because as I said back in that part i, there are preachers who use God's name and claim to be ordained and used by God who are misrepresenting God in their PUBLIC behavior.
They openly walk around and do and talk like the common sinner, even cursing in conversation. Then there are ministers who do not know God's Word, do not know the ways of God; they have NO LOVE and they do not have God's heart to help people; they are very good at condemning and criticizing people. They seem to have absolutely NO wisdom and NO discernment at all, and can NOT offer wisdom or hope to others who need it; but yet they are given the microphone to speak. That is not right. I told God that is NOT right.
Some of those preachers even come from or out of shady or sinister backgrounds. No person who has a criminal and lascivious background should be ordained to preach or minister, in ANY capacity, BEFORE those who have lived decent or to near clean lives and who are or were virgins for much of their life.
We got these preachers and churches that want to talk and preach about purity and holiness, and then they turn around and give the microphone to someone who just got saved out of prison. They give the microphone to actors and sports athletes who ran the streets. Those people may have a testimony to tell, but They do NOT know anything substantial about God.
Again, they should NOT be preaching and teaching at the alter of God first. If they want to testify, that is different and is a DIFFERENT part of the service. Anybody can testify about the goodness of God and God's deliverance and they should testify, but NOT anybody is CHOSEN OF God to preach and teach and minister in OTHER capacities at HIS ALTER. JESUS SAID IN THE SCRIPTURES, MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN!
Anybody can take the microphone and talk. The question is, did God CHOOSE you to talk for Him, or did you decide, yourself, that you should talk, or someone other than God said you should talk? Use those who are pure, clean and lived innocent lives to be ministers FIRST, but NOT forcing them to. If they have the desire to minister in a certain capacity, again, they should get FIRST CONSIDERATION, after seeking the Lord and getting confirmation of the Lord.
In terms of whether or not they can relate to different groups, because they have not been out in the world doing all that worldly stuff, let me just say to that, WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE RELATING TO GOD, FIRST. Again, a person who has NO tattoos, NEVER did drugs, NEVER smoked, does NOT drink and whom, at least, has not slept around with women or not slept around with men, but has spent years of their life in the church, should be ordained BEFORE those who have tattoos, did the drugs, drinking, sex partners, crime, etc.
I am not saying that people must be perfect, and I am not saying that people who have done the worldly lifestyle can not be a preacher or a minister. If you did the tattoos, drugs, sex partners and you name it, I DO NOT believe that God automatically disqualifies you. You can still be qualified OF God. I am saying though that THERE IS A PROPER ORDER IN WHICH IT SHOULD BE DONE AS TO HOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKED AT AND ORDAINED, AND THE CHURCH HAS BEEN DOING IT OUT OF ORDER. A lot of churches seem to not even have a clue about this, and have ignored the right people. I can talk about this, because I have lived the Godly life, I have spent years in church, and I know what living pure and holy is about. God has shown me these things. So again, I can talk about this.
I need to add in here, something I talked about a few years ago in my archives. In terms of tattoos. If you are going to minister for God, you have to either GET RID of ALL the tattoos, OR find a good way to hide them or conceal them under clothing. God told me to say to everybody that tattoo wearing is NOT His standard or does NOT meet His standards for HIS ministers and preachers.
Another thing that people need to realize, is that BEFORE a person goes to the alter of God, they need to, by themselves, go through a time of sanctification out of reverence to God. That time of sanctifcation varies or is variable or is not exactly a set time depending upon each person's walk with God. A good minimum timeframe example, for sanctification, can be 3 days. 3 days is again, a MINIMUM time to be sanctified. However, depending on the person, some people may need a longer timeframe to be sanctified before ministering.
Moving along in relation, works, or doing things does not save your soul, but what you do, have done or are doing does shows whether you have a heart FOR God, or have a heart for something else or someone else other than God. What you do or how you are living, and how you talk or what comes out of your mouth tells if you are interested in God or not, and whether or not you even fear God. I did not plan on providing scriptures here, but I am led of the Lord to present some.
Scripture reference, St. Mark Chapter 7: Verse 20; "And he said, That which COMETH OUT OF THE MAN, that DEFILETH the man."
Verse 21; "For from within, OUT OF THE HEART OF MEN, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,"
Verse 22; "Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:"
Verse 23; "All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
I mentioned before that the ex-preacher got mad with me and said that I do not know his heart. This is a common excuse given by sinners all the time. Well, I never said I did know his heart. I am just telling him what God showed me. However, God does show me what is in some people's hearts. So, in reality I do know the hearts of some people. A true man of God will know what is in people's hearts when God shows him or her. You say, how do you know. I say two things, I know by the Spirit of God and by those scriptures, from the Word of God, I presented ABOVE from St. Mark Chapter 7.
The true ways of God are being lost in the Christian church. Many churches do NOT teach and preach the Word of God, nor the full gospel of Jesus Christ. The praise and worship part of the service is atrocious, or very bad. Churches do not sing a lot of the older songs that pleases God and are anointed. They sing a lot of new songs, that are giving praise to themselves and not God. Praise and worship is supposed to be about glorifying and honoring God for who He is and what He has done and is doing; NOT about who you are and what you have done.
Some other things on the bad praise and worship, many of the new or younger generation does not know how to praise and worship God. I tried to turn on the radio to listen to some praise and worship, and the Christian stations have these new, younger people on there singing garbage or what equates to slop before the Lord. It sound just that bad. They sing about their struggles and what they are going to do about it. To paraphrase, they sing about how they are coming to God. It is a lot about their lives.
The focus of those songs are on them, and not God. Several of the songs do not even mention God's name or Jesus Christ at all. Sometimes you can not tell if they are singing about their boyfriend or girlfriend, or if they are singing about God. They also, plainly can not sing, and have no rhythm. Christian music genre, today in some places, is often either an ungodly form of rock, hip hop and rap; and is also too fast. That hip-hop wangy, twangy singing does NOT do it for God either.
Those types of songs and singing, I just mentioned above here, do NOT give glory to God, and should not be song on the christian radio stations, nor in the christian church. Many of these younger singers need to be taught and learn how to reverence God in how they carry themselves in singing and dress. They also need to learn how to sanctify themselves, DAYS, before they go onstage to sing. I have much more to present next time.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part J
Hello World:
This post is going to really be something. What I want to do is present here two main sections from my Dake Bible, from Bible scholar Finis Jennings Dake. I am making reference to him, as he defines in two seperate instances what a prophet is or what prophets do. So, I will not use quotation marks. I will omit the scripture references that he uses, EXCEPT for one scripture. There is a few comments I do need to make in relation to Dake's comments. However, in reading what he is saying about prophets, I think it is really good stuff. So, below here, are Dake's defining commentary on a prophet or prophets.
Prophets are those who spoke for God. They were PRIMARILY preachers of righteousness, but SOMETIMES foretold the future. Prophecy was one of the gifts of the Spirit and those who had and exercised this gift were prophets. Directions for the exercise of this gift are found in 1 Cor. 14. The office was next to importance to apostles.
In another section, Dake says, In ancient times prophets were called seers. The Heb, ra'ah means seeing persons; one who perceives mentally the purpose of God. He was also sometimes called chozen, a beholder; one who has visions or supernatural revelations. The Heb. charah is also trans. seer, and means to glow warm; blaze up in anger or zeal; burn; wax hot; be incensed; be wroth. This word suggests that the prophets saw mentally and in visions things that would make them angry; and in the heat of the Spirit that was upon them, they were borne along and moving to declare to Israel her sins and make the people obey God if at all possible.
A prophet was sometimes called the man of God. It was understood that such men always had an extraordinary commission, receiving their messages by direct inspiration and being moved upon and carried along by the Holy Spirit as a leaf is carried along with a strong wind.
Okay again, Dake mentions a lot of scriptures which I had to leave out but the one above. He also mentions some other things, and goes on to list all the prophets in the Bible. Basically, in defining a prophet or prophets, Dake is saying the same things I am saying in this series, in regards to who prophets are and how they are led by God to judge things. One of things I want to point out, is that Dake's definitions of a prophet of God describes me exactly. Because I really know what it feels like to be moved by the spirit, and have dreams and visions about things, and really get fired up by God to say and do things.
A lot of preachers preach that we should not go by feelings, but only by faith. Well that is NOT always the case. Faith pleases God, and faith needs action by the one who has faith. The action in faith, is moving on something with belief or expectation, without feeling or seeing its' manifestation. The scriptures or in the Bible, it says faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen; from Hebrews 11:1.
The Bible also says that without faith it is impossible to please God; from Hebrews 11:6. The scriptures also say that faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. I and we have faith in God, that HE IS, and HE WILL DO great and mighty things, because I and we have heard those things from His word.
Also, by faith Abraham pleased God, and it was accounted unto him for righteousness; from Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6. Also we are saved by faith, and NOT feelings. MOST PEOPLE when they get saved do NOT feel like it. I did NOT feel saved, years back, after I said the sinners prayer. God did do something to me afterwards, but I do not have time to go into what He did at this time.
Even though you do not feel saved or born-again, after you accept Jesus Christ, still be encouraged and know that God has done something good to you and for you, and will continue to. So you want to move in faith. That is good too.
I am ALSO, saying from my experiences that there is a feeling inside, when I am moved by God. If you feel God's presence and his touch that is ALSO good. So, I would also say use faith, feelings and experience. Because FEELING and EXPERIENCING GOD COMES BY FAITH. Feelings and experiences are the results of faith in God that He WILL DO what you, again, believe and expect Him to do. Feelings and experiences are the results of living faith or faith that is alive.
I have FAITH ALL THE TIME that I will FEEL God's presence, God's touch. I have FAITH that God will show up, and that I will EXPERIENCE God!!! So, in reality MINISTERS OR PREACHERS, out there, I always have faith first, before feelings and experience. However, all three are connected. Because when you have faith in God you expect God to do something, that will tangible help or correct your situation. You do NOT have faith in God for Him to do nothing.
Now, some people who may need healing in a area of there body or who may be in a wheelchair, may not feel anything happening, while they are waiting. However, God could still be doing something or wanting to do something, but He is waiting for them to step out in faith to receive their healing BEFORE they actually feel it or see a change or difference. I understand and believe that, and it is important for everyone else to believe that too.
However, If you go day by day, for years and years and you never feel God or know what it is like to feel God's presence and touch, or you go about believing in God and never experience God, then something is wrong with that too. Even the prophet Elijah proved that, and had people see and hear the true God in action, at the sacrifice against the prophets of Baal; from 1 Kings Chapter 18: Verses 17-40. He said you all call on your god and I will call on my God, and let us see who's God is real.
Whose god is sleeping or can not hear and can not answer, and whose God will show up. Go by the leading of God's Spirit. If you feel something, go with it. Again, when you pursue feelings you are also having faith that God is going to do something. We see, feel, hear, taste and smell everybody and everything else around us, even at times when we do not care to; so why is it such a problem to want to feel God and actually feeling God? There is nothing wrong with feeling God. So, again, it depends on the leading of the Spirit of God.
Sometimes I will feel God's presence outside around me, but many times I feel His Spirit inside me moving me to react, when something is not right. There have been times when I would try to refrain, from telling someone something, and I actually felt like I was going to explode. I can tell some examples, but I am trying not to be too much longer. The experience is something else. I do not hurt or be in pain, but I can feel God's Spirit telling me or moving me to go forth. I like it when God does that. When God is moving me or dealing with me in such a way as described above, that is a good thing. I know what that is like, and been there with God.
Several things I do want to mention, going back above, in relation to Dake's comments. He said that prophecy was a gift of the Spirit. I believe that he meant that prophecy is a gift of the Spirit, as in referencing present tense, not past, because the gift of prophecy is still relevant at the time of this post. He also mentions that a prophet is next to importance to an apostle. I just want to say that, that importance is NOT determined by how much of the power of God or closeness to God each has, but in their duties or responsibilities to churches.
And depending on the individual relationship with God and resources available to the individual, those offices can be interchangeable. Paul is an example of that; in that, he was an apostle, prophet and also teacher, and one can even make the case that Paul was also an evangelist, meaning that he held 4 of the 5 offices of the five-fold ministry in the church, aside from the ministry of help and assistant offices. So, again, I think that is good stuff by Dake. More on Judging coming next time.

I like it when God does that. When God is moving me or dealing with me in such a way as described above, that is a good thing. I know what that is like, and been there with God.
Several things I do want to mention, going back above, in relation to Dake's comments. He said that prophecy was a gift of the Spirit. I believe that he meant that prophecy is a gift of the Spirit, as in referencing present tense, not past, because the gift of prophecy is still relevant at the time of this post. He also mentions that a prophet is next to importance to an apostle. I just want to say that, that importance is NOT determined by how much of the power of God or closeness to God each has, but in their duties or responsibilities to churches.
And depending on the individual relationship with God and resources available to the individual, those offices can be interchangeable. Paul is an example of that; in that, he was an apostle, prophet and also teacher, and one can even make the case that Paul was also an evangelist, meaning that he held 4 of the 5 offices of the five-fold ministry in the church, aside from the ministry of help and assistant offices. So, again, I think that is good stuff by Dake. More on Judging coming next time.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part I
Hello World:
Picking up from what I was saying last time about a prophet judging the things of God and what is right and wrong. Again, please look at the recent posts in this series, as I have referenced scriptures in those that are relevant to this post here.
A prophet judges more than he or she prophesies or tell the future or tell of a future event. In fact, a prophet does NOT necessarily prophesy about the future every week, every month or on a specific time-table. A prophet DOES NOT prophesy or have a prophecy to give, about any future anything, just because you tell him or her to prophesy on your television program or meeting. You as a man or woman DOES NOT tell a prophet to prophesy on the spot, NOR at any time. That is called PROPHE-LYING or prophelying.
A TRUE prophet of God does not go around prophelying because someone or some preacher or minister ask them for a prophecy. Maybe the Lord did not tell them anything at that moment, or maybe he told them something not to say. And if the prophet DOES NOT have anything to say or no prophecy to give at that time, then THAT IS OKAY and fine. He or she will tell you when they heard from God, NOT you telling them. So, NO human person dictates when a prophet prophesies. A TRUE prophet will prophesy when God wants him or her to, when the Spirit of God moves them to prophesy, again, NOT anybody else.
Also too, a prophet does not look for people to judge, but looks to hear from God. In other words, a prophet does not walk around always finding faults with people, and does not look to condemn folks over and over. He or she will just speak what the Lord tells him or her to speak. If people are doing the right things as required by God, then there is nothing wrong, and nothing bad or no warning needs to be said.
I want to emphasize here, that a person CAN ALSO JUDGE AND SAY SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON. I, believe in encouraging people too. Giving people confidence that they can do something good. Now again, you do NOT want to lie to the person. You want to tell the truth, especially if they ask you; but you do NOT want to be cruel about it. I believe in helping people get better and become successful in good things. So, judging someone is NOT always bad. You really have to know how to be led by the Spirit of God. Remember what Jesus said about hearing from God and speaking. The prophet hears what God says and speaks what God tells him to speak. God will speak and show things, and only things that are necessary to know, about people to the prophet.
Every church may not have a prophet. That is okay; because God can, temporarily, use some person in the church in the prophetic office. The other offices of the five-fold ministry that I talked about in the last post, can also hear from God and judge things too. With the other offices it is not so much the office as it is the person, as to their spiritual level in God. Again, though, judging the things of God to determine if things are right, or the way God wants things is a main function of the prophet.
Again, God will choose and speak to specific people, and not everybody, but specific people to judge things going on in the world and inside the church. Therefore, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO USE BLANKET STATEMENTS SAYING WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE! It depends on who WE are that is talked about. Because SOME OF WE ARE CHOSEN AND SENT OF GOD!
Also, if you say that no one should judge, then basically, you are saying that people can do absolutely whatever they want to do, without consequences to them and other people. There would be no accountability for nothing and to no one. There would be no right or wrong way to things, just do as you please with anything or anyone. Kill that person, spit on that person, fornicate all over the place, break all the laws and commandments, because laws and commandments would be irrelevant. Go over there and curse out person A, and turn around and stab person B, and take person B's money. Leave your trash or garbage for the next person C to clean up; and shhhhhh don't judge, because the Bible says to judge not that ye be not judged. WRONG!!!!!! Oh, but Paul said, we should not judge one another. WRONG!!!!!!.
So, again, it can be seen just how stupid that sounds, when people say we should not judge. Therefore, A PERSON OR PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUOTE ANY SCRIPTURE, IF THEY ARE DEEP IN SIN, RUNNING THE STREETS WITH PEOPLE WHO STEAL AND BOTHER OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. THEY ARE NOT IN A PRAYER CLOSET SEEKING GOD'S FACE, AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM GOD. SO, SUCH A PERSON OR PEOPLE NEED TO JUST SHUT UP WITH THE SCRIPTURES!!!!!
In regards to the church, there are several problems. There are many preachers who were given the microphone, who SHOULD NOT have it. Also, just because you are or were a celebrity or famous athlete, and have a story of crime and drugs that God has delivered you from DOES NOT mean that you know the things of God and are chosen of God to preach TO THE CHURCH. You can testify about your story, but to preach and teach you must wait in line for God. I will talk about the proper order of things in the church TWO posts from this one, today. Preach to people outside the church or who are not in the church, YES; but again, inside the church to a congregation, NOT so fast.
I have seen several so-called preachers, who have no heart to help people. They are selfish and serve only themselves. They have no wisdom, and continuously make mistakes in their life with their decisions. There was this one guy who said he was a preacher, and I noticed when he went into a room, he would not hold the door open for the next person coming right behind him. He also cheated and took short-cuts at work, and passed off his duties to someone else.
He would take people's things, that the other person was using, without asking permission. He was very rude, selfish and inconsiderate. Jesus said, he that is greatest among you, is servant of all; scripture references, St. Matthew Chapter 20: Verses 26-27; and Chapter 23: Verse 11. However, what I have seen from some preachers is that they do the opposite of what Jesus said. They want everybody to serve them. In the next post, I want to mention some more information in regards to a true prophet and true prophets judging.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part H
Hello World:
Some preachers have said that preachers and Christian believers should not judge another church or what other churches are doing. Now when those preachers said that, they made a blanket general statement. In other words, the way they put it, regardless of whatever the church may be doing right or very wrong, they should not be judged by other believers. I disagree with all of that.
One thing, I want to put in here is that there is something called the Judgement Seat Of Christ. There are scriptures where the Apostle Paul mentions that Christian believers will be judged at the Judgement Seat Of Christ. Now that is very important. I will mention a few things now about the Judgement Seat Of Christ and the great white throne of judgement; and then I will mention them both again later on, as I need to discuss something else about hell. The Judgement Seat Of Christ is actually an event for born-again, raptured believers only.
It is believed that The Judgement Seat Of Christ will take place after the Rapture. It is DIFFERENT from the Great White Throne Of Judgement, which will take place after the millennium or thousand year reign of Christ on earth. I will present scriptures on both judgement events soon.
However, it is important that a FEW CHOSEN men and women OF GOD are sent by God to judge things pertaining to the church, or churches, and things pertaining to all believers in the kingdom of God now. That is not for every believing Christian to do that judging. Every believing Christian who is living righteous DO have authority to judge the unrighteous and the secular society. However, again, pertaining to the church and kingdom of God, God will and HAS CHOSEN A FEW, and given authority to a FEW to judge those things.
Scripture Reference 1 Peter Chapter 4: Verse 17; "For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"
In addition to that above scripture, I ask everybody to refer back to the scriptures from 1 Corinthians Chapter 2: Verses 11 through 16, that I mentioned in a earlier post in this series.
Those scriptures are also relative to what I am saying here today. You can not, or no person can rule out people chosen of God and sent forth to judge things in the church and things outside the church in the secular world.
Several of those chosen and sent of God were called Judges and Prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. Today, they do not have to be, but quite often, especially involving the church they would be or can be considered Prophets. If people say that no one should judge or you can not judge, they are muzzling and eliminating a major part of the five-fold ministry of the church; which is Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors, and Teachers.
Scripture Refrence Ephesians Chapter 4: Verse 11; "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;"
Verse 12; "For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"
I talked about the role and duties of prophets before, and I mentioned that prophets do not only tell or predict or prophesy about the future, like people think or what they have been known to do, but prophets also go about judging all things; especially the things of God. They usually are the ones who fill the role that Paul mentioned in the scripture from 1 Corinthians Chapter 2: Verse 15. That is why I ask everybody to refer back to those scriptures from the recent post.
That is one of the major things that a prophet does. He is constantly being in tuned with the will of God and the spirit of God, and is making sure that the things of God and people of God are in proper order. Prophets are making sure that things are being done right according to how God wants things done. If things are not right, it is up to the prophet, when he or she hears from God on what to say or do, to be obedient to God, and say something or make sure something is done to correct the person or situation. There is more I need to go into, so I will return very soon.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part G
Hello World:
In the previous post, I mentioned I would say more about several preachers behavior, here in this post, that I have observed and from what the Lord showed me. However, instead, I will say more in details about that in another post coming up soon. This is a very important topic series, and I felt led of the Lord to say if you are involved with a Christian church, as a minister, leader or member, you may want to read all these posts in this judging series.
Also, I want to add in here for the record something about the edits I added back in part D. Let me say that in mentioning those three times in the scriptures or Bible where I believe the Apostle Paul was wrong, that is NOT to take away from Paul being a quality, chosen man of God, because he was.
I also believe that the Apostle Paul and Peter and the rest of the Biblical patriarches, prominent Apostles and teachers would agree with me, with what I am saying here in this series. Now, they may not, however, I am VERY confident that, again, they would agree with what I am saying; and that I am in line with the MEANING and SPIRIT of God's word.
Scripture Reference Romans Chapter 2: Verse 1; "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou judgest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same thing."
I want to mention again, that if a person is led to judge or to correct someone, he or she should not be guilty of doing the same thing, or like Jesus said in St. Matthew 7, they must be able to meet that measurement or standard by which they judge the other person. That does not mean that the person judging is perfect. It does mean that God needs to speak through somebody, to get the person's attention before you burn in hell. ALSO even if that person speaking of God is not perfect, God, by speaking to them or showing them things is showing that HE is pleased with their spiritual walk and they are doing something right. He, God, TRUST THEM, more than He trust other people, with information and to speak or to deliver information. So, do NOT kill the messenger of God.
Another excuse that EX-preacher said, when I was talking to him, is that I do not know his heart and you can not judge a person's heart by what they do. That is NOT true. You can know a person's heart; not in your own power, but by the Spirit of God revealing the person's heart and motives to you.
I have heard other people, who are plain sinners, complain about the same thing, that the preacher has no right to speak to them and judge them, because the preacher does not know them. Well, the preacher may not know them, but God knows them, and if God reveals to the preacher what you ate last night, or that you stole from your children back on Thurday evening, then the preacher by the Spirit of God, knows what you did.
If God tells the preacher, just using an example, that you need to love your children, and stop mistreating them or you will die and go to hell tonight, then the preacher then knows that about you. So, the preacher in himself does not know you, but God will show and tell the preacher things about you, and then the preacher will know things about you, about what kind of person you are and your heart. That is very easy for God to do. God will reveal things about you to him, for him to tell you to straighten up, because you think you are getting away with hurting people, but God sees it and you will answer to God to be punished.
1 Corinthians Chapter 2: Verse 11; "For what man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God."
Verse 12; "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."
Verse 13; "Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."
Verse 14; "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
Verse 15; "BUT HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGETH ALL THINGS, YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN."
Verse 16; "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
I want to also present some scriptures here from Ezekiel.
Scripture reference Ezekiel Chapter 3: Verse 15; " Then I came to them of the capitivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days."
Verse 16; "And it came to pass at the end of the seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,"
Verse 17; "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND GIVE THEM WARNING FROM ME!"
Verse 18; "When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
Verse 19; "Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
Verse 20; "Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand."
Verse 21; "Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul."
I want to return and discuss judging churches.

Judge Not That Ye Be Not Judged?-Part F
Hello World:
As I begin today, I want to mention to everybody that I made an edit in part D of this judging series, publish date back on 11-16-2011. The Lord was telling me that some people are wondering what was the third time where I believe Paul was wrong in scriptures, and that I need to mention what it is. So, I was led of Lord to go back and ADD where I believe the THIRD TIME the Apostle Paul was wrong in the scriptures.
Back in that part D, I mentioned there were three times Paul was wrong, but I, originally, did not mention all three. So, after I talked about what Paul said about women there in part D, I mention some of what he said about secular government authority, and I show the scriptures. SOME of the things, Paul said about secular government leaders and rulers I disagree with and believe he was wrong there, EXCEPT for the paying tribute or dues. So, I ask that people may want to go back and look at that. I could have said even more there, but did not because of the length.
Now I want to continue, here today, to mention some things about the so-called preacher that I got into it with. I want to again say that God told me there is nothing wrong with my delivery. The truth hurts, and a person wallowing in sin and is being judged on the spot can not just all of a sudden become spiritual and judge the person tit for tat, or do reverse judging back and forth. This IS NOT a game of I judge you, so now you judge me.
I may not be perfect, but I do not have the beam in my eye. This is about you, today, not me. God sent me to tell you something. So, you have to wait your turn to judge whenever you get yourself right enough to where God really feels like he can trust you to use you. So in other words, if he had something to say of God about me, which he does not, he should have said it at a seperate time.
I want to also point out and every other minister need to read this and beware, that this preacher himself judged the unrighteous and unholy acts of others. He told me stories and experiences about when he was walking right with God how God used him to minister. I used to could talk about the things of God with him, however, I did observe him, being a supposed preacher, to be a little shaky or questionable, by the way he carries himself.
I mentioned that in the previous post. I will say some more about that with other preachers in the next post. However preachers keep reading here. When the tables were turned and now a man of God comes to him, and has a message to judge him, he, Mr. so-called Preacher CAN NOT handle it. It was okay for him to be supposedly led by God to tell people things and correct and judge people, but when it was his turn, because he fell into sin and is now willfully sinning, no one should be led of God to come up to him and correct him??? YES THEY SHOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This man used to talk about God and preaching. He stopped. He all of a sudden began going after woman after woman. He start hanging around non-christians, and cursing in common language. He started coming to me and instead of talking about God, started talking about how his woman can serve him, asking me what do I think about this woman, what should he do with this one and that one, and what would I do; which one would I choose. Several times, he would have a falling out with a girlfriend, then it seems almost like the next week he would get a new one. Any time you are bragging about your MULTIPLE EX-s, or basically, continuous failed relationships, you are the one with the problem, and need to just stay away from women, period.
His girlfriends are not all that either. They do NOT look pretty or sexy. In other words, they are NOT so hot or sexy as to be falling into sin over. Many of them recently have not even been in shape or healthy, NOR look like they were in any gym recently. It seems like he grabs almost anybody if they are available, regardless of how they look. Next thing now, he had several run-ins with the law, because his associates can not keep their hands off of other people's property and he is tagging along with them; instead of being around believers or on his knees praying somewhere.
He has gotten worse and worse, and I am tired of hearing about it from him. That is why the Lord prompted me to talk to him. So if something happens and he misses the Rapture and goes to hell, he can NOT say that I never told him he needs to straighten up and get right with God, or make an attempt in his heart to get right with God.
He talks too much too. I told him about that awhile back. He talks about almost everything that is going on, which is a problem, openly and boldly telling your information to everybody in site. That is major problem.
Some things are best kept secret, and between you and God. Learn how to shut up sometimes and not say anything about your personal issues. Everybody DO NOT need to know all your business. Even if you are a preacher, if you are struggling with something everybody DO NOT need to know all the details and dirt, because church or no church, PEOPLE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.
Too many people, and too many people in a congregation can NOT handle your personal dirt, because their heart may not be right or pure. Some of them may want to further dig your spiritual grave or reputation with God, and capitalize socially and financially on your problems.
Trust only a few wise, praying, pure-hearted persons, who are close to God or people who have visitations from God; or trust no one, but God!!!! If it is best to step down or take a temporary leave then fine. However, if you are a preacher or minister, you are still no good sitting on the sidelines not doing anything. There are too many problems in the world with people who are suffering and who need help. So, it is still important for a minister who may have fallen or is struggling with some issues to contribute or continue to do something for God, and to not neglect God.
