This life may change but it can never be destroyed, and though the change from one form of existence into another is called Death; this never means that death finally ends life, or even that it adds to life, or takes away from it. It merely transfers the life from one form of existence to another. A thing that disappears from our sight has not thereby ceased to exist. It reappears, but in another form and state.  Read more…

Great is Our Father who gives His children such beautiful and wonderful gifts within His creation. He gives His people the love of their family, children, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers and so much more. There is nothing that humankind can do to ever pay for the gifts that the Creator bestows upon His children. How could anyone ever fathom the gift of life that the Son of God gave unto those who serve Him and truly love Him wholeheartedly? It is impossible, but what a child of God can do is bring to mind, on a regular basis, these gifts and meditate on them, and show our appreciation and thankfulness for all that He does within our lives.  Read more….

There is only one source of Life – an Infinite and Almighty Life, whose creative power gave life to all living things. All creatures live in Him and in Him will they remain forever. Again, this Life created innumerable other lives, different in kind, and in the stages of their progress man is one of these, created in Alaha’s (God’s) own image that he might ever remain happy in His holy Presence.

Time for mankind as we know it is drawing quickly to a conclusion before Yeshua’s return. When that day comes time will have run out for all those who live in their own little religious dream world, a world that goes by its own version of God’s Word and not according to God’s Pure Teaching. Who resides in this dream world? Most of your religious institutions, their deceived membership, cults and of course those who think they are gods and do not even acknowledge the existence of God.

I ask you the following questions:

To My lost, storm tossed one:

Nothing comes by chance. Everything I designed was created for a reason and a specific purpose. All that I intended for that creation, was placed within that design. All that was given of Myself into that creation, was given freely, and expressed through the life or function of that creation. That is why man is without excuse. Everything that is made, reveals Me within it. There is nothing made that is not without My Witness or Person expressed within it. I AM the Creator, by which all things are made, or will be.

Atheism is a religion with a doctrine stating that nothing exists but natural phenomena (matter), that thought is a property or function of matter, and that death irreversibly and totally terminates individual organic units. This definition means that there are no forces, phenomena, or entities which exist outside of or apart from physical nature, or which transcend nature, or are “super” natural, nor can there be. According to the godless religion of atheism, humankind is on its own.

How sad! The miraculous workings of the human body reduced to simply being called an “organic unit”.

You feel you have the world by the tail. Everything is going great, you have a great job and you have a beautiful place to live, a nice car and great looking clothes. You have lots of friends that you are constantly doing things with. You may even have a spouse and kids that love you very much. You wake up every morning ready to face the day.

Then one day your boss asked you to come into his office. He tells you that they are down sizing the company and your job is being eliminated. You go home that evening and when you open the door you are greeted with water from a water pipe that burst while you were gone. The next morning you get up after a very restless night’s sleep and you get in your car and it will not start. “And the beat goes on” as some would say.

There are many who approach the Throne of God as if they are driving up to an order window of a fast food restaurant. They think they can stop to place their blessings order at the “Blessings4U” drive thru order station. Then after placing their order, drive around to the pickup window where God will reach out His Hand and give out His blessings according to what they ordered. Quick, fast and easy and then they drive off until the next time they need to place an order for more blessings. No obligation, commitment or sacrifice, just supply and demand, they demand and God supplies. It is time this world needs to wake up because that is not the way things work.

There is a great deal riding the capacity of Believers to be following the Narrow Path by the time of the return of Messiah.

The greatest travesty for the greater percentage of this world, is that most people believe, who even concede a Supreme Being, themselves to somehow be in these good graces just by virtue of the fact that they acknowledge the Creator at all.

This is a first step but it is far from the full journey.

For those born into the Jewish Faith, the path spelled out in the Gospels, teaches a Torah Observant life. But more than this, a life devoted to the heart of Torah. This is the Torah of Moses, sealed in the Blood of the Lamb.

While this is a valid path for many in the world, considering the greater percentage of people do not come from a Jewish background, a path was required that could take any person, no matter who they were or where they were from and bring them into the fold of Messiah and prepare them for His return.

St. James, the Teacher of Righteousness and leader of the Apostolic community penned a letter, the official Letter of St. James to the Gentiles. In this letter, James lays out what every person, no matter what their background, must do in order to have a place with Yeshua upon His return.

You listen to the news on television, read local newspapers or look at the headlines posted on the Internet and hear how the economy is failing with the stock market dropping in record numbers, retail sales way down, industries closing their doors resulting in thousands of people unemployed and food prices climbing. You also hear about increases in violence and robberies locally and around the world. In summary this country and the world is in a big mess.

So what does a person do? Does he join the world and put your faith in the campaign promises of political candidates or a specific government and the financial bail outs they come up with? Do you sit around worrying while trying to figure out some answers to keep your head above water?

If your faith is in what man can do for you then do not plan on seeing any real solutions come your way.

So what’s the answer?  Continue reading

God makes His people like a master over the evil ones and even over the evil one you shall be a master; for when you speak the words of the Truth of God from His Holy Book, should they reject the words, their nostrils shall burn and their tongue shall stick to the roof of their mouths and no water will be found to quench their thirst, and their entrails will melt like the wax of a candle. But those who listen and hear the words of the Holy Book, He shall show mercy and He will make His face to shine upon them and Holy Spirit, your mother, shall be with them and they will be ministered to by divine beings [angels, heavenly beings] and their hearts shall be strengthened and they will come to know the true God and His Way.  – Book of Presence

If a man came up to you that you had never seen before and asked you “are you ready”, what would you say?

Ready for what? What are you talking about mister? I do not even know you so why are you asking me that question… get lost. Or would you simply walk off and ignore the man? You might even walk off and call the police on your cell phone to report that a man was harassing you.

If you were a businessperson you would ask the man to write his proposal down on paper and submit it to you for review sometime in the future when you have the time.

Now what if in your prayer time Yeshua (Jesus) asked you “are you ready”? What would be your response?

One of the greatest gifts that you can offer yourself and to the world is that of removing expectation. Let me explain: Everyday of your life, you live with expectations: What we expect from others, what we expect from the world, what we expect from ourselves and what we expect from God.

The funny thing about an expectation is that there is no guarantee that what we expect will happen at all! You may expect it to be sunny, and it may rain; you may expect it to be cold outside and it may be a day of sweltering heat; you may expect to go to the market to buy mangoes and they may be out; you may expect to come home to a full house of people and you may find that you are alone.

“There are two ways, one of life and one of death; but there is certainly a great difference between these two ways.”

This is pretty straightforward: Each person in life has a choice to make, a journey to the Eternal Light of God, or away from that light. No one is static. They are either heading in one direction or the other.

The text makes it clear that you cannot be going to both locations simultaneously. There is a choice each person makes and the evidence of this choice is manifested in the lives of the seeker: a way of light is comprised of one type of conduct and nature, the way of death is comprised of an opposing type of conduct and nature.

It’s fascinating how after only a few years of being married, a couple can sometimes communicate with a very small number of words. Husbands, if you will, imagine this scene. You’ve been invited to a party, and after spending the day working out in the yard, you dash into the house and get cleaned up. You go to your closet, but you suddenly realize that you’re not quite sure about what sort of dress is appropriate for this function. You’re not sure if it’s completely casual, or if it’s a little dressier affair and you need to wear slacks and a sport coat. But you find an outfit that you think will work, and you put in on, and comb your hair, get the car keys and go out to the living room, where your wife is waiting.

How often do you stop all that you are doing and talk to God? Do you even think it is worth your time to do so? If you pray do you believe God is listening?

Most of you have a very hectic lifestyle. From the moment you wake up you never stop rushing around. You complete one task and you immediately start on the next. Some of you even try to balance several tasks at the same time. When it comes time for a meal perhaps you eat so fast that your taste buds don’t even have a chance to acknowledge what is going down your throat. Many of you have a cell phone in one hand talking to someone while doing something else with your other hand which is probably unrelated to the conversation you’re having on the phone. I believe some of you call that “multi-tasking.” When you get home and finally go to bed maybe you even dream about work.

You walked away. I didn’t. I am always with you. I have never left you or forsaken you. I wait for you each moment, to come to Me, and to spend time with Me, but you are too busy, too distracted, too worried, too tired, too angry, too frustrated, too embattled, too scheduled up to take time to seek Me. You don’t want My Input, or you would come and ask Me. You want your way. That is why nothing changes. – God

In 1958 there was a popular song being sung entitled “Love Makes the World Go ‘Round”. If that song was rewritten based on today’s lifestyle it would have to be titled “Greed Makes the World Go ‘Round”.

If you open your newspaper or watch the news on television what are the top news stories? War, political corruption, corporate scandals, financial crisis, increased crime rates – to name just a few. What is the common factor with all that I mentioned above? GREED.

What about your lifestyle? Is it all about what you can gain in life? In your discussions with others, how often are you using the word “I”? Is your life based on what you can achieve for yourself or what you are doing for others? What single word is your life based on – “Love” or “Greed”?

The time has come for you to take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and decide if you like what you’re seeing – not so much on the surface but what is inside of you. What would God’s response be to your goals in life?

“What has caused all of the fighting among you? Is it not from the lusts which war in all of your members? You covet, yet you do not possess anything; you kill, and envy, and yet you still do not obtain anything; you fight against and attack others; and you do not have anything because you do not ask for it. You ask, and yet you do not receive because you ask in such an evil way in order that you attend to your desires.” (James 4:1-3)

Have you ever heard someone ask you “Have you been saved?” What does that mean? Saved from what? The question that should be asked is, do you know who God is and do you know what He requires of His children?

People who are trusting in the golden rule, good works or self-righteousness are following a way “which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). God calls people to Him to do His will. In the Scriptures this is referred to as the Narrow Path.

Because “all of us are like sheep that have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way” and we are in need of turning to God for all of our answers. (Isaiah 53:6).

“Just tell me what you believe so I can tell you why you’re wrong!” You may not have heard these precise words, but I can bet you’ve run into this attitude at some point in your life. Our faith is distinct it is who and what we are. What we live and die for and what we know our ultimate destiny will be if we live in faith to Yeshua (Christ) our Messiah.

It is a mean season right now. Whether what is causing you stress is the economy, or the overall lowered spiritual, moral and ethical behaviour in society, there is more than enough fear to go around.

But is that our lot? Is this where we have to live? In fear and depression? No.

Sometimes, when all around you seems dark and foreboding, that is when you can see that glimmer of hope. The promise of peace and joy that are just off in the distance.

We suffer when we look to the world to define ourselves.

When we pray, are we constantly asking for things? Money, new house, new car, knee replacement, better clothing? Or are we bowing before the Throne of God, giving Him praise and glory, absorbing His Presence and listening to His Voice? Prayer should be “communion with God”. Prayer should not be about requests alone. Requests are fine as long as they are not “demands”. Whether its a human being or a celestial being such as an angel or any other within God’s wondrous creation, we never “demand” God to do anything. How many times have we seen someone in prayer lists or heard someone say something like, “Lord, I need $500 by Tuesday to pay my bills,” or “I expect $300 to be sitting on my front porch by 12 noon on January 5 before the mail runs”?

Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as: Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin. Their leader, Osama Bin Lucifer, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy.

However, there have also been reports of a sixth group. A tiny cell known by the name Bin Prayin is actually the only effective counter force in the church against the terrorists. This group appears to be very weak though. Unlike other counter cell groups, the Bin Prayin team does not blend in with whoever and whatever comes along.

Bin Prayin does whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed that the Bin Prayin cell group has different characteristics than the others. They have Bin Watchin, Bin Waitin, Bin Fastin, and Bin Longin for their Master, Christ to return.

Which cell group do you belong to?

If one spends all his time and energy speculating about the return of Messiah, then he has no time for preparing for that most blessed event in the world; for that man the day of the Lord will come upon him like a thief in the night and he shall be shut out like the unwise virgins who were late in their arrival at the wedding banquet, and Messiah says to him, “I do not know you.”

Speculating on dates, chronology and genealogies does nothing for the good of preparing for the arrival of the King Messiah, but rather, takes ones mind away from the more important matters of Torah and the teaching of Messiah and His Apostles.

How often do you hear something on the news and without doing any research on your own as to the accuracy of what you just heard – you immediately accept it as truth? Is what you believe spiritually based on the same guidelines? Is what you believe spiritually based on what makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

As I was doing some research on the Internet I came across a discussion area that as I read some of the comments participants were making, I was drawn to tears.

Here are some excerpts from a discussion where a person received an email in which a relative was asking for prayer for a loved one who was dieing as a result of a serious heart attack.

You adulterers, do you not know that the love of this world is hostility towards God? Therefore, it stands to reason that you who choose to love this world are an enemy of God. The spirit dwelling in us lusts with envy. But the Lord has given us more grace. God humbles the proud, and gives grace to the meek. “ Epistle of Saint James the Righteous

But you, when you pray, enter into your private room, and close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, you should not be overly talkative, like the pagans; for they hope that by the use of a lot of words they will be heard. Therefore do not be imitating them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
