�������������������������������������� Faith The Decisive Weapon |
It has been said: �The third world war will not be won unless...Christian leadership is in the resolute hands of men who have a sense of mission; men who are one hundred percent convinced of the absolute necessity of a victory of Christianity over the children of darkness as the scriptures attest to. The victor in this final struggle will be the people who have returned to Yahweh with all their heart and soul; and who long for His return.�
Men who have followed the instructions given them: �If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.� (2 Chronicles 7:14) Faith will be the decisive weapon in this warfare.
The conflict now going on in the moral and spiritual spheres, as well as in the material and physical, is between the forces of good and evil; the one animated by the Spirit of Yahshua, the other by the philosophy of Antichrist. In connection with this warfare, which Paul so aptly describes in Ephesians 6:12: �For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.� (Ephesians 6:12)
Here Paul reminds us that we are fighting not only flesh and blood men but also the spirit of evil that is in the world, which infects these men and causes them to do the evil that they do. And that it is necessary that a Christian (Israelite) be armed from head to foot, with an armor consisting of both defensive and offensive equipment.
The apostle declares that the defensive equipment includes �the shield of faith,� and that the warrior must also be armed by the �sword of the Spirit which is the word of God,� as well as with an actual sword to smite the enemy. In making this statement that the protagonists on the side of Yahshua must have just as much of a sense of mission as the enemy has; and must be based on the complete and absolute faith in Yahweh.
What is faith? The first verse of the 11th chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews tells us: �Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.�
Moffatt, in his modern translation, puts it: �Faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see.�
The Amplified Bible states: �NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].�
Thus, we have a very explicit definition of what faith actually is. As a matter of fact, it is the assurance of hope. We are all hopeful. As Christians, we have what is called �the blessed hope;� and this hope is not something merely visionary, but something actual and real, and made so by faith. Having faith, we are convinced that the blessed hope is a fact and that it will, in the not-distant future, be experienced. We do not know when, but we are sure of it nevertheless. That is the kind of faith Abraham had, our father, of whom it was said: �Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.� (Romans 4:3)
Chapter 11 of Hebrews is sometimes called �The Westminister Abbey of the Bible,� as it gives the roll of honor of the heroes and heroines of the past, who lived their lives by faith.
For them fath was the absolute convection and assurance of the complete and definite fulfillment of the promises made by Yahweh to their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel, in the terms of the covenant upon which our past, our present and our future have been established.
As the writer in this chapter says, these people did not during their lifetime, nor did their contemporaries and those who followed after them throughout the centuries, experience the fulfillment of their hope. Of them it is said: �These all died in FAITH, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.� (Hebrews 11:13)
Concluding his argument, the writer declares of our progenitors: �These all, having obtained a good report through FAITH, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, and that they without us should not be made perfect.� (Hebrews 11:39-40)
Moffatt puts it this way: �They all won their record for FAITH, but the Promise they did not obtain. God had something better in store for us; he would not have them perfected apart from us.�
In other words, we are the heirs of the faith our forefathers held, the �faith of our fathers� about which we so often sing. We, in our day and generation, are those who will be the recipients of the complete fulfillment of the promises of the covenant, which until now have been recognized as real although perhaps afar off.
Of course we must recognize that fact that the enemy has infiltrated into the seminaries, and other houses of learning; and have placed into the pulpits of America men who are agents for the enemy, dressed in sheep�s clothing. Meaning that they appear to be righteous and God fearing Christians but instead are actually wolves in sheep�s� clothing. �But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.� (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Yahshua said Himself about such men: �Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (Men and women such as; Binny Hinn; Bill Bright; Billy Graham; Brother Stair; David Lankford; Hal Lindsey (Jew); Jack van Impe; James Robison; James Dobson; Jerry Falwell (A so-called Christian Zionist); Jim Bakker (Jew); Jimmy Swaggart; John Hagee; Joyce Meyers; Kenneth Copelan; Kenny� Hagin; Marilyn Hickey; Marlin Maddoux; Mike Evans; Oral Roberts; Pat Robertson; Paul Crouch; Robert Schuler; Dr. Wolf (Jew); David Pilinger; Berst Beach; Rod Parsley; Tom Bambley; James Kennedy; J.W. Williams (nigger), Doug Batchler; Jack Graham; Bill Gather; J.K. Halilton (nigger), Allan Lane, Gilbert Graham, those in the TBL, PTL, 700 Club, Christian Collation and other such organizations; the list could be extended exponentially but these should suffice.� (Matthew 7:15-16)
In Mark we find Yahshua speaking of this type of man and woman: �And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.� (Mark 12:38-40)
The Judeo-Christian clergy in the pulpits of America are false teachers, and are judiazed deceivers.
�WOE BE UNTO THE PASTORS THAT DESTROY AND SCATTER THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE! MINE HEART WITHIN ME IS BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PROPHETS...FOR THE LAND IS FULL OF ADULTERERS...BOTH PROPHET AND PRIEST ARE PROFANE; YEA, IN MY HOUSE HAVE I FOUND THEIR WICKEDNESS...I HAVE SEEN FOLLY IN THE PROPHETS OF SAMARIA; THEY PROPHESIED IN BAAL, AND CAUSED MY PEOPLE ISRAEL TO ERR. I HAVE SEEN ALSO IN THE PROPHETS OF JERUSALEM AN HORRIBLE THING: THEY COMMIT ADULTERY, AND WALK IN LIES: THEY STRENGTHEN ALSO THE HANDS OF EVILDOERS, THAT NONE DOTH RETURN FROM HIS WICKEDNESS: THEY ARE ALL OF THEM UNTO ME AS SODOM, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF AS GOMORRAH. THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD...CONCERNING THE PROPHETS ...HEARKEN NOT UNTO THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS THAT PROPHESY UNTO YOU: THEY MAKE YOU VAIN: THEY SPEAK A VISION OF THEIR OWN HEART, AND NOT OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LORD. THEY SAY STILL UNTO THEM THAT DESPISE ME...YE SHALL HAVE PEACE; AND THEY SAY UNTO EVERY ONE THAT WALKETH AFTER THE IMAGINATION OF HIS OWN HEART, NO EVIL SHALL COME UPON YOU...I HAVE NOT SENT THESE PROPHETS, YET THEY RAN: I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THEM, YET THEY PROPHESIED... I HAVE HEARD WHAT THE PROPHETS SAID, THAT PROPHESY LIES IN MY NAME...HOW LONG SHALL THIS BE IN THE HEART OF THE PROPHETS THAT PROPHESY LIES? YEA, THEY ARE PROPHETS OF THE DECEIT OF THEIR OWN HEART; WHICH THINK TO CAUSE MY PEOPLE TO FORGET MY NAME...THEREFORE, BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THE PROPHETS, SAITH THE LORD, THAT STEAL MY WORDS EVERY ONE FROM HIS NEIGHBOUR. BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THE PROPHETS, SAITH THE LORD, THAT USE THEIR TONGUES, AND SAY, HE SAITH. BEHOLD, I AM AGAINST THEM THAT PROPHESY FALSE DREAMS, SAITH THE LORD, AND DO TELL THEM, AND CAUSE MY PEOPLE TO ERR BY THEIR LIES, AND BY THEIR LIGHTNESS; YET I SENT THEM NOT, NOR COMMANDED THEM: THEREFORE THEY SHALL NOT PROFIT THIS PEOPLE AT ALL...THUS SHALT THOU SAY TO THE PROPHET...I WILL BRING AN EVERLASTING REPROACH UPON YOU, AND A PERPETUAL SHAME, WHICH SHALL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.� (Jeremiah 23:1-40)
A question which must be answered is, how to counter the Judization, the implementation of false teachings which have been given to the vast majority of the preachers in the pulpits of America today?
It is my considered opinion that more than 95% of the so-called preachers, ministers, priests and etc., in the pulpits of America today are nothing more or less than PRIESTS, MINISTERS, PREACHERS, YEA: THEY ARE DISCIPLES OF SATAN!
That there are preachers [from this point on I will use the word preacher(s) instead of listing the various names by which they are called by their congregations] of Satan in America today is beyond question, to anyone who will take time to study both the Scriptures and the results of the so-called preaching of to days preachers.
Every time that I think to myself it is a hopeless task, trying to inform American Christians and provide them with information their preacher is not about to give them; for fear of the Jews, that almost all of the "Judeo‑Chr�istians" in Organized Religion are not interested in really learning the Word of God.
�However the Lord, through the Holy Ghost, brings to mind the following Scriptures: "...Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places [A stony heart], where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold." (Matthew 13:3‑8)
��� Which is explained by Jesus: "Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one hear�eth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one [Satan], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He, also, that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the work; and the care of this world [Ministers of Organized Religion], and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hearth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." (Matthew 13:18‑23)
��� The second witness Deuteronomy 19:15 is Luke: "A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was spring up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold." (Luke 5‑8)
��� What I said about the Holy Ghost bringing things into remembrance is borne out by the following Scripture: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father shall send in my name, he [The Holy Ghost] shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
��� As I thought upon these things which I am presenting to you, the Holy Ghost showed me why I must present them to you. "If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words OF FAITH and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained." (1 Timothy 4:6)
��� So you can see I, as a brother and servant to Christ, it is my duty to show you and all who will listen these things, to sow the seed. Then you and they must do what you will with that seed.
��� Therefore: "Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle [Flesh body], to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me." (2 Peter 1:12‑13)
��� So it is: "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not." (Jude 5)
��� Therefore, in response to the Lord's commandment to me, I present the following for your study and edification. It is very evident, that, there are actually people who are carrying out what is known in the Scriptures as Baal worship. Many of our people, and most preachers, simply do not know what Baal worship is.
��� They don't understand it or recognize it when they see it. Because they have not been taught, because of false the false teaching they have received in the seminaries, to recognize it. It can be likened to recognizing or understanding a disease. Everyone knows there is a disease known as cancer.
��� In fact, cancer manifests itself in a number of different ways. However, we would venture to guess that there is no one in most church audiences who could look at a person and say that person has cancer. Not because they are without intelligence, and not because cancer does not exist, but because the symptoms are so different and, generally speaking, are unknown to our people.
Much is heard from the Judeo-Christian clergy, those in the pulpits of America, on television, on radio, with columns in the newspapers and etc., all of them; about the simple little idea, �God Will Punish America� (Israel). Yet we suppose it is one of the least understood maxims of the Scripture, among Christian people. We have had the opportunity to talk to Judeo-Christian people about God�s punishment upon individuals, on people, or the nation. However, apparently, most people refuse to believe it; they just do not want to accept the idea that God actually and deliberately punishes a people or a nation.
We wish to show you a few things out of the Scripture that we think should convince, at least some of the skeptics, that God does actually punish His people Israel; for instance, from the prophet Amos: �Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying. YOU ONLY HAVE I KNOWN OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH: THEREFORE I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR ALL YOUR INIQUITIES.� (Amos 3:1-2)
There are two great truths in that one verse:
1). �You only have I known of all the families of the earth,� (God has a special relationship with His people Israel that is different than His relationship with all the rest of the people and races that are on the earth); and therefore
2). Because of that special relationship, God says �I will punish you for all your iniquities.� God said, I will punish you because of the relationship that I have with you that is different from other people and races.
Yet these false teachers, the dogs of the enemy, tell you that whenever there is a natural disaster in countries such as Bangla Desh that is an act of God. For they cannot stop lying and trying to deceive Yahweh�s Israel people, to deny them their rightful heritage on earth, and give it to Yahweh�s enemies.
He goes on: �Can two walk together, except they be agreed?� (Amos 3:3)
It�s amazing how much preaching there is today on this idea that we can walk with God, but we don�t necessarily have to agree with Him (Just listen to any Judeo-Christian minister as he delivers his sermon from the pulpit). In other words, we can put aside His Word and not teach it, we can put aside His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments, and not obey it, and actually cast aspersions on it; and yet still walk with God. But He says, �can two walk together unless they be agreed?�
It is worth while to discuss this faith in detail; to remember that it is, in deed, �the FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints.� It is the foundation of our lives and it should be the mainspring of our thoughts and actions. We who hold these truths concerning the origin, responsibility and destiny of the people Yahweh selected as His servant people, are often asked just what we stand for. What is our faith? How is it different from that of any other religious organization? That question is pertinent and deserves an answer. In our discussion of the true meaning of faith, we can supply the answer required.
FIRST: We accept the Bible as the Word of God and we believe God as well as believe in God. That is, we accept as true and binding whatever God says.
We recognize and hold firm to the fact that Yahweh is a covenant-keeping God; that all His promises are sure and certain of fulfillment: �that what He had promised, He was able also to perform;� and �the gifts and callings of God are without repentance;� that God is, in deed, what He declared Himself to be: �I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.� (Malachi 3:6)
We also believe that the Bible is, in fact, God�s Word written, and that what Paul told Timothy is absolutely true: �All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.� (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We are absolutely, sure, also, that the prophets who gave the dramatic preview of the unfolding of the Divine purpose for His Israel people, of which we in our day and generation have witnessed so much concrete fulfillment, were inspired by Yahweh, and that Peter was correct in saying: �We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.� (2 Peter 1:19-21)
Moffatt puts it even more clear when he says: �Pray attend to that word; it shines like a lamp within a darksome spot, till the Day dawns and the day-star arises within your hearts; understanding this, at the outset, that no prophetic scripture allows a man to interpret it by himself; for prophecy never came by human impulse, if was when carried away by the Holy Spirit that the holy men of God spoke.�
Again, our faith in Yahweh is strengthened by the knowledge of the fact that Yahshua, when here on earth, confirmed and ratified every word spoken by the prophets. He placed His seal of Divine approval and acceptance upon all that the prophets had spoken.
From the prophetic story of the Divine purpose for the world, we are assured that God invariably selects people and chooses nations as His servants and agents of His purpose. He always works meditately; that is, through people. When He wanted to bring into being a people for His name, He chose Abraham and declared that through him and his descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
The descendants of Abraham eventually become known not merely as Abraham�s seed, but as the people of Israel. And to these people, charged with the responsibility of the demonstration and practical manifestation of what God has in mind for Israel, God promised perpetuity of existence as a nation, and later as �a nation and company of nations.� They were to have in their midst the Throne of David, concerning which God also declared it would stand in perpetuity.
There was, in spite of the Judeo-Christian clergy�s assertions that there was no favoritism or national superiority implied in the selection of the individual or of the people for special service. �You only have I known of all the families of the earth...� (Amos 3:2)
We are further told: �But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.� (Isaiah 41:8)
We are also told: �Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham.� (Nehemiah 9:7)
Therefore we can see that we were chosen by Yahweh for a special honor and a vocation which He bestowed upon Israel, never to be taken away, no matter how unworthy the recipients of the vocation are. It is not based upon any particular merit of the people chosen, but it is a dignity and a heritage bestowed, in order that the people chosen may carry out their appointed tasks with humility as the agents of Yahweh.
As a matter of fact, Yahweh is very careful to declare, when He made this declaration to the people who He had chosen: �Thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BE A SPECIAL PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF, ABOVE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and REDEEMED you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.� (Deuteronomy 7:6-8)
Please not the tremendous importance of that statement and the previous one. ISRAEL WAS CHOSEN AND PRESERVED BECAUSE OF GOD�S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB/ISRAEL.
Those people who declare that Israel no longer exists ARE GUILTY OF STATING THAT GOD HAS NOT KEPT HIS PROMISE. That is a terrible thought to entertain because, if there is any single promise of God that He has not kept, and will not keep, then there is no promise of His upon which we can rely. If this were true, we would be �of all men most miserable,� and our faith in vain.
In connection with Israel and the Divine purpose, we know that, in spite of their national rebellion and disobedience, God determined to redeem them, and that He did so by the Atonement wrought on Calvary. He made it possible for Israel to be made fit once again for the responsibility which is still theirs. Thus we can sing in the words of the Benedictus: �Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for He hath visited, and REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE; and hath raised up a mighty salivation for us: in the house of His servant David.�
Each time we repeat this song of Zacharias, we confirm our faith that God carried out Israel�s redemption in order �to perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember His holy covenant; to perform the oath which He sware to our forefather Abraham.� (Paraphrase of Luke 1:72-73)
The realization of the undeniable truth of all these things naturally brings with it the absolute belief in the necessity for individual and national acceptance of Jesus as our REDEEMER, our SAVIOR, and our KING. It further confirms the realization that we must become, in fact, Christian Israel.
We must personally and nationally acknowledge the unrivaled value of the sacrifice made by our Lord on Calvary. Then we must recognize the fact that we are Israel, both by the selection of race and by the election of grace, for as Paul declares: �If ye be Christ�s, then are ye Abraham�s seed, and heirs according to the promise.� (Galatians 3:29)
The Judeo-Christian clergy has taken this verse and warped it into something it is not, and state this makes all the races the seed of Abraham, which is a terrible Satanic lie straight from the pits of darkness and the minds of his children the Jews.
