Prayer

 

Now it came to pass, as Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray...”  So He said to them, In this manner, therefore, pray:

 

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

 
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

 
And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.

 
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen

 

This model prayer tells us Who we should pray to, What we should pray for, and Why we should pray.

 

WHO

Jesus said pray to our Heavenly Father, ask for His Kingdom to come, His will to be done. 

What

Provide us with our daily food, forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Why

Keep us from temptation, and deliver us from the evil one. Then end our prayer with yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen

If you are not saying this prayer the second your feet hit the floor every morning, you are missing a HUGE blessing.

 

What a wonderful way to start every day.

The Feast of Weeks/Pentecost

 

The Old Testament Feast of Weeks was a rehearsal for the coming of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament called Pentecost. The Old Testament was a shadow of things to come. The New Testament is the fulfillment of things to come. Read Hebrews 10. The Feasts of the Lord were not done away, they are a pattern of God's plan of salvation for all mankind.

Pentecost comes 50 days (or 7 weeks) after the sabbath within the Days of Unleavened Bread and always observed on Sunday.

 

Coming of the Holy Spirit - Acts 2:1-4

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided (like a cow's hoof) tongues (like a serpent's tongue, flickering), as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues (other human languages so the mixed crowd could understand what Peter was saying on the day of Pentecost, not gibberish that no one could comprehend), as the Spirit gave them utterance.

 

Sunday, May 25, 2025 is the Day set aside to remember and give thanks for the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit to guide us, we cannot understand the Bible. God reveals knowledge little by little.

 

As it is written in Isaiah 28:9-11

“Whom will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”

Organized religion has rejected all of the Feast of the Lord except Pentecost. What a shame that most Church goers are not taught the whole counsel of God. Get a better understanding of the Feast Days

Gospel of the Kingdom

 

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. ~ Matthew 9:35

 

The word gospel means good news. Exactly what is this "good news"?  In a nutshell: You came from God, you belong to God, you are going to God. You have no choice. God has predestined you to be reconciled to Him. ~ Ephesians 1:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:18

 

The only choice we have is to be a profitable servant or an unprofitable servant. We will all meet our Maker as one or the other.

 

Instead of witnessing what Jesus has done, and is doing, Churchanity turns Christians into salesmen. And what do Churches sale?... mostly false doctrines, traditions of men, fables, Church membership with religious rituals, and substitutes a gospel of salvation for the Gospel of the Kingdom which Jesus came preaching.

 

And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:14. 

Organized religion delays the return of Jesus Christ to establish the Kingdom on earth by preaching a false gospel to the nations. As witnesses of Jesus Christ, Christians are under oath to tell the truth. Until the nations know the Truth they are not free to make an informed decision. ~ John 8:32

 

The idea of Jesus's return being delayed is explored in Matthew 24:45-51, where an evil servant says, "My lord delays his coming." This is not a literal delay, but rather a false conclusion drawn by a wicked servant who uses the perceived delay as an opportunity to continue sinful behavior.

The delay in Christ's return can be understood in the context of God's love, mercy, grace, and desire for all people to come to salvation. One key passage that addresses this topic is found in 2 Peter 3:9, which states, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

Yahweh God is calling our attention to correctly identify His chosen people, especially to the Bride of Christ, the Remnant seed of the House of Israel, the Regenerated Sons and Daughters which were scattered from Judea and Galilee to the four corners of the earth to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom to all nations.

And blessed are those who enter the Kingdom all for the glory of His holy name, For truly we will be abandoned, desolate, and empty, if we do not proclaim the name of the LORD (Yahweh), Yahshua (aka Jesus Christ) is the  King of a New Israel. The Old Israel was physical and temporary, the New Israel is spiritual and eternal.

False teachers believe the concept of the Jewish people being God's chosen people is rooted in the Old Testament and is supported by numerous passages. Deuteronomy 7:6 is a key verse they use stating, "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession." Other passages, such as Deuteronomy 14:2 and Psalm 135:4, also emphasize this idea which false teacher wrongly assume refers to Jews. 

These verses highlight the unique relationship between God and the Israelites, not exclusively Jews. The tribe of Judah was not in existence when these promises were made. 

 

False Witnesses Preach False Gospels

 

Denominational Churchanity preaches doctrines such as: the doctrine of salvation, the doctrine of immortal soul, the doctrine of heaven and hell, the doctrine of Easter and Christmas, the doctrine of Lent, the doctrine of prosperity, the doctrine of healing, the doctrine of speaking in unknown tongues, the doctrine of belonging to the "right church", the doctrine of the sabbath, the doctrine of only using Hebrew names, and they orbit these doctrines having a form of godliness, but denying the power of the Gospel of the Kingdom ~ 2 Timothy 3:5 

 

The Church that Jesus built is not an earthly organization, it's a Body of Believers seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

Just as our physical body has many parts all working together, so our spiritual body consists of many parts. 1 Corinthians 12:12 states, "For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ". This verse emphasizes that although the body has many different parts, they all work together to form one unified body. 1 Corinthians 12:21 in the Bible. It means that no part of a body (or, by extension, a community or organization) is superior to another, and each part is necessary and dependent on the others. The full verse reads, "The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” Churchianity competes for members, Christianity makes Disciples. 

I was raised in a Christian Church. I don't remember ever hearing a sermon about the Kingdom of God. What it is, and what the requirements are to enter the Kingdom. I was 45 years old before I heard a sermon on the Kingdom. It was another 20 years before I fully appreciated the love and mercy of my Heavenly Father.

Churchianity is always trying to convert people from one religion to another. Christian conversion is to God, not changing from a non-Christian religion or joining another Church. Churchianity has done horrible things in the name of God.

Earth Crust Displacement

 

In the book of Revelation, Jesus explains to John how the second earth age will be destroyed and usher in the third earth age called the Kingdom of Heaven. In chapter 8, verse 11 a star named Wormwood appears and makes water bitter and poison. ~ Revelation 8:7-13

Moses and the prophet Jeremiah mentioned wormwood as a metaphor for God's anger towards people who follow false teachers and worship other gods.

The name wormwood is derived from the ancient use of the plant (Artemesia absinthium) and its extracts as an intestinal anthelmintic. Wormwood was the main ingredient in absinthe, a largely banned, toxic liqueur, the chronic consumption of which was associated with absinthism. Absinthe attacks the central nervous system causing seizures, and often death.

The drink was banned in France in 1915, when the wormwood used to make liquor was thought to cause hallucinations and madness. As the historian P.E. Prestwich explained back in 1979, the actual reasons for the ban were more complex. Soldiers fighting in Algeria first brought absinthe to France.

Whether absinthe has hallucinogenic effects remains unclear. The psychological symptoms attributed to the liquor were later thought to be caused by thujone, a toxic chemical present in wormwood; that conjecture was disproved in the late 1990s. The production and sale of absinthe subsequently became legal in many countries, fueling a modern revival in absinthe consumption.

Jesus continues to reveal what will happen in Revelation 9. Amazingly, mankind still believes "science and technology" will save them. Revelation 9:20-21: But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries (pharmaceutical remedies) or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Earth Crust Displacement

It happened once and it will happen again just as described in the book of Revelation. When the earth's crust is unlocked the north and south poles will shift to the equator and cause massive tsunamis. Earth will be cleansed for the return of Jesus Christ, The King of All Nations ~ Revelation 11:15

In 2023, the shift of the Earth's crust has taken on a new character. The plates are moving more rapidly, causing more intense earthquakes and volcanic activity. In some areas, the ground is rising and falling at an alarming rate, while in others, entire islands are disappearing into the sea.
