If you are still serving and promoting an angry, vengeful, and vindictive God, then you may want to take another look at the price of redemption. Yahweh the Father sent Yahshua His son to show us the way back home, and then fulfilled every promise He made concerning His return on the Day of Pentecost. Selah!

The reality that I had a life-changing encounter with Yahweh on the evening of June 14th, 1970, is something worth repeating. The truth is, life-changing does not begin to speak to what happened. As I reflect back over the past five plus decades of service to the King and His domain, I attribute the early years of my walk with the Sovereign, with the son I am still becoming today.

The topic of spiritual growth and development has been broadly spoken to in many essays, articles, and books. However, I would like to speak more directly to the four phases of my life and journey with the Sovereign. The first phase was all about me. The second phase was all about me and Him. The third phase was about Him and me, and the fourth phase has and is all about Him.

Building something new involves preparing the site for the foundation and building on the foundation according to specific plans/schematics or blueprints. Now, think about all of the above as it pertains to the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house.

The Feast of Ingathering and the last great day is not about world harvest or the second coming of Yahshua. The question in all of our minds should be what ingathering should we be celebrating, and what does the last great day mean to responsible Kingdom Citizens? There is a great spiritual awakening taking place right now. The sons (Huios) of Yahweh are waking up to the reality of who they are in Messiah.

There is a difference between the ongoing work of the apostolic/Kingdom ministry, and the Apostles doctrine. Going where we are sent includes preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, sharing our story, and doing life with the people. My concern is we have reduced the gift and grace to powerless apostolic doctrine without foundation. The full comprehensive plan of salvation includes Holy Spirit baptism, healing, and deliverance. We must be born of water and of the spirit in order to see and enter the Kingdom.

This generation seems to be ever-learning but never able to come to the saving knowledge of the truth. They continue to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in search for truth that will lead to super-human powers, immortality, and ascension. These have become major topics of interest. Recent discoveries and further disclosure have led many to depart from formerly held views concerning the creation story and origin of man.

This topic is dear to my heart and one that needs further clarification. The quote, “Ordained covenantal relationship, marriage, and family are the same in the Spirit", took me some time to process and understand what the Spirit was saying. The reality that it is the only relationship that has the ability to reproduce after a Yahweh kind took even longer to unpack. Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the importance of developing new relationships while enjoying the safety and security of lifelong friendships.

It is not my intention to address every teaching with which I take issue. However, it is my intention to clearly state my position concerning one particular false teaching that has been reintroduced to the Ekklesia in recent years. It is primarily responsible for opening the door to further deception and delusion on our watch. The following doctrine has been relabeled and packaged in a way that is currently spreading through Western Christendom like a virus.

There is a divine mystery - a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it! Christ is our message! We preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of truth.

Do not hold too firmly to what you presently believe to be true, because further enlightenment and illumination will cause the landscape to look very different. If you are a lover of the truth, you will never be satisfied with being told what to believe....

True authentic apostles and prophets have been tasked with the responsibility of addressing crippling mindsets that serve to hinder and limit our personal and corporate growth and development. I am talking about deeply-held-to teachings and views that are contrary to what the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesia. Some of them have no biblical precedent, and others are based on the doctrines of devils and men. These mindsets, keep us detached from one another and displaced in the ongoing work of apostolic ministry.

It has been suggested that the universe is still growing at the speed of light, as it is infinite. I believe that it would be safe to say that as long as there is light in the world, that darkness will never again cover the earth. Light = Illumination and Enlightenment, and the only reason there is any darkness at all is because the first-man Adam chose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Light in relationship to creation was called Day.

The religion of Christianity is no different than any other benevolent religion unless it involves translation, transformation, and transfiguration (where there is no translation, transformation and transfiguration, there is no true salvation). Salvation includes redemption and forgiveness. Being born again of the water and the spirit grants us entrance into the kingdom where we live, move, and have our being as a part of His New Creation Reality. We were saved, we are being saved, and we will continue to be saved.

Have you ever felt like you were caught in a riptide, being towed out to sea? Have you ever been rolled and tossed by the waves of the sea? Have you ever said to yourself why is this happening to me? Have you ever been depressed, despairing, and needing some relief? Yes or No? We all have and will at some point experience the answer to the above questions. Every disciple must be willing to lay down his life in absolute surrender, and fully embrace his destiny in order to discover sonship

The Ekklesia is rising all across the land, and the order and government of Yahweh are challenging historically entrenched prince devils and master spirits when and wherever they can. I hear the sound of a heavenly shofar blowing. It is not a reveille or retreat. It is a call to assembly. It is a call to action. For some, it is just a curiosity. For others, it is a summons. The closer they move to the sound...the more it becomes a voice...the closer they move to the voice...the more it becomes a word.

We are more than our DNA or our upbringing. Never a baby has been born that got past the plan and purpose of Yahweh. If we are here, it is by divine design. If we made it this far, he planned on it. The difference between children and sons is (sons) know who they are in him, and no longer identify with the fictional man. The fictional man is who we became apart from him and one another. (DNA, upbringing, life experiences, etc.) If we were able to become all we were foreordained to be apart from one another in him, we would have done it long ago.

David was not allowed to build the temple, but Yahweh told him that he would build a house for him. David was a man of war and had blood on his hands, so he was not qualified to build the temple. Solomon was allowed to build the temple and the house of David, but he was warned about keeping his heart right and being a man of integrity like his father before him. Neither of them was qualified to build the Father's house because that responsibility was reserved for Yahshua the Messiah.

With all of the numerous variations of Apostolic/Kingdom ministry going on, we need to narrow our view, and with focused intent clearly define what it means to be truly apostolic. If we continue to pursue religion-based fellowship and relationship in the same old conventional ways, we too will go by way of the dinosaur. We may as well try to prepare for the next extinction-level event.

Holy Spirit has been prompting me to write and speak to what I have been hearing concerning the difference between "Freedom of Religion" and "Freedom of Worship". I believe it safe to say that what we presently believe to be true concerning "Freedom of Religion" is primarily based on a limited understanding of the first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America. This book will be addressing that understanding, and I sincerely hope that it will be something worthy of further consideration.
