DO NOT PUT YOURSELF BACK UNDER LAWS of Slavery.
By brother/Chaplain Jimmie Warren

Do not listen to those who TEACH OTHER’S TO LIVE UNDER THE LAWS OF DEATH known as ( THE LAWS OF MOSES)

This article is for those who continually fight over “KEEPING THE LAW” OR OF “THE LAW IS FULFILLED BY JESUS” WHO IS THE LAW yes, YESHUA Messiah who is ALL OF THE LAW EVEN the Sabbath DAY.” Which includes the 10 commandments WHICH were ON THE STONE TABLETS BROUGHT DOWN BY MOSES to give the 12 tribes of Israel to follow because they knew no laws accept those of the Egyptian Pagan Gods But, when their Messiah came who was and is JESUS/YESHUA MESSIAH, WHO is bigger and better than the law, that was given on Mt. Sinai? See These laws were given to the12 tribes of Israel to know their God “Yahweh”, but these laws where not given to the rest of the world where they. Would it be fair for our all loving God to destroy the rest of the world because we didn’t know these laws?
What happens to the millions who aren’t of Israel’s 12 tribes? The Bible doesn’t say it?

 “But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said : "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. 
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear. (Hebrew’s 8:6-13)
When Jesus said “ it is done ” what do you think “done” means? What does the word“done” mean when you say “I am done, or better yet I have finished it”?

Paul said “Tell me, those of you who want to live under the law: Are you really listening to what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and the other by a free woman. Now the son of the slave woman was conceived according to the flesh, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise. This is being said as an allegory, for these women represent “two covenants”. The one woman, Hagar, is from Mount Sinai, and her children are born into slavery. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery along with her children. But the heavenly Jerusalem is the free woman, and she is our mother. For it is written,
"Rejoice, you childless woman,
who cannot give birth to any children!
Break into song and shout,
you who feel no pains of childbirth!
For the children of the deserted woman
are more numerous than the children
of the woman who has a husband."

So you, brotheran, are the children of the promise, like Isaac. But just as then the son who was conceived according to the flesh persecuted the son who was conceived according to the Spirit, so it is now. But what does the Scripture say? "Drive out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman must never share the inheritance with the son of the free woman." So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.(Gals. 4:21-31)

Those of us who live by the Spirit of the Law walk by faith in that “JESUS IS ALL WE NEED”
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."
(Ephs. 2:13) KJV 

So who is it that is made nigh by Christ’s blood? Remember, that before YESHUA Messiah went to the cross, there was only two groups of people: the Jews and the Gentiles THE WHOLE WORLD so, if you’re not of the Jew then you are a Gentile "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" (Ephs. 2:14-15)

What happened to the law of commandments contained in ordinances at Christ’s death ?
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." (Colossians 2:13-15) KJV

Here again what does Blotted out mean?
 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” (Acts 3:19)
Pretty plain don’t you think?
Sins come from breaking the laws to show right from wrong, but as long as we are flesh we cannot keep the law which is against us. This is the reason Jesus came to FULFILL THE LAW so, we come through His Blood and are covered by it, thus God sees us free of sin by his only begotten Son YESHUA MESSIAH. Amen!

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" (Romans 3:23-25) KJV

Paul says “We ourselves are Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners, yet we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law, for No human being will be justified by the works of the law. Now if we, while trying to be justified in Christ, have been found to be sinners, does that mean that Christ is a minister of sin? Of course not! For if I rebuild something that I tore down, I demonstrate that I am a wrongdoer. or through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.” (Eph.2 :15-21)

Churches who preach you must live back under the laws of a slave is not of the children of Abraham. You my dear brethren, Are of the Children of the Free Woman, you are from the seed (CHRIST) of Sarah, not the slave woman Hagar, so lift your heads and be free in YESHUA Messiah Jesus the Christ and Savior of all mankind. He who is coming back to set up the kingdom of God here on this earth to reign for 1,000 years! After the millennium of 1,000 years here on earth the Almighty Father Himself, God of Heaven and Earth, will be here on a new earth with all his children. This is the true Gospel or Good news Jesus taught.

Do you know that nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus died for any sin that would occur after His death? How many people sinned after Jesus was hung on the cross? What about those who nailed him to the cross, or those who judged him to death who knew good and well who he was, they were using their laws to find him guilty because he said he was the son of God, these Jewish laws are the same (Laws of Moses) then they used these laws to kill their own “Messiah”as we know as Jesus The Christ of whom the Bible predicated would happen and did.

Are they all Forgiven or not, or are they all lost, because they were blinded and they had to fulfill what was predicated to happen by their forefathers? Would it be fair for the rest of the world to be condemned because we didn’t follow some laws given to the 12 tribes of Israel to keep that had faults in them for the rest of the world? That’s why Jesus came to save the whole world not just the JEWS OR THE OTHER 11 TRIBES OF Israel!

How many were justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in YESHUA / Jesus?
Are sins in the past or those committed today or those of future sin coved by the blood of Jesus?
What do you think? Is YESHUA Messiah /Jesus Christ’s blood good for all Peoples or just those at his time?
"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." (Hebrew’s 9:15)
Does it make sense that if Jesus completely took away all sin at the cross, he would not have had to die for the sin of those who lived after the cross?
WE ARE ALL CALLED TO RECEIVE SALVATION IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, but ALL SAVED! IF WE ONLY BELIEVE IN YESHUA MESSIAH / JESUS CHRIST!

The Ten Commandments are loving warnings written on our hearts and minds, they are there to protect us from harm. They are not a set of stone-cold regulations imposed on us by some divine policeman. The Decalogue is literally “The Ten Words” according to the Greek roots: DEKA, ten, LOGOI, words. Ten profound spiritual revelations spoken to us by a loving God to keep us from what will harm us. Ten spiritual paths that help us grow more fully and deeply human in all of our relationship with God our Father, with our fellow human beings, with creation, and even with ourselves.

“The love of Christ controls us, for we are convinced of this: that one person died for all people; therefore, all people have died. He died for all people, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for the one who died and rose for them. So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way anymore. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new! All of this comes from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. For in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself by not counting their sins against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Therefore, we are Christ's representatives, as though God were pleading through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: "Be reconciled to God!" God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become God's righteousness in him. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned– for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.”( Romans 5:6-13)

“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:” (2 Corinthians 5:18)

“But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation–“ (Colossians 1:22)

I keep showing by Gods own word, from His Bible, dear loved ones, today we are living under “THE NEW TESTAMENT” The Testament of JESUS, HE GAVE TO ALL. Who said believe on me and do the things I have given, which would be the Holy Spirit, who shows all the saints living by the Spiritual not the flesh to be in Gods Kingdom? Many have and a few still are condemning what is being shown on this site because we preach “love all mankind and love God with all your heart”.These two tenets are what Jesus told his disciples to do, to be in Gods Holy Kingdom which will be here sooner than most think

My dear friends, I do not preach this because I want too but, because I am compiled to reach out on the Internet or wherever for all who are burning to hear the word of God. I am not here to preach the same old religion of other men who try to pass off their verse from their Bible schools, and to make you slaves again. These laws of the old testament, are laws that lead to a death, for when there is no law, we live free under Jesus by the very spirit he sent to fill our hearts and minds to do. Because we want to keep whatever makes God Happy! NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO! Some just don’t get it, it is by the Spirit which sets us free therefore we are free under Jesus YESHUA Messiah those with the FLESHLY HEART do not get the Spirit so, they must have some kind of laws or rules to guild them to do right but fail every day because NO ONE CAN KEEP THE LAW IN THE FLESH?

JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KEPT THE WHOLE LAW AND FINISHED THEM. WHEN HE WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS!
People who are fo the FLESH are the ones who need the Law to Guild them to whatever? Their MESSIAH-- JESUS.? You need no law to find Jesus for. He already came! YESHUA will be returning soon then. We will know for sure what truth is “ for all have fallen short of the glory of God” ? “But by the GRACE OF GOD go I” For once I was blind but NOW I SEE” Thank you JESUS/YESHUA for keeping me in your sight to do your will! Amen and Amen

Are you ready to receive him, to stand on what you know, or not? Are you hanging onto what you have been told? Better read that Bible of Yours to find out before being judged by what you know to be true. What you’ve been told by some church or doctrine of some man or men, might be wrong? These men who where all taught the same old lies called religion? IT IS YOUR LIFE?

IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED CHRIST YET THAN SAY THIS PRAYER WITH MEAN:
“Heavenly Father I am a sinner and have broken your laws but by the Blood of your only begotten son Jesus I repent of my old ways and will walk in my new life with him to please only you FATHER ALMIGHTY, Save me and lead me into your righteousness Amen
In the mighty name of YESHUA / JESUS THE CHRIST”

Thank all of you who read this and please tell others or copy n send it to all.
 May the good Lord open your minds to the truth of the Bible, not of religion, or what other churches have taught you! Please get out your own Bible and look it up for yourself

Humbly Your servant of the Lord

“Let No Man Deceive You (do this for your own Bible study)”

“KEEP STRONG IN THE FAITH, FOR CHRIST OUR LORD IS NEAR”

Hello friends this is an important question we shoul all ask ourselves for real, I want you to read this slowly and think and pray over it to see if you truly believe what Jesus Yeshua Messiah told us all to do ,which is to truly BELIEVE what he taught about the kingdom of our Father God!

"Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
(Jesus goes on to say)
" for I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." (John 12:44-50 )

TOO many church people teach things passed down to them from errors taught to them from their fathers churches, that they do not even bother to check if it is right or wrong teachings but, continue in their religion because they do not study the Bible to see the errors made by men of old?

Are you one of them or do you study to prove yourself worthy to God?
Like this little matter, Jesus real name in Hebrew is "YESHUA" think about that, for if we can only be saved by one name! Shouldn't we use the right one? Just a thought!

How many of you have gone to church every weekend, only to be turned off by a church that has preached the HELL OUT OF YOU??

How many sermons from different minsters have either put you to sleep, or scared you so badly that you didn't want anything to do with God or religion?
These questions have been asked by many that are searching for God and His love. People do not need to hear about a God who hates and wants to BURN people up! God is Love, God is all Forgiving, God sent JESUS to US because He LOVES US! JESUS CHRIST loved you so much that He was willing to hang on a tree till all the life ran out of Him. That’s love real love!!

Read it yourself in your own bible(John 3 vs.16)"For GOD so loved the world [That's you and me] that He gave His only begotten SON so whom so ever shall believe shall not die but have Eternal Life."
Then in verse 17 "GOD did not send HIS son into the world to judge it, but to be our Savior" thats real love, not condemnation or hellfire!

You know, we have way to many Preachers out there thumping their bibles telling everyone " Repent or the all loving God of the Universe will Burn us FOREVER IN a HELLFIRE AND DAMNATION PLACE CALLED HELL".

I want you to stop here just a moment and think about that statement?
 Now READ (John:15 vs.16 )this is for those of you whom are ready to grow spiritually not religiously .
Quit just sitting there and letting other men tell you what you need to do.
Quit listening to other’s setting in judgement on you.
Only your heavenly Father can do that. GOD ALMIGHTY is true the God of love and He wants you as a loving son to come to Him because you want to know and love Him ON YOUR OWN.

You can only do this by knowing His word, not because someone scared you with an ever burning hell sermon. Where does JESUS tell anyone in the bible that they will be burned in a ever burning hell forever? Look for it in you own bible it is not there!

All JESUS ever told people was to repent [which means to change the way you live]. "Go and sin no more." Gods word is in the bible! Do you know Gods word?
You better pick up that Bible of yours and learn before He gets back to ask you why you don't know it?
 
Don't be freaked out because you where thrown out of some church, or even if you left on your own because you did not agree with what some mans organized church said was Gods way.

Maybe they even said that you are wrong but, you must remember that JESUS died for your sins because He loved you before the foundations of this world where laid. He died because He loved you first.

"that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:15-21)

Read the words yourself do not rely on just those behind some pulpit who may or may not be reading their own Bibles but, following some church doctrines of lies?
Do you believe in the word of God or the word of some Pastor hired by some board to preach church doctrine?

I always say, "prove all things with your own bibles" then by studying the word of God (Bible) you will know the true Gospel of YESHUA / Jesus himself! YESHUA / Jesus preached, Salvation by Grace which is the Good News, and that of the coming kingdom of God, to this earth, where we will live with God the Father forever!!

"But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men." (John 5:34-41)

" I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" (John 5:43-44)
DO NOT JUST FOLLOW SOME CHURCH THAT TELLS YOU THEY HAVE THE ONLY TRUTH, BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT EVEN BE FOLLOWING JESUS OR WHAT HE TAUGHT, they are most likely FOLLOWING CHURCH DOGMA AND OTHER MEN MADE DOCTRINES!

We all need to quit fighting over doctrines and church issues and remember who we are following, even some who follow a little different path but are still following the Lord are of the Lord?I have heard other so called Christians say, all those Catholics are not Christians or them old Jews with all their laws won’t make it because, they don’t know Jesus Christ? Brethren at some time in your own life you didn’t know Jesus either, maybe you still don’t know Him ,if your one with this kind of attitude?

Jesus loved the whole world and "HE DIED FOR ALL MANKIND TO BE SAVED" not, just a few who think they have all the truth, remember "HE WHO BELIEVES AND CONFESSES WITH HIS TONGUE IS SAVED......

We should all respect each other's spiritual journey and path, and have a willingness to come together in fellowship to spread the Gospel about the Good News of Jesus Yeshua ,regardless of our differences of worship style or minor doctrines, if it is not unto salvation then don’t fight over it. Amen and Amen!

" Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." (John 17:20-23)

For we are all for Yeshua our Lord aren’t we?
YESHUA -JESUS is suppose to be our Leader, Master, Brother and Friend, like most families-- we can differ in our walk but, we are to come into agreement when it comes to following our Father and His will, RIGHT? "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
These verses sum it all up very nicely. We need to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, especially in matters of understanding. This means submitting our wills (and our egos) to Him. How many people are truly doing this when studying His word?

From the looks of it, I would guess not too many.

If we could all just learn to rely on God to give us understanding instead of trying so hard to understand on our own, "our paths would be made straight" and maybe we could finally be in agreement that it is all about our Lord Jesus, for he did it all so we can be one family!
Jesus said " if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." (John. 11:40-44)

You see Even if we die, yet ,shall we live. If we believe as the Bible tells us to believe we can never really die. Remember the mustered seed of faith? I have one taped in my bible, it is the same size as the period at the end of the sentence ( . )Yet to our shame, most of us do not have that much?
DO YOU HAVE BELIEF or NOT? JUST FOLLOW OR KNOW FOR SURE?

We all need help to believe because we are weak yet the Lord is strong as he tells this man after raising his child "And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief" (Mark 9:24)

Let us all Pray for our unbelief, lets be strong in our faith and belief, for the day of the Lord is at hand! Invite your Father God, to do within you what Jesus tells you to do within him. Therefore repeat what he has given all of us to say and do and that is to spread the Gospel of Christ Yeshua to ever creature, his message which has never unchanged ! No , not (for the sake of any ministry /church or man) but, by doing as Jesus Himself preached to all who believed "THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE".

This is the Gospel of Good News ,the gospel is the soon coming Kingdom of God here on earth. Be a Good servant, repeat what God himself has given you to say, to those who have no life in them and are still lost in the ways of the world; God Himself has "condemned already" until belief in His only begotten Son.

Jesus/Yeshua and who is sent to save the world, yes to save those who will have 'Yeshua Messiah' reign over them and free them from bondage to the ways of the world.
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." (Hebrews 12:1-3)

It is all about Jesus our Yeshua Messiah and our belief in the words he brought and by which he saved us all. DON'T JUST BE A FOLLOWER READ IT YOURSELF!

Before he went to the cross, Jesus told his disciples that they should not be divided. In a moving prayer, he asked God to make all his followers one, united in the Father's love.
"My prayer is not for them alone," said Jesus of his first disciples. "I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in me and I am in You. May they also be in Us... that they may be one as We are One... May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent me and have loved them even as You have loved me." (John 17:20-23)

We all need to quit judging one another and pray for the unity to worship our Messiah and for His soon coming kingdom Amen!
"let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." (Revelation 2:7)

ALL IS DONE BY THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM IN CHRIST!
"Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God."(Romans 7:4-6 )

I live by my faith, as the Holy Spirit calls and leads me into all freedom, to see, not from the VAIL of the Old Law anymore but, from my heavenly priest "YESHUA Messiah" who now sits at the right hand of Yahweh our God and who holds my personal salvation and your salvation in his hands.
"Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."(Hebrews 6:12)

Ask yourself , "Are you one who believes through faith in Jesus Christ or are you one who believes in some church who preaches doctrines and laws to keep and by these deny Grace given to us by the blood of our Lord and master Yeshua Messiah? Amen

CLAIM YOUR REWARD

by Jimmie Warren

"What no man ever saw or heard, What no man ever thought could happen, Is the very thing God prepared for those who love him." ( 1 Corinthians 2:9)

How many of you have thought about your reward from God Almighty at the end of your life?

Have you even thought what it might be like or how great it will be for Paul said in his writtings it will be more than we can even imagine?

Do you even know what your reward will be in the Kingdom of God, this reward your getting from God?

"And so we look forward to possess the rich blessing that God keeps for his people. He keeps them for you in heaven, where they can not fade or spoil away ". (1 Peter 1:4)

Some teach that most people won’t even make it but, that their reward "will be in torment day and night forever and ever in a lake of fire." Think about this "An all loving God, sitting around watching his children burning and screaming day in and day out forever " just because they were weak? . This Does NOT sound like a very loving God does it?

Read my article " You Only Live Twice" here in the articles link.

Some people teach that you will become Angels, God already has Thousands of angels so why would he have us go through all this misery, when he could just make more angels to serve him? Still some other people teach that there is NO GOD and therefore the only reward we all get is death and the grave. What a terrible idea that is, If this is the only life we have, than we are most miserable above all men. (1 Corinthians 15:19)

Well Beloved Children of God why don’t we take a look at what God’s Holy word (The Bible ) SAYS!

The first born which is our big brother Jesus who was raised from the dead and who sits on the right hand of our Father God, lets see what He promised.

Here is what Jesus said to those who watched Him ascend into Heaven "I am going away to my Father house, where there are many mansions" (John 14:2-3)

"You will drink at my table in my Kingdom and you will sit on Thrones to judge the tribes of Israel" (Luke 22:30)

Did you know you where going to be Priests and Judges ? This is a wonderful reward unto its self don’t you think?

Let’s all look in the book of Revelation to see the great rewards for all those who finish this race called life. First what will we be doing during the 1,000 year millennium to reign with Christ? ( Rev.20:4-6)

Beloved, I want you to imagine a life with No more tears, No more pain, No more hurt feelings, No more sickness, and finally NO MORE DEATH!

Think about this, NO MORE DEATH ,WHAT A GREAT GOD WE SERVE!

Can you see this future for yourself and for your loved ones?

This is what ( Revelation 22:1-5) and verses 12-14 shows. Just think about this One God, One Kingdom, One religion, One way to live. This will be a life filled with love and ever lasting peace. No more wars, No more killings, No more HATE, what a wonderful reward our God has waiting for us who do His will.

We must all pray for God’s Kingdom to hurry and come so we can receive our long awaited rewards. Read (Romans 13:11) ‘You must do this, because you know what hour it is: the time has come for you to WAKE UP from your sleep. For the moment when we will be saved is closer now than it was when we first believed" (Romans.13:12-14) Tells even more on this idea as you finish reading the chapter.

Our greatest reward is to rise from death and live forever with our All loving God, "LIVE FOREVER" I want you to take a moment to think about that, then read (1 Corenthians15:20-28)

Once again Beloved, run the race, live for God only, Keep Him in your daily life, don’t give up your reward, it is almost here. Jesus is standing and knocking at the door, are you going to let him in?

Lets take a look at our rewards once more (Rev.21:9-26 , Rev.22:1-5,12-14)

Just think of it, my fellow brothers and sister’s of God, we will be walking on streets that are made of pure gold and living in a mansion made by Jesus himself .Think about that, Jesus making mansions for US! What a wonderful God we have and serve Amen.

Can you see yourself walking on streets of gold that are transparent as glass? How about a stream of crystal clear water running right through the middle of a city made of gold and precious jewels, all for you and me .

As you go through this world of pain and suffering and all the trials of life given you remember the rewards that awaits you.

(1 Peter 1:6-9 ) These rewards no one can ever take away from you. The greatest of all your rewards is to be happy and live with your God and all your friends and family to forever.

God has loved you from the moment you came into this world and He has your reward waiting just for you, are you ready to receive it? Don’t throw your reward away, call out to your heavenly Father and thank him for what you are going to receive Amen.

If you haven’t accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior yet, I ask you NOW to call out to your Father God and ask to be forgiven of all your sins. Yes Right Now ask to be covered by the blood of Jesus, then you will be ready for the greatest reward of all time.

Let us pray.

"Heavenly Father give us the strength to run this race in life. It does not matter if we finish last, it only matters that we finish. Father hold our hands, lead us into your glory and receive our reward of life ever-lasting with you in Jesus Christ Holy name Amen".

Your humble servant

Conservative Christian Church Leaders Betray Their

There appears to be many Conservative Christian leaders who are not following God’s commands of not judging people by what they say, but rather what they do. Evidence indicates that these leaders believe whatever the Republication Politicians promise them so that they will be able to secure a place at the king’s table for themselves.

They also give the Bush administration a pass on its willful failure to uphold biblical commands. That requires even ones own friends to be measured by these requirements. This standard also including keeping the commands of the founders of America to protect our liberty & to secure justice for all.

Depression has become our nation’s number one emotional illness, and it is increasing steadily. Rising suicide rates, especially among the young, show the final end to which depression takes people. Broken, unhappy homes and wasted lives are often the result of unfettered depression. Some depression is good because it tells us we need to stop and take stock, have a rest, or perhaps have a physical examination to see if there is a medical problem that needs to be cared for.

God’s saints accomplish great things while staggering around in dazed bewilderment. ‘By faith,’ says Scripture, ‘Abraham, … went out, not knowing whither he went.’ (Hebrews 11:8 – emphasis mine) ‘I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem,’ said Paul, ‘not knowing the things that shall befall me there.’ (Acts 20:22 – emphasis mine) The disciples were frequently stunned or mystified by Christ’s words and behavior. The psalmists were forever asking, ‘Why?’ (Eg. Psalm 10:1; 22:1; 42:9; 43:2; 44:23; 74:1; 88:14) And in the midst of his suffering, Job didn’t have a clue what was going on.

The reason you are so depressed is because of the thoughts you are thinking. The thoughts came faster than a parading machine gun and they were destructive, debilitating, and down right mean. Every day, I was beating myself down. I was saying words to myself that Id never let another person get away with. Yet they were able to sneak into my sub-conscious mind day after day.

I did not write this..

I just wanted to share it

There are a lot of Christians that are depressed

The saints in the Bible went through the sames things

Read the scripture and think on them..

I have for years, as a pet project, tried to calculate the return of the Messiah. When ever I would get some new information I would add it up with what I thought I knew. It has always held my interest. Many have tried to do calculations and have had endless theories, but who is correct? How can we ever figure out when He will return? But in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28 is a line that has always said to me that we could know when.

Thessalonians 5:1-5But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. . You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. (NKV though out. Cut Paste from Crosswalk.com)

1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. (NKV though out. Cut Paste from Crosswalk.com)

We who are followers of Yahweh are to understand. We are not in the darkness as the rest of the world is. We were to be ready so as not to be surprised as if a thief had sneaked up on us.

In my studies over the years I have studied the Jubilee, and Land Rest Years. I studied the Feasts and what they meant in times past and what they mean today and what they mean in the future. I am still studying them for an even deeper meaning. I look at the sacrifices and the rituals that the priest performed. I have learned a great deal. As I began to understand these things, Ezekiel 33: 1 - 33 comes to mind.

Ezekiel 33: 1 - 33Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’ “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.Now let me say right up front I could be wrong. I have had no visions or dreams and no one has spoken to me from heaven. But what if I am right, and I don’t speak up? What if after, many die, it was up to me to speak up and I did not. Woe is me!

1 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, 3 when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’ 7 “So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

So I will speak up now and put my name on this document and risk the ridicule I will receive from my brethren and others. And maybe this will cause some to get ready and others to begin to study and learn and search out the scriptures. And maybe others still will laugh and carry on as if nothing has been said.

Right now some are already quoting Matthew 24. But read it carefully.

Matthew 24:32-51“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near–at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, , and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near–at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of,, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

In this passage our Messiah says a number of things, but most people stop at But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

They don’t read or they don’t grasp what is being said when He says “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” So now we are told to watch. We who are His sheep don’t know the hour. Do we now know the Day? And why can’t we know the hour?

He then says to us concerning the thief in the night, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Again we are told at an hour we do not expect. And again He does not say that we won’t know the day. But of the evil servant He says “the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of,”

He says the evil servant won’t know the day or the hour. WHY?

I have already quoted Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:1 -But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.” Why did Paul not need to write to them concerning the times and season? What is he talking about? Paul is talking about the Holy Days that they kept in the appropriate seasons. They were keeping the Holy Days correctly.

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

So what does this mean? The Holy Days are shadow pictures of good things to come.

 

So if Yahshua follows the example that he gave us in how exactly down to the detail he fulfilled the spring Holy Days, then we can expect Him to also fulfill the fall holy Days down to the exact detail.

 

Prepare your garments now and have them white and pressed and ready to be put on when the Shofar is finaly blown. Don’t be the one, or let your children or grand children be the one left in the field when others are being raised up. Get ready now! He is coming, and soon! Are you ready? Will you be ready?

 

OK, lets pause a second and consider the conjuncture Moon. As we all know it is calculated in advance and we know this year and even years down the road that the Feast of Trumpets is going to be on a certain day. We even plan our Feasts years in advance and book rooms and make plans and book air travel. Why because we know the day of the Feast.

 

But Yahshua said we would not know which day was the Feast. With a calculated conjunctured Moon you do know what day the Feast is and in effect are calling Yahshua a liar. The other thing a conjunctured Moon and the Hebrew calendar do not take into consideration is the Wave Offering which I discuss in the article Pentecost’s Hidden Meaning. Because we don’t know from year to year when the Barley is going to be ripe until it is actually seen in Israel. If, we don’t know when the beginning of the year is, how can we know when the seventh month will be. And then once we know when the seventh month is we still won’t know which day is the Feast of Trumpets until we see the new Crescent Moon. These two variables prove what Yahshua said in Matt 24: 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

 

We will not know the day or the hour until it happens. In 2005 I kept the Holy Days according to this method. The Barley was early. This caused all the Holy Days to be one month earlier than the Hebrew Calendar. The seventh new Moon was sighted in September, and sent out as follows. “On Monday September 5, 2005 the New Moon of the Seventh Biblical Month was sighted from Israel marking Yom Teruah, the Day of
Shouting (Trumpets).”

In this example if Yahshua had returned this Feast of Trumpets, those of us who were ready would have been chosen while those who thought it was a month away [using the Hebrew Calendar] would have still been working in the fields. [Those using the Barley and a conjunction Moon as the starting point would have been celebrating a day earlier due to the conjunction.]

This example clearly shows that the Day is not known in advance, and never can be really. And the hour also is unknown. A 1 % visible moon is not always seen from Israel. If it is not seen then for sure it will be the next day. And I feel this is what David is doing in 1Samuel 20. The new Crescent was not seen that night therefor it was going to be the next one. Make no mistake a sighted crescent moon can be calculated. But a marginal crescent moon is not always seen. This is the variable.

The conclusion of this paper is not to show when the Messiah is to return. No, but rather, to show why we cannot know the day or the Hour of His return. It is because of this method in determining the New Moon, which marks the beginning of the new Month. It has to be sighted. This fact taken in relationship to the Barley and Wave offering clearly show why we will not know when He is to return. At least not the Day or the Hour.

THE RESURRECTION
by Jimmie Warren

During a quiet moment or late at night, have you thought about death and what might be after it? How about when your at a loved ones funeral?
No time is really a good time to think about death, is it? We would all rather not think or talk about our own demise do we? Yet death is always there!

I did a TV special about death and what happens afterwards on public TV a few years ago. The title was "The Resurrection." I start the show by walking in a graveyard and as my cameraman pans toward a blank tombstone, I asked, "One day you and all those you know will have their names put on one of these grave markers; then what?" Have you ever seen your last name engraved on a tombstone or grave marker? Maybe it was your mom or dad or someone else in your family? How about grandparents who have passed or other friends and family? 

Next time you visit a loved one who has passed away, stop and ask yourself, "What really happens next? "
What do you believe about the after life? Did Jesus really die and rise from his grave, or is there nothing left except worm meat?
Read your Bible where Jesus say's "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live,even though he dies;and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Ask yourself ?
John 11:25-26
Now would be the time to examine the resurrection of Christ because if Jesus wasn’t resurrected, you won’t be either! 
I Corinthians 15:12-19

Christ died for our sins then rose from his grave after three days and three nights. He did this to atone for our sins that we might live forever with him and Almighty God. 
I Corinthians 15:19-26 Think about that!

Now let’s see when Christ died, and then where and when he was raised from his grave or tomb. Despite popular opinion, Jesus did not, repeat did not, die on Friday afternoon and rise on Sunday morning!! Try to get 3 days and 3 nights in this time fram? Count it yourself.
Jesus died and was in his grave three days and three nights; then he was raised on the morning of the first day of the week, early Sunday.
Mark 16:1- 6, 9

If you have been paying attention, counting backwards from Sunday morning to see what day Jesus was killed, You'll see, we all where taught wrong by church doctrines?
The confusion is that the Jews count their weekly Sabbath from sunset to sunset. (Friday at dusk to Saturday at dusk) Then to make matters more confusing they called all their holy days "Sabbaths" as well.

So, if you look at your calendar and count the days like the Jewish people do, you will see that Friday night starts the seventh day on our current calendar. That’s right, Friday night to Saturday night is the seventh day of the week. However, this would be another article about the Sabbath. I’m just getting a focal point to show you. Unlike we have been taught, Jesus did not die on a Friday afternoon.

When Jesus prepared to keep his last Passover night before Jewish Passover ,this is known as the Last Supper, he sent some of the Disciples ahead to prepare for the occasion. The Passover was to be celebrated on what we would count as Wednesday night but, what the Jews would consider as early Thursday. (remember dusk to dusk)

Jesus was betrayed by Judas that same night and went before the court and to his crucifixion--about 3 pm Thursday a special Sabbathday the begining of the Feast of unleaven Bread. This is why they where in such a hurry to get him down from the cross and buried. It was soon becoming a Sabbathday at sundown! The Jewish Passover Started at sunset!

Read about Christ’s last Passover in your Bible chapter's Matthew 26 or Luke 22. These will tell about Jesus’ last night before his betrayal and capture and death.Now, if you understand how the Jews count days and that Christ was crucified on a Thursday after noon, you can see how he would be raised on theearly morning of the first day of the week, Sunday. [Mark 16:2-6]

Now that we have the days straight, we are back to the question ,do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? That he was born of a virgin birth by the Holy Spirit, and that he died like all of us have to?

The big difference is that he was raised up out of his grave after three days AND THREE nights then He ascended to the Father’s right hand. 
If you believe this, then what is going to happen to you after your death?
Will you be raised or what?
[I Corinthians 15:12-28]
We will be raised to meet Jesus at his coming and be with him one thousand years and beyond.
[Revelation 20:4-6] 
Then after a 1,000 years of the Millenium ,God the Father will come to this earth with the heavenly host to raise all the dead to be judged.
[Revelation 20:11-15]; [Revelation 21:1- 3]

If you truly believe this, then you will be raised out of your graves and be brought back to live forever with an incorruptible body like Jesus---and live forever and ever.
[I Corinthians 15:42-58] Amen and hallelujah!! 
This is the greatest news you will ever read! The greatest thing you will ever see or hear is the sound and sight of Jesus Christ descending with his angels and saying, "Rise!" This is the first resurrection.

Be ready for that day ! Don’t be sorry or afraid the next time you see a grave. Know for sure that Jesus overcame death! 

Before you die, believe, no- know, you will be raised from the dead in the first resurrection. The best thing is that all mankind will come out from their graves to meet our all-loving God the Father.
[Revelation 21:1-7] Amen.
I hope this brings ease to your heart and mind as it was meant to relieve the sadness of death!

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ is・the Good News About The Kingdom On Earth

By Bishop Jimmie W. Warren

I want you to read this slowly and think and pray over it to see if you truly believe what Jesus / Yeshua Messiah told all to do ,which is to truly BELIEVE what he taught about the kingdom of our Father God.  And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. "He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

"If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. "He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. "I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me." (John 12:44-50)

The Gospel (which just means Good News) was not about Jesus as many have preached but, is of His Fathers Kingdom and The Government of God being here on earth forever. I will come to that later on to show you with many scriptures, that talks all about Gods Kingdom and of all the men of God who spoke about it.

"YESHUA the Messiah" made a NEW COVENANT to follow and to believe in because he was sent to fulfilled the Old Covenant which was about the MESSIAH! A real Servant of Christ preaches no, to whatever he wants to preach or, is told by some headquarters back somewhere to preach, or out of some pamphlet or booklet, or who gives doctrines of that certain organized religion" to preach, and there are some If I may say, where there are doctrines not " even of the Bible, yet preached as though they are truth?"

But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. (Romans 3:21-22 /NIV)
 Check up on what you are being told by them to see if it is FALSE doctrines or are they from the Bible? If your in a church who tells you to listen to the minister over what the Bible says GET OUT NOW for they want to own you and tell you how to live the way they see fit. This is not the church Jesus built, he never meant for a church high-achy to rule over you or to control you and take your money ,for them to get rich and live better than most average person like so many of us are.

After many heart ridden questions about this church, that I spent years in, when all of a sudden, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to not be just a follower but to check out this famous church. That church which is now splintered into so many groups, that it no longer exist, except in the minds of a very few and is gone! This church was quoted that it was "The Only True Church with the only true gospel", yet God opened my eyes as I was reading the Bible on a main doctrine of which they preached. I later found that the scriptures they used did not say what they said, it meant .I then started to examine many other scriptures they used, to supposedly show what God was teaching in this True Church and to my astonishment, found many things misread, misquoted, and taken out of context ?

I left that church after 10 years because, they kept preaching the law of the Old Testament and some a lot of their own doctrines, which later I found where made up laws, that they had decided to," hep upon people" like 1^st and 2^nd tithes and even a third 10% tithe, which was for the Levitical priesthood of old Jewish times and ended in 70 A.D.

We are told in (Romans 6:7) that we are freed from sin of the old law and when we have died with Christ. I believe this is where the law of life in Christ Jesus comes forth. Knowing that our old self was crucified with Him when we were buried ( Baptized) with Him into His death on the cross.

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

A major heresy came into the church many centuries ago when man was told that his baptism was the door opener into church membership instead of being in Christ. I want to encourage you to make sure your baptism into the death of Jesus brought the right things into your new walk with Him.

Our church membership is described " But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. (Hebrews 12:22-24).

This is the reason to be baptized to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, which lives in us and who teaches us the new testament, all the time ,and writes the laws written on stone and puts them into our mind and on our hearts! The New Testament is also to kill the old man (our past) from the law by that would kill us all, if it were not for our Messiah’s death and his resurrection ,we are all condemned by the law of commandments, for Jesus was the only man who could keep those Laws given to Moses.

Many church (ministers and Bishops), teach things passed down to them from errors taught to them from their forefathers churches, most of them do not even bother to check if it is right or wrong teachings but, continue in their religion and doctrines because they only study the Bible as their seminaries taught them and do not even see the errors made by the missionaries and priest of old?

Are you one of them or do you study your own Bibles to prove yourself worthy to God?

How many of you have gone to church every weekend, only to be turned off by a church that has preached the HELL OUT OF YOU or some sermon about " a big fish who swallowed Johan" or other stories from the Old Testament and nothing about The kingdom of God or God’s saving Grace through Jesus? How many sermons from different ministers' have either put you to sleep, or scared you so badly that you didn’t want anything to do with God or religion or church going? These questions have been asked by many that are searching for God and His love all the time.

People do not need to hear about a God who hates and wants to BURN people!

God is Love, God is all Forgiving, God sent JESUS to save all of US because He LOVES US! JESUS CHRIST loved you so much that He was willing to hang on a tree till all the life ran out of Him. NOW That is real love!!

Read for yourself in your own bible ( John 3:16) "For GOD so loved the world (That’s you and me) that He gave His only begotten SON so whom so ever shall believe shall not die but have Eternal Life." Then in verse 17 "GOD did not send HIS son into the world to judge it, but to be our Savior" again that’s real love, not condemnation or hellfire!

When Jesus came he preached something besides the Law, Jesus preach about the kingdom of God and what we must do to enter it. You could keep all the laws all 630 of them and still not make it into the kingdom of God because we cannot do anything to make it except by GRACE from God who gives it freely. Amen

"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." ( Mark 1:14-15)

"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." (John 20:31)

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

"For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings, for both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren. " (Heb. 2:10-11)

You know, we have way to many Preachers out there thumping their bibles telling everyone " Repent or the all loving God of the Universe will Burn YOU FOREVER IN HELLFIRE ?.

I want you to stop here just a moment and think about that statement?? .

In (John:15:16) We are called to testify so, this is for those of you whom are ready to grow spiritually, not religiously, those of you who are being Quite and just sitting there, those who are letting other men tell what you need to do all the time? ,wake up. For those who are Quietly listening to others setting in judgment on you, wake up. Yes It is time to wake up for the Kingdom is at hand. Only your heavenly Father can do all the judgments being done in churches today by men and women who are neither good enough or wise enough ! Thanks be to God. GOD ALMIGHTY is truly the God of love and He wants you as a loving son to come to Him because you want to know and love Him.

You can only do this by knowing His word, not because someone scared you with an ever burning hell sermon. Where does JESUS tell anyone in the bible that they will be burned in a ever burning hell forever?? Hell is an English word which means to cover up, or hole in the ground・ Look for it in you own bibles Hell Fire and people burning forever is not there!

All JESUS ever told people was to repent [which means to change the way you live] go and sin no more. Gods word is in the bible, do you know Gods word? You better pick up that Bible of yours and learn before He gets back to ask you why you donut. Don・t be freaked out because you where thrown out of some church or left on your own because you did not agree with what some mans organized church said was Gods way. Maybe they even said that you are wrong but you must remember that JESUS died for your sins because He loved you before the foundations of this world where laid. He died because He loved you .

"that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:15-21)

Read the words yourself do not rely on just those behind some pulpit who may or may not be reading their own Bibles and MAY BE WRONG, following some church doctrines of lies which they themselves where taught? Do you believe in the word of God or the word of some Pastor hired by some board to preach church doctrine? I always say, "prove all things with your bibles" then by studying the word of God (Bible) you will know the true Gospel of YESHUA / Jesus himself! YESHUA / Jesus preached, Salvation by Grace which is the Good News, and that of the coming kingdom of God, ON this earth, where we will live with God the Father forever!!

Jesus said "But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men." I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? " (John 5:43-44)

DO NOT JUST FOLLOW SOME CHURCH THAT TELLS YOU THEY HAVE THE ONLY TRUTH, BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT EVEN BE FOLLOWING JESUS OR WHAT HE TAUGHT, they are most likely FOLLOWING CHURCH DOGMA AND OTHER MEN MADE DOCTRINES! We all need to quit fighting over doctrines and church issues and remember who we are following, even some who follow a little different path but are still following the Lord are of the Lord?

I have heard other so called "Christians" say, "all those Catholics are not Christians like us or them old Jews with all their laws won’t make it either because, they don’t know Jesus Christ ,they killed him? We all are responsible for killing Christ! Brethren at some time in your own life you didn’t know Jesus either, maybe you still don’t know Him ,if your one with this kind of attitude Jesus said repent and be Baptized and believe in him?

Jesus loved the whole world and "HE DIED FOR ALL MANKIND TO BE SAVED" not, just a few who think they have all the truth, remember "HE WHO BELIEVES AND CONFESSES WITH HIS TONGUE IS SAVED......

We should all respect each other's spiritual journey and path, and have a willingness to come together in fellowship to spread the Gospel about the Good News of Jesus Yeshua ,regardless of our differences of worship style or minor doctrines, if it is not unto salvation then don’t fight over it. Amen and Amen!

" Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." (John 17:20-23)

For we are all for Yeshua our Lord, are we not? We here at Simple Salvation Church of God stand with JESUS!

Jesus is suppose to be our Leader, Master, Brother and Friend, like most families-- we can differ in our walk but, we are to come into agreement when it comes to following our Father and His will, RIGHT?

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

These verses sum it all up very nicely. We need to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, especially in matters of understanding. This means submitting our wills (and our egos) to Him? How many people are truly doing this, how many are really studying His word? How many just go along with what the Minister says?

From the looks of it, I would guess not too many. If we could all just learn to rely on God to give us understanding instead of trying so hard to understand on our own, "our paths would be made straight" and maybe we could finally be in agreement that it is all about our Lord Jesus, for he did it all so we can be one family!

Jesus said " if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." (John. 11:40-44)

You see Even if we die, yet ,shall we live. If we believe as the Bible tells us to believe we can never really die. Remember the mustered seed of faith? I have one taped in my bible, it is the same size as the period at the end of the sentence ( . ) very small seed isn’t it?

Yet to our shame,most do not have that much? DO YOU HAVE FAITH or NOT?Ask yourself,what do I believe in?

We all need help to believe because we are weak yet the Lord is strong as he tells this man after raising his child "And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief" (Mark 9:24)

Let us all Pray for our unbelief, lets be strong in our faith and belief, for the day of the Lord is at hand! Invite your Father God, to do within you what Jesus tells you to do within him. Therefore repeat what he has given all of us to say and do and that is to spread the Gospel of Christ to ever creature. Jesus’ message which has never unchanged ! No , not (for the sake of any ministry /church or man) but, by doing as Jesus Himself preached to all "THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE".

This is the Gospel of Good News ,the gospel is the soon coming Kingdom of God here on earth.Be a Good servant, by doing what God himself has given you to say, to those who have no life in them and are still lost in the ways of the world; God Himself has "condemned already" those with unbelief in His only begotten Son, who was sent not to save the world then, yet, rather to save those who will have 'Yeshua Messiah' to reign over them and free them from bondage to the ways of this world.

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."(Heb. 12:1-3)

It is all about Jesus our Yeshua Messiah and our belief in the words he brought and by which he saved us all. DON’T JUST BE A FOLLOWER, READ the Bible YOURSELF!

Before he went to the cross, Jesus told his disciples that they should not be divided. In a moving prayer, he asked God to make all his followers one, united in the Father's love."My prayer is not for them alone," said Jesus of his first disciples. "I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in me and I am in You. May they also be in Us... that they may be one as We are One... May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent me and have loved them even as You have loved me." (John 17:20-23)

We all need to quit judging one another and pray for the unity to worship our Messiah and for His soon coming kingdom Amen! "…let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." (Revelation 2:7)

ALL IS DONE BY THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM IN CHRIST! "Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God."(Romans 7:4-6)

I live by my faith, as the Holy Spirit calls and leads me into all freedom, to see, not from the VAIL of the Old Law anymore but, from my heavenly priest "YESHUA Messiah" who now sits at the right hand of Yahweh our God and who holds my personal salvation and your salvation in his hands."Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."(Hebrews 6:12) The promise is to live forever in the kingdom and government of our Father God Amen and Amen!

Ask yourself , "Are you one who believes through faith in Jesus Christ or are you one who believes in some church who preaches doctrines and laws to keep and by these deny Grace given to us by the blood of our Lord and master Yeshua Messiah? Amen

THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING JEHOVAH/YAHWEH’S PASSOVER AND JESUS/YAHSHUA’S MEMORIAL “LAST SUPPER”

The pass-over (Pesah) is the first part of the "feast of Unleavened bread.” It lasts seven days, from Nisan/Abib 15 thru Nisan/Abib 21 of Jehovah/Yahweh's holy calendar. Nisan/Abib 14 was set aside as a "day of preparation" for the Passover Festival. Just as putting sin (leaven) out of OUR lives, as Christians is a part of OUR PASSOVER, so was the cleaning out of the Israelites houses of all leaven and leavened products. They also had to clean and purge themselves ceremonially with sacrifices and ritual bathing. This had to be done before the pass-over lamb could be sacrificed and before they could hold the pass-over festival. This was all in obedience to the law (Torah). The ancient Jews did this on "the day of preparation." That is the day before the seven day pass-over festival began. Later, some Jews included this day [preparation day] as an eighth day of the pass-over celebration and “feast of Unleavened bread.”

THE DAY OF PREPARATION ~ IT'S IMPORTANCE

The day of preparation is so important that the apostle John started in chapter twelve, six days before the Passover as an introduction to chapter thirteen which began his discussion of the events on the day of preparation. John then wrote seven more chapters, from chapter thirteen thru chapter nineteen, about what happened on that fateful day. He concluded with verse 42 saying, "So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there." RV. Thru-out this discussion, WE must remember that the Jewish day starts at sundown, in the evening. This is in harmony with what Jehovah/Yahweh said in Genesis 1:5, "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." KJV.

To Christians the "feast of unleavened bread" pictures our willingness to put sin out of our lives. This feast or festival was preceded by the "preparation day." This "day" is of great importance to understand when Jesus/Yahshua had the "last supper" with his disciples, and to understand the difference between "Jesus/Yahshua's Memorial supper" and "Jehovah/Yahweh's Passover" seven day festival, still held by the Jews. IT gives us the true understanding of the three synoptic gospel writers words of Mathew 26:17, Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:7. By this study, we can easily identify the day and time period they spoke about. So, the key to understanding those words are made clear when we study just what the "the day of preparation" was for and when it occurred.

Because we put sin out of our lives and accept that "Christ OUR Passover has been sacrificed", the death penalty has been commuted in our case, and has been passed over in our lives. 1 Cor. 5:7. But, not that of the world at this time. Therefore, WE have "passed over from death to life." John 5:24. Also, WE as the Jews did, must continually rid OURSELVES of sin. This is especially so during a period of preparation, to purge or sanctify OURSELVES from sin and be able to take of the memorial emblems [the unleavened bread and fruit of the vine] "worthily" with a clean heart and mind.

OUR brother Paul/Shaul said about this matter, "First let a man approve himself after scrutiny, and thus let him eat of the loaf and drink of the cup." And, "if we would discern what WE OURSELVES ARE, we would not be judged. However, when we are judged we are disciplined by Jehovah [Yahweh], that we may not be condemned with the world." 1Cor. 11:28,31,32 NW. See Heb.9:14; 2 Cor 7:1.

The Jews did this purging of sin, by ritual bathing and sacrificing as a symbolic act of sanctification on their preparation day that started the evening of the 13th of Nisan/Abib, which began the 14th day of Nisan/Abib and ended the next evening at sunset which began the 15th day of Nisan/Abib, the Passover night. As most all of the early Christians were Jews, they could easily understand the significance of John the Baptist "preaching baptism [in symbol] of repentance, for forgiveness of sins." Luke 3:3 NW.

These are the roots of baptism. Speaking of Noah's family being saved thru the flood, Peter explains Christian baptism saying, "this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand." 1Peter 3:21;Ps. 110:1 NIV.

The "day of preparation," on Nisan/Abib 14, was known as the day "before" [Gr. proto, Strongs G 4253 "foremost", "before", see Matt.26:17 NW footnote and Diaglott footnote] the feast of pass-over and of "unleavened bread" started. This "feast of unleavened bread" began at sundown of Nisan/Abib 14, which started the beginning of Nisan/Abib 15, on which night the pass-over meal (pesach) was eaten. The next day, still Nisan/Abib 15, the Israelites left Egypt.

Today, to many Jews the day of preparation (cleaning the leaven [chomez] from their houses) includes Nisan/Abib 13th. And the Jews in the diaspora or dispersion have an eight day festival of "unfermented cakes" [which includes Nisan/Abib 14], while the Jews living in Israel celebrate it for seven days; which would have been the case in the first century. Nisan/Abib 14, the day of preparation, was and is a traditional fast day for all of the Jewish first born sons. So IT is still understood and participated in by those in Israel and else-where. Few Christians know of the Jewish preparation day and fewer still bother to study and understand it. We should, for this day Nisan/Abib 14, gives US a great deal of information for under-standing the basis of much Christian symbolism and doctrine.

The preparation day on the 14th day of Nisan/Abib was when the lamb was to be sacrificed, "between the two evenings." Ex. 12:6. (This is one of the thousands of KJV mis-translations, see Rotherham's Emphasized Bible or New World Translation) They were to start examining themselves that evening, particularly the priests who did the sacrificing and officiating, and after approving themselves were to prepare the HOUSE by cleaning it of all leaven [which signifies sin]. This was all to be done before the lamb was sacrificed the next day, starting at about three p.m. according to the tradition of the Jewish sect of the Sadducees who controlled the temple in those days.

Preparation day included all inside and outside activities, including splattering the blood on the door frames, which had to be done before sundown, or sunset on Nisan/ Abib 14. They were not allowed outside of their houses after they splattered the pass-over victims blood on their door post and lintels, which began Nisan/Abib 15 when the sun went down. See, Ex. 12:7, 22. This occurred at the end of the day of "preparation", when Nisan/Abib 14 was over at sunset. Then they were to roast the lamb whole and eat it with bitter herbs and unleavened bread after sunset of the 14th which began Nisan/Abib 15. "And they must eat the flesh on this night." Ex. 12: 8,9. That night was Nisan/Abib the 15th.

The day after "preparation day", Nisan/Abib 15, was always a Sabbath, (regardless of the day of the week it occurred) and started the seven day feast of unleavened bread that concluded on the 21st day which also was always a Sabbath. "In the first month [Nisan/Abib], on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening [which began the 15th] you are to eat unfermented cakes down till the twenty-first day of the month in the evening. Seven days no sourdough is to be found in your houses, because anyone tasting what is leavened ..... that soul must be cut off from the assembly of Israel. Nothing leavened are you to eat. In all of your dwellings you are to eat unfermented cakes." Ex. 12:18-20 NW.

"And on the fifteenth day of this month [Nisan/Abib] is Jehovah's [Yahweh's] festival of unfermented cakes. Seven days you should eat unfermented cakes. On the first day [Nisan/Abib 15] you will have a holy convention [a Sabbath]. No sort of laborious work may you do. You must present an offering made by fire to Jehovah [Yahweh] seven days. On the seventh day [Nisan/Abib 21] there will be a holy convention [Sabbath]. No sort of laborious work may you do. Lev. 23:6-8 NW.

Jesus died on preparation day, the 14th of Nisan/Abib at about the 9th hour, about three in the afternoon. He was sacrificed as all of the other Passover lambs had been. This happened about the same time that the priests started sacrificing their "pass-over victims." That evening, the PASSOVER NIGHT of the 15th of Nisan/Abib, was a high holy day and it, itself was a Sabbath occurring on the regular Sabbath day that year. This day, the 15th, which started at sundown on the 14th, was to be a "memorial forever" to Jehovah/Yahweh. [Heb. "olam", vanishing point, or to 'time indefinite'] Ex. 12:14-20 "This selfsame" night was to be observed by the Israelites. Compare Ex. 12:40-42 and Num. 33:3,4.

John 13:1,2 reports that Jesus knew before the pass-over, his hour had come. "Now, because he knew before the festival of the pass-over that his hour had come for him to move out of this world to the Father ..... So, while the evening meal was going on .....", Judas, went out "into the night" to betray him. John 13:30 NW, This was not the Passover night of Nisan 15, as it was against the law for anyone to go outside and/or be buying or selling on any Sabbath. To verify this, Exodus 12:22 says that on that night, "none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning." KJV.

Since it was not the Pass-over night, the disciples did not think it unusual that Jesus would send Judas outside that night. '"Some, in fact, were imagining, since Judas was holding the money box, that Jesus was telling him: "Buy what things you need for the festival."' John13:29 NW. Meaning that the Pass-over festival had not started, as yet. It was still before the Pass-over festival. The Pass-over was not that night, but rather, in the future. For Jesus would certainly not have "unlawfully" sent Judas out into the Pass-over night to be killed. Nor would Jesus disciples be going outside that night. On the Passover night of Nisan 15 it was against the law for anyone to go outside by God's command. Pass-over night was a high holy day and a Sabbath.

"it was early morning"

Further information on this preparation 'day' is given in John 18:28, 29. The Jews had already cleaned their houses of leaven and taken their ritual baths, performed their ritual prayers and sacrifices to cleanse themselves of person and spirit. Being in this condition, they could not go anywhere deemed traditionally unclean. That same night of Nisan/Abib 14, preparation day, the 'chief priests and Pharisees' had Jesus arrested. John says, "Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor [Pontius Pilate]. By now it was early morning and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace, they wanted to be able to eat the Passover [the next evening which began Nisan/Abib 15]. So Pilate came out to them." NIV.

They had already gone to considerable effort to make themselves ceremonially clean and did not want to defile themselves so that they could eat the Passover. For this purpose, there were ritual bathing pools scattered all over Jerusalem. John 11:55 says about this practice, "And the Jews pass-over was nigh at hand and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem, before the pass-over, to purify them-selves." KJV. This was done by all religious Jews in obedience to Jehovah/Yahweh's command to purify themselves, before the pass-over festival.

"Now it was the day of Preparation"

Examining John 19:14-16 from the Amplified Bible, we see more events happening later on that same day of Nisan/Abib 14, the "preparation day." "Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about the sixth hour [about twelve o'clock noon, as the Jews started their time from daybreak or dawn]. He [Pilate] said to the Jews see [here is] your king!" The Jews shouted, take him away and crucify him, impale him. "We have no king but Caesar." Finally Pilate handed Jesus "over to them to be crucified."

Still later that day, of Nisan/Abib 14, preparation day, Jesus was now dying on the torture stake. '"Knowing that all was now completed ..... Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."' John 19:28-39. NIV. John now continues, "Now it was the day of preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. [Jewish high holy day] Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have their legs broken and the bodies be taken down ..... But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs." John 19:31-33 NIV.

"Later", still on Nisan/Abib 14, preparation day, "Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus ..... with Pilate's permission he came back and took the body away ..... accompanied by Nicodemus ..... Taking Jesus body, the two of them wrapped it with the spices in strips of linen. This was all in accordance with the Jewish burial custom." There, "was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there." John 19:38-42. NIV.

PREPARATION DAY AND THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS

With the foregoing information WE KNOW when Jesus/Yahshua the Christ/Messiah was impaled and died. It was on the same day in which all of the other "pass-over victims" were sacrificed. Mathew 27:40; Mark 15:34 and Luke 23:44-46 ALL agree that the Lord died about the ninth hour (3:00 PM) on Nisan/Abib 14, "the day of preparation", when the Jews sacrificed the Passover "victims." The apostle John agrees with this as seen above. The historian Josephus also says that the Jews sacrificed from 3 PM to 5 PM. He says that during the last pass-over festival held at the temple in Jerusalem in 69-70 A.D., "their feast which is called Pass-over, when they slay their sacrifices from the ninth hour to the eleventh, [about 3PM to 5PM] found the number of sacrifices was 256,500." Wars 6, 9, 3.

MATHEWS ACCOUNT

A seeming problem is brought up by some when reading three passages in the gospels that appear on the surface to contradict John's gospel. However, they disappear when investigated. The first one is at Matt. 26:17, which says, '"On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the pass-over?"' NIV.

Let US examine the ancient Greek word for that text. The word translated "first" in the King James Version bible is the word "protos". Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance says that protos, G4413, is a contractive superlative of G4253; [meanings] "foremost in time, place order, importance -- before, beginning, best chief(est), first (of all), former" So, it could be rendered any of these meanings. But, it appears that with all of the fore-going information from John's gospel, that the word would best be translated before rather than "first", altho both are correct. The information contained below will help us to determine the correct meaning of G4413.

"When evening came"

In Matt. 26:19 and 20 it says, "So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Pass-over [Roman Thrusday, during the day] ..... When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve." Verse 30 says, "When they had sung a hymn they went out to the mount of Olives." If this was Passover night, Jesus and his disciples would have violated the law, because they went outside that night. But, we know that Jesus kept the law perfectly and would NOT have violated the law by going outside on Passover night nor would he have sent anyone else out. So G4413 must be rendered as before not first. The concluding part of Mathew chapter 26 tells of things that happened the rest of that night.

Later that evening, Matt. 26:47-55 NIV, gives information about Jesus arrest by those "sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people." That would make the "chief priests and elders also in violation of the Law and subject to death. It simply could not happen after the Pass-over meal. The scripture says they "sent a large crowd armed with swords and clubs. Sending such a "large crowd would mean that they would not be able to hide it. Everyone would have known about such Unlawfulness!! This would make the elders and chief priests worthy of death. They would not have risked it.

"Early in the morning"

Mathew chapter 27 gives US some enlightening information. Verse one says, "Early in the morning [Roman Friday], all the chief priests and the elders of the people came to the decision to put Jesus to death." It was still the same day, that started the evening before. It was still "preparation day". That day, "From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour [3PM] Jesus cried out...." and died. Verse 45.

" As evening approached"

"As evening approached, [that same day, preparation day, Nisan 14] there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate he asked for Jesus' body." He "took the body" ..... "and placed it in his own new tomb." Matt. 27:57-60 NIV. This was still on "preparation day", BEFORE the Pass-over night.

The religious leaders of the Jews were guilty of bribery, conspiracy, perversion of justice, terrorism and mob action, all in violation of Yahweh's divine laws. Ex. 23:1-3; Deut. 16:19; They bore false witness against one more righteous than themselves. Ex. 20:16. They unlawfully incited to riot demanding Jesus' death on the Roman torture stake and set the murderer Barabbas free in place of Jesus. Matt. 27:15-26. All this happened on Preparation Day before Jehovah/Yahweh’s pass-over occurred. While they violated the Law (Torah) in those ways they could still cover it up. So, they would not have blatantly went out their houses on the night of the Pass-over celebration.

"The next day" they WENT TO PILATE

Even more enlightening information is presented in Matt. 27:62-65 NIV. Because they could not go out on Passover night [Nisan/Abib 15] they had to wait until the next day. So, "The next day, [Roman Saturday] the one after Preparation Day [Nisan 15}, the chief priest and Pharisees went to Pilate." Altho this was their "Sabbath", they did this in order for the tomb to be made secure so that Jesus' "disciples could not come and steal the body and tell the people that he had been raised from the dead." Matt. 27:62-65.

They said, "This last deception will be worse than the first." "So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard." Also, they could now go to Pilate, and not become ceremonially unclean, because they had already eaten the Passover meal the night before. For it was now after preparation day [Nisan/Abib 14]. It was "the next day" [the 15th], the Sabbath.

"After the Sabbath"

Mathew further identifies this time period saying, "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, [That is Roman Sunday] Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb." An angel was there who told them that Jesus was risen from the dead and to go tell his disciples. Matt. 28:1-7 NIV.

MARK'S ACCOUNT

Mark 14:1 introduces us to when the Passover was to begin. That being Nisan/Abib 15. "Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away ...." One day later, in verse 12, Mark uses the same word, protos, that Mathew used for the same event. But, Mark gives US more information for understanding "when" it was. Mark includes the "preparation day" with the seven day Passover festival saying, '"On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, [which was always on Nisan/Abib 14, Preparation day] Jesus disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover.?"' Mark 14:12 NIV. The disciples wanted to prepare the Passover location, by cleaning it of all leaven as it was prescribed in the Law (Torah), because it was the time for it, the preparation day.

Jesus disciples were God fearing Jews and wanted to obey the Law (Torah). That is why His disciples asked where Jesus wanted them to "make preparations for you to eat the Pass-over." They had to go to the place and clean it up from all leaven. As Jews they would naturally do this on the day prescribed for it. That is/was on preparation day. After that they could legally hold the Pass-over festival at the prescribed time; But not before. Exodus 12:15-20, gives Jehovah/Yahweh's command regarding the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days it was and is held. From the evening of Nisan/ Abib 15, when the pass-over lamb was eaten thru the evening of Nisan/Abib 21. Both Nisan/ Abib 15th and the 21st were Sabbaths.

So Mark is telling US that it was not yet the Passover date of Nisan/Abib 15. He is telling US that it was the day before the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread. It was the beginning of the "day of preparation". The day set aside for cleaning out of all leaven and leaven products and the day of sacrificing the Passover lamb.

From Mark 14:12 thru Mark 15:41 WE find a running description of what went on that night and the next day. Mark continues, and gives US the EXACT DAY that he has been describing. He says, "It was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath)" [This Sabbath was two Sabbaths on the same day. The normal seventh day Sabbath and the Passover date of Nisan/Abib 15 which was always a Sabbath]. "Joseph of Arimathea .... asked for Jesus body.... bought some linen cloth ... took down the body, wrapped it in linen, and placed it in a tomb." Mark 15:42-46 NIV.

Mark has told US that Jesus/Yahshua DIED on preparation day. The day before the Passover festival on Nisan/Abib 15, which was always a Sabbath. And certainly Joseph could not have "bought" any linen on the Passover night, as it was not only a Sabbath, but a double Sabbath, making IT A HIGH HOLY DAY . This scripture at Mark 15:42 also explains Exodus 12:6 where the King James Version is again guilty of mistranslations saying that "Israel shall kill it [the Pass-over lamb] in the evening." Using only Strongs H6153, Hebrew, "ereb", from 6150 meaning: dusk, - + day even (ing, tide) night. The same words are correctly translated from the Hebrew as, "between the two evenings." That would indicate that a day would intervene “between the two evenings” which would correctly make the sacrifice on the day of preparation.  That was Nisan 14, the day of preparation.

The same Hebrew expression, "Bane Ha-Erebim" [literally between the evenings] is also found at Exodus 16:12; Ex. 30:8; Ex. 29:39, 41; Lev.23:5; Num. 9:3; as "between the two evenings." Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, pp. 652 gives the whole definition of the word #6153 as "between the two evenings." Even the King James Version translate Mark 15:42, "And now when the even [evening] was come, because it was the preparation, that is the day before the Sabbath." That is, the day before, Nisan/Abib 15, when the Passover victim was eaten..

LUKE'S ACCOUNT

Luke 22:1 gives us the setting for his account. '"Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus." NIV.

Next Luke identifies just "when" the events were taking place. "Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."' "So they prepared the Passover." Luke 22:7 NIV. A better translations of this text would be, So they prepared FOR the Passover. The day that the lamb had to be sacrificed was Nisan/Abib 14. As shown above this was preparation day, as Jehovah/Yahweh's Pass-over Feast was not to start until the next evening of Nisan/Abib 15, at sundown.

"This Passover" ~ JESUS/YAHSHUA'S PASSOVER

Luke 22:15,16 Jesus said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I will not eat of it, till it shall be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." Diaglott, original Greek= "I say to you, that [no more] not not I may eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the kingdom of the God." Jesus knew he was to give his life as the ransom the next afternoon, when the symbolic lambs were sacrificed. So, just when did Jesus say those words?

The answer is in Luke 22:7 where it says, "The day of the unfermented cakes now arrived, on which the pass-over victim must be sacrificed." The "pass-over victim" prefigured what Jesus/Yahshua would be. That is, what John the Baptist said, “ see the "lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world." John 1:29 NW. He died on the same day at about the same time that the Pass-over lambs were sacrificed.

Jesus/Yahshua was sacrificed on that day of Nisan/Abib 14. Jehovah/ Yahweh's Pass-over Feast was not to start until the next evening, Nisan/Abib 15. You may also notice that NONE of the four gospel writers refers to any sacrificial LAMB being on the table during Jesus last supper. But, there would be unleavened bread, as the disciples had just cleaned the place of all leaven and leavened products. They would have wanted to keep it clean for Jehovah/Yahweh's Pass-over meal, to be held the next evening, on Nisan 15.

So, just what Passover was Jesus talking about, when he said "this pass-over?"  It was not Jehovah's Passover!! That festival was to be held the next night on Nisan 15. "This Pass-over" was His Pass-over for HIS FOLLOWERS!! Jesus was instituting something entirely NEW. He became, not only the sacrifice as the “lamb of God” but also "the mediator of a new covenant " Heb. 12:23, 24 NW. A new covenant? Yes, Jesus "Pass-over", to be held as His Memorial, was to institute a new covenant and also a second covenant for a kingdom. Two distinct and separate covenants instituted by the same ceremony.

Luke 22:19 and 20 gives us the particulars of instituting the new covenant: '"Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them saying: "This mean’s my body which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me. Also, the cup, in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: "This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood which is to be poured out in your behalf."' Luke 22:19,20 NW. See prophecy of Jeremiah 31:31-34 and compare Heb. 9:15-20. All of this in distinct contrast to the Law covenant of Moses.

The Lord continues in Luke's account about the second [new] covenant saying, "YOU are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with YOU [the disciples representing Jesus bride and the Abrahamic covenant] just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom." Why? "that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom [not David’s kingdom], and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel." Luke 22:28-30 NW. This will be Kingdom rule from heaven by those "redeemed, bought, purchased from the earth." See Psalm 89:3,4; Psalm 110:1-8; Dan. 2:44; Rev.14:1-5. David’s promised kingdom is to be one here on the earth, not it heaven.

Thus his bride or "little flock" as heavenly "rulers" over the earth, would be able to judge the earthly "rulers" of the twelve tribes of Israel. (Compare Rev. 7:2-8 who will be the earthly Rulers) Why? Because that would insure a just, righteous and wise rule on the earth by those on the earth, appointed as a "faithful and wise" steward [slave] "over all of my belongings." In Revelation 7:2-8, Yahshua, thru John, identifies the earthly rulers as “Sons of Israel.” In Matt. 24:45-51 He says that these earthly rulers would become that "faithful and wise steward” spoken of above. And then in Matt. 25:31-46 He gives reasons for their appointment, as Kings to an earthly "kingdom, prepared for them from the founding of the world" [the Hebrew world, due to Jehovah/Yahweh’s promise to Abraham], when Jesus/ Yahshua returns.

"This Passover", that Jesus "greatly desired to eat" with his disciples, was for what Jehovah/Yahweh's Passover represented, namely, the saving of the first born. Specifically, His sacrifice was for what He called, "the little flock", His Bride!! He said, "Have no fear, little flock, because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the kingdom." Luke 12:32. NW. Of course it was also for the purpose of buying mankind for himself by means of the sacrifice that he provided as a "ransom" for the human race. Matt. 20:28.

That is why the Apostle Paul differentiated between Jesus' Passover and the Jews Passover by saying, "Clear away the old leaven, [the sin of the old law covenant] that YOU may be a new lump, according as YOU are free from ferment. For indeed, Christ OUR Passover, has been sacrificed. So, let US keep the festival [of Christ OUR Passover's sacrifice], not with old leaven [of the sin old law covenant] ..... but with unfermented cakes of sincerity and truth." 1Cor. 5:7,8 NW.

Luke 23:54 agrees with both Mark and John as to "when" Jesus Passover was held. "It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin." It was still the 14th day of Nisan/Abib, the "preparation day” of the Jews, when the "pass-over victim" was sacrificed. The Sabbath was nigh as it came at sunset which commenced the 15th of Nisan/Abib the actual pass-over date, when the pass-over meal was eaten.

On the next night was Jehovah/Yahweh's Passover. On Nisan/Abib 15, 1513 BCE the angel of death passed over the Israelites houses. Ex. 12:17. But those without the blood on their door posts and lintels were not passed over. The first born of every human and animal were killed by the same angel of death, that "selfsame" night.

CONCLUSION

Does the memorial of Jesus/Yahshua's death replace or supplant the Passover memorial of Jehovah/Yahweh? That is for you to decide, but realize this: Paul said, "Christ OUR PASSOVER has been sacrificed." That must mean that HIS SACRIFICE replaces the Passover for His followers, as He has become OUR PASSOVER. That is, He is taking the place of the Passover lamb in OUR case. The Memorial supper itself does not replace the Passover meal. It is a different memorial celebration entirely. For it is a REMINDER for US [to be held at least annually] to keep remembering what He has done for US by His death. "For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives." 1Cor. 11:26.

The foregoing shows conclusively that Nisan/Abib 14 was the "preparation day" of the Jews and was the day that Jesus/Yahshua was sacrificed as "the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!". John 1:29

It shows that Jesus/Yahshua instituted His Memorial on the evening of Nisan/Abib 14 and died the next afternoon of that "self-same day."

It shows that Jesus/Yahshua's "last supper" was not eaten on the pass-over night, but rather the "day before", that is the evening before the "pass-over" began, on the day of "preparation."

It shows that later that day, that is the next afternoon, He died for OUR sins and not only our but for the whole world of mankind.

It shows that the Jews ate the pass-over meal on Nisan/Abib 15, after the pass-over 'victim' was slain, on Nisan/Abib 14.

It shows that there are two different memorials being spoken of:

 (1) Jehovah/Yahweh's memorial of the pass-over, held on Nisan/Abib 15. Ex. 12:14

 (2) Jesus/Yahshua's "last supper" memorial of his death on Nisan/Abib 14, preparation day. Luke 22:19b.

It is hoped that this essay will stir everyone's interest in this subject and give it more study and appreciation.

Your brother in Christ, Ed Allen, orgfree1@gmail.com

 We find to us that the sins with which we have committed are pictured by the symbolism of bread made with leavening—thus, we have now come forth from this by ridding our lives of leavening and for seven days, we eat unleavened bread—remembering that leavening puffs up—thus, our sins are like leavening as the sins also puff up.

 When God had taken Israel forth from bondage in Egypt, He had instructed that for “seven days you shall eat unleavened bread”—Exodus 12:15. In v.39, we read that “And they baked unleavened cakes of the doug which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.”

 Leavening is an agent which puffs up (causes dough to rise) such as yeast, baking powder baking soda and so forth. Israel had no time at all to spare when they came out from Egypt, so therefore, they had baked and ate flat bread. What started out as a need continued on for a week. God thus appropriately named this week the Days of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6) or also known as the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

 When Jesus had come to earth in human flesh, he kept this seven day festival—sometimes known as the Feast of Passover by the Jews since the days of Unleavened Bread was also immediately after the Passover, so that joining the two feasts could be one—and in fact, Passover themes do in a way carry over into the Days of Unleavened Bread. Jesus kept this festival as a child and as an adult (Luke 2:41; Matthew 26:17). The early Church of God, imitating Jesus in His religious practices, kept it as well.

The Earliest Instructions and the Teachings of Jesus

 God has also given to us His instructions concerning this feast to the Israelites as they had prepared to leave behind Egypt—a symbol of sin! “For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat—that is all you may do”—Exodus 12:14-16, NIV. So then, this time period of seven days, with the first and the last being annual Sabbaths or in other words, Holy Days, is sacred to God’s people!

 Every year as the Israelites kept the feast, it had given to them a reminder of God’s intervention for them from Egypt and bringing them forth from their bondage. The Creator further also instructed for us to “Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your division out of Egypt”—v. 17, NIV. The very Exodus from Egypt has remained as a foundational purpose of keeping this feast in our very day—for just as God has delivered ancient Israel, so also He has delivered true Christians from their sins and their difficulties.

 Notice what Jesus taught concerning leavening, which expands the very meaning and purpose of the feast. During His ministry, Jesus performed two miracles in the which a few fish and a few loaves of bread had fed thousands of people. After one of these two occasions, when His disciples had went around the Sea of Galilee, they had forgotten to take with them bread. So Jesus told them to “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees”—Matthew 16:5-6, NASB.

 While they had thought that Jesus was getting onto them about forgetting to bring bread, He was using this as a time to teach them about leavening. Jesus asked them “How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they “understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees”—vs. 11-12, NASB.

 Just as it is today, some of those of the religious communities around us will often appear to be righteous, even having what may very well be good teachings, but yet, what they practice in their behavior may well be different. Jesus had told the disciples to be cautious of these types of people because they are sinful in their deeds. They might appear to be righteous on the outside, but on the inside, they are sinful. Jesus also told them that “you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness”—Matthew 23:28. The Pharisees and the Sadducees never liked hearing Jesus tell them this—this is one reason that they betrayed Jesus and killed Him.

 The Days of Unleavened Bread is put in place to remind us that with God’s help, we are to remove and avoid all types of sin—symbolized by leaven—in all the various areas of our lives.

Continued Importance of the Feast

 During the days of Unleavened Bread, the apostle Paul had taught the very same spiritual lessons that Jesus taught, invoking the comparison of sin to leavening. In the context of reprimanding the Corinthian congregation for its divisions, jealousies and tolerance of sexual misconduct, Paul had told them that “Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth”—1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

 The Church in Corinth obviously kept and observed the Days of Unleavened Bread, to which Paul had repeatedly alluded. But, Paul also used the Corinthians’ faithful obedience in keeping the feast physically (removing leavening from their homes) as a reason to encourage them to also celebrate the feast with a proper understanding of spiritual intent as well as the letter of the law. Basically, Paul was not only speaking of the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law—telling them that they also need to remove from their lives all sin.

 Today, we remove leavening from our homes for seven days which remind us that we also, through prayer and God’s help and real understanding, must take sin out of every area of our lives. The Days of Unleavened Bread is that time of the year in which we come to personally reflect upon our lives, looking to see what there is in our lives that are not appropriate. Thus, we need to meditate on our attitudes and conduct and ask always for God’s help for us to overcome our sins.

 Paul also spoke of this self-reflection in 2 Corinthians 13:5 when he had said “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”

 Paul therefore had explained the significance of the phrase “Jesus Christ is in you” in this verse from Galatians 2:20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me”—KJV.

 Thus, throughout the seven days of the feast, we are to always be examining ourselves, looking at us and seeing what we need to remove. For we need to remove from ourselves on a daily basis sin—sin which actually is what leavens (puffs) us up and makes us become very full of all manner of sin and pride.

 A Spiritual Lesson Is To Be Applied!

 When we do that which is required of us, we are able to learn. We learn spiritual reasons by doing physical things. Performing the task of taking leavening out of our homes is what will teach us to watch ourselves and remove sin from our lives. We will remember that God knows that, in spite of good intentions, we will sin and make mistakes.

 Many years after his conversion, Paul had talked of the powerful human desire to sin: “I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—[deliverance will come] through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin”—Romans 7:21-25.

 Paul had also known life itself is a real battle with sin. The Bible also speaks of “the sin which so easily ensnares us”—Hebrews 12:1. We therefore have our own role to play in overcoming sin and getting sin out of our own lives. As we work toward ridding our lives of sin, we will remember that we must be always be vigilant in this effort to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do his good pleasure”—Philippians 2:12-13, KJV.

 Indeed, Paul did not end this about struggling with sin in Romans 7 on the seemingly hopeless note of remaining enslaved to sin. He also went on in chapter 8 to further show to us that we can also be freed of he way of sin and death—with the aid of Christ through the Holy Spirit.

 Our observance of the Days of Unleavened Bread will allow us to realize our need for Jesus’ help in getting past our sins and weaknesses and allow us to become the type of overcomers that Jesus wants to have as His fellow leaders in the coming Kingdom of God (Revelation 3:11-12) so that we can be true Christians as well in this present age. Remembering that Jesus was the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins is a reality of the Passover and leaving our sins behind is a reality of the Days of Unleavened Bread—a real purpose for which we come to when we keep the Days of Unleavened Bread. Remember that Jesus continues to help us to put sin out of our lives by dwelling in us through the Holy Spirit—God’s true active force that leads in us regular repentance and empowers us to live in obedience to God’s way of life!

The Importance of The Lords Supper and Foot Washing!

By Jimmie Warren

 As we try to show the importance of the meaning of the wine and bread, and what "foot washing" is all about, let us examine the facts:This years service is at sunset night of Thursday April 5th 2012

The Passover ( Lord's Supper ) represents the sacrifice of Christ which pays for the sins of all who repent and accept it in faith. It also represents partaking of eternal life through Jesus Christ (shown by the taking of the bread and wine which symbolize His body and blood).

Y’shua/Jesus met with His disciples at the beginning of the 14th of Nisan.. It is clear not only from the gospel of John that He had the Last Supper a full day earlier than the Jewish Passover of the Old covenant "Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. (John 18:28), this is also indicated by passing remarks in the Synoptic gospels. (While it is recognized that there are still some unanswered questions in any attempt at harmonizing all four accounts, it is evident that Jesus took His Passover a day earlier than the Jews.) By far this most important festival of Jesus' life was the one at which He was betrayed.

In any case, Y’shua /Jesus at this time changed the symbols of the Passover for Christians and also went through the ceremony of washing the disciples’ feet. This years Passover will be the 17th of April so, beginning at dusk the night before ( April 16^th) we celebrate the Lord's Supper and foot washing as our Lords example!

The most detailed discussion is devoted to the celebration of the Christian Passover.

"Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter." Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head." Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean." So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? "You call Me Teacher and Lord;and you are right, for so I am. "If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. "For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. (John. 13:5-17).

 " For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.1 Corinthian11:17-34)

Following scriptures gives detailed directions on how to take the "Lord's Supper" (kuriakon deipnon) or "communion." The memorial celebration was conducted "on the night when He was betrayed," that is, the evening at the beginning of the 14th ( 23). Y’shua /Jesus The Passover [Lord's Supper] is observed in the evening at the beginning of Nisan 14 in a very solemn ceremony, the most structured of any of the annual assemblies.

In order, is first the foot washing service, then the taking of the bread, and finally the drinking of the wine then closing with song.

Before each part of the ceremony appropriate scriptures are read at the end of these services sing a song or two then, close and dismiss your services.

The purpose of the foot washing ceremony

"... Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord; and ye say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I HAVE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE THAT YE SHOULD DO AS I HAVE DONE TO YOU!" (John 13:12-15).

The bread represents the body of Y'shua Jesus
Jesus is the "bread of life." The eating of the bread and the drinking of the wine represent partaking of the eternal life which only God can give. The beaten body of Christ also represents the stripes He took on His back enabling us to claim the gift of divine healing for our physical infirmities "Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,Smitten of God,and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities;The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,And by His scourging we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5) 

"and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. (1 Peter 2:22-24). The shed blood of Jesus who gave Himself as an offering to pay for all the sins of mankind. That full and complete sacrifice makes it possible for one to have any and all sins forgiven upon repentance.

The wine represents the blood of Y'shua Messiah
The wine also represents the New Covenant made between God and the Christian by the blood of Christ. is explained by Jesus Himself as being to show true humility and the proper sense of service "And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.(Matthew 26:22-30)

No one can be greater than His Lord, who is Jesus Christ; yet Jesus was the greatest servant of all and gave more than anyone else for mankind. This spirit of Christian love and service is expressed symbolically by washing another person's feet and then allowing that person to reciprocate. Jesus left instructions for His disciples to follow.ticle we hope you start your new year off with a fresh start because of Jesus Christ and His great love for you all. Amen!

In the name of our Lord and Master Y’shua

Be blessed and have new life in Him who loves you so much He laid down His life so you could live forever in the wonderful Kingdom of our Father God Amen

I have been asked to leave this article on for more study I hope you enjoy it and may you all be blessed by the real words from God to have life more abundantly.

 "WHY ALL THE HATE WHEN OUR GOD IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND FORGIVENESS?

From the desk of Pastor - Bishop Jimmie Warren

Reconciliation, also called universal salvation, is all about the Love of a Kind Almighty Father and Creator who wants ALL HIS CHILDREN to learn about. Him and His Plan of SALVATION FOR ALL! This is our most popular article so enjoy and get out your bibles.

Why do so many ministers preach hate and make statements like these?

1)" your going to get yours when the Son of God gets back?"

2)" If I have to go to church every week, then all you who do not go, need to be burned day and night forever and ever?"

3)"Most of those who call themselves Christians are going to burn because, they all are still sinning and coming to church,"

or the one I really like to hear----

4) " I AM GOING TO MAKE IT BUT, THE REST OF YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL—FOREVER AND EVER" and so many others like these kind of hate statements.

These ministers should all read again about GRACE &Salvation and remember that Yahweh our God who sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON "YESHUA" to save All Mankind!
I ask you all "Is the BLOOD OF YESHUA MESSIAH-JESUS- not good enough for all people or is it only just for the few like them? You Know those who think they are better than everyone else?"

YESHUA -Jesus said "WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD, ONLY THE FATHER IN HEAVEN IS GOOD"

I GUESS SOME MINISTER’S BELIEVE THEY ARE BETTER THAN GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF? Some even call themselves "The Leader" but they are not , "Jesus Christ is our Leader! Do you Know any pastor, bishop or preacher’s like these? Some are false teachers

I have even heard from a T.V. Preacher whose name I’ll leave out, who said "He was of God and heard God’s words himself," then went on to say "More than 85% of all mankind IS Not Going to make it to heaven." WHAT? That means BILLIONS WILL BE IN HELL? Ask yourself would our all loving Father in heaven sit and watch His creation burn in hell fire forever?This is a Satan lies and sick at that!

These kinds of ministers’ MUST BE HEARING WORDS FROM A DIFFERENT WORD OF GOD, other than that of the Bible I am reading? Which by the way, speaks of GRACE AND LOVE AND FORGIVENESS?

Does your Bible talk about most of us going to HELL or NOT? Read my article called "You really do Only Live twice" under articles about the word Hell-this English word means buried in a hole in the ground,not a place where people burn all day n night!

See "God’s Salvation Gospel" was preached in the very beginning by the angels when our Messiah was born,When They all shouted out "Peace on earth, good will toward men".

 Universal reconciliation (SALVATION FOR ALL) shows our messiah YESHUA’s love for all mankind!

Have any of you ever read anywhere in the Old Testament of the Bible of people going to an "ever burning Hell?" the answer is No!

Simply Because it is not there!

If you do a study of the King James Bible or newer Bible, (except those put out by religion groups) who change it to read like their church doctrines; you will find that most church preachers’ teach even today, "Hell fire and Damnation" which is not biblical, yet it is still being preached every day by "misquoted scriptures"and assumed teachings. Which is "totally unfounded" by the original Greek language text? See some articles about the "English" word( Hell) in my Article titled "Your Really Do Only Live Twice"

Better check it out yourself, instead of relying on some minister, who went to some church school, that are still teaching the old "Catholic Church doctrines," all from a dream -a nightmare of a guy named A. Dante!

The Pope hated Dante in the days of the earlier church. This pope by himself decided to use this dream/nightmare as a way to "scare people" and adopted it to the "church doctrines" which is still being carried over today in most all Protestant churches keeping people in fear and in their churches?

Universal Salvation, is taught in the Greek text of the New Testament and was taught to our forefathers church, during the 17th and 18th centuries then changed during the end of the 18^TH to early 19^TH centuries by who those who taught Hell - FIRE and burning forever?

See Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia online: "Universal reconciliation, also called universal salvation or sometimes simply universalism, is the doctrine or belief of some Christians that all will receive salvation due to the love of God. 

Have you ever considered the possibility that God is saving some men and women now, and will reconcile all others later on in time? What does your Minister say, "only some will make it?"
Whom do you choose to believe, Your God or your church Pastor?
Whom do you think is right? Do you know,IF NOT,Better read your Bibles quick time is short !

Jesus /YESHUA Messiah "gave Himself as a ransom for all, to be testified in due season" (1Tim. 2:6), and that although all are now dying in Adam, "so in Christ will all be made alive--but each in his own order" ((1 Cor. 15:22-28). 15:22-28.) ALL IS ALL isn't it ,or did I learn my math wrong?

We are told in scripture that we have "come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect" (Heb. 12:22-23), "firstborn' is plural in the Greek text (implying that there will be later born sons and daughters.)

You see our "Messiah" will "draw all people" to himself (John. 12:32) until "in Christ all will be made alive" (1 Cor. 15:22). Does this leave anyone out,you think?

God is Pure love (1 John. 4:8), so God would never abandon anyone to an eternal Fire punishment as the "man-made Hell"which is being preached for far too many years now! AGAIN I SAY " Isn’t Jesus’ /YESHUA’s blood good enough to cover every ones sins or just a few (15%) as some minister’s preach? CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF-Blow the dust off your Bibles and find out what is true or false.

God has a plan to rescue and transform even those who turned away from truth and goodness in this mortal life. Our Heavenly Father will find every lost sheep and forgive every prodigal son!
Do you know one of these prodigal sons or daughters’ ,maybe from your family?

The Church needs to examine most of the things they themselves have taught in the past and are still preaching with wrong church doctrines of men today!

What a person really need is not someone trying to convince them that they need God; but, that we need someone with the authority and the power of the spoken Word(BIBLE) to speak to the SON of God, so that all people are and IS SAVED by the blood of a loving begotten son who gave all for us all!

Jesus-Yeshua Himself said "if you have the faith of a grain of mustard seed, you can say to that mountain, "Be removed and it will move!" But because of the blindness that is on our own hearts, we are alienated from God. Most Churches teach fear of HELL to keep you in your set. They want you to pay money so they can feel big and get rich off your fear of burning!

YESHUA said "All authority and power is given unto me; go ye therefore and make disciples." We don't have to try to get people saved as most preach and we don't have to try to get God into everyone; we just need to speak to their being, most people I know SAY, my talking to them, speaks and stirs the Sprit of God that is dormant them, we all want our God to love us and bring us home to Him. Amen!

Jesus-Yeshua told the Apostle Paul (this was at Saul’s conversion) that He was sending him "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

Do you see and believe what ( 2 Corinthians 4:4-7) says? "In whom the god of this world(Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not"

You’re probably saying to yourself right now "That doesn't apply to me; I am a believer?"

 "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." Are you blinded by your church doctrine or some smooth talking minister who went to some church school to preach the same old same old doctrines not even in your Bible?

Better check it out? That church your going to, or the preacher your listening to, could be wrong!

 You see the only place where the devil can use anything he has, is by keeping you thinking you cannot make it! Thinking because of the sins your doing or have done in the past that, then you can’t be forgiven, right?

 Well you see brethren whoever gets the mind of people then he gets those people. DON'T BE one of those who play right into the hands of the old Devil! TOO MANY CHURCHES have let the devil capture and captivated the minds of God's people through the blindness and through the ignorance that has been taught from the pulpits across America with condemnation and fear of Hell.

 It was done knowingly so many church leaders looking to keeping people coming and paying money to them,most just do not read the truth of their own Bibles but, use church doctrines of wrong teachings!

Men who have had good hearts, men who have loved God, men who have desired above everything else to please God, have sown darkness and blindness over the hearts of God's people, because they themselves were ignorant and taught by (their church seminary schools) or like I like to say (cemetery schools) because they teach dead works with fear and condemnation.

 They where and are ,being taught old Catholic doctrines of hell, HELL, HELL which is not in the (KING JAMES 1611 original Bible, These "men of renown" famous men or women mostly on TV, are being blinded and darkened to the life that was in them.

"This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you henceforth walk not as other gentiles walk." If You remember, YESHUA Messiah -Jesus Himself spent forty days with His disciples unveiling to them the Gospel of the Kingdom. They understood, and so Paul in his teaching was reminding them in the Book of Ephesians of all that had been given to them by God.

 "You have been chosen; you have been predestinated; there is a predestinated seed in you that will come to maturity, but every man in his own order. You have been seated with Christ in heavenly places; you have been redeemed by the power and the blood of the Lamb. Therefore don't walk as an unbeliever, being alienated in your mind from the life of God, through the ignorance and the blindness of your heart."

YESHUA Messiah will draw you, find you, meet you. Love you and save all of you by His Blood!

,

There is no human who will be strong enough, no carnal mind too dark, no soul too evil to be transformed by the power and grace of our Almighty Father in heaven through His Son, YESHUA Messiah.

Read it yourself in your own Bible, Christ is to reconcile and restore ALL OF THE CREATION so God may be all in all? Do you not think that "God does all that He desires or wishes?"

My friends when will we truly believe what God said? "I wish that All man should be saved."

Christ came to reconcile and restore all creation including all of mankind and further that He will accomplish what the Father has planned for Him?

Why all the wrong teachings and the disbelief in God's ability to save us all?

All mankind my friend is ALL, not just a few as certain minister’s preach from TV. Some teach 85% will not make it? THINK ABOUT THAT ? Only 15% of us makes it, while we watch everyone else we ever love will burn day and night forever?

How could we be happy with our Father God Yahweh listening to our family member’s screaming all the time. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR HEARING?

My Beloved Brethren, Essentially Yeshua Messiah/Jesus said " God can save EVERYONE - after all He is the One who created us all, right?"

 Keep the faith and pray everyday and read your Bibles for your father in heaven wants all his children to make it,DON'T GIVE UP! In a loving way I say to all ministers who preaches a vengfull God filled with rath is coming back to make people suffer and burn while the skin burn from the bodies as the csream I am sorry Daddy please forgive me.Does God sound like an all loving caring Father who watches out for the everlasting lifes?

Your humble servant Chaplain Jimmie

LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN YOU

by Chaplain /Founder Jimmie Warren

I want to have the shining light that the Lord put on me personally, then ask if you have you seen this same light in yourself ? The Bible has many scriptures concerning "the light." Some, talk about shining your light on others, while others can come forth out of their own darkness and share their light to the world. I want to add the scriptures for you to read from your own Bibles. Please take the time to look them up at your own pleasure.

I want to turn my spot and shine the light Christians have when we start to change into a New Being after being baptized. When we accept the Good News of the gospel, it becomes our light generator to see truth. It is through JESUS/YESHUA who came into this world of darkness to fill it with light about our fathers plan for Salvation through grace.(Matthew 1:16)

Anyone who can see the truth in the only begotten son of our father in heaven, they will be filled with the Holy Ghost, who’s job it is to open our physical eyes and mind to the secrete plan which is Jesus and his father had planed before anything was made. See I am writing about the plan for everything in Heaven and Earth and below the earth shall all be shining because of this light so, let’s get started on when this light opened my eyes to see and serve the Lord God ELOHIM.

The Jewish Priest was in darkness and refused to except that Jesus was their Messiah in (ACTS 3:15-21)

The Jews lived in darkness and refused to see or believe that YESHUS/JESUS was indeed the messiah of God and he was who they killed, by using the laws of Moses. The Vail of Moses blinded them while their Savior, the worlds Savior, was hung on a cross which end their Sacrifices & laws of old. (ACTS 3:21-26)

The Leaders & elders all tried to hush up what all Jesus /Yeshua had given them the truth (ACTS 4:10-12)

There is no other name that ANYONE, can be saved by, yes no one else in the world whose name God has given unto man, by whom anyone can be saved. (ACTS 9:10-22)

In the book of ACTS we see Saul who becomes Paul, which was taught by JESUS CHRIST himself the Good News and Plan of the Father ELOHIM (ACTS 9: 10-22)

Paul was struck down by a light from the sky which flashed all around him. (ACTS 9:3-5)

Saul fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him "Saul, Saul why do you persecute me? Who are you Lord? He asked "I AM JESUS, WHOM YOU PERSECUTED." So, here we see what can happen to us if we are in the dark not knowing what the Gospel is and what Gods secret plan is for those who are his true children.

You see being raised in the back of a church when I was young, I wanted to meet this guy JESUS. I mean all the neat things he did for people like you and me, like healing people at our tent meetings, and revivals where people were testifying everyday how if it wasn’t for Jesus they or someone they knew wouldn’t be alive because of the things the did or knew. Jesus did this and Jesus did that for people all the time. I saw some Christians throw away their beliefs and walk away from the truth back into darkness and it would make me cry.

Here I was to young to get baptized while others, older people, they would quit church, I just didn’t understand why? Here I wanted to get baptized when I was about 5 or 6 years old but, my Grandmother who was the preacher would say NO, because I was too young. She had baptized my aunt Wanda who had just turned 12, I was now much older see I was turning 7 years old and I thought I knew who Jesus was so, why not baptize me? The Bible said "do not forbid the little children to come to me." I was a little child and pretty well knew my Bible, I was going to church more than other children, by being raised up in a church, so why couldn’t I be baptized? I had given my heart to the Lord and I felt I was ready so, one summer day at the public swimming pool my Aunt Wanda said " Jimmie do you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord ? I said yes, then she baptized me under the water while saying these words " in the name of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Ghost and by the name of the Father"she was say all this while I was still under water. I thought I was going to drown when she let me up and I said, I am saved Aman! I went around for days saying I am saved, I am saved, Thank you Jesus, I am waiting for whatever gift you would have me do to serve Almighty God.

I was in love with church and everything church was, from singing songs, to prayers, to testifying, to let others know I was a child of God and proud of it. This was in 1954 I had willingly given my life to God forever.

Then it was the 60"s and rock n roll was in my life and church didn’t seem right but going out in the dark and being a good teenager running around drinking, dancing and having sex took my mind off God and Jesus and this world of darkness seemed more fun and right and I followed my feeling and went with whatever seemed fun which the god of this world wants all people to do.

Read my testimony of trials and denials as God let me know of his plan for me and the purpose he wanted me to see his light and his truth. From 1977-1999 I quit reading the Bible, mostly gave up on God and his word, worse yet, I tried to hid my light from others.

See (Matthew 5:13-16)

After my mother was killed by a car on December 20^th 1965 we had just come from the dentist where I had three teeth pulled and was walking home just before dark. I had said come on mom we can make it there are no cars coming, from the left or right. I held out my hand to her as I stepped into the four lane street, mom took hold of my hand, we were in the middle of the street because I remember looking down and seeing the double yellow line. Honey (Moms love name)said look out Jimmie we could get hit out here. I looked again to our left then to the cars about 4 or 5 blocks away to our right when Bam the lights went out like someone turned of a switch. It was black as night then very slowly a Cop was asking me what had happened? I said I don’t know for sure I guess we were hit by a car or something. The cop said we, who was with you I said my mom and he yelled look for this kids mom there was two of them then I faded out again God was with me. I just did not see it until later when I could look back on why I was still alive and blessed with a wife and two wonderful sons in just ten years, then I was called into the ministry in February 1999,Oh what a wonderful God we have Amen!

I am now almost 65 years old this March 17^th back when everything looked pretty dark with not much to look forward to God let me hit bottom in 1966 when I thought every bottle of booze was to drink and every women friend was to go to bed with then it all ended for various reasons and I found myself one night in the pouring rain in a muddy field screaming at God to end my worthless life or show me a new way to live because I couldn’t take it anymore. The next day I found a Plain Truth Magazine and began going to church and by September 1967 I was re-baptized and reading the Bible everyday then had a wonderful new life in the Lord with hope in the resurrection of Christ knowing I would one day see my mother again and she would see I came back to God. I saw the error of my ways then like a light switch I started seeing Gods truth.

God showed me his light I shared this light of the Gospel of freedom through Jesus Christ’s Blood for he is the light. I lived under the old laws of the Old Testimony until the Light of Christ opened my eyes and mind to become like the light of the New Testament which all Christians who follow the light by the power of the Holy Ghost who shines on us all who keep in the words of the Bible.

As I try to follow what God shows me to do, I fight daily to stay true to God with the dark side of my past always causing me to either fail God or worse yet to do nothing. I thank God all the time of showing me the light and of knowing his plan of salvation for all mankind. I am not normally a writer but God gives me what to write, when I think of something like this article I get out a pencil and a tablet and start writing as it comes to mind? I start putting down whatever subject God wants then I type it out or hand pick it out I should say, then spell check it on my computer. When I go back and read the articles I write My eyes fill with tears sometimes for it is not me writing but the Holy spirit because I am not a writer. It is all because God opened my mind to his light and because of his grace. I feel complied to share this light of the gospel and of the good news of the soon coming kingdom of God here on earth.

I pray some of you reading this will have your hearts and minds opened to the wonderful light of our savior Jesus Christ. In ACTS chapter 13 the Jews do not consider themselves worthy of eternal life so Paul said "we will leave you and go to the gentiles which is the rest of the world see ACTS 13:47 "I have set you to be a light for the gentiles to be the way of salvation for the whole world." Vs 48 shows that the gentiles rejoiced and praised the Lords message in

(ACTS 16:14-15)

This shows how God opens your minds it also shows God working with a women which some men hate to see because they think God only works with men, but as you can see in my article "WOMEN ARE EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD" Further on in ACTS chapter 16 vs 31 shows what anyone who believes can do Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved-you and your family (vs 33) shows the jailer and his family were baptized. Many more women of high society along with many Greek men also believed the real truth of these scriptures.

As a good study in the book of ACTS you will see in (ACTS 17:27) God is actually not far from any of us; in Romans 2:19) the Jews say they by the law would guide people from being blind and be a light for all those who are in darkness. Read Romans 4:1-8) Let the light open your mind to the truth it is not by any works or laws that save you but it is by your faith in JESUS CHRIST our Lord and master. Read further in the book of Romans chapter 4 also All of chapter 5 of Romans from Adam to Christ death spread to the whole human race and by the Blood of Jesus and being raised from the dead and sitting at the right hand of the Father God all who believe will be saved. Amen!

All these scriptures show what the true light is but many will not believe they will just go on listen to ministers who preach dead works or follow dead laws that cannot save anyone but, The old laws lead to death .Jesus fulfilled all the law he did not do away with it but did it all so we could come before the Father covered in his blood innocent from sins of law for where there is no law there is no sin. Even after Jesus showed himself to some they would not believe even with him standing right in front of them. I myself was pretty hard headed and would keep doing bad and good. Without knowing Gods secrete PLAN OF LIFE FOREVER AND EVER THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF THE TRUE GOSPEL OF OUR Lord Jesus Christ.

In the book Of I Corinthians 10:10&11) all these things happened to them as examples for others and they were written down as a warning for all of us today. We live in the time of the end go on read the whole chapter (I Cor.10:10-33)

How many of you asked what you do, what you have been the same thing in serving God?

(1 Cor.12:1-310 THERE IS A LOT TO DO YET .Do it for the Lord and he is the light who opens your minds and hearts to know salvation. Preaching the Good News every day to someone and spreading your light of truth. Love one another as JESUS loved us this means to love everyone every day. We must pray for each other all the time.(1Corinthians.13:2-1);(1Corth 14:1-12) gifts from the spirit are shown here in these verses, see(1Corth.15:50-58);(Ephesians 5:7-15) Truth is the light and the light is righteousness and truth.,this light is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Follow all the words of God every day with fasting and prayers, doing these things will lead us all to the saving light of Jesus. In verse 14 Wake up sleeper rise from the dead! And Christ will shine upon you. In Hebrews 6:4)Again the Light of God is knowing his plan of salvation of Jesus Christ death for all mans sins, thus back to everyone must repent remember all thing are possible thru God so, I think God can forgive again and again as shown in the old testament which shows God forgives Israel over and over again.

To see the whole plan of God from the old law to the New one which Gods only begotten son Jesus died for all mens sins. Christ said love one another as I have loved you. The light that opened my eyes was the Spirit of the law as seen in the book of Hebrews chapters 7,8,9 the Lord said " I will put my write put my laws in their minds, I will write them on their hearts and will be their God, and they will be my people.

Hebrews 9:23-28)Christ's sacrifice takes away all our sins. Also Hebrews 10:9-10) Christ used his own body as a sacrifice once and for all. Aman again Hebrews 10:12-17 all our sins are forgiving forever this is the light at work in you and me. Further on in vs 32;36 have you seen Gods light, we all need to be patient as promised made by our Father God also sees us vs.37-39:we who have faith and are saved this is the light I hope you can see past the dark behind what most churches with their scare tactics of a ever burning hell and being lost forever -it is up to you to see or be blinded by this darkness of the world? If you really look hard you can see past the dark, light coming like dawn on the horizon. Read (1 John 1:5) the message from Gods only begotten Son telling us God is light!

There is no darkness in or near him at all! (1 John 1:7-10) before becoming a follower and believer in Jesus all of us lived in sin which is the darkness of Satan and his world of money. It is JESUS CHRIST who is the light which makes all who believe in him will be free from darkness forever living in the light 1 john :1-6 to be a real "Christian" meaning to be just like JESUS, live like Jesus who sends the Holy Ghost to open our fleshly eyes so we can see the truth God Almighty sent his light so we can see forever more in vs.8 we see "the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining".

(1 john 2:10 He who loves his brother stays in the light".

(vs,17)—but he who does what GOD wants will live forever.

(Vs.20)–you have had the HOLY GHOST poured out on you by Christ so all of you know the truth.

(1 john 3:11-18) true love for everyone is the answer to the light.

In closing one more time"the light of GOD shines through, then you too will in the light of you own god.

I pray this article helps many to come back to a all loving Father GOD .if you have not opened your heart ask god right now to turn your light on in the loving name of the light JESUS CHRIST. .AMAN

your humbled fellow servant trying to hold on and hear those wonderful words "well done my good and faithful servant.

Made Alive in Christ
by Chaplain Jimmie Warren


The Bible says “Many will come in my name but, do not listen for they are keepers of the law (the law of death) and are blinded by the “Vail of Moses” and will try to drag you back into bondage of the slave women Hager and her children . See later in this article about the Bond women and the free women . We who are in Christ Jesus are of the children of Abraham and walk by faith in the Lord. Jesus /Yeshua is our all in all, as you will read here a little later. We are told to walk after Yeshua Messiah for HE is the only one who could keep the law and who was perfect. Yeshua Messiah/ Jesus came to fulfill all the law and set us free from death.

Please follow alone with your own Bibles and read it yourself, the truth ,will amaze you!
Once you read the freedom from the law do not let men talk you into coming to their church and pay tithes to make their little corner of the world grow, for they will wither on the vine.

Apostle Paul has to say: “You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselve.”(Gal 5:7-12)
see even Apostle Paul was warning those going back to the Jewish Law..

YOU ARE SET FREE IN CHRIST JESUS
I was once in a all true church who kept the laws of Moses with Holy Days and 1st and 2nd and even 3rd tithes that church and many like it are now dead. Many under the New Testament are alive and growing away from the main stream churches of our forefathers.”
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. (The Law Moses was given was the yoke of the Jews.)
 
“Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

This is the greatest commandment Jesus gave to his followers, this is the whole of the LAW...HAVE A HUMBLE ATTITUDE IN YOURSELF!
“Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.( Philippians 2:5-11)

Some of those who are law keepers, could be the ones who will kill you “thinking they are doing God a service!
 “ But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.” (GAL. 5:2-6;13-26) 

Those who need a physical laws walk with guilt about everything. By keeping laws and Holy Days, they try to show their religion, and not walking in their faith!

"Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised(keeping the law), simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh. But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.  And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen." (Gal 6:11-18)
Read my article “LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU”

Bond or Free
“Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother. For it is written, "REJOICE , BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND." And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also. But what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN." So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman. (Gal 4 :21-31)

“For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation. (Romans 4: 13-15)

Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Chris is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

“ For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, `WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down), or `WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS ?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)." But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ."For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."( Romans 10: 5 -13)

 “Baptized by Fire”

When we come up out of the water of being baptized in the name of the Father and Son ,we are given the Holy Spirit, “Baptized by Fire” as John the Baptist said of the one who came after him.(Jesus) “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us ,even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Repenting is not just saying “I AM SORRY” it is showing you are different and the only way you will ever change is by reading the Bible a little every day. To stay close to God we need to study his word (the bible) everyday.
"Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands-- remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

When you got baptized, did you do IT because you wanted to be in Gods kingdom or where you just doing it under pressure from the minister of your church and everyone else was doing it?
You need to decide if you did it for the right reasons? If not find a church who uses the Bible, and get baptized again, only this time for real!

AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR ; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. “( Ephesians 2:1 -22 )

Better Things for You.
“But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU." And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise. For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute. In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:9-20)

“For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness ( Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as it was not without an oath (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, "THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, `YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER "); so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.” (Hebrews 7:18-23)

 “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8: 1- 4 )
 Yes beloved we are free in Christ Jesus / Yeshua

“ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen”. (Eph 3:14-21)

Those who we call unbelievers are not outside the church but those who,because of their carnal nature are spiritually underdeveloped they need proper sets of beliefs,or a hierarchy of priest or ministers. Many do not have a spiritual connection with God because of their carnal thinking with which they start judging constantly. See they themselves cannot keep the laws preached to them so they judge you for braking a few.They just do not get the spiritual side of God. Each person are at different levels of spiritual growth with, fixed creeds and dogma, which is a detriment of a truly spiritual religion

It is all about the spirit of God, even the Church of God is spiritual because each person is at different stages in their lives with different teachings and trainings.The Church of God is like being in school,remember back to your school days,we where not all in the same grade,the higher up we went, the more we learned. Each of us with our different back grounds of hurts, and pains, have learned different lessons from God, or about God himself, or our calling?

When we where baptized we got the Holy Spirit from God inside our souls, some bloomed ,while others just soaked up the spirit. Some did nothing, except go to a church building ever weekend and sang songs for 10,15,20 even 30 years before their spirit woke up to do the Job God had called them to do. I hope some of you are waking up now to see the truth which was reviled to me. I try to share this truth to those who have eyes to see it and pray for those who just have not gotten there yet!

I was one of the late bloomers myself, It took my hard head, and stiff neck, over 20 years to wake up to the truth. The Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the freedom and wonderful life in Christ Jesus. I believed the milk and the religion being taught but, didn't do anything to grow spiritually. Then like someone turning on a light switch my mind was pulled to Ephesians,Colossians,Galations.These three books of the Bible with the last eight chapters of Romans shows we don't have to live under the law because it is in our hearts and minds see we have graduated to a higher grade which just means new truths are reviled to our spiritual minds. Paul said it to the Corinth church" I would teach you many things but you just want the milk of the word. You know what the MILK is don't you? It is that Christ came and was crucified and rose 3 days later and went up to sit at the right hand of God and will return to set up God's kingdom.(paraphrased by me)

Our Christian doctrines are easy to confirm you see Jesus never ordained a class of disciples whose job was to preform rituals and prayers on behalf of the flock. Jesus- Yeshua Messiah taught the spirit of the law or pure religion,yes he keep the law because he was a Jew and was the Only One to fulfill it completlly.He told his disciples to go forth and proclaim to all that if they would just change their ways and walk in the Way,they could enter the Kingdom of God when their life was over here on earth.These disciples, later apostles, where not to teach as our authorities,or ministers of today do but, rather lead the people to the One Teacher "Yeshua" who is the only Source of knowledge directly from our Father God!

Give all praise therefore to Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ for there is no other way into the Kingdom of God except through the Only Begotten SON of God –Jesus our Lord!
Thank you for your time and I hope and pray you received some truth here to satisfy your spirit ? Yahweh our God loves you all and is waiting to teach you more, just open your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit,t to open your mind to more truth. May He bless you with new truth.

In closing “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 8:38-39)

 ARE WE OUT OF TIME?
 By Jimmie Warren
OK this One time, I promised I would not write an article about gloom and doom and the end of the world. However, I feel compelled to write this one because of all the latest news I’ve been hearing.

I was in prayer asking God for guidance and more of His Holy Spirit to help lead me when the strangest thing happened. As I was in prayer, I kept hearing "running out of time." After about three times of hearing this in my mind, I had to ask myself, who's running out of time? Was it our country, our president, our world, or was it ME? I had to find out, so I kept asking God to show me.

Have you watched the news of late? The latest is that China, Russia, Pakistan, India and a few other Muslim countries have asked the United States to leave Afghanistan. Of course our beloved President Bush will say NO .We will stay to fight the terrorists, right? Have you ever heard of ARMAGEDDON, Mr. President. This could lead right up to the biggest war ever seen, and to the end of mankind.

I don't want to scare all of you brethren, but we are in the time of the end. ( Matthew 24:44)
You have heard this a lot, but read your Bible, then read your newspapers. (Well read between the lines of the propaganda anyway.) Look on the Internet for the right news, while you can.

This government is taking us down the road of NO RETURN. You need to be ready; are you?
Jesus said to watch, for no man knows the day or hour of the return of the Son of Man. But, He also said that as the buds on the trees turn green, you know that summer is near. (Matthew 24:32)

 Read Revelation chapters 18-19, and read also Daniel chapters 9-11. Every day something bad is going on in this mean, old world, and I believe that we are getting so used to it that it does not bother anyone. Like we read that in the end time, the love of many shall wax cold. (Matthew 24:12)
 
Beloved, we all need more time on our knees and with our noses in the Word of God, before all of a sudden we're in the great tribulation. Please don't wait on your church to help you, or on your minister to give you advice. He might not make it himself.

 We all need to be looking for the signs of the end time, and unless you are blind, it’s pretty much upon us now. We all need to get the message out that the kingdom of God is coming soon. True world peace is right around the corner, and this is the good news!

Those who can get the radio stations that carry the End Time show called Politics and Religion should listen to Pastor Irvin Baxter. You can also go to his web site, www.endtime.com

He has a real good show about how the events of the present age are leading right up to the return of Jesus Christ. God says to pray that you are accounted worthy to escape all these things. (Luke 21:36) We had better get ready because we are all running out of time.

Beloved, don't get in a panic. Instead, read your bible and be ready to save your family and to get your loved ones ready, so they can escape.

Only those that are close to God will be taken to a place of safety! Will you and your family be some of these saints ? You know just going to church every week isn't enough. It takes lots of study and prayer and keeping yourself informed on the events around you. Come on, open that Bible of yours, ask questions from your pastor, or read everything you can get your hands on concerning the end times.
 
When was the last time you went to God on your knees and asked to be protected from evil? When was the last time you asked Him to forgive your mistakes, so you could be with Him in His kingdom? It is time to quit playing church; it is time to get REAL with Almighty God. Now would be a good time; don't you think?

One of my favorite games to play at parties or other social events is this one. Have everyone draw a line about five or six inches long on their note pads, then put a zero on the end to the left. Then put 70 on the other end to the right. Now have them draw a line down through where their life is now between 0 and 70.
Example 0--10---20----30---40----50-/---60-xx--70---80---WHERE ARE YOU ON THE LINE?

This LINE shows how much time you have left, before you are going to meet Jesus. 

Not much time is it! See, we really are running out of time. Be ready to be saved or lost.

Ask Jesus into your life, and say the sinners prayer here on our home page. Change your life before you run out of time yourself. Amen
 

AN URGENT REQUEST
From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team


Dear Jimmie,

Last night I was in a meeting here in our nation's capital with my dear friend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. So much has changed since the day more than thirty years ago when I anointed him with oil and prophesied over him that he would twice serve as Israel's Prime Minister...and that his second term in office would be in the moment of Israel's greatest crisis.

That day has come. This is it: the moment that the Spirit of God spoke of through me on that day so long ago. The threat posed to Israel by a nuclear Iran is one the Jewish state simply cannot survive. I keep hearing apologists for Iran and enemies of Israel saying that the threat is being overblown; it is not! If action is not taken soon, either by Israel, the U.S. or both, Iran's leaders WILL have nuclear weapons, and it will be too late to stop them.

In a powerful speech last night to AIPAC here in Washington, Mr. Netanyahu said, "We've waited for diplomacy to work. We've waited for sanctions to work. None of us can afford to wait much longer. We are determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. We leave all options on the table. And containment is definitely not an option. The Jewish state will not allow those seeking our destruction to possess the means to achieve that goal."

The pressures being put on Prime Minister Netanyahu are incredible. The Jewish state stands isolated and almost totally alone. Israelis know they are in the fight of their lives for their survival. And through prayer we can and must be part of this battle as well.

To show the people of Israel our support, the Jerusalem Prayer Team has launched a Purim campaign to allow us to meet the needs of the poor of Israel and help them prepare for the coming war. I am thrilled to tell you that a dear friend who loves the Jewish people has stepped forward with a special $100,000 matching gift offer between now and Purim.

If we can meet this $100,000 matching gift challenge, we will MORE than reach our original goal and be able to do even more than we had planned to help the Jewish people prepare for this crisis. What an incredible blessing that would be! Your gift today will be doubled to help save more lives and meet more needs. So far 550 loving hearts have responded by giving $61,000 toward this matching gift challenge but we only have two days left. Will you join with us today?

DONATE NOW: https://www.donation-net.net/CTBF/NecklacePrem.cfm?dn=1032&commID=274778503&ID=548129

We have a very short window of opportunity to do our part to deliver Israel from destruction. The Jerusalem Prayer Team is conducting a special campaign between now and Purim (the celebration of God's deliverance of His Chosen People in the days of Esther) to help the Jewish people. I'm asking you today to join us in the countdown to Purim as we do our part to deliver Israel from destruction.

Here's just one of the things your gift of love is doing. For months we've been working to restore and renovate a large bomb shelter in Jerusalem for the use of elderly Holocaust survivors. It's a first in Israel; there's literally nothing like it in the entire nation. It has comfortable heating and air conditioning, carpeting, comfortable chairs, a multimedia center, and so much more. The mayor of Jerusalem and I will be dedicating it in just a few weeks, and it will be seen by the entire nation of Israel.

Once the war starts, it will be too late. We must help now or many will die. Your gift today to the Jerusalem Prayer Team can literally be the difference between life and death. Please join me right now in praying a commanded blessing on every loving heart that responds to this urgent call for help.

We have provided a number of bomb shelters for Jewish school children to have a safe place when the rockets fall from the skies. But we must do more. We must begin to accumulate medical supplies and relief stockpiles. We must continue to provide food and warm clothing to the poor of Israel. We must help find and provide safe places for people to take shelter during attacks. Though everyone in Israel is at risk, there are only bomb shelters and safe places for about half of the population! Your gift today is both a witness to the Jewish people of God's love and a practical, life-saving help as we face the coming war.

Israel today stands on the brink of all-out war--a war that will kill or injure thousands of precious Jewish men, women, and children. We must do all that we can to defend the Jewish state and God's Chosen People. In addition, the Jerusalem Prayer Team is working to meet the needs of the poor and elderly in Israel. Your gift helps us provide warm clothes, food and medicine for those in urgent need.

When you send your gift of $30 or more, we will send you a beautiful Star of David necklace. It's both a lovely piece and a constant reminder of your commitment to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. If you are able to send a gift of $150 or more, we will send you the necklace as well as a stunning silver-finish menorah. It is a great link to the history of God's Chosen People and a wonderful addition to your home or office. If you are able send $1,000 or more, we will send you both of those pieces as well as a large silver-trimmed shofar. Handmade according to the traditions passed down for centuries, this museum-quality piece will tell everyone that you are committed to sounding the alarm for the defense of Israel.
