Come Out of Babylon!

We know from history that the Assyrian ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes saw that the Israeli people were “difficult” to rule.  Hellenic culture was considered superior and the four world leaders were attempting to Hellenize the world that Alexander had conquered.  The Jews were standing in the way of this and so Antiochus decided to go to the heart of the matter—Jerusalem.

He made it against his law to worship as a Jew and the penalty for breaking his law was death.  He set up a statue of Jupiter in the court of the Temple and demanded that the Jews worship it.  Mothers who had their sons circumcised were killed after watching their newborns hanged. The Rabbis who performed the bris were also killed.

Antiochus went to Matathias who was a wealthy and devout man, highly esteemed by the people.  Antiochus offered him lands and more riches and a seat in his government if he would worship Jupiter and show the nation of Israel to conform.  Antiochus had a pig slain and roasted on the altar of the Temple, defiling it and driving home the horror of it all throughout the land  Not only did Matathias refuse but he and his sons led a revolt:  The Macabbeen Rebellion.

The Lord was with the Israelis and despite being outnumbered and having less armaments and training, they were victorious over the Assyrians!

The removal of a people group’s worship, traditions, customs and societal way of life is what the Selucids under Antiochus attempted to eradicate.  In this way they did not need to kill the people, but would destroy their soul.  Mao Tse Tung killed 80 million people in order to destroy their ability to revolt and to conquer them from within.  Antiochus  had a variation on the theme but it would have proved to be quite effective as well.   (I will expound on the removal of a people group’s worship, traditions, customs and societal way of life as being their landmarks or the distinguishing features of that people group.)

If we want to understand the way in which the New World Order will arise we need to pay particular attention to the lesson of history with regard to the removal of landmarks.  It is not only happening on a physical and societal level but I submit to you that it is happening on a spiritual level as well.  Think about it; if the enemy wants to really pull Spirit filled believers off track how will he do it?  He will use deception –his only tool!  And so -how????  He will speak to congregations through false prophets, he will use pressure of the people on pastors (like what happened to King Saul), he will use these and the tares he has sown into the Body to remove the landmarks of what it is to be Christian.

This has already happened. When Constantine used the paganization of Christianity to unite his kingdom, it also removed many truths of the faith once delivered to the saints. Judaism was removed from the gospel to a great degree and that removed the landmarks of the faith.

Our worship:  Y’shua said we must worship God in Spirit and Truth. (John 4)  So, the enemy- using his tares, brings in another spirit and removes the Truth.  I declare to you that much of the music for worship in the churches actually conjures spirits of the anti-christ…oh help us Lord!  And so how does a person become one that the enemy can use so strongly?  The person has STRONG TIES TO THE WORLD!

The basic truths which we as Christians should hold onto cannot be replaced, removed, watered down or added to. Some basics:

The triune Godhead, (not Trinity),

the virgin birth,

the sinlessness of Y’shua the Messiah and Savior,

the fact that Y’shua is the only begotten son of the Father,

the atonement of our sins by the application of His blood on the Mercy Seat in Heaven,

The Holy Spirit, (Ruach HaKodesh) was poured out on mankind and is now able to dwell in man. (Temporary Tabernacles that we are!),

The Spiritual Gifts of the Ascension were given, etc. etc. I want to bring forth more on this subject so I have a teaching which will bring clarity early on.  So, CLICK on the link here for a brief teaching that gives the understanding to the Gifts of the Ascension:

So, now you may understand that if the false apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists are given a place in a worship center, that center will spiral down into error very quickly and if not corrected, can have its lampstand removed out of its place. It would then become a cult.

Please, PLEASE, get very familiar with the Ruach HaKodesh, (HOLY SPIRIT) and when you see the false in your midst, ask the LORD what you should do next.

Breaking Oaths and Hindrances

As a Prayer Warrior of YaHoVaH you will want to remove any hindrances to your intimacy with our Creator and which would keep us bound to the world. Many people do not understand the binding principles regarding ungodly oaths, promises and declarations either oral or written. The Tanakh is the Word of God– (According to the Talmud, much of the contents of the Tanakh were compiled by the “Men of the Great Assembly” by 450 BC, and have since remained unchanged. Modern scholars believe that the process of canonization of the Tanakh became finalized between 200 BC and 200 AD.)

In the Tanakh we read about oaths in many places but let’s begin with NUMBERS 30:1  And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
NUMBERS 30:2  If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
NUMBERS 30:3  If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth;
NUMBERS 30:4  And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
NUMBERS 30:5  But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
NUMBERS 30:6  And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
NUMBERS 30:7  And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
NUMBERS 30:8  But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
NUMBERS 30:9  But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
NUMBERS 30:10  And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
NUMBERS 30:11  And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
NUMBERS 30:12  But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
NUMBERS 30:13  Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
NUMBERS 30:14  But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
NUMBERS 30:15  But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
NUMBERS 30:16  These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father’s house.

OKAY!  So women, please take note, Messiah Y’shua has died to remove the curse of the woman from your life.

However, it is a good idea to have a couple of people you can trust to come along side of you and witness your renouncement of any oath you made. And men, it is simply a good rule to abide to as well.

Also, people who you have had un-Godly soul ties with may have spoken foul oaths or declarations over your life so it is a good idea to break all word curses off of yourself. We will say a prayer at the end of this teaching.

YaHoVaH, Abba, I come to You and humbly thank You for the Tanakh and the everlasting principles to guide my life!  I ask You to honor me now that I make these declarations:

I renounce all un-Godly soul ties that I entered into through illicit sex, fornication of all kinds and/or promises made with the following persons:  ____________________

I break off every word curse expressed by anyone I have had an un-Godly soul tie with! In the Name of Y’shua HaMaschiach, Jesus Christ, I declare now that I understand, that I am a joint-heir with Christ and I am part of the Body of Messiah, so my affiliations formed through the lusts of my flesh are hereby decreed as null and void from their operations against my life.

I plead the Blood of Messiah over me, spirit, soul and body, mind, will and emotions. I charge the Blood of Y’shua, (Jesus) against you HaSatan and call you a failure in your efforts to overcome me.

I renounce my participation with all fleshly lust and recant all greed inspired declarations or oaths or promises. I decree that I am FREE because I have applied the Works of Salvation provided me by the perfect Savior, Y’shua HaMaschiach whose works freed me of all curses!

Thank you O Gracious Heavenly Father! I am Yours and You are mine!

Salvation Plan of YaH

When we understand that the plan of Salvation of YaHoVaH began way back in the beginning of Creation we will get a higher revelation of our Savior, Y’shua, (Jesus). What do I mean by this? What is it that I am saying?

Well, the very beginning of beginnings is that the Father, YaH, before the foundations of time, killed a lamb which was slain to provide for broken relationship before the relationship physically existed. Then HE spoke to create the Heavens and the Earth and all that is within them…Right? So that is where this teaching starts. I want to show you great things here.

Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV)
1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

So, God, (YaH) said, “Let there be Light”.  There are so many meanings to the word light that we can really make this a long teaching, and I will someday, but for now let’s just get some basics across here.

John 1:1-5 (KJV)
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

We see from this description that Jesus was the Word of YaH and was God, he also made all things and nothing that was made got that way without HIM! He did it all. How did that work?

Well, when the Father spoke the words Let there be Light, it is the SALVATION of man…Yeshua. That Hebrew word means salvation and light and life and creation power and resurrection power and, and, and, on it goes! ENLIGHTENMENT. Y’shua came forth at the Father’s word.

There is this one very important thing we must understand, going back to our original premise:  The plan of salvation goes back to Creation. (By the way, it only makes sense since Y’shua is the essence of every one of the appointed times and living oracles of YaH, both written and orally communicated).

Let’s keep reading about light in John…John 1:6-14 (KJV)
6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9  That (Y’shua) was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12  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:
13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

We see that Light is full of grace and truth (and wisdom). Jesus said he is the truth. Also, He told Martha that He is the Resurrection and the Life. He is the WAY and there is no way to the Father except through HIM.

Genesis 2:1-3 (KJV)
1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Y’shua is always found in the Synagogue  on the Shabbat and heals very often on the Shabbat because He is showing that people who honor YaHoVaH have the healing power toward them from their obedience. (He had the fullness of the Godhead bodily but what I am saying is that it is by their obedience to the command to honor the Shabbat that brought forth their healing. He sees they have a need because  they are spending time with Him, the Creator on the day that commemorates the days of Creation with keeping the day sanctified unto Him and so the person gets healed to show His pleasure of the communication and their dedication; their obedience.

AND since Y’shua is the Creator He is LORD of the Shabbat! He clearly showed this when he made clay/mud from the dirt of the ground and using his own spittle then applied it to a man’s eye sockets who was born blind and had no eyeballs. They were c r e a t e d  by Y’shua the same way he formed man from the dust of the ground…

The Shabbat was given to commemorate the Creator and allow the created being, man, fellowship with Him.

Y’shua is Creator, John 1:1-3, Ephesians 3:9,  Colossians 1:15, 

The creator came into his creation and became incarnate as the created…colossal! Magnificent! Awesome!  He is the fullness of the Godhead, bodily…what a salvation plan! I already shared about John chapter one, let’s move onto the next verses:

Ephesians 3:6-13 (KJV)
6  That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7  Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13  Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

The Word of God speaks for itself and yet please take note of verse 9 BECAUSE IT SUMS UP EVERYTHING SO NICELY!!!  Verse 6 says that the Nations of the Earth should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel…IT IS THE SAME GOOD NEWS AS IT WAS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT! Jesus, (Y’shua) came preaching the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM.

When the people of God in the Old Testament honored the Shabbat, and the Appointed Times they were appropriating the salvation of YaH!

Appropriating the Sabbath and the Appointed Times to remain in Covenant with God were actually IN MESSIAH–because He is the ESSENCE, PROVISION FOR REDEMPTION AND RECONCILIATION AND RETURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS (His, not our own which is attained by being in Him.)–HE is the fulfillment and completion of them all and they are all about HIM!!!

When we understand the provisions of each Appointed Time and Sabbath, we get a better understanding of how to appropriate the completed works of our Savior!

Now, onto the next verse which further makes the case here:  Colossians 1:12-29 (KJV)

12  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
25  Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28  Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

WOW!!!  This is such a huge connecting concept to bring us to our wonderful conclusions, the main one being that, The creator came into his creation and became incarnate as the created. AND that as the Creator, He has commanded us to keep the 7th day Sanctified unto Him in order to differentiate Him from all the other little g gods out there!!!!

In summary:

One thing you will be seeing more and more in the Sunday worship churches and leaders is that they will lose their focus on Jesus Christ. (Y’shua HaMaschiach) and their focus will be on money, provision, power and position over people, and other things we have seen warnings against in the Word. Additionally, a lack of holiness will prevail and with that the manifestation of acceptance of ungodly lifestyles and the sins associated with compromise.

The reason for this is that disobedience brings forth a spirit of error which has soul ties. It also leads to delusion or believing a lie. If you are coming out of Sunday worship and have discovered the beauty of Shabbat, well you would do well to break off all ungodly soul ties that came from your time in the “Sunday-only” worship churches.

If you are reading this and you are not sure, just lay hands on yourself and ask God to forgive you if you have believed a lie. Ask Him to lead you into all truth. Ask Him to show you the way.

There are going to be great divisions among the people coming up here real soon. (Yes of course there are already many divisions but the main thing will be that Saturday Shabbat Keeping Believers will be persecuted by Sunday Worship Only Followers.

We are going to see clear lines of demarcation. Those who keep the Commandments of God and who bear fruits of repentance, walking in light and truth, and are those who study the Word and live the Gospel. LOVE WILL BE THEIR BANNER.

The Followers will be those who sit and feed endlessly from other’s teachings and do not study the Bible on their own. They will have the fruit of disobedience such as:  gossip, fornication, blasphemy, greed, gluttony, and sloth. COMPROMISE WILL BE THEIR BANNER. They will have lying signs and wonders and their ways would, if possible fool the very elect, (those who have the Holy Spirit).  (This is the great falling away we read about.)

The spirit of religion will be the main spirit. (and that is the spirit of anti-Christ or “in place of Christ”). This is the separation of the sheep and the goats. Also, the second Fig tree that will not bear fruit…selah.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 (KJV)
3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

PLEASE– PLEASE, PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME…HONOR THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD! THEY ARE NOW WRITTEN IN YOUR HEART!

Revelation 3:19-20 (KJV)
19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

This is a letter to the Church! NOT to the lost! If you say we are not under the Law and throw it out…YOU ARE THROWING OUT THE SAVIOR WHO IS THE WORD! (LAW)

SELAH!!!

The Mystery of Lawlessness

Exodus 7:3 says, And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.  When I was a young student of the Word this bothered me. I almost couldn’t believe that a God who IS LOVE would do this to a man.
Over the years I heard a few sermons where this was mentioned and yes they comforted me and had a measure of truth but not fully and I really wanted to understand this.

As I walk with The Lord and see how the spiritual Laws that are in place regulate all that is created, I feel comforted and have a greater understanding on this. Now you see my reason for sharing, there may be others that want to know this!

When a person refuses to acknowledge a mighty work of YaHoVaH it is very much like refuting a Word of Knowledge…and can be worse. When Ananias and Sapphira lied in the face of Peter, it was not about Peter, but was an affront against the Holy Spirit because Peter was operating in the RUACH KODESH so they actually lied into the face of YaH.

They were slain on the spot!

Here is what I believe the Word shows us regarding the Laws of the Spirit Realm, (Kingdom of Heaven’s Rules):

1. The judgments of YaH are righteous and true and one way he judges is to allow spirits to come upon a person or an area of land. This is shown many times in the Word so we know this.
Here’s what it is…you get to keep whatever you want to keep. In essence, if you refuse to yield yourself to HIS will and come under his protection (which is one major benefit for doing it!) then you can continue to go your own way but the protection is not there to the degree it can be. AND, the spirits that you have been yielding to will be able to have their reign over you, and there are required sacrifices to that deity that will begin to manifest whether a person or nation understands that or not. (Rebellion being the entry demon and then his buddies follow with him.)

Right now all over the world, there are people who are called by His Name…who are filled with His Ruach HaKodesh, who are lifting up other gods!

YES! Gods like: continuing in pagan celebrations like Christmas and Easter and Halloween, prosperity (love of silver and gold and luxuries) and the love of power over people, and the next and greatest— refusing to honor the Shabbat of YaHoVaH and continuing to follow after the Roman Papacy.

So what is the result?  The rampant exponential growth of the abortion rate is the result.  The often -first born- are being given to Molech or name it whatever you want, but that is the result. It is the natural progression of events. It is the required worship of this evil deity and others of the like.

When Ahab was asking all the ‘prophets’ for advice on whether or not to go up against Ramothgilead and they all gave him great swelled words from “The Lord” which assured him that the enemy would be delivered into his hand.

YaHoVaH asks a question that should put the Fear of The Lord into the hearts of all people!  We read in I Kings 22:20 He says, “who shall persuade Ahab that he would go up and fall against Ramothgilead?”

God will not always strive with man…

So here The LORD asks a question in His Court and in verse 20 and 21 the replies begin…one said in this manner and another said in that manner. There came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the LORD, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said, “Thou shall persuade him, and prevail also, go forth and do so.”

So YaH deems that Ahab will not turn from his wickedness and so He is not willing to strive with him any longer so Ahab’s time is up. Ahab consistently used prophets to enable him to remain contrary to God in his ways, doing what he wanted and getting “God’s” approval. He liked the soothing sayings of the “prophets” who operated in their unyielded, fleshy mixture, so he was able to have what he loved and it led to his death.

We see the same really, in Exodus with Pharaoh. Each mighty miracle of God our Elohim was done to show His superiority over the various gods of the Egyptians. When he refused to acknowledge YaHoVaH in His Sovereignty well, he was allowed to keep his little g gods but then he has to take what comes with that choice.

So, when Pharaoh kept his angry rebellious attitude with YaHoVaH our Elohim, He allowed spirits to come upon him which is what hardens a person’s heart to the freedom of truth which is derived by obedience. AND, it is not that God has “put these spirits upon a person” as though it is His choice to do so…NO, rather it is that the person GETS these spirits because of the Spiritual Laws of the Kingdom. The Father releases them according to illegal actions that were committed.

BUT, I am speaking here of judgments and not just a one-time transgression of the Law with repentance following it. DO NOT be discouraged! Judgments like these examples are a result of deliberate and willful disobedience in the face of enlightenment.

Pharaoh was shown who was the ONE true God and he determined to keep his own deities. His deities had given him his throne, way of life and all his wealth and power. THIS God was telling him to let his slaves go.

Now, the judgments against America are imminent as shown recently by the indisputable Harbingers that have been disclosed by Jonathan Cahn. (I am not going to review them here for time’s sake, but if you are unaware of what they are, I would suggest going to YouTube and watching some teachings on them…or buy the books.)

I believe that the judgments are about to happen for all the Gentile nations. I also believe that the instrument in the hand of God will be the Islamic forces. (Vessels of Wrath), He will allow them to rise up and many will suffer at their hands. HOW CAN I SAY THIS???

Well, firstly, He says that if His people will not return to the land He has given them He will send the fishers. If they still refuse to return He will send the hunters. (Jeremiah 16:14-21) (KJV)
14  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15  But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16  Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17  For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18  And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19  O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

Herein is another facet to the Mystery of Lawlessness! Did you catch it?

He is using evil to drive His people back to His plan for them. It happens over and over again. So again, is this our Elohim being wicked? NO! It is the consequence of disobedience.

Have you ever noticed that “backslidden” Christians or non-observant Jews/Hebrews or even Christians who believe that the Law of God was done away with, operate in extreme wickedness?  It is a wonder to me whether or not they can be restored and I suppose if they were not ever really HIS then they had the opportunity to taste and see that the LORD is good and if they found His law binding and then rejected His Kingdom and found the citizenry obtuse, well then they can take the road out and stay in the enemy’s kingdom (the world), and they will be ruled over by the enemy of their soul—EVEN if they do not understand who or what the enemy is and what that means for them…

Some recent examples of this in current events are people like Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray as well. Then there’s the conjuring of Satan by Katie Perry in the Emmy’s who supposedly began as a born again Christian and whose father is a Pastor…

Here’s a fact you may not have heard; serial killers are often people who at one time were solid church-going Christians!  How can this be? Were these folks ever really God’s people?  Did He ever really allow His Ruach Kodesh to take up residence within these ones who now demonstrate such blatant disregard and rebellion towards the Laws of God?

There are a couple verses which will give us an answer as to what is a possible result of the absolute rejection of God, our Elohim and His offer of salvation after having had witnessed the miracles, signs or wonders of His interaction on the earth as He has manifested to people in their sight.

Over and over throughout the Scriptures we see how that after the LORD showed Himself to people or nations they were then subject to fierce judgments because of the amount of truth they had been shown. In the same token, they were subject to great rewards in the face of obedience!

Also, as an aside, when the LORD is preparing to bring His judgments on a nation or people group, he will show it to His prophets, and nowadays also, His apostles.  In the case of Joseph, the LORD was planning on using him so mightily that He had to make sure that Joseph’s heart was prepared, hence all the suffering and trials.

When the LORD our Elohim, YaHoVaH, raises up a “Judge” (in the absence of a King) to give us the irrefutable Word of the LORD and people do not repent and shepherds do not fall on their face and “put on sackcloth and ashes” and fast and pray and repent…we are all in trouble.

So, I believe that is where we are right now. The entire Gentile peoples who have had a true visitation of YaH for 2 days, have the writing on the wall –so to speak. They have been weighed and found wanting and their judgments will be coming swiftly.

How can I say this? Who am I to say such things? Listen, I’m in it with the rest of the people, folks.  But if you are paying attention, there is evidence all around you. The evil is increasing in intensity and the Hand of His covering needs to be sought with a repentant heart!

When we come to YHVH in our own way rather than the way He has asked us we are operating in the spirit of Cain. People who say that it doesn’t matter if they celebrate Christmas and Easter, or which day they honor the Shabbat, they are being like Cain. They read the Word and know what God wants from them but so many others that they respect and love are celebrating these traditional “holidays” that surely they must be all right. Also, to ignore history and it clearly showed that the Shabbat was changed to delete all things “Jewish” by the Holy Roman Empire (for which the punishment for celebrating the Feasts and the 7th day Shabbat was death in many cases), well, the onus is on that individual.

Also, please consider this example:  Remember when you were first born again and so very zealous for the things of God and you read about how Aaron, brother to Moses, made a golden calf ….let’s look into this.

Exodus 32:21-24 (KJV)
21  And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
22  And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
23  For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24  And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 

First of all, we must remember that Aaron is YaH’s choice as a High Priest!  He is God ordained!  He claimed that he gathered their gold and threw it into the fire and the golden calf came out. Do you remember wondering why God didn’t smite him? I do. I was incredulous.

Is it so far from what we are talking about? Isn’t it the same kind of thing? I mean, We want to celebrate the way we learned and so even though we know it isn’t of God we MAKE it about Him? If a heart is set on mischief this is the result.

Second of all, YaHoVaH had just delivered these people with so many miracles, signs and wonders and covenants that there was NO DOUBT who He is. WE TOO have experienced many miracles of deliverance and protection and provision and we are in no way less informed as to who YaH is! If you have true salvation then you are filled with the HOLY SPIRIT and have the indwelling of the presence of God!  DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY.

IF AFTER ALL that God has done for you and shown you of Himself you still regard him among santa, christmas trees and the easter bunny, then you are worse off than Aaron because HE didn’t have the benefit of the indwelling presence of God like you do.

Please, I implore you, if you are reading this and you are still celebrating the pagan holidays and trying to incorporate the Messiah into them and if you are still a Sunday only Sabbath Keeper, repent. Change your mind! I hope I have helped you to do that.

It is never too late while you are still breathing air, but it will get harder and harder to do each time you reject the truth. I have made that case too, above, in this teaching. This is called “Soul Ties”.

The Mystery of Lawlessness is a vast subject and I have only touched upon it here. I will expound on it as the Spirit of God, (Ruach Kodesh) prompts me.

List of things to Renounce

Counterfeit spirits have the power to counterfeit any manner of hearing the Lord.  They can speak to and through one’s thoughts.   They can answer fleeces, give visions and pictures, etc.

The enemy has the power to be deceiving in any manner of hearing the Lord. For instance they can speak to you and you may believe it is just a thought. Once you entertain that thought then the evil spirit gets a foothold into your mind. If you do not deal with it by taking that thought captive to the obedience of Messiah, then the evil can become a stronghold.

Strongholds are any concepts, ideologies, theologies, beliefs, values or value systems, or simple thoughts which a person will defend because they have accepted them as truth and/or given them credibility for their lives. A person may hide behind these strongholds and use them as defense mechanisms to argue their points.

The following is a list of the works of occult spirits that open the door to evil spirits.  (Listed Alphabetically)

Christians must be trained to use great discernment.  Doors open to these spirits in several ways:

1. They have access to further deceive people who have toyed with occult activity in relationship  to mediums, horoscopes, Ouija boards, palm reading, 8-balls, channeling,  new age etc.

2. A desire in one’s heart for supernatural power leaves one vulnerable.   In a Christian for instance, they find ways to demand answers from God and try to manipulate the Word for their own benefit.

3. The desire for supernatural experiences and prophetic “words” from those claiming to be prophets of God also will open the door.

4. People who look for signs or put confidence in dreams are vulnerable.  They are ones who lay fleeces before the Lord on a regular basis.  Fleeces, if used at all, should be used with extreme caution as unto the fear and respect for the Lord.

IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY FORM OF THE OCCULT YOU NEED TO RENOUNCE ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY.

(Isaiah 8:19, 29:4)  This will make your hearing impure, warped, twisted, and polluted.  Verbally renounce these past associations in Jesus Name, and turn your back on them and cast out the spirits associated with them.   (“I renounce all association with ___________in the Name of Y’shua HaMaschiach, I cast down imaginations that I knowingly or unknowingly cooperated with. I resist them and break any spiritual yokes of enslavement assigned against my spiritual hearing, in Y’shua’s Name.”)

WRITE YOUR  RENOUNCEMENT IN Y’shua’s NAME using the above guideline. Please then after you are free, remember to take every thought captive to the obedience of Messiah.

2 Corinthians 10:2-6 (KJV)
2  But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6  And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Leviticus 19:26 (KJV)
26  Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV)
23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Isaiah 57:3-5 (KJV)
3  But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4  Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5  Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

Micah 5:12-15 (KJV)
12  And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13  Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14  And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15  And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
