Who are you really following?
Are you a follower of divine Love or self love? Are you really full of the Holy Spirit or full of yourself? Remember, one cannot serve two masters for scripture says one will hate the other. All of your self will, judgments, desires, self goals, self this or that, self self self must be put down and devastated. Only then can you realize how much you need HIM instead of creating your own golden calf.
You can be your own golden calf stealing His Glory for your own selfish interests. You can create your own golden calf because you want OUT so bad of a situation. To hate your life and to do God's will is not to run from your uncomfortable situations. To hate your life is to deny yourself and run to the Father's will.
Matthew 6:24 (AMP) No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be [a]against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon ([b]deceitful riches, money, possessions, or [c]whatever is trusted in).
May you grow in His Grace moving from Glory to Glory. May you learn to persevere and endure in all things learning to run this race with patience as He works to bring all things together according to His purpose and design for those who Love Him.

Are we able to digest the hard and difficult and strange?
We must ask ourselves why are we following Jesus. Are we following Him because He is God or are we following Him because He is feeding us? If you follow Him because you are looking for comfort or to be fed, then when spiritual meat is served, you will vomit
John 6:26 (AMP) Jesus answered them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, you have been searching for Me, not because you saw the miracles and signs but because you were fed with the loaves and were filled and satisfied.
In this chapter, Jesus attempted to explain to His people that they must search for more than physical food. On the surface, humans react to our physical needs. We may even start to believe in things from people because it satisfies our humanistic needs.
Humans continue to search for comfort when in fact Jesus said you will experience tribulation and suffering if you follow Him. This is a road and realty we must accept. We must accept what is allowed and we must learn to overcome our situations instead of always looking for the exit sign.
God is molding and training us. Yet, we think when God trains and mold us, we believe it should be done under comfortable conditions in which we should be making lots of money, big house, big cars, business/career, education, retirement, and so on. We believe as long as these conditions are met, we are now ready to be trained and molded by God.
Oh, how little many of us know God and His ways. It is through suffering, tribulation, and darkness He shines the greatest and we are purified. It is through our weakness His Power is made Perfect! It is in the terrible furnace of fire we are purified. Then to be molded into a beautiful sword, the metal must be BEATEN into shape. Through the pain will come a beautiful sword for His Kingdom. How many are willing to finish their process?
John 6:55-66 (AMP) For My flesh is true and genuine food, and My blood is true and genuine drink.56He who feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood dwells continually in Me, and I [in like manner dwell continually] in him.57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live by (through, because of) the Father, even so whoever continues to feed on Me [whoever takes Me for his food and is nourished by Me] shall [in his turn] live through and because of Me.58This is the Bread that came down from heaven. It is not like the manna which our forefathers ate, and yet died; he who takes this Bread for his food shall live forever.59He said these things in a synagogue while He was teaching at Capernaum.60When His disciples heard this, many of them said, This is a hard and difficult and strange saying (an offensive and unbearable message). Who can stand to hear it? [Who can be expected to listen to such teaching?]61But Jesus, knowing within Himself that His disciples were complaining and protesting and grumbling about it, said to them: Is this a stumbling block and an offense to you? [Does this upset and displease and shock and scandalize you?] 62What then [will be your reaction] if you should see the Son of Man ascending to [the place] where He was before?63It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.64But [still] some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him.65And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him [unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father.66After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him.
Verse 60 says many said His teaching was too "hard and difficult and strange (an offensive and unbearable message). Then sadly, on verse 66, "many disciples drew back (return to their old associations) and no longer accompanied HIM."
The word disciple became Christian in the book of Acts. How many have withdrawn to their own form of piety no longer accompanying Him? How many will hold their ground to stand on Truth even though it is hard and difficult and strange? Will you look for something easy to digest? Ask the Lord for His Wisdom but know it only comes through the Fear of the LORD!
May He lead you to His Truth. May He put you in agreement with HIM. May He be Glorified!!!

"Brood of vipers!"
Matthew 3:1-7 (AMP) IN THOSE days there appeared John the Baptist, preaching in the Wilderness (Desert) of Judea 2And saying, Repent ([a]think differently; change your mind, regretting your sins and changing your conduct), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.3This is he who was mentioned by the prophet Isaiah when he said, The voice of one crying in the wilderness (shouting in the desert), Prepare the road for the Lord, make His highways straight (level, [b]direct).4This same John's garments were made of camel's hair, and he wore a leather girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.5Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the country round about the Jordan went out to him;6And they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee and escape from the wrath and indignation [of God against disobedience] that is coming? 8Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart];9And do not presume to say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our forefather; for I tell you, God is able to raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones! 10And already the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
If we called some high profile or popular men who are well recognized in the field of Christian ministry a brood of vipers, how would many react? More or less their jaws would drop. Many would make an argument that the Body of Christ should not divide itself and work together in love. Many would argue that Satan is trying to divide the body. Many would probably call the person who said such a thing an accuser of the brethren. Some may say, "Don't touch God's anointed!" Many would say many things.
John the Baptist was man of God who spoke under the authority of the Holy Spirit. All true servants of God speak under the authority of the Holy Spirit. They do not speak out of their flesh. If they do, they quickly repent knowing the ramifications for they Fear God. John the Baptist didn't go around at free will calling other Pharisees or religious people "Brood of vipers." He said it in this point of time because he had received permission. He was speaking on behalf of the Holy Spirit under His authority. There is a difference when one speaks out of the flesh and when one speaks under the authority of the Holy Spirit.
Many Christians without asking the Holy Spirit judge situations they are not allow to judge. Many judge out of their flesh concluding out of their own understanding. Many need to watch and observe and let the Holy Spirit teach you. If I called some people a brood of vipers, how would many react? Well, we have already seen how many would react. Many react when they shouldn't. They should be taking it all to the Holy Spirit. They should watch and observe more cautiously if they are confused. Am I saying I know everything or anything? I know nothing but only know what the Holy Spirit gives me.
My fruit is in my messages and notes. My authority is in my messages and notes. Many of you not only know our authority and fruit from our notes but in other means. Beyond that, I generally keep silence and observe. But when the Holy Spirit releases us to speak, please know we speak under His authority. It is your job to take it in prayer and determine if what we speak is from Him and not our flesh. This is not only our messages but all others you read.
Matthew 7:19 (AMP) Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
Matthew 23:33-36(AMP) You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the [a]penalty to be suffered in hell (Gehenna)?34Because of this, take notice: I am sending you prophets and wise men (interpreters and teachers) and scribes (men learned in the Mosaic Law and the Prophets); some of them you will kill, even crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue and persecute from town to town,35So that upon your heads may come all the blood of the righteous ([b]those who correspond to the divine standard of right) shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar [of burnt offering].36Truly I declare to you, all these [[c]evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation
In Matthews 7:19 and Matthew 23:33, it is Jesus who is speaking. If you notice, it is pretty much in line of what John the Baptist had said to the Pharisees. John the Baptist was not speaking from his flesh or his own authority. He was speaking under the authority of God.
Acts 13:9-12 (AMP)But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, looked steadily at [Elymas]10And said, You master in every form of deception and recklessness, unscrupulousness, and wickedness, you son of the devil, you enemy of everything that is upright and good, will you never stop perverting and making crooked the straight paths of the Lord and plotting against His saving purposes?11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time. Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and he groped about seeking persons who would lead him by the hand.12Then the proconsul believed (became a Christian) when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished and deeply touched at the teaching concerning the Lord and from Him.
Paul was not a man who would speak out of his flesh or understanding. He was a man who spoke under the authority of the Holy Spirit. As you can see in Acts 13 verse 9, scripture says, he was filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul said, "You master in every form of deception and recklessness, unscrupulousness, and wickedness, you son of the devil, you enemy of everything that is upright and good, will you never stop perverting and making crooked the straight paths of the Lord and plotting against His saving purposes?11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time."
Are Christians allowed to say such things against other professing Christians or other people? Are we allowed to call people masters of deception, recklessness, wickedness, son of the devil, false prophet and/or the enemy? When we do observe people saying such things, the MOST IMPORTANT thing you must discern is are they speaking out of their own flesh or under the control and authority of the Holy Spirit as Paul had.
Because if you come against such rhetoric or God’s servants when it was spoken by the Holy Spirit, you come against God!! So it is better to stay neutral if you don’t know instead of acting out of the flesh and emotions. Learn to discern brethren instead of acting as a referee. Many of you do not even have the authority to be a referee. I say this for your own benefit. I do not say this to boast of our position.
Every note, message, or revelation, we put out trembling knowing if we speak from our own flesh, we are subject to His judgment and possibly WRATH!! Do you think we giggle when we are able to say, "Thus saith the Lord?" We post and speak cautiously knowing we serve a KING OF KINGS and it is NOT A SMALL THING TO MISREPRESENT HIM.
James 3:1 (AMP) NOT MANY [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].
We had already in our spirits known whose messages were suspicious but we did not come out then because if we did, we would have been speaking out of our own flesh and out of our authority. We at that time pointed to the context of the message and not the messenger(s). But now, we have had double confirmation from ourselves and a spiritual mentor that Augusto Maquengo is a FALSE PROPHET. We have been told by God to disclose this to the Body of Christ. It is not only a Sabbath issue, God said, "Augusto Maquengo is not one of HIS!" We are not dealing with a disobedient or rebellious servant. We are talking about a Wolf. The Pharisees that John the Baptist and Jesus called Vipers were not God's servants. They were snakes!
Do you think we will come up with such message so lightly? We are more cautious than eager. It is NOT about taking sides! It is NOT about them against us. IT IS ABOUT TRUTH!!!
Our job is done. We have presented the warning. It is up to you to take it to the Holy Spirit and ask HIM. As I previously said, our authority and fruit is in our messages and notes. We do not bring out redundant messages spun out 100 different time. We teach and preach spiritual meat to edify the Body. However, when spiritual meat is preached, not many can digest it. They vomit it out instead.

I WILL NOT TAKE THOSE WHO BUY, SELL AND PLAY GAMES IN MY HOLY DAY OF WORSHIP– SUNDAY OR SATURDAY WHICHEVER DAY YOUR LEADERS HAVE SET FOR YOU TO WORSHIP ME SHOULD BE FOR ME ALONE, IAM YOUR LORD. This Day MUST BE SANCTIFIED TO ME ALONE. PEOPLE DO NOT RESPECT ME THEIR LORD AND GOD. THEY TELL ME AND ARGUE WITH MY TRUE SERVANTS: This is law but we are in the time of grace.CAN NOT YOUR LORD BE RESPECTED AND REVERED? DOES GRACE MEAN BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO YOUR GOD? YOU ARGUE WITH ME EVEN IN PRAYER THE SAME WAY YOU WILL ARGUE WHEN YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE."

"Question: Can people work on Sunday? (For example: we all need electricity and water, people who work in hospitals, homes for old people who need care...)
Answer: 'There are always exceptions. Some people have to work on Sundays, as I have said in MY Word it is allowed to do good on the Sabbath day. What I do not allow is that those people make or spend money on this day. This money should go completely to MY Kingdom as a sacrifice. If those people choose to go to church on Saturday instead, then this must be their HOLY DAY to keep as MY Sabbath. I prefer Sundays, but I understand and know very well, there are always exceptions. So try to keep MY Sabbath on Sunday, but if you cannot make it for some reason, like working, or if you do not have a church who is keeping MY Day on Sundays, but instead on Saturdays, then this must be your Holy Day to keep as MY Sabbath. Is that clear? Do not mess with MY Day, as I see it as a HOLY ONE. So strive to do it on Sundays, if it is not possible, keep MY Day on a Saturday, where you go to church and honor and worship ME."
The choice is yours friend. We are not here to make friends. We are not here to have a popularity contest. We will hold our ground. We will not compromise. We will honor our God by NOT COMPROMISING HIS WORD for the sake of an itchy ear. We will NOT Compromise in fear of offending man. We are here for HIM, for HIS GLORY!!
May the Lord reveal His Truth to you. May He have mercy on those who are ignorant.

Does history repeat?
Many are afraid of the word "Judgment" But this word is used generically in the English bible. There are different levels of meaning. But most importantly, judgment is God's MERCY as well. It will reveal His Righteousness. God will use judgment to Glorify Himself and purge His people. We must look at biblical history to understand God's ways for His ways are higher
Judgment is coming to the US and the world. In this judgment, famine and food shortage will occur. He told us the time of abundance is OVER. But He will use this opportunity to display His Majesty and Power.
If we look at Moses and God's people, it was through the judgments of Egypt that led the wealth transfer from the wicked unto the righteous. By the time, God had dealt a severe blow onto Egypt, the Egyptians were begging the Israelis to leave and when God's people said give me your gold, they gave their wealth over.
With Joseph, during the 7 years of famine, people were starving so much, they were willing to give up their left kidney if they could. They gave up their lands and wealth for food. There was a transfer of wealth.
Famine and food shortage is once again in the horizon as judgment is at our door steps. Many talk about a wealth transfer from the wicked to the righteous. This is how God works. It is in the midst of darkness, His Light will Shine for His people. The unbelievers will see how God takes care of His people.
With the greater days upon us, God will supernaturally provide and the unbelievers will give up their wealth for food. Will history repeat again? The meek will inherit the earth.
May you pass your tests and trials to be ready for the task ahead of us brethren. The greater days are in the horizon. The Great Harvest and Revival are approaching.
John 14:12 (AMP) I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.
Matthew 5:5(AMP) Blessed (happy, blithesome, joyous, [a]spiritually prosperous--[b]with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering), for they shall inherit the earth!

The Eighth DAY
In our Gregorian calendar, the first day is Sunday. In God's calendar, the first day of the week is the Eighth day. The Lord resurrected on the third day which was our Sunday but on the Eighth day in eternity. The first day or eighth day is the day of Pentecost. It is the day of the Feast of Fruit Fruits. It is the eighth day. It is the day a Jewish baby boy was circumcised in the OT.
In the Old Testament, a Jewish baby boy was circumcised on the eighth day to represent the covenant between God and the baby. Male children even today are circumcised on the eighth day for health purposes. Jewish tradition called this circumcision "bris" which means covenant. The baby has gone through 7 days and enters a covenant with God on the eighth day. Circumcision represents the completion of the human being. The physical circumcision was a foreshadow of the requirement of the spiritual circumcision of the heart. In the NT, baby boys do not need to be physically circumcised. But we all do need to be circumcised in our hearts to enter the Kingdom of God.
Romans 2:25-29 Circumcision does indeed profit if you keep the Law; but if you habitually transgress the Law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.26So if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be credited to him as [equivalent to] circumcision?27Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the Law will condemn you who, although you have the code in writing and have circumcision, break the Law.28For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. 29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not from men but from God.
Leviticus 12:3 And on the eighth day the child shall be circumcised.
Deuteronomy 30:6 (AMP) And the Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with all your being, that you may live.
The bible does talk about an eighth day. It is a foreshadow of the millennium. Saturday or the 7th day was a foreshadow of the law. The eighth day represents Spirit/Grace. This is why we worship on Sundays which is the first day of the week to us but the eighth day in eternity. The eighth day represents us worshipping and being with the Lord in the millennium. Scripture has multiple references to an eighth day. Hebrews talks about a NEW Day in HIM to rest. Perhaps, since the other translation does not specifically state "new" many are confused but if you read Hebrews chapter 4 verse 4 to 7, it is implied there how many of the OT saints failed to enter His rest of the seventh day.
Hebrews 4:4-7 (AMP) For in a certain place He has said this about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.5And [they forfeited their part in it, for] in this [passage] He said, They shall not enter My rest. 6 Seeing then that the promise remains over [from past times] for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience, Again He sets a definite day, [a new] Today, [and gives another opportunity of securing that rest] saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.
The OT has many references to the eighth day. If one study the Feasts of the Messiah, there are foreshadows of the eighth day.
Numbers 29:35 (AMP) On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work.
Leviticus 23:36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation and you shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no laborious work on that day.
Leviticus 23:39 Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month [nearly October], when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days, the first day and the eighth day each a Sabbath
2 Chronicles 7:9 The eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for they had kept the dedication of the altar and the feast, each for seven days.
Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast for seven days; theeighth day was a [closing] solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
Ezekiel 43:27 And when these days have been accomplished, on the eighth day and from then on, the priests shall offer your burnt offerings upon the altar and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord God
It is truly sad that many Christians talk about living in the age of Grace yet put themselves back in the foreshadow of the law by worshiping on Saturdays or the 7th day. Do not be deceived brethren. Much of the nonsense about the Catholics or Emperor Constantine changing worship day to Sunday is incorrect, I believe it is mostly the propaganda by the 7th day Adventist.
If you dig deep into scripture, an eighth day is mentioned and foreshadowed. If you practice and believe in keeping Saturdays holy, you are subjecting yourself to the law even though you think you are under Grace. The 4th Commandment is the Lord's Day now. Sundays or the Eight Day is to be kept HOLY. Many Christians are being judged by God for breaking the Lord’s Day (Sunday) and they do not even realize it. Many are profaning His Holy Day on Sundays by participating and doing the things of the world. This is one of the kickers so to speak of why many have not achieved spiritual breakthrough.
Please do not believe the wolves that have crept in to state that we have the option to worship either on Sundays or Saturdays. Jesus was resurrected on the third day, our Sunday, or the Eighth day in Eternity. Do not think we have the power or authority to choose which day we are to define as the 4th Commandment. Do not think one verse such as Col 2:16 nullifies whether to keep the 4th Commandment or not. After judging and punishing so many people in the OT for profaning His Sabbaths, do we the NT saints think we have the nerve to think we get a free pass when we are more lukewarm than the OT saints? After all, the last church age is the lukewarm, is it not? If the Western Church is not lukewarm, then who is?
Judgment is coming to the Western Church because she is breaking God's commandments. History is repeating itself. The church gorges herself over worldly idols especially on HIS Holy Day mingling with the world using Grace as an excuse. Many do not think judgment is coming. Many think rapture is coming first when in fact many of them are breaking His commandments living like heathens!! Do you not think judgment is coming? Judgment is at our door steps for it starts FIRST IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD!!!! May He have mercy on us!!
1 Peter 4:17 (AMP) For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God?
Isaiah 2:12 For there shall be a day of the Lord of hosts against all who are proud and haughty and against all who are lifted up--and they shall be brought low--
Ezekiel 30:3 For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time [of doom] for the nations.
History has shown, in the midst of abundance, God’s people forsake Him. Through judgment His righteousness will be revealed and in the midst of suffering will come the Great Harvest and Revival.

I am requiring a deeper relationship. It is time, the last minute. I am coming My Children. You must enter a deeper relationship with Me. No more shallowness. No more shallowness. Many of you are misunderstanding about carrying the cross. Many of you are misunderstanding the meaning of the narrow way and narrow gate. You do not understand and do not know the true meaning.
Many are misunderstanding. Pray more and have a deeper relationship with Me. I will reveal it to you. Nothing is easy. Nothing is easy. No more easy way. You must spend time with Me. You must spend time with Me. Put yourself into the Word and prayer. You must spend time with Me. Do not depend on anybody. You must put in your effort to spend time with Me.

Individually seek Me. You are the army of the Lord. You are My soldiers. Do not depend on anybody. Start seeking Me. Spend time with Me. Shallow, you are too shallow My children. Go deeper with me, deeper relationship.
You are misunderstanding so many things. You get angry at Me. You get discouraged. You are saying, “Why are you not answering me God? You have forsaken me God. I will not cry out anymore because you are not listening to me. I think you are not listening to me.”
Oh My children, you do not see yourselves because you do not spend time with Me. You do not seek me with all your heart with all your might. You do not spend time with Me. You want it the easy way and you blame it on Me. Do not blame it on Me. It is you! It is you who do not seek me with all your might and all your heart. You must do it with all yourself. It is not going to be easy. Nothing is easy. It will cost you. There is a price for everything. You are the one stopping it. Search Me with all your heart and might. Pray, pray, pray, cry out to Me. I will answer you. Your shallowness will not get you anywhere. A deeper relationship is required.
I am God of the entire Universe. You will never get anything the easy way. Oh My children! Obey and obey."

Restoring Broken Fellowship
Spiritual restoration does not come overnight. Does physical restoration come over night? Can you lose 100 pounds in one night? One must be on the spiritual treadmill with a disciplined daily life of reading, praying, worship, living in holiness, following His commandments and separated from the world to restore any broken fellowship.
But it is YOU who must make the choice to do so. Life is a choice. Stop looking for the instant result for that is worldy. The fruit is bore at the end of the harvest. Many say they want God! Many say they will do anything. Many say they Love HIM. Then fast your way to Him. Cry your way to Him. Read your way to Him. Pray your way to Him. Worship your way to Him. Do you not know Love will cost you?
Love will cost you your time, your resources, and your life! But many do not want to pay the price to follow the Lord. Have you not realize even though Grace is free, it is not really free. It will cost you your life and your way of life!

Will you persevere and endure to the end?
Joel 2:12 (AMP) Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].
How does God discipline and chastise?
Many people pray asking God for help to stop the hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, etc not knowing it is GOD who is sending the hurricane, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, etc. It is God who withholds the rain. It is God who sends the drought. It is God who gives permission for the natural calamities. The only way we are going to stop it is if HIS people humble themselves and REPENT!
Christians must understand what God is capable of allowing when He sends judgment on His people who are rebellious and blind. It is HE who sends the famine or abundance. Understand HIM when He says My Ways are HIGHER. Ask HIM to search your hearts! For He is coming to judge His House. Most Christians have no idea what God does when He disciplines His own. Read your bible and learn what God is capable of allowing and sending!!
Leviticus 26 13- I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should no more be slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect [as free men].14But if you will not hearken to Me and will not do all these commandments,15And if you spurn and despise My statutes, and if your soul despises and rejects My ordinances, so that you will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant,16I will do this: I will appoint over you [sudden] terror (trembling, trouble), even consumption and fever that consume and waste the eyes and make the [physical] life pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.17I [the Lord] will set My face against you and [a]you shall be defeated and slain before your enemies; they who hate you shall rule over you; you shall flee when no one pursues you.18And if in spite of all this you still will not listen and be obedient to Me, then I will chastise and discipline you seven times more for your sins.19And I will break and humble your pride in your power, and I will make your heavens as iron [yielding no answer, no blessing, no rain] and your earth [as sterile] as brass. 20And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.21If you walk contrary to Me and will not heed Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.22I will loose the wild beasts of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few so that your roads shall be deserted and desolate.23If by these means you are not turned to Me but determine to walk contrary to Me,24I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you seven times for your sins. 25And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance [for the breaking] of My covenant; and you shall be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of the enemy. 26When I break your staff of bread and cut off your supply of food, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall ration your bread and deliver it again by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.27And if in spite of all this you will not listen and give heed to Me but walk contrary to Me,28Then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.29You shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.30And I will destroy your high places [devoted to idolatrous worship], and cut down your sun-images, and throw your dead bodies upon the [wrecked] bodies of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you [with deep and unutterable loathing].31I will lay your cities waste, bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet and soothing odors [of offerings made by fire].32And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.33I will scatter you among the nations and draw out [your enemies'] sword after you; and your land shall be desolate and your cities a waste.34Then shall the land [of Israel have the opportunity to] enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, to enjoy and receive payments for its sabbaths [divinely ordained for it].35As long as it lies desolate and waste, it shall have rest, the rest it did not have in your sabbaths when you dwelt upon it.36As for those who are left of you, I will send dejection (lack of courage, a faintness) into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a driven leaf shall put them to hasty and tumultuous flight, and they shall flee as if from the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.37They shall stumble over one another as if to escape a sword when no one pursues them; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.38You shall perish among the nations; the land of your enemies shall eat you up.39And those of you who are left shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away like them.
40But if they confess their own and their fathers' iniquity in their treachery which they committed against Me--and also that because they walked contrary to Me
41I also walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies--if then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they then accept the punishment for their iniquity,42Then will I [earnestly] remember My covenant with Jacob, My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham, and [earnestly] remember the land.
Amos 4:6-13 I also gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and want of bread in all your places; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.7And also I withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain upon one city and caused it not to rain upon another city; one piece of ground was rained upon, and the piece upon which it did not rain withered.8So [the people of] two or three cities wandered and staggered into one city to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.9I smote you with blight [from the poisonous east wind] and with mildew; I laid waste the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards; your fig trees and your olive trees the palmerworm [a form of locust] devoured; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.10I have sent among you the pestilence [which I made] epidemic in Egypt; your young men I slew with the sword and I took into exile your horses, and I made the stench of your camp come up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.11I have overthrown some among you as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.12Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel; and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!13For behold, He Who forms the mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what is his thought, Who makes the morning darkness and treads on the heights of the earth--the Lord, the God of hosts, is His name!

A Road of Suffering/Breaking
Your faith and belief MUST move from your head to your HEART. There are many "surface" Christians out there. How to do you get your faith and belief moved to your heart? It is a road of suffering. It is through suffering, humility, and breaking you will find the HEART of God. If we are to to enter the Kingdom of God and share in His glory we must share in His suffering.
Romans 8:17(AMP)And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.
Many do not realize that God allows circumstances in your life to prove you. It is allowed to purge you. It is allowed to determine whether your lip service is not just lip service and cliche of verses but your birth is from God. For scripture says, if you are born of God, you will Overcome! We must understand He is in control and what is allowed in our lives have purpose. But many are too busy attempting to get out of their difficult situations. Many are attempting to pray out of their situations. This is the wrong prayer. You must pray to overcome. You must pray not to give land back to the enemy! You must pray so you are able to hold your ground and possess it until the Lord returns or whether you go to Him first. You see, staying and holding your ground is not an easy feat. It is very painful. It is a time when your flesh is crucified. It is a time of testing. It is a time of spiritual beating. It is a time of dying to one self.
In the old days, they had to melt down steal or other metals in a terrible furnace of fire to remove the impurities. It is with gold as well. It must be melted down to remove the impurities. Then the steal or whatever metal they were using had to be beaten into shape in the heat. Then within time, as the potter/blacksmith beats the metal with the heat forms it into a Beautiful Sword. You are that beautiful sword. A sword to be part of His end time army in these last days. Will you let HIM finish? I know it hurts. I know you want to run. I know you want to be comfortable but if you run, you are running from HIS WILL!!! Do you not understand brethren? Death for life! Do you not understand? What do you think He means when He says "My ways are Higher?" He will use all circumstances for His Glory and to purge you. There is a lesson or message in all your circumstances. The basic question you must ask is, 'Why are You allowing this, Lord?'
1 John 5:3-5 For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous).4For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.5Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?
If you run to comfort, you are running to religion. If you run from the pain that is required to break you, you are changing roads from the narrow road to the wide road. You must overcome! A few years back, God impressed a question on me. If we do not overcome our situations, we better ask ourselves if we are even born of God!! Or was it all lip service!
Many of you need to prepare to step out of your comfort zone. Many of you need to ask the Lord to break you or further break you. Many of you need to ask the Lord to take you lower and lower. But many are too afraid to ask such a request from the Lord. Why? Because it will cost you. It will cost you your comfort. It may cost you everything you possess. It may cost you your life. Do you know it is a hard thing to ask God for such a thing? How many of you have asked Him to break you further knowing you it will come at a very high cost? But you must ask!! It is the road to Life! Either volunteer now or it will be all taken involuntarily from you! Dark and difficult days are coming. Persevere and pass your tests now or be severely tested later.
God allows our faith to be assaulted. Otherwise, pride, ignorance, comfort, complacency, etc may set in. But when your faith is assaulted, will you continue to press forward even though you may no longer feel He is around you? Will you continue to go forward all the way? Will you go for broke even though you may not sense He is around you? Or will you give up? Stop speaking word of defeat!!
There may be periods or seasons when you do not feel or hear Him. There may be periods or seasons when He showers you with His gifts and presence. But most importantly you must move forward and continue to press into Him. Know when you suffer, you may not always feel Him around you but it is when He is watching you most closely. Will you suffer for Christ? Even in life, it does not matter how you start but more importantly how you finish. Many with high expectations start and run a marathon, but how many really finish?
Continue to press into Him. Continue to pray, read, and worship. Continue to move forward. Spiritual breakthroughs and blessings come at the end. There is always an appointed time for everything. It does not come overnight. It may take a life time to bring you into spiritual maturity. Do not rely on what is happening in the physical realm. He is teaching you to move in faith!!!
1 Peter 4:13 (AMP) But insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly].
All the Glory to HIM

Soldiers of the Cross
Isaiah 60:1-3
Fire of God
Are you crucified with Christ?
God uses Love and Mercy to get you in the door but after that it is purging time. Yes, it is painful. The road to life is painful but it brings life. Is death not painful? Yes, when the flesh dies it is painful but we must die daily. It is a process of sanctification that must be completed. It is mandatory. Many seem to come close to the cross but never finish it. Instead, they run from the pain.
Death for life. Do you not understand this concept? The Lord had to die so we can live. The wheat germ must fall and die to produce a harvest. Our flesh and the old man must die so our spirit grows and lives. All that you had depended on the Babylonian system must die as well. Your dependence must be God. Death can be painful process yet it is very liberating.
When you run from the pain required to purge you, you RUN FROM GOD'S WILL. You must learn to digest the spiritual meat that is given. You cannot continue on milk alone or forever. Spiritual maturity is a mandate.
Let us die to self. Stop bursting out in anger. Stop taking a second look at the women crossing. Stop speaking negative words. Stop using foul languages. Stop bashing your leaders. Stop gossiping. Stop doing the things of the world. You must stop it. Sanctification is a painful process but it is required for salvation. Scripture says, Be Holy for He is Holy. No one will see the Lord without Holiness.
Col 3:5-14 " So kill (deaden, [a]deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God). 6It is on account of these [very sins] that the [holy] anger of God is ever coming upon the sons of disobedience (those who are obstinately opposed to the divine will),7Among whom you also once walked, when you were living in and addicted to [such practices].8But now put away and rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!9Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices,
10And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect [b]knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.11[In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There [c]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [[d]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [[e]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].12Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper].13Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].14And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].
Hebrews 12:14 (AMP) Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord

Make a Choice to continue forward
Almost nothing is granted overnight. One must continue to press forward in prayer, reading, and worship until spiritual breakthrough. We, the western church, are like the Romans of before. We are impatient and on the go. A fast moving paced culture and people. We perceive spiritual things like we do McDonald's. We go up the drive through and expect our answers overnight.
In fact, we do not even want to spend the time cooking anymore. We can't even wait 2 minutes in front of the microwave. We expect others to prepare our meals and if they are not up to par, we get restless and take it out on a minimum wage hard working noble worker.
Our spirituality has become such as our culture. We want God on demand and we want it now! Most of us have no idea why we are sick. Most of us have or are running from our trials and tests instead of overcoming them. Most of us have fallen away to religion and do not even realize it. Most are gorging over idols, profaning His Holy Day (Sundays) stealing His money and wondering why our lives are in such chaos with no peace?
If we had decided to stick it out and overcome, we would have peace even though our flesh would have been torn apart because our spirits would have been growing and living. But because many took the easy way out for the comfort of their flesh, their spirits are in torment and not whole.
What to do church? Many say they will die for Jesus but can't even fast to overcome hunger for three days. How will we stand when judgment comes? Do you not realize judgment is coming for a lukewarm church? At least if one was cold, one would know they still need to go back to Jesus. But when one is lukewarm, one does not even realize they are on the road to hell.
Jeremiah 16:10-12 (AMP) And when you tell these people all these words and they inquire of you, Why has the Lord decreed all this enormous evil against us? Or, What is our iniquity? Or, What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?11Then you shall say to them, [It is] because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have walked after other gods and have served and worshiped them and have forsaken Me and have not kept My law,12And because you have done worse than your fathers. For behold, every one of you walks after the stubbornness of his own evil heart, so that you do not listen to and obey Me.
Prepare for dark and difficult days. Judgment is coming and it is coming hard!!
Joel 2:12 (AMP) Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

Faith and Works
James 2:24 "You see that a man is justified (pronounced righteous before God) through what he does and not alone through faith [through works of obedience as well as by what he believes]."
Salvation can be viewed as a two sided coin, Grace and works of obedience.
Romans 3:24(AMP) "[All] are justified and made upright and in right standing with God, freely and gratuitously by His grace (His unmerited favor and mercy), through the redemption which is [provided] in Christ Jesus,"
Romans 5:1 (AMP) THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified ([a]acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to [b]enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
In Romans 5:1, it states we are justified righteous through faith. What is the biblical definition of faith? In James chapter 2, it defines biblical faith as your works of obedience. If you go to Hebrews chapter 11 which also defines faith, it give several example of the Old Testament saints of what they had done. It is not a thought. It is action. Faith is action. It is doing what we are told to do by the Holy Spirit and the Word because we believe it. Those who walk in true faith are led by the Spirit.
We do not want to believe as the demons believe for scripture says they believe and shudder. Therefore, there is a way to believe that will one day make some shudder when they see God.
James 2:19 "You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder [in terror and horror such as [a]make a man's hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin]!"
Every so called Christian will claim to have faith. However, where are those James is inquiring about? Where are those who walk it? Where are those who live it?
Therefore, your faith is not evident by lip service or just going to church once a week. It is evident by your works of obedience and not humanism. Humanism is doing your own "good works" to prove your a good person instead of doing what God told you to do.
James 2:17-18 So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).18 But someone will say [to you then], You [say you] have faith, and I have [good] works. Now you show me your [alleged] faith apart from any [good] works [if you can], and I by [good] works [of obedience] will show you my faith.
Many argue that their salvation is not based on "works." Well, they are correct to a certain degree. Our salvation is based on our faith expressed through our works of obedience. Many say they have faith but many are in disobedience. May those who are in rebellion repent and return to their First Love. Ask God to search your hearts for many who are in rebellion have no idea they are in sin or rebellion.
America, I weep for you for what is coming. Repent and return to Him for she is lukewarm.
Jeremiah 2:31-35 O generation [that you are]! Behold, consider, and regard the word of the Lord: Have I been a wilderness to Israel [like a land without food]? A land of deep darkness [like a way without light]? Why do My people say, We have broken loose [we are free and will roam at large]; we will come no more to You? 32Can a maid forget and neglect [to wear] her ornaments, or a bride her [marriage] girdle [with its significance like that of a wedding ring]? Yet My people have forgotten Me, days without number. 33How you deck yourself and direct your way to procure [adulterous] love! Because of it even wicked women have learned [indecent] ways from you.34Also on your skirts is found the lifeblood of the persons of the innocent poor; you did not find them housebreaking, nor have I found it out by secret search. But it is because of [your lust for idolatry that you have done] all these things--[that is everywhere evident.] 35Yet you keep saying, I am innocent; surely His anger has turned away from Me. Behold, I will bring you to judgment and will plead against you because you say, I have not sinned.

Stop complaining of your leaders
Many Christians have a lot of anger and hate toward their governmental leaders such as Obama or Bush. When you meet God, He is going to hold you responsible. Judgment is coming to the USA not because of Obama or Bush. It is coming because we Christians have let this nonsense happen on our watch. We will be held responsible. Why will we Christians be held responsible?
We have the POWER through Prayer to change things. We have the ability to get on our knees and REPENT for this country. But yet, many Christians bicker, complain, and grumble of their leaders. Do you not know you are usurping God's authority? We have the Power to bind and loose what is in heaven and what is on earth. Yet, many of you have become religious and we look for a humanistic way out....
Romans 13:2 (AMP) Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].
Many Christians contributed to this debt as we bought bigger houses, bigger cars, maxed out our credit cards, and so on and now we think we going to get rapture out of here so quickly? You are in for a big disappointment. God has impressed on me that He will NOT RAPTURE A BLOATED MICROWAVE DRIVE THROUGH WESTERN CHURCH WHO IS GORGING THEMSELVES OVER IDOLS.
Stop blaming everyone else. You are partaking the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, God asked Adam if he had eaten the forbidden fruit. Adam blames GOD and Eve blames the serpent.
Genesis 3:12-13 (AMP)12And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me--she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate.13And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (cheated, outwitted, and deceived) me, and I ate.
See how Adam says the woman you gave me? Stop partaking the fruit of death, you are bringing judgment on yourselves by bashing your leaders and complaining. Your job is to PRAY for them!!
Judgment is coming for the USA. God told us unless the Christians in this country get on their knees and repent, Judgment is coming. Yet, many still waste time blaming others.
Do you not understand the Full Counsel of God to know God has allowed Bush and Obama to be in office for such a time as this?
James 5:5 (AMP)[Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Genesis 3:12-13 (AMP)12And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me--she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate.13And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (cheated, outwitted, and deceived) me, and I ate.
See how Adam says the woman you gave me? Stop partaking the fruit of death, you are bringing judgment on yourselves by bashing your leaders and complaining. Your job is to PRAY for them!!
Judgment is coming for the USA. God told us unless the Christians in this country get on their knees and repent, Judgment is coming. Yet, many still waste time blaming others.
Do you not understand the Full Counsel of God to know God has allowed Bush and Obama to be in office for such a time as this?
James 5:5 (AMP)[Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Digesting spiritual meat?
I had a dream last night. In my dream, I saw many Christians gathered togather to have fellowship. Their faces expressed happiness and satisfaction. The room was big and luxurious. Soon, I saw pastor Kim, Yong Doo enter the room. He was looking around at the food dishes which were placed on all the tables. The food consisted of cheap vegetables like cabbage. He said, "We need some meat here. Go out and buy some meat."
I then ran outside to buy meat. I took the train to buy meat. The train was running just fine, but outside the window, I saw the train tracksl ahead of me and they were broken. The train was about to derail and fall. I screamed. The train derailed and fell from its tracks. Among all the train cars, I was the only one who did not hurt. I then woke up.
The Holy spirit gave me the interpretation of the dream
He said, many Christians are eating the easy digestable gospel. They only want something easy and fast.
Many or most Christians often get offended when the true gospel is preached (meat) becasue they do not want to chew and wait until the time required to digest. When we begin to preach the 4th commandment (Keeping Sundays Holy) or giving proper tithes to the Lord, many will come against this truth because it is meat and not cheap vegetable anymore. The Western Church has become a church that has mostly abandoned God's commandments. How can the church say she loves God when the church does not follow His commandments?
John 14:21
Amplified Bible (AMP)
21The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]
When new wine and new skin is preached and taught, many will get offended and will come against it because it may sound foreign to them. When we teach preparedness for the coming difficult days and ask them to build up the strength to be martyred if necessary, they will get offended and will come agains the with easy digestable gospel. In my dream, Holy Spirit was speaking in the form of Pastor Kim, Yong Doo. He wanted Christians to stop swallowing the easy food but now to start chewing on the meat which can be tough and hard. He is disappointed with many Chrisitians. He is telling us to grow up.
As I rode the train, I was the only one who had buckled up with seat belt. The belt represents the belt of truth. Out of all that train cars, the train car I was only did not crash. The Holy Spirit later explained that I was buckled up with His Truth. Nothing will harm me with His belt of Truth.
Brethrens, so many false messages are circulating around. We are in serious times. I see so many dear brethren decieved with the easy gospel. We are living in the times as the bible warns that if possible, even the elect can be decieved.
Please wake up and listen to the Holy Spirit! He wants us to grow up! We must understand one thing. Nothing is easy in this world. Everything comes with a price. The better things even in this life are more expensive! Please ask God over and over again before you blindly follow any message. Only FEW, I will say it again, FEW Will be saved! The road is narrow! If what you follow is easy, please reconsider the road you are on.
I am praying for everyone.
"Father God. Let our hearts be your Heart. Let the ears of our hearts only hear Your Truth. Let the eyes of our heart only see Your Truth. Let our tongues and mouths only speak Your Truth. Wrap us around with Your Truth. Help us not to be decieved. Help us not to be counterfeited. Help us not become corrupted. Help us so we do not fall away. Let your will be done in our lives. I pray this pray in the almighty name of Jesus!!!!! Amen!!!"
Glory to God
