THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US
Greetings everyone from The Delusion Resistance. Well, we're sort of on sabbatical but that is coming to a close very soon we both feel. In either case when the book starts to sell it will be a signal to end the sabbatical. That doesn't mean that we cannot minister from time to time as the need arises. The ushering forth of the holiday season is a good reason to temporarily come out of sabbatical to write a few things that are on our hearts, as well as to wish everyone a wonderful Hanukkah and/or Christmas. With so many things coming against both the Christian and Jewish faiths we sometimes forget about the true meanings of the holidays. We tend to see Christmas as a chore, at least those of us who are more mature. By nature I am a kidder and I like to test the waters from time to time. One of my favorite things to do at Thanksgiving is to remind people that it is only a month till Christmas. Almost invariably the response to my reminder is the moan of people who have children and grandchildren as they see the deadline growing short for them to buy all of their gifts. Sadly, this is a time when a lot of people go into debt. I think that if Yeshua would voice his opinion about all of the spending and such, He would gently rebuke us and tell us that first, his birthday isn't that important and second he would tell us that if the holiday becomes a burden or it places people into bondage then he is opposed to such a notion. I think that he sees more importance in the holiday being a time of restored relationships between friends and family, and also between his children and himself. I don't pretend to know the whole heart and mind of Yahweh and anyone that does assert that they know such things should be avoided at all costs. But I do surmise that there is a reason why we celebrate the birth of the savior of the world at or around the same time as Hanukkah. Albeit, Yeshua was probably born sometime in early October we can celebrate his birth anytime and we celebrate his death and resurrection hopefully every day that we're alive. The miracle of Hanukkah was that after the overthrow of the Greeks during the time of the Maccabean revolt in the second century BC. During that time the Beit Ha Mikdash (Holy Temple) had been desecrated by Antiochus IV at or around 167 BC. At that time Antiochus ordered that an altar to Zeus be erected in the Beit Ha Mikdash and that a pig was to be offered as sacrifice. This caused the Jews, under the Maccabean leaders to revolt and they were successful in ridding themselves of the Greeks and set to the task of cleansing the Temple. During that time it was discovered that most of the oil for the lamps in the Temple had been profaned and that there was only one day's worth of oil. That oil miraculously lasted for eight days upon which time more oil had been made and sanctified for Temple use. There are however types in this story that point to Yeshua. We see the miracle of Yahweh (the Light of The World) coming as Yeshua to redeem mankind. We see the dedication of the Beit Ha Mikdash as a type of dedication by Yahweh to redeem mankind. The cleansing of the Temple could be likened to the work of Yeshua in the cleansing of men from their sin. We can see the fleeing of the forces of Antiochus as a parallel of the fact that Satan has to flee in the presence of Yeshua. In essence, we see the Miracle of Lights as a foreshadow of when the "Light of The World" would come to earth. Olive oil is symbolic of the Ruach Ha Kodesh and His ministry and the fact that the oil for one day burned for eight is reminiscent of how the Holy Spirit is miraculously with us continually. It must be remembered that at the time that the miracle of Hanukkah had occurred it was a quiet period in Israel. There were no prophets and it appeared that Yahweh was not to be found. The miracle of Hanukkah was, we feel, Yahweh's attempt to let the Jewish people of that time know, that although it was a silent period, Yahweh was still with them. In the same way, we are to know that in times of adversity, when it seems like we're walking though trials all alone; Yahweh is always by our side walking with us. We're never alone! In our Messianic realm, when we light our Shabbat Candles every Friday we change the traditional prayer and we say this:
English Version:
So, although the birth of our Savior isn't really celebrated in the correct time of the year, it appears that Hanukkah and Christmas are made to go together. They are sort of like a banana split; without the banana or without the ice cream it ceases to be a banana split. In the same way the holiday season isn't a real holiday season unless Hanukkah and Christmas around the same time of year. So, for all of you who celebrate Yeshua's birthday, we wish you all a blessed celebratory time. For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, we wish you a blessed celebratory time. And, for those of us who celebrate both, well, we're just blessed out of our socks!! Oh, and while we're at it, we pray for you a wonderful and blessed 2010.
Recently I felt the urging or the Ruach Ha Kodesh to publish a letter about how to deal with people who contact Christian counselors of Alien Abduction when they are challenged by someone who calls and claims that they have used the Name of Jesus and that it has not worked to ward off or stop fallen angel harassment (Alien Abduction). Below is that article:
WHICH JESUS? By David Ben Yakov Copyright 2009 From time to time we've gotten phone calls asking for counseling and in some rare instances the person that called asks a question that at first we found hard to answer. The person on the other end of the phone, or in the e-mail that we receive states to us that they have used the name of Jesus to try to thwart an abduction and it has not worked. Having been perplexed about this Jim Wilhelmsen and I asked in prayer for God to reveal to us why this was happening. In the vast majority of cases the following was found to be true. First and foremost, we have to start off by saying that our claim is that, when confronted by these entities, the use of the name of Jesus makes demons, fallen angels and yes, even aliens flee. We only use the words aliens, whom we know to be fallen angels, in order to please those who make that distinction. It all started years ago when I received a phone call from a woman who was sort of irate with me and our ministry. She insisted that our claim in which we state that the name of Jesus, when used at the beginning of, or during a alien abduction event will force the entities to end their attack and will cause them to leave. Our claim was based on personal testimony and the testimony of many who had made the same discovery by using Jesus' name to end such an event. The woman on the phone was adamant though in her accusation; claiming that we were not telling the truth, simply because this method had not worked for her. We talked for a little while and I felt the urging of the Holy Spirit to ask the woman a question; that being who she knew Jesus to be. I mean after all, if you're home is being robbed and you call the police to come to your aid; you have called them because you know that they have the power and authority to stop the robbery and to apprehend the assailants and throw them in jail. You wouldn't call a fireman, or a doctor or your plumber because you know that they do not have the right authority and because it could cause these extra individuals to be harmed in addition to yourself. After I asked my caller the question she answered quickly and told me that she knew Jesus to be the Christ Consciousness. This is a New Age term that basically says that if we all try hard enough we can have the same power and authority that Jesus Christ had or has. It is saying that "you too can be Jesus Christ, just like Jesus was because you can have the same spirit that Jesus had." Well, this is the same old lie that leads men astray; the lie that says that men can attain godhood; can be their own gods and be equals with Jesus Christ. We know from Biblical text that this is the same lie that Lucifer told to Eve, "...you shall be like God." Of course, those who have even the littlest bit of discernment know that this is not the Holy Spirit talking, but it is the spirit of antichrist. I knew that the rest of my time on the phone with this woman would be short. I was going to have to show her that she was calling on the wrong Jesus and I would have to do that by showing here the real Jesus Christ. I knew that I was going to have to talk quickly but succinctly in order to get in every word that I could before she would hang up. While I talked I could hear the disapproving sighs on the other end of the phone and finally she interrupted me saying, "I'm going to end this call now." I told her to wait just a few seconds. I told her that now she knew the truth and was responsible to act upon the truth. Then I very quickly told her that the next time she was harassed by fallen angels in the guise of aliens, that she should call out to the Jesus Christ of the Bible. She terminated the call. All one has to do is to do a little study about who the New Age people think Jesus is. A little bit of research yielded the following definition of New Age's view of Jesus:
So as you can see, the Jesus that my caller was calling to for help is not the Jesus of the Bible. He has no affiliation with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and if anything, he is a counterfeit of Yahweh Yeshua; the person that Christians in the western world call Jesus Christ. The Jesus that she believes in is just another man who "took on the christ consciousness" at his baptism and lost it when he died on the cross. The Jesus of the Bible on the other hand, was unique and separate from all other men. He claimed to be the Son of God and claimed to be God Himself; not a small part of the universe, but the creator of the universe itself. When this woman was calling out to her Jesus, she was calling out to the same personages that were giving her all of the trouble. It is akin to running to the sheriff's department and asking them for help because the FBI had you on their wanted list; or calling on the name of the German high command to protect you from the Gestapo. Whatever way you look at it, if your impression of Jesus is the New Age Jesus then to call on it (yes, I won't even call that Jesus a "him") then all you are doing is calling on the enemy for the protection from the enemy. One can only imagine how the powers of darkness get amusement from people who do this. So what about when a Muslim calls on the name of Jesus, if that would ever happen. Well, if they are read up on the Biblical Jesus, and they call on Him for salvation from fallen angel abduction then this could quite possibly work to stop the abduction. However, if they see Jesus as just another prophet; someone who is lower in status than the prophet Mohammed, then calling on "Issa" (the Arabic word for Jesus) might not help them. The Islamic religion teaches that Jesus was another prophet and that he was a teacher, but that when he hung on the cross the angels rescued him and brought him to heaven; no atoning death for sinners and no resurrection. They deny the virgin birth, the divinity and the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, and of course they deny the resurrection of our Lord. If that is the definition that a person has of Jesus, then they don't see the power in the name and blood of Jesus, therefore they cannot possibly think that there is authority in his name. Any Mormon who has read the Mormon literature in depth, and believes it has to come to grips that they do not believe in the same Jesus that the Bible speaks of. The Book of Mormon is placed in much higher regard than the Bible by most Mormons and it teaches some strange dogma. For instance, Mormonism teaches that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. It teaches that God the Father is flesh and blood, and that he spends all of his time having sex with his spirit brides in order to make spirits to inhabit humans on earth at their birth. In essence, they present a different Jesus then the Bible does, therefore it is a counterfeit Jesus. We do recognize that many Mormons aren't clear about Jesus and it is possible that they haven't read the lies in the Mormon literature, therefore they might have some knowledge of the Biblical Jesus, and therefore if they call on the Name of Jesus for salvation from alien abduction, they just might have success. Again, it is all dependent on your heart's belief of who Jesus actually is. It is probably true that those who adhere to the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses would not have success if they call on the Name of Jesus for salvation. They deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, which means that they ultimately deny His authority. This would be true for any Christian cult; anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus is the Son of God and God Himself. If Jesus was as many of these people assert; just a prophet or a wise man or a magician or any of the out of the box titles that some people have for Him, then He would have no authority, seeing that he never had any authority and most of all, if He isn't what He says that He is, then He is just another pile of bones laying in some nondescript grave somewhere in Israel. But since He did die, then rose on the third day and ascended into Heaven then He is with no doubt the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and as He said:
This same Jesus, who gave up His godly place so that He could be an atonement for sin later was given back that authority and He retains it forevermore. Some have made unsubstantiated claims that people have used other names to stop alien abduction. We doubt this to be true; but what if it did actually happen? Well, it really wouldn't mean anything. We all know how the powers of the earth act and how they deal. Let's say for instance that the powers of evil saw that people like whom we have listed on this site as being overcomers of alien abduction were proclaiming their success and that others were listening and following their advice and were too having success. Wouldn't it be advantageous for the evil forces to back off when someone in the Muslim world used the name of Mohammed, or someone in India used the name of Shiva to ward off alien abduction? These claims wouldn't hold any validity because all that happened was that the enemy withdrew from an attack in order to create the deception that other names work to ward off alien abduction. Here is an example of how this works. On our website at www.delusionresistance.org we have published our research that shows that whenever there is a fulfillment of scripture, or something that is associated with such a fulfillment, or whenever revivals or important Christian happenings are occurring, there is usually a large UFO flap (a grouping of sightings) at or around the same time and location. If the prophetic event or revival is something that is broadcast worldwide then there is usually a global flap. This doesn't mean that the forces behind the UFO phenomenon are endorsing what God is doing. No, in fact the UFO flap is happening to take the eyes of people off of what God is doing. People tend to forget that warfare was taught to humanity through the fallen angels. This being the case, it is not at all hard to determine that Satan and his minions have the ability to use whatever tactics they feel necessary to dupe mankind; even if that means pulling away from an alien abduction event in order to make it seem like a name other than Jesus can be used to stop such an event. Names like Mohammed, Buddha, any of the thousands of Hindu gods and the supposed deities of any other religion cannot and will not truthfully stop alien abduction or any other sort of demonic or fallen angelic harassment. We'll let the Bible speak the rest:
And:
The word in Greek for "devils" is really translated better to be "demons." Notice that it says that we can take up serpents? It is interesting to note that in UFOlore, the "reptilians" are known to be near the top of the hierarchy of power. Reptiles are synonymous with serpents. The Greek word for "they shall take up," in modern English means that they will be picked up and thrown aside violently. This scripture is basically telling us that we will have dominion over alien beings with the power and authority Jesus gives us by His name and through His blood.
If you haven't done so already then you should really go to the testimonies located on this website to read about how people chased the little buggers away and how they gained total victory over alien abduction by having a relationship with God Almighty through Jesus Christ. I ask that you please indulge us for a little while. We've mentioned above that there are many religions; a few mainline religions and a lot of offshoot religions from the mainline faiths. Living in California we have noticed that aside from our state being multicultural, it is becoming multi-religious too. At my current workplace we have a large flavor of people; all kinds, from all over Asia, Europe and a lot of the Americas. One day God showed me something that was to me quite profound. I sneezed and I had several people cast blessings my way. Several years ago that would have not been a problem because all of the people casting the blessings were people who associated the God of their blessings as the Judeo/Christian God. What He showed me is that I was being blessed by Buddhists, Muslims, Hindu's and Taoists. Now don't get me wrong, they all had the best of intentions at heart, but what they didn't realize is that the deities that are the foundations of their religions are in direct opposition to Yahweh; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So, what many of us prefer to do is to use Yahweh (some write it YHWH, YVWH, or Yahveh) when we are addressing the name of the Hebrew God and the Christian God, for those who see Yahweh as being God. There are so many sects anymore that it is hard to keep up with what everyone believes. We believe that as our society continues to fall into the morass of multicultural doctrine that the use of Yahweh will become quite necessary so as to differentiate between Yahweh and Allah, or Yahweh and Brahman or Yahweh and any other being or entity that people refer to as god. In essence, the name "God" is becoming quite generic and there is a critical need for clarity. There is one more thing that we need to talk about before this article ends. We talked about Muslims, Buddhists, Hindu's and others and how the names of their religious founders cannot find success by using those names to ward off alien abduction. They would basically be stuck in their malady with no way out, until of course they heard the truth about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they were introduced to the real Jesus. I would even dare to say that if someone of one of those persuasions would come to this site and they would read about God's remedy for alien abduction and for sin, and they would call out on the name of Jesus, believing that the Biblical Jesus could stop abduction, then they would have success. We would have to surmise that in most cases this would start that person on the path to salvation through Jesus Christ. We often use an analogy that Yahweh gave me a few years ago that illustrates the need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ in order for alien abduction to end in one's life. The story goes like this. There is a boy from an orphanage that plays at the playground with all of the other kids. After school they all run to the playground to have fun in many different ways. There is a bully that has singled out the orphan kid because the orphan is very spindly and awkward; the sort of kid that bully's always seek out. After several weeks of being harassed the police chief's kid sees this going on and befriends the orphan kid. He tells him that whenever the bully starts to harass him, that he should mention the name of his new friend and the bully will stop. Well, this works for a while, but the bully starts to harass the orphan again but he goes away whenever the chief's son's name is mentioned. The chief comes to the playground one day and sees this and has compassion on the orphan. He and his wife can't have kids anymore and it would be nice to have another boy around the home as a brother for his son; so he adopts the orphan kid. A few days later they're at the playground again and the bully comes over and starts to harass our young friend again. However, this time the former orphan has the power and authority that comes with the name of the police chief. He is related to him now and that relationship has changed the rules drastically for the bully. The ruffian fears the police chief and he knows that if he continues to harass the chief's new son there will be severe punishment; so he looks for another kid to bully. The story is wonderful and it illustrates in simple terms how the name of Jesus and a relationship with Him gives power and authority to those being bullied by fallen angels in the guise of extraterrestrials. But what if the orphan sought out other kids for help. What if he knows that palling up with the chief's son is the most sensible thing to do, but he feels like this relationship would be too burdensome or perhaps that in such a friendship there would be no fun. Let's look at others he could try to befriend. He tried to pal up with the butcher's son (Mohammed) because the butcher (Allah) has lots of knives and has bloody hands all the time; that is intimidating isn't it? The bully isn't scared because his dad owns the building that contains the butcher's store. He makes friends with the brothel owner's son (Brahman) and uses his name when confronted by the bully; but the bully just laughs because his father was the founder of the brothel and he can pull strings there. He then pals up with the philosopher's son (Buddah) and cries out his name as the bully pummels him; but the bully just laughs as he keeps assaulting the boy; his father owns the publishing house that prints the books for the philosopher. He then befriends the psychic's son (New Age) thinking that perhaps his mother can cast a spell on the bully; but the bully laughs because his father is having an affair with the fortune teller. Finally, he just gives up and becomes the whipping post for the bully; doing anything he can to appease him. Sooner or later he is either dead or he's in prison, having broken the law under the strong hand of the bully. Lesson learned through all of this is that there is only one name, and one owner of that Name that can save. His name is Jesus Christ, or Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Hebrew name) and all power has been given to Him. He is not a way; he is THE WAY.
Finally, if there be any doubt as to the authority of Jesus Christ, let's look at one more scripture that will certify that HIS name is the only name that can truly stop abduction events and can end alien abduction forever:
People like Mohammed, Buddha, Confucius and the founders of all other religions have lived their time on earth, they died and are buried somewhere. Avatars like Krishna and Shiva are demonic entities that cannot help you. The "universal power," and the "Christ Consciousness" cannot help to save you from alien abduction. Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and only He is able to save someone from a life pattern of alien abduction. The fallen angels that perpetuate the lie of alien abduction are subject to Jesus Christ and someday the will all be thrown into a lake of fire to suffer forever for their rebelliousness.
We offer a challenge to anyone who doubts what we have said. If you have been harassed by fallen angels in the guise of "space aliens," then we challenge you to cry out the name of the biblical Jesus Christ during an attempted abduction. If you have the slightest bit of faith that name of Jesus Christ can send the aliens packing, they will have to depart. The ball is now in your court, so to speak. You now know the truth about how to stop the harassment. Are you humble enough to put this to the test? Are you willing to set aside all of your preconceived notions about Jesus Christ? You can find freedom, or you can remain a slave; it is your choice. We pray that you choose wisely. The PAAPSI Group.
The Fundamental Transformation
The following is a list of offenses that Barack Hussein Obama has committed against the people of The United States of America. While some might see this as an indictment of Barack Hussein Obama by one or a group of individuals; this is not really true. We're told in Scripture that we'll know a tree by its fruits.
When you read the list below you will see that by his own words and actions, Obama is not a friend of the American People, but a Marxist who is dead set on transforming the United States from a Constitutional Republic to a socialist dictatorship. So what is the indictment? We'll look at these things and then we'll look at why Yahseh is letting these things happen. Let's look at Obama's fruit:
-----------------------
The Fundamental Transformation
Author Unknown
Any one of these things; in and of themselves does not really matter. But.... when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this; do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Personally, I like happy endings.
If you are an Obama Supporter, please do not be angry with me because I think your president is a socialist. There are too many facts supporting this. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you; we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person; pray for our nation.
Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth?
Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn't. Please, find the truth, it will set you free.
Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, or Iran; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC .
---------------
There is no reason to doubt that there will be more offenses perpetrated against us by this debase and wicked man and his cronies. It is possible that he will see his plans come into fruition and that our once free nation will become a large interment camp for dissidents that number in the tens of millions. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that with our nation removed as the last bastion of freedom in this world, our persecution will be like none seen on the face of the earth. The New World Order hates freedom loving people like us and they would like nothing better to see us removed from the face of the earth.
I know that it doesn't sit well with a lot of people, but we have to wake up and realize that our nation is being judged for a multitude of sins. The church for the most part has been quiet as sins like abortion, homosexuality and abuse of women and children has raged out of control for many decades. The world is supposed to do wicked things, but Christians are supposed to be a light that shines upon darkness, and truth be told, our light has been flickering like a neon light bulb that has lost its gas. We can blame the world, but not speaking up and acting when injustices are being done is a sin in Yahweh's eyes, even more so than the sins that unrepentant sinners commit.
So while it is natural to be angered when we see the misdeeds of a self deluded megalomaniac who sits in the highest office of our government, we have to recognize that he is a tool that Yahweh is using to judge our nation. If when you were young your dad used a belt to punish you for something that you did wrong you didn't feel that the belt was punishing you. No, you knew that your dad was using the belt as a tool to administer punishment. Barack Hussein Obama is a tool that is being used to correct an egocentric society that has gone out of its way to deny Yahweh and break his laws. If you get mad at Obama for what is happening, you aren't just getting mad at the instrument of correction; you are in essence angry with the one giving correction; and any way that you look at it, that is a sin.
There are many parallels between Yahweh's correction of Judah as seen in the Book of Jeremiah and His correction of America. Yahweh was using a tool in an effort to bring Judah to correction before He would be forced to bring an even stronger judgment. Judah denied that they were being judged and they fell into sin even worse. Here in the United States we think that we are still "God's Chosen People," when we have in effect told Yahweh to leave and to take His blessings with him. When blessings are absent there is a vacuum, and that vacuum is replaced by curses. I'm not making that up; it is absolutely Biblical, and proven through Biblical history time and time again. If America thinks that it can circumvent Yahweh's precepts because it is a "Christian Nation," and therefore "under God's grace," then its people are under a strong delusion and given over to all of the things that rebellious nations incur due to that rebellion.
Some would say that revival will come to America and that the country will turn around; and that is a wonderful thought. We tend to believe that America has traveled too far down the path for that to happen. There will be a revival in America and many will be saved; but there will be a severe persecution of Believers of Yeshua, not because of the wrath of Yahweh, but because of the wrath of a nation that has been given over to its wicked desires. Prayer and fasting must be done for this revival to come about, and it will; but don't expect things to return to what they used to be; that will not happen. America has become Babylon, and will be judged with the fury of Yahweh and all things will come to pass that have been written since before the beginning of time. Amen.
PAAPSI NEWS
It's sort of funny how things happen. For many weeks before we started our sabbatical things were quiet in the PAAPSI realm. The phone hadn't rung for a long time and it caused some concern. I checked the contact info a few times to make sure that the phone number was correct and other things too. Then, when we start on our sabbatical the phone started to ring and we got lots of e-mails, both that I had to forward to other people.
We have noticed that two things have brought more people to the PAAPSI site; those things being our chat-room and Jim's interview on Coast to Coast AM. Since then our site visitors have jumped about fifty percent and those seeking help have jumped in number too.
The real exciting thing is that Jim has made a lot of contacts and quite a few of them have expressed a desire to be part of the PAAPSI Team. Just this week we added three new contacts; two in the States and one in Nigeria. PAAPSI now has teams in three continents and we see no signs that this will let up.
With the high expectations that we see becoming reality next year we have revamped the PAAPSI website; especially the contact page. We realized that there are three basic contact people in our realm; the counselor, the assistant and the safe haven. The difference between the first two is that the counselors are either ordained to be a pastor, or that they have gotten their "ordination" through years of work in the realm in a pastoral effort. The "assistant," is a person who has had experience in the paranormal realm and they have found freedom in Yeshua and are therefore qualified to help people based on personal experience. The safe haven people are individuals or organizations (churches) that feel led to take the victims of alien abduction and paranormal harassment unto themselves and nurture and minister to them. There is a fourth group; the people who support us in prayer and/or financial means.
We're excited to see what tomorrow will bring and we know that because of our faithfulness to Yahweh; and that hopefully we have humble and contrite hearts; He will reward us with fruitful ministry in setting the captives free.
PRAYER REQUESTS AND PRAISE REPORTS
Hi Y'all. To put it bluntly, we've been seeing a whole bunch of prayers getting answered; not just our own, but prayers for others whom we've prayed for. Take for instance a brother named Mike. Mike has suffered from diabetes for quite a few years now and he takes his medicine faithfully. The doctor told him that if he lost weight it might happen that he would not need to take diabetes pills anymore. Mike took that advice and lost the weight. But now comes the neat part. He was at church one day and a visiting preacher from Africa was speaking. One of the party's that was with that pastor called Mike out and prayed for him and then told him that Yahweh would cure him of diabetes. Mike said that one day this week he felt weak and took his blood sugar count and it was down in the low 50's, which is hypoglycemia, the opposite of diabetes. Mike started to taper down on the diabetes medication and his blood sugar counts are still getting low. It seems pretty certain that Mike has been healed from diabetes. He's going to quarter his pills, but I do feel that he'll find that he doesn't need the pills anymore. Seems like the doctor was the precursor to the prophetic and healing word that Mike got from our sister from Africa. Praise Yeshua!! Keeping in mind what we just read, let's remember our sister Catherine in Florida who needs healing from a variety of aliments; and of course for her husband who needs to come to faith in Yeshua. Let's pray for their financial condition, which is not very good right now. We trust Yeshua for resolution in all of these matters for sure. We need to keep Jim Wilhemlsen in prayer because February is getting closer and that is when he'll be traveling to Nigeria and Ghana to share our message with the brothers and sisters there. Just in case you're not aware, these are dangerous places to be and all of those places are places of lawlessness, misery and strife. Let's trust Yahweh that He'll see Jim through during that whole time and that miraculous things will occur by Yahweh through His vessel Jim. We thank you for all of your prayers. Lourdes is feeling better. She still has pain, but not as bad as before. We tried drug called Lyrica; and while it works for some people, it was like poison in Lourdes veins. The doctor at ER told us to discontinue it right away and to start her on her old medication. I have my lovely wife back again and it is good to see her able to walk again as well as being awake and coherent. We're trusting in a healing for her and we know it will come soon. We're looking into something called "The Spiritual Causes for AutoImmune Diseases." We feel that there is a lot of validity in this and we're going to pursue it. Please pray for our friend Margo, whose husband lives in Mexico. Recently he has become more open to restoring relationship with Margo (they've been estranged for years) and she's been talking to him about Yeshua, and he's been listening ...hallelujah!! And finally, please keep in prayer this ministry. There are some things coming up that could really help to get the message out to a larger population. We'll be coming out of our sabbatical very soon and we just want Yahweh's will for us and for the ministry which he as entrusted us with.
IN CLOSING:
Again we hope and pray that you have a safe, prosperous and happy Happy Birthday Jesus Celebration and New Year. As we come closer to the end of times, and the persecution that will ensue, we pray that you will find comfort and rest in the arms of Yeshua, and in the anointing of His Ruach. We have been given a very wonderful gift in the Ruach Ha Kodesh. And, as Yeshua so frankly put it, "apart from me, you can do nothing." So, let's stop trying to do things apart from Yeshua. Let's live the words of Randy Stonehill's song that say:
Every heartbeat is a prayer Perhaps it is
the wisdom only weariness can bring
