Praise Reports

I have a friend who has been mentioned before that just
recently concluded a trip of laying down his own life for
others.  He was scheduled to be married and was sure that
this girl was ordained from heaven to be his wife.  He later
told me after a crushing break-up (prior to marriage) that
the pain was so severe he didn't think he would make it 24
hours. In less than 24 hours he was completely and totally
healed because of his intimacy with the Messiah. He told me
that the Spirit showed him that if he had continued on his
path of planned marriage to this woman that it would have
destroyed his calling and his intimacy with the Father since
she was not of the same spirit ultimately.  He was overjoyed
at having been saved from this by the hand of Yahweh.

He called me not long ago to tell me that during his prayer
time he was prompted by the Spirit to call me right away and
tell me that "Yahweh is going to bless you for your
faithfulness."  I received that word as I know his ability
to hear clearly and his intimacy with the Father.  I did not
know how or when but I believed it was from heaven.  It was
a special word to me as I had been struggling for a very
long time with my circumstances.

I cannot tell you the story in its entirety because it is
too long.  What I can tell you is this... in a very short
time (weeks) my situation has gone from living like a pauper
with no place to lay my head to nearly unbelievable
provisions.  I always had my needs met so I knew that the
Father had His hand on my life but I did struggle with the
apparent lack in so many ways.  I have been given control
over not one but two properties.  One overlooks a large lake
area, on 1/2 acre.  A 2 story house and all I am required to
pay for this is $25/month.  The other property is a 12 acre
farm property with a 2400 sq. ft. house.  I have not been
asked to pay anything for this but the owners would like my
help in fixing some things.  There is also finances coming
in on a scale that I have not seen in nearly 10 years.  I am
hoping to use these properties to advance the work of the
ministry and to help those as led by the Spirit who need
help.  I am also hoping the Father will bring more
"laborers" who will help with the plans...  It is an
exciting thing to see developing and just one more of a long
history of seeing the promises of Yahweh fulfilled in His
time.

He never fails to keep His word or do that which He says
will be done...   never.

Loved "THEIR" lives... unto death.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

In the book of Revelation there is a statement regarding
those who are "overcomers."  Of the many possibilities that
could have been used to describe them we find only two.  One
of these two concerns what they did and did not love.

They DID NOT love their own lives even unto death.  This is
a mark of those who will enter the kingdom of heaven.

There are countless who claim to belong to the kingdom and
claim to be heirs of salvation and who claim to be born of
incorruptible seed (1Pe 1:23) but are tares.  How can we
know this?  Because they love THEIR life so much they will
love it unto death.  But they are deceived.  They have not
read or did not believe or have forgotten what the Father
has told us regarding this matter:

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but
whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall
save it. Luk 9:24 (Mat 16:25 Mar 8:35 Luk 17:33)

In that fearful day they will discover that their attempt
to cling to what they wanted and what they worked for and
what they LOVED... was futile.  The Word is very clear about
this matter.  "What profit a man if he GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD
but lose his soul???"  Mar 8:36

The Messiah gave an example of what our life should look
like.  Does your life look like this in truth or does it
look like those mentioned just earlier?

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again. Joh 10:17

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends. Joh 15:13

Hereby perceive we the love of Yah, because he laid down his
life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. 1Jo 3:16

"Their" life includes their desires, their plans, their
stuff.  All the THINGS that are in the world.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is
not in him. 1Jo 2:15

It has been an experience to minister to so many over the
years.  Seeing the pain and the depravity that is so
widespread and causes men and women to abandon their own
children, to betray their vows and even more so to justify
THEIR desires (lusts) and THEIR plans even by twisting the
Word for THEIR own purposes.  So often, sadly, it is not
just the abandoned who are guilty of these things.  Where is
the purpose or the mission of those who claim to belong to
the Master?  How infrequently is there any real focus or
committment to building His kingdom or laying down THEIR
lives for the sake of others.  It is usually about
"me...me...me."

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have
need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how
dwelleth the love of Yahweh in him? 1Jo 3:17

One of the labels of these overcomers in the last days was
regarding their love...

The other concerns "the word of their testimony."  What does
this mean? It is a reference to both the office of prophets
who give testimony regarding coming events and also of those
who are sealed by the Spirit who testify regarding the
truth.  It is also a reference to "the Word" who is eternal
and the One is worthy to "receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created." Re 4:11

I want to focus on the relevance and significance of the
Word of their testimony.  The Master, who holds all things
together. The One Who is soon coming...  not only is He
preeminent (Joh 17:2, Rom 9:5, Eph 1:22, Rev 13:7) but He
is the Truth.

Why is it that so few know the Truth?  Because they don't
know "the Word."  They do not spend time, themselves, in
the Word.  They do not abide in the Word and the Word does
not abide in them.  For years we have made an effort to
impress upon all the importance of the Word.  Study of the
Word, meditation upon the Word, speaking the Word and
washing and transforming the mind through the Word.  We
have just added a video which you can watch on our site
which does an incredible job of showing the EVIDENCE of
how the written Word has been systematically perverted by
those who are on a Satanic agenda.  If you are an individual
who has fallen prey to the lie that any bible will do...
then it may be a matter of the highest order that you visit
our resource section and watch the video...
