To the Church of America

I was asked recently, if Paul were alive today, what would he say to the Church of America? I thought this would be a good topic to write about so this is the beginning of what I have come up with. I plan to add to this over a few months. I took on the role as Paul, through myself. Let me know what you think.

Here goes.....

To the body of the church in America,

I am writing to you to be a reminder of the promise made to you by Christ, because sadly many of the church leaders that you follow, have twisted the Word in such a way for their own gain; and they have used the church to make a profit. What is the word for making money with the body? Prostitution! Much of the body of Christ has been forced into prostitution without even knowing it. Aside from that there are many more issues with this church. Many of you have become so complacent with your faith and you no longer have the fire and desire to know YHWH your God. You allow your leaders to convince you that YHWH no longer wants you to follow His word, so you exchange the truth for a lie. The temptation to continue in the ways of the world while also gaining everlasting life has overcome too many of my brethren. You believe the men that tell you that YHWH commanded you for 4000 years to follow His commands and observe His feasts, while Satan fought to get you to ignore these things. But now, Satan wants you to follow YHWH’s commands and observe His feasts, while YHWH only wants you to live a life that you feel is comfortable and easy going. This makes absolutely no sense. Christ Himself tells us that we will have tribulation in this life. We must continue to test all spirits. If our church leaders will not tell us what we need to know, we must take it upon ourselves to ensure our salvation.

You, church of America, have shown a lack of love for your brethren. You have become tolerant of sin and instead of warning your brother about sin, you have condoned it. Stand up for your God, let your brothers know what sin is. If you love them, you must speak up. Do not allow them to live another day in sin. Adultery, murder, homosexuality, lust, anger among others are still very relevant today. With our time being so short before the return of our Savior, YOU must take a stand. No longer can you be ashamed of His name. Embrace it! Yeshua Ha’Machiac IS our savior, He died for our sin. The church of America is continuing to kill our Savior. Every sin is another lash.

Your poor live in the streets with no food or water, no shelter, but instead of lending a helping hand, you allow your leaders to install spikes on the walkways to deter them from sleeping in your streets. You have allowed your leaders to impose laws that punish those that do try to help the less fortunate. How can you claim to be full of the love of YHWH but yet stand by and watch this hate as if it were normal. If this does not grieve your heart, there is no love in you.

In your church houses, women come in dressed as immodest as a prostitute. This should not be. For Christ Himself said that even the lustful thought is likened to adultery. Why are your women choosing to dress so promiscuously in the house of YHWH? Ill tell you why. Everywhere you look in America you see nakedness. It is on billboards and on your television. It is in the music you listen to and in the stores you shop in. It is polluting your minds and the minds of your children. Allowing your children to grow up believing this is the way things should be is only the beginning of the problem. Every generation intends to push the limits further than the one before them. I remember hearing stories of a time when seeing a woman's ankle skin was enough to drive a man wild. Today, a man isnt driven wild for anything less than sexual contact. 

You, church of America, must stand up, and take back your land. You must put an end to the sin that has overtaken your land. Stop letting the enemy rule you. You have the power of Christ in you. He is to be our example. We must walk as He walked. Follow in His ways. He showed love and compassion to all that needed it, especially the sinners. He helped them, and told them to sin no longer. That is an example of what we should be doing. Help the sinner, but let them know what it is they have done wrong. You do not have to be nasty in order to show the transgression of YHWH’s law. Simply point it out. Yeshua followed all the feast days, and He also broke no law of YHWH. This too is an example that we must follow. Will we fail? As long as we are making the attempt and strive to be like Christ, Grace will be there to catch us if we do. The harder we try and the longer we strive, the easier it becomes to live a sinless life. It is like anything, the more you practice the easier it is to do. We must tear ourselves away from the ways of the world. Stop worshipping our God the way other cultures worship their gods. We were commanded this. Let us stand up as a nation and live Godly lives of love and sinlessness. 

I do not know what exactly it is the Church of American must do, but I am beginning to think that it is already too late. I believe to turn around this country, and bring the Church back to YHWH will take no less that an act of YHWH Himself. 

The Sun will be Darkened

Mark 13: 24-27

“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

Revelation 6:12-17 (6^th seal)

I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold,[e] there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon[f] became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders,[g] the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Joel 2: 30-31

“And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

Matthew 24: 29-31

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Joel 3: 14-16

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
¹⁵ The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
¹⁶ The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.

In the days AFTER the tribulation, we see the Day of the Lord is near. It isn’t until this point that the bible tells us in BOTH the old testament and the New that YHWH will be a shelter for His people. Again, After the tribulation we see that His people are to be gathered to Him in the clouds. There is NO mention of anyone being removed from the Earth BEFORE the tribulation. But MULTIPLE mentions after the tribulation.

Why is this an important thing to understand?

If we believe that we will be removed before the tribulation stuff starts getting really bad, but are never taken when we see things that we thought we wouldn’t, don’t you think that would deceive even some of the strongest believers? Isnt it possible that part of the great deception is the pretribulation rapture? Considering all the movies and TV shows that are based on the idea of a pretribulation rapture and the idea that TV and Movies are run by mostly satanic individuals, I suggest that it is part of their plan to deceive us. We must remember that Christ tells us that we are NOT to be Deceived.

Think of it this way, you are a believer in Christ, but find yourself living through the words of the book of Revelation. You thought you would be raptured out of here before having to withstand these horrible things. You are witnessing things Hollywood couldn’t have come up with. Now, after all this, the locust from the bottomless pit show up. Except it isn’t what you thought it would be. They are aliens and they are from outerspace, “they claim”. They are telling the world leaders that they put us here, and that they are the ancient gods we have all read about in mythologies.

Not only are you now questioning the bible’s validity, but you are now contemplating following these alien beings.

That is all it takes because now you are no longer enduring to the end and keeping your faith in Christ. You will now be asked to accept their mark to show you are with them and against all those that believe the bible is still truth. They have proved it isn’t so why are these people still fighting against the ancient creators?

Can you see how easy it will be to be fooled if you continue to believe in a pretribulation rapture? Not everyone will be fooled. Not everyone will accept the mark. But many will.

Could I be wrong and a pretribulation rapture occur? Sure, but that isn’t hurting me. If I continue to keep watch and follow the words of the bible, I believe I would be taken as one of the wise virgins, even pretrib if that is the case. I just see no biblical proof for that argument without having to have preconceived opinions before reading the scriptures.

Bending my will to His

We are told in church and bible study class that we should bend our will to God’s. We are supposed to do the things God wants us to do and not the things we are drawn to do. What does this mean? This is kind of a touchy subject, at least, if you really get down to it. Let’s start with some scripture.

Romans 12: 2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

According to this verse, we are not to be conformed to this world. To conform means to comply with the rules, traditions, standards, and laws.
The rules that conflict with the Word of God are those that need to be avoided or protested against.
The traditions of men, in which I think this verse is specifically pointing out, are to be shunned.
The standards of this world are lower than what we need to hold ourselves accountable for.
The laws of this world, should not scare us, because at some point, and I believe that time has started, the laws will be directly against Christians and we should not follow them if they oppose His Word.
We are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. This is specifically telling us that our thoughts before this transformation are mostly against His Word. That being said, what are the thoughts that we have that go against the Word of God? The bible tells us this too. 

Galatians 5: 19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Before we are transformed into what He wants us to be, men have adulterous thoughts and commit these acts. Men also are full of sexual desires, we see this more often than any other. Simply heading to a bar on any given weekend with thoughts of solely taking home a new man/woman for sexual purposes. Idolatry is a very big one, but many Christians are doing this without even realizing it. Sometimes we do things without knowing or understanding why we are doing them, but does ignorance grant us the free pass to continue in sin? Other times we know the truth, but choose in our own minds that we are doing these acts FOR God and that somehow supersedes the sin in itself. But we should know that that is not the case based on the word in the Bible. 

Exodus 32: 4
And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.
Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!”

The golden calf should be a constant reminder to us that God does not see things the same way you and I do. When He says that He doesn’t want us to do a thing, we cannot call that thing by His name and continue to do it. One of the biggest things that we all seem to fail to do in bending our will to His is celebrate Christmas. This holiday has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Christ, but it does revolve around the celebration of other ancient godlike beings. Christianity has simply changed names and turned it into our own version of a golden calf.
