The Lord God Almighty is a God of love. Love cannot be in the absence judgment. Judgment and punishment, therefore, are essential composites of love. Wherever love exists, it exists because of judgment. Judgment advances the cause of love, and punishment empowers both love and judgment. Although the human concept of love disavows any connection to punishment, it is because of punishment that one can experience love.
Imagine where our world would be if no one ever judged the actions of another. Imagine what our lives would be like if the human concept of love prevailed. It would mean that life would be a free-for-all with mayhem being the dominant theme. I cannot imagine who would wish to live in a world in which everyone was free to do as they pleased, and no one was ever judged or punished. Punishment is essential when violations of universal law exist. It is the punishment that causes a realignment of principles, and a reordering of precepts. And it is the punishment that removes the stain of sin. The repentance must acknowledge the need for punishment, otherwise it is not genuine repentance. It must seek to right what was wrong, and to fix what was broken. It also must recognize in itself the pain of rejection of universal precepts. Otherwise, it is destined to be a cyclical pattern of repeat offenses. Anytime one views repentance as never-ending, one must acknowledge a misconception of the nature of genuine repentance. One also must acknowledge that the status quo will prevail, because it is impossible for genuine repentance to be anything but volcanic in its transformational character. Repentance is an essential component of kingdom building. Repentance also is an essential component of eternity, because it is on repentance, and on the constant process of realignment that eternity is built. Eternity demands a repentant heart. Eternity also demands constant and never-ending growth. And finally, eternity demands love. El Shaddai The Lord God Of All The Universes

Hallelujah is a term used to denote celebration. When our world is in turmoil, it is difficult to understand why anyone would wish to use the term. But hallelujah is all we can say. It is a word that recognizes the power of God to intervene in even the most extreme cirumstances. It is a word that transcends earthly circumstances. In heaven, there always is room for one more hallelujah. When the church bells begin to toll, we will indeed have reason to sing hallelujah. I say this because that is what we read in another recent Blog, that the tolling of bells will announce the coming of the kingdom of God. God did not say this to me, however, I am willing to accept pieces of the spiritual puzzle from anyone.
We each have a piece of this spiritual puzzle and we each must be willing not only to share our piece of the puzzle, but also to accept pieces from others. Only as we do so will we achieve true oneness with one another, as well as with God. Let us begin to sing hallelujah in expectation of that oneness. The Scriptures promise that if we ask for anything in prayer and we believe that we have received it, it shall be ours. Sing hallelujah. Rebekah An angel of mercy is sent to the earth in a time of dire need. When an angel of mercy visits, it is because the Lord God has determined that the circumstances are so dire that they merit a visit by an angel of mercy. A few weeks ago, an angel of mercy appeared in my office. I had been praying a prayer for mercy for several weeks, having thought that the Lord was doing something to test me.
On that day, I read a Blog post on the website, www.RebekahIsaac.net which reminded me that the God I serve is a God of love and compassion, not a God of hate and ridicule and harsh testing. I could not fathom what would have motivated me to endure all that I had endured, while thinking that I was being tested by God. It was then that I asked him to intervene to end the torture that I was experiencing, if indeed it was not at his instigation. When the angel appeared, he stated clearly, "I am an angel of mercy, and I have come to tell you God does not use directed energy weapons to torment his chosen ones." "Look behind you," he said, "and you will see the _________. It is a directed energy weapon." I could not believe that this gift from a former foreign government official, a gift I had cherished, was causing so much pain and torment. But so it was, and after I removed it, the torment ended. I thank God for his angels of mercy. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Vladimir A long time ago I told a friend that if I ever lived to see the kingdom of God, I know that I would have to be in it. I said to him that if he ever needed someone to help him get in, he should call me. I am now in my sixties and the friend is in his eighties and I would like to think that I am helping him to get in. It is not as though I planned it, circumstances created it. When I thought that all was said and done, the Lord showed me that he still reigns.
A little while longer and he will be with us, teaching us his way, showing us the path to life, demonstrating that he is not being unreasonable when he demands that we be perfect. He is a God who understands the universe better than we do, and he knows that perfection is all it takes for us to survive the devil's onslaught. He knows that if we follow the lead of his Holy Spirit who is in us, we cannot help but be perfect, and we cannot help but see his eternity. I am not an expert in theology, but I bring to it a common sense perspective. I bring to it a perspective that says that if you have a problem that you cannot solve, you should ask for help. If you receive the help you asked for, you should at least attempt to implement it, otherwise don't ask for help. Furthermore, if you implement the suggestion and it seems to lack the power to solve the problem, the solution is for you to return to the original source and demand a new solution, and to keep demanding a new solution until the problem is solved. That is, if you genuinely want to solve the problem. So when I encounter a situation that demands urgent attention, my first instinct is to focus all my energies on it until it is solved. That is not what I see occurring in our churches and in our governments. I see a clinging to the past and to old ways of doing things. I see a return to failed "solutions" in the hope that they might have been transformed by time into genuine sustainable solutions. And I see people whom I thought were strong, intelligent, courageous human beings cowering in fear every time Satan pays them a visit. I know that fear because I used to have it. I felt my body tremble even when there was no fear in my head. In my head, I carried the sword of the Holy Spirit of God, ready and willing to slaughter any demon who dared to oppose the kingdom of God. Yet, my body trembled and my tongue clove to the roof of my mouth. It was as though my body and my mind were two separate entities. It seems that the devil had been reading the Bible's account of double mindedness and sought to make it real. The problem was that the Bible spoke of two "minds" yet my experience was between the mind and the body. The mind controls the body, so if one is single minded and resolved to conquer, it is impossible for the body to be weak and showing the symptoms of fear and trepidation. After two years of this experience, I learned that the devil and his accomplices had been contaminating my meals with all types of experimental substances that artificially induced the symptoms of fear, and caused the muscles and different parts of the body to act as though they had received fear related messages from the brain. The substances were so powerful that they were able to override the messages that my brain was sending to these same muscles. Now that I pay attention to the spirit of my meals, I can easily determine whether or not anything has been contaminated. I no longer have these symptoms of disconnect. In the first century church, the devil sought to create the same symptoms of disconnect among the congregation. He told them that the rapture had already occurred, that they had missed it. In their mind they were full of passion and conviction, but in their bodies they were consumed by fear. The devil used a different methodology, but the effect was the same. The solution that the church implemented was the use of archdeacons. The deacons dealt with physical needs and the archdeacons dealt with spiritual needs. They ensured that anyone who had a disconnect between body and mind was realigned, so that they once again could function as one united entity. We still have archdeacons, but they no longer engage in the practice of spiritual alignment. They are confined by religious practices that are attuned to their respective denominations. Moreover, the concept of spiritual misalignment no longer exists in any mainstream religion. Spiritual practice has been transformed into the practice of rituals. They provide "sustenance" for an hour or a day and must be repeated at frequent intervals. Essentially, they are non-performing assets. When the Lord returns to establish his kingdom, he once again will have archdeacons. They will be men and women who know and understand the need for spiritual alignment. They also will be able to perform spiritual alignments. Those most aligned with the Holy Spirit of God are most likely to be appointed as archdeacons. You can determine your degree of spiritual alignment by looking at your ethereal body. If the only light you see is the light of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your solar plexus, you need alignment. If the light is dim and barely visible, the same is true. A perfectly aligned person has a light that is brilliant white and radiating from every cell in their body. If you seek to enter into the kingdom of God, you must become perfectly and completely aligned in body and spirit. Your spirit must first be perfectly and completely aligned with the Holy Spirit in you, and your body must then be perfectly and completely aligned with your spirit. The process should take about a day and a half of prayer and fasting, if you are able to fast. Don't end this week without becoming fully and completely aligned with God in body and in spirit. It may be your last chance to enter his kingdom. Anonymous 2 I am not like most other teenagers my age. I spent the last two years of my life in a hospital, battling the forces of hell that were trying to destroy my life. I did not like having to be in the hospital, however, the alternative was to permit me to escape to heaven. While in that state of restful sleep, I had the opportunity to examine the life I had led. I knew that I was not being a saint, but I also was not succumbing to the temptation to do the kinds of evil that I saw happening on television. I was a fruitful member of society, or so I thought.
Being in a state of sleep consciousness in which you are asleep but conscious (coma) gives you the opportunity to examine your life and the life of others around you. You witness the carnage of their words, and the indescribable ways in which their emotions can wreak havoc on others. You witness also its effects on them. I saw my soul while I was in this state, and I saw all the ways that I had influenced the lives of others. I saw the angry words' condemning effects, and I saw how words of love uplifted and embued others with power. I know that my life will never be the same. During that time I also had an opportunity to talk with El Elohim, the God of my people. They say that he is not God and that Jesus is the only God. They say this because we call him Allah, a term of endearment, a replacement for El Elohim. We call him Allah because his name is to be revered, not uttered in vain. I saw no sins recorded for having called his name in vain. I also saw no sins recorded for praying too frequently. I did not ask where they had been recorded, because I assumed there were none. I also did not ask why I saw no sins recorded for having visited hell, as I saw many of my friends doing while I was asleep. I could see clearly what the visit had done to their souls. Each soul was marked in such a way that God would think the person had declared war, because the devil can mark the soul every time a person visits him in hell. I know that I would have been curious, and I definitely would have visited hell if asked to do so. Being in the hospital was a blessing from Allah. When Jesus returns, as we expect he will, he knows that we Muslims must be first, because we have been last for centuries, lagging behind Jews and Christians. I hope he chooses me to be with him in his kingdom on earth. God Almighty reigns in Jerusalem, in Saudi Arabia, in New York City and throughout the world. Amen. Angel Saudi Arabia |
