PAW Statement on Same Sex Marriage

Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. Organizational Statement on Same Sex Marriage The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc. goes on record applauding the leadership of President Barack Obama with his many achievements in improving the quality of life for all Americans; however we are in conflict with the President's personal stance on the issue of same sex marriage. As Christian ministers we reaffirm our commitment to God and confidence in the Holy Bible which we deem as His infallible Word. We go on record as believing that marriage is a most sacred union ordained of God between one man and one woman. We shall continue as Jesus did to love and welcome all individuals into our churches. Yet we are called to preach against every variation of sin as described in the bible in hope that all people may be transformed into the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Word of God also encourages us to pray for those in leadership positions and with this mandate we shall continue to lift up our President as he shoulders the awesome responsibility of leading the free world.

The Magnificent Testimony of Jesus Christ in the World Today!

    The Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos had a divine experience with the Glorified Jesus Christ. He gave him instruction for the churches and the wonderful Revelation of Jesus Christ that we find within the Holy Bible. We still see that Revelation unfolding to day as many people are still coming to Him in this day and age.

     The Testimony of Jesus Christ is being proclaimed in parts of the World that the early disciples did not intercept in their time. Yet still two thousand years have passed and the same power that fell in the book of Acts on the day of Pentecost is flowing into the lives of many believers. That Testimony still holds the same magnificent power that it held then today.

     What is your part in the sharing of this testimony? Are you like the Church in Philadelphia and full of brotherly love?  Maybe you are like the Saints in Ephesus and patiently laboring in the midst of 

falsehood yet not giving up. Possibly you are like the Saints in Pergamos where satan's seat dwellest and holding on not denying His name. You could be like the Saints in Smyrna going through trials and poverty while all the while standing firm against blasphemers and getting ready to be thrown in prison. 

     Whichever position you are in today just remember that this powerful magnificent Testimony of Jesus Christ is worth your sacrifice and situation. Let us lift our hands up to the Lord Jesus Christ who knows how to deliver the Godly out of temptation. 

2 Peter 2:9  "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:"

   I pray you are productive today in sharing this Magnificent Testimony.

In Jesus' Name,
Sister Dana Dartez Klein

Cherokee Indians are from Masada, Israel?

In explaining this connection Beverly Baker Northup is quoted as saying:

"The story has been kept alive among our Cherokee people that the Sicarii who escaped from Masada, are some of our ancestors who managed to cross the water to this land, and later became known as Cherokees. (Please note the phonetic resemblance of Si'cari'i and, Cherokee or Tsa'ra-gi'.)"

The quotes below are taken from this website as well as the quote above.
http://israelinsider.net/forum/topics/missouri-cherokee-tribes

"Northup claims that the famous scholar Josephus wrote that there were escapees from Masada in which the spokesperson for the Northern Cherokee states that this is evidence that gives credence to this connection between the Cherokee Indians and the Jews."

"In addition to other startling claims, there is also the belief by the Northern Cherokee that a rock that was uncovered in Tennessee in 1889 that is named the Bat Creek Stone, proves a transatlantic connection to Jews."

"Northup believes that the scratched writings on the rock indicate that the stone is evidence of a first century Atlantic Crossing to America by these escaped Jews that later became known as the Northern Cherokee Indians."

Pulpit Minisitry in the Old Covenant

“And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5  And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6  And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7  Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8  So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9  And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.”   Nehemiah 8:4-9 

Jehovah is a Man of War!

“The LORD (Jehovah-Hebrew) [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.” Exodus 15:3
Jehovah is a man. He is a man of war.

“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord (MarYah –Jehovah-Aramaic) cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Jude 1:14-15

“Behold, the day of the LORD (Jehovah-Hebrew) cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.” Zechariah 14:1-5

“And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” Zechariah 14:12

** NEWS FLASH **

URGENT PLEA - PROTEST AGAINST PENDING EXECUTION OF IRANIAN PASTOR

There is an urgent plea for us to condemn and protest against the pending execution of an Iranian Pastor who is a leader among house churches there. I feel we must do our part. I'm sure you would want others to do the same. Don't be guilty of committing the sin of silence.  I have already made calls to my Senators and also to the Sec of State, and to the Sec of State - Iranian Policy Dept:

You can also call.  To save you time here are some numbers:

African-American Churches and Conference

 Dear Friends,

As Sister Klein and I travel from church to church and conference to conference, we are treated very, very well in African-American churches. Some weeks ago, we spoke at a pastor's conference in Detroit. We were the only whites there. We ministered for maybe an hour. We were very well received!

I pray that some day all churches will be both African-American and white.

I also pray that as others come to white churches they are treated very well!

Mat 5:43 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 19:19   Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:39   And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mar 12:31   And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Rom 13:9   For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Gal 5:14

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Jam 2:8

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

 Who is your neighbor? Everyone who has a need is your neighbor. Who doesn't have a need? Right. Everyone is your neighbor? YOU are to love everyone!

What Jews Should Know About the New Testament

This title and article is found in 'Biblical Archaeology Review', March/April 2012. The article is written by Amy-Jill Levine, a professor at Vanderbilt Divinity School. She is a popular Jewish writer. She makes money as Christians buy her writings.

In this article, she brings out the fact that the first reference to a 'rabbi' is found in the New Testament. She states Jesus was the first recorded 'rabbi'.

198,000 Holocaust Survivors Living in Israel

Hello Friends,

"There are still 198,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel, but every hour another one of them dies. In 20 years’ time, no eye witness to that horrific chapter in human history will be left."

These words are from an article found at:
 http://www.israeltoday.co.il/tabid/178/nid/23190/language/en-US/Default.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Every%20hour%20another%20Holocaust%20survivor%20dies%20|%20Every%20hour%20another%20Holocaust%20survivor%20dies&utm_campaign=daily%20newsletter%20email%20-%2020120416

Sister Klein and I heard a Holocaust survivor speak at the Holocaust museum in Chicago two Fridays ago. Afterwards, I spoke with her and gave her a Bible tract (UPCI). Please pray for Ida. She watched her Mom commit suicide.

In Jesus,

Rabbis Who Believe in Jesus

"No Jew who understands even one line of Gemara would ever believe in Jesus." Amos Wittenberg
http://www.shalom.org.uk/public/index.html
Is it true that only ignorant, unlearned and vulnerable Jews believe in Jesus? These pages feature the stories of devout rabbis who were steeped in Judaism from their earliest days and were hostile to the message of Jesus. When each of them examined the evidence for Jesus they found it compelling and, in spite of rejection and personal hardship, they followed the truth.

Why is the Oral Law not Acceptable?

1. According to Judaism the Oral Law was give by G-d to be repeated from generation to generation orally, so to write it down is sin!

2. The assembly of Israelites was given the Written Law. They were commanded to keep it. There isn’t a Biblical record of the giving of the Oral Law. Why not only orally repeat the Written Law from generation to generation and not write it down?

3. The Mishnah, Talmud, etc. as the written Oral Law never state “G-d commanded”, “G-d said”, etc. The writings found in the Oral Law state “Rabbi ____ said”. G-d is never found to be quoted with His identity as in the Written Law.
