Hello Students,
The shofar is a hollowed out horn which may be short or long having one or many turns/curls. Its color may be black to creamy brown. Today synthetic shofar are available.
We have two shofars, both we purchased while in Israel. One is short and black. The other is long at least three turns; its color is brown.
The shofar was used in the Old Covenant to communicate over distance to the army or congregation.
It was also used in worship to their Holy God, Jehovah.
Making a sound through the shofar maybe difficult. Most including Luke our son blow the shofar by putting the shofar to the front of their mouth pursing the lips and pushing a lot of air through the shofar. That method is very difficult for me. A conservative rabbi taught me to use the side of my mouth.
There are three standard sounds made on the shofar.
The 'Tekiah' is a long, drawn out sound.
The 'Shevarim' is a long, drawn out sound with periodic pauses.
The 'Truah' is making many short, staccato blasts.
Shofars can be purchased on eBay, at Bible book stores, etc.
Enjoy!
In Jesus,
Brother Bruce Klein, Messianic Jew

Godly Music
Purpose of music
Lucifer, the devil
Use of music in the Old Covenant
Use of music in the New Covenant
What is bad music?
Purpose of music
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.” 1 Corinthians 14:26
Lucifer, the devil
“Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” Isaiah 14:11-12
“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” Ezekiel 28:13
Use of music in the Old Covenant
“And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.” Genesis 4:21
“O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” Psalms 95:1-2
“And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.” 1 Samuel 18:6
“And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.” 1 Chronicles 15:16
“And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.” 1 Chronicles 16:42
“It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the LORD;” 1 Chronicles 5:13
“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.” Exodus 15:1-6
“Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:” Numbers 21:17
“[Is] not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?” 1 Samuel 29:5
“Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.” Psalms 106:12
Use of music in the New Covenant
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” Ephesians 5:19
“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” Acts 16:25
“And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.” Matthew 26:30
What is bad music?
Which God/god(s) does the music glorify?
Which of your senses does the music gratify?
What is the testimony of the person(s) performing?
What does the music cause you to think about as you listen?
Would Jesus sing the music?
Would Jesus listen to the music?

Kim Clement & Bob Jones, False Prophets?
Hello Everyone,
False prophets abound in America! Most of these false prophets and prophetesses have capitalized on the gift of the Word of knowledge. The gift of the Word of knowledge does not make one a prophet or prophetess.
Is Kim Clement a prophet or a false prophet?
I was at his meetings in Detroit.
He had contacted the pastor of the Church in the Dome saying that God had told Kim that Kim was to start a revival in the Detroit, Michigan area. The pastor was agreeable, so the meetings started. Local people plus people from other states arrived for this revival!
What happened? Kim Clement collected a lot of money! Did any kind of revival take place? NO! Was Kim Clement stoned as a false prophet? No! This is America, if we stoned every false prophet/prophetess, we wouldn't have any false prophets left! Smile.
Towards the end when Kim realized his prophecies were false, he quit showing-up for his own meetings. We would go to the meetings; the pastor would come out at the start of the meeting to inform thousands of eager unspiritually led people that again Kim Clement was not able to make his own meeting. Eventually, he quit coming. No revival, just a bunch of us confused, stupid, misled and exploited sheep!
Our son Greg at the age of about 13 had been saving his money to buy a Fender guitar. He gave the $65 he had saved to help with the coming revival. In a business situation, if money is given for something that never exists, legally shouldn't the money be given back? Did Kim Clement give back any of the money he collect to help with the coming revival? Right - NO! He is the typically money grubber. Lying is the way of a false prophet.
Kim collected lots of money, begging at every meeting. We were dumb enough to believe him! Did we receive value from the money???? He played the same so called prophetic songs from meeting to meeting. I have personally heard one of the same songs on his TV program. They are supposed to be prophetic songs. So, does that mean he should sing them year after year?
Kim claims to have prophesied 911 during a in Detroit. Did you see or hear the prophecy when it was on the web? It is very generic. It could be the description of ????? many different choices! I can't find it on the web. Why? Probably it wasn't making Kim any money! The prophecy can be bought; right it is not free, of course more money grubbing.
Others question Kim Clement's calling as a prophet:

PS. You may think giving names is not politically correct. You may be right. I want to be Biblically correct.
What did Paul write?
"But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" Galatians 2:14
"Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:" 2 Timothy 4:14
What did John write?
"I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not." 3 John 1:9

Bob Jones
one of the Kansas City false prophets?
Is Bob Jones another false prophet? In a small meeting in Minneapolis, MN of maybe one hundred people, we were there, he said that within two years there would be a great revival meeting in Minneapolis' stadium. The stadium would be filled with thousands of young people seeking God. It never happened, nothing even remotely close happened. Bob Jones doesn't even have the gift of the Word of knowledge
Prophets are for today! False prophets are in the world today!
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:" Ephesians 4:11-12
During the time of Jeremiah, the king and most of the people listened to and believed the false prophets. It led to the fall of God's people.The devil has not changed his tactics!

Your Motives - Your Purposes
Hello Friends,
One must be cautious with our motives for doing something.
Are we building our own kingdom with ourself in the center?
Or, are we helping to build Jesus' kingdom with ourself as a simple servant?
Is one in ministry simply for the money? If so, then your money will perish with you.

Healing Verses
Dear Friends,
I am writing a website dealing with divine healing and walking in divine health.
If you would like to hear me read these verses, click here.
You may wish to listen to God's Word. Faith comes by hearing Jesus' Words!
“And Jehovah shall turn aside every sickness from you; and He will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have known, but He will put them on all who hate you.” Deuteronomy 7:15
“And He said, If you carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and you give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put on you all the diseases which I have put on Egypt; for I am Jehovah your Healer.” Exodus 15:26
“And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from your midst. 26 There shall not be one miscarrying, nor one barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.” Exodus 23:25
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” Psalm 43:5 KJV
“The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10
“I will satisfy him with length of days, and will make Him see My salvation.” Psalm 91:16
“They shall bear fruit in old age; they shall be fat and fresh,” Psalm 92:14
“Of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all within me, bless His holy name. 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; 3 He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; 4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with kindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's. and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them from their straits; 20 He sent His Word and healed them; and delivered them from all their pitfalls.” Psalms 103:1-20
God’s Word must become health to all your flesh!
“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil. 8 Healing shall be to your navel and marrow to your bones.” Proverbs 3:6-8
“My son, pay attention to my words; stretch your ear to what I say; 21 let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the center of your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them, and healing to all his flesh. 18 There is a rash speaking like thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing. 17 A wicked messenger falls into evil, but a faithful ambassador is healing. 24 Pleasant words are an overflowing of honey, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 4:20-24
“Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His wounds (hurts) we ourselves are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5
“Is this like the fast I will choose, a day for a man to afflict his soul? To bow his head down like a bulrush, and he spreads sackcloth and ashes? Will you call to this as a fast and a day of delight to Jehovah? 6 Is this not the fast I have chosen: to open bands of wickedness, to undo thongs of the yoke, and to send out the oppressed ones free; even that you pull off every yoke? 7 Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, that you should bring the wandering poor home? When will you see the naked and cover him, and you will not hide yourself from your flesh? 8 Then your light shall break as the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall gather you. 9 Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If you put the yoke away from among you, the sending out of the finger, and the speaking of iniquity; 10 and if you let out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your gloom shall be as the noonday. 11 And Jehovah shall always guide you, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. 12 And those who come of you shall build the old ruins; you shall rear the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to live in. 13 If you turn your foot away because of the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, to the holiness of Jehovah, glorified; and shall glorify Him, to the holiness of not doing your own ways, from finding your own pleasure or speaking your word; 14 then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah. And I will cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and make you eat with the inheritance of your father Jacob. For the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.” Isaiah 58:5-14
“Heal me, O Jehovah, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved; for You are my praise.” Jeremiah 17:14
“For I will give health back to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Jehovah, because they called you, Outcast; saying, This is Zion; no one is seeking for her.” Jeremiah 30:17
Healing is definitely in the atonement!
“And evening having come on, they brought to Him many having been possessed by demons. And He cast out the spirits by a word, and He healed all those having illness, 17 so that it might be fulfilled that spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took upon Himself our weaknesses, and bore our sicknesses." Isa. 53:4 Matthew 8:16
“Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His wounds we ourselves are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5
In the Bible, everyone who came to Jesus for healing received healing. The crowds were never to big! The seeker was never of too little importance!

Two blind ones sitting beside the way, hearing that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, saying, Have pity (mercy) on us, Lord, Son of David! 31 But the crowd rebuked them, that they be quiet.

And all marveled.” Mark 5:16-20

I am writing a website dealing with divine healing and walking in divine health.
If you would like to hear me read these verses, click here.
You may wish to listen to God's Word. Faith comes by hearing Jesus' Words!
“And Jehovah shall turn aside every sickness from you; and He will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have known, but He will put them on all who hate you.” Deuteronomy 7:15
“And He said, If you carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and you give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put on you all the diseases which I have put on Egypt; for I am Jehovah your Healer.” Exodus 15:26
“And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from your midst. 26 There shall not be one miscarrying, nor one barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.” Exodus 23:25
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” Psalm 43:5 KJV
“The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10
“I will satisfy him with length of days, and will make Him see My salvation.” Psalm 91:16
“They shall bear fruit in old age; they shall be fat and fresh,” Psalm 92:14
“Of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and all within me, bless His holy name. 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; 3 He who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; 4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with kindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfies your desire with good; your youth is renewed like the eagle's. and they cried to Jehovah in their distress; He saved them from their straits; 20 He sent His Word and healed them; and delivered them from all their pitfalls.” Psalms 103:1-20
God’s Word must become health to all your flesh!
“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil. 8 Healing shall be to your navel and marrow to your bones.” Proverbs 3:6-8
“My son, pay attention to my words; stretch your ear to what I say; 21 let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the center of your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them, and healing to all his flesh. 18 There is a rash speaking like thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is healing. 17 A wicked messenger falls into evil, but a faithful ambassador is healing. 24 Pleasant words are an overflowing of honey, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 4:20-24
“Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His wounds (hurts) we ourselves are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5
“Is this like the fast I will choose, a day for a man to afflict his soul? To bow his head down like a bulrush, and he spreads sackcloth and ashes? Will you call to this as a fast and a day of delight to Jehovah? 6 Is this not the fast I have chosen: to open bands of wickedness, to undo thongs of the yoke, and to send out the oppressed ones free; even that you pull off every yoke? 7 Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, that you should bring the wandering poor home? When will you see the naked and cover him, and you will not hide yourself from your flesh? 8 Then your light shall break as the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall gather you. 9 Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If you put the yoke away from among you, the sending out of the finger, and the speaking of iniquity; 10 and if you let out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your gloom shall be as the noonday. 11 And Jehovah shall always guide you, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. 12 And those who come of you shall build the old ruins; you shall rear the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to live in. 13 If you turn your foot away because of the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, to the holiness of Jehovah, glorified; and shall glorify Him, to the holiness of not doing your own ways, from finding your own pleasure or speaking your word; 14 then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah. And I will cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and make you eat with the inheritance of your father Jacob. For the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.” Isaiah 58:5-14

“For I will give health back to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Jehovah, because they called you, Outcast; saying, This is Zion; no one is seeking for her.” Jeremiah 30:17

And He cast out the spirits by a word, and He healed all those having illness, 17 so that it might be fulfilled that spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took upon Himself our weaknesses, and bore our sicknesses."

Bible College - prayer request
Hello Everyone,
A local Apostolic church is attempting to start a Bible college.
My only responsibility is to teach. I don't have any responsibility for administration. I have no say in that area. Which in in some ways is great. I just desire to teach! My commitment to this school is to teach until Jesus leads me some place different.
It will not be advertised as an Apostolic school. I am not real comfortable with this. Why? I am training non-Apostolics the deep things of Jesus. There will probably not be any Apostolics in the classes. The church itself is not known as an Apostolic church. The pastor is Apostolic.
The goal is to have at least 10 students.
My prayer request is Jesus' will to be done. If He wants the Bible college to start, than may the school start.
In Jesus,
Brother Bruce

Why Mass Crusades? - Reinhard Bonnke
Hello Friends,
Many of you are back to school in one of the seminaries. Please, study hard; read your Holy Bible; pray without ceasing!
Why do so many people show up for a mass crusade in third world countries? Why don't we see the same turn out here in the USA, Canada, and Europe?
The answer is:
The USA, Canada, and Europe don't see a need for Jesus.
In most third world countries, if you don't have money for a doctor or hospital, you won't receive treatment! No treatment may mean certain death. They don't want to die. They hear that Jesus heals, so they head for the mass crusade. I have seen pictures of stacks of crutches, wheel chairs, and canes after mass healing during mass crusades.
In the USA, Canada, and Europe a person can go to a doctor or hospital without money but a promise to pay, so they don't go to Jesus. Apostolics know the truth!
This is a video by Reinhard Bonnke. The video shows thousand of people looking toward Jesus! Right, Reinhard Bonnke is not a Christian.

Apostolics as true Christians have a responsibility to reach the lost, sick, demonized people of the world!

An Evangelist and a Teacher - A Team for Ministry
Hello Friends,
A. A. Allen and William Branham both were healing evangelists. One of the reasons they give for being successful in the healing of many people was having the Bible taught in the area of healing before they would minister in the evening.
In other words before William Branham would minister healing in the evening, F. F. Bosworth would have taught for hours during the day to those who wished to be healed.
Normally, A. A. Allen would not minister healing to someone unless they had been through the daytime healing school. They would have a card with their name on it proving they had been to the healing school which they could show an usher before approaching A. A. Allen.
My vision is to team/minister with an evangelist to provide healing to many. We could have one meeting or many meetings in this country or in many countries as Jesus leads. I would be teaching Biblical healing during the day; the evangelist would lead many to divine healing in the evening meeting.
William Branham's sermon: 62-1111E Titled 'Why I'm Against Organized Religion' is fantastic!!!!

Prophecy, Word of Knowledge, etc.
This past Sunday, we had dinner with an Apostolic pastor. Our conversation included different issues such as:
(Please note: I am very much for personal prophesy and words of knowledge. Last week I was given words of knowledge at a meeting. The giver gave a time of 2 weeks. The word of knowledge has already come to pass! Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!)
In this day and age, many who prophesy or give a word of knowledge add a contingency clause. They include an understanding that the one receiving the prophecy or word of knowledge has a responsibility to help bring to past the received words.
For example a Christian is told:
‘God says you are going to stand before kings and dignitaries with the Gospel.’
Thirty years has gone by; the Christian hasn’t been remotely close to a king or a dignitary. When one would ask those who give such ‘words’ why did this not come to pass, one maybe told ‘you did not do enough in your life to prepare to meet kings and dignitaries’. Is their excuse, biblical?
Jeremiah spoke to kings and dignitaries. Did he have to prepare? Did he have a choice? NO! What God said He would do He made sure it came to pass!
“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:4-10
In the Old Covenant, God prophesied Judas Iscariot’s betrayal. Did Judas cast out demons, heal the sick, etc. like the other apostles? Yes. God didn’t make Judas sin. God simply foretold what Judas was going to do. By Judas’ own will he decided to betray Jesus. My point is God knew it was going to take place, so the prophecy is going to take place because it is a future fact.
When a prophecy or a word of knowledge doesn’t come to pass, does that mean God didn’t know the future? No. It means the person giving the prophecy or word of knowledge wasn’t hearing from God.

When a prophecy or a word of knowledge doesn’t come to pass, does that mean God didn’t know the future? No. It means the person giving the prophecy or word of knowledge wasn’t hearing from God.
Some who give prophecy or a word of knowledge give a word that is so generic the word could be applied to anyone. Why? He or she is not hearing from Jesus.
Some Christians think a prophecy or word of knowledge must be nice and soft.
Why can’t a public prophesy expose an individual’s sin(s)? Today in many churches a complete prophecy or word of knowledge is not given because the giver knows he or she would be kicked out of the church for exposing sin!
Was Jeremiah's prophecy against the king of Judah, comforting? No, it exposed sin!
"Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates: 3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. 5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation." Jeremiah 22:1-5
Was Jeremiah's prophecy against Pashur, comforting? No, it exposed sin!
"And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib. 4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword." Jeremiah 20:3-4
Looking at Peter’s sermon in Acts 2 is it about the same topic? No, it covered the knowledge Jesus wanted explained.
Why do some think every point in a meeting must flow together? In a meeting, why couldn’t there be teachings on love by some and about war by others? Why must the meeting have the same meeting topic? My point is it can have many different points as Peter’s sermon did.

Satan's Goal is to Devour Christians
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8
Why is Satan allowed to attempt to attack and devour you as a lion? Devour means to destroy.
Satan as the serpent was given permission to eat mankind as part of the curse. Christians by faith are no longer under the curse!
“And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:” Genesis 3:14
Satan is the serpent.
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9
The dust is figurative for mankind.
“The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15:47
“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19
Christians have sight; non-Christians are blinded by Satan.
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4:4
“For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Matthew 13:15
How should one combat the attacks of Satan as he seeks to devour you? Jesus commanded him to leave and quoted Scripture.
“Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.” Matthew 4:10-11
“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Matthew 16:23
As a Christian use your anointing to combat Satan.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38
One of Jesus’ is deceived. He is devoured by Satan!
“Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.” Luke 22:3-6
How was Judas deceived?
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14
The shepherd who is a hireling acts on behalf of Satan to devour God’s people. One way to determine a hireling is if he/she uses the term ‘reverend’.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

Kabbalah by Bruce Klein a Messianic Jew
Spiritualist churches are to Christianity
As
Kabbalah is to Judaism.
Kabbalah is another one of man’s ways to approach God. Another deceived system to gain knowledge of God. If knowledge and wisdom make one equal to God, than Kabbalah is just one more way. What was Satan’s deception with Adam and Eve?
“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Genesis 3:6
How are Kabbalah and Spiritualist churches the same?
Neither follow the Holy Bible’s warnings about the dead.
“There shall not be found among you any one… that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.” Deuteronomy 18:10-11
Leadership are mediums for demons.
They are after forbidden knowledge.
Their writings are elevated above the Holy Bible.
Like the Mormon Church, Kabbalah promotes connection to the dead.
Like the Mormon Church, Kabbalah has its own sacred writings, which contradict the Holy Bible.
Kabbalah teaches that one needs the help of angels to get to know God. To go from one level to another one must know the angels name and how many times to repeat it in order to get to the next level. The problem is the angels they are entertaining are evil angels (demons)! So the bottom line is they must get through gates they think are good angels. Some wear amulets to protect them from what they think are good angels.
‘Kabbalah’ means ‘receiving’.
Mysticism is Kabbalah. One is receiving from an evil angel (demon).
The Zohar is the most important book in Kabbalah; it is written in Aramaic. The author is unknown.
It is 2,000 or so pages long. It is a novel, so it appears. It is thought to include clues to correct the Holy Bible. It teaches that Adam put God out of the garden. It also teaches man can control God.
The more mystical the thought found in the Zohar the more difficult to decode.
Their key Biblical reference is the vision in Ezekiel 1; the key verse being verse :26.
Meditation
Their goal is to become one with the divine spirit.
They use trances to get to God. Novices can die from powerful spiritual forces.
Only those who are spiritual will understand. Satan’s ploy is to use wisdom and knowledge to deceive those who will be deceived.
10 aspects of God. Map of God’s body. Trying to learn how God’s power works. Goal is to unite male and female aspects of God.
Evil rules the harmony in God.
Flood is really happening now. If you don’t know this, you are drowning.
Meditation and yoga like movements – forming letters, etc.
Finding God’s secret names by using Hebrew letters and meditation.
Moses departed the Red Sea by meditating on the Hebrew letters.
Mantra out of Kabbalah
Meditating on the 72 names of God is a way to gain secret knowledge others don’t have.
Red string around the wrist is to ward off evil spirits. As one meditates he/she is wise to have a red string on the wrist!
In Kabbalah there are many levels of learning. A Kabbalist goes from one level to the next based on wisdom and knowledge and ability to meditate. Keeping the Jewish law is a given.
Search for new techniques.
So Kabbalah has new and ancient knowledge.
More Facts
Safed in Israel is a noted city for the study of Kabbalah. Kabbalists feel they must help bring the Messiah, so they must be holy.
Which groups in Judaism follow the teachings of the Kabbalah?
Chassidics are the renowned teachers and followers. Kabbalah teachings are read and studied by most in Judaism. I have been kicked out an orthodox synagogue because it was time to study Kabbalah. From their point of view as a follower of Jesus, I was not holy, so couldn’t study the Kabbalah. They were very polite. They are very nice people!
Some in Judaism challenge Kabbalah because of its direction towards dualism. Those who are monotheistic believe God is all powerful verses Kabbalism’s good verses evil. Which will win? Good or evil?
Kabbalah teaches reincarnation!
One is reincarnated from Cain or Abel or the Sons of Noah.
So Kabbalists find graves of their previous incarnations to hear their voice. How do they know who they were before their present life? Another Kabbalist with a higher connection(s) with an angel(s) tells them.
God had a need for love, so He/She created man. God with drew. The void was given divine light.
Death maybe punishment for revealing the secrets of Kabbalah.
The printing press spread the message of Kabbalah.
Christian Kabbalah came into practice during the 17th century.
Summary
Those in Kabbalah most likely will be offended by this article. Sorry, I do not want to offend you. I am trying to warn you. You will be judged by the New Covenant whether you believe it or not. Jesus is a God of love. Most of so-called Christianity has followed the ways of the false Christian church with their teachings on killing humans. Jesus taught real Christians to turn the other check? He didn't teach kill those in your way. He didn't say kill Jews in the Holocaust or during the crusades, etc. The devil has been busy trying to kill Jews, not Jesus!
Jews who have honestly searched out Jesus' identity have become His followers. Have you read the New Covenant? Why not? You would really be surprised by what it really says! It will speak to you! Jesus will speak to you!
The Holy Bible contains only truth! The Holy Bible is the truth!
It should not be corrected by the Zohar or the Book of Mormon.

The devil is busy making sure as many people as possible will be in hell.
Please, don’t you be deceived. Please read your Holy Bible, at least daily.

Mark 16:16-18 - Basic Greek Study
Mark 16:16-18
“Whoever trusts and is immersed will be saved; whoever does not trust will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who do trust: in my name they will drive out demons, speak with new tongues, 18 not be injured if they handle snakes or drink poison, and heal the sick by laying hands on them." Mark 16:16-17 The Complete Jewish Bible by Dr. David Stern, the last I heard he was not Charismatic. He learned Greek at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Dr. Stern gives the proper translation from Greek to English.
King James Version“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:16-18
Believing and baptism is required for salvation. Many try to pervert this phrase. What does it say???? John 3:5
These signs will follow them that believe:
They will cast out devils.
They will speak with new tongues.
If they take up serpents/snakes, they will not be injured.
If they drink poison, they will not be injured.
They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
In another post I dealt with not laying hands on just anyone.
Friend, in Greek or English just read the Words and believe. Paul picked-up a snake which bit him. Was he injured? Why not? Could it have been a miracle? I know you believe it was a miracle. Miracles still happen today. Maybe you need to find the right church?

“Whoever trusts and is immersed will be saved; whoever does not trust will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who do trust: in my name they will drive out demons, speak with new tongues, 18 not be injured if they handle snakes or drink poison, and heal the sick by laying hands on them." Mark 16:16-17 The Complete Jewish Bible by Dr. David Stern, the last I heard he was not Charismatic. He learned Greek at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Dr. Stern gives the proper translation from Greek to English.
King James Version“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:16-18
Believing and baptism is required for salvation. Many try to pervert this phrase. What does it say???? John 3:5
These signs will follow them that believe:
They will cast out devils.
They will speak with new tongues.
If they take up serpents/snakes, they will not be injured.
If they drink poison, they will not be injured.
They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

'Jesus Died Spiritually' Heresy taught by Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyer, etc.
Hello Everyone,
Jesus did not die spiritually, and he did not go to hell to be beat-up by the devil! Paul warned that others would come teaching a different Jesus. Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyer, plus a lot more teach a different Jesus.
Dr. Hobart E. Freeman has written an excellent expose' of these cult leaders' heresy.
David Alsobrook also wrote a book exposing their heresy. His book is titled
Biblical Truth
What happened to Jesus at His Death on the Cross?
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” Luke 23:46
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30
What happened to Jesus after the cross?
Jesus went to Paradise where He saw the repentant thief who had been on a cross. While in Paradise, Jesus preached to those in the place of torment. Jesus was not in torment. He was not beat-up by the devil as those who teach that Jesus died spiritually: Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Jerry Sevelle, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyer, etc. The Bible warns of those who will teach a different Jesus.
“By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” 1 Peter 3:19
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
“Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” Acts 2:27
“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” Acts 2:31
“Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.” Acts 13:35-37
Biblical teaching on paradise/Abraham's bosom.
"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:19-31
These heretics know about Dr. Freeman's book! His teachings are mentioned at Hagin's school. Kenneth Hagin at one time told the pastors of his denomination to lay low about the teaching of Jesus' punishment in hell.

Christians Don't Need to Die!
If you are a Christian,
Could you die by an automobile accident?
Could you die of a stroke?
At the rapture must a Christian die first before going on to be with Jesus? Of course not! Than why can't Christians have their own personal rapture like Enoch and Elijah? Well the above verses prove you can avoid death. You shall not taste death. One must simply believe.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death." John 8:51
Misc. Verses
“But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:36 Ones hatred of God means you are going to die!
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;" Hebrews 2:14
"And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." Hebrews 2:15
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:24-26
Martyrdom
Does Jesus give a peace or desire to those to be martyred?
‘‘And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.’’ Acts 22:20
"And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep." Acts 7:59-60
‘‘I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.’’ Revelations 2:13
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7
If you are a Christian, you do not need to see death unless it is Jesus' will for you to be martyred.

Personal Rapture-translation
Jesus died to further God's kingdom. Peter died furthering God's kingdom (John 21:18-19). If Paul died, his death was to further God's kingdom. I will not die a martyr’s dead unless Jesus gives me that desire. Satan will not determine my death!
D. The Rapture
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-57
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Jesus died to further God's kingdom. Peter died furthering God's kingdom (John 21:18-19). If Paul died, his death was to further God's kingdom. I will not die a martyr’s dead unless Jesus gives me that desire. Satan will not determine my death!

Christians Have the Promise of a Long Life!
To live a long life - your Father in heaven would not want you to suffer to the end - He has provided a means of health - found in His Son's atonement. This Biblical study is especially for those who expect to die.
How to have a long life? You must find (a) promise(s) to believe!
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” John14:13
“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15
1. We decide when our life is over
“With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91:16
2. Body broken for our healing Blood shed for our forgiveness (cleansing)
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
3. We are to live for at least 70 years
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” Psalm 90:10
Psalm 90:10 "The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away.” JG

“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-31
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.” Psalms 118:17
Your life could be 120 years.
“And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3
Moses writes 70-80 years.
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” Psalms 90:10
“The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away” Psalms 9:10 JG

The Promised Preservation of God's Words
“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:8
"The Words of the LORD [are] pure Words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. (7) Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." Psalm 12:6-7
"He hath remembered His covenant for ever, the Word [which] He commanded to a thousand generations." Psalms 105:8
"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever." Isaiah 40:8
God is not concerned with original Scripture. Moses destroyed tablets written by God. God simply replaced them. God commanded Jeremiah to toss original Scripture in a river (Jeremiah 51:63).
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." 1 Peter 1:23
"But the Word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by gospel is preached unto you." 1 Peter 1:25
The Word of God equals Scripture"...unto whom the Word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken;" John 10:35
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." 1 Corinthians 2:13
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away." Matthew 24:35
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away." Mark 13:31
"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away." Luke 21:33
Do you believe that God can keep His "Word"?
"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; ..." Colossians 3:16
“But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:25
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:8
God’s Word is preserved in the Hebrew Messoretic Old Covenant and the Greek Orthodox New Covenant.

How to Cast Out Demons - Bob Larson - Video
Greetings to Everyone,
There is a right way and a wrong to cast out demons!
Bob Larson teaches the right way.
We have over 20 of his videos in our personal library, plus some of his books. Many people think they are casting out a demon(s), but in reality they are either being deceived by the demon(s) or at the least doing more damage than good.

Mormon Exposing Videos
Hello Everyone,
I have been asked for information about the Mormons. My Mormon missionaries state that the Mormon Church has over 50,000 missionaries in the world. No wonder you are asking me about them!
The somewhat completed study on Mormons can be found at:

Jehovah's Witnesses Witnessing Info - Video
Hello Everyone,
Some of you are asking about how to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses. My study on JWs is somewhat finished. It is posted on the new website which I haven't listed.
From my understanding it is very important to reach people before they get involved with the cults. It is important to teach them who Jesus is. After a person is in a cult, it is somewhat difficult to get them to know the real Jesus. Paul warns of those teaching a different Jesus.
This is a 59 minute video about Jehovah's Witnesses:

Apostolic Theological Seminary
This fall the seminary will have over 1,000 students maybe 2,000 students, Praise Jesus!!!!! Most of the seminary's students don't speak English, so they can't read the Bible studies on our websites. Thank you Jesus the teachers know English and can use the Biblical study manuals-texts!
Next week Sister Phyllis Corbin will start teaching a first year Greek class by internet in India. There will be about 60 students. Sister Phyllis is out of Canada. Last semester she taught various doctrinal courses in the seminary's Paltalk room. If you would like to be apart of her teaching ministry, and would like more information.
Sister Phyllis is presently ministering at Abundant Life Center, Norwich, CT. Rendal Rutledge is the Pastor. She believes the Holy Spirit will keep her there until this fall, then returning her to her home in Canada. She continues to minister by Internet.
In a couple of weeks, I will teach a second year Greek class on the internet.
The seminary is designed to use Biblical manual-texts which I have written. They are very detailed outlines of a given subject.

Your Life- Video 'Dash'
Are you doing Jesus's will with your life?
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" Matthew 7:21-24
One must be Spirit led! One must presently have a sinless life!
The purpose of this video is to help you think about what you are doing with the life Jesus has given you.
