When The Lord Leads, Just Follow Him in FAITH

🙄Well, you can only put off the inevitable for so long…🫤

Lord knows I’ve been up to my ears these last seven years with my undergrad and grad studies, reading more than a 📚📚few dozen books, journal articles, etc. along the way, researching and writing 📄several papers 📃to boot.

My 😑mind, even during the breaks in between classes, could not seem to relax 😓long enough, and before I knew it, another semester would begin, and the stress to finish each class with a decent grade would start all over again.

During what I initially thought would only be a five month break before school began again in August, I asked the Lord to help me decide whether or not I should continue in my PhD program. I had recently found out through Liberty Academic Advising that EACH of the last three courses (Stage 3) of the program were one whole semester long, AND— there was a very good chance that between the second and third classes, the student would have to REPEAT that entire semester because those are the semesters where they are working on the chapters of their dissertation. They wouldn’t be able to move forward until their mentor said that they were ready. Talk about added stress!!🙄🤦‍♀️ I shuddered at the thought of just how much longer this would take me to complete the whole program. I would be in my mid 60s by the time the program would be completed…

I was 😣already hanging on by a thread mentally and emotionally this last year and a half, especially since having to move back to New Jersey and helping out my family member, giving up my apartment in the area I loved, and my job in the process. But, this is where the Lord assigned me to be. I had to be the obedient servant and soldier, and go where the Captain of the Host sent me.

But, nevertheless, I left the decision up to the Lord God. I surrendered everything to the Lord at the beginning of this FAITH journey in 2016, and since HE was the one who insisted on me returning to college back in September 2018, I felt He should be the One to say when it all should end.

Well, finding out this past month that I reached the maximum amount of my Financial Aid, and suddenly having no way to pay for the rest of my PhD program OR the majority of my bills, sent my stress level rising to new heights (my blood 🩺pressure 🩸numbers were not good, and I never even had blood pressure issues!!). I was not in a good place.😣😞💔

But, the Lord DID answer my question, didn’t He? In His 🙄usual and sudden, abrupt way of doing things,😏the Lord placed me back on this continual journey of mine—walking in the DARK, not knowing how my FINANCIAL situation was going to improve. But that is where the 🙏FAITH part once again, comes in.

I loved going to school; I loved learning, especially about the Bible and the ancient languages on an academic level, in order to take all that I’ve learned and put that knowledge towards my book writing, and also the deliverance ministry counseling that I just began. I continue to pray that people will one day begin to reach out to me with whatever issues they are having, to find out if there is a spiritual “root” to their problems (there usually is!). My desire is to get the person the help they need, whether it’s through my specific skill set or helping them find a biblical counselor, deliverance minister, or even an exorcist, that can further aid them on their healing journey of particular darker spiritual issues.

There’s so much that I’ve learned about the spiritual realm and how the dark forces keep people in bondage in so many ways, but the good part is that there are biblical solutions to those issues, and I pray that I can be part of someone being delivered, set free and healed in the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ through this deliverance ministry. WITDWF Deliverance Ministry is a NON-licensed, Biblically -based, Holy Spirit-led counseling service. I cannot “charge” people for my services; I can only accept financial donations.
Please see the attached pics of my brochure to learn more about it.

But in the meantime — although I am honestly a bit reluctant to do this— I will be working on the third and final installment of my book series, “Walking In the Dark With FAITH”, and a couple other devotional book projects as well. The one thing that the 👿enemy keeps beating 😖down on me to this day, is that I’m a self-published author that nobody cares about, and that no one is interested in reading what I’ve written or shared about my life, etc. Those evil 😈spirits are relentless in their attacks!

BUT— then I am reminded by the Holy🕊️ Spirit that it was the ✡️Lord ✝️Himself Who placed me on this path to writing, first with the blog page back in March 2017, and then some months later telling me He wanted me to do this book series on my life. So it IS and always has been, part of His plan and purpose for my life. Besides, how many prophets in the Bible were well off financially, and didn’t have a care in the world about what the Lord was going to assign them to do next??🙄 Exactly. 😏

Like the Lord recently reminded me in the midst of my current financial situation—the book writing was never supposed to be a huge 💲💲💲money maker( though it would be a blessing to my financial situation if people bought my books to just support me in my journey!🙄🙏). YET He knew that if I did this through faith and obedience and all the hard work that comes along with it, the few that do read my books will come to realize that it truly was a Holy Spirit-inspired faith journey that was helping to make me into the spiritually mature servant of God, that the Lord destined for me to be all along. And, HE Himself would send more people my way to discover the book series and the help I would like to provide to them in my deliverance ministry. ☺️❤️In the meantime, as it is written, HE would (as He has always been!) be Jehovah Jireh—my Provider. 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️

So, in the midst of having to read approximately another 16 or so books that are sitting on my desk right now, to assist me in both my writing and deliverance ministry endeavors, I will pick up where I left off a few years ago, and complete the third 📗book in my series.

I am already jotting down notes for what would have been my 📓dissertation book about the Most High God, the Triune Godhead, the Divine Council Worldview, and how humanity was divinely made in the image of God; how we were always meant to be eternally part of His heavenly kingdom and council, through the sacrifice and shed blood on the Cross by our Lord Jesus Christ. It’ll be a while before this one is finished, but I have a feeling that the books I’ve worked on already and all the schooling I had, were just “putting my feet in the water” and preparing me as they say, to work on this massive 📝writing project. 

Finally, I’m leaning towards having a Facebook page primarily for my book writing, spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Other authors, writers, and people who are truly interested in learning more about the topics I speak and write on, especially when it comes to spiritual warfare, deliverance, and my faith journey, can find me on that page as well as visit my WITDWF (“Walking in the Dark With FAITH”) blog page which is listed in my bio.

Thank 🥰you all for taking out the time to read all of this; and for those of you who have supported me in the past, especially when purchasing my books, I pray that you will continue to do so in the future, as well as be a regular visitor and subscriber to my blog page. I seriously do need all the support I can get. 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️

Trust That the LORD Will Deliver Us From Our Enemies!

From Today’s Liturgy of the Hours-“Lauds” (Morning)—Ps. 143:9 reminds us how the LORD God is WHO can and WILL be our Deliverer of our enemies, IF we put our trust in Him.

For those who believe, He IS our Refuge and Who saves us from our enemies.

Even though we may go through terrible tribulations here while living out our daily lives, the LORD God One Day through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, will make His enemies—both human and spiritual—His “footstool” (Ps. 110:1).

He will triumph over all evil (Col. 2:15) at the End of Days (Rev. 17:14).

We may not see it happen as quickly as we would like, BUT the LORD WILL AVENGE (Deut. 32:35; Rom. 12:19) at the appointed Time.

So do not be discouraged, beloved; the LORD God Most High sees and hears and knows ALL that is going on. He does not shut His eyes for one SECOND.

Isaiah 1:24 states, “Therefore the LORD declares, the LORD of Hosts (Adonai Tseva’ot), the Mighty One of ISRAEL: “Ah, I will get relief from My enemies and AVENGE Myself on My foes.”

For now, until That Day comes, let us pray and act out in faith, hope, and trust in what vv. 10-12 says-
“Teach me to do Your will, for YOU are my God! Let Your good SPIRIT lead me (Jn. 16:13; 14:26; 15:26) on level ground! For Your Name’s sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble! And in Your steadfast love You will CUT OFF my enemies, and You will DESTROY all the adversaries of my soul, for I am Your servant.”

Are You Willing to Finally Trust in God‘s Word in Order for Him to Set You Free? 

I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to be used by the Lord God to attempt to help those suffering with spiritual bondages and demonic strongholds to BREAK FREE through the power of God’s Word, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I have written about and shared many of my spiritual experiences in my life, the good, the bad, and the ugly ones! The Lord allowed certain spiritual experiences to happen to me so it would ready me for the calling He had on my life. Once I finally accepted that calling, He continued to prepare me even more with the knowledge, understanding, even more personal experiences, so that one day I would finally be as ready as I could be to help those who suffer with spiritual issues and demonic bondages.

BUT— the biggest obstacle that stands in the way from a human being having that supernatural breakthrough and those chains off of them mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and physically—is finally ACCEPTING the REALITY of the SPIRITUAL REALM in this world, and realizing that MOST of the continual issues and struggles that we humans go through, are of a SPIRITUAL NATURE.

Why spiritual? Because we are CREATED beings, that are primarily SPIRIT—that have a SOUL (mind, will, intellect), and are covered with a fleshly BODY.

The LAST THING that the devil, his angels, and the demonic unclean spirits that roam about this world, “SEEKING WHOM THEY MAY DEVOUR” want us humans to realize and accept, is that THEY ARE REAL REAL, and THEY are the ROOT of most of our problems in this world!

If we decided to take the Word of God seriously, and even believe and accept all that is said about the spiritual realm in the Scriptures— even the very things that the Lord Jesus himself spoke of— we would then have a greater understanding and opportunity to COMBAT these spiritual evil forces within our own individual lives, as well as what is going on in this world, and finally we would be able to DEFEAT THEM WITH THE POWER AND AUTHORITY THAT WAS GIVEN TO US IN GOD’S WORD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!

No matter what that spiritual stronghold is, we would be able to defeat it, and be overcomers in the name of Jesus! Little by little, us humans could finally take back our lives and live victoriously and confidently in this world, having God’s 📖Word leading and guiding us, and protecting us from those evil ones!!

But the sad truth is — most people, even Christians, refuse to acknowledge what the Bible says about the spiritual realm, and basically call the Lord God a LIAR by NOT TAKING HIM AT HIS📖WORD.

What about you? Are you finally willing to accept God’s 📖 Truth, and take back your life and be SET FREE from those spiritual bondages? 🙏✝️

LISTEN to the Voice and Teachings of the Holy Spirit!

I did not expect this post to be this long when I initially was sharing this video, but when the Holy Spirit has something to say–I don’t hinder Him from “speaking” through me via these posts, so here you go…

https://youtube.com/shorts/0mezsV0-kxg?si=-LIylbFwi8SatRJV

As the late great Dr. Michael Heiser stated, the early Church fathers knew the truth and TAUGHT it, yet somehow down through the centuries the traditions took over = the church leaders got sloppy with no longer properly exegeting biblical texts, in order to interpret them correctly according to CONTEXT.

FOR EXAMPLE, what is being spoken about in this very short video–
The erroneous notion of fallen angels being the demons is widely known, taught, and accepted within many Christian sects of the Body of Christ.

BUT–it is WRONG. Just because they taught it to you, doesn’t mean you blindly accept it. YES–the church leaders (whatever title they fall under–rabbi, priest, pastor, bishop, etc.) ARE and WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT properly teaching the Word 📖of God–the WHOLE✡️📖✝️WORD of God–from GENESIS through REVELATION!!

BUT we who PROFESS to be Christians, are ALSO held equally responsible for reading and studying God’s Word on our OWN! Some church leasers down through the millennia, have discouraged reading the Bible because of how one may wrongly interpret the passages; other leaders used it to control their congregations (let’s be honest!), and only taught them what they wanted them to know!

📖If one looks at such verses as Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 15:26, 16:13, and pretty much all of the book of ACTS, one will see just how much the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT was saying, teaching, and doing WITHIN the BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS of the Church after Christ’s resurrection and ascension into Heaven. It was and IS, HE that continues to teach and guide the person who confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Rom. 3:10,23; 10:9-10, 13), became a child of God (Jn. 1:12) and who received the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 33,38) in order to become BORN AGAIN (Jn. 3:3,5,7) SPIRIT-FILLED believers of God.

OH–and as far as “interpretations” and “versions” of the Bible that many people use as excuses to either NOT read or study, or say it all lends to confusion and division of the Body of Christ–you’re partially correct–the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41), along with those demonic entities that “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8) know that if you do NOT resist him in your FAITH (1 Peter 5:9), wearing the armor of God daily (Eph. 6:10-18), and USE the authority given to you the believer by the Lord Jesus Christ to tread on those demonic serpents (like the one in Genesis 3!) and scorpions (see Luke 10:19), you WILL be deceived into thinking that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture, and will end up NOT taking God’s 📖Word as TRUTH (Jn. 17:17; see also Ps. 119:9-11, 105). REMEMBER–God’s Word is “firmly fixed in the heavens” (Ps. 119:89).

SO– humbly learn His Word via HIS HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT (even if there was no one to teach you, as I had no one in my family or anyone good enough in my parishes as a child–so 1 John 2:27 came into play for me, until I sat under good biblical teaching many years later), learning to “rightly divide the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), because as the Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is breathed out (pneuma/ruach) by God and profitable for teaching, for REPROOF, for correction, and for TRAINING in RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the man/woman of God may be COMPLETE (perfect), equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

BECAUSE–IF one is NOT fully surrendered and wholeheartedly following the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Savior AND Lord of their lives, living that faith life out, and filled with the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT–it is guaranteed and confirmed via SCRIPTURE that OTHER evil spirits (which are 👿DEMONS who NEED a human BODY in order to carry out their evil works!) ARE or WILL be in a human being–whether that person is a baby, child, teenager, or adult. To the demons, IT DOESN’T MATTER who they are in–as long as they can “steal, kill, and DESTROY” (Jn. 10:10) human beings in order to spite the LORD GOD and what He allowed His Son to do for us on the Cross–which IS the ONLY WAY back to the Father (Jn. 14:6).

Don’t believe me? LOOK 📖up what the LORD JESUS said when referring to evil spirits needing a “home” (= host human body) in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke 11:24-26. The FACT that both MATTHEW and LUKE recorded it in their Gospels should make you realize how serious this is. It’s also interesting how the Lord Jesus says at the end of that passage, “SO ALSO WILL IT BE WITH THIS EVIL GENERATION” (Matt. 12:45). OH how true that is TODAY!! But much is covered up by calling such demonic infestations, vexations, oppression, obsessions, and possessions, “mental or behavioural health” issues…🙄😣🙁 Thank God for the few good exorcists and deliverance workers that are out there, recognizing the demonic workings in people, and are hard at work setting these people free from their 👿strongholds!🙏❤️✝️

📖IF one looks closely at Genesis 6:1-4, and with proper reading of the ancient languages (Hebrew, in this case, and Greek in the Septuagint), studying each word and putting the pieces of the Scriptural 📖🧩puzzle together along with other passages that speak of the rebellious angels and their OFFSPRING, the Nephilim, and also the Rephaim (just to name a few: Num 13:32-33; Deut. 1:4; Genesis 11 paired with Deut. 32:8 and Daniel 10; 2Peter 2:4 along with Jude 1:6 and 1 Corinthians 10:20-22), AND coupled with reading the ENTIRE Bible–WITH the help and guidance of the Holy🕊️Spirit, a diligent Bible student can and WILL start to see a very SPIRITUAL picture form within what initially can seem and feel like, a very shocking and unnerving discovery of what REALLY is, and always has been, in God’s Word that has NOT been taught by most modern Judeo-Christian synagogue/church leaders.

Some churches ignore the majority of the Old Testament, and only preach what is in the New Testament. By doing that, the lay church member has NO CLUE on the HISTORY of ISRAEL, for example, and how the LORD God commanded Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to lead their people to the Promised Land that GOD HIMSELF gave them! That’s like telling God that half of what He had His people share with us down through the ages was JUNK!😱🫢

Many church leaders think that books like 1 and 2 Maccabees and 1 Enoch have no spiritual weight to them, and discourage their congregations from reading or studying such books.
But if one were to go ahead and read those books, they would find a plethora of information on not only Israel’s history and leadership, especially dealing with the 400 years of “silence” between Malachi and Matthew, but also when it comes to the book of 1Enoch (NOTICE how I am mentioning 1 ENOCH–NOT 2nd or3rd), one would find passages in there VERBATIM to what was in Genesis 6!

And YET–the ignorance and shunning of such books continues throughout today’s modern, Western-thinking church services. Traditions of some churches have as the Lord Jesus put it, “You leave the commandments of God and hold to the TRADITIONS of men” (Mark 7:8). Elsewhere, answering the Pharisees again, Jesus stated, “…thus making VOID the Word📖of God by your tradition that YOU HANDED DOWN…”(Mk. 7:13).

Not all tradition is bad; some of it is very good. Paul tells us in such passages as 2 Thessalonians 3:6 to “keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE TRADITION that you received from us.” What tradition is Paul talking about? The testimony he gave in 1 Corinthians 15, for example, how “Christ died for our sins IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES…” (1 Cor. 15:3).

KEEP asking the Holy 🕊️Spirit to OPEN your spiritual EYES, EARS, HEART and MIND, to learn and UNDERSTAND “what the Spirit is saying” (Rev. 2:7), by having “ears to hear” (Matthew 11:15) HIS VOICE over what man may be teaching or preaching in error. ASK for DISCERNMENT so that you can know the TRUTH, and avoid following the ERRORS that have been handed down to us.

THAT way, the Scriptures that seem like a daunting, billion-piece🧩🧩🧩 puzzle😖may then start to be put together piece by piece for you, with the help of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you (Jn. 16:13) as you read and study God’s 📖Word–ALL of God’s Word.

THEN–one day, the Scriptures that seemed to be an enormous 🧩puzzle, no longer will be so confusing and intimidating to you, as you begin to RECOGNIZE the PICTURE😉that God painted on the tapestry of His Biblical LOVE Story that He longed to share with us. BUT–you MUST read ALL of it–OT and NT; you must learn to seek out WHICH apocryphal (like 1 and 2 Maccabees) and pseudepigraphal books (like 1Enoch) to read IN ADDITION to (and NOT substituting for) the entire Word ✡️📖✝️of God.

NOW go get your 📖Bible, pray up and ask the Holy 🕊️Spirit to lead and guide you in what you are about to read, and PUT more pieces of that🧩PUZZLE together! 😊🧩✡️📖✝️🕊️

Let Go of That Viral Demonic Hatred, or Else…!

For all of you who hate certain human beings for no reason whatsoever, just because they are who they are—

If you think for one second that the Lord Jesus is going to forgive you of your sins on the Day of Judgment, THINK AGAIN.

I am sending out a loving warning via the Holy 🕊️Spirit once again, because there are billions of human beings that hold onto bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, resentment, and hatred so much, it is eating them up and destroying their souls.

If you do NOT hand all of this viral demonic poison over to the Lord God and ask Him to change your stone cold, hardened hearts NOW, tomorrow may be too late.

Though we can see, hear, and know a person’s “fruit”, LET GOD ALONE be the ultimate JUDGE of them.

PRAY to the Most High for forgiveness and deliverance of all that demonic poison you carry around in you, and allow HIM TODAY to teach you how to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, in spite of all our faults and failures, while you still have breath in you. 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️

Blogging the Rest of My Walk in the Dark with FAITH Story…

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I wanted to get past what I thought was a failed attempt at writing a book series about my faith walk; I did it mainly because the Lord put that challenge in my lap and said to run with it. Initially, I thought it was my ticket to not only exercising my gifts and talents the Lord gave me to write and share my faith with others, but also to help me out financially. Boy was I wrong.

It’s more than obvious now after almost four years since I released my first book in the WITDWF series, that this was never supposed to help me out financially. In fact, I didn’t break $100 in royalties until last year. Even though I wrote a second book in the series, plus also two devotionals (one that was illustrated and cost a lot to make), nevertheless, nothing came out of it.

I was led to continue in my biblical studies this whole time in grad school/seminary (Liberty University School of Divinity), after graduating from Stockton in December, 2021 with a BA in Latin and the Romance Languages (French, Spanish), and with Minors in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Jewish Studies. But I do not want to get too ahead of the story here. What I have decided to do, is not write the third book of the series to publish it in book form, but to just share it here on my blog page. I also will do this with the other writing project that has been spinning around in my head for some time, dealing with God and His Word, the Most High God, His Son, the role of the Holy Spirit, and where the Body of Christ was to fit in all of what He planned to do, until the Time of the End and the commencement of the coming Judgment.

If anyone has written a book, or a long enough paper in college (the longest one I’ve done so far was about 30+ pages; most have been 15-25+pages), and if you have done it several times over for each class, you know after a while how time consuming and tiring it can be to complete the task. Of course, when the assignment is accomplished and all your hard work pays off with a good enough grade you can be satisfied with, it not only gives you peace, but also it honors God in finishing the task He called you to accomplish in the first place.

I do not pretend to be the world’s best writer/blogger/author; I’m far from it. But–I do want to continue to be obedient to the call that was put on my heart to do for the LORD God. So, even though I am not completing my work in book form, at least I am willing to share it on my blog page, and on social media, for others to hopefully be encouraged, strengthened, and blessed by. I am one not full of fanciful words; I am rather plain and simple most of the time, and I do eventually get to the point of each part of the story I will share with you, so be patient. I pray that you will get something out of what I share with you. My faith walk has not been an easy one; then again, whose faith walk is ever easy, when Adonai Elohim is at the helm and directing our steps?

Some parts of my faith walk will be surprising, especially to those who have known me for most of my life; others who have not known me too long, some of what I share may not sound too extraordinary. But everything I do share with you, is the TRUTH; I need not embellish or dramatize anything in order for you the reader to be impressed in any way. I will share with you what has happened to me since the end of January, 2020, up until the present day. If you need to catch up on how it all began with me, I suggest to get my first two books in the WITDWF series; it will make much more sense to you as I move forward and share the rest of my faith journey. You will see just how far I’ve also come and grown spiritually, and how the challenges of the Lord have gotten a bit more difficult along the way, especially in the last year or so.

If you decide to follow along with me while I share my faith journey, I thank you. Please make sure to like my posts, subscribe for the emails so you don’t miss any of my future blog posts. I will try and write a couple of times each week (don’t want to overload myself or you–we are all busy with life and what we each have to do); I’ll just trust in the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in all that He wants me to share with you in each blog post.

Again, thank you in advance for following me and taking the time out to read my faith journey in these posts.

The Passover Lamb Fulfills the Spring Feasts

https://youtu.be/SSLBcHglEm4?si=DHwaISGAeWN1s8hz

OK–I tried to send this out on Holy Thursday, and when I tell you that not only did it mysteriously “disappear” while I was writing it out, but THEN, my whole computer was acting up so much, I had to shut it down and restart it a few times over. Long story short (and by this time, after “checking” ✅all the “logical” boxes to see what was wrong, I knew this was the work of the evil ones, not just some weird computer glitch)–I ended up having to RESET my WINDOWS on the computer🤦‍♀️😫!! I was soooooo ticked off!

As all of that was happening, I was reminded by the Spirit that “This IS the time of the Black Sabbath sacrifices–remember?”😯🤔–Yep–I knew it, but I honestly try NOT to “go there” mentally, but instead concentrate on all that’s going on with Holy Week, and then Tridium. BUT–the evil ones😠somehow had the “ability” and were allowed to mess with my computer, and did just that to tick me off, and NOT send this out when I wanted to.😒

BUT–here it is NOW; I always😉was a very persistent child, which the Lord loves about me–I’m not a quitter. I’ll get the job done, even if there are blockades in the way.

PLEASE take the time out to watch this video by “So Be It”–Jewish believers in Yeshua; it is an EXCELLENT video, and explains more than what I went through here.

The MAIN THINGS I wanted to share and POINT OUT to you in this video that obviously the evil ones HATE to have people finally understand, are these:

Exodus 12:3-6; and also 7-13 —PESACH/PASSOVER comes from THIS passage, which happened after the 10 plagues. The LORD instructed his people to apply the BLOOD OF THE LAMB on the doorpost and lintels of their homes, to PROTECT them from the Angel of the LORD who was to strike down the 1st born male in each family (10th plague).

JOHN 1:29–John the Baptist sees his cousin Jesus come toward him, and John then shouted out, “BEHOLD the LAMB of GOD, Who takes away the SIN of the world!”

✨✨JESUS was crucified ON PASSOVER, which is the FIRST NIGHT ONLY in the week of THREE DIFFERENT SPRING FEASTS✨✨–I’ll get to that amazing information in a bit…

📖REVELATION 5:6,12 and 13:8 speaks of a LAMB Who was slain, and those in Heaven at that time sing praises to Him saying, “Worthy is the LAMB Who was SLAIN…” It also speaks of how whoever takes the mark of the Beast/AntiChrist, THEIR NAMES will NOT be “in the book of LIFE of the LAMB Who was SLAIN” (Rev. 13:8).

YESHUA WAS that PESACH/PASSOVER LAMB, Who gave His life up for ALL of His Creation. As the very popular but true verse says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that WHOSOEVER believes IN Him (Yeshua) should NOT perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE” (Jn. 3:16).

He IS the living📖WORD of God (Jn. 1:1,14) Who was with the Father and the Holy Spirit AT the CREATION of the WORLD (Genesis 1:1, Colossians 1:16), because in Colossians 1:15 St. Paul the Apostle STATES that “HE (Yeshua) is the IMAGE (that means one can SEE Him!) of the INVISIBLE GOD (the Father), the FIRSTBORN of all creation.” That does NOT mean He was the first to be CREATED, because not only IS the Lord Jesus ONE (Echad) with the Father and the Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit AT the time of Creation, verse 16 SPELLS it out for the reader that “FOR BY HIM (JESUS)ALL THINGS were CREATED, in HEAVEN (that means the angels, other supernatural celestial beings, etc.) and on EARTH (humans, animals, plants, the EARTH itself, etc.) VISIBLE and INVISIBLE—“

In Colossians verse 19 it stated, “For IN HIM (JESUS) ALL the FULNESS of GOD was pleased to DWELL (just like the HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS in EACH CHILD OF GOD that has repented and accepted Christ as their LORD and SAVIOR).

EMMANUEL = GOD WITH US–it’s RIGHT THERE, folks!

and PLEASE try and UNDERSTAND THIS NEXT PART—“…whether THRONES or DOMINIONS or RULERS or AUTHORITIES–✨those are the angelic hierarchy that the TRIUNE GODHEAD created–they are mentioned in both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, especially in the letters of Paul.

The ANGELS–both GOOD and EVIL (and their offspring!) play a HUGE PART in ALL that has been going on in this world SINCE Genesis 3 took place–the FALL of mankind in the Garden of Eden. I’ll speak more about that again at another time, God willing. I just wanted to point that out to you, because of what PAUL said in verse 20 of Colossians–
“and THROUGH HIM (Jesus) to reconcile to Himself ALL THINGS, whether on Earth OR IN ✨HEAVEN✨(because of the fallen angels that sinned, and helped to deceive mankind into thinking they didn’t need to worship the Most High God alone, but could worship no god [atheistic] or any number of gods [polytheism] as many of them did back then, and TO THIS DAY), making PEACE by the BLOOD 🩸OF HIS ✝️CROSS.”

GETTING BACK to the THREE DIFFERENT SPRING FEASTS
Any one of my Jewish friends can attest this to be true!

“Passover” is the general term for the EIGHT DAYS of the THREE feasts; the FIRST night is “Erev Pesach” (Passover Eve) —
✨PESACH/PASSOVER is technically only on the FIRST DAY-when the sacrifice of the LAMBS are being done (that’s the DAY when Jesus was crucified–“Good Friday”, which was a high holiday Shabbat);—see 1 Corinthians 15:3;
✨FEAST of UNLEAVENED BREAD is the remaining days in the week; –see 1 Corinthians 15:4a (Christ buried in the tomb on that Friday night–remaining in there throughout all day Saturday)
✨FEAST of FIRST FRUITS is the DAY after Shabbat, right after the Feast of Unleavened Bread–THIS DAY of FIRST FRUITS is SUNDAY (for us this year, April 20th)–which coincides with RESURRECTION SUNDAY–hence the Lord Jesus gathering the FIRST FRUITS of all the OT saints waiting in the “Paradise Section” of SHEOL! –see 1 Corinthians 15:4a

AND–to have more Scripture back THAT up, especially all those saints being RESURRECTED along with the Lord Jesus–see Matthew 27:52-53–
“The TOMBS also were opened. And MANY BODIES of the SAINTS who had fallen asleep (died) were RAISED, and ✨COMING OUT ✨OF THE TOMBS after ✨HIS (JESUS’) RESURRECTION they went INTO THE HOLY CITY (Jerusalem) and APPEARED✨📖to many.”

THAT is the FEAST of FIRST FRUITS coming to PASS right there, along with the PASSOVER LAMB Who was SLAIN, being RESURRECTED from His tomb, the Mashiach YESHUA–the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH (Rev. 5:5) Who
ONE DAY WILL RETURN (Rev. 19:11), because He promised, “Behold, I WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW” (Rev. 21:5).

BUT REST ASSURED–ALL things that have been 📖prophesied in the Scriptures by the ✡️MOST HIGH GOD, first MUST come to pass.
That means, ALL that is written in REVELATION 6-18–the 21 JUDGMENTS that will befall this Earth, unfortunately WILL COME TO PASS.

MANY SOULS will be tested to finally accept the Lord Jesus in those days of the AntiChrist’s 7-year reign. BUT–many also will NOT accept the Lord Jesus, and take the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:16-17)–when they do that, their souls will perish, and not even the Lord will be able to save them once they side with the AntiChrist.

I know this was LONG, but I want you all to please try and understand how the PIECES of the VERY BIG PUZZLE of the 📖SCRIPTURES can be “put together” to understand it better. The Lord does have His “mysterious ways” about Him–believe 🙄you me, I know. I’m constantly trying to “figure” Him out, and it’s impossible. BUT–because I SEEK HIM as the Scriptures tell us to, He has graciously allowed me to learn things that most have not taken the time out to learn, know, and understand.

BUT–now that I have that knowledge, I must SHARE it. I’m not the only one–that’s for sure, but I am responsible to share what I know, as well as every other child of the King of kings who has been given the responsibility and privilege of studying His Word, especially in the ancient languages.

I pray you and your family have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED rest of PESACH, and RESURRECTION SUNDAY!✡️📖✝️

Mary Answered “Yes” To Her Calling

Miriam/Mary—a young Jewish woman who was betrothed to Yussef/Joseph, technically married but had not yet consummated the marriage at this point, had every right to ask the angel Gabriel HOW this was to be done to her (Lk 1:34). After all, Mary KNEW what would be done to those women who had children out of wedlock…

BUT putting that fear aside, and TRUSTING in the MOST HIGH GOD El Elyon, who SHE ALREADY RECOGNIZED AS HER SAVIOR, Mary said, “YES” to her CALLING. “Let it be done to me ACCORDING TO THY WILL.”

Can WE act out in the same strength of FAITH and TRUST in God in whatever the Lord has called us to do in this life, that mother Mary that day showed(and later on, Joseph as well to go ahead and trust the Lord in all of this!)?

Can we that proclaim Christ as our Savior and Lord, put our very LIVES on the line, even if it meant certain DEATH?

Mary did. So did Joseph.

Let’s be like MARY, and say, “YES” when the LORD asks us in the VERY near future, to do very hard things—much harder than this world has ever seen.

🙏🏼❤️May we endure to the end as Mary and Joseph did, and who received the honor due them down the millennia of being CHOSEN as the parents of the Most High God’s Son—the Savior of the World, Who WILL RETURN…SOON.✡️📖✝️🕊️

My ZAZZLE Store is OPENED!!

I finally did it–I opened my online store on Zazzle! It is called, “Faith in the DARK”–of course!

Here are but just a few different items I am selling on Zazzle, pertaining to my WITDWF book series, and plus much more!

When I would go to look for a t-shirt et al with Scripture or some faith message on it, I noticed I had to look far and wide to find such t-shirts. I couldn’t understand how there weren’t enough vendors out there to produce biblically inspirational products. It was a bit frustrating, but then a little over a year and a half ago, I found Zazzle, and a few merchants on there that had what I was looking for! I was thrilled to finally get some t-shirts with some Hebrew or Latin on them, but I wanted more. I wanted to wear certain passages of Scripture as a witness to others of the reliability of God’s Word.

I know it was from the Holy Spirit Who gave me the idea, because I do NOT consider myself “artistic”! I am not gifted with drawing, painting (unless it’s “by the numbers!😂), sculpting, etc. My gifts are in music (singing and playing certain instruments), the ability to “speak in tongues = several languages, but that’s basically where it ends with the “artistic” side of me. So I never thought to do something like create and design products to actually sell.

To be completely honest, I still am not savvy when it comes to all the technical aspects of dealing with this blog page, or even when I am trying to create a post with pics using Quotes Creator, and now my newest addition to helping me create and design items to sell or just for posts–Vecteezy. My “brain power” is basically allotted for all my biblical studies, the dozens of books I have to read to do my homework and research papers ( I have one due at the end of this week–my birthday😫week!), so there isn’t much😂left of me once I get done with another eight-week PhD course!

BUT–I might as well add this here in the blog post now–I will be taking a little “break” from my PhD courses until August, when the Fall semester starts up again. I’ve been going to school full time since September of 2018, and I am TIRED😩! I won’t be sitting around doing nothing–that’s for sure, but the guillotine won’t be hanging over my head as far as discussion posts and papers being due every week. I get to sit back a bit and BREATHE😑, take my time while I DO continue to work and finally FINISH my third and final book in my WITDWF series, as well as working on other book projects!

Also, now that I started this “store” on Zazzle called, “FAITH IN THE DARK”, I can create and design more products to sell that those who like to be a witness to their faith in Christ, can purchase items for themselves, or as gifts for others. Some items for sale are coffee mugs, t-shirts (obviously–and a LOT of them!)–and when I say t-shirts, Zazzle allows you to put it on whatever you’d like–a long sleeve, short-sleeve, tank top, sweatshirt, hoodie, etc. Zazzle encourages us creators to make “collections” of certain designs, so the potential buyer can see what the design would look like on a certain item.

And-not everything I sell has Scripture on it; some people don’t want that, because they may not be a believer, but they do like the picture or design. For example, I have a collection called, “Black-Eyed Susan”–flowers that I just love! I took the pics a couple of years ago, and decided that would be a nice addition as a collection on Zazzle. I made a few example of the pictures on an Ipad cover, print, pillow, and even standard size sheets for the bedroom! Another design is from beautiful pictures of the Grand Canyon–I put that on certain items like a clock, desk mat, t-shirt (that one has a Scripture verse on it), and even a trinket tray-a place to put your jewelry.

What I have up on Zazzle right now is just the beginning–I did as much as I could prior to the semester that started mid-January, and I’ve added more almost every night after doing class work, and and sometimes on the weekends. If you go to my Facebook or Instagram pages, you will also see some products there. I’ll get them on the other social media websites as soon as this course is over on March 7th, but I just wanted enough out there for people to see what I am creating and designing, and so that they can help me through one of the more difficult aspects of my FAITH walk–not having a 9-5 “normal” job, BECAUSE of my “calling”, and the Path that the LORD God put me on. It’s not like I am not allowed to make money, but it seems like I really have to “work hard” for that money (just like writing the books!), and the LORD “stretches” me by making me do things like creating these products–something I thought I would never do! Acts 18:3 tells us that Paul was a tent maker; he had to do something in order to support himself, besides ALSO acting on FAITH that others would support him in his work for the LORD.

I hope you enjoy checking out my Zazzle store; please visit it often, because I will be adding new items consistently throughout each and every month. Again, the links here are just a few of the examples of what you will now see in the store. If you ever would like a certain Bible verse or passage on a t-shirt or any other item, please let me know and I will try to accommodate you with that.

Thank you very much in advance! I will continue to alert you with some newer products, and also let you know how my writing projects are coming, and when the third and final book of the series will be released on Amazon. The books also are all “self-published”–I don’t have the thousands of dollars it takes to hand over to a Christian publisher, nor am I “well known” enough for them to even be interested in me. This has ALL been done out of FAITH, TRUST, and OBEDIENCE.

It probably won’t be until May (that’s the “deadline” I’m setting for myself) that my final book in the series is done, and right after that one I’ll try and write and finish a very important book on the Triune Godhead, the sons of God, divine council, and where all this evil in the world most likely came from, hopefully just before school starts up again in August. This book may just end up being part of my dissertation (if I last 😄that long!) for school-the LORD will advise me about that as well when the time comes. Until then–keep walking in the DARK with FAITH, and NEVER let go of His HAND as He is guiding you! God bless!
