Ephesians 
"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the
whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to
Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have
wars." 2CHRON 16:9
The
United States of America, once the bastion of Liberty and leading proponent of
Christian culture, is rapidly devolving into a totalitarian feudalistic state
characterized by the following class structure -
The
political elite : obsessed with lust for power and wealth;
deliberately ignorant of the fact that they occupy their office only at the
pleasure of the King of Kings and solely to serve His purpose; characterized by
arrogance, perversion, greed, and avarice.
The
financial elite : fearing
neither God nor man; only allegiance is to mammon; utilize slave labor in the
The
intellectual / religious elite : reject the true Christianity
of the Book of Acts; blown about every wind of doctrine; play the harlot with
humanism, foreign gods, and antichrist civil and commercial plutocrats.
The
average American : licentious,
libertine, and lazy; hedonistically pursuing self gratification at the expense
of his posterity; content to submit to slavery as long as he has a six-pack, a
few doobs, and a ball game or a skin flick to watch.
While
the elitists pursue their New World Order, and the libertarians posture and
postulate their anarchist delusions, God still has a remnant of believers who
have not been seduced by the world, flesh and the devil and discern between
truth and error. They have put on the mind of Christ and are spiritually
discerned. They have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that they might know the
things that have been freely given to them by God. These things they also
speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit
teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. They love without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil.
Cling to what is good. They are not lagging in diligence but are fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in
hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer. Having gifts
differing according to the grace that is given to them, they use them. Hence
they report things as they are that

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,

The
Place and Purpose of Prophets!
God is alive and well today
and He is still a consuming fire and a fire which blesses some and destroys
others. Just like He destroyed
And a young man
ran and told Moses, and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the
camp." So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, one of his choice men,
answered and said, "Moses my lord, forbid them!" Then Moses said to
him, "Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD'S people were
prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!" Numbers
11:27-29
Pursue love,
and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For he who
speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him;
however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. But he who prophesies speaks
edification and exhortation and comfort to men. He who speaks in a tongue
edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
I wish you all
spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is
greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the
church may receive edification. 1 Corinthians 14:1-5
Let two or
three prophets speak, and let the others judge. But if anything is revealed to
another who sits by, let the first keep silent. For you can all prophesy one by
one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. And
the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 1 Corinthians 14:29-32
The place and purpose of
prophets is to speak and for other to judge themselves to see if it might be
possibly true. For the bible states about prophecy:
to another the working of
miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another
different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 1
Corinthians 12:10
And God has
appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties
of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:18
Love never
fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are
tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 1 Corinthians
13:8-9
Now we know in part and we
prophesy in part but Apostles and prophets are still real today and they do
have something to say. While other judge and make their own opinions and
analysis:

Purpose of Our Reporting is to make known:
the mystery which has been hidden
from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To
them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach,
warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present
every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according
to His working which works in me mightily. Colossians 1:26-29
Our
Statement of Faith
The Bible is
the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
There is one
God manifested in three persons: Father, Son, Holy
Spirit.
The deity of
our Lord Jesus, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious
and atoning death, His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and His personal return in power and glory as Lord of Lords and
King of Kings.
The fall of man
and his lost estate, which makes it necessary for the rebirth
through the confession of and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The
reconciliation of man by the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
The
baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues as being the initial
evidence according to Acts 2:4.
The
supernatural present ministry of the Holy Spirit as found in 1 Corinthians
That Christ's
has Lordship of the Church, the observances of the ordinances of Christian
baptism by immersion for believers and the Lord's Supper.
The
resurrection of believers unto everlasting life in heaven and of unbelievers
unto everlasting punishment into hell.
We also believe
that any statement of faith is useless and will put a person in hell if they
ignore the commands of Jesus:
Jesus answered
him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O
We also believe
that
On the Cross
Jesus did the great exchange. He exchanged His sinlessness for our sins, His
righteousness for our unrighteousness, His strength for our weakness, His
boundless supply for our needs, His stripes for our healing, His riches for our
poverty, His victories for our defeats, His triumphs for our disappointments,
His glory for our nothingness, His Honor for our shame, and His fullness for
our emptiness. But it all has to be appropriated by faith or it won't do us any
good. All of God's promises and provisions are inherited by faith and patience
and given to those who believe and obey God and His word and not those of men
or demons!
Our
Doctrinal Statement
We believe in:
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
The Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy
BAPTISM AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to endue the believer with
power; and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Act
2:4).
DIVINE HEALING
Divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the physically
sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
The second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1
Thessalonians
We also believe that Jesus Christ alone is to be the Author and
Finisher of Every
THE PLACE AND POSITION OF APOSTLES AND PROPHETS
We believe that the Baptism of the Spirit and the Gifts of the
Spirit are for today for the body of Christ as God has not and will not cease
His work until the end of the age. Even though many Evangelicals and others
have falsely pre-determined that scripture is completed and fulfilled and that
the gifts of the Spirit and Apostles and prophets have ceased. But that is
absolutely untrue for the book of Acts does not have an ending. And God still has the right to bring revelation
knowledge and understanding about Himself using His chosen true servants, such
as Apostles and prophets even this day.
(For the record, God can call and anoint any one today to be an
apostle just like Apostle Paul or John. To be one who would write authoritative
letters to the churches and gave him the power, position and mandate to go with
it just like it.
As a matter of fact that which Satan stole from God's church
with the establishment of tradition and law long ago God is returning in full
wholeness to His beloved church. He shall once again flow in complete unity
among all His people. He shall annihilate denominations which have caused
division for so long. He shall return and is returning the ministries of
prophet, apostle, evangelist and teacher to the
1) Jesus
would be filled with the Spirit
There shall
come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch
shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of
counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. Isaiah
11:1-3
2) Jesus
would live by the Spirit
His delight is
in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor
decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the
poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the
earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay
the wicked Isaiah 11:3-4
3) Jesus
would minister in the power of the Spirit
Then Jesus
returned in the power of the Spirit to
4) Jesus
would say
"The
Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel
to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to
the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who
are oppressed; Luke 4:18
"It is the
Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you
are spirit, and they are life John 6:63
5) Jesus
would seek and do God's Will, Not His own
And He was
withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this
cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." Luke
22:41-42
Jesus said to
them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me,
and to finish His work. John 4:34
The bottom line is that Jesus
was dependent on the Holy Spirit and did things but the Spirit and so should
all those who are called by God's name?
