Weekly Sermon, 15 May 2022
by Pastor John Weaver
God does have enemies and His people, when in obedience rejoices over their chastisement. Many Christians don’t know this but here is what the Bible says.

Note: We hear today of Satanists in government, industry and all walks of life. It has really gotten ‘in your face’ today. Here is what the Bible has to say on the subject. You don’t hear this from a biblical perspective in the alternative media, which you should.
To relate this to the flat earth, think of the spell that is cast when you watch the news; images if a revolving planet are placed in your mind.
by Pastor Peter J. Peters
Mind control and people control is real and is what the Bible calls “the sorcery of Babylon” (Rev. 18:23) and the “casting of a spell” (Deut. 18:1 1). It’s being used today against God’s people as a result of their idolatry. Though modern-day idolatry is not recognized or understood, its consequences are addressed in the Song of Moses (Deut. 32) which was and is a latter-day prophesy. “For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the- -latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight
According to the Song of Moses, because the covenant people went after false gods (Deut. 32:15-18) and practiced idolatry also known in scripture as harlotry (Psalm 106:39) they would be punished by their God with serpent-like enemies which He would send against them. (Read Deut.32:21- 27.) Speaking of the latter-day success of those serpentine enemies over His people, God says, “How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had given them up?” (Deut. 32:30). In other words, the latter-day enemy of God’s people would gain a great victory in spite of being a minority in number. Their victory comes through their sorcery practice of casting a spell which deceives the nations (Rev. 18:23).
The Christians have been told of and warned of the spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:12) and the ability to capture and plunder a people through philosophy and vain deceit. “See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you, your selves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition… ” (Col 2:8 from the Amplified). This can be done by casting a spell.
God’s law forbids spell casting. -There shall not be found among you anyone…who casts a spell…” (Deut. 18:10-11 NASB). The King James translation uses the word “charmer”. “There shall not be found among you…a charmer” (Deut. 18:10-11 KW).
The Hebrew word as defined by The Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament by Baker means “to bind, to facilitate, spoken of some kind of magic which was applied to the binding of magical knots (Deut. 18:11, Psalm 58:5) of the incantation of serpents.” Holmons Exhaustive Concordance defines it as “to unite, be joined, to tie a magic knot or spell, to charm.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines spell as “that which has power to subdue opposition and to gain the affection…”
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN SPELL CASTING? IDOLS
As previously stated, the Babylonian sorcery practice of spell casting is being used against God’s people as a result of their idolatry. Therefore, it should be of no surprise that it involves idolatry, i.e., the erecting of idols. Because Christians seem to think idols must be in the nature of a physical object such as a totem pole, or household figurine type objects or a Catholic statue and such like, they fail to heed the warning of 1 John 5:21: “Little children guard yourselves from idols.” The Greek definition of the word which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; whom he called together with the work-men of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover, ye see and hear that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: so that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also, that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
Step three is the open-door policy. It’s a bedroom door and a trap door, for if one walks through it, the door slams shut and the magic knot is tied i.e., the spell is cast by the enemy sorcery practicing serpents.
During the demonic fit and demonization process there is always a door left open for the alleged offender. Once the threatening offender has been attacked, demonized, made to feel wrong and evil in his or her so-called old fashioned antiquated beliefs etc., the opportunity to repent and turn from such evil ways is given. Just as the true God extends open arms of grace and mercy to the sinner who will turn from his wicked ways and returns to this false god.
If you will simply apologize and say you are sorry and were wrong (and perhaps even take a government sponsored sensitivity training class) you have walked through the trap door and have become captive. You appease the media god and the adverse public opinion gods they sent against you. You appease them with a sacrifice: the sacrifice of your conscience. They made you feel like you were out of line and now when you get in line with the false god your heart and mind get out of line with the true God. This is where the spell is cast and the magic knot is tied and this is what James called double-mindedness.
You have made up your mind that Homosexuality is an acceptable alternative lifestyle and even a right. This is the sacrifice of your conscience, yet in your heart you know that it’s wrong, a perversion and an abomination to God. The reason you cannot accept that it is wrong is due to the fact that you yourself have become an idolator. Think about it. The reason the public decides right and wrong is because they are idolators following the very same seductive lie of the serpent in the garden of Eden. “… You will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen 3:5). It’s nothing more than humanism wherein the people lift up self above God and they themselves decide good and evil, right and wrong. They become the great “I AM” and they do as they please rather than what would please the true God. There are two words in propaganda and demonization is for the purpose of making the offender “feel” bad about themselves and so out of self-love and what James calls “love of the world” the seduced victim whores him/herself. Thus, when God’s people choose such a love affair rather than loving their God (i.e., their husband) with all their HEART and all their MIND, they are guilty of what Hosea called harlotry (translated whoredom in the KJV) and are trapped and unable to return to their God, i.e., repent. “Their deeds will not allow them to return to their god. For a spirit of harlotry is within them.” (Hosea 5:4) “For the land commit flagrant harlotry forsaking the Lord.” (Hosea 1;2).
James, addressing the same people as Hosea, uses the word adultery. “James, a bond-servant of god and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad … You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 1:1 and 4:4)
To better understand what James is saying, consider again the illustration of succumbing to the Public Opinion/ Political Correctness idol on the subject of homosexuality. It is really becoming a friend of the world. The youth on the college campus that doesn’t succumb to the politically correct position may be discriminated against by the professor with a failing grade, the child on the school ground may be ostracized by the ‘click,’ the businessman may lose business, the preacher may offend and lose church attendance. So, for comfort’s sake, and self-serving reasons, they make friends with the world and become an enemy of God.
The definition of the word spell means “the power to subdue opposition and to gain the affections” and this is exactly what _happens. Homosexuality is literally taught in the schools, flaunted—of little vision-and forced on the people through various laws and city ordinances and there is no opposition to speak of. But think what the opposition to it would have been a scant twenty to forty years ago. In fact, it has gained the affection of the people. This can be seen when a preacher in the role of a prophet speaks out against it and the citizens see him more queer, more dangerous, and even more unloving and unchristian than the homosexuals. How has this happened? – Through the casting of a spell.
(There is much more on this subject including how the spell can be broken which the space of this article does not allow us to cover.)
What Would Happen?
King Jehoshaphat and the Kingdom of Judah was facing a very serious national crisis. Three powerful armies—the Moabites, Ammonites and Edomites—had made an alliance with each other to conquer the smaller Kingdom of Judah.
When King Jehoshaphat was informed of the coming invasion of the large multitude of these three enemy forces, the Scriptures inform us that he “feared,” but “set himself to seek the LORD” (2 Chronicles 20:3).
In the next verse, we are told that the King gathered all of Judah together to ASK HELP OF THE LORD. The King Jehoshaphat followed God’s commandment of what to do in situations like these by going to the house of God (2 Chron. 7:14) and they:
1. Humbled themselves
2. Prayed
3. Sought God’s face
4. And they turned from their wicked ways.
The kingdom of Judah was no match against these three ancient foes. In his prayer before gathered Judah (including their little ones, their wives, and their children; vs 13), King Jehoshaphat indicated such:
“For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee” (2 Chronicles 20:12b)
The God of Israel was pleased with the leadership of King Jehoshaphat and his obedience. For as a result of his faithfulness, God answered Jehoshaphat’s prayer by sending the prophet Jahaziel. The prophet’s words were astounding:
“Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S” (2 Chronicles 20:15b)
Then followed one of the most unbelievable military victories in history. Like the battle of Jericho, this battle was clearly one of Divine intervention. And all the nations that were located in the Middle Wast knew it:
“And the fear of GOD was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel” (vs 29).
AN APPLICATION
During the old covenant days, Israel was to gather and seek their covenant GOD at the Tabernacle/Temple when any four areas of evil came upon them:
1. The sword
2. Judgment
3. Pestilence Or famine
In the previous story of King Jehoshaphat, the evil was the Sword. And so superior was both the infantry number and military strength of their enemies that they King of Judah readily acknowledged that they (including himself) “KNEW NOT WHAT TO DO!”
Today in the United States, the same covenant people of the same covenant God face another dire situation. While all four areas of evil are no doubt present or near—the most urgent evil is PESTILENCE.
DISEASE IN AMERICA
According to the World Health Report 2000 the United States ranks 12th out of 13 countries that were surveyed with regard to sixteen available health indicators. Even worse, the United States ranks last for low birth weight and neo-natal and infant mortality.
Heart disease, cancers, arthritis, diabetes, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia are so widespread in the United States that it is estimated that over half the population exhibits one or more symptoms of these life-destroying diseases. Symptoms of adult onset diabetes are now being routinely noted in six year old children. Obesity and its related endocrine dysfunction are commonly observed in teenagers.
One hundred years ago most diseases in the United States were infectious diseases. But their frequency and fatality rate have been greatly reduced because of improved sanitation and cleanliness.
However, new diseases have appeared with much more devastating consequences. Not only are they fatal, but they rob the person of vitality and strength. They cause much agony and suffering. Loss of memory, loss of endurance, loss of energy, loss of general health to such a degree that many spend the last years of their lives as invalids.
One of these new diseases, practically unknown in the 1800’s is DIABETES. Surprising to many, diabetes has many symptoms:
1. Arteriosclerosis
2. Elevated blood pressure
3. Elevated cholesterol
4. Elevated triglycerides
5. Elevated blood sugar
6. One time strokes, both ischemic and hemorrhagic
7. Heart failure
6. Renal failure
9. Liver failure
0. Obesity
11 Impotence
12. Retinopathy
13. Peripheral neuropathy
14. Polycystic ovary syndrome
15. Systemic candida
16 Impaired carbohydrate metabolism
17 Impaired fat metabolism
18. Gangrene
19. Blindness
20. And others
So rapidly has this disease progressed in the United States that in a hundred years it has gone from a per capita incidence of only 28 out of 10,000 to over 5,000 out of 10,000 in 2004. At the rate it is accelerating, by the end of the next generation there will be very few individuals who will escape the clutches of this disease.
WHAT CAUSED DIABETES TO APPEAR?
Simply put, the cause of all these symptoms of diabetes is the violation of two of the Ten Commandments and one corollary that God gave to His people (Deuteronomy 5:17, 18):
Commandment #6 “Thou shalt not kill [murder]” Commandment #7 “Neither shalt thou commit adultery.”
Corollary: “The LOVE of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)
There are two types of diabetes: Type I and Type II.
1. Type I diabetes is when insulin is insufficiently produced by the pancreas.
2. Type II diabetes is the newer of the two. It occurs when the insulin is sufficient, but ineffective in reducing the blood sugar.
The obvious question should be what happened in the United States that caused the insulin that is produced to be ineffective in reducing the blood sugar in the blood? The answer would have to coincide with something that occurred in history in the early part of the 20th century that caused that devastating effect to occur.
THE ANSWER
The answer is important as it gives a key to preventing and
a way to be cured from these common diseases—ADULTERATED FOOD AND DRINKS
To quote from the website: http://www.healingmatters.com/deception.htm:
“As early as 1901, efforts had been made to manufacture and sell food products by the use of automated factory machinery because of the immense potential profits that were possible [LOVE of money]. Most of the early efforts failed because people were inherently suspicious of food that wasn’t farm fresh and because the technology was poor. As long as people were prosperous, suspicious food products made little headway. Crisco the artificial shortening, was once given away free in 2-1/2 pound cans in an unsuccessful effort to influence the United States wives to trust and buy the product in preference to lard.
Margarine was introduced and was bitterly opposed by the dairy states. With the advent of the depression of the 1930’s, margarine, Crisco and a host of other refined and hydrogenated products began to make significant penetration in the United States food markets. Support for dairy opposition to margarine faded during WWII because there wasn’t enough butter for both the civilian population and the needs of the
military. At this point, the dairy industry having lost much support, simply accepted a diluted market
share and concentrated on supplying the military.
Flax oils and fish oils, which were common in the stores and considered a dietary staple before the American population became diseased, have disappeared from the shelf. The last supplier of flax oil to the major distribution chains was Archer Daniel’s Midland and they stopped producing and supplying the product in 1950. More recently, one of the most important of the remaining genuinely beneficial fats was subjected to a massive media disinformation campaign that portrayed it as a saturated fat that causes heart failure. As a result, it has virtually disappeared from the supermarket shelves. Thus was coconut oil removed from the food chain and replaced with soy oil, cottonseed oil and rape seed oil. Our parents would never have swapped a fine healthy oil like coconut oil for these cheap junk oils. it was shortly after this successful media blitz that the US populace lost its war on fat.
For many years coconut oil had been one of our most effective dietary weight control agents.
The history of the engineered ADULTERATION of our once clean food supply exactly parallels the rise of the epidemic of diabetes and hyperinsulinemia now sweeping the US as well as much of the rest of the world.”
What changed? The clean real food supply changed to an artificial, adulterated food supply. And as a result a epidemic of diseases. This includes godly Christians who rightly had forsaken the unclean foods.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! Christians must avoid not only unclean foods bur also adulterated clean foods; and fake artificial foods.
Artificial, fake sugars: Refined sugar (white), whether it is refined from cane, beets, corn or molasses parallels the refining process of heroin. Repetitive refining: from the poppy juices to opium, then further refined into morphine, and finally to heroin. Man-made sugars are refined several times until finally they are reduced to white crystals.
Artificial fake sweeteners: Saccharin is made from coal tar and formed by dehydrating saccharinic acid. Even though it is more than 300 times sweeter than cane sugar, it has absolutely no food value whatsoever, but causes a very acid reaction in the body. An even worse sweetener is aspartame (Nutrasweet). This excellent ant poison is made with aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methyl alcohol. Methyl alcohol is a chemical that breaks down in high temperatures and turns into formaldehyde and diketopiperazine (DKP); both chemicals are known to cause problems in the nervous system. The symptoms of aspartame are a lot like the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease as well as a connection to epileptic seizures and brain tumours.
Artificial, fake starches: Macaroni and other pastas are manufactured by removing the bran which is rich in vitamins and minerals. To the ground up wheat is added water—therefore a dehydrated paste food. Breads, cereals, cakes, pastries, donuts and other baked goods made from devitalized white flour are not only devoid of any nutritional value, but can be blamed for a vast majority of the ailments that afflict today’s civilization.
Artificial, fake fats: Lard, margarine and similar packing house products, fats, and greases, have their constructive nutritional value totally destroyed when they are heated to very high temperatures in order to process them. The cooking of donuts, french fries, fish (covered with dough and bread crumbs), and onion rings (which are coated with dough).; in deep-fat fryers cause the person eating them to experience the degeneration and disintegration of the body long before its time.
Artificial, fake beverages: Soft drinks, along with beer are two of the most dangerous of all the drinks. Mixed together are a man-made drug, a corrosive ingredient, carbon dioxide, coloring matter often made from coal tar or from the distillation of coal, or dyes, or heating aluminum with chlorine, or from dried and pulverized female lice.
Artificial, fake oils: Man-made hydrogenated oils are deadly oil when consumed. Created to help extend the shelf life of foods, it shortens the life of anyone who eats it.
In addition, since foods have been further adulterated by colouring agents for meats (sodium nitrites), food enhancers (monosodium glutamate), preservatives (yeast extracts), and substances created by high cooking temperatures (acrylamides), pesticides, herbicides, hormone injections, radiation, excessive sodium, genetic altering, and on and on and on … then in order to prevent disease, a Christian must
avoid all processed foods: that is, foods that come in a box or a can.
SUMMARY
Why are many Christians sick? It is in most cases because of what they have eaten. Instead of eating real food that was created by God which would nourish and regenerate their cells, they have eaten man-made artificial foods that not only have starved and suffocated their cells but have also afflicted them with poisons.
Deception is an enemy of Christendom. Many assume that the Jews are God’s chosen people and as a result have a faulty prophetic and world view. Many assume that the food at the grocery store and restaurant are safe and nutritious, and as a result are suffering from all kinds of degenerate and disabling diseases. Amen.
Think about the moral decay that is going on in what once was called Christendom.

Out of the 68 books of the Bible, 34 deal in one way or another with the subject of giving and receiving. Out of 72 references to giving, 48 show open promise of God’s pledged blessing to the giver. “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38) Can anyone give evidence that God does not keep that promise? We believe that He more thank keeps His Word. However, we also believe in proportionate giving, and that minimum standard of Christian giving is “one tenth” or “the tithe” to use the biblical expression. No one has really given to God until the tithe has first been paid. We are also convinced that many Christians suffer materially, physically and spiritually, because they have been misusing and appropriating that which belongs to God. We trust you are not one of them.
The tithe is simply 10% of one’s increase or income. In the Bible it is also called the “first fruits” if offered in the form of crops, and “firstlings” if offered in the form of cattle and sheep many, not recognizing the difference between the letter and spirit or principle of the law have thought we no longer should be obligated to tithe because the Bible speaks of tithing crops and herds and oil and wine. Such people miss the principle of the Law entirely. In olden times men used the barter system for commerce and that was all they had to give. But today we use a medium of exchange or money, which represents the same thing but it is convenient. So today we tithe our money.
The first mention of tithe is found in Genesis 4:3-4 where Cain and Abel brought their gifts to the Lord. If we are to rely on the teaching of the early church fathers concerning Cain and Abel, we must connect the sin of Cain with tithing. The fathers taught that Cain’s offering was rejected because he did not bring the whole tithe of his increase to Yahweh, basing their conclusions largely on the Septuagint version of the incident. The Sacred Tenth, by Henry Lansdell, Baker Book House of Grand Rapids, Michigan, furnishes the proof of this position. And P.W. Thompson, an able English writer, has this to say on the same subject:
“So strongly has this view impressed some of the Church that in this history of the two brothers they find the first reference to the tithe, and in the Council of Seville, held in 590 AD, a cannon was passed which reads, ‘If anyone does not lithe everything, let the curse which God inflicted upon Cain for not rightly tithing be heaped upon him’.”
The next mention of tithing in the Scripture is found in Genesis 14:17-20, where Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedec. This is a very important reference as we shall see later. Then, later on in Genesis 28:22 we have the account of Jacob making his vow to tithe. These references show that tithing was a law known to man from the very first and was practiced long before Israel was organized into a nation and given the Divine Constitution to administer, with tithing incorporated into the economic system. So we have there tithing as practiced in non-theocratic civilization; of great importance to modern Christians.
Under a theocracy, which is the perfect type of government, tithing was different and men had advantages which they do not have in man-made governments. In Leviticus 27:30-32, we are told very definitely that the tithe is Yahweh’s and if one is guilty of misappropriating the tithe he may redeem it by adding a fifth part of it (10% + 2% = 12%). Then we are told that the tithe was paid to the children of Levi, who were comparable to our civil servants today, and one-tenth of that tithe was to go to the Aaronic Priesthood (Numbers 18:21-28). It was used as a state tax.
First, there was the regular tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22), then every third year an extra tithe (Deuteronomy 14:28; Amos 4:4) was collected for the poor, the widows, and the orphans. Besides these two there was a soldier’s tax paid by all the male population to save them from doom in battle (Exodus 30:11-16). Authorities disagree as to how much this amounted to – somewhere between 15-18% of the income. Only a small percentage under a theocracy with the Law of God as the Law of the Land. But as a curse for us, we are not willing as yet, to live under a Divine constitution. But the tithe still belongs to God. What, then, are we to do about it?
If we are living in a theocracy, with the Divine constitution, the tithe would cover everything but at present we are living under man-made governments, and man-made governments collect their own taxes. But the tithe still belongs to God! The extra tax exacted by governments of our day is the penalty we pay for not accepting God’s rule over us nationally. Israel was told of this very thing when she demanded a king, to become like other nations, that he would misappropriate the tithe (I Samuel 8:11-18).
Now, let us turn to the New Testament references which we believe sill shed light on the most important subject. The first one is Hebrews 7:1-8 which we believe is unanswerable. In this passage the Apostle is making a comparison between Melchizsedec, to whom Abraham paid tithes, and Jesus Christ, and showing the superiority of Jesus Christ over Abraham. But the Apostle’s argument certainly falls flat and he breaks down in his efforts to show the superiority of Christ, if Christ is not to receive tithes, as did Melchizedec, who was a type of Christ, to whom should Christians, who are the children of Abraham, pay tithes?
The writer of Hebrews settles this matter with verse 8.
Here we have the plain statement that Christ “receiveth them (tithes) of whom it is witnessed that He liveth.” Who witness that Christ is alive? CHRISTIANS! As His witnesses, Christians tithe to Jesus. How could Paul make it plainer?
The other reference is found in I Cor. 9:12-14. Here the Apostle Paul is referring to Numbers 18:21-28 where the tithe was paid to the priest. And as God ordained in olden times, that they who ministered in sacred things should be supported by the tithes, just so now those who preach the Gospel should live of the same. This is God’s order for us today. And we are convinced that many sincere Christians, suffer so much needlessly, materially, physically, and spiritually, simply because they cannot or will not, from a loving heart, out of gratitude to God, tithe their income systematically. God’s pronouncements on this are the same in all ages – a curse on those who do not tithe and a blessing on those who do (Mal. 3.8-12; Proverbs 3:9-10; 11:24-25).
Now, besides these passages by the Apostles, we have the direct words by Jesus Christ to the men of His day who certainly were not living under a theocratic state:
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law; judgement; mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone.” (Matthew 23:23)
The interpretation which has been put on these texts is the same as was taught by the early church fathers. A Christian should think twice before he rejects a teaching on which the fathers were so unanimous and spoke as with one voice, as they did on tithing. Especially should we give heed to what was taught for the first three or four centuries when the church was closest to the Apostles and was the purest in its doctrine. Even eleven of the great church councils, up until the year 790 AD ordained all Christians to tithe and held that to do so was “divinely ordained.”
During the years 1913-14, the following question was published in a number of religious journals in the United States and Canada: “Have you ever known anyone who was less happy less generous, or less financially prosperous from being a tither?” A total of more than 10,000 “no” replies were received and not one “yes.”
Here is a testimony, like many which are on record, from a William Arthur, a Wesleyan Methodist minister of London, England, taken from his famous lecture on systematic and proportionate giving: “I know many men who, at the outset of life, gave a tenth. These have all been prosperous men. I do not know one of them but shows that the effect of his early adopting one-tenth has been to prepare him for higher proportion when years of plenty set in. the very night before I left London to give this lecture, I asked a friend of mine who had adopted the principle of giving a tenth early in life and whom the prospering hand of God had raised from humble beginnings to a position of great valuable influence, if he every knew a case in which a man set out on the principle of giving a tenth to God, and PERSEVERED IN IT, and failed in life? HE answered ‘Not one’.”
If you are not a their, my friend, do begin this practice immediately and you will find many surprises awaiting you. Here are a few of them: You will be surprised at the deepening of your spiritual life while paying the tithe; at the ease with which you meet your obligations with the remaining 9/10 of your money; at the amount of money you will have to give to the Lord’s work; at the ease in which you can go to larger giving, finding it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35); at the preparation which tithing gives to be a faithful and wise steward over large incomes; and at your own foolishness in not tithing sooner.
Who to give it to? The late Pastor Emry used to say “you should pay where you are fed!” If you are blessed and learn from a particular ministry – then put your money there! He also told of someone who was in the habit of giving a small offering. Gradually the man’s income went down to the point that his small offering was actually his tithe. When he started giving more, his pay increased.
Low income? No one could have less than the widow who cast two mites into the temple treasury. (Mark 12:41-44)
“But thou shalt remember Yahweh thy God; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may established his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18
You can’t afford to tithe?
Can you afford NOT TO?
Weekly Sermon, 1 May 2022
The Revelation of Yahshua Christ opens thus: “A revelation from Yahshua Christ which God had given to Him to show to His servants the things which are necessary to happen quickly, and He having sent explained through His messenger to His servant Iohannes, who bore witness to the Word of God and the testimony of Yahshua Christ, as many things as he had seen. “
It is clear from John 1:1 that John believed Yahshua Christ to be God come in the flesh. Where the Revelation testifies that it is written by “His servant Iohannes, who bore witness to the Word of God” that can only mean that this John who wrote the Revelation is the same John who wrote the Gospel, the “Word of God” mentioned here.
The intent here is to demonstrate that John the apostle wrote the Revelation, as the Revelation itself clearly informs us that he did, and that he was indeed confined to Patmos for a time during the reign of the emperor Domitian. After the death of Domitian, John was able to leave Patmos and retire to Ephesus. Since Domitian ruled from 81 to 96 AD, we see that John was indeed quite aged when he wrote the Revelation. Since he was a very young man during the ministry of Christ, I think we could estimate his age to be around 84 years in 96 AD. This destroys Preterism, a view of prophecy adopted by medieval Jesuits for political reasons, since Preterists insist that all prophecy was fulfilled by 70 AD. V.S. Herrell should take note, that while he claims to be a separatist, his doctrine is that of the jews who sought to protect the papacy from the true historicist interpretation of prophecy!
The following excerpts are all taken from The Ante-Nicene Fathers: Translations of the writings of the Fathers down to A.D. 325 from Logos Research Systems. By “Fathers” here they mean all of those early Christian bishops and other writers whose works have been preserved to one degree or another. Some of these writings are, of course, of greater import than others. While we may not agree with all of their doctrines, Christianity at this time was quite different than what the organized Roman church later professed, and the historical accounts found in these documents cannot be lightly dismissed.

The Scripture is clear, hate is a thought pattern which people are suppose to have. When hate is involved we adopt a certain emotion just as we do when we love. In society people are expected to hate tax protesters, people who have gun collection and those who resist the government. Hating evil however, does not seem to be the “in thing” these days, mainly because that which is good is now evil and that which is evil is now good. (Isa. 5:20)
Our government and certain others have made hating certain people a crime. Hating gays for example, and speaking against them will be and now is (in many countries) a crime. But what is a crime?
Bouvier’s Law Dictionary says it is “An ACT committed or omitted in violation of public law…” Webster’s says it is “An ACT which violates a law, divine or human.” In order for crime to exist some unlawful ACT must be committed. Is quoting the Bible or expressing an opinion a crime, even if it offends others? Again, there needs to be an unlawful ACT associated. What is an ACT? Mr. Webster defines it thusly: “To exert power; to be in action or motion; to move.”
Calling a homosexual a “sodomite” is biblical. Generally however, killing a homosexual without a trial is not. It is bad enough Christians have allowed man to “legalize” homosexuality but now homo-perverts and government must keep others from speaking truth about their crimes. Darkness “hates” light and cannot afford to be exposed – for TRUTH always prevails in the end.
Webster defines hate as: to dislike greatly; to have great aversion to.” In other words, it is a thought pattern which may determine our ACTions or behavior. Examine the phrase HATE CRIME next to MURDER CRIME. Murder is a crime (not to be confused with killing), whereas hate is not. There is NO biblical law against hating. And until now, not even man had laws against it. Keep in mind that man is not authorised to make any law that violates or amends Yahweh’s Law.
It is fine to try someone for an unlawful ACT (crime) committed against a person which is motivated by hate – but it is quite another to try someone for having the motivation who has not comitted any unlawful ACT (crime) violent or otherwise.
Technically, there cannot be “hate crimes” because hate is not an “ACT” unlawful or otherwise and therefore is not a crime.
“You’re being pharisaic playing with words,” you may say.
Words, my friend, are used to enslave people and are regularly, like clock work, twisted by our government to make you think one thing while they mean something entirely different (especially in court). What we are doing now is defining and unscrambling the words.
Case in point: Trick language. A sheriff’s department published in a newsletter called “The Neighborhood Watch.” The lead story is called “Sexual Assault.” We quote, “Sexual assault is ANY uninvited or unwelcome touching or TALKING about the private parts of your body.” (Caps are mine.) “Many states now define all forms of sexual conduct carried out against a person’s will as a crime.” I do not condone rape, or even verbal sexual overtones. I want you to notice though how cleverly the “verbal” is included as a crime.
Be careful next time you say “Thank you honey,” to the young lady behind the counter because women (especially lesbians) are encouraged to report “ANY KIND” of sexual assault and told “don’t feel guilty or ashamed.”
THOUGHT CRIMES is what we are facing. If you verbally express a thought (free speech) that is against government policy you can be tried and punished regardless of whether you have physically injured anyone.
I have to laugh when I see on alternative media websites or hear an audio by a conservative Christian who says, “We are not a hate site,” or words to that effect. Christians have been conditioned over the years that to hate anyone or act it not Christian. All I have to say is, “Read your Bible”. Just do a word search of “hate” in the Bible and you’ll see that it is scriptural to hate.
What the State is doing is, along with hate crime laws is forcing THEIR religion on us and wanting us to abandon Christianity.
Keep the Laws, Statues and Judgements in the Bible as God gave them to us!
