In seeking to better understand my own journey with Yah and to understand some of the things I have observed in recent years I have come to see the following picture:

In order to walk consistently and sustainably with Yah it is necessary to walk in a balance of these four dimensions – relationship with Yah, anointing of His Spirit, knowledge of His teachings, commandments, laws, principles, etc and experience of Him and His ways.

It seems to me that most of us get off track when we grow in one area and neglect the others.

If we pursue knowledge at the expense of anointing, relationship and experience our knowledge becomes dead.

If we pursue anointing without knowledge, relationship and experience we get lost in "feel good" experiences and possibly even signs and wonders without having the insight and relationship and experience to apply the anointing effectively.

If we do not have a close relationship with Yah and do not hear His voice and know His heart on matters we can get seriously derailed and make serious mistakes.

If we concentrate on relationship and anointing and gain knowledge but never put it into practice, make mistakes and gain experience our faith is dead and of no value.

Most of us tend to be strong in some of these areas and weak in others but if we remain weak in certain areas it will eventually result in our walk being side-tracked or derailed.

Many people who I have observed miss Yah have done so because they have drifted too close in some areas at the expense of developing in the other areas.

All of these dimensions are necessary to climb the mountain of Yah and get really close to Him and be effective:

This graphic illustrates where all human-kind is with regard to Yah and Satan.

Every person on the planet is somewhere on the blue line.  Those far towards the left are operating in high levels of error and evil and those towards the far right are operating in high levels of truth and good and relationship and closeness to Yah.

Most people on the planet live in the relatively level ground in the middle with a mixture of significant amounts of truth AND error – just "ordinary" people – they are largely unaware of the spiritual battle raging around them, they have enough sin to send them to the Lake of Fire on the Day of Judgment.  They are therefore not a threat to the forces of darkness so the forces of darkness do not trouble them unduly.

The people on the far left are Satanists, Witches, etc and are actively and knowingly serving Satan and are backing Satan for victory – it is important to note that it is relatively easy to slide down the hill towards increasing deception and evil and that ultimately it becomes a slippery slope leading to destruction – "broad is the way".

On the far right are those who are seeking to grow close to Yah.

The graphic of the mountain depicts that it is not an easy climb, that it is easy to slip and slide back down and that, in earthly terms, the mountain is not attractive.

The higher one climbs on this mountain the more difficult it becomes and the more one is attacked by the forces of darkness, whether direct attacks or demonically inspired thoughts, tiredness, carelessness, lust, etc.

Getting to the top is what it means to be an overcomer, one who emerges at the END of one's life victorious over all the challenges that the forces of darkness and life generally have thrown at one.

A large part of making this climb successfully and sustainably lies in the first diagram – a balance between relationship, anointing, knowledge and experience.

If you aspire to be an overcomer and sit on a high throne for eternity or, even if you just aspire to make it to heaven at all, you need to understand these two diagrams and seek to walk in that understanding for the rest of your life.

"Father, judge me severely and correct me harshly in the name of Yahooshua"

and "Father, please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it in the name of Yahooshua"

and "Father guide me in all possible ways that I may overcome to the end, in the name of Yahooshua"

are all important prayers

Conclusion

It is vital to find a balance between relationship with Yah, anointing, knowledge and experience in the service of Yah and to constantly seek to climb closer to Yah in all of these areas.

If you are NOT drawing closer you are falling away as is happening to most people today.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

In response to my recent article on "Covenant NOT New Testament" I was challenged about my statement that less than 2% of the bible is inspired.

The person who challenged me was coming from the perspective of teachings which claim that the entire bible "is the living word of God and breathed by God".

As I debated the subject with this person I came to a better understanding of what I was saying in that article which is basically that most of what is recorded in the bible is words written by men with limited or no specific anointing or inspiration.

In terms of what Yah said to me regarding less than 2% of the book being inspired this relates to words given directly by the Spirit of Yah.

By way of illustration, in Malawi in 1994 Yah spoke through me directly for about an hour as I prophesied over three other men and myself – during this time the only control I had over what was coming out of my mouth was that I could have chosen to shut my mouth.  I had no foreknowledge of what came out of my mouth, Yah was speaking through the vocal chords of James Robertson in the first person.

Yet we all knew that it was Yah speaking.

Thereafter I taught for about a further two hours and during those two hours I said things that again I had no foreknowledge of, we all knew it was Yah speaking through me although I was then speaking as James and the level of inspiration even then was lower than during the first hour.

Yah has NEVER again spoken through me with that level of anointing and inspiration.

I have written in excess of six thousand pages of documents relating to the things of the Almighty and I would like to believe that in most of these there has been some level of anointing or inspiration, yet I have to say that to my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired.

I have also had Yah give me revelation in business and I would like to believe that there has been a fair level of anointing and inspiration in much of what I have written and done there as well.  Yet, to the best of my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired either.

The rest of the time there has been some level of James Robertson in the message – Yah has been speaking to my spirit, my spirit has received the message and integrated it with my thoughts to produce spoken or written words which contain some level of anointing and inspiration.  However, in terms of the definition that I am seeking to develop in this article these words are NOT "inspired" in the full sense of the word!

It does not take inspiration to recount history although some level of anointing IS useful in ensuring that the most relevant information IS recorded – this applies to at least half of the bible if not more – so these historical accounts cannot be regarded as inspired.

Much of the rest of the bible comprises writings of one kind or another, including accounts of words spoken by various people that may be inspired at some level but are NOT fully inspired.

There are some limited passages which recount words spoken directly by Yah and words spoken by Yah through various spokesmen {prophets} including Yahooshua, Moshe, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc – this is the 2% I am referring to.  Much of Proverbs reports inspired words and some of the Psalms are inspired.  That is the limit.

And, once one lets go of the idolatry associated with believing that "the bible is the living word of God" then it no longer matters.  The bible IS a USEFUL collection of historical writings about interactions between the sons of Adam and Yah the eternally self-existing, in fact, arguably the most important collection that exists in widespread use – why does it have to be more?

Remember, Yah has spoken BILLIONS of words to the sons of Adam a minute fraction of which are recorded in the bible.

Yah has inspired billions of pages of writings at some level through the sons of Adam of which a minute fraction are contained in the bible.

Why limit Yah?

If YOU want inspired words then the best thing to do is to draw closer to Yah until He can speak directly and clearly to you and through you – STOP LOOKING TO OTHER SONS OF ADAM FOR THIS!

Remember also that Yah has called spirit filled believers to REIGN with His Spirit for a thousand years – Yah is looking to you and me to be filled with His Spirit but ALSO to exercise our discretion and intellect to execute Yah's will on earth.

Yah did NOT create us to be glove puppets, Yah created us to have an intelligent, deep, personal relationship with Him.

Conclusion

The quest for inspired words should take you directly to Yah.

Less than 2% of the words in the bible are directly breathed or dictated by Yah, the rest have some level of input from the writers.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

In a recent conversation the subject of "I am executed with Yahooshua {Jesus} it is no longer I that live but the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ} that lives in me" (Galatians 2:20) was raised.

Pondering this conversation later it occurred to me that many people do not know how to achieve this spiritual state in their own lives and so I thought I would write a bit about why one would seek this state and how one would go about achieving it should one decide it was something of value.

This article seeks to answer these questions.

Before we can discuss accomplishing death with Yahooshua we need to define what it is.

Death with Yahooshua is a spiritual state in which the Spirit of Yah {the LORD} indwells a person at such a level that the Spirit of Yah guides and directs that person at a level that in some measure it is Yah living in and through that person rather than the person living in their own strength and ability.

Death with Yahooshua is NOT necessarily a visible spiritual state.  Some who are truly dead with Yahooshua AND who have achieved a high level of anointing (infilling with the set-apart {holy} Spirit of Yah) will be visibly different but most of the time there is no visible difference.

Death with Yahooshua is a state in which the will, thoughts, words and actions of the person who has died with Yahooshua are subject in large measure to the Spirit of Yah and their own earthly desires are at some material level laid aside in order for Yah to live through them.

Most people would question why on earth one would seek "death with Yahooshua" – the short answer is that this is what we were created for – to have such a close and intimate relationship with Father Yah that He can live in and through us.

That is "the way" that Yahooshua refers to when he states "I am the way, the truth and the light" – it is the way of self-sacrifice, of setting aside self and worldly desires so that Yah can live in and through us and therefore reign on earth.

We are called to align our intellect, our minds, our wills, our words and our actions with that which we are lead to do by the Spirit of Yah in order that He can move through us.

This is the highest and most important spiritual state on earth, it is why we were created, to be in such close fellowship with our Daddy in Heaven that He infills and indwells us.

If you have any fear of the Day of Judgement, if you have any respect for Daddy Yah, if you desire to please Him and bring Him joy then dying with Yahooshua is a non-negotiable necessity.

If you are happy to blunder along from day to day, do not think there is a Day of Judgment and do not fear spending eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone then this article is NOT for you.

Without Faith it is not possible to please Yah.

Dying to self or dying with Yahooshua is first and foremost a work of faith.

It is an invisible state, a state that is not readily amenable to intellectual interpretation, it relates to a state of being and a level of relationship with Daddy Yah so, before one can seek this state one must believe by faith that Daddy Yah exists, one must choose by faith to seek to please Him, one must choose by faith to seek to die with Yahooshua and one must believe by faith that all these elements are valid, valuable and achievable.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.

Once you have chosen to exercise your will to seek death with Yahooshua by faith the next step is to speak the words that are necessary to bring this into existence.

All things are created by words, our entire knowledge of the things of the Kingdom of Yah is framed and defined by words and, in some cases, words associated with tangible experiences.

Prayers are simply petitions or requests to the Court of Heaven for consideration by the presiding Judge, Father Yah, assisted by our advocate, Yahooshua the anointed of Yah and opposed by the prosecutor or accuser Satan and his cohorts of Angelic and demonic beings.

Before you can die with Yahooshua you must at some level take a decision to seek death with Yahooshua and you must then SPEAK out the words that are necessary for this state to be achieved.

There is no simple recipe, each person will walk this road using different words, prayers, etc but the principles are valid for all.

Following are some prayers that you might choose to pray in seeking to die with Yahooshua.

All should be prefaced with wording along the lines of "Father Yah I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask that …" and should end with wording similar to "I ask this in the name of Yahooshua" – it is up to you to determine the wording that seems most appropriate to you.

In praying these prayers please keep in mind that the change that you are seeking is complex, multifaceted, abstract, intangible and takes time to achieve – you will need to pray these prayers regularly for years and do what you find to do from time to time in order to reach the required spiritual state.

Be aware that this is a journey that you are embarking on that will last for the rest of your life if you are willing to walk this road for that long, and you should walk it for the rest of your life because it leads to the most important spiritual state available to us as human beings.

Prayers might include:

… I ask you to put my flesh to death with Yahooshua and to fill me with your set-apart Spirit that I may serve you more perfectly …

… I ask you to help me to overcome to the end …

… I ask you to help me to live my life so I may be found to be a good and faithful servant on the Day of Judgment …

… I ask you to help me to bring you Joy every day of my life …

… I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it …

… I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly …

… I ask you to enlarge my territory in knowledge of you and your ways and your will and your kingdom …

… I ask you to take the people you do not want in my life out …

… I ask you to bring the people you want in my life in …

… I ask you to close the doors in my life that you desire closed …

… I ask you to open the doors in my life that you desire opened …

… I ask you to grant me sensitivity to know when you are opening or closing doors or taking people out or in and I ask you to help me not to get in your way …

… I ask you to speak to me in whatever way I am able to hear you – through people, radio, TV, videos, movies, newspapers, magazines, books, emails, websites or in any other way I am able to hear you …

… I give my life to you totally to do with as you see fit …

… humble me when I become proud …

… correct me whenever I step out of line …

… my desire is to please you and serve you to the full extent that you desire for the rest of my life …

You should also pray defensive prayers, take the bread and wine of the covenant regularly (I do so daily), as discussed in other articles on the ETI List.

Pray anything as you are led and, by faith, expect that your prayers will be answered.

Be alert to guidance in whatever shape or form it comes to you and do your best not to kick against the guidance that will follow from praying prayers such as those listed above.

In the first year after I asked Father to take the people He did not want in my life out he removed a large number of people from my life.

Be aware that some of the above prayers may result in almost immediate answers but that most of the time the answers to these prayers will come on an on-going basis for years and years.  As a guide, death to self will probably take at least five to ten years of committed and obedient service to Yah before you reach a level where the level of death to self becomes apparent to those around you.  It can happen more rapidly if you really "go for it!"

During this time you may have many intense experiences and may experience great rejection, misunderstanding, opposition, criticism, etc.

The forces of darkness HATE people who make the choices and pray the prayers listed above so expect all hell to break lose against you when you start seeking this state of being.

Expect personal loss, financial loss, material loss, emotional pain beyond anything you have ever considered possible, you will, in time if you are diligent and committed experience the pain of death in a pronounced and enduring fashion.  BUT, IF (and it is a BIG IF) you continue, if your commitment does not cave it, if your resolve is significant you will eventually attain your goal.

You may not achieve the fullness of what is possible, very few people do and in this age there is no one who is walking at anything near the fullness of what is possible but that should not discourage you.

Your benchmark is Yahooshua NOT other people in this age.  Your goal should be to walk in the power and authority and anointing that Yahooshua walked in, to do the works Yahooshua did and GREATER works, to be an example to others and to roll back the oppressive deep darkness that blankets the world today.

In order to die with Yahooshua words are not enough, actions are also required.

Faith actions will be required as Father leads you down the road He has chosen for you.

He might ask you to sell all you own and give to the poor, He might tell you to move to another country, He might tell you to do any number of things and it is a measure of your commitment and death to self as to how readily you obey in what He calls you to do.

Father will not only call you to do things that involve what people might regard as noble sacrifice, He can ask you to do any number of things.

It might be as simple as stopping and giving a word of knowledge or encouragement and some money to a person at the side of the road but it could be much more than that.

However, in your quest to be put to death with Yahooshua one of the most important actions that Father is likely to require of you is fasting.

Yahooshua fasted for forty days in the wilderness before he began his ministry, there are other examples.  Moses fasted twice for forty days while he was on the Mountain with Yah.  In both cases they undertook total fasts – in modern terms it is probable that you will die before you can complete a forty day total fast with no food and no water – one must be walking under an extremely intense anointing before such a fast is possible.

However a forty day fast in which only water is consumed is entirely possible and I know a number of people who have undertaken such fasts, some more than once.  There is a school of thought which holds that one should not enter full time ministry without undertaking a forty day water only fast.

You should ONLY undertake such a fast IF Father clearly instructs you to do so and you should be careful not to engage in demanding physical activity.  It is probable that for the last ten to twenty days of the fast you will be too weak to do much and you may find yourself confined to bed.

It is vital to understand that it is entirely appropriate for you to feel weak – you are after all in a very real sense seeking the death of your flesh in a forty day fast and this weakens your resistance to the Spirit of Yah operating in your body and in your life.

It really is so that one is seeking a state in which the presence of the Spirit of Yah in your body is so great that you are dead without His Spirit and you are only able to live by His Spirit within you.

Anything less than this is a weak counterfeit of what Yah desires in your life.

I personally would suggest that if you do such a fast you might take a small quantity of bread and grape juice up to three times a day, pray the terms of the covenant and ask Father to put your flesh to death with Yahooshua and fill you with His Spirit. Others would see this as a compromise.

If you are not able to take time off work at the level that will allow you to be too weak to work for a period of several weeks you might consider other forms of fast.

I have once undertaken eight three day fasts at intervals of ten days – seven days eating normally and three days fasting and I have also once undertaken seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days – four days eating normally and three days fasting.

In the latter case I undertook a total fast barring a small amount of bread and grape juice for the first three days and last three days of the seven fasts – I was on medication that precluded me fasting absolutely totally.  For the remaining five fasts I drank reasonably large quantities of water.

It is regarded as inadvisable that one should go on more than one total three day fast (no solids or liquids) in a period of three to six months as there is apparently a risk of kidney damage.

Do whatever Father leads you to do at any point in time, this is NOT recipe stuff.

One may also make personal physical sacrifices in other ways such as spending considerable periods of time praying or worshiping or reading inspired texts – I once read the entire bible in about seven days spending the entire feast of unleavened bread reading.

Father may ask other sacrifices of you.

The issue is obedience and drawing close to Father NOT ritual or recipe.

As you journey down this road EXPECT to hear Father more clearly, EXPECT Him to test your obedience, the more you obey the more you will grow.

Different people will grow in different ways, if you do not find yourself healing the sick and raising the dead do not be discouraged, Father may be anointing you in other ways, including in wisdom in business.

Disobedience is the number one obstacle to achieving death with Yahooshua – if you refuse to do the things that Yah asks you to do, whether as simple as giving a beggar some money and encouragement or giving a prophetic message to a high profile minister of religion to giving away some asset you are emotionally attached to, to fasting, to … you will NOT grow in Him and you will NOT die to self and achieve death with Yahooshua.

The more you obey, no matter what, the more you will grow.

Worrying about what people think, particularly what people at church think or what the Pastor thinks or your wife or husband thinks or … is another major factor that will prevent you from growing in Yah and dying to self.  Fear of people and the reactions of people is probably the single biggest factor that prevents people achieving what we are discussing in this article or which causes people who have achieved very high levels of relationship, anointing and death to self to fall away.

If you go this route expect to be taken out of the formal church establishment as an almost guaranteed part of the journey.

Pride, lust and other factors can all get in the way.

Remember that the entire panoply of the forces of darkness hate those who seek to die with Yahooshua and they will do all they can to distract you, lie to you, tell you it is not important or that you have got there already, etc.

As you may have realized, the essence of death with Yahooshua is about becoming a truly anointed one.

You may also have realized by now that the lack of the above knowledge, prayers, fasts, etc is one of the major reasons why there are so few truly anointed one's on earth.  Remember that a few months ago Yah said to me that there were less than 100,000 people on earth who were truly anointed and of those there were less than 5,000 who were sufficiently anointed to be making some sort of difference on earth.

The question for you is whether YOU are one of those or whether you ASPIRE to be one of those and whether you are willing to pay the price to become one of those or to retain your standing if you are already one of those.

Remember that there are only two conditions – you are either getting closer to Yah or closer to Satan, you cannot get a certain distance up Yah's mountain and remain there indefinitely, you must keep climbing or the forces of darkness will pull you back.

Remember also that the word "Christian" at least nominally means "anointed one" and that virtually none of those who call themselves "Christian" are in fact truly anointed at a level where they are actually doing something of value for the Kingdom of Yah – where are YOU on this scale? – truly an anointed one or simple a nominal "Christian"?

Conclusion

The highest achievement on earth is to become a truly anointed servant of Yah, one who has put Yah first, who has died with Yahooshua, this is the MOST VALUABLE prize to bring to the throne of Judgment on THAT GREAT DAY!

Are you prepared?

Are you willing to make those sacrifices?

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Hopefully from the articles preceding this you are now more conscious of what is taking place in the spirit realm all around you.

Simplistically the demons on you and those you communicate with are listening for any information that would be useful to the forces of darkness.

They summarize this information and pass it on to the Satanic messengers {angels} who are monitoring you and the people around you.  These messengers then relay this information and communicate it up the chain of command to a messenger who has the necessary rank and powers to do something with it.

Because all of these messengers are created beings like you and I they have limitations in terms of the amount of information they can receive, record, digest, act on, relay or discard -- so different information will get passed up to different levels in much the same way as a human chain of command.

In many cases information will simply be filed away for future reference.  Someone I met last year had a vision in which they saw Satanic messengers in spiritual offices with spiritual books and spiritual filing cabinets filing away information.

If the information points to action then appropriate action is decided on and communicated back down the chain of command with varying degrees of urgency and prioritization until it is acted on.

What is the significance of this?

Well, firstly, if Yah is doing something in your life at a Spirit to spirit level then the forces of darkness will not know about it until YOU say something.

By way of example, in 1996 Yah told me to get divorced and told me He would give me custody of my children, I proceeded to tell my unbelieving Lawyer this after she had cautioned me that I would not get custody and within two hours somebody telephoned my ex-wife to tell her not to give me custody.

Yah showed me that a Satanic messenger heard what I said, relayed the message up the chain of command to a Satanic messenger who gave an order to intervene and prevent the will of Yah being done and they in turn sent a messenger to get someone to make the phone call to prevent what Yah was doing from happening.

I have seen other instances like this and they are, in fact, commonplace – Yah says something to a believer, they talk about it in an unsanctified atmosphere, the forces of darkness get wind of it and the next moment Yah's carefully laid plans are sabotaged.

It is vital that we keep what Yah is doing to ourselves unless He expressly tells us to declare it.

We should cover all such things with the blood of the covenant, pray protection, set ourselves apart {sanctify ourselves}, etc.

Father, I ask that you will blow away by your Spirit all in this document that is NOT according to your will and your ways, please blow away all lies and deception and leave only that which is from you, I ask this in the name of Yahooshua.

Conclusion

I strongly recommend that you are careful about what you say about what Yah is doing in your life

Give Him the glory AFTER it has happened

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I regularly encounter believers, including strong believers, who use language like "God is in control", or "Yah is in control", etc.

Language which implies that they are entirely submitted to Daddy Yah and that He is controlling their lives every step of the way.

This same belief is inherent in the belief that "the bible is the inerrant Word of God" and that Father dictated to Moses what was going to happen after Moses's (Moshe's) death so that Moshe could complete the five books generally ascribed to Moshe before he died.

A necessary part of such a belief is that every step of the way a person's life is ordered by or ordained by or controlled by Yah.

By implication, we are then all glove puppets or marionette's controlled every step of the way by an all seeing omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent god who planned all things before the creation of the earth and therefore my sin, my disobedience, etc is all foreordained and appointed by Yah for some weird and perverse stage-show where He demonstrates His ability to manipulate and control human beings.

This is FAR FROM THE TRUTH!

It is Satan who aspires to control our every move and uses the millions of messengers {angels} and billions of demons under his control to manipulate us and control us.  That is we are mostly under the control of the Dominions, Thrones, Principalities and Powers that were discussed in preceding articles that seek to achieve total control of the earth.

The fact of the matter regarding Yah is entirely the opposite.

We are NOT glove puppets or marionettes.

Yah created us with free will that we might CHOOSE to serve Him and do His will or not.

Fact is that even the most strongly anointed seldom do all Yah's will all the time, in fact most seldom really do Yah's will at all.

One of the conversations I quite regularly have with Yah relates to the next steps in issues of relationships, etc – frequently He will say to me "you know I do not know what they are going to do next" and "you are human, you may have a better idea of what they are going to do next than I do".

But

That is sacrilege, I hear you cry!

No, we have to choose, we have to listen for Yah's voice, we have to weigh up the options and make the decisions and then we have to act on those decisions.

Else the Day of Judgment is a farce!

So, we must be sufficiently submitted to Yah by His Spirit so that we pray His will into existence on the earth.

It is our responsibility to tear down the principalities, powers, thrones and dominions, to bind and cast out the demons, to loose the captives, etc.  We do this by Yah's Spirit, His anointing on us, His words through us, His authority in the name of Yahooshua, IF we are submitted and yielded to Him and obedient and listening clearly, etc, etc.

Most of the time the vast majority of us are NOT sanctified, NOT hearing clearly, NOT focused on doing His will, NOT submitted, NOT in any meaningful way really aligned with Him and yet we still claim that He is in control of our lives and will bring us the right husband or wife, or job, or whatever.

And then we get angry with Him when it does not work, notwithstanding the fact that we messed up the relationship, got to work late, etc.

We all need to take responsibility for what we think, for what we say, for what we do, etc.

Father, I ask that you will blow away by your Spirit all in this document that is NOT according to your will and your ways, please blow away all lies and deception and leave only that which is from you, I ask this in the name of Yahooshua.

Conclusion

I strongly recommend that you review your thoughts and beliefs and see where you are abdicating your responsibility to serve Yah effectively and obediently all the days of your life and deal with whatever you need to deal with including praying prayers for guidance and direction and submitting your life entirely to Yah.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace

I received the following message a few days ago and, while it uses incorrect names and certain other concepts that i do not fully agree with, i believe the fundamental message IS relevant

We should be prepared to be thrown into the furnace if necessary rather than compromise our faith and we should trust Yah to be there for us in such a situation

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

 “GOD KNOWS .. AND HE WILL BE THERE”

When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you.

When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you.

ISAIAH 43 : 2

GOD, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND .. I AM A CHRISTIAN .. I DO BELIEVE .. BUT WHY AM I STILL HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS ?

When you read the above Scripture .. you will notice that as God speaks, He begins each sentence with the words when you ..

Isnt it amazing how so many people are still living each day with this mistaken belief .. The moment I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior .. my life is going to become really simple .. no more sleepless nights .. no more stress .. no more troubles .. no more problems ..

WHO SAID SO .. We have said so .. We have decided that is how it should be ..

Well it certainly was not Jesus .. in fact in John 16 : 33 He warned us .. In this world you will have tribulations

And it was not God our Father .. because in His Word He Himself is telling us .. When you go through

So we need to get ourselves out of the mindset that when we accept Jesus into our lives .. that He is going to act as our magic wand to remove and take away all of our problems, troubles and worries.

Having real faith in God does not mean that you will never have to walk through some fiery, tough situation ..

What having real faith actually means is this .. Knowing, trusting and having full faith in Jesus Christ .. and walking fully in His spirit means that although the tests and trials will come .. God is able to turn everyone of your burning firestorms into a walk in the park ..

In the book of Daniel 3 .. We are told the remarkable story of three young men .. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego .. These three boys loved their Almighty Father God so much that when they were ordered by King Nebuchadnezzar to bow and worship the golden idol that he had built, they refused .. when the three boys refused, they did so knowing that their punishment for not obeying the King, was that they would be thrown into a burning furnace .. but they were willing to take their chances in the cruel hands of King Nebuchadnezzar because they had full faith that God would deliver them from the furnace.

And so it was .. the three Hebrew boys were tied together and thrown into the blazing fire.

King Nebuchadnezzar was rather impressed with himself .. the furnace was seven times hotter than normal and he knew that he had surely taught the three young men a good lesson.

But Wait .. as he stared into the furnace to admire his handy work .. what did he see .. what he saw was not one .. not two .. not three .. but four men in the fire .. four men that were untied, walking around in the fire showing no signs of being injured by the flames.

The King was so amazed when he saw this and he was astonished when he realised that the fourth man looked just like the Son of God .. he immediately called the boys out of the furnace and when he inspected them closely he saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies .. not one hair on their heads had been burnt .. in fact they did not even smell of smoke.

King Nebuchadnezzar was so surprised when he saw first hand that the boys had defeated and survived a situation that had destroyed so many other people.

What an amazing story .. and here is why it is so relevant to you today .. you have absolutely no guarantee that you will never have to face some terrifying situations if you believe in God .. but what you can do is declare, with one-hundred percent faith that if you face your circumstance in and with the presence of Jesus Christ that the effects of the circumstances on your life will be drastically and significantly changed.

If you have real faith in God .. you will be given His power to walk through what so many other people have burned in.

There are very few people who will ever truly understand or appreciate the fire that you have personally had to walk through .. but GOD knows .. He knows your fiery walk to victory .. and do not fear .. He is willing and more than able to heal the blisters on your feet .. the feet that have traveled THROUGH the tests and trials that have come up against you.

THE CHALLENGE AHEAD OF YOU IS NEVER AS GREAT AS THE POWER BEHIND YOU

from Violet Brink

Some weeks ago I made the point that each person on this list is called to minister and do works for Yah.

No one is called to sit in a chair once a week and listen to someone else preach or teach and then spend the rest of their lives in their worldly (secular) occupations.

We will each be judged according to what we have done with our lives.

Yah maintains a book of account for each and every human being on earth.

In that book are posted debits -  negative things that we do, sin, disobedience, idle words, people who should have been positively impacted who were negatively impacted by us -- if we do things that have ripple effects and negatively affect millions then we are held accountable for the negative impact on those millions of lives.

The book also contains credits - the positive things viewed from Yah's perspective, the times we repent of sin, the times we are tempted to sin but turn away from sin, our obedience, the pain we suffer as a consequence of being obedient, the constructive life-giving words we speak, people who have been positively impacted, if we do something for Yah and it touches millions of lives then we are granted credit for all those lives impacted by those positive faith filled inspired words and deeds.

On the Day of Judgment we will be committed to the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for all the negative items that have not been repented of during this life -- this part in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8) is the way in which we will pay for our unrepented sin -- far better not to sin and to constantly seek Yah's guidance with regard to sin that we need to repent of in this life -- "Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly that i may serve you more perfectly" is a vital prayer in this regard.

Then, based on the net balance of our account we will be allocated our place for eternity.

If the overall account is in debit then it is my understanding that we will spend eternity in hell.

If the overall account in in credit then we will spend eternity in heaven BUT there is a wide range of places of recognition in heaven ranging from "the outer darkness" in which there is "weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" by the people who are allocated that position in heaven as they realise how they have wasted their lives through to high thrones next to the throne of Yahooshua -- a place of indescribable glory.

Where do YOU want to spend eternity?

You may well ask what you can do to qualify firstly to make it into heaven, secondly to sit on a high throne.

Well, to sit on a high throne you must overcome to the end, you must end your life having served Yah faithfully and having been found to be a "good and faithful servant" on the Day of Judgment.

and you must do what Yah has called you to do.

One of the things that Yah has said to me repeatedly over many years is that my responsibility is to HEAR Him and write what i am told and to publish it on this email list.

He has repeatedly stated that there are people on this list who are responsible for distributing what they receive from me to others.

If you think you might be one of those, or even if you are not sure, the challenge to you today is to distribute that information that you consider to be truth as widely as possible.

You might forward one article to one person who might influence the lives of millions of people and all of that will be credited to your account BUT if you fail to forward that article and millions burn for eternity as a consequence all that will be debited to your account.

So, as a minimum i encourage you to start forwarding any articles that come to you that you believe have merit to as many people as possible.

You can set up a group in your email software of all the people that you want to forward things to, which could be a select few or it might be your entire mailing list, and when you get an article you believe has merit you simply hit "Forward" and enter the group in the blind copy address field on your email software and send the mail to as many people as you choose.

If you want to become more sophisticated there is a product called "Outlook address extractor" from http://www.tweakmarketing.com/products/outlook/ which you can use to extract email addresses from your Outlook inbox and other Outlook folders and a product called "Groupmail" from http://www.infacta.com/ which you can use to create personalized emails in the same way that i do to you.

Beyond that you need to actively ask Father to show you what else He wants YOU to do for Him today and every day from now on.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

I have just published in quick succession three accounts of dramatic supernatural visions or out of body experiences by three different people who have visited heaven and / or hell.

In all three cases the articles present information which is at some level at-odds with what I believe and have been publishing.

All the articles refer to Jesus, all at some level give worship to Jesus and some equate him as being God, some refer to Jesus coming soon.  There are other points.  This contrasts with my belief that the correct name of Jesus is Yahooshua and that there are increasing penalties for using Jesus that God should be translated the Almighty or might one, that the LORD should be translated Yah the eternally self-existing, that Yahooshua is NOT Yah and it is sin to worship Yahooshua and that Yahooshua will only return in about a thousand years time.

How do I interpret these discrepancies?

How do YOU interpret them?

What should YOU believe?

What should I believe?

Am I in error?

In this article I will endeavour to point you at what I believe is the answer and then leave it to you to pray about it and reach your own conclusion.

The simple answer is to conclude that James Robertson has missed it, that these people have been to heaven or hell or both and had dramatic personal encounters with Jesus and their accounts must therefore be entirely reliable.

Problem is that I claim to have had encounters with the Almighty and to have been shown that there are problems with using Jesus, that Yahooshua is NOT coming soon, etc.

One could easily get into a position where one either believes one writer or one believes the other because simplistically it would appear that one or other writer is in serious error.

But what if all parties have some truth and some error?

What if the mechanism for delivery of visions and out of body experiences is in some way constrained so there are limitations on the accuracy of the message received?

What if we cannot rely entirely on ANY message by ANY human being, including the messages in the collection of writings in the book (Greek biblios) or bible?

In 1994 I had a dramatic personal encounter with Father Yah where He filled my bedroom with a mighty rushing wind and then placed His hand on me for what seemed like twenty minutes.

The next morning I started to prophesy at a level beyond that which I had done previously and I started to pray for people and see dramatic healings.

A few months later Father introduced me to a number of shepherds {pastors} from Malawi and sometime later they invited me to minister in Malawi.

I went and while up there had a dramatic encounter with Father Yah where His Spirit came upon me so strongly that the other people in the room were knocked to the floor as I walked towards them and Father Yah spoke through me in the first person to each one of us for a period of over an hour and then taught us through me for another couple of hours.

We all knew that it was Yah speaking, no one believed that the things that were coming out of my mouth originated with me.

At that time all I knew was Jesus, God, the LORD, cross, etc and therefore what came out of my mouth used those words since I did not know they were incorrect and I did not know any other words.

If I had said Yahooshua, Mighty One, Yah the eternally self-existing and stake I would not have known what I was saying, nor would anyone else in the room.  So the Spirit of Yah was constrained to use the words and concepts that I was familiar with.

It took about another five or six years before I was able to learn about the true names and was open enough to consider the possibility that the words that I had been using all my life were pagan and false.

Chances are that if Yah had tried to give me a lesson on those points at that time that I would have lost my audience and it is quite possible that I would have run away or shut-up as well.

The conclusion I draw from this experience is that Daddy Yah is constrained to meet us where our knowledge and experience permits us to meet Him and that no matter how dramatic the experience we should always be willing to accept the possibility, in fact the reality, that we will have at some level filtered and possibly contaminated the message He wanted to give to us and through us.

It is only by being willing to constantly review and question what we believe and seek greater truth by praying prayers like "Father please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it" that we can hope to grow in truth.

In the sections that follow I will endeavour to explain more fully what happens and how this constrains Daddy Yah in even the most dramatic experiences.

Yah is Spirit and He communicates with us through electromagnetic impulses that are received by the radio transceiver we call the brain and converted into our language.

As far as I understand it, Yah does NOT speak our language, He communicates to us in His language and our soul and brain perform a translation of the signal He gives us into the language we understand.

Thus, if I associate the electromagnetic signal which relates to the name of Yah with the words "the LORD" then I will make that association, if I associate that same impulse with "Yah the eternally self-existing" then that is what I will hear and what I will say.

It seems that this same filtering and translation mechanism may even apply at some level to the images given in visions, etc – thus if I believe that Yahooshua died on a cross not a stake I will see him on a cross in a vision whereas if I understand it was a stake and NOT a cross then I will see him on a stake.

So we filter the signals through our paradigm of Yah, Yahooshua, etc.

It also seems that we may not necessarily be able to receive all signals.

Thus, if I am totally convinced that the name of Yahooshua is Jesus I will only be able to receive that, if I receive the word Yahooshua my brain will not recognize it and not know what to do with it and it will be discarded.

I further have the impression that there are some constraints on what we are permitted to be shown in visions, dreams and out of body experiences.

It seems that for the most part these experiences are permitted in order to elaborate on what we already know and not in order to fundamentally correct error of belief in us.

That is challenging because there is a widely held implicit belief that if a person has a dramatic experience like a vision or out of body experience, everything they report is reliable and accurate.

It is a challenge to consider the possibility that their brains may have filtered and conditioned the messages received and even blocked them or corrected them.

It seems there may also be some spiritual legal constraints on what can be given this way – otherwise all that would be required to bring the entire planet to saving knowledge of Yah would be to give every human being the sort of experience of Hell described by Bill Weise.

It seems that we have to gain a certain minimum level of knowledge in any area BEFORE we can get confirmation of this through a vision, dream, etc.

The key learning from this discussion is that we should rely on NO man.

Use the experiences of others to challenge ourselves, cause us to change opinion, etc but then draw close to Yah and seek the truth directly from Him.

Conclusion

The bottom line is that, no matter how powerful the experience of other people, we must draw close to Yah and seek our truth from Him and NOT from men.

Men may act as agents or catalysts to help us learn or change but ultimately we must turn to Yah if we are to overcome to the end!!

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
