Someone who is on the list has recently prayed “Father judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly”.

He is going through a torrid time of loss and discomfort as a consequence of sin that Yah is now dealing with him about.

I have been offering counsel by email but in response find that he is battling to know whether to follow my counsel or the counsel of others.

In response I offered him the following – slightly amended here in an email with subject “Purifying your doctrine”:

“Now that you have prayed "judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve You more perfectly" you can no longer pick and choose the doctrine that suits your intellect

“There is ONLY ONE doctrine that will get you out of your present situation and that is the doctrine according to Yah

“Before you accept counsel from others or accept doctrine from others ask the following questions:

“1. When did they first pray to be judged severely and corrected harshly? -- if the answer is “never” or “don't know” then be very cautious of accepting their counsel

“2. When did they first pray "show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it"? -- if the answer is never or don't know then be very cautious of accepting their counsel

“3. When did they first pray "lead me into all truth"? -- same as above

“4. When did they go on at least seven consecutive three day fasts seeking purification of their doctrine? -- same as above

“In response to the above my answers are:

“1. About 1998 and regularly since then

“2. About 1998 and regularly since then

“3. About 1995 and regularly since then

“4. 2000 and again in 2010

“Accordingly my brother I submit that my doctrine can be trusted and I urge you, if in doubt, to follow my doctrine rather than the doctrine of others”

I have reached a point where I offer roughly the same response to anyone who challenges what I believe in the context of what I claim Yah has shown me.

It is possible to pass all sorts of judgments on what I have just written but for me there is a harsh reality, it is only after I started praying these prayers that I started to find out the level of error in the church and it is my considered experientially based opinion that in the absence of regular prayer of these prayers it is impossible to find truth because one is NOT really seeking truth.

In the same way, it was only when I went on the first series of eight three day fasts at ten day intervals in 2000 that I started to get massive revelation of truth and these truths were consolidated and refined following the second series of seven three day fasts at seven day intervals in 2010 – this leads me to conclude that UNLESS one adopts some course of action similar to the above that one is NOT in a position to express firm opinion on anything relating to the things of Yah.

Remember, if you do NOT ask for judgment in this life you WILL be judged on the Day of Judgment and, based on my experience, you WILL be found wanting!

Conclusion

Appropriate prayer and fasting is the only way to refine doctrine – be very wary of the doctrine of anyone who is not regularly asking Yah to judge them and show them their error and lead them into all truth and who has not fasted in search of truth.

If you are seeking counsel from others then it is your liberty to pray for them to be judged and corrected and shown their error and led into truth but you do NOT have the right to do that UNLESS you pray it for yourself first.  I would go so far as to suggest that you INSIST that anyone who teaches should pray the above prayers publicly every time BEFORE they deliver a teaching and include it as a preface to everything they write or record – to this end I have added these prayers  at the end of this message and intend to do this as a routine.

In recent months I have received a steady stream of emails on various topics that argue matters of doctrine (teaching) from in-depth intellectual analysis of the Bible and other texts.

Frequently these arguments and the resulting conclusions are totally at odds with what the Almighty is saying and it becomes apparent that the writers place high reliance on their intellect and the intellect of other “learned” people.

In doing this they totally miss the message of Yahooshua {Jesus} and every other prophet that has ever lived which is fundamentally, “seek a personal relationship with Yah (the Almighty Creator) and seek to please Him” – fundamentally nothing else matters and nothing else will qualify one to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity.

This is simple to do but so difficult because it requires one to lay down the worship of one’s intellect and accept that one does NOT know how to overcome, or to please Yah or even how to have a relationship with Him – it is simple because one is only required to completely set aside one’s intellect and walk with Yah by faith and, in a sense, blind trust, it is difficult because our entire upbringing fights against doing this.

Together with this article is also “2012_01_05_Getting close to Yah -- appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL” which was published on this list slightly over a year ago which sets out a range of measures that one can take in order to hear the Almighty Creator clearly.

I commend this document and the approach that it advocates for your earnest and prayerful consideration.

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

There is a strong need on the part of most human beings to rely on group consensus as an indication of the validity of a particular position or belief and it is common for believers to cite the majority in support of a position that they are defending or arguing for.

Over the years Yah (the Almighty) has said to me on several occasions that “the majority is ALWAYS wrong”.

In 1995 I was wrestling with a critical area of doctrine where what I thought I was hearing from Yah was diametrically opposed to what the church was teaching.  I approached a man who I considered to be a highly anointed servant of Yah according to my paradigm of the time and told him what I believed Yah was showing me.

His response was to the effect of “James, I can find you 15,000 Bible School graduates and NOT one will agree with you”.

At the time that seemed like quite a heavy argument, so I went back to Yah, quite intimidated.

Yah’s response to me was that this man was correct, he COULD find 15,000 Bible School graduates that would agree with him BUT they were ALL in error.

Yah then challenged me as to whether I would go with Him and what He had taught me or go with the majority, I chose to go with Him and that is the choice I have chosen to make repeatedly since then in response to what He has taught me.

This has happened so frequently that it has now reached a point that if I find myself considering any area of teaching relating to Yah and the things of Yah that if an opinion is widely held or, in fact, a majority opinion within the body of believers then I expect to find over time that it is in error.

Thus, the minute that anyone uses an argument based on majority opinion I immediately consider the possibility that the majority opinion IS in error – Yah has said to me that this is a universal principle.

Keep in mind that through the ages there have only ever been small numbers of people who have been at some material level aligned with Yah on a reasonably consistent basis – consider Noah, Moshe {Moses}, David, Yahooshua, Shaul {Paul}, etc.

We are commanded to listen to Yah, to have a personal relationship with Him, to hear directly from Him and there are an extremely small number who do this and even most of them have some level of corruption because they have not yet achieved the required level of set-apartness {sanctification} and knowledge and experience to hear with any read degree of accuracy – remember always that there is a cacophony of FALSE voices in the spirit realm all of which are inundating us with false messages.

Conclusion

Yah’s truths are submerged by false messages, the majority are ALWAYS wrong when it comes to the things of Yah.

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