Taking the Wind out of the Muslim’s Sails
Yeshua (Isa) (pbuh) instituted true worship to his Father, YHWH (pbuh) on the Day of Pentecost 50 days after he rose from the dead. It is written in Jn 4:20-24:
Our (your) fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.KJV
Anytime you read BUT anywhere, it is a time for a pause, because everything written before that word is about to be altered by everything written after it. Jesus Christ instituted TRUE UNDENIABLE WORSHIP, which is truly spiritual. On Pentecost the disciples of Yeshua spoke in the tongues of men and angels for the first time in history. (You can read about it in Acts 2.)
No one can any longer bullshit anyone else about worshipping the One True God, YHWH. The apostle Paul speaks more about it in 1 Co 14:1-5
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual (pneumatikos), 2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth (what he is speaking) howbeit IN THE SPIRIT he speaketh secrets. 4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, KJV
Speaking IN THE SPIRIT is speaking in a language that you yourself do not understand (secrets) and it is UNTO GOD. This is how a true worshipper, worships. We can praise the Lord Jesus Christ but true worshippers do so in spirit and in truth in the direction of God, the Almighty.
Allah is a false god and those who worship him are false, deceived worshipers. They are sincere in what they believe. As I have always said, Anyone can believe anything they want to, but whether it is true or not is another story. People used to believe that the world was flat
There is only one True God and he calls himself YHWH.
My Book Arrived Today!
I received my first books today to review for any Publisher errors and didn’t find any! It will be available for sale soon on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at Westbow Press. This book is not just for believers in Jesus Christ, but for Jews, Muslims and all others who have yet to believe. In it I chronologically detail the events of the Great Tribulation, broken down into 2 three and a half year periods, as prophesied by Daniel and portrayed in the Book of Revelation. In the event that anyone chooses not believe prior to these events, you will at least know what to expect. It will be available in soft and hard cover as well as an e-book. God bless and thanks in advance for your purchase.
DEATH: Public Enemy Numero Uno!
Just before noon on Thursday, Harry B. Farris, one of my high school classmates died. Even though I have not seen him since graduation in ’67 we “befriended” each other recently on Facebook. No one I know knows how he died, but it is really isn’t relevant. What is relevant is that death the number one enemy of life; stands to reason, doesn’t it?
Logic and reason are no longer rational ways of thinking in this age, not only in the world, but especially among the church. It is written in 1 Co 15:26 that the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. It is also written in Heb 2:14 that through his own death Jesus Christ might (would) destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Death is still with us and it will continue to be a part of our lives until it is destroyed; it will always be an enemy.
The reason it is an enemy and always will be is because it takes us away from those who love us and those we love.
Practically every religion in the world, including Christianity, teaches
something contrary to this (I go into this subject in detail in my book.) In a sense of time, death can be viewed as the threshold to a new life with Christ, but not immediately. Until death is destroyed, the grave will be the victor. No believer will see Jesus until the gathering together when the dead in Christ will rise as it is written in 1Thessalonians 4:16.
This time period that elapses could be days, years, centuries and even millenniums. For some it has been millenniums. To the dead, who are not conscious of anything, the rising from the dead will be the next thing they are aware of. To the living, the separation is much to bear. Until death is destroyed it will continue to sting the living as 1Corinthians 15:55 describes.
I was snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez one summer off of an anchored boat. When I came up from a deep dive my head, shoulders and arms became engulfed in a Jellyfish. This was the worst sting I have ever felt and lasted about a month before the scabbed over welts healed. As bad as this sting was it pales in comparison to the death of a loved one, no matter how old they were, or young. Nothing stings like death.
Can you see how logic and reason have been removed from all rational thought processes? Please pray for Harry’s family and loved ones as they learn to deal with this tragic event. God bless and keep you.
Water Baptism is All Washed Up
The book of The Acts of the Apostles shows the transition from the Law of Moses to the grace of God in Christ Jesus. What we should see if we have not been spiritually blinded (a lot have been and cannot see it), is that John fulfilled the purpose of his ministry according to Acts 13:25. We are told by Jesus himself in 1:5 that in the future (which is now), believers would be baptized with holy spirit, not water.
In 18:25 a married couple who were believers, named Aquila and Priscilla, took aside another believer who spoke and taught the ways of the Lord Jesus fervently, but knew only of the baptism of John. It that these two expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
in 19 the apostle Paul found a group of disciples who did not know anything about spirit baptism (which first occurred in 2:4). He asked them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. They said they had not heard that there was any such thing. Paul then asked them “unto what then are you baptized?” They said, “John’s baptism.” Ac 19:4-7 goes on to say:
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.7 And all the men were about twelve. KJV
No one receives the gift of holy spirit which represents Christ in you with water baptism. This is why I say, “it is all washed up!” Our young supposedly “Pastors” are continuing in the same error that has been perpetrated by the church for centuries. This is the spirit of antichrist, to teach for faith and practice, that which is contrary to the revelation received by the apostle Paul from our Lord, Jesus Christ himself.
Paul told Timothy that many things like this would happen. I cannot believe that they who practice and teach such things do so knowing it is not the “way of God more perfectly.” 2Cor 4:4 says that many people are blind to the truth. I used to think that only applied to those who did not believe at all. Now, I know it applies to those who supposedly believe, as well.
Through the ages since Acts 2:4 cunningly devised fables have been handed down from generation to generation. These developed into “sophisms,” plausible, but fallacious arguments meant to render one wise in a sinister acceptation. They look good on the surface, but with a little digging you find they are completely erroneous. 2Ti 4:4 and 2Pe 1:16 speak of them.
I pray that all who practice false doctrine will soon see the error of their ways. It sickens me to see and hear of pastors touting the number of people they perpetrate this error upon. I heard one say recently that he was going for a Guinness Book of World Records for the number of water baptisms. People end up thinking they are saved, when they are not. What a rude awakening they may have after the Rapture, to see they are still here. It is a shame.
God bless,

The Internet and God
I don’t know how anyone has ever been successful at anything until the Internet came along; not really. How did we accomplish anything without it? For one, I think we believed God a lot more than we do now. All the different ways of marketing on the Internet can be mind boggling and defeating. All the things you supposedly have to do to be successful is overwhelming.
Prayer is still the number one ingredient to success. When I started my first Roofing Company in Whitestone, NY, I din’t have a cell phone or a computer. I came up with a catchy name, Cry Wolfe Roofing and my wife answered the phone when anyone called my number. I returned calls every evening, made appointments when it was convenient and followed through. I built a business based on quality, responsiveness and kindness. I thanked God for every job and I sowed the seed He blessed me with into ministries that promoted His Word.
The second biggest key to success, abundant sharing. Most people go by the word tithing which implies giving 10% of your income to a charity. No matter what you call it, it is a biblical principle that most successful people apply. Giving of your time and money to others is a great principle for success.
People are constantly building their own towers of Babel. The Internet is one such tower. If God’s not in it then it’s all about you. Do you want to be a “self-made man” or Spirit-made?
Blogging Sucks
Who really has time to “blog?” I really don’t think it makes a whole helluva lot of difference how frequently you blog except for the fact that you lose a lot of time when you could be doing something a lot more constructive! People who have time to blog regularly are obviously either very blessed financially or they have nothing better to do with their time.
