Last night I finally had a chance to do what I love to do...create. I've been wanting to play in my art journal, it's been quite some time. It was nice to finally be inspired to do so. I had no idea where I was going with it, the end result was beautiful, as it turned out to be an invitation to the wedding feast.
John 2:4 ASV — And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
The time has come...
Matthew 22:9-10 ASV — Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
You're invited, it is my hope that you accept...
Matthew 3:2 ASV —
Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
There are many who know things are about to change. The revival of the church has begun as many know Babylon (religion) will fall. These don't belong to a denomination but continue to preach the word of God with love for all. Repenting of sins, loving the sinner while not condoning the sin. In the end, God knows the hearts and those who truly belong to him.
No one can hide from the One who sees all...
Proverbs 28:13 ASV — He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
- Who are the people today called by his name?
2 Chronicles 7:14 ASV — if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
- What are we as believers meant to do?
Mark 6:12 ASV — And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
You are to forgive yourself...
Luke 7:47 ASV — Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
You are to forgive others...
Luke 17:3 ASV — Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
I've recently heard a scholar say that Jehovah is not God's name, this same scholar believes one should also add and remove from scripture because it doesn't make sense to leave it in. Take care of who you listen to. Many have exalted him, relying on his word instead of God's word. Tickling of ears. Same happens with those who exalt their church. What you are doing is idolizing your leaders, that is idolatry.
Many teach that the rapture (being caught up) is going to heaven literally. You might be disappointed to learn that is not so. To be caught up, is to receive the Holy Spirit. That is how Jesus was in heaven while still on earth. When one is caught up (raptured) one does not leave the earth and rise to heaven. This is a false teaching. One receives the Spirit of God.
Because the church doesn't understand this, it doesn't give any the right to add or remove from scripture. Yet, many translators have done this.
Third heaven...
John 3:13 ASV — And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.
Then you have many who are afraid to use the name Jehovah because of the connection to Jehovah's Witnesses.
- What are you afraid of?
- Fear of man, over the love of God?
1 John 4:18 ASV — There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love.
You also have many who call themselves a Christian, yet they like to point the finger and tell other religious groups that they are not Christians because they believe different. Your hatred for other religious groups shines through clearly. You say you do it in love but, pointing the finger and exalting yourself, is not love.
Matthew 7:3 ASV — And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
ALL religions are guilty of this behavior in some way. You've all exalted yourselves. All will learn that you believed in something that was not true, as the truth is revealed at the end, by God, not man.
You are to expose them that know not, by using the Word of God, not your understanding of God's Word...
2 Timothy 4:2-3 ASV — preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;
Letting God guide them...
Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
All will need to repent... regardless of belief.
Many of you claim to have the truth, you are not the truth...
Christ is TRUTH.
John 14:6 ASV — Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
No one knows how to properly say God's name, whether one calls him Jehovah, Yahweh or Jeova', does not matter, what matters is that these are names that are used for the Father. Yes, the Father, not Jesus. If you don't know that, then the Father has not been revealed to you.
One must call on him to be saved...
Joel 2:32 ASV — And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
He will become what he chooses...
If he chooses to be Jehovah, he will be Jehovah, if he chooses to be Yahweh, he will be Yahweh. He will be what he chooses to be, but only to those who repent and avoid sinning.
Exodus 3:14 ASV — And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
He knows the hearts well...
Acts 8:22 ASV — Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.
2 Timothy 2:24-25 ASV — And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,
2 Corinthians 13:5 ESV — Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
For those who teach Christ is in you. You MUST continually test your faith to be certain that is so, if you fail, he is not in you. He will not reveal the Father to you. If you are not holy, God will destroy the temple.
Matthew 11:25, 27 ASV — At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: ... All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ASV — Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
Here's something that stumbles many. You don't let scripture speak for itself. Your wisdom continues to be foolishness. You say Jesus is the Angel (messenger) of the Lord, but then refuse to admit he's an angel (messenger).
Jesus is an angel (messenger)...
Because scripture says so...
Exodus 23:20-21 ASV — Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him.
In the name of Jesus:

[?]Jesus = "Jehovah is salvation"
Ἰησοῦς Iēsoûs, ee-ay-sooce'; of Hebrew origin (H3091); Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites:—Jesus.
Jehoshua:

יְהוֹשׁוּעַ Yᵉhôwshûwaʻ, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah; or יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yᵉhôwshuʻa; from H3068 and H3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader:—Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442.
Angels (messengers) are spirits, Jesus is a spirit above all spirits...
Hebrews 1:4 ASV — having become by so much better than the angels (messengers/spirits), as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
Hebrews 1:13-14 ASV — But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
He's above them because he carries the seal of God... it's in his name.
(As shown above.)
I'll end with this...
Matthew 22:37-40 ASV — And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.
Here's a lesson many of you need to learn. Your faith does not come before love. Without TRUE love for your brother, regardless of who it is or what one believes, your faith means NOTHING. Your faith in God can be based off of a false pretense.
- What then?
- Will you turn away from God?
1 Corinthians 13:2 ASV — And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Guardians of the Tree...
Genesis 3:24 ASV — So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Hebrews 9:5 ASV — and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally.
Those who are in Christ will rise first.
The bride: yes, it's one woman...
Revelation 12:14 ASV — And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Psalm 45:14 ASV — She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.
1 Corinthians 15:20 ASV — But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
2 Corinthians 12:2 ASV — I know a man (human) in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
Ephesians 2:16 ASV — and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
1 Timothy 2:15 ASV — but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
Heaven and Earth testify, they rise up... not the same as caught up or "rapture".
1 Thessalonians 4:16 ASV — For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
They rise up...
Revelation 11:11-12 ASV — And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
The time of the end...
Daniel 12:1 ASV — And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Third woe to come...
2 Thessalonians 2:7 ASV — For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.
Then the seed...
Luke 12:36 ASV — and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 ASV — then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
To be caught up does not mean you will fly into the sky, as many of you teach. It means you will receive the spirit of God, yes, while still here on earth...
Ezekiel 37:12-14 ASV — Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.
Matthew 27:52 ASV — and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;
Revelation 12:17 ASV — And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
Many of you claim to be of God, yet your actions speak differently.
Please REPENT!!!
It is by your faith that you will save those around you.
Many of you also use the excuse that religion is corrupt, you are right, but that is not an excuse for you to continue in sin.
