The Sabbath of Work
I'm just astounded at the title I just came up with. I thought it was supposed to be the sabbath of rest? Well, that's what this blog entry is all about. Unfortunately for many, rest is not in their thinking, when in reference to the Good News. Part of that good news is doing away with the works of the LAW. Not that the LAW is not Holy (Romans 7:12
), or that it has no value, GOD FORBID (Romans 3:31, Galatians 3:21). But, in all too many cases, it is used unlawfully (1 Timothy 1:8). There are many who believe that the feasts of the Lord are still binding to us today. They won't proclaim that we need to partake of them to be saved, but you have to wonder if they think it. They do claim that they are the appointed times of God, and that we should not ignore God's appointed times for approaching Him, like somehow we can only approach Him on those days.
Keep in mind, while reading this, that it is written in a mindset that is not against doing the sabbath, but against burdening people with the sabbath, or the feasts. When I say burden, I am of course referring to making it a requirement that we must partake in those days as physical days. (Acts 15:1,24)
Put Down Your Bibles
Found at http://blog.thewaycf.com
This is what I have been told lately...
Put down your bible, let me tell you what I feel
Just put that away and you could see something real
You should not try to read it, you will not all agree
It isn't all we have, that is what God told me
Put down your scriptures and we can all just get along
We need to agree, not say who's right or wrong
Put down your bible and take up my word
Vision of the Acid Cloud 1994
Andrew Strom sent this out on his list, so I found where it is on the internet...
VISION OF THE ACID CLOUD - 1994
by Richard Smith.
The following very significant vision was given to a man in England way back in September 1994. Events have so far proved it very accurate indeed. (Source: Integrity Teaching Services, 10 Hyde Park Close, Headingly, Leeds LS6 1SF, United Kingdom).
Please note that this is extremely relevant to the Lakeland revival.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
I have created a special page for this blog entry.My blog is primarily dedicated to believers, and those who profess to know Christ (whether they do or not). I know that the majority of the time, people will find this site, because they are searching for something related to doctrine, or the end times, etc. Usually those are people who "believe" in the saving power of Jesus Christ. However, I believe there are many who read my blog, who are not yet believers. You think to yourself, "What's going on with all this stuff. Is it real? Does this guy really know God? Does he really hear His voice? Does God really love me?". The answer, yes, ABSOLUTELY, to all counts. Please, continue reading...
Freshfire.ca Edits Website to Hide the Truth
This is in relation to this post of ours: Loophole of the Kingdom
Today I was made aware of the fact that the pertinent quotes from that article we posted had gone missing from Todd Bentley's site. In the original teaching, he taught that you could "sow"(buy) the anointing.
Islam vs Christianity
We all know about the hatred that is taught in Islam. The desire to murder and kill everyone, including their own children, mothers, fathers, etc, but especially Christians, Jews, and anyone that wants freedom. The bible says that the LAW was made for such people.
Anyhow, many will also mention that our roots (Christian roots) come from the same sort of background. i.e. One of murder and such. For example, the Israelites were commanded by God to destroy the nations that they inherited, down to the men, women, and children. It sounds like a really horrible thing to do on the surface, and it's difficult for many Christians to explain that our God is a loving God, when there is records of Him commanding the Israelites to do such things. Hopefully, I can shed light on the subject, so that anyone who reads this will have an answer for those that question them.

I wanted to give people an indication of how important the Lakeland revival has been, to "Christian" internet surfers. I posted my first blog entry about Todd Bentley, and emma the angel of light, on March 24th, 2008. I felt very compelled to post it that day, so I just did. Nine days later, the Lakeland "revival" broke out. So, let's see what has happened to my blog hits, since I posted it.
If you view my stats by year/month you will see that there was a MASSIVE increase in views starting in April, and getting even higher in May (as May is not even over yet). If you look at my stats by URL, you will see that the entries related to Todd Bentley have taken the lead, by a very large margin. Furthermore, if you look at my stats by what searches found my blog, you will find that a HUGE percentage of them are about Todd Bentley, or the angel emma. Another thing to note, is that all the "Other phrases" in the searches that have found my blog, are mostly searches for todd or emma as well.
Another thing I have noticed, is that the majority of people that find my blog, in relation to Todd Bentley, and emma, show their support of what I have written. It is rare that someone disagrees. Why is that? The reason is that those who love truth, will search for it. Those who just want a willy-nilly experience, won't go "searching" for truth. They'll just accept every wind of doctrine, and any and every spirit, as if it is truth.
All of this is a good thing. Truth and falsehood should always take a very high position in our walk with God. If we are walking right, we will desire truth, and have a love for truth, and the Spirit of Truth will guide us into all truth (John 16:13).
The Whore of Babylon
Let me share something that my wife had. Which I was very astonished at, because I have never heard of such a blatantly clear revelation on this subject. When I refer to "4given" and her dream, it is posted on Revival School.
She had a dream at 8-10 years old. In the dream, she was in this beautiful city. It was very vibrant with color, and many lights. She was admiring it's beauty, as she walked into a large building. In the building it looked like a bathroom. She opened the first stall, and found a bed. She opened the second, and found the same thing. She did this over and over, finding the same thing over and over. Then suddenly she realized, "This is a whore house". Keep in mind that little girls don't think like this.
Do Miracles Validate a Ministry?
I spoke about Yashua's amazing miracles, and how they were always instant (except once). Now I would like to speak about whether all signs and wonders validate a ministry or a minister. Yashua seems to indicate that the devil cannot fight against his own kingdom, lest it fall, and how you can't cast a demon out by Beelzebub. Let's examine this a littler further.
Loop Hole of the Kingdom
UPDATE: Todd Bentley has removed the quotes below, from his website. This is not indicative of a change in heart, but only a desire to stay out of controversy, so that people will follow him. How do I know this? Because, he's done it before. He removed the name emma from one of his articles, and turned it into an anonymous angel, so that people will not question his experience of receiving a demon as an angel of light. The original can be found here.
I want to show you how people try and make it out to be that there are loop holes in the Kingdom of God. This is primarily about Todd Bentley, and his making merchandise of the body of Christ. We'll also discuss what the Apostles tell us to do about people that do such things.
First off, I want to be honest about what Todd Bentley seems to be doing with his ministry's money. It appears that he does not pay himself a salary. Apparently he makes money of his books, audio/video teachings, etc, which he just happens to sell at his conferences. But, when looking at his ministry taxes, it doesn't appear that he does a whole lot of charitable things, other than pay for his conferences and such. Beyond that, I don't know a whole lot on that issue. Either way, what he teaches, and the spirits which he accepts, are wrong.
