Podcasts about Absolom

5/18/25 In what has been called a masterclass of manipulation 2 Samuel 14 and 15 goes into the complicated story of a prince named Absolom. This week's message takes a dive into this story of what may have been the most trying time of King David's life. 

We are still taking a break from the “Tale of Two Kings” series, but we do look at David and Absolom, with David as a picture of Christ, and Absolom as a picture of Satan. Please tune in.

My mother passed away a while ago, and her husband wants to put her on a Mormon list to be married eternally. Is that okay? What should we think about channeling and mediums? What about Halloween? And demon possession? Is the church replacing Israel? Is there a second blessing or second portion of the Spirit we receive later? Why did Absolom say he had no successors if he did indeed have children? Is mental illness different from demon possession?

2 Samuel 17-19: David and Absolom Part 3

2 Samuel 13-14:24 David and Absolom pt. 1

At the end of the last episode we saw that the war was over and Absolom was dead. Remember that before the battle, David was willing and wanting to risk his life and lead his troops into battle. He wanted to do this for two reasons, first off, it was what kings did, lead their troops into battle.  And secondly, he hoped that if he could enter the battle it would help save his son Absolom's life.  David's warriors though, especially his commander in chief Joab thought differently. Joab was convinced that David must stay alive for his kingdom to continue.  If he entered the battle and a stray arrow accidentally pierced him he would be dead and Absolom's forces would most assuradly take over and they would crown Absolom as king.  Joab knew that David's life was essential to the cause to keeping his kingdom alive so he knew he could not enter the battle he had to say out but Joab also believed that it was crucial that Absolom be killed. There could not be two kings of Isreal, the rebellion had gone too deep.  Absolum must die and David must be kept safe. Politically it was too late for reconciliation between father and son, Absolom had to die. The truth is this. During this entire affair wtih David he had not acted as a King, he acted as a doating father. This is kind of ridiculous when you look at his reactions.  He did not treat Absolom's rebellion as a rebellion at all.  He treated it like a small minor domestic affair that could be settled with a nice group hug between the patries involved.  He failed to see Absolom's as a traitor, a rebel who has caused tons of a pain, hurt and suffering to David, his family and the entire nation at large. And that is to say nothing for the 20 thousand men who had just died in a fierce battle in the Woods of Effram. The death of Absolom was good news to the Nation of Isreal, it was good news for David the King, but it was the worst kind of news for David the Father.  We remember David's statement from last episode where he said, “Would I had died instead of you Absolom my son, my son.” These were the words of a bereaved and tormented father. The loss of another son, his third son, deeply hurt David and gave him intense sorrow.  Yet he was the king, he could not forget his duty, his responsibility to his people, there had been a huge loss, a huge battle, a rebellion, an insurrection in his own kingdom. It was time for reconciliation, it was time to bring the kingdom back together, it was time to be king, to step up and be the king that all his valiant warriors who had just died had fought for, to be that king.  Much had to be done and a lot of bitterness had to be taken care of.Joab, who had personally killed Absolom, was frustrated with the way David was acting, he did not like it, and in fact he calls out David to his face.  This will be the topic of Pastor Harris's message. Support the Show.

Daily Dose of Hope June 10, 2024 Day 2 of Week 11   Scripture:  Numbers 30-33; Psalm 35; Luke 3   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Bible reading plan.  Let's get right into our Scripture.   Today's passage in Numbers is difficult.  I'm talking especially about chapter 31.  After the Israelites conquer the Midianites, the army returns and Moses gets quite angry at them.  Why?  Because they allowed the women to live.  Now, many of these were the women who had led the Israelite men into sin but still, these guys had minds of their own too.  And then there were the children.  The boys were killed and the young girls were saved, presumably to be slaves or concubines.  This is all very, very hard to swallow.  What is going on here?  This doesn't seem to be consistent with the character of God.    I have to lean into Isaiah 55:8, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.  God had a reason for dealing with the Midianites the way he did.  We know that God said he would have vengeance against the people of Midian.  They were evil in God's eyes.  They worshipped many gods and engaged in some pretty horrible rituals to those gods, include child sacrifice and temple prostitution.  They were a violent people with no moral compass.   That being said, the passage is still troubling and raises questions within me that I can't answer.  But when we find ourselves in a place like this, we are left at a crossroads:  we can either call God to account based on our twenty-first century human understandings OR we acknowledge our limited grasp of God and his purpose and plan for people.  I have intentionally chosen the latter.  I am a mere human with my limited understanding and doubts.  Yet, God has never failed me, even if there are times I simply don't understand.  I have chosen to trust God and not get too preoccupied with some passages in Numbers when I have a whole Bible to learn and understand.  Remember, we have to always look at the whole narrative of Scripture and not get too worked up over a passage.  I hope that offers some help and didn't muddy the waters too much. Psalm 35 is another Psalm of David.  In it, King David is detailing the sins of his enemies and asking God to conquer them.  There is a desperation to his words.  While this psalm isn't connected to a specific instance in David's life, there were certainly several times in which David could have potentially written it, including when Saul was after him or when Absolom wanted him dead.  I think it's normal to want revenge against one's enemies but on the other side of the cross, we have different marching orders.  Jesus was pretty clear about loving one's enemies, something pretty revolutionary at the time.  Think about Paul's letter to Romans 12:17-21, Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. With that, let's move on to our New Testament passage for today, Luke 3.  This text, when John baptizes Jesus, marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry.  This call to ministry was accompanied by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and confirmed by God's voice from heaven.  It is a beautiful picture of the Trinity.  What's interesting and even a bit puzzling about this scene is that John's baptism was one of repentance.  It was for sinners to come, repent, and be cleansed.  But Jesus was sinless.  He had no need of a sinner's baptism.  And yet, he chose to go through the ritual.  Jesus sought to identify with the people he came to save.   Some of you will recall talking about the incarnation during Advent, as we prepare for Christmas.  Incarnation is a churchy word that refers to God coming to earth to become a human being. It's in the incarnation that Jesus becomes one of us.  Jesus goes to the people, identifies with them, and gives them a real-life demonstration of who God is and how much God loves them. The baptism was simply the beginning.    Please be sure to read through all of chapter 3.  It's worth spending some time reflecting on John the Baptist's ministry as he prepares the way for his cousin, Jesus.  What must that have been like for John?  The chapter closes with a genealogy of Jesus.  Take a moment and read through this genealogy again, as well as the genealogy in Matthew 1.  What are the similarities and differences?  How does each author go about telling the story of Jesus' family?    Just a reminder, tomorrow through the end of this week, you will be hearing Pastor Roberto's voice.  He is brilliant and I can't wait to hear his take on the end of Numbers and the beginning of the book of Deuteronomy.    Blessings to all of you, Pastor Vicki  

Welcome to the Relational Grace Podcast where we share the teachings of Pastor Nick Harris who taught us that Christianity is not a religion; it's a relationship. I'm your host Jamie Russell, Pastor Harris's son.Last episode Pastor Harris talked about Absalom, Son of David, as he made his plans for a coup d'etat against his very own father.  He left Jerusalem making his home in Hebron, which was the first capital city of David. Apparently David found nothing curious about this, he had no suspicion as to Absalom's move.  He was totally unaware when the coup erupted. This seems really odd, as it takes a great deal of time organizing a revolt, in fact, Absolom may have spent as much as four years time planning it and yet David had not the smallest inkling of an idea that he was planning it. Absalom was extremely shrewd in his dealing with the revolt. Somehow Absalom had begun to win all the hearts of the people of Israel. He had somehow made them think that a man who had just taken revenge on his brother and had killed him was a man devoted to justice. He seemed to convince people that words were more profitable than actions.  He was even able to lure 200 of Jerusalem's best citizens to Hebron to join him. Therefore cunning and deceit seemed to be some of his best qualities. He used them many times in his dealings leading up to the revolt and during the revolt.  He used them to induce the majority of the men of Israel to turn against his very own father, their great King David.  Even David's own tribe of Judah was ready to abandon David and follow Absalom.  This man was capable of much.  For this reason and many others, he proves though that he was not fit to be king of God's chosen Nation.  But his father does not come out of the story looking that great either.  In fact, he gets had by his own son who was able to pull the rug right out from under him without even seeing it.  He didn't smell the revolt for the four long years that his son was in Hebron. So David does not look that great either, in fact he looks quite complacent. For this reason it looks like he was out of touch; it left room for Absolom to come in and steal their hearts. A big lesson learned here is this: It  is essential for good leaders to remain in touch with the people of their nation. All this said, neither David nor his son were the most ideal leaders.  But at least David was a man after God's own heart and he showed this when Jerusalem was about to be laid under siege he fled and protected it.  And Absalom, as Pastor Harris will demonstrate, cared nothing for people, he did not care how many people died as long as he remained in power.So let's jump into the seventeenth episode of The Saga of David series, titled, “David's Sons Revolt”.Support the show

Actor Ray Liotta was coming off crtitical acclaim for his star making turn in Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas and was looking for a vehicle that would turn him into a bonafide movie star.  For others that path was paved by action movies so Liotta signed on to 1994's No Escape hoping it would catapult him to international acclaim.  As the stoic, brooding J. T. Robbins, Liotta was able to not only show brawn, but also brains as he attempts to escape the island penal colony of Absolom and it's violent de facto leader Marek played by Stuart Wilson.  The film also boasts Ernie Hudson, Kevin Dillon, Kevin J. O'Connor and Lance Henriksen. Dan and Vicky discuss the actioner along with some recently seen movie and TV shows like Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, Beyonce's Renaissance, The Holdovers and Hulu's The Bear.

Psalm 124 is the fifth of the “Assent Songs” and the second that is ascribed to be written by David. Remember the contempt and ridicule of Psalm 123? It has now been mixed with anger (v. 3) and become open hostility in Psalm 124. There are several occasions as to when David might have written it. After he was anointed king, it wasn't long till Saul was trying to set traps and kill him. Or possibly, shortly after he became king, the Philistines attack Israel. Or even later when his son Absolom rose up against him. In each situation the LORD gave him deliverance and this psalm may have been his song of thanksgiving to the Lord. Some believe that Hezekiah might have used this psalm when he was attacked by the Assyrians, but God sent an angel that killed over 180,000 enemy soldiers in one night and gave deliverance. It might have been used again later when Nehemiah and the people were repairing the walls and gates of Jerusalem, the surrounding nations ridiculed them (Neh. 2:19-20; 4:1-5) and then threatened to attack them (Neh. 4:7-23). Nehemiah's words "Our God will fight for us" (Neh. 4:20) remind us of 124:1-2 and 8. We may not have entire nations and armies opposing us, but we do face emergencies that are more than we can handle. That is when we turn to the Lord for help, because He is on our side and helps us with these emergencies. In verses 1-2, we see the sudden attack of the enemy. The phrase "rose up" gives the image of a sudden ambush, a sneak attack that might have defeated Israel, except the Lord was on their side. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31). Our enemy Satan does not give advance warning of his attacks; therefore, we must be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8), put on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10-18), and be alert in our praying. God promised His chosen people that He would curse those who cursed them (Gen. 12:3), and He has kept that promise. If we are walking with the Lord, we need not feel unprepared for the enemy's sudden attacks. Next in verses 3-5, the enemy is pictured as a great flood overwhelming Israel. Here is a situation where we stand helpless as the problem gets worse and worse. The psalmist feared that the raging waters of persecution would sweep over him and his people and that they would be swallowed up forever. Jeremiah pictured the Babylonian captivity of Israel as Nebuchadnezzar swallowing the nation (Jer. 51:34, 44). But if the Lord is on our side, He will provide a way of escape. In verse 6, the enemy is pictured as a beast which is often a biblical picture of persecution. There are twelve words in the Hebrew language for lions, which indicates that the Jewish people in that day took wild beasts seriously. Jeremiah compared Babylon to a lion (Jer. 4:7; 51:38), and Peter compared Satan to a prowling lion (1 Peter 5:8). Like a cunning animal, Satan stalks us and waits until we have relaxed our guard, and then he pounces. But the Lord is stronger than Satan, and if we are abiding in Him, we can win the victory.   Finally in verses 7-8, the enemy is pictured laying a hidden trap. We must use the Word of God to throw light on our path so we can detect and avoid the devil's traps (Psalm 119:105; 91:1-3; 1 Tim. 3:7; 6:9; 2 Tim. 2:24-26). The picture is that of a helpless bird who walked into the trap in order to eat the food. Satan always has fascinating bait to offer. The Lord may allow us to fall into a trap, but nobody can keep us when He wants us to be free. The Lord not only opened the trap but broke it so it cannot be used again! The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has broken the dominion of sin and death, and we can walk in freedom through Jesus Christ. Praise God, we don't need to fear! We are not helpless! Because "Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth" (v. 8). And He is on our side! God bless!

This week on Toilet Radio: We're wrapping up loose threads on our quest to get to the bottom of insidious global conspiracies. We started this last week but we had no idea just how deep the rabbit hole would go. This time around we spend a good chunk of time hearing out Son of Liberty, Jon Schaffer's ramblings about a conspiracy to create the Federal Reserve from a shadowy meeting at Jeckyll Island. Ol' Jonny's got some wild ideas about what constitutes slavery in a country that literally practiced slavery. BUT ALSO, we're getting learned about Remote Viewing, thanks to Cephalic Carnage which was entirely new to us. The HAARP Machine go off on a conspiracy regarding avian flu in a quaint time before COVID, and bands like Absolom, Exarsis, and Kremlin go off on literally every conspiracy theory there is.

To kick off a new year of Talking Scared, I've gone and hooked us a big guest, with a whopper of a story. John Langan is the author of The Fisherman. It's one of the great works of supernatural fiction written this century, but its story doesn't end at its back-cover. The strange mythology of The Fisherman extends beyond, swimming further downstream, to pop its monstrous head above the surface in John's wider universe of short stories and novellas. In this special episode, we talk at length about The Fisherman – about the classic books, real-world legends and cultural beliefs that inspired it, and about the process of building a  whole new mythos. John is the poet-scholar of horror. This is the class you wish you'd taken in college.  Enjoy! Other books mentioned: House of Windows (2009), by John Langan“Mother of Stone”, in The Wide Carnivorous Sky and Other Monstrous Geographies (2013), by John Langan“Bor Urus”, in Sefira and Other Betrayals (2019), by John LanganOur Share of Night (2023), by Mariana EnriquezThe Croning (2012), by Laird BarronThe Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All (2013), by Laird BarronPet Sematary (1983), by Stephen King“The Monkey's Paw” (1902), by W.

Alex and I had a great time reviewing the Jesus Revolution and the part Hope Chapel played in it.It was what historians call a spiritual awakening. I only realized that as it ended. Until then my peer group mostly thought we were smarter than those who had preceded us.It couldn't be called just a revival as it wasn't about reviving a dying church but effected a transformation in the outside culture. One of the early earmarks of the movement was the presence of miracles. Mostly we saw people delivered from the grip of hard drugs without counseling or treatment. But there were healings, events involving protection from fires and extreme weather, and of course healings.The Jesus Revolution movie is worth watching as it catches much of what the Spirit was doing. However, it would need to be a prolonged series to fully depict those exciting times.After others view the film I get asked, "Did those things really happen?" The answer is that those things did happen but in a larger sense than could be depicted on film. The baptisms were bigger. The miracles were everyday events. Chuck Smith was a great Bible teacher going into it and Lonnie Frisbee was no rebel but had a supernatural anointing that caused some leaders discomfort.I hope the talk Alex initiated will strengthen you in your own hunger for more from God.For more from Alex check his website at dandelionresourcing.com.

But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.' On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.” - 2 Samuel 18:12-13   This Episode's Links and Timestamps: 00:24 – 2 Samuel 18 06:13 – On Culture War, Doug Wilson, and the Moscow Mood – Kevin DeYoung, Clearly Reformed 1:23:39 - Thoughts on the Reading --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garrett-ashley-mullet/message

Trials of Faith Prepare Us For Battle (2)  (audio) David Eells - 10/22/23  The Desert Shed  Anonymous 4/20/23 (David's notes in red)    I dreamed that I was given an opportunity to go stay at an Airbnb for a few weeks for free, and I was going to spend that time fasting and focusing 100% on God to get closer to Him. (It is good to fast from the world and the flesh to seek God. An Airbnb represents trusting in the heavenly provision for food and covering.)  I wasn't sure where the Airbnb was because someone took care of all the details and paid for it so it was free for me. (This is a spiritual place where Jesus paid for everything and has taken care of every detail of our lives with His life.) I had to go on a small private plane (representing being led into the wilderness through heavenly places in Christ.) to get there, and the plane flew into a desert (wilderness) where there was literally no one else. (It is our individual fellowship with the Lord like a feast of individual tabernacles.) There were barely any trees and the dirt was a bright orange color. (The dirt represents the flesh and its bright orange because of the burning heat of the sun/Son in the fiery trials of the wilderness.)   As we flew further out into the barren desert, I started feeling God's presence stronger and stronger; I assume it was because it's more into God's creation and there are less spirits out there. (When we go into the wilderness, that's where the Lord reveals Himself to each of us personally. The desert is where we learn to trust and be dependent on God only. Moses (a type of the Man-child) fled Egypt into the desert and was there 40 years (1st time), which was his tribulation before he was qualified to lead the Israelites through the desert (2nd time) for another 40 years. Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert where He was tempted by satan, and He spent much time alone in the desert mountains fasting and praying. The apostle Paul received the revelation of Jesus Christ and the Gospel from the Lord while he was alone in Arabia.)  As I was looking down, my flesh had slight fear of how strong God's presence was and I knew that the old man was dying just by being here and the Holy Spirit was rising. Pro 9:10 The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Psa 119:120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; And I am afraid of thy judgments.  The plane landed in the desert area next to a silver shed. (The silver shed represents our spiritual tabernacle in the wilderness. Silver is the refining and purifying away of the dross (flesh). Pro 17:3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But Jehovah trieth the hearts. Psa 12:6 The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.)   There was a small old-looking house not far from the shed that looked abandoned. (The small old, abandoned house represents our old carnal life which we gave up to follow the Lord into our spiritual wilderness.) I got out, and the pilot said he would pick me up in a few weeks, and he went back into the air, and I went and walked around the shed. There was no internet service for reception (no worldly electronic distractions) and no way to get help from man or self-works. The Airbnb was a large open plain shed without a door. (The veil has been torn by what Jesus did at the cross so we can come directly into the presence of our Father in the Holy of Holies.)   Inside, it had a table with chairs, (to partake of the Table of the Lord) there was a small room with a door, and inside to the right there was a bed. (to enter the rest) Located outside the shed was an outdoor shower and toilet. (This represents cleansing our soul of the defilements of flesh and spirit; our sanctification. It is done outside because nothing unclean can come into the Holy of Holies.)   Although there wasn't much there, I was completely satisfied. (The soul is satisfied and sustained with the Word in the presence of the Lord. Isa 58:11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.) This is a place in the wilderness with no distractions of the world. (Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (3 ½ years)  I explored the area and found that there was a cliff edge over the ocean and the land was so very high up. (This represents Mt. Zion and the promised land high above the ocean representing the peoples tribes etc..) The temperatures were not as hot as I was expecting but it was still warm with a nice breeze. (When we go willingly into our own wilderness to let the Lord do His refining work in us, the trials are not as hot as they could be if we resist what God wants to do in our sanctification process. 2Co 12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.)   I spent the time here growing closer to the Lord and staying here was a big help to crucify my flesh spiritually and physically.      Saved From Leviathan  Marie Kelton 7/10/23 (David's notes in red)  During the meeting I had an open vision of a desert place. (The wilderness) I saw a stone or concrete slide that was next to a small body of water. The water was a turquoise color. (Turquoise is a blue-green color and often associated with “waters of the Caribbean.” These waters appear very clear and blue because they are shallow, and there is a lack of Plankton, which are a crucial source of food in the sea. These waters could represent taking a vacation, which the world does. It represents a distraction from the daily grind.  But the Body of Christ should stay focused on eating the Word of God and continuing to serve the Lord.) I saw my spirit man get on a slide and slide into the water. When my spirit man went into the water, it was very deep. In the water was a huge, long black creature; I knew it was Leviathan.  Leviathan (the serpent) swam around my spirit man, like it was about to attack her. My spirit reached up like she was trying to escape. I then saw the hand of Lord come down and pull my spirit man out of the water and placed her on the land that was on the other side of the body of water. (Psa 18:16-17 He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters. 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me. Psa 31:8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place. Psa 94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.)  My spirit man then turned toward the desert with her back toward the body of water. (I knew that meant that I had to continue to walk through the wilderness.) (We should not entertain vacations from the wilderness training grounds for the promised land is where that leads.)  I asked the Lord what the body of water was, the Leviathan was in. I heard Him say, "Waters of deception." (These are fleshly appealing luxuries we cannot afford if we want to win the race.)  Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. Col 2:4 This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.  The Lord will destroy the old serpent when He's done tempting us. Psa 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. (Babylon is being plundered to build the Kingdom.) Isa 27:1 In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.)      Light Track  Samuel Fire 1/11/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw a tall mountain (Mt Zion) from a distance. Then I saw many people making a journey to the top. (Many people start out with us on the Way to holiness and maturity.) However, most of the people took different paths to get there. Some did follow the same parts of another's path but took diversions and added length and time to the journey. (We are to follow Jesus and keep His ways, not turning to the left or the right. When we try to go another way, it takes more time and effort, and if we are diverted we have to start over. The Israelites' journey through the wilderness could have been a very short journey to the Promised Land but sin, rebellion and unbelief made it longer and some died there.) Deu 5:32-33 Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.  I then saw who resembled to be the Lord Jesus at the very peak and there was a path He made for them to follow along the mountain. (The Lord leads us up to high places; He is calling many to come and follow Him.) (Isa 30:21 and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Psa 23:1-3 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.) Psa 5:8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face. Pro 8:20 I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;  It seemed that each of the people making the trek up the mountain had a map and some ignored it, and some followed as close as possible. (The Word of God (Jesus) is our map. When Jesus called His disciples, He said, “Follow Me” and “I am the way”. Some follow Jesus closely and others ignore what God has said.) Joh 1:1 In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life:…  (Psa 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. Psa 43:3 Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me: Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, And to thy tabernacles. Pro 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life)  It felt that all these people making the journey to the top are brethren with different trials and types of life (And different callings), that's why there were different paths. NENT Eph 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the world's foundation, that we be holy and without blemish before him in love: Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.  Then I saw in another vision, individual light rays coming from a lightbulb, illuminating a room. All the light rays travelled outwardly separately and independent of one another and filled the room with the light source. (The source of Light that filled the room is the Lord Jesus, and the room represents each individual who make up the one Body of Christ.) Joh 8:12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.  (Joh 12:36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. 2Co 4:6 Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.)  NENT Rom 12:4-5 For even as we have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office: 5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.  Then I saw how if the direction of the light rays were to return to the source, the quickest path is to go directly in a straight path. But each ray was never in the same spot as another, and none would reach the source if being diverted or blocked. (Jesus said His words are spirit and life and our born-again spirit returns to the Lord.)   (Joh 3:13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven. Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.  Ecc 12:7 and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.) Isa 40:3 The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. Psa 107:7 He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.      Seeking In Secret  Anonymous 12/17/22 (David's notes in red)    I heard in prayer and The Lord spoke:  He said, “Shut out everything.” (Close off all distractions, the enemy always uses everything he can to distract us from seeking God's presence and to distract us from staying in God's rest.) (Seeking His will through the trials is a test of Faith and devotion to the Word. Just as Job gave acknowledgement and glory to God during his trials. Job 1:8 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.)  He said, “Prayer closet.” (Dedicate more of your time to God and His Spirit, not the flesh.) (“You have not because you ask not.” Being intimate with God in prayer has eternal rewards. Distractions will try to steal this time with God.)  He said, “Have patience.” (Knowing that your prayers will be answered in His perfect time.)  Jas 1:3-4  knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.  4  And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. Rom 5:3-5 And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness; 4 and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope: 5 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. (“He that endureth to the end shall be saved.”)  He said, “Speak out when you can see the enemy attack, call out to Me.” (Alert the Saints and respond to duty. God sends these tests to cause us to get in line with His Word so the enemy has no advantage.) (There is safety in numbers because some brethren may have overcome some specifics that we have not encountered. It is not only Christ in you, but in your brothers and sisters too.)  He said, “Turn up the heat, get into deep, fervent and desperate prayer!” (“The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.” “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”) He said, “Laugh the enemy to scorn for he does this all the time.” (Calling out the enemy's bluff and stay in the resolve of Jesus and the truth of the Word.) (The majority of trials are enemy lies, or a twisted truth to deceive. Symptoms, curses and afflictions – never last. Only Jesus is the everlasting!)  He said, “That test is to turn it all back for what it is.” (Refute and retake the stolen things back from the enemy.) (Act 3:20-21 and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:  21  whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old.) He said, “In humility give all gratefulness that nothing is done for you or to you, unless I allow it.” (Praise God in all things, praise Him for He is in control, and we can trust Him only.) (Psa 149:6-9 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;  7  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;  8  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;  9  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.)  He said, “Seek Me in fear and gladness for everything.” He said, “Bring the life of Christ into the open.” (Reveal the greatest of things for all to experience.) (Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.)  He said, “Love all and be showing the example of Him.” (God through us to others.) (Rom 13:8 ASV  Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.)  He said, “See that nothing is allowed into Me unless passes the test of being in the image of My Son.” (Nothing of self or evil can ever imitate.) (A final result of our trials is more of Christ revealed. “Christ in you the hope of glory.”)  He said, “As you look to Me by the Word and heart, you can see I look through all things.” (There is nothing that can be hidden from God.) (Only the wicked do not believe He sees all and will do anything about it.)   He said, “When you see that you need Me in everything and when you are that desperate, you can see Me in others too.” (Everyone is in dire need for more of the Lord Jesus and His salvation.)  He said, “Pray in tongues and write down interpretation you get.” (Exercising the gifts to be trained and gain experience.)  He said, “Seeking the Lord in servitude and want.” (Nothing for selfish gain) (But to serve the Kingdom.) He said, “Draw close to Him” (Honestly and sincerely prefer The Lord as priority always.) (Talk to Him for He desires our fellowship.) He said, “Fan the flames that burn the traps and attacks.” (Nothing can withhold you when the fire of the Lord burns everything evil. Praise and worship engulfs the evil.)  He said, “Add to the fire the fuel of the Word and continue to add each verse in thought as it burns.” (Keep the fire burning with explosive power)  He said, “The light shines as the flames burn brighter in the zeal and desire of the Father.” (Love burns so hot, it eliminates all darkness.)  (Return us Lord into Your wonderful garden and keep us hedged around and protected from all evil, under Your wings, in Your promises.)     The Fiery Trial to Overcome the Flesh  David Eells   You know, we have to make decisions. Every day we're faced with a decision. If you decide the easy way, which is the flesh way, then you say, “Okay, devil, you can rule over this flesh.” That's what you're really saying. Of course, we can see it across the country, too – people who are so-called Christians rising up against the government and actually being used of the enemy who is going to invade this country. But God said, My power is made perfect in weakness (2Co.12:9). (9) And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (10) Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.   We need to see how the power of God comes to those who will enter into weakness of self. The commands, many of the principles, but also the commands of God, are to put us into a position of weakness. If you obey the commands of Christ, you will be weak and you'll cease from your works. You will not be able to handle the situation yourself. You will have to trust in God to do it, if you obey His commands. (2Co.13:4) For he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you. Weakness brings the power of God.   Weakness brings crucifixion in the flesh, but it also brings the power of God to bring resurrection. Resurrection life is what we've all wanted from God, but many times we won't pay the price for it. We ask God for the fruit of Jesus to live in us, but before you can have the fruit, you have to give up the lust. The two war against one another, they seek to occupy the same territory in your life. They can't both live together. The lust must be crucified in order for the new man to live in you and for the fruit to be borne. Anger and forgiveness can't be in the same place. You can do one or you can do the other, but you won't do both.   Christ was crucified through weakness. He obeyed God's word to Him. As a matter of fact, it appears to be a command to Him and He passed on that command to us. To me, it's one the most important commands in all of the Scriptures for those who want to bring forth fruit. (Isa.50:5) The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward. (6) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (7) For the Lord God will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.   You'll recognize this as a prophecy about Jesus. But His ears were open to the Lord's command and His command to Jesus was that He was to give His back to the smiters and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. That command has been passed on to us. It wasn't a request; it was a command. (Mat.5:38) Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (39) but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (40) And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.   (41) And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. (42) Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. The reason I say that this is such an important command of Jesus is because of our human nature. The lusts of the flesh rise up against a person who wants to obey these Scriptures. You can imagine in your mind turning the other cheek, either in word or in deed or in action of some kind, and you know what kind of lusts rise up inside of you when you try to do this.   There's a war that goes on inside you when you do this. Jesus fought that war. (Gal.5:19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these:] fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) idolatry, sorcery (from here on you can identify these as having to do with this command), enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, (21) envyings (maybe some of these don't apply so much), drunkenness, revelings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. These things must be put to death.   You know, the Lord has given us a method to put these works of the flesh to death. He spoke to me one time and He said, “You don't get resurrection life before you get death.” That was at a time I was trying to bring some people into resurrection life and they weren't entering into the death part. If you want fruit, these lusts have to die. They have to die on this side of Heaven. That's the purpose of God. God's grace delivers from sin; it doesn't just cover sin. Yes, it's wonderful that it covers sin, but that's just for the meantime so that you can have fellowship with God until you manifest its full deliverance. Jesus came to do away, to destroy the works of the devil and that's what we're talking about here. Most of these lusts are affected by just one command of Jesus and they're put to death by obedience to just one command of Jesus, and that is, “Resist not him that is evil.” It's one of the most important and most neglected doctrines in all of the Scriptures. This regards bearing our cross of death to self. We are to resist the Devil and to defend the weak.  Let's read on. (Gal.5:22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. (24) And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. Well, the Lord said that we had to take up our cross and follow Him as in Matthew 16:24. We just saw that “he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God” (2Co.13:4).   If we're going to enter into the resurrection life of Jesus in the earth, we have to enter into this death. We have to take up our cross. I don't think many people realize that Jesus always bore a cross. It wasn't just at the end of His life. He bore a cross His whole life by denial of self. He “hath been in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin” (Heb.4:15). And “each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed” (Jas.1:14). Jesus was “of the seed of David according to the flesh” (Rom.1:3).   I know a lot of people don't believe that, but I'm just quoting what the Bible says. According to the Spirit, He was the Son of God (Romans 1:4), but according to the flesh, He was of the seed of David. You know what? He was tempted. That flesh Jesus had was real flesh. He was a great God because He came down in the likeness of sinful flesh and overcame sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3).   But He bore a cross all of His life and that cross was to deny self, to deny the old man to live through Him. He wouldn't permit the lusts of the flesh to speak or to live through Him. And we have to take up our cross and follow Him or we cannot be His disciple. Taking up our cross is to walk as He walked. We probably won't be called upon to bear the physical cross of Jesus, but we're definitely called upon to bear this spiritual cross that He always bore as to the denying of self.   The commands of Jesus put you in a position of weakness. If you obey them, your flesh is going to squirm and it's going to writhe and it's going to try to rise up on the inside of you. It's going to tell you, “No, don't believe that doctrine,” but it's just too prevalent, too common in the Scriptures to deny it. Jesus said, “resist not him that is evil” (Mat.5:39). I tell you, your flesh rises up on the inside of you and it says, “No, no, no! Hit back, talk back, do something, get even!” That flesh just doesn't want to die. It's a crucifixion.   You can always tell when the flesh is in trouble because it squeals like a stuck pig. If you don't ever go against it, you don't ever hear it squeal, but I can tell you that the commands of Jesus are going to put you at variance with the flesh. They're going to cause the flesh to be seen by you very plainly. It's easy, before you read the Scriptures, to think you're doing pretty well, that everything's alright. Then you start reading the Scriptures and you see commands like this and, if you start to obey them, you'll find out what lives in you. You'll find out what's way down inside of you when it shows its ugly head and when you go against it, that's where the power of God takes over.   We want the fruit of the Spirit, but before the fruit of the Spirit comes the crucifixion of the lusts. Jesus taught us. He was an example to us. A lot of people think He was an example so that we wouldn't have to die. No, Jesus didn't die so that we wouldn't have to die. Jesus died so that we could die. I'm talking about dying spiritually, dying to self, not about dying physically, but dying to self. He died to make it possible for us to die.   Those who refuse to take up their cross and follow Him, those who refuse to obey His commands, are refusing to be disciples. It doesn't matter that they call themselves Christians. I want to show you that Jesus turned the other cheek, but He did it as an example to us. When Jesus was before Pilate and the Sanhedrin He resisted not the evil. He did turn the other cheek.  (Mat 27:12-13 ASV  And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.  13  Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?)  He had the power to say “No” to the flesh. He had more power than the disciples understood He had because they thought they were going to save Him with the sword.   (Mat.26:52) Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. He said, “Don't you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels (Matthew 26:53)?” Look, Jesus had power they didn't know of to keep from going to the cross. He didn't have to resort to man's arm of the flesh. One angel in the Old Testament killed 185,000 men in 2 Kings 19:35, and Jesus is talking about calling 72,000 angels here. That's power! Christians need to realize that their power is not in the arm of the flesh. Their power is in the Kingdom of Heaven, but that power shouldn't be used when you're going to the cross. That power should be used to fulfill God's Will.   In the very next verse after Jesus said, “Don't you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” He said, “how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be” (Mat.26:54)? We want the Scriptures to be fulfilled in us, which is the manifestation of Christ; however, they won't be fulfilled, if you refuse to go to your cross. Just as Jesus had a free will and He could have called the 12 legions of angels, we have a free will and we could, in many cases, walk away from our cross. But that doesn't mean we won't be faced with it again. We will be faced with it again and again because God is merciful. And we'll be faced with it until we get it right or just run out of time because we are running out of time.   We've been put here to bear fruit and we've been given a certain amount of time to do that. There's a door closing on the other end of this life. My wife saw a vision like that, on a treadmill. The door ahead was closing. We had to run faster and faster in order to get through the door before it closed. The treadmill was imperceptibly picking up speed going in the opposite direction and we had to run faster and faster. That's the way the world is. The world is picking up speed going in the opposite direction, but there's a door closing.   We're running a race but, let me say, this is not a race against one another; this is a race against time. There's a door closing. You have to bear fruit or else you'll be called what the Scripture and Jesus called an “unprofitable servant” cast forth into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). There's no such thing as bearing fruit without the cross. I'm going to point out just a few of Jesus' commands and show you that when you obey them, they put you in a position of weakness. You cannot defend yourself. You cannot hit back. You cannot do any of the things that your flesh wants because, if you do, your flesh will live and it will get stronger.   (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh (in other words, if you walk in submission to the flesh), ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. We want the new man to live and there's only one way that can happen – the old man has to die. They live in the same house. The spiritual man was supposed to go into the Promised Land and kill that enemy and live in his house and we are, in one parallel, that promised land. That spiritual man is Christ in us and He's the spiritual man in every one of us Who seeks to take over this vessel.   (1Pe.2:18) Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (19) For this is acceptable (the literal translation is actually “grace”), For this is grace, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. Grace? That's right. God sends us through grace down here on this earth. Sometimes we don't look on it as grace, but it's wrongful suffering. He calls it grace. That's the original word there. We have to go through suffering. (Act.14:22) … Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.   We must go through suffering because the flesh doesn't die without suffering. If you're not suffering, then you're not ceasing from sin. Peter said, He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin (1Pe.4:1). That's because when you're suffering, when the flesh is suffering – and I'm talking about that entity of the old man in you, the mind of the flesh in you – when that old man is suffering, it means that he's not getting his way. I'm not talking about this physical flesh suffering, you understand. I'm talking about that entity that lives in us that wants to gratify self. If he's not suffering, you're not bearing the cross; you're not obeying the commands of Jesus.   So Peter called it “grace” here. (1Pe.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it,] ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it,] ye shall take it patiently, this is grace with God. The last thing we want is to do right and to have wrong done to us in return. We want justice. We want our rights. The flesh demands its rights, but the flesh is a dead man. We reckon the old man to be dead unto sin (Romans 6:11) and dead men don't demand rights. Dead men don't have rights. You can slap them on one cheek and they'll turn the other one every time. That's the way Jesus commanded us.   If you want that old man to die, then don't feed him. Just don't obey him and he'll die. This is grace with God. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called…. We were called to suffer wrongfully, to suffer in what the world would call “wrongfully.” In other words, we're called to suffer when we do right. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously.  But when we are called to defend the flock from wolves we should point out their sin as was done in scripture. In other words, Jesus left judgment, wrath and payback in the hands of God, concerning self. Peter said Jesus left this example to us so that we should follow in His steps. Every day we're going to have an opportunity to do this. There's just no way you could live in this life without having an opportunity to do this. Don't waste your time. Redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16), the Scripture says. This is what we're here for. Suffering is one of God's greatest methods, to put to death your flesh so that Christ can live in you.   (1Pe.3:13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? (14) But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; (15) but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: (16) having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.   (17) For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. (18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. We can see a spiritual type there in the life of Christ. When he resisted not the evil, he was put to death in the flesh, but he was made alive in the spirit. This is a spiritual type for us because, if we want to be made alive in the spirit, we must be put to death in the flesh. (1Pe.4:14) If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye;] because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.   (15) For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters: but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. (17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? (19) Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God (That doesn't fit the prosperity doctrine very well, does it?) commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. Commit your soul unto a faithful creator.   Jesus obeyed His own command in Matthew 5:39 and He was crucified for it. I can imagine several places where He could have interjected just a little bit of truth and totally turned the situation around, such as when He talked about, “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (Joh.2:19). Of course, he spake of the temple of his body (21), but that's not what was brought out at the trial by the Sanhedrin and I never saw Him even objecting to it, though He knew what He was meaning. He didn't bother to stick up for Himself.  There's one person from the Old Testament who really impressed me with his understanding of not resisting him that is evil and that's David. He obeyed this. I've seen probably a half-dozen to a dozen good examples of where David obeyed this doctrine. He seemed to be way ahead of his time in an understanding of what it was that pleased God. He seemed to be almost walking in New Testament revelation in some areas of this resisting not evil and it definitely bore fruit in his soul.   (Psa.38:12) They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me,] And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long. (13) But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. (14) Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. (15) For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. David put his trust in God to bring about justice, just as the Lord did (1 Peter 2:23), and not with his own tongue, nor in his own strength. In fact, as we read on here, you'll see that David knew and understood God's purpose.   You know, it's a fiery trial when you resist not the evil, no matter what form it is. This so-called righteous indignation rises up on the inside of you wanting justice, but listen, folks, we can't afford justice. Nobody reading this can afford justice. We want mercy. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful (Psa.18:25). If you get justice, you're in trouble. Did you know that? God gives justice to some and He gives mercy to others (Romans 9:21-23). Christians get mercy. The world doesn't always get mercy. But, I'll tell you what, the only thing we better show to the world is mercy because God's going to be merciful and forgiving to those who are merciful and forgiving. And to those who are not merciful, He's going to give justice. Mat 18:34-35 ASV  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due.  35  So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not everyone his brother from your hearts. Justice is not what we can afford.   Everybody doesn't even get a revelation of God in this world, but they get justice because every man is going to reap what he sows (Galatians 6:7). People ask, “What do you do with the wicked who never hear the name of Christ?” No problem. They're going to get justice being judged by their own conscience. Everybody in this world is going to at least get justice, but the Christians, the true Christians, are going to get mercy and grace.   God's not doing wrong by doing that because He's at the very least giving justice to people. But we better pray that we don't get justice because that means we'll pay for what we've done and what we are doing that is wrong. David understood this and Jesus understood this. So David says, “for I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me” (Psa.38:16). (17) For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. (18) For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.   (19) But mine enemies are lively, [and] are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. (20) They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good. (21) Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. (22) Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. (39:1) I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me. (2) I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. (3) My heart was hot within me; While I was musing the fire burned; [Then] spake I with my tongue: (4) Lord, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me to know how frail I am.   You know, when David resisted not the evil, when he kept his mouth shut when he was really being pressured to speak up, he said the fire burned in him. Have you ever felt that fire? I have. It's just like a real fire burning in you. It's a fiery trial that's come to prove you and to burn up the wood, hay and stubble.  You know, we've been told that the fiery trial is in the next life, but that's as big a lie as has ever been told. (1Co.3:12) But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; (13) each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. Here is where you go through the fiery trial to burn up the wood, hay and stubble, not in the next life. The Bible says “the day shall declare it.”  There are no days in eternity. This is where the fiery trial comes. But you can avoid the fiery trial very easily. All you have to do is not obey the commands of Jesus. If you don't obey Him, it's easy to avoid those kinds of trials and quite often we'll go around them, but what we're doing is putting off the day of crucifixion and the day of bearing fruit. God wants to motivate us with many, many Scriptures that today is the day of salvation. Today is God's day of deliverance 2Co 6:2  (for he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, And in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation): I found many places where David understood this. One of them is when Nabal's herds had been protected by David and his men out in the wilderness (1 Samuel 25:16). By the way, Nabal means “fool.” And David's men were sent to Nabal to get some supplies for his men, who were living in the wilderness, and Nabal answered them very roughly and sent them back without any help (1 Samuel 25:10,11,14). So David had decided, “I'll just go over there and take his head off” (1 Samuel 25:22).   Meanwhile, Nabal's wife, who was a very understanding and wise woman, decided she was going to go meet David and ask his forgiveness and she did (1 Samuel 25:24). And one thing she said is, “Thank God that the Lord has withheld you from avenging yourself at your own hand” (1 Samuel 25:26,31). She said that twice. Then David thanked her for her part in bringing that to pass (1 Samuel 25:32,33).   You know, there's something wrong about us avenging ourselves with our own hand. (Rom.12:19) Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God:] for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.  He said, if you do this, “thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head” (20). In other words, it's God's job to repay. If we repay, then God has to whip us because we've been commanded over and over not to repay. If we do it, He's going to whip us, but He doesn't have to whip them.   I'll give you an example. If you have two kids and you tell them, “Now, look, don't you hit back. If so-and-so does something to you, you come and tell me; I'll take care of it. If one of them hits back, then the other one has already gotten his punishment. In that case, why should I hit him again? I'm going to have to hit you since you're the one who needs the whipping because you disobeyed me.” Here's the point. This is the way God does things. If He tells us. “Don't do it,” there's a purpose in it. (Eph.6:12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. What we can do must be done in the spirit; it must be done through the power of faith. It can't be done in the flesh. We can be used of God to speak prophetic words that bring judgment on those who harm and kill his people but this should not be personal vengeance. Let me show you a really good example of this from David. (2Sa.16:5) And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and cursed still as he came. (6) And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. (7) And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow: (8) the Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned …  Well, I don't know if Shimei knew it or not, but David had opportunity about three times to kill Saul. It was in his hand to do it and he wouldn't do it. He wouldn't resist the evil. He wouldn't repay. He left that to the Lord and the Lord took care of that. The Lord used the Philistines to take Saul and almost his whole family out (1 Samuel 31:6), but He didn't blame David for it. David even had to dodge some of Saul's spears and his evil spirits (1 Samuel 18:11, 19:10). And Shimei continued his railing… And the Lord hath delivered the kingdom unto the hand of Absolom thy son; and, behold, thou art [taken] in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood. (2Sa.16:9) Then said Abishai the son of Zeruah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse the lord my king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.  (10) And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David … Do you see that? “The Lord hath said unto him, ‘Curse David.'” David wasn't wrong here. The Lord works all things after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). He sends wicked people to us to crucify this flesh. It's His purpose to do that, just as He sent and used the hand of wicked men to crucify the Lord. (Act.2:23) Him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay. God used these vessels of dishonor. He used the people of Israel and He used the wicked Roman empire to crucify the Lord, as the Scripture says.  It's the same way with us. He put us here in the midst of a bunch of wolves. Jesus said, “I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves” (Luk.10:3). We have been put here for crucifixion and the world is designed to crucify us. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the sovereignty of God. God designed this world to crucify us. Jesus was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). Stop and think. The lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Before Adam fell, God designed a Savior. Do you think we're in Plan B? Nope. We're in Plan A. There never has been a Plan B because God is sovereign. He designed this world to manifest sons and to do that you have to have a fallen nature to begin with. You have to have somebody who does not deserve God's goodness. That's where you have to start out because God wasn't creating angels.   If He was creating angels, He wouldn't have had to make man at all. God didn't want angels. He wanted somebody who was fallen and picked up by the grace of God. You remember what Jesus said to one of the Pharisees? (Luk.7:40) And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on. (41) A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty. (42) When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most? (43) Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.   (47) 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. In other words, “Who is forgiven much, loveth much.” See, we're going to know how to love God because we don't deserve anything. We have fallen and have been picked up by grace, not by our works, by grace. We don't deserve anything but justice, but pray you don't get it because God's grace and mercy is far above justice. That's why we have to be graceful with other people. Don't give them what they deserve; you may get what you deserve. (Mat.7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.  Don't think that you're going to give somebody justice because you'll get it back. Give them mercy. Give them grace. God will judge them. God may even judge them out of your mouth, but understand that it won't be with your flesh. The prophets spoke judgments. In the book of Revelation, prophets speak judgment (Revelation 11:6). I'm convinced that everything that happens in the book of Revelation comes out of the mouth of God's children. Many of the curses today that are coming upon this world are coming out of the mouth of God's children.   In fact, I'm convinced that all of them do. God is bringing judgment and He's doing it through His people. They're speaking that judgment, but they're not doing it with the arm of the flesh. You know, we can't rise up against this government (Romans 13). If you do, God promises, “all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (26:52). But, we can tear down this government because God has a Kingdom that's coming. The saints are going to possess the Kingdom and they're going to take it from the beast. And they're going to do it in the spirit realm. They are not going to do it in the flesh. In the flesh, they must be crucified. In the flesh, you must cease. You must desist. You must resist not him who is evil.   In the spirit realm, we can do many mighty things. God has planned it that way so that your spirit man will be strong, but your flesh will be weak. That's the way God's salvation, God's deliverance, is going to come. David understood that the Lord had commanded this and we need to understand this, too. All we have to do is read Job to see that circumstances are the same today as they were back then. (Job 2:10) … What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?…. And you know what? Job repented after God answered him in chapters 38-40. He repented of his self-righteousness. He repented in Job 42:1-6 and God gave him back what he'd lost in Job 42:10. But God used crucifixion in Job's life. Job wasn't physically doing wrong things; he wasn't in outward immoral disobedience. His problem was self-righteousness. He had to repent and God brought this against him to bring him to repentance.   David, too, was put in a position of crucifixion by God. God sent this enemy against him and David understood that. And he said, (2Sa.16:10) And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so? (11) And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him. “The Lord hath bidden him.” Think about that the next time people come against you and want to put you on the cross but you keep wanting to climb down. We do want to climb down off that cross, but you can't drive the nails. God has designed the wicked to put the cross in the ground and drive the nails. That's their calling in this world.   God has vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor. He has vessels of grace and vessels of wrath. They're all going to do His Will, one way or the other. All things serve the Lord and He works all things after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). If you understand this, you can walk in grace and peace in this world, no matter what comes against you, because God put you there for a purpose. He put you there to be crucified and He put you there so that you would learn to use the weapons of your warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4).   You know, sometimes the Lord sends the devil against you just so you can defeat him. He'll send him against you. He'll send the enemy against you but He doesn't want you to go against him by wrestling with flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). Remember that the Bible says, “resist not him that is evil” (Mat.5:39). On the other hand, it says “resist the devil” (Jas.4:7). “Resist not him that is evil” is talking about man. We don't wrestle with flesh and blood. When they wrestled with flesh and blood in the Old Testament, that was a type and shadow of them wrestling with principalities and powers. Go back over there and read the names of those kings and the names of those tribes that were conquered and study in the Hebrew what those names mean. You're going to find out they're all the lusts of the flesh and demon spirits.   That's who the Israelites were spiritually wrestling with and everything that happened to them was a type and a shadow for us. (1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. So go back to the Old Testament and look at it carefully. You'll see what they wrestled with. Today we think we're supposed to carry on an Old Testament-type warfare in the way we war with people, but you can't grow if you do that and God will chasten you if you do that because you're rebelling against His Word. And David said, “the Lord hath bidden him” (2Sa.16:11). (12) It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day.  David is saying that the Lord will pay him back good for his resisting not evil. If the Lord's going to bless you for it, go ahead and let them curse. Didn't Jesus say you'd be blessed when men would curse you? Absolutely (Matthew 5:11). Didn't He say the spirit of grace and the Spirit of God would rest upon you? Have you ever experienced that? I have. When I first learned of this doctrine, the Lord put me in situations where I did, by His grace, turn the other cheek and I felt the power of God on me for going through that. It's just a great anointing that comes upon you when you obey God in the place where you want to defend yourself and you refuse to do it. You, instead, leave it in the hands of God and you won't defend yourself.   If you do defend self, then the old man will live; he'll climb down off that cross. Even though he's crucified, he's not totally dead yet, so he can still climb down. It's true that we have to reckon him dead (Romans 6:11), but until he is dead, don't let him live; don't feed him. Do you know what fasting is a type of? Well, when you fast, you're not feeding the flesh. What does it do when you don't feed it? It gets weak. What does that do? It makes the spiritual man strong. There's a reason for fasting and there's a spiritual type. The whole chapter of Isaiah 58 is talking about spiritual fasting, about denying yourself, so we see that they had a revelation of that in the Old Testament, too. (2Sa.16:13) So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. (14) And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.   Well, that wasn't the end of the story. David never did do anything to Shimei but his son Solomon had him killed because he rebelled against his commands and left the city. It's hard to comprehend why Shimei was so against David. My guess is he was a low-life who just didn't want to understand the situation here. Anybody who was on Absalom's side and saw righteousness in Absalom and not in David, and saw righteousness in Saul, and not in David, was in trouble. He was a sick son of the devil. 

Introduction Last week we read about the rape of a woman by her half-brother. Amnon rapes Tamar the sister of Absolom. All children of David the King of Israel. 2 Samuel 13:23-36 23 Two years later, when Absalom's sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king's…

Eve's Killer (2) (audio) David Eells – 6/25/23  Extremely Important Last night the Lord showed me something extremely important that I missed in a recent dream interpretation.  Please listen and pray. He was saying, “It is time to call Lot out of Sodom. It is almost the last minute and second.” David Timoshchuk 6/15/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was walking through the woods and this girl called me up to come look at something and I came up there and saw these people in a circle and an older guy holding an old magazine (Representing old news that is already past.) On the magazine I saw pictures of Eve. (The Lord showed me that these pictures represent the stages of induction into the satanist faction bisexual cult.) One picture showed her with short red hair. (Representing no submission to Christ because her conscience was seared.) The second picture was her being Gothic. (Representing a love for dark spirits. “The pleasures of sin for a season.”) The third picture was her with another women, whom I knew was a bisexual. (This is all common to the faction. Satan demands his disciples to be perverts of any kind. It was their plan to put this abominable spirit in Eve just as they have. They want complete dominion over them.) The old man looked at me and was saddened and said, "Is this it for her?" I looked at him and told him, "No, remember the man at the cross was saved at the last second" the old man cheered up and I woke up. (Lot was called out of Sodom and its bisexuality at “the last second” for the fire was falling behind him as he left and got his wife who looked back. Father send your angels to bring Eve and the elect out of Sodom before you destroy this perverted cult.) I forgot to mention the next day all I could think is that she'll be back out of faction right before the death of Jesus. (Representing before the spiritual death of the Man-child, which was also the timing of the death of Judas, who represents the faction. This is just before the resurrection of the Man-child and the resurrection of saints we are waiting for.) On top of this we just got a word the Lord is coming now so it could very well be this pot blessing, July 1st. (I believe all of this will come to pass even if it doesn't on this pot blessing. We all want to see Jesus manifested ASAP.) Eve's Fall and Resurrection Eve Brast 7/29/22 (David's notes in red)   (In this dream David is the head or authority over the body.  I dreamed that I was in the UBM house. David and I were standing in the kitchen talking near the kitchen island. I don't remember what we were talking about but it was a pleasant and friendly conversation; nothing serious. There were several women who were busy working hard at the kitchen counter with their backs to us. They were washing vegetables and cutting up meats on the butcher block counter top near the stainless-steel sink. (These women were working hard to prepare the spiritual food, the meat of the Word, we serve to the saints.)   Suddenly, David took a misstep and lost his balance.  David fell straight forward, stiffly frozen. (I don't know of any misstep or fall but her mind and dreams were being altered by attacks from the faction, who want to blame me for what they do, which we recognized at the time.  Stiffly frozen represents an inability to move forward in progress to help the Eve.  As we now know Eve was falling away during this time and was then falsely blaming me for her fall. Michael and I have cast these demons out of Eve for some time but we came to this place that God would not give us the victory because she associated with the faction which we found went back almost 6 years when she bought another house with her X husband who was with the factious leader. She was trying to save her sons, as moms do, from these reprobates and got captured by the faction spirits.  In other words, we came to the place where I was frozen and incapable to help her because I didn't know of her dealings with the faction behind the scenes that was infecting her and didn't know why we weren't as successful as we had always been.  I had broken David's fall but in the process, I received a severe concussion in the back of my skull. We now know this was not true, her brain damage was because she was in disobedience to God's Word and the elders. They hit her head with voodoo witchcraft and turned her totally over to their demons and she will agree with this shortly. I was severely disabled by the fall because of the head trauma I had suffered. (This was her personally not the bride who has not fallen either.)  I never lost consciousness and was aware of what was being said all around me, but I was unable to open my eyes or communicate with anyone. (She lost all discernment and communication with us because she was demon possessed and God gave her over to this because of her sins which we later learned of.)   I was blind and mute as a result of the fall and I couldn't move my body. (She is not in control of her body and cannot see or say anything those demons don't show her.)    David and Michael, along with all the brethren, were very worried about me and David was blaming himself because he felt that the fall was his fault. (False, she was falling at the time she had the dream and made this false interpretation. I did for a short time wished I could have helped her but when the revelations came of her dealing with the faction I knew it was of God.  She bought a house with Eddie almost 6 years ago. And when she was taken over the factious leader was at her house all the time. Sick) Everyone began praying for me and taking care of me.)  (Yes we prayed much for her deliverance and believe it is still coming. The dreams say so.)  I began to be able to move my arms and hands, that now looked atrophied, from lack of use and movement.  (She will soon be able to act as a part of the body again as the dreams say.)   As I lay on the memory foam mattress, I raised my arms the best I could and attempted to say, “I'm healed in Jesus' name.” but it came out all slurred and jumbled. I kept struggling to be understood and finally I was able to form the word “healed" so that everyone was praising the Lord and agreeing with me saying, “Praise God. Yes you are healed!” (Yes, this is what we are believing for and she will too. Everyone pray for her and others who are captive to the faction.)   David commanded my eyes to be able to open and to focus and see again and I struggled to open my eyes and was able to do so momentarily and when I did I could see clearly and my vision was sharp. (She can see nothing at the moment but we believe for her to see as a Christian again with the discernment she once had.)   I couldn't yet communicate this with everyone but I was very excited as my eyes fell closed again. (Factious leader attempting to reel her back in.) I understood that it would be a process of recovery based on what my brethren did or didn't do to help.  (Yes, faith is needed)  But I knew once I could open my eyes permanently that I would have eagle eye vision and that gave me comfort. (Give Eve faith again Lord in Jesus name. She may be delivered when Haman, Herod, Absolom, Judas, factious leader dies by his own hand and the Man-child is resurrected to the throne. God has a purpose for Eve being there at this time and a lot of others. “Only with thine eyes thou shalt see and behold the reward of the wicked.) Then I was aware that David and Michael were now anointed with power from on high and they each had a tremendous gift of healing. They began praying for everybody in the house and healings were taking place. The more this happened the more my concussion or head trauma injury improved. As everyone was being strengthened by the anointing on David and Michael they ministered more and more to my needs and I started to get more and more rehabilitated and healings began to happen in my head and body.     The atrophy in my arms and legs was being healed and eventually I could see and speak again. (Prayer changes things.  She will heal quickly when the time comes very soon.)  Faction Killers  David Eells – 6/25/23   Jeroboam was a son of David by his concubine and had no rights to the throne he lusted after. Much like those who usurp the throne of David today. So, he factioned against the house of David and led the northern tribes into Idolatry and destroyed the people. They were dead to the true God through Jeroboam's faction and rebellion which is witchcraft. He destroyed them through faction many generations after him because they received of his spirts.  1Ki 12:26-28 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now will the kingdom return to the house of David: 27 if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.  Jeroboam was the beginning of a long line of leaders from himself to Ahaziah who destroyed themselves and their families spiritually and physically. 10 chapters of murdered kings and their families died in sin, killed by faction. Because they all inherited factious witchcraft demons passed down to them. We too have had a long line of egotistical wanna bees who rebelled against David because they loved their sins of slander faction and fornication and would not be corrected.  They are all dead in the terrible sins of Rom 1:18-32 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: 21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.  22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves: 25 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.   28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.  Here is a sample of this long line of self-made kings who destroyed everyone around them: 1Ki 15:25-16:4 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years. 26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon. 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.   29 And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam: he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite; 30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation wherewith he provoked Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger. 31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?  32 And there was war between Asa (a good king) and Baasha (a very bad) king of Israel all their days. 33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty and four years. 34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. (He factioned the apostate tribes away from the house of David.) 16:1 And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;  3 behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; (Here I have two notes next to “Baasha” in 2018 and 2020. I had asked for a word by faith at random about the factious leader and my finger landed on “Baasha” both times. He is Baasha.) and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. (Which was totally destroyed) 4 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.  (According to dreams, the factious leader has a huge demon, probably a principality or power, that sits behind his computer and rules over him and his subjects.)  (In our example of ancient factious kings, why would someone lust to have the throne for a short time when their history has proven it will cost them and their families their physical and eternal lives. This is why we say these leaders have the stupid demons. All lusted after their ego to their destruction.)  1Ki 16:6-28, 6 And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 7 And moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Jehovah against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him.  8 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years. (Was it worth it?)  9 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah: 10 and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead. (In the lineage of our factious leaders when one began to fail to overthrow me, he was removed by another who also attempted the same things and also failed. It is the demons, along with their master satan, who are in control of the factious leaders, who hate what we do to overthow their kingdom.)  11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha: he left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends. (Who were all taken down by his faction and witchcraft.)  12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, 13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.  14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. (Was it worth it?) Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.  17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died, 19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.  20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri. (A faction came in the faction, reaping what they sowed.) 22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.  23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. … 25 And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him.   26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. … 28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.  1Ki 21:20-25 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee, because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah. 21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel: 22 and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin.  23 And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel. 24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat. 25 (But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.  1Ki 22:34-40 And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: … 35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot. 36 And there went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country.  37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. 38 And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the harlots washed themselves there); according unto the word of Jehovah which he spake. … 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.  1Ki 22:51-53 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years (Was it worth it?) over Israel. 52 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherein he made Israel to sin. 53 And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.  2Ki 1:1-4 And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 2 And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub (satan), the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.  3 But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4 Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.   (Not one of the factious leaders have returned to the Lord and they all destroyed their own houses and friends. And this last one is the worst for Father showed us that he is Herod who killed the brethren of the Man-child Jesus while he sought to kill the Man-child, who was Jesus incarnate, and was destroyed for this. His demons have told us twice in dreams that they would kill us all and take us with them, which is a fools lie of course for Jesus is coming in the Man-child David's to stain his garments in their blood. Marburg and Ebola, which is said to be coming, hemorrhages blood out of every orifice in the body.  Here is an example of the murderous rampage of the factious leader and what the Lord says we can do about it.  (First, I want to tell you about Eve. Since 2008 she has fought the good fight against the enemies of the Kingdom while working like a slave for her family while her husband would not. She had essentially 3 full time jobs. She was wise and loving and loved the Word from UBM and highly respected me. Her dreams and prophecies were right on. The satanists came to hate her for this and fought a constant war to destroy her. We fought with her to save her from them. The factious leader sought to destroy her, but we prayed and warfared her through this many times. He lied to her husband about her, and he received it because he blamed her for all of his failures anyway. Recently we had been losing ground because she was trying to save her sons from these demonized people by appeasing them after her husband divorced her. They took her down with faction and witchcraft and since then she hated me like they did. We consider her a wounded soldier that desperately needs our help. Most of you have been edified by her hard labor. Father asks that you please join with us to help her now in prayer and faith.)  Eve Killers  Anonymous 7/2/21 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed I was in an apartment building. I saw three bedrooms in one apartment. (This is represented one of her dreams. She was in a bed captive to the two men who ultimately brought her down. These two who both hated and lusted after her were prancing around the room in tight underware.)  One bedroom was for a younger girl who looked a little dirty (spiritually so), and she was a bit slow mentally. (The factious leader and the satanists spiritually killed her with the stupid, factious, witchcraft, demons.) She had features similar to a woman from our fellowship, except that in this dream the woman had curly brown shoulder-length hair. (She didn't know this but Eve's natural hair is really brown and most don't know this.)  There was a large room on the opposite end of the living room that belonged to two young men. They tried to look clean (These are the same two men as in the underwear dream. They do try to look clean but they are dirty to the core and very immature for lost humans.) They had pale blue shirts and khaki pants, but they were sweating so much. (Representing self-works, anxiety and fear, about being disclosed. By the grace of God, we have been doing spiritual warfare against their evil works of serving satan and we are winning.)  They were unshaven (as they are), and had very pale skins. (From not being in and under the sun/Son.) They were looking like zombies. (The factious leader and his boyfriend are dead men walking.)  The other room was supposed to be for me, but I was only expected at 2pm the following day. (They are sweating because she arrived a day early and spied out their plan.) (This might represent that the Bride has assignments on her life.)  (I was told their plan by word of knowledge when Eve first fell, was to use her for their lusts and then kill her, but I revealed this to only a few locals and then bound it from happening. They both lust after her and want to use and abuse her in her dumbed down estate and use her slander against me.)  As I walked into this apartment, I immediately saw that these two men were trying to kill this younger woman. They had planned it, meditated on it, and were treating her well so that she would trust them. They were luring her in. They planned to butcher her that night. (We bind all of their efforts to do so. We have learned that this means to dismember her permanently by reprobation.)  In the dream, I had a vision of this younger woman completely chopped up. It was very bloody and grotesque. (While typing this up, I thought of Judges 19: 29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.) (A concubine is what they both want. Death is what God has promised them.)  Then in the dream it came to me, "That's what they want to do with everyone. She is not the first and I won't be the last". I looked at the other room that was supposed to be mine. The white door was locked. But in a vision, I could see that there were two people lying dead in there. (They have killed many others like this.) There was blood everywhere. I saw how they had screamed and fought to get out of that room during the attack, but they were trapped in there and now dead. Those two men had done it. They lived only to kill. They seemed to be psychopathic serial killers. (Yes, they are.) I could smell death approaching. I knew if I entered that room, my end might be similar.  I left the apartment in search of food. Then I went back to the apartment, and I saw that the front door handle had been removed so the younger girl could not close the door to have privacy or to be alone or safe at all. The door would always remain open. (They watch her on her computer and phone like they do a lot of women. They call her at night so they can see her in her night clothes. They lust after her.)  The men were ready to kill her. She was in a bath, shaving her legs and I said to her, "You need to pay attention to what's happening around you. They are playing you. Can't you see it?" I said, "Get dressed and leave and don't come back". She answered, "Oh I'll always come here. Look how well everything goes here". She was just so slow she couldn't or wouldn't understand. They came in and saw me talking to her. They tried to be friendly to me, but they couldn't hide their hatred for me. (They hate and want to kill us all especially the dreamers or those who have evidence of their evil as we do. They killed one woman they were calling at night against their will.)  I knew that they'd make her death look like a suicide but that they'd kill this woman before the day was done. (I asked the Lord, “How is Eve” and got through faith at random, Psa 109:24 My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness. I understood this because Eve lost her thyroid through radiation as a nurse. This leaves her without an appetite and very weak. She literally has to be told to eat to live. Could this be their plan?)  I thought "I don't need to be here". The smell of death came back to me. I left and walked into another apartment.  I woke from the dream but drifted back to sleep. I somehow wanted to see that woman saved from death and I prayed, "Lord, show me what happens next. Lord, show me what I need to do." I did not dream further or receive anything. I drifted off to dreamless sleep for a little while then woke up. I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random, and my finger landed on "Lord Jesus Christ" and "brethren", in Context 2Th 2: 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: (Eve is a chosen vessel of God. We know she will be saved through our faith and God's grace. Believe with us and cast down her demons.)  I got this text 2 times about Eve and I believe it is for a multitude of others. Isa 51:14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.   I got this text - Psa 92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10 But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.  Prophetic Word for Eve  Anonymous 6/12/23 (David's notes in red) GOD SAID: ‘Give ear and hear My Voice. Sup at My Feet. My compassion is for many and I hear supplication for their needs. Lay it all at My Feet. Bring it all to Me whoever you are. Bring it and lay it down, all that is good and know I have completed and taken charge over all the problems. Walk with Me and know I will keep you all safe. Nothing can come near My Children.  Hear My voice, I cry a sound that is life and power that will shake into place each and everything. My refiner's fire to purify, creates value beyond measure. Come forth as gold. Shine like the sun. Be as one! Meld and merge and never let go. Intercede desperately and fervently, cry out and wail! Scream from the innermost being to raise higher above the war. The Almighty power will fall, the glory of The Lord, to crush like a Blood-soaked sheet, washed and weighted heavy that smothers all.  Be wrapped in My glory. Hold onto each other, listen and be ready. Dearest children, you are ready for battle with all training and instruction. Your attention is needed for an important task. Deal with each other in need, with love, kindness and joy. Your power is now being collected and utilized. Be sure, now is the time to cry out and be the vessel of God. Scream in passion for a rescue of your beloved. (That is Eve and those like her.)  Set loose and let free, your heart, mind and soul confess for one another. (I.e. confess with authority what must be done.) Bound like a chain of lightning and electric intensity, striking and multiplying, each one in link is magnifying and amplifying the power, which is charged. Keep at it, the fire is roaring. I have heated up and proven a weapon to strike the enemy that not one could comprehend or do alone. (I.e. Join your faith together which is much more powerful and speak the deliverance.)  This My children is ready for you to take back all you have had stolen. (By the satanist faction) Each soul, each moment, you all are having restored. We are going to celebrate, but first you must be ready to scream and shout for The Lord God Holy One and Only. Bring forth the highest and most heavily invested intensity of who you are to the table, stack the fire high and praise The Almighty Father, Maker and Destroyer.'  In Italics is my remarks. Bold is the sentence to be read as per each landed on.

I was in a house with white walls and furniture and a swarm of flies came in. They were trying to come close to my head and I began to swat them.  I knew the flies represented thoughts contrary to the Word, whether faction, or doubt, or fear, or weariness, etc. and that we need to be guarded. This was accurate because before I took a nap, Chuc prayed for me as I was attacked with a bombardment of negative thoughts that I knew were not my own. And it felt exactly like a swarm of annoying and disgusting flies. (Satan through satanists are lord of the flies.) After Chuc prayed, and I rebuked them, they left. In the same dream I heard a mouse trying to hide in my closet and I went in to look for it and get it out. Mice represent unclean little beasts of hidden sin that might try to linger if we are not guarded.  I thought about Tianna's word from the Lord where He said "Let go of all those little sins you think that are hidden, I see all and I want all evil out of you."  When I woke up from this dream, I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random and received: Psalm 18:9-14 (I believe I landed on verse 9, but I'm not sure) The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: …12 Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my rock, and my redeemer. Debbie Fenske also this morning said she asked the Lord about what we should be doing and received by faith at random: Colossians 3:1-4 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. Factious Try To Hinder The Harvest  Missy Pollock 6/22/23  I dreamed I was in a house with other sisters from UBM and the only sister I clearly remember was Sue Gilbert. We were in a laundry room with piles and piles of clothes and Sue was picking up a large arm full of clothes to wash. (We were washing the clothes or works of the new believers by the washing of the Water of the Word. Doing the work of the ministry.)  There were these men in black (Factious Satanists) in the house with some kind of authority. (To persecute and test the righteous.) They were looking around and one of them put four tubes of cocaine on top of one of the piles of clothes. (This is for a fleshly high of judging others to justify their own sins.) I knew it was to plot against us to accuse us of using cocaine. (They are full of Witchcraft and rebellion.)  (The factious accuse and condemn others of the very same thing they do in an attempt to hinder the work of the ministry and drag others into their satanic cult.) If we receive accusations or condemnation, we don't have faith; which we need to minister Christ and the benefits of the kingdom to others.)  Rev 12:10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven, saying, Now is the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.   Rom 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus hath freed thee from the law of sin and of death.   When I saw their cocaine tubes, I took them and hid them in a corner under some clothes so they wouldn't find them and accuse us.   Psa 35:19-24 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.  20 For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land. 21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. 22 Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. 23 Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice due unto me, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.  24 Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.   The men didn't find the tubes of cocaine. After the men left the house Sue and I went outside and were looking at a large field of some kind of crop that was brown and looked like it was ready to be harvested.  (The harvest of the firstfruits is here and the faction have lost the race going backwards without even the 30 fold fruit.) Joh 4:35 Say not YE that there are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? lo, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white unto harvest. (It is time for so many worthless people to obey the great commission and get into the harvest.)  The crop was tall enough that you could barely see cars on the road that went through the field. The end.  I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random for the dream and received Heb 11:9, in context 9-12. Heb 11:9-12 By faith he became sojourner in the land of promise, as in a foreign one, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow-heirs of the same promise: (The faction have no faith and stand on no promise and bear no fruit.) 10 for he awaited the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (The city called the bride)  11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive seed (Of the promised Son), even when past her season, since she counted him faithful who had promised: 12 wherefore also there were begotten of one, and him as good as dead (After the Man-child reformers death and resurrection great fruit will be born.), even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the shore of the sea, innumerable.  Go on the Offensive Against the Factious Leader  Ben Slojewski 5/30/23 (David's Notes in red)  I was a secret agent that had infiltrated the enemy alien spacecraft. (The aliens are the demons who fight against us from the second heaven.)  My task was to kill and exterminate the enemy from within. I was hiding in corridors and being stealthy, exterminating each alien one by one and exterminating multiple ones that were in groups. The intercom system on the spaceship was an alien language. I didn't know the words they were saying. (We don't need to listen to them just exercise our authority over them.)  I knew eventually they would figure out I was there. Instead of them coming back at me they feared me and my skills that I acquired.   Most of the aliens were small and bug-like but there was one big one that caught my attention. There was a big frog about twice the size as me. I made this frog my primary target and noticed that it was the leader. (This factious leader is full of lust and perversion spirits represented by frogs.)  The frog quickly started jumping away, but I was just as fast. My regular skills could not combat him because he was very quick and elusive but I started fighting this frog with my tongue and it could not defend against me. He tried to run but I quickly knocked him down by sticking my tongue at him. Then I woke up. (“No weapon formed against us shall prosper.” “We have authority over all the power of the enemy.” “What we bind on earth is bound in heaven.')  The Lord is reminding me to keep fighting against these spirits of lust and darkness with the power of the tongue. He also puts it in my heart to say we can go on the offense by coming against these demons. We don't just need to be on the defence, but we can fight against any attack we feel might be coming against ourselves or our fellow brethren of the body of Christ worldwide.  Back in the Kitchen  Marie Kelton - 6/28/19 (David's notes red)  In this dream UBM was going to go on a two-month resort. I couldn't go because I had to work, but I was able to see what the resort looked like before I went to work, the resort was really nice log cabins in a beautiful area. (So, this represents our really nice wilderness homes looking like a resort in the beautiful area. This is promised so we are to expect it.)    I went to work and I was cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. (The kitchen preparing the spiritual food of the word.)    A factious leader was there, working at my job. I saw him and knew I wasn't supposed to talk to him. (He has been working to sabotage our kitchen, so the children cannot be fed the Word, or add corruption with poison. Apple said it was he who took down our website, and this was to ruin our kitchen and all because we would not let him seduce our women.)   So, I didn't, but my coworkers looked at me funny because I was avoiding him. Then he started lusting after the women at my work. They didn't like it and we're getting upset. (Which is exactly what is happening.) So, he rushed out of the kitchen area and went into the hallway and sat in a corner. (Like a bad little boy.)    I went over to see if I could help him. I began rebuking the spirit of rejection as I was bending over in front of him. He reached out to give me a hug and I said, “No!” very sternly because I didn't want a transfer of his spirits. Then he looked like he was going to cry. So, I started to come against the spirit of shame. (The verses I was given below confirm perfectly the shame God will heap upon him and those like him.)    After this my boss who was a woman with red hair in a wheel chair wanted him out of the building. (This could be Eve whom he damaged. She has been handicapped because of his sabotage. Everyone is working to repair what he did.) The police came and took him away. (We warned him of this, His judgment cometh soon. Also, the law of the Word condemns his works as illegal and needing incarceration. This is what came to me: Mat 5:22-28 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; …23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.   25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.    Then, I heard David say, He cannot come back until he truly has repented. Then, I woke up. (I asked Marie if she had any sense that he would repent and she said, “No”. Our dreams say the same and that he will die in sin.)    After reading this I opened my Bible and looked down on Psa 40:14-15 Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt. 15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha. I then fliped the page looking at the same spot in the upper right corner of my Bible and read, Psa 35:25-26 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. Amazing, look at the commonality in these texts. Say Aha, shame, dishonor. The words “put to shame” are all through the Bible and always speak of the wicked.    Then I remembered that I had been hearing in my mind for quite a while, Psa 86:17 Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. Notice shame is mentioned here too. I had been thinking that the token for good that would shame them was the blessing on the Bride.)    Printer-friendly version     © 2017 UBM | Unleavened Bread Ministries.

Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them. Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple.” Psalm 65 is the first of four psalms (Psalms 65-68) that focus on praising the Lord for His manifold blessings in nature and for His gracious dealings with His people. David wrote the previous Psalms, Psalms 52-64, during and about the times that he was either fleeing from King Saul, or he was dealing with the rebellion of his son Absolom.  They are Psalms where he is pleading and calling out to God for protection and deliverance. It is fitting that Psalm 65 follows them, as it is a special Psalm of praise and worship! In verses 1-4, we see the grace of God, in providing atonement for our transgressions (v. 3) and choosing us to approach Him to worship in the holy sanctuary (v. 4). Jesus Christ is the only Savior and salvation for sinners. The very first word of the Psalm is “Praise”.  God created us to worship and praise Him! But our “iniquities”, our sins and transgressions surround us and prevent us from truly worshipping the Lord! (v. 3). But thank the Lord, God has provided an “atonement” for them. David was looking forward one-thousand years when he wrote: “You will provide atonement for them”. David clearly saw the Messiah, Jesus Christ, suffering on the cross and shedding His blood that would be sprinkled on the “Mercy Seat” that sat on top of the “Ark of the Covenant” in the Most Holy Place!  The Covenant, the Law, the Ten Commandments, which was inside the Ark proves that we are sinners who have broken the Law. The Law condemns us and demands the punishment of death for our sin. But thank the Lord, the “Mercy Seat” provided atonement, a covering for our sin before a holy and righteous God because a sacrifice was provided, and blood was shed that was sprinkled on it. The blood of animals in the Old Testament could only by faith provide a temporary picture of the perfect Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, Who would shed His blood and once and for all, provide an eternal atonement for the sin of the world. (Hebrews 7-10).  How amazing that David writes about this here in Psalm 65! “Praise is awaiting You…”. The opening phrase is translated literally, "To you praise is silence," which doesn't convey very much. The New American Standard Bible combines both: "There will be silence before Thee, and praise in Zion, O God." The Hebrew word for "silence" is very similar to the word for "fitting, proper," so some translate it, "Praise is fitting for you," that is, "It is fitting that your people praise you." But silence is also a part of worship, and we must learn to wait quietly before the Lord (62:1). We need to humble ourselves in repentance and get quiet enough for the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to the wonderful atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross in our place, as the only perfect Substitute for our sin! Only then “will we be satisfied with the goodness of God in our worship and praise in His house, His holy temple” (v. 4). In verse 5-8, we see the government of God as He rules over all the nations of the earth, and as He performs “awesome deeds in righteousness” (v. 5). God wants all the world to know about His wonderful salvation that He has provided through the death of His Son Jesus Christ! When we repent and believe in Him, we will rejoice from the rising of the sun until its setting, the same way God's creation does all the day long! (v. 8). May the Lord open our eyes and hearts to these wonderful truths in this chapter! God bless!

I never realized until we started this series of chats in the Book of Psalms, that David wrote so many of them when he was in the depths of despair, in the greatest time of crisis in his life, as he was fleeing from his son Absolom's rebellion. In the first verses of Psalm 63, David is determined to seek the Lord and desire Him with his whole heart! In a place where there is no water, his soul thirsts for his God more than anything else! David then went from seeking God early in this terrible circumstance to praising God with his lips, his mouth, and his hands (vv. 3-5).  Years ago, I heard someone say, “When the praises go up, the blessing come down.” How true! David didn't depend on the tabernacle or its furnishings—in fact, he sent the ark back to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 15:24-29), but on the living God whose character and works were declared in those furnishings. Unlike the superstitious people of Judah in Jeremiah's day (Jer. 3:16; 7:1-16), David looked beyond material objects and saw spiritual realities. He had no priest or altar there, but he could lift his hands like the priests and bless the Lord and His people (Num. 6:22-27). His uplifted hands, though holding no sacrifice, signified his prayers and the love of his uplifted heart (Psalm 28:2; 141:2; 1 Tim. 2:8). By faith David was under the wings of the cherubim in the Holy of Holies, protected from his foes (v. 7; 36:7). There in the wilderness, he had no sacrificial meal to enjoy, but his soul feasted on spiritual delicacies that even the priests were not permitted to eat (v. 5; Lev. 3:16-17). "Marrow and fatness" typify the very finest of food (Psalm 81:16; 147:14; Deut. 32:14; Isa. 25:6). Instead of complaining, as we are prone to do when things go wrong, David sang praises to the Lord. Then in verses 6-8, David went from praising God to remembering and meditation on God. David's heart was at peace, and he was able to go to bed and calmly worship the Lord and meditate on Him (Psalm 3:5-6; 42:8). The phrase "earnestly seek" in verse 1 can mean "early will I seek." David did this both morning and evening. The phrase "remember God" means to recall what He has said and done in the past and apply it to our present situation (Psalm 42:6; 77:1-11; 105:1-5; 119:55). It was because Israel forgot what God did, that they rebelled and disobeyed Him (Psalm 78:40-43; 106). Our God is I AM, not "I was," and He must always be recognized in our present situation. The Jews had three-night watches, from sunset to ten o'clock, from ten to two o'clock, and from two to sunrise, so whenever David awakened during the night, he immediately remembered the Lord. (Or it could mean he was awake all night, but not tossing and turning.) His bed was under the wings of the cherubim, and he felt secure as he meditated on the Lord (Psalm 16:7; 119:148; Deut. 6:4-9). But David wasn't passive in his devotion, for he continued to cling to the Lord and rest in the safety of His right hand (Psalm 17:7; 18:35; 41:12). Faith without works is dead. Believers are safe in the hands of the Father and the Son (John 10:27-29), but that doesn't give us license to do foolish things that would endanger us. "My soul follows close behind You" is a literal translation of verse 8, including both submissive faith in God and active pursuit of God. Today, in John 14, we also have the promise of Jesus that the Holy Spirit will indwell us, and when we follow His leading and sense His presence, we will enjoy His peace in whatever circumstance we might find ourselves in. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). God bless!

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Over the years Psalm 63 has become one of my most favorite Psalms, among all my other favorite Psalms! I'm sure we could spend several weeks studying and meditating on this great passage of Scripture and never exhaust it. From the superscription given to this Psalm we know that David wrote it when in was in the wilderness of Judah. Someone titled this Psalm, “Knocked Down but Not Knocked Out”. From verse 11, we also know that it was during the time that David was king of Israel. “But the king shall rejoice in God..”.  David was in the wilderness of Judah because he was fleeing from his son Absolom who was leading an insurrection against him, along with others such as Ahithophel, once his counselor and friend, and also Amasa his nephew (2 Samuel 15-17). This had to be one of the darkest times in the life of David. But it was going to take more than Absalom his son, and all the armed might of the rebels to knock him out. His life was hid in God. To get at him they would have to knock out God first. That is the setting of this psalm. This reminds us of the experiences of the Apostle Paul that he shared in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, "We are hardpressed on all sides, but we are never frustrated; we are puzzled, but never in despair. We are persecuted, but are never deserted: we may be knocked down, but we are never knocked out!" (Phillips translation). Yes, David is knocked down as he travels on the northern edge of the wilderness of Judah which stretched away to the arid banks of the Dead Sea, and was far from the sanctuary in Jerusalem, the sum and center of his life. Interestingly, this wilderness area is the lowest elevation, the lowest point on the entire planet. This had to be the lowest time in the life of David. He is in a dry hot dusty desert instead of his comfortable secure palace in Jerusalem. However, he didn't look back in regret at the mistakes he had made as a father, nor did he look around in fear or complain at the discomforts and dangers of the wilderness. Instead, he looked up to the Lord and reaffirmed his faith and love. In an hour when David might have been discouraged, he was excited about God, and in a place where there was no sanctuary or priestly ministry, David reached out by faith and received new strength from the Lord. Years ago, I heard a dear saint make this statement: “If you take the hand of the Lord in the light, you don't have to look for it in the dark”.  Someone else said: “What the Lord shows you in the light, you don't have to doubt in the darkness”.  David didn't have the temple and sanctuary of Jerusalem available to worship in, but he was able to turn a painful wilderness time into a worship experience because he put his faith and love in the Lord he had in his heart! As you know, David had already written numerous Psalms about this experience with Absolom's rebellion. (Go back to Psalm 3). But now he writes a new “wilderness Psalm”, one to express the worship of his heart! Yes, he was “knocked down, but he was not knocked out”! I trust that you will read this Psalm several times in your quite time over the next few days and remember to turn to it in those dark days of your life to find encouragement and strength. Sure, we might get knocked down by life's experiences, but by God's grace and mercy we can always get back up! God bless!

Welcome to the first day of a new month! For some reason, I get motivated by thinking about the “first day”! God gives us the first day of the week, the first day of the month, and the first day of a new year! Our God is the God of “new beginnings”. Today is the first day of the rest of your life! In a way, that is what Psalm 62 is about. We are not sure of the circumstances behind this psalm. It could be when David was initially fleeing from King Saul. Or maybe when David was anointed king over Judah at Hebron and still had to deal with Saul's son who became king over the other eleven tribes to the north. Or it's possible David wrote it as he is dealing with his son Absolom's rebellion. Whatever and whenever it was, David is watching everything around him being “shaken”. The lies, the corruption, the attacks are coming from every direction, and he feels “like a leaning wall or a tottering fence about to get knocked down and fall over” (v. 3). David didn't know who he could trust because they would “bless him with their mouths, but he knew they were cursing him inwardly” (v. 4). Things are shaking, but David declares by the grace and mercy of the Lord, he will not be shaken (vv. 2, 6). In verses 9-12, David reminds himself that the God he serves is really the One in control of all things no matter how powerful his enemies might appear to be! Now, when he looks at the enemy, he sees them as nothing! No matter how high socially, or how powerful they might be politically or economically, he knows that all men are but vanity or like "a breath", here one second and gone the next. (James 4:14; Job 7:7). If you put them on the scales, nothing will register, because they weigh nothing (Job 6:2; Isa. 40:15; Dan. 5:27). David's enemies had acquired their power and wealth by oppressing and abusing others, and David is now warning his own people and us also, not to adopt their philosophy of life. How tragic when God's people today put their trust in their wealth, positions, and human abilities and not in the God who alone can give blessing. The phrase "once... twice" in verse 11 is a Hebrew way of saying "many times, repeatedly" (Amos 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 13; Job 33:14). David had often heard these words and the lesson they carried was written on his heart. David knew and believed that God is powerful, and all authority belongs to Him! And David added, “Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy”. Like David, we must believe, that God's sovereign authority, His power, His strength and His lovingkindness and mercy are sufficient for every crisis of life, for we are in the hands of a God whose omnipotent love can never fail. "Let us fall now into the hand of the Lord, for his mercies are great" (2 Sam. 24:14). “For You render to each one according to his work” (v. 12). God did vindicate David and give him his throne, and he reigned with great distinction. No matter what people may say about us or do to us, God keeps the books and one day He will give sinners and saints the rewards they deserve. "And each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor" (2 Cor. 3:8). Let me finish with these verses in Hebrews 12:27-29: “Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.” My friend, everything around us might be shaking, but God will never be shaken, His Son Jesus Christ will not be shaken, the Word of God will not be shaken, and anything that pertains to His Kingdom cannot be shaken! Therefore, we can also say, “I shall not be shaken”, and we should receive His grace to continue to serve God acceptable with reverence and godly fear! God bless!

Faction Cannot Prevail (3)     (audio) David Eells - 5/24/23    To Defeat Faction we need to know 2 things; his evil tactics and how to have authority over his power in your life. First the tactics.     Know Your Enemies Tactics    Tianna Fire 5/6/23 (David's notes in red)  In my dream I was invited to participate in a competition, but it wasn't made known what you had to do. (The competition is a test or trial to see who will fall away and be deceived by the factious leader, or apostasy.) It was located on this small island, only accessible by boat, which could only occur for a few hours during the daytime. (We are on an island of sorts bordered by fault lines and a river. We were shown the fault lines would open up as the craton moved west leaving water around us. This would cause us to be accessible by boat. The waking hours and the light of the Son is the test.) On the island there was a 6-story building to the right and there was a school, restaurant, hotel, public toilet, shower, and shops; all in this building, and there was a deck that went all around this building in a circular shape. (All that is needed to build the Kingdom in man. Six is the number of fallen man which is our temptation during the trials. The outer man decays as the inner man is renewed.)  There was bush as soon as you got off the boat, and one path that led to the area on the island where everything was located. (These trials or tests must be overcome in our own wilderness, like it was with Moses, before we could lead others through the trials.) I walked down that path with the other people that were on the boat, and we were greeted by a man who told us that he was the manager of the island and he was the host of the competition and he led us to the left area of the island where the competition would be. (The manager is a type of the factious leader who leads to the left to test many. He works for Satan, the administrator of the curse, sent to test many in what sometimes feels like an island of isolation. We are never alone when we have Gal 2:20 Christ in us, the hope of glory. Jesus was led of the Spirit to be tempted of Satan and overcame to begin His ministry.)   There were around 10 other women already there for the competition. (Ten is the number for the law or testimony or commandments, and also a number that represents completeness.) Every person in the competition was wearing a certain color; one lady was blue, one pink, one green, etc. and I was yellow (representing the color of the Son/sun.) The women were from all different parts of the world (Representing different groups in the running for the Bride like Esther. Only one represents the Son/sun fully like the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love.)  The host manager told us that we had to go along this path that led throughout the island that had bush on either side of the path. He didn't tell us how to win. (The factious leader never tells you how to win. He wants to hide that.)  He said that we all had to walk together until the end, and that only one of us could win but we all had to stay together. (The test is to stay one in Christ while the wicked faction works for Satan who seeks to disqualify us and dismember us. Only one wins the race and that is Christ. We are one body in Christ. 1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.)  So, we walked together along the path and we encountered various trials. We found out at the end that we were all being tested to see how we would all react and respond to the trials and situations. When we all got to the end of the path, we were told that I had won the competition, and one of the rewards was I would get paid an extreme amount of money to help look after a school and hotel on the island. (This is a true picture of the Brides reward. Only the one wearing yellow, representing being clothed with Christ's works, wins. This is the chosen above many women, the Bride of Christ. Est 2: 16-17 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. 17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. Who rebelled against the Kings command.)   We were all then invited into the restaurant in the building to have a free meal together. We all sat at a giant table.  (The 7 day/year Marriage Feast in the 7 year tribulation, where the Man-child feeds the spiritual food of life.)  I felt like the black sheep, I felt left out as the other women there didn't like me. (Just as in the Song of Solomon, the Shulamite was an object of Jealousy from the competition, which often causes the factious to show themselves. Jam 3:16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.) The manager was also sitting at the table. (Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.)  I got up to go to the bathroom to use the toilet and the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said that if I went there to use the toilet, the manager would follow me in and force me and abuse me. (If we are determined to rid ourselves from the waste of the old life it will make the factious leader angry and he is a molester of souls. The factious are offended with our desire to be cleansed of defilement. Pro 2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil.) So, I tried to just stay in the public area and where people were. (We cannot hide and get rid of sin. We are to be transparent in confessing our sins one to another to get rid of the waste of the old life. 1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.) I went back to the table to watch everyone to make sure nothing would happen to anyone, when I noticed a young man walking over to the bathroom. I heard the Holy Spirit say to warn the young man to not go in there otherwise the man would follow him in and hurt him. So, I ran over to the young man and told him what Jesus said, and the man believed me and went away from there into a public area. (The enemy will attempt to harm, deceive or corrupt the elect. Our duty is to be alert to the Holy Spirit to aid the whole Body, always. Always remain in His sight and be listening. NENT 1Pe 3:12 Because the Lord's eyes are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the Lord's face is upon those doing evil.)  When sitting at the table, the Lord told me to go around to everyone and warn them about this man. So, I went throughout the building finding individuals and groups of people and warned them about this evil man and what he was doing. (In the Word they are rebuked openly.)  Most people believed me and knew it was true. Some of them confessed to me that the man had hurt them before, but they couldn't do anything or tell anyone. (The spirit of faction uses fear and intimidation and misplaced loyalty to cause us to not reveal this wolf in our midst.   We have no loyalty to the wicked we are told to mark them. Rom 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. God put a mark on Cain.)  I shared The Real Good News with them, and Jesus comforted them and gave them strength and boldness to speak up to their parents, or the police, and to the others around. (Be bold in Christ, he has overcome the world. Take comfort, the Holy Spirit will give you what to say at the needed time. These dreams are given to warn many. 2Ti 1:7 For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.)   I kept avoiding the host while I went about warning everyone I could find. I kept trying to get the women that were in the competition alone so I could tell them about this man, but it was hard to tell them privately, because they were mostly hanging around the man who was the host. (The apostate leaders are deceiving and seducing many “women representing groups of Christians,” captivating them with their charm and position, and they enjoy having his attention.)  At one point the ladies in the competition were alone out on the deck, so I was able to warn them about the man and told them about the victims that have witnessed his evil. Some of the girls laughed at me and mocked me as they didn't believe me, and I said to them with sadness in my heart, to please just be aware and to not risk being alone with the man, because I care about them and don't want anything to happen to them, I pleaded with them to keep their guard up. (Deception can be so entrenched they would defend the unjust and mock those who are speaking the truth.)  Only a couple of the girls believed me, and I could see they were a little worried and I told them if anything happens, for them to call on Jesus and He will save them. (Call and believe in the Name of Jesus and you shall be saved. NENT Rom 10:13 for, Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.)  …. One of the girls in the competition with me, who had laughed and mocked me when I first tried to warn her, came over to me and was crying and distressed and she confessed that the manager had hurt her, and she regretted not heeding the warning. I had sympathy for her and comforted her and spoke gently and with compassion I shared that only Jesus can understand what she experienced and feels, because he bore it all and only Jesus could heal her. She was very humbled and desperately wanting to grab onto the hope of Jesus. I told her everything I could, and I prayed with her. (2Co 5:18-19 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.)      Hidden Agenda: Traffic the Children    Tianna Fire 4/29/23 (David's notes in red)  I had a dream of a certain man. He had a wife and children of his own, a nice house and he was very loved and known for good works in his community. Everyone loved him and thought he was a good man because he did good things to gain respect. He took in runaways and helped many homeless and those in need. He gave them money and resources and a place to stay, and he often took in young women. (As we will see, this man represents factious and apostate Christianity. They try to appear to be good and caring on the outside to deceive many.) I experienced in this dream that I was one of those young women that he would take in. (Tianna appears to represent the bride.)  He and his wife were very friendly. They also had some foster children that they would care for.  After I had been staying there for a while, the man of the household told me, and the other children, including their foster children, that we were now required to help him with work. So, he drove us to this motel that he owned. (They seem nice in appearance, but underneath are many lusts and many “vile deeds". The faction in the secular world and the Church are overcome by many lusts.) Mat 23: 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.)  He took us to the first room and told one of the girls she had to go in there and wait for the man she was to help, and then he locked her in the room, and went to the next room and did the same thing with another child, and he did this with each child or teenager until it was my turn. (The sick reality is the faction and other apostates are trafficking the souls of the children of God. Praise God they are being exposed !)  I knew what was going on was evil and I would not comply; I confronted him and told him how evil this was and that it was not going to happen to me, but he insisted. He became very forceful and didn't let me leave and tried to push me into the room and quickly shut the door to lock me inside.  I then spoke the Word and commanded him to let me go as I am a chosen child of God and that he had to let me go. It was as soon as I spoke the Word, a rush of wind (the Spirit) knocked him back and I was able then to escape. I tried to help the others who were locked in the rooms, but I couldn't open the doors. Then I woke up.   (The Spirit of God is coming to help those that escape the Edomites, who hated and killed their chosen brothers in Israel as a type of the Church.  Isa 63:1-5 Who is this that cometh from Edom (Esau's descendants who hated their brethren the chosen.), with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.     Factious Leaders Demon Tells of His Intentions     Claire Pienaar 5/23/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed my family lived in a beautiful new home that was laid out like my parents' old home. (Living as the first Church) It had new bathrooms and kitchen. It was early morning and the sun was shining. My maid, Jane, was there and I could see her hanging up our cleaning white washing, specifically our bedding, on the washing line. I could also see that she had what I called our “Royal” bedding that she was about to bring into the house and put on the beds while the whites were drying. (We build our houses according to the original gospel to rest in purity the royal way with the angels as ministering servants.)  My children were all lining up to have a nice warm bath, one at a time, and then I would bath last. We were all so thankful for a new bathroom and we liked living in this home, in this area with sunshine. (With the Son shining his glory.) (Representing sanctification and holiness of the fruit of faith.)  I walked to where Riaan was in the living room and opened my laptop. There was an email from the factious leader. He had interpreted a dream that I sent David personally (Because he is a military trained hacker who has stalked me and our women.) and sent it back to me. It looked like this:  I (the factious leader) was treading the wine press. His feet were red with the grape juice. (Claire: the blood of the saints) (His demon spoke: don't muzzle the ox. I'll be condemning you all to hell as I go down there. You'll all come with me).  (His plan to kill all the saints here but God has told us his host will be killed and he will be scattered.) I didn't get to read the rest of the dream. I closed the laptop. Riaan said, “It's probably best to ignore him”. I agreed, and let David know he was intercepting emails to David's private email.   I went to check on my children and they were now all clean and freshly bathed too.  (The children of the bride are blessed) I woke up. I opened up my Bible, not really expecting anything as I was not asking the Lord anything specific, and my finger landed on 1Co 9:1, and as I read I came to that portion of “not muzzling the ox”. 1Co 9: 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth. (The factious leader actually fancies himself to be righteous and his "vile deeds" no problem with his god, who is Satan. His hope is to destroy UBM and David as he has said. His lust was always to be a leader and now he is one, like Haman.)    Final Curse Attempts of the Faction Fails    Claire Pienaar 5/23/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in the foyer of a large auditorium. David Eells had a banquet table out in the front, on the right side as you entered the auditorium from the outside. (Representing the UBM website that is large and has lots of “food” of the word, in it. And the teaching books and videos.) Linda had a table on the left. (Linda means beautiful serpent.) She kept on trying to gain a seat at the table where David and I were seated. (The factious leader has come back temporarily 3 times but could never repent of his lusts so he left again.)(This represents the factious leader trying to infiltrate the website and people.)  She came round the back of my chair and told me she's now out of a job and she's moving on. (The factious Herod, Judas, Absolom, is dying at the hands of God and their demons are moving on.)  But before she goes she has one last thing to share: A table appeared behind David's table, perpendicular to his table. There, a poor looking Italian man was performing art and décor with chocolate. He was really good at it. (Chocolate seems sweet but it is a dark art like Voodoo, which the factious leader practices on peoples minds to capture them. One of the faction supplied pictures so the factious leader could focus Voodoo on us. But what we bind on earth is bound in heaven.)   He had to pay Linda to perform his art, and then people paid him for his art. At first I was super impressed, but then I noticed how scrawny he was and his suit was very shabby. (The factious are not dressed up with the works of Christ but the works of the old man.) He was clearly past his prime and was holding on to the glory days of being a chocolatier. He left. (This was his one last temptation.) (Yes, in parallel to the "beautiful serpent" he is moving on.) Two dark couples, very tall and very overweight, walked in then. (This symbolizes that they are submitted to darkness and full of flesh.) They looked like homeless, drunken gangsters. They took a brother and held him up. One cursed him and said, “this old guy is too fat”. The brother expanded in front of my eyes. Another one picked him up and also cursed him: “Look, he must be sick because he is so thin”. He then shrunk in front of my eyes. (This is the manner of Voodoo to focus on the person and curse them.)  I knew these were curses and I could not agree with them. They kept looking at me, tauntingly. Then they wanted more alcohol, and they went elsewhere to find it. (Ultimately their addictions will get the better of them or distract them from their focus, which is to taunt and tempt the Bride.)  I then saw a girl who was friends with Linda. She hopped out of a black car and she had long dark hair. Her name was Raquel. (Racquel is from Rachel and means “ewe”. She was Jacob's favorite wife.) This girl has historically always looked sad to me. However, it seemed she'd left Linda's friendship and was now running alongside a blonde girl. (The bride) They were not coming inside but she had a beautiful big smile on her face and looked truly happy for the first time since I have known her. (A righteous seed will escape the evil faction.) Linda said again, “I'm out of a job. I'm going to have to try something else”. (The attempt of the serpent to beguile and infiltrate has failed.) I woke up.     Defeating Factions Power   Separating the Factious from the Righteous Belinda - 10/04/2011 (David's notes in red) I had a vision: It was dark, but in the darkness I saw a house. The house was shining very brightly on the right side; it appeared to be glowing. I saw people gathered in a circle; they were very tall and they seemed at peace. They were praying and singing praises to the Lord. (This represents the UBM house and on a larger type the house of God. They were on the right side because they were sheep which Jesus put on the right. That side was shining brightly because the glory of God is there. They were tall because they were big and mature in the ways of the Lord.) On the left side of the house it was very dark and smoke was coming out of the walls. The people looked like dwarves. They were angry and agitated, and they kept pacing back and forth. (The left is, of course, those who act as goats, which Jesus put on His left. It was very dark because they are walking in darkness. Smoke is coming out of the walls because the judgment of God is upon it. They were dwarves because they have been stunted in their growth and are small and immature in the ways of the Lord. They are angry and agitated because they are full of witchcraft, Voodoo, faction, anger, slander, wrath, etc. They are pacing back and forth because they are nervous and stirred up by these spirits.) There was a door that separated the two sides of the house. There were no handles on either side of this door. (God has made a separation between the righteous and the factious. They may not get at the truly righteous who obey His Word to separate from them and we may not minister to them, for God has given them over to this to prove them. A handle could be provided for them to come through the door if there was unforgiveness or other willful sin among the righteous.)  The people on the left were angry because they could not figure out how to get this door open to get to the other side. (The goats have been bitter and angrily trying to get at the righteous with their slander.) They wanted to stop those people from singing and praising the Lord. (The demons hate peace and praise among the righteous.) There was a crack about 3/4 of the way down through the center of the house. It looked like at any time the house would split apart. (This is the spiritual earthquake we have seen that is separating those who walk in sin from the refuge and Bride. The separation will soon be physical and those who do not repent will leave our house to make us a purified house. The Lord said to me, as I meditated on this, that His foot is pushing down on the left side of the house. As the weight of their sin becomes greater they will break off. Father has been showing us for several years through dreams, visions and prophecy that an army of demons would make war with UBM and myself in an attempt to destroy our influence on Earth but at the same time we were shown we would become greater in holiness, power and ministry.) I noticed that the right side of the house was firmly on the foundation, whereas the left side of the house had no ground under it. I thought to myself, if that house splits all the way, the left side is going to fall (into Hell) and there's nothing to catch it! (They are not founded on the rock of God's Word but "on the sand" of the abyss and Jesus said, concerning the fall of that house, great was the fall thereof (Mat.7:24-27). Unforgiveness has taken away grace from them. The factious leader has his eye on carving up UBM for himself from the cover of darkness. God also had His own plan to separate those who could give in to these lusts and so He has. We pray constantly for our brethren that they would come to repentance and we know that some will.)     The Unforgiving are Unforgiven David Eells   Those who do not have forgiveness or grace for others will not have it themselves and will live under the curse and demonic oppression/possession, for they are the wicked. {Mat.6:14} For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. {15} But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ...{18:32} Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: {33} shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? {34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors [demons], till he should pay all that was due. {35} So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.   The Judas Spirit David Eells   Judas was among the disciples of Jesus whom later was called the son of perdition [or destruction] by Jesus. The other disciples did not know who he was until he fell away to crucify Jesus. Jesus knew who he was and that he had a job to do in crucifying His flesh. At the last supper, He even told him to hurry up and get it over with. Judas was full of rejection and retaliation in his heart. When Jesus corrected him, he became angry just like our factious leader, which is normal for those with spirits of rejection and faction. When he ate the SOP [standing for Son of Perdition], Satan entered him. In darkness, Judas was led to enlist the Jezebel religious establishment to do his dirty work for him. They in turn tried to turn the public away from Jesus so they could kill Him and so that His truths would not be known. It is a clear fact that history repeats with larger and larger groups of people. There is among the disciples today Judases who, when convicted of their errors, will retaliate to crucify Christ among us. Judas hung himself with his own hands -- cut off from the breath or Spirit of God. This is perfectly prophesied in Scripture to happen on a world scale in our day. Slanderers and Railers Are Lost David Eells God says in His Word that slanderers and revilers (or railers) will not be saved without repentance, but in these days many will not return from this path, just as when Jesus came the first time. The word "slanderer" in Greek is diablos, meaning, "accuser" or "devil" and is, in fact, the Spanish translation of "devil". According to Vines Expository Dictionary, these are "those who are given to finding fault with the demeanor and conduct of others, and spreading their innuendos and criticisms in the Church". In a similar way, the word "reviler" or "railer" in Greek is often blasphemeo, meaning "to blaspheme or speak against God or the brethren or both". Those who blaspheme are obviously of the same nature and controlled by the devil and not God. Whenever you see a person or group of people abusing some person like this, remember that these are demons speaking. Demons slander and rail against the righteous. So suspect that their victim is righteous. The only exception to this rule is when God turns their venom on one another in judgment so they reap what they sow. You cannot associate with such people without a little leaven leavening the whole lump, so we are commanded in 1 Corinthians 5 to separate from them. Paul, by God, turned blasphemers, who have fallen away from the faith and defiled their conscience, over to Satan. {1Ti.1:19} holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith: {20} of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme. God still does this, Revilers or railers are placed with the worst of men and rejected by all good men. {1Co.6:9} Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, {10} nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers [railers], nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. "Faction" here is the purpose of slander and railing. It means to separate followers for selfish ambition. We are commanded to separate from such after just two instances because it will leaven you so quickly. {Tit.3:10} A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse.  Gal 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20  idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,  21  envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. "Parties" here is very similar. It means a self-willed opinion  leading into dividing into sects or denominations. Slander and faction are always associated with lying spirits and other forms of deceit. {Psa.50:19} Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit. {20} Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. {21} These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: [But] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes. None of these enter the kingdom of God without repentance. {Rev.21:8} But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [shall be] in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

This is another one of the Psalms that David wrote when he was fleeing for his life because his son Absalom had stolen the hearts of the people and turned them against his father. You can read the history and circumstances of this Psalm in 2 Samuel 15-16. It's likely that this psalm was written early in Absalom's rebellion, when David was still in Jerusalem (vv. 9-11), and the revolt was gathering momentum. If so, then the "friend" of verses 12-14 and 20-21 had to be David's counselor Ahithophel who had sided with Absalom. Psalm 55 reveals four possible approaches to handling the painful problems and battles of life. In verses 1-5, David's first focus was to look within at his own feelings. But before he did that, he cried out to God in prayer (vv. 1-2).  In verses 6-8, David expressed what most of us want to do when we feel like we have been hurt by our friends and family. He wanted to “fly away like a dove to the wilderness and never come back”. Now in verses 9-15, David focused on the reality of the circumstances around him. David wasn't living in denial; he knew what was going on around him. Have you ever known someone who lives in complete denial of their problems? I've known some people who were “so positive” and optimistic that they would never admit that they even had a problem. And as a result, they never attempted to do anything to resolve them or deal with them. It was like they lived in a dream world. David, hurt as he was by his son Absolom's rebellion and revolt to take over the kingdom, still took time to evaluate the situation and continued to directed operations in a masterful manner, worthy of his reputation. What did he see? “For I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it. Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets” (vv. 9-11). He saw violence, confusion, chaos, division, lawlessness, and trouble. He saw destruction of property, and the people being oppressed by deceit and corruption. Goodness! That sounds almost the same as what we see in our beloved country today! Of course this is always what happens when someone or a group of people are selfishly trying to have their own way rather than God's way. It was about money, greed, and power! It was about who was in control! Only God can help David out of this mess and my friend only God can bring peace and resolution to our problems in our country today. Among the rebels, David singled out one person who broke his heart, and that was Ahithophel, "a man like myself." As David's counselor, Ahithophel was not equal to the king in rank or authority, but he was very close to David. They had worshipped the Lord together, but now Ahithophel was counseling David's son to rebel against his father! In verses 20-21, David again mentioned Ahithophel, his violation of the covenant of friendship with David, and his deceptive persuasive speech. But God used Hushai to overrule Ahithophel's plans so that Absalom was defeated and David spared (2 Sam. 17). The picture in verse 15 reminds us of God's judgment on Korah, Dathan and Abiram because of their rebellion against Moses (Num. 16:28-33). David was God's anointed king, and the Lord protected him. We can't live in denial of our problems in our personal lives or country, but we can face them by praying and trusting God to do what only He can do. And in the meantime, He “He will sustain us” in the midst of them! God bless!

What is your natural response to the love, power, and glory of God? Do your lips exclaim hallelujah? Do you sing with joy? Do you praise with a heart of gratitude? That's what Brandon Lake's song "Gratitude" leads us to do. And it's reflective of another song in Scripture. King David was in a literal wilderness season when he wrote Psalm 63. Let's consider his song together in light of his circumstances. In this episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Follow the cross-reference Complete a word study Consult an outside resource Meditate on Scripture Make a list The free one-page PDF Episode Guide to guide your study - Episode 460 Download Choosing Psalm 63 because our theme verse matches the lyrics of our song - Psalm 63:4 Following the cross-reference to 2 Samuel 13-19 to read about David and Absolom and what led to David's wilderness experience Considering the head space David may have been in when he wrote Psalm 63 Weary - 2 Samuel 16:14 Weary and discouraged - 2 Samuel 17:2 Hungry and thirsty - 2 Samuel 17:29 Reading Psalm 63 with the background knowledge of 2 Samuel 13-19 The ark was not with David in the wilderness - 2 Samuel 15:24-26 God's steadfast love is better than life - Psalm 63:3 A word study on God's steadfast love - Bible Project Video Hallelujah means "praise ye YAH (Yahweh)" - GotQuestions.org Article Making a list of the methods of praise we see in Psalm 63   I'm not saying you shouldn't seek His provision, but this psalm has taught me there is a time for praise and gratitude that is all about God and not just about what He can do for me.   More Than a Song Playlist Additional Resources Lyrics - NewReleaseToday.com Martin H.
