  1. This is the Truth in regards to the One and ONLY Alahim (Hebrew for Almighty One), the Creator of heaven and earth and of mankind and of all things, YAHUAH !!! The Sacred Name that He himself proclaimed to Moses on Mount Sinai which the pagans have tried to cover up and replace with titles such as “Lord” or “Lord God” over 7000 times in the bible, titles which were used for babylonian false gods (ba’al). His Name is the biggest revelation in the whole Torah (True Word and Law of YAHUAH) and it is the first Commandment given to us as an eternal memorial to know and address our One Creator by His True Name YAHUAH and not by pagan titles!! He clearly says to not take His name to vain !! (3rd Commandment). The other most crucial Truth which they have tried to twist and pervert with their lies and through which they have deceived people into praising the beast is the name of our Glorious Messiah the Son of YAHUAH and his true biblical name is Yahusha (the name His Father in heaven gave him not men, as the original hebrew text shows us) not jesus christ!! Yahusha (YAHUAH-yasha) translates as YAHUAH is Salvation! Because he would come in the name of the Father in heaven to bring His Salvation!! The name “jesus christ” does not embody the Father’s name but something completely else!! It was created by emperor costantine at the council of nicea in an attempt to bring unification to the roman empire by bringing all the pagan gods who were being worshipped at distant parts of the empire (all names of Tammuz the babylonian false god, the names simply changed after being dispersed from the tower of babel) into this one false image of the Messiah who could be accepted by all pagans unified by a false “universal religion”. The many pagan names were narrowed down to the most worshiped and influental of the time, hesus (druid false god), horus (egyptian false god), and krishna (eastern false god) which later evolved into jesus h. christ. (See https://www.sabbathcovenant.com/doctrine/hesus_krishna.htm and https://boatrvgroup.com/sabbathcovenant/christianitythegreatdeception/newgodcreated.htm The first letters of these three names in greek chi, xi and sigma are actually the letters which were shown to John in revelation to be the symbol of the beast and they were added together in a numerical value in error by the translators which would make for the number 666 hence the misconception that this number is the symbol of the beast ( see https://sabbathcovenant.com/newdoctrine/jesus_christ_is_the_antichrist.htm ). In light of this new false religion and false image of the Messiah was also changed the Set-Apart 7th Day Shabbat of YAHUAH (4th Eternal Commandment!!) to “sunday” offering worship to their babylonian pagan trinity sungod! Christianity carries all the babilonian pagan customs and doctrines to this day and has deceived so many people with its false trinity and incarnation doctrines (The heavenly Father is One he is not a trinity!!) its pagan holydays and day of worship (not the true ordained feasts of our Creator commanded in The Torah) its false teachings about the Law (the Law was not done away with at the “cross” (which was actually a tree)! Yahusha our Messiah the Son of the Almighty said so himself!- Matthew 5:18. The decrees demanding our death for disobedience were. We are to be obedient to the 10 Commandments of our Heavenly Father just like Yahusha our Master said we should! John 13:15-17, Matthew 7:21-23, also 1 John 2:3-6. Written in Stone means Eternal!!) and its false image of the Messiah (the beast in disguise) which puts the glory of YAHUAH the One True Creator at the name and doctrine of the lawless one!! I’m not asking you to believe me or agree with me i’m inviting you to investigate and seek the Truth for yourself because the end days are upon us!! I’ll share two websites that have a LOT of information regarding The Truth of our Heavenly Father: “www.promotethetruth.com” “www.sabbathcovenant.com’ and some youtube channels which dive on these topics: “Parable of the Vineyard”, “YAHUSHA KING”, “The Sabbath Covenant”, “Hidden One of YAH”, “Messenger Of The Name”. Whoever has a heart for the Truth let them hear! Seek YAHUAH the One and Only Living Alahim and His True Word!!

  2. God won't let the evils of others stop His plans, or stop you from coming to Him: so don't let your own sins separate you, but repent (turn from: recognize sin as something to be saved from, not dabbled in!) when you become aware, then leave them at the foot of the cross.

    I've a long way to go, but Jesus is worthy.

  3. THAT'S WHY I SURRENDER MY WILL & DESIRES TO YOU MY LORD…BECAUSE I HAVE FAITH & TRUST YOU WILL BRING IT ALL FULL CIRCLE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF MY LIFE & YOUR GLORY…amen I LOVE YOU JESUS

  4. In terms of the evil in the world in light of God's eternal plan. We are the clay, He is the potter. Adhering to eternal truth is vital. The passage in Daniel with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, when they were about to be cast into the fiery furnace for dis- obeying Nebuchadnezzar's edicts, they said " If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. BUT EVEN IF HE DOES NOT, let it be known to you, o king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up". The point being is there are no guarantees in this sinful world. For Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego it turned out well (on this earth) after trial. But even if it doesn't, our treasures are stored up in heaven (i.e. eternity). No one is guaranteed bliss on this sinful planet.

  5. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;(Romans 3:23)
    We have violated His moral law the 10 commandments. Therefore, we are all heading to hell because of our sins. However the Lord Jesus Christ can save us from Hell, if we Humble ourselves before the almighty God YAHWEH. Acknowledge that We have sinned against Him. So, Repent of your sins; confess and forsake your sins to Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Believe, trust and have faith on our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ his son; for the forgiveness of your sins and for your eternal salvation before it’s too late.

    Hebrews 9:27
    King James Version
    27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

    Did you know you’re part of the ultimate statistic, 10 out of 10 people die. One day your heart will stop beating and you will be dead! The Bible says you’ll then be judged by the holy and righteous God who created this universe. You’ll be judged for every word, thought, and action in your life. Will you be innocent or guilty?

    Let’s check the standard, the Ten Commandments. Have you ever lied (even a “white” lie)? (Revelation 21:8)Have you ever stolen anything (value is irrelevant and includes downloading or copying movies illegally)? If you’ve lusted, you’ve committed adultery in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-30)

    Have you had sex out of marriage? It’s called fornication It is a sin.
    (Hebrew 13:4)

    If you’ve hated someone, the Bible says you’re a murderer. (1 John 3:15)If you’ve done any of these things, you will be guilty, and end up in Hell. God is perfect and He hates sin, but He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross to take the punishment you deserve. Then He rose from the grave – defeating death.

    Repent (turn from your sins) and trust in Jesus Christ to receive forgiveness and everlasting life. Read the Bible to learn about God and how to live.(acts 20-21)

    Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
    King James Version
    13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

    Do God’s will, plan and purpose in your life; these are above and beyond, immeasurable compare to your grandest dream.

    When you surrender yourself to our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ; He will strengthen us, enlighten us, empower us to overcome sins and live above sins in our lives; because our sins separate us from the Lord; unless we confess and forsake them. Therefore, we shall receive mercy (proverbs 28:13)

    Romans 8:1
    King James Version
    8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    If you are walking in the spirit and if you are a child of God you cannot continue to sin. ( 1 John 3:6-10)

    Galatians 5:19-23
    King James Version
    19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

    20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

    21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

    22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

    * if you have the fruits of the spirits you cannot continue watching pornography , telling lies , stealing , sex out of marriage/fornication , adultery, remember the Lord is watching and he knows everything that comes to our minds and heart because He made our brain and heart; moreover our whole being he created us.

    Stop sinning and changed if we really love Him we will obey Him. (John 14:15) (1 John 5:2-3)
    The Lord jesus said Unless we born again; we cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)Be born again; being born again is not a religion it is the power of a God to changed lives.

    Through the 10 commandments He gave us the knowledge of sins. Therefore, we can stop sinning and changed with Lord Jesus Christ help.

    He will give us a new heart and a new desires; we will hate sin and love our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ righteousness .

    Repent and trust in our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. He will help us to go and sin no more ( John 8:11) (John 5:14) if we walk with Him moment by moment and be sensible to his voice and obey Him.

    Read our bible daily.

    Matthew 7:21-23
    King James Version
    21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

    22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    1 Corinthians 6:9-10
    New King James Version
    9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. (A)Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

    * We are all sinners. However, our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, the father and the Holy Ghost giving us a chance to Changed to repent of our sins and do what is right in his eyes; to obey our Lord and SAVIOR Jesus Christ is to love Him with all our hearts, mind, soul, and strength . Trust our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ He will never let us down.

    2 Timothy 2:19
    King James Version
    19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

  6. //  If ever we needed THE LORD  before-we SURE do need HIM now.

    ("PRAYERS destroy the enemies plans." /the late Pastor Stephen Darby):

    GOD'S message to ALL believers IS /and herein lies our POWER:
    2 CHRONICLES 7:14:

    Then if MY people, who are called by MY NAME will humble themselves, if they will PRAY and seek ME and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will HEAL/RESTORE their land.

    (HE did it for the righteous kings in the OLD TESTAMENT.) (KJV  )
    HE can surely do it for us.

    GOD will Bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you (HIS people.)     Pass it on…
