COUNTING THE COST
The Godhead paused the virtual time run again. It’s been around 3,715 earth years since the trial of Lucifer and the refurbishing of the earth. To the Godhead, it’s only been 3.7 days into the project of proving their righteousness. Romans 3:21-26

The last shot on their giant screen showed the Hebrews camped on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Lucifer and his minions are in full combat mode with their hate for the Godhead being unleashed upon humanity, who are made in the image of God.

THE BETRAYAL
Lucifer had been created as an anointed cherub, full of wisdom, and one of the most powerful angels. The Godhead realized that Lucifer was using all his skills and power to derail the plan of bringing the Messianic redeemer promised to Adam, and would continue to resist until the bitter end. Ezekiel 28:14-17

Some six years ago a young couple from Alaska contacted our ministry because they had heard me speak on Omega Man Radio. We took Marty and Sandy1 through deliverance and Sandy was healed from a sickness which she had struggled with for a long time.

Some six months later they felt called into the ministry, and so they sold their condo in Anchorage, and joined our ministry in California. Things were great during the first year. Sandy became our office manager and treasurer and both of them were trained in deliverance. I was looking forward to the future as we served the Lord together.

I knew that Marty’s father was a wealthy builder/contractor in Virginia but it was omitted that he wanted Marty to take over the business. Instead of being honest and simply informing us that he wanted to leave, Marty decided to create strife within the ministry, as He and Sandy became disgruntled and they enticed another staff member to leave with them. Sandy even went so far as to call church people and tell them to stop coming because we were a cult and stealing money. They also contacted county officials and spun more lies.

The Godhead created Lucifer to be the greatest angel. He had full access to the throne room, but instead of loving God, he became a God-hater. The couple from Alaska became Luciferian when their love turned to hate. I know how God felt when He was betrayed by someone He loved and trusted.

THERE ARE LOSSES
Just like a military general makes assessments of the enemy, the Godhead knew that they would have to repeatedly intervene to save the bloodline of the future Messiah.

They also knew that there would be heavy losses in the form of human life and hell would be filled to the brim with people who were deceived by Lucifer and joined his rebellion. Isaiah 5:13-23

The invasion of Normandy during World War 2 saw some 175,000 allied troops land on different beaches with about 3,400 men killed on the first day. Once the beaches were secured, the death toll was 37,000 allied soldiers. General Eisenhower and his staff knew that many men would die to destroy Nazi Germany. The governments of Great Britain and the United States made the decision to sacrifice some of their soldiers in order to get rid of the mad dictator.

The Godhead knew that Lucifer, his followers, and the human race did not have the capacity to understand the eternal ramifications of what they were doing in the moment. This realization would not be known until the end of the Great White Throne Judgment when all created beings receive full understanding of the Godhead. Isaiah 55:5-11

THE CALLING OF GOD
I lived in Salt Lake City in 1967. God spoke to me in January and called me into full time ministry. I decided to give up my engineering job and moved to California to attend seminary in 1969. It is now 54 years later and I can wholeheartedly say that it was the correct decision. My classmates in Sweden worked and made money but they left it all behind when their time on earth came to an end. All my investments are in heaven waiting to be redeemed. Are you living for God or for yourself?

William Wilberforce was a British politician and ardently fought to abolish slavery until his death in 1833. He faced a lot of persecution and resistance, but he was on God’s side and slavery was eventually abolished in England.

There are millions of pedophiles in America. These men and women are addicted to child sex and they are willing to pay large amounts of money to satisfy their sinful desires. The Mexican cartels are responding to this demand by rounding up thousands of children and taking them to the United States to be sold on the sex market. Christians need to take notice and start speaking about these horrible crimes.

SELECTING A SUCCESSOR
The Godhead had chosen Joshua as a successor to Moses. He was different from the rest of the Hebrews in that he wanted an intimate relationship with God and knew how to find the presence of the Lord. Exodus 33:11

Joshua had been ordained by God through the laying on of hands by Moses. Numbers 27:18-23

God told me it was time to find a successor in 1999. My nephew, Charles, was re- evaluating his life at the time and came to me for advice. I had dedicated him to the Lord as a baby and knew there was a calling on his life. God had shut certain doors in his life, leaving Charles feeling lost and uncertain what to do. I asked him to move to Sacramento and that was the beginning of change in his life. Twenty-one years later he has been licensed by our ministry and actively helps me each week.

God is looking for more people to join our ministry and sustain its progress into the future. How are you serving the Lord?

God wanted continuity with the Hebrew children. The same goes for every church and ministry doing the will of God on earth.

ACTIVATING JOSHUA
The Godhead resumed the virtual time run and Jesus met with Joshua to outline the plan. Joshua 1:1-9

Once Joshua was commissioned by Jesus, he took charge of the Israelites. verses 10- 15

The people responded to Joshua’s leadership. verses 16-18

1 The names have been changed to protect their privacy.

Remember, it’s not so important how you begin your life after salvation, but how you finish it!

Do you have an ear to hear with?
