Summary
This Broadcast commences a detailed analysis of the Seven Areas of Engagement that are necessary to develop a DEEP Personal Relationship with the Almighty Creator. This Programme focusses on “Decision”, the importance of a quality decision that the Almighty exists and a decision to draw close to Him.
This article was Broadcast on W4CY Radio.
Preamble
Good day!
The Almighty Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You!
If you are an unbeliever, the Creator has said regarding you, "Why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do not believe I exist?"
If you are a believer, He has also said, "Why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority if they do not have a Deep Personal Relationship with me, and have not proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?" I ask you to please consider that.
We are going to discuss in today's programme further components of what it means to have a Deep Personal Relationship with the Almighty and how you get there. I want to stress that I am speaking to you personally. It does not matter where you come from, what your race is, what your age is, what your level of education is, you can become a Friend of the Almighty if you so choose. The only thing standing between you and a deep personal relationship with the Almighty is you in person; no one elses religion, no denomination, not your friend, not your wife, not your husband, it is you. You can make a choice, you can draw close, it is entirely up to you. I am here to help you do that.
Today we are going to further look at Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Almighty. We looked at the headlines last week and we are going to go into the detail now. In this context, the Almighty has said, "I created human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost no person understands this let alone seek such a relationship with me."
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator -- Overview
An overview of today's programme, we are going to investigate the first point, which is “Decision” in more detail. We will look at the need for a deep settled assurance that the Almighty exists. We will look at an approach to reaching a decision. We will look at asking for confirmation. We will talk a bit about the “Trash Heap of Heaven” where you really do not want to end up. We will talk about the fact that praying to an indeterminate entity is not acceptable. I will advise you that if you make a decision to draw close to the Almighty, there will be opposition and that it is vital to deal with all sin. If you are coming to believe now for the first time then there are seven days of grace and I will advise you to rehearse the covenant and tell you how to do that. I repeat what I have said at several previous programmes, a “Friend earnestly, intentionally, and actively seeks relationship and cares deeply for their Friend”, will you do that for the Almighty starting now?
Introduction
A bit of introduction.
Who am I? James Robertson, I have a PhD in Civil Engineering, 25 years as a management consultant in South Africa, now in the UK for just under six years, Chief Operating Officer of a small group of companies.
I have spent over 26 years actively seeking to draw close to the Almighty and growing in my relationship with Him and I have written and published a lot about that.
End Time Issue Ministries is my not-for-profit ministry, which is the vehicle through which I have my Internet publishing, I have a number of mailing lists, I have a number of websites, this radio programme, and shortly we will have a number of physical books with my teachings in them.
This programme, "The Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You" flows from my realisation that there is nothing more important in this life. We were created to have a Deep Personal Relationship with the Almighty and to be His Friends. That is what He created us for and that is why we are here. There is no other reason. It does not matter what else you have got in mind, your football team, or your basketball team, or your baseball team, or rugby team or whatever. It is fluff and stuff. You are here to have a relationship with the Almighty, first and foremost, and I sincerely hope that coming out of this programme you will choose to do that. You can see more information on my website at www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org for more information.
Questions from Last Week's Programme
Some questions from last week's programme: "How do we know if we are getting closer to the right path to god?" God incorrectly, it should be Yah or the Almighty or the Creator. How do you know you are getting closer to the Almighty? If you follow the guidance that I am giving you in these programmes, I will expect you to start hearing His voice, I would expect you to start getting guidance, I would encourage you to be praying prayers like "Judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly." I will encourage you to be praying all the directional prayers that I shared with you a few weeks ago.
Incidentally if you want back issues, they are on the W4CY website, or else you can email me at James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org. You will know if you are actively seeking but you need to understand that if you just go about this in a haphazard way without real determination, you are not going to get close to Him. Getting close to Him requires active thought, active actions.
Next question: "How are we to know what teachings are the correct ones to follow to get closer?" Pretty much the same point. You need to get closer to Him, you need to speak to Him, you need to set yourself regardless seeking truth not error. You need to pray prayers like "Show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it," like, "Lead me into all truth by your spirit," like, "Judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly." You need to fast. You need to actively seek truth.
Next question: "What is the best way to grow closer to the almighty?" Well, the best way to grow closer to the Almighty is first of all to decide that you are going to do that and then I would like to believe that what I am teaching on this programme every week and we are transcribing these teachings and we are republishing them as written documents on a regular basis is the best way I know, not to say there are not other ways, but if you follow what I am teaching you will get closer to the Almighty.
Next question: "If we are listening to you and learning how do we know we are getting the right message?" Well, the same principle applies ‑ never ever, ever place your reliance on another human being. By all means learn what you can from me, learn what you can from other human beings, but at the end of the day the only arbiter of whether what you are learning is right is the Almighty. So press in, get to know Him, get a relationship with Him, pray the prayers that I advocate and you will get to know that you are getting the right message. After awhile you will start getting the message directly and you won't necessarily need everything, although I have done a lot of hard work over 26 years. So I have written a lot and those teachings will soon be available as books, they are already on the website, so it will help you to shortcut some of these things.
Then from an email, just to stress, the correct name of the Almighty is Yah the Eternally Self Existing. You can also refer to Him as the Creator, as the Almighty. He is not God, and He is not the Lord. Those are pagan names. It is an insult to Him to use them. He extended grace to us for many years to use those names but that grace has been withdrawn. You need to use the correct name.
Body of Article
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator
So we are looking at “Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator”. Just to recap that He has said, "I created human beings, this planet, and this universe for men and women to be my friends, my companions and to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost no person understands this let alone seek such a relationship with me."
If you press in to this series of programmes with me for the duration, you will learn how to get close to Him. He has also said, "The rules of engagement between myself (Yah) and Satan prevent me telling you anything you do not know unless you ask me or do something to put yourself in a place to hear new information from me." Again, I stress, a minute ago I mentioned the directional prayers that I taught on a few weeks ago. Please get hold of that teaching and apply and pray those prayers. Most of those prayers are on the website. There is a tab called "Prayers," click on that and you will find a whole lot of articles on prayer.
Father has also said, "I (Yah) am limited in speaking to you by the mental barriers you have put in place with regard to what you believe I can say to you and by your vocabulary." So our society, our culture, our religion, our denomination puts programming in place as we grow from childhood about the things of the Almighty. If you have grown up believing something that is wrong, it is very difficult to change unless you make a conscious decision to change. That is why those prayers that I mentioned a couple of times ago are so important.
Then remember that the purpose of serving Yah is not for what He will give us in this life, but for what we will give Him in this life in exchange for His rewards to us in the life to come. So yes, He does want to heal you, He does want to prosper you, but that is not why you should serve Him. You should serve Him because you want to please Him and because you want to qualify for a high throne for eternity.
Decision
So the first component of drawing close to the Almighty is that you need to make a quality decision and you need to walk out that decision. So fundamentally the first step that is required to draw close to the Almighty Creator whose true name is Yah the Eternally Self Existing is a quality decision that He exists and thereafter a quality decision to draw close to Him. It is vital to understand that we are talking here of a profound and deep realisation that this world and you yourself cannot exist without there being a Creator. That it is impossible for all around you to have come into existence without an intelligent, creative agency.
Once you have taken a deep decision that you know that you know that you know that He exists, you can move on to choosing to draw close to Him. It is so important to seek a deep settled assurance that He exists. If at this point in time as you listen to this, you do not have a deep and settled conviction of the reality of the Almighty's existence, then this is the first bridge for you to across.
Deep settled assurance that the Almighty exists
There are two elements to deciding that the Almighty Creator exists. One is a rational, intellectual decision. The other is a deep settled assurance of the reality of His existence. The rational, intellectual decision should be reasonably easy for any thinking person who calmly considers the massive complexity, creative genius and manufacturing precision of the Universe, the Earth, the plant realm, the animal realm and human beings coupled to an understanding of the level of engineering precision that was required to design and assemble all of this, including the complementary complexity required for the sexual reproduction that occurs throughout the more advanced elements of plants, animals and particularly human beings. That intellectual aha may be all that you need to come to a deep conviction that the Almighty exists. If however, you have reached the level of intellectual agreement that there must have been a creative agency but have not reached the settled assurance of His existence, I would suggest that you ask Him to reveal himself to you in a way that you are able to comprehend. Even if you do have an intellectual aha, you may still want to reach a level of deep assurance of His existence. This is so important. A superficial decision that He exists is really not going to help you in the long-term. If you react with doubts and not really sure whether He really is there, how do you draw close to Him? It is worth taking a bit of time to reach a quality decision and I am going to talk about that now.
In asking Him to reveal Himself to you it is vital to understand that He is restricted by the "Rules of Engagement" from doing anything that you have not formally authorized Him to do in your life, which is why those prayers are so important. The "Rules of Engagement" are the rules that were agreed between the Almighty and Satan when they entered into this thing called "The Contest" when Satan was on the point of being cast into the Lake of Fire and he challenged the Almighty saying that “if you put me on Earth with my followers with these human beings you are creating, I guarantee you that after 7,000 years not one of them will believe you exist”. And Father agreed to do that. They agreed some terms. One of those terms was that neither of them can directly disclose information to a human being that person does not already have unless that human being gives either the Almighty or the Satanic realm authority to do that. So it is really, really important to pray the right prayers, ask the right questions, give Father a blank cheque to work in your life, that is why those prayers are so important.
Accordingly, it is vital that in asking Father Yah to reveal himself to you, you pray in a manner that opens the way for Him to move as He best sees fit to enable you to have confirmation of His reality. It is also vital to understand that He is offering a huge reward for serving Him in this life. The ultimate prize is a position of great esteem, glory, and authority in Heaven with Him for eternity. As much as He is lonely in this age, because of the very small number of people who truly serve Him and seek to become His Friends, He has stressed to me that He is not in any way desperate. In other words, He has no need to prove to you that He exists. He firmly holds that you can validate His existence from the most elementary intelligent consideration of yourself and the world around you. Accordingly, any form of challenge to Him to prove His existence will at best be met with silence and no response and at worst, you will be given to Demons and Satanic Messengers or Angels to get your answers. In other words, you will be led seriously astray. Pride, challenging the Father, demanding that He prove His existence is not the way to go. He is not interested in that. You will get yourself into a lot of trouble if you go down that route.
An Approach to Reaching a Decision
I would like to outline an approach to reaching a decision. I suggest you adopt the following broad approach, remember always that He wants an individual relationship with you that meets you where you are now and is tailored to your knowledge, experience, character, etc. There is no recipe. What follows is a suggestion only. Take whatever measures seem right to you at the time you decide you need to ask for confirmation and depending on the circumstances that pertain at that moment in time. Remember also that He hears all your thoughts and it is not necessary to speak out loud. In fact, as a general principle with regard to all major elements of interaction with Him, it is preferable to speak to Him in your heart and your thoughts and not out loud where Demons and fallen Satanic Messengers {Satanic Angels} can hear you and intervene to counterfeit or mislead you. It is really important to understand that. Father can hear your thoughts. The Demons and the fallen Messengers, the fallen Angels, cannot hear your thoughts. So you can have a dialogue with the Father and nobody will know anything about it. The minute you speak it out loud, every spirit in the surroundings knows exactly what you said.
Discussing deep plans with the Almighty in an unsanctified environment is not a good idea. There are prayers to pray to sanctify your immediate vicinity. Again, have a listen to the teachings on prayer or email me and I will send you the teachings on prayer or go to the website, you will find a whole lot of teachings on prayer. Realise also that you should not dictate to the Almighty how He should answer you. He is the Almighty Creator. It is not for us to dictate anything to Him. He has a very low tolerance for this in the light of His experience with the adversary Satan.
Continuing with an approach to reaching a decision, I suggest you do something along the lines of the following: find a quiet place, get on your knees before Him, in other words humble yourself before Him (I find that on your knees or flat on your face on a hard floor before Him are the physical postures in which I hear Him most clearly) and pray something along the lines of "Father Yah, James says that you exist, I sort of get this from considering the world around me but I am struggling to overcome all my prejudices and deep seated beliefs held in my life to this point. I humbly ask you to reveal yourself to me in whatever way you choose, I ask you to give me a sign, to speak to me, to reveal your existence in any way that you deem appropriate and I ask you for the discernment and the wisdom to recognize you when you speak to me. Amen."
You could pray this standing on a bus, you do not have to get on your knees or wherever you are at the moment, the realisation hits you that He must exist. There are no limits on where and how you pray subject to the guidelines given above. He may answer you audibly. He may speak to you through another person. He may give you some sign that could not have come from anyone else but Him. Be aware that He is supernatural. He is above and beyond nature. So He is not constrained in the ways He can do things and therefore He may simply reveal Himself to you by doing something that could not happen under normal circumstances.
In my case, He revealed himself to me by speaking audibly to me in a locked and empty room and directing me to contact a friend who was a believer who told me what I needed to know. He did this in response to prayer by my father who was deeply concerned about my situation. This happened when I was nearly 40 years old, about 27 years from the point at which I first believed at a very basic level.
Asking for Confirmation
In asking for confirmation, in asking for proof that Father exists, if you receive a sign and are unsure of it or appear not to receive a sign, there is nothing to prevent you asking for confirmation or clarification along the lines of "Father I think that … (whatever happened) was from you, but I am not sure. Please will you give me another sign or confirm that sign." If you sincerely engage with the Almighty with a clear intention of getting to know Him, He will meet you wherever you are. In the early days of my walk with Him after He had spoken to me, I made all sorts of simple mistakes. I was being guided by a church that was full of error, but I did not know at that time that they were full of error, but He gently guided me every step of the way. He gave me confirmation after confirmation where He asked me to do something and I was not sure if it was His will. So, for example, He would say "Pick up that hitchhiker on the side of the road," and I would be uncomfortable picking up a hitchhiker in the middle of nowhere and drive past and I would feel guilty and He said to me "I would really want you to pick up that hitchhiker" and I would end up doing a U turn and going back to collect that person and discover that they were a believer that that asked Father about something that I had the answer to and I was greatly blessed by those situations. He will meet you wherever you are.
The Trash Heap of Heaven
I want to draw your attention to what Father calls "The Trash Heap of Heaven." Once you are certain that the Almighty exists, the next step is to decide to draw close to Him and to serve Him for the rest of your time on Earth and for Eternity. Note that you do not have to make this decision. The vast majority of people who do make a decision that the Almighty exists stop at that point, barring perhaps a few feeble attempts to serve Him. These people will end up in the Outer Darkness in Heaven, a place of total darkness with no hint of light. It is also cold and uncomfortable as well. Father refers to it as the "Trash Heap of Heaven." This is a place for those who decided that Father existed and then ignored Him for the rest of their lives. If you ignore Him for the rest of your life from the point that you believe, then realise that He is entirely justified in ignoring you for Eternity. Not the right way to go about things, but the majority do this.
And understand, this is not about Him being ugly. It simply reflects the reality that when He designed Heaven, He did not expect anyone to just believe and then do nothing. He was preparing a mansion for those people who would be His Friends. His expectation was that Heaven would be filled with people who were committed to Him and devoted to Him and serving Him. He did not allow for the possibility that someone would believe He existed and then ignore Him for the rest of their lives. So there was nowhere left to put them, except for the Outer Darkness. In the same way that He did not expect people who did not believe to stay on Earth. He expected to discard them in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone as failed experiments and it is only because of The Contest that He cannot do that and so the whole arrangement of people becoming Demons and Ancestor Spirits is also highly suboptimal because it was not intended.
If as you hear what I am saying you realise that you are headed for the Outer Darkness. I suggest you do the following: Find a quiet place, get on your knees before Him and pray something along the lines of the following: "Father Yah I believe that you exist but I have just realised that I have almost totally ignored you since I first believed. I now realise that I am headed for the Outer Darkness to be completely distained and disregarded in Heaven for Eternity. I repent and I ask you to forgive my gross sin of ignoring you and to give me another chance. Father, please help me to come to a place of serving you faithfully. I desire to Overcome to the end and become your friend. Please help me to do this."
Obviously only pray the above if you mean it sincerely and intend to do something about your decision. Then do all that you find to do including all that is set out in the rest of these teachings. If you are only prepared to go partway and regard a less prestigious rank than Friend as acceptable or the maximum that you are willing to put in the hard yards for, then tone down the above prayer appropriately.
I cannot stress enough, it is your choice. There is no one standing in the way of you qualifying for the highest of High Thrones in Heaven for Eternity, except you. The only reason you would not get there is because of you. If you put human beings on a pedestal, if you worship your Pastor, if you cop out and rely on the Church to teach you, well, you get what you signed up for. Do not rely on humans to determine where you go. Learn from me, read my teachings, discern what is true and what is not, put into practice what is good, leave the dross, leave the chaff, just go for it.
Praying to an Indeterminate Entity is Not Acceptable
I need to stress that praying to an indeterminate entity is not acceptable. Note that praying to some indeterminate entity called God or The LORD or whatever is not belief, that is just praying to some indeterminate entity. If you are going to pray to Father Yah, do so as the Creator of all things, the Almighty, your Creator. Show Him respect. Humble yourself and pray with a deep certainty that He does exist that He does want a deep relationship with you, that He does hear you and desires to answer your prayers. If you start out on that footing you will find that He answers you and in many cases grants your requests.
In one of my early teachings in this programme, I went into the true name of the Almighty and I will encourage you to get that recording or get the transcript. God is a pagan name. Father gave us grace to use that name, but that was withdrawn in 2003 when Satan was sent to the Pit. The same with The LORD. Do not call Him God, do not call Him The LORD. His name is Yah. I am sure you would not like it. The way He put it to me is “how would you like if your family called you by the name of your worst enemy?” That is what it is like.
Do not call Him God. It hurts Him. It upsets Him. Do not call Him The LORD. They are both the names of Pagan Satanic entities. Note also that it is not necessary to get on your knees or get in a quiet place, you can speak to Him at any time, in a crowded room, anywhere. He will always hear you. Depending on where you are spiritually, you may not always hear Him. One gets on one's knees in a quiet place in order to better hear His still small voice. I cannot stress this enough, He hears everything that every single human being on this planet thinks or says. He hears everything that every Demon on this planet thinks or says. He hears everything that every Messenger or Angel on this planet thinks or says. He knows exactly what is going on. The problem is not with Him. If you cannot hear Him, you need to do some work so that you can hear Him.
Note also that you should not choose to serve the Almighty Creator because someone has told you that He is going to prosper you or heal you or whatever. He is not a commodity to be purchased. Yes, it is possible that He may heal you, He may prosper you. But the Forces of Darkness will be deeply upset by your decision and will actively seek to oppose you, trip you up, lead you astray, and generally keep you from walking out a decision. That is why those who achieve great stature in Heaven are called Overcomers. They achieve that illustrious status by overcoming sin, overcoming temptation, overcoming opposition, overcoming their own weaknesses and fallibility to walk totally with the Almighty Creator.
Expect Opposition
As I said a moment ago, expect opposition. Be warned that you will find that from the moment you take a quality decision to draw close to the Almighty, you will encounter ongoing and sustained opposition. You will find yourself being judged for unrepented sin. You will suffer loss. You will find it harder to do business. You will find that people who were your friends become your enemies. You have taken a position against the mighty one, the God of this world, Satan, the Adversary, and the Forces of Darkness will rally round to oppose you in every possible way.
The only way to overcome this opposition is to deal with all sin in your life, and to resolutely seek to serve the Almighty in every possible way, in every area of your life. I would go so far as to say to you that if you make what you consider to be a quality decision and start walking that decision out, and you are not experiencing opposition in some shape or form, there is something wrong. You are obviously then not causing the Forces of Darkness concern and they are leaving you alone.
Note that most prosperity teaching is not from the Creator. Do not sign up with the Almighty on the basis of what He can do for you in this life. Sign up on the basis of the reward that there will be for you in the Life to Come IF you serve Him faithfully in this life and then be willing to make sacrifices to serve Him. And if that seems too hard, remember that you always have the option of the Outer Darkness, or if you have not yet believed the option of being one of more than 100 billion Ancestor Spirits or Demons roaming the Earth, governed by vicious and perverse Demonic masterminds who regard brutality and human sacrifices as the highest forms of reward, who are engaged in a vicious spiritual battle. Choose who you will serve.
Deal with All Sin
As I said a minute ago, once you have made a quality decision, you need to deal with ALL sin in your life. I have found that a lot of people do not believe that they can live a life without sin. Yahooshua (Jesus) lived a life without sin. That is why he was Resurrected, that is why he is the most powerful created being in the universe. It is absolutely possible for us to live without sin. It will take us time to live without sin, but it is totally doable. I would say to you that in this context a nonnegotiable requirement for successfully serving the Almighty is to deal with all sin in your life, and energetically work to come to a point of living a life that is free of sin. That is the only way that you can serve the Almighty and walk in victory. The other option is to continue with your sin at such a level that the Forces of Darkness regard you as an ally and prosper you to let you think that you are going in the right direction. The problem then is what happens when you stand before the Throne of the Almighty Creator on the day of your death. Note that if you have just accepted Father for the first time, you should immediately pray, "Father I ask you to fill me with your Spirit to assist me to serve you more effectively." Raise your hands to Heaven and expect to receive. You should pray this daily and you should sing worship songs that speak of being filled with the Spirit of the Almighty. Refer the collection of worship songs on the website that was presented in earlier teachings.
Seven Days of Grace
There are seven days of Grace when somebody first comes to believe. If you have just believed for the first time, there is a seven-day period of Grace during which no evil can come near to you and during which Father is able to pour out His spirit and pour out learning on you in a way that will never again be possible. If at all possible, take a week off work and devote the entire week to prayer, fasting, worship, study. There is much material on my website that is more than sufficient to keep you reading for more than a week. This article on which this talk is based on the Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty is a vital place to go for in that seven-day period. If you cannot take all that time off work, take off whatever time you can and spend as much time as you can outside of working hours seeking to be filled with His Spirit to be Anointed, to be cleansed of sin, to learn, etc. Refer to further recommendations in this regard later on in this series of teachings. It is so important and if you are in the situation where you are potentially leading others to come to relationship with Father or knowledge of Father, if you are a shepherd or evangelist in an existing ministry, if you are just a believer who witnesses to others, please be aware that if somebody is coming to belief for the first time, it is so important that their decision is a quality decision and that for the next seven or eight days they take every possible opportunity to get as close to Father as they possibly can. It is basically a Honeymoon period where there is huge Grace, there is huge favour, huge spiritual power, really, really important. Somebody who goes through that week with a really strong support and strong teachings and strong ministry will always go ahead strongly. They would not look back.
Rehearse the Covenant
As soon as you have taken a quality decision, you need to rehearse the covenant. Once you have believed for the first time or have now repented of your sin and error and taken a quality decision to serve the Almighty, it is advisable to take note of the Covenant between believers and the Almighty and to rehearse the terms of that Covenant. The most powerful Covenant available, there are many, is the Covenant made by Yahooshua, you may know him as Jesus, but you insult him grievously by using this Pagan name and accordingly I advise you to pray to be grafted into this Covenant.
If you come out of a Christian background, you have almost certainly been exposed to the covenant at some level. If you come out of a Muslim or Jewish background, it may be a bit strange to you, but it is the strongest Covenant available and I strongly recommend it. The Jews have a Covenant through Moses, the Muslims have a Covenant through Muhammad, which is primarily a covenant of works, not nearly as powerful. At the first possible opportunity, obtain some grape juice or red wine, preferably red grape juice and preferably not carbonated, you can use red wine as well, but I prefer grape juice. Also obtain some bread, preferably unleavened, some shops sell Jewish Matzos, or a plain wheat biscuit or, failing that just ordinary bread. You can rehearse the covenant at any time and I recommend that you do so another on a regular basis, particularly in the first few years after you have taken a deep and strong decision.
Find yourself a quiet place and pray along the lines of "Father I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I recall that on the night that he was betrayed, Yahooshua took the bread and broke it and gave it to his followers, and said 'This is my body given for you, do this as often as you eat it in remembrance of me’. I ask that as I partake of this bread that I partake of all that it represents to you and that you will teach me what this means and what the Covenant entails." Take the bread, break it and eat it soberly and thoughtfully considering all your sins and wrong doing.
Then take a cup of the grape juice or wine and pray "Father, I recall that after supper Yahooshua took the cup and gave it to those who followed him and said 'This is my blood shed for you and for many for forgiveness of sin, do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.' I ask that as I partake of this cup that I partake of all that it represents to you and, in particular I ask that you forgive me all my sins, all that I have done that I ought not to have done and all that I have not done that I ought to have done. I ask that where there is sin that I need to deal with specifically that you will bring it to my attention and guide me in dealing with it. I also ask that you will cover me with the Blood of the Covenant from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and also cover my dwelling and all that I own and have beneficial use of with the Blood of the Covenant. I ask this in the name of Yahooshua, Amen."
I have spoken in previous messages of the importance of repentance. I have spoken about restitution. If you have stolen things, Father may require you to return them. If you have stolen money or no longer have the physical things that you stole, you may be required to pay back money and that may be significant, it may be threefold restitution. You may have to go and apologise to people. In an extreme case, if you are in adultery and you are living together and there is no basis for the woman to get divorce from the man who she has the covenant with, you may have to split up and she may have to go back to her husband.
If as you are praying you become conscious of sin, immediately confess it and repent "Father I recall that …, I now recognize that I have sinned, I deeply repent and ask you to forgive me." If this is your first experience of this you could spend several hours repenting. Have a pen and a notebook to hand so that you can make notes, you may find that you need to contact people to repent and ask forgiveness, and restore things that you have stolen, etc.
When you have finished praying drink the grape juice or wine, dip your forefinger in the cup and apply a small amount to the back of your neck, your forehead, your tongue, your eyelids, the lobe of your right ear, the thumb of your right hand and the big toe of your right foot praying as you do so, "Father I ask you to seal my brain with the blood of the covenant, seal my tongue and all that I say, seal my eyes and all that I see, seal my ears and all that I hear, seal my hands and all that I write and covenant and seal my feet and guide me everywhere I walk."
These are powerful prayers. They are very symbolic. They send a message to the Satanic realm to take their hands off you. They send a message to the Almighty that you are serious about serving Him, that you want to clean up your act. I again refer you to the previous teaching on prayer and the section on prayers on the website.
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator -- Recap
So that is all for today. Just to recap, we have looked at the subject of taking a quality decision.
We have discussed having a deep settled assurance that the Almighty exists.
We have discussed an approach to reaching a decision.
We have talked about asking for confirmation.
We have talked about the Trash Heap of Heaven, which is where people end up who make a decision and then do nothing with it.
We have said that praying to an indeterminate entity like God or the LORD is not acceptable.
We have said that in the initial stages you should expect opposition and in order to overcome the opposition you should deal with all sin and then I referred you to what I have said in previous teachings of my own experience where having dealt with all sin and being faced with massive Demonic opposition, the Demons were unable to touch me. So once you get to a place where you are above sin, then the Satanic realm cannot touch you and then the opposition will stop. But it takes time to get there. If you are in lack at the moment and you are a believer, you need to sort out the sin that is getting in the way there.
We said that when somebody first comes to belieF, there are seven days of Grace and that if you are a person who leads people to belief, you should be aware of that and should fully support them in that period of Grace. We have talked about rehearsing the covenant. It is very, very powerful. It is very, very important.
To recap, what I have been talking about here today is drawing close to the Almighty and the ultimate goal there is to become His Friend. A Friend earnestly, intentionally, and actively seeks relationship and cares deeply for their Friend. I challenge you to get to a place where you do that towards your Father in Heaven.

2019.05.01 Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator -- Part 2 -- Prayer
Summary
This Broadcast continues the detailed analysis of the Seven Areas of Engagement that are necessary to develop a DEEP Personal Relationship with the Almighty Creator. The Programme wraps up the discussion on Decision and then moves on to discuss some really important prayers and some important principles with regard to prayer.
Preamble
Good day!
The Almighty Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You!
The Almighty has said regarding unbelievers, "Why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do not believe I exist?" So if you do not believe that the Almighty exists, you might want to think about that.
If you are a believer, He has said, "Why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority if they do not have a Deep Personal Relationship with me, and have not proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?" I will give you that for your consideration. Why should you expect to be close to Father in a splendid place in Heaven if you are not making the effort in this life? It does not make sense, does it? If you want to be in a prestigious place in Heaven, you are going to need to do work in this life.
Tonight's programme, "Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty, Part 2" we are looking at specific actionable steps that you can take to draw close to the Almighty. In that context, the Almighty has said, "I created human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost no person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!" This programme is intended to help you have such a relationship.
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator -- Overview
So an overview of tonight's programme, we will wrap up on the discussion on Decision that we started last week.
We will look at prayer on your knees, the best way to hear, prayers are not necessarily answered instantly or at all.
We will discuss how the Rules of Engagement restrict Father Yah, the Almighty.
We will talk about the prayer, "Show me the level of my present deception," prayer "Lead me into all truth by Your Spirit."
We will talk a little bit about the website, which provides many answers.
We will talk about Judgement in this life.
We will talk about the prayer "Judge me severely and correct me harshly."
We will talk about the prayer, "Bring the people you want into my life and take those that you do not want in my life out."
We will talk a bit about what happens if you miss it, and we will talk about asking Father to open doors and close doors and also pray for advancement in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Introduction
A way of introduction, who am I? James Robertson, I have a PhD in Civil Engineering, 25 years Management Consulting experience in South Africa, currently Chief Operating Officer with a small group of companies in the UK.
I have spent nearly 26 years actively seeking to draw close to the Almighty.
What is End Time Issue Ministries? It is the organisational vehicle for delivering my message. We run a number of websites. I have a number of email lists and I publish articles generally at least once a week in terms of my thinking, this radio program and hopefully within short space of time, we will start to have some physical books, also available through the Ministry.
This programme, "The Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You" is really about helping anybody who decides they want to get to know the Almighty to do that. See the website, www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org for more information.
Questions from Last Week's Programme
Some questions from last week's program:
"Will others give us opposition or will we get it from evil?" Well, the fact is that the opposition will come from the spirit realm, but it will generally be delivered by human beings. So as I have discussed just about every human being on the planet has Demons, a vast majority of believers have a bunch of Demons. Those Demons will get people to do all sorts of things, to get aggressive, to get angry, to lie, cheat, steal, get physically abusive. So if we have sin in our lives, we open the door for Satan's Demons to come against us through other people. Yes, there are also Satanic Angels, Satanic Messengers who can attack us directly, cause accidents and so forth, cause your car to go off the road and there are Satan's servants, Satanists, which are Warlocks, etc., human beings alive today who will do things. In some cases, they will actually come out and actively seek to kill people. So opposition comes from a number of fronts, but it is driven by the Satanic Demonic realm.
"How do we seek the truth?" Well, I am going to talk in a few minutes about some prayers that you can pray in order to seek the truth. Listening to this broadcast is hopefully a step in the right direction. The Website contains a lot of information. Seeking truth is first and foremost about taking a quality decision to seek truth. Praying the right prayers, doing the right things, and working at it day in and day out. It is about becoming sensitised that all lies are from Satan. If you really want a deep relationship with Father, you have got to get rid of those lies.
Next question, "In listening to this show, will I get closer to the almighty?" I hope so. That is really my intention is to help you get closer to the Almighty. I like to believe that I have got some useful experience. I like to believe I am sharing that on this programme and as I have said before, if you want support, please email me at James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org. I will certainly do all I can to help you. We can chat on Skype. We can chat on the phone, exchange emails. I will do everything I can to help you if you sincerely want to get closer to the Almighty.
Next question: "Is that what this show is, is this teaching to get us on the right track to the almighty?" Yes, I certainly believe that it is. That is my intention and I hope that that is helping you.
Next question: "If we are new here how will we get the other shows?" I hope to have them on my website in the next few weeks. In addition, you can go to the website, www.RelationshipWithCreatorRadio.com. On the Menu at the top right hover over "The Show" and then click on "Podcasts on iHeart Radio" and you will get all the previous broadcasts.
Body of Article
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator
So our topic today is “Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator” and in that context the Creator has said, "I created human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost no person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!" As I have said, the objective of this programme is to sensitise you to this and to challenge you to take the necessary steps to get close to Father. This is an invitation that is open to every single human being on the planet today, will you take that on? Will you seek to become Father's Friend? It is absolutely doable. It is there for you and the reward is huge. Not in this life, but in the life to come.
Father has also said, "The Rules of Engagement between myself (Yah) and Satan prevent me telling you anything you do not know unless you ask me or do something to put yourself in a place to hear new information from me." So in considering this message, Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator, it is vital to understand how corrupt this world is and how much the Forces of Darkness, the Satanic and Demonic realm are in control of the Earth. If one is ignorant of this, one cannot hope to really walk in victory in this life. This series of programmes seeks to address in some detail the measures that one can take to overcome the corrupt state of the environment in which we are forced to operate. It is so important to understand this folks. Six thousand and a few years ago, when Satan rebelled in Heaven and father was about to cast him and his followers into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone to be destroyed, he challenged Father to this thing, which we now call "The Contest" and basically he said, "If you put me on Earth with these human beings you are about to create for 7,000 years I will see that not one of them believes you exist at the end of the 7,000 years." Father took him up on this challenge threw Satan and billions of Satanic Messengers to Earth and Satan set about systematically corrupting humankind and he has been way more successful than Father imagined that he would be. The result is that the world is corrupt, it is full of sickness, disease, disasters, all sorts of bad behaviours, stealing, lying, fornication, blasphemy, you name it. The world is a huge mess because Satan is in control in the Satanic realm, the Seven Demonic Masterminds are in control while Satan is in the pit. Only by people coming to a deep relationship with Father that they can turn the captivity of these people, prepare the way for Yahooshua {Jesus} to return at the end of the millennium in about 3003. I did mean that 3003, in other words, 986 or something like that years from now.
Section 1: Decision continued
Metaphor
So to wrap up on the discussion of decision in the last programme, it is important to realise that in communicating with us because of we are so corrupt and because we know so little that Father makes extensive use of metaphor and physical world parallels to teach us and to communicate with us, do not be distracted or put off by this. It is simply part of the challenge for him in communicating with us in our messed up state on this corrupt planet. And that said, if you get really close take to Him, He will speak to you in plain English or whatever your mother tongue is and you can have detailed conversations with him without the metaphor without all the pictures etc. that he uses so often to communicate with. The sort of thing I am thinking about is if you read the book 'The Final Quest' by Rick Joyner, he depicts the Kingdom of Heaven as a very jagged mountain and I have used that image in the cover for this programme and on the cover of my new book, Heaven is not the mountain. The mountain is a form of communication. It is a model to demonstrate principles and it is so important when Father speaks to us indirectly in this way, do not get stuck on the medium that He has used to communicate with us. Do not get stuck on this or that.
Get the message, get to the fundamentals.
Clean Up
One of the things that I am going to talk about in some detail over the next few weeks is the need to clean up. Once you start this journey, be very alert to any thoughts that you may have about wrongs that you have committed, people you need to apologise to, things you may have stolen that you may need to return and so forth. Generally this will open the door to a lengthy process of dealing with sin over a number of years as you become aware of issues you need to deal with. This may happen in a much shorter period if you really go for it or a much longer period if you are slack, it may never happen. It depends on your willingness to take the uncomfortable steps that follow when you start to become aware of sin.
Note that should you take the measures in the first seven days after you first believe, the cleaning up process will be much quicker and easier. So if you are such a person, I encourage you to go for it. In the first seven days after believing I encourage you to take the bread and wine morning and evening every day. Even if you have returned to Father or taken on a much more intense commitment, I would encourage you take the bread and wine morning and evening every day for seven days. You might feel impressed to keep doing this daily for weeks, months or years. I have had periods where I have taken the bread and wine morning and evening daily for months at a time. Folks, a lot of this is symbolic, a lot of it is metaphor and it is important to understand that. Father finds it is necessary to work through metaphor and symbolism because that is what the Satanic Demonic realm understands. So much of this turns on the words we use, words we pray, the casual careless words that we speak and so forth.
Section 2: Prayer
The second component of drawing close to the Almighty of these Seven Components is prayer. So the next step is to start praying prayers that are necessary for the Almighty to start moving in your life and guiding you. I have spoken previously at some length about prayer, but given how critical appropriate prayers are in drawing close to Father and staying close to Him, I have decided to go into detail again. On your knees is the best way to hear Him.
On Your Knees – The Best Way to Hear
As a general rule the best position for prayers is on your knees before Father. This is also the best position to hear Him clearly. This position is a meaningful statement of humility towards the most powerful being in the entire universe and it also helps you to get your mind right and hear more clearly. If you make a quality decision to serve Him in response to these Broadcasts it is probable that you will spend many hours on your knees confessing your sins, asking questions, etc. That said, note that you can pray any place any time in any position. Your knees is simply a good place to be if you are really seeking answers. Flat on your face on the floor can also be a good position if you really need to humble yourself, but in my experience knees is best.
I get on my knees just about every night before I get into bed just to put myself in a place where I am really able to hear Father. I hear Him reasonably clearly pretty much all the time, but I get so wrapped up in everything else that is going on and that sometimes I get preoccupied with my worldly concerns and do not really hear Him. Taking a few minutes just to get on my knees at the end of every day just puts me in a position where He really can speak to me if there is something I need to hear. Whether it is encouragement or whether it is warning me that I am out of line on some subject or giving me guidance. It is possible to become His Friend and still humble yourself and get on your knees. Do not misunderstand me, He is the most powerful being in existence. You need to show Him proper respect.
As with all of the things that I am talking about here, it is up to you to craft the mix of postures, etc. that you adopt as you develop your relationship with the Almighty. I cannot stress that enough, there is no recipe book. What I am sharing with you is not a recipe book. It is a collection of practices, processes, prayers, things that you can do to get close to Father, but I am not claiming that it is a recipe that if you do this and then do this and then do this. There are a whole a lot of intangibles like your heart attitude, how you approach it, how you approach Father. Each one of us has to craft our own journey. Other people can help us, but at the end of the day, it is up to you to determine your relationship with Him and to get close to Him.
Prayers are Not Necessarily Answered Instantly, or At All
It is important to recognise that prayers are not necessarily answered instantly or at all. While some prayers may be answered very soon after you pray them, others take much longer to be answered. For example, a prayer like "Father I ask you to give me wisdom" should be prayed regularly, I would say daily, and I prayed that prayer daily for decades. It may take years before you become aware that you are wiser than you were before you started praying that prayer through learning experiences that are coming your way since you first started praying it. Other times it can take months or years for Father to set up the answer. I have had prayers and questions answered halfway across the world and it sometimes took a lot of organisation to get me there. Note that you should also be praying "Father let your will be done in my life." It is very easy to pray things that are not Father’s will and either not receive a response or have your foolish or presumptuous prayer answered by the Satanic realm. In particular, do not instruct your Father or tell Him what to do and do not pray your will. So many people think they know what is best for themselves or the people around them and give Father a lecture in terms of telling Him to do things and as often with the best of intentions.
The thing to do when it comes to prayer with Father is to understand He knows a huge amount more than you do. And He knows what is best. In the prayers that we are going to talk about later in this session and next week, I hope you will notice that it is all about giving Him the right and the authority and the permission to do what He chooses to do in your life. Step aside from your will and let his will be done. I touched earlier on the Rules of Engagement with regard to the Contest.
The Rules of Engagement restrict Father Yah
It is so important to understand that this massively restricts Father. Remember that in terms of the Rules of Engagement, Father Yah cannot do anything in your life unless He has the consent of a human being preferably yourself and He cannot say anything to you that is outside the realms of what you believe without the consent of a human being and again, primarily yourself. No other human being can speak into your life unless they have some authority. So your father, your mother, your child to a point, maybe close relatives, may be somebody that you have a spiritual covenant with where you have agreed to support one another or a support partner of some sort, but basically very little is going to happen in your life unless you pray it. And if you do not pray it or you do not pray or do not seek to get close to Father, do not be surprised if you get a nasty shock when you come to the end of your life and you are out in the Outer Darkness or the foolish virgins or one of the places of no esteem in Heaven. Do not rely on the prayers of other people to fix your life. You may have a mother or father or some close relative or a wife or a husband who intercedes intensely for you and maybe that has brought you to this place, but at the end of the day, you need to do the hard work. You need to pray the prayers, you need to be obedient to the prayers, you need to be sensitive to the prayers.
Show Me the Level of My Present Deception
An important prayer in the context of the earlier discussion, "Show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it." In the context of The Contest and The Rules of Engagement, if you believe that the Bible is the Living Word of God and without error, the Almighty is constrained to operate within that belief and cannot tell you that you are mistaken unless you give Him permission to operate outside the boundaries of what you currently know and believe by praying a prayer like "Father I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it" and pray this regularly. Do not just pray that sort of prayer once, prayer it daily frankly. Generally as I will share later in the programme, just the prayer on its own is not enough. You need to fast. You need to fast and pray and ask Father to lead you into all truth. You need to ask Him to show you the level of your present deception, and you need to be sensitive to correction.
I started praying this prayer in around 1998 and I still pray it regularly today. As a consequence, I have received dramatic revelation of all sorts of errors and what I believed at the time I started praying this prayer. Note that it is not humanly possible to deal with the consequences of sin of praying such a prayer to be shown deception in one instalment. It is a step at a time. It is an incremental process. Father is constrained by limitations to teach us step-by-step as we are willing to learn and adjust. There is no point in praying "Show me the level of my present deception" unless you are willing to course correct. There is little point in praying it once. Pray it daily if you are serious.
Lead me into ALL truth by Your Spirit
Another important prayer, "Lead me into all truth by Your Spirit." Yahooshua {Jesus} said that the Holy Spirit, the Set-Apart Spirit will come to lead us into all truth. It is possible to come to all truth in the context of your life, not all truth in the context of the Universe, all truth in the context of your life, what you need to know about the Almighty. Again, it takes time, this should be prayed in conjunction with "Show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it." Note that just praying "Lead me into all truth" and believing that you have all truth because you prayed is foolish and dangerous. It takes years of dedicated effort and praying and fasting and looking at what you believe and looking at other sources to really clean up your act.
The End Time Issues Ministries Website Provides Many Answers
The End Time Issue Ministries website provides many answers. Note that answers to prayers, such as these can take various forms and can take days, weeks, months, years or decades to be fulfilled. If Father had shown me the level of my deception all at once the first time I prayed the above prayers, I do not know if I could have handled it, and I certainly would not have known what to do with all the mountains of revelation that followed in the next four years in particular. Once you pray the above prayers you will find that my website, www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org contains answers to many questions that you may ask and this should assist you to fast track dealing with many of the more commonly occurring errors.
A few indicators: See the table of contents which is in the right-hand sidebar and there is also a table of contents page in the Menu for a listing of over 700 webpages on diverse topics. See the Article Keyword Cloud for keywords on many of these articles as an alternative point of entry into the articles and also Menu item. See the list of articles prior to 2009 for over 400 articles written between 1999 and 2009 which address numerous issues that are not discussed elsewhere on the site and which trace my journey from being a heavily committed Christian with many supernatural experiences to a heavily committed believer in the Creator. Use the Google site search in the right-hand sidebar to search particular topics across the entire site. There is also an Article Search in the sidebar.
The Important Insights page lists a significant number of important pieces of information that Father shared with me. These are direct quotes that the Almighty spoke to me in a period of a couple of months when I was hearing Him more clearly than I have ever heard Him before or since. All the articles will hopefully be published in physical books shortly.
Judgment in this Life
I want to talk about judgement in this life. I have spoken about it before, but it is really important to understand this. A key reason why the above resources are important relates to a fundamental principle of serving the Almighty and that is Judgement in this life. The moment you choose to serve the Almighty, the Forces of Darkness will focus attention on you with the intention of misleading you or, if possible, destroying you before you become a threat to them. One of the most effective tools available to them is Judgement in this life. Simply put, the Almighty presides over the Court of Heaven. Satan and his cohorts appear in the Court as Prosecutor, Satan is in the Pit but the Demonic masterminds and their allies act as Prosecutors today and they bring charges against living human beings, primarily believers. Yahooshua, who you may know as Jesus incorrectly, as the Advocate argues in defence and in mitigation of sentence by way of Mercy and Grace for young and inexperienced believers and the Almighty hands down appropriate sentences that are executed by the Satanic Forces or by the Messengers, Angels of Heaven. This can range from a minor sentence like causing you to trip and fall through to major sentence such as a serious illness, a motor accident, or in extreme cases death.
The severity of the sentence is in direct proportion to the severity of your sin and your level of maturity. A new believer is accorded considerable Mercy and Grace while a believer who has been walking with Father for decades will be judged more severely. In many cases, particularly with mature believers, the Forces of Darkness will bide their time until a significant level of sin has accumulated so they can obtain a severe sentence that they hope will neutralise or take out the believer concerned.
Judge me Severely and Correct me Harshly
Another very important prayer, "Father judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly." The simplest solution to the reality of judgement in this life is to avoid sin. Problem is that the day one starts on this journey, one is almost totally ignorant of what real sin is. I have spoken at length about the Commandments and pointed out that a lot of what we believe about the Ten Commandments and what we are taught in a Christian context is incorrect. Accordingly study and prayer, as above, are of paramount importance. Coupled to this possibly the most powerful prayer there is in terms of seeking to overcome is "Father I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly."
At first glance this may look like an extremely high risk prayer, it is not. Father has a fundamental principle that He will not allow His children to be tested beyond what they can endure. I first prayed this prayer in around 1998 and I have prayed it regularly on and off since then. I have never experienced a judgement that I have not been able to handle, recovered from, learnt from, course correct from, and grow from. This prayer prevents the Forces of Darkness from controlling judgement in your life, and places the control in the hands of our Merciful and Loving Heavenly Father. This also permits Him to judge us immediately so that we can deal with issues as they occur without them heaping up or walking long distances in the wrong direction. If you are serious about serving the Almighty, I strongly commend "Father I ask you judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly" as a daily prayer.
Bring the people you want into my life and take those that you do NOT want in my life out
Another important prayer: "Bring the people you want into my life and take those that you do not want in my life out." One of the things that I learned early on in my intense walk with Father was that I was not a good judge of character and that there were people around me who were not helpful to me in my walk with Him. Accordingly, for the first time in 1995, I prayed Father “I ask you to bring the people you want into my life, and to take the people out of my life that you do not want in my life out”. In the first year, He removed one of my business partners, several of my staff, my wife, and various other people. In each case, as He took them out, in most cases, they left without me doing anything, Father revealed hidden agendas and spiritual issues that were getting in my way of serving Him. When one prays prayers such as those presented so far, one must be sensitive. You have asked Father to take charge in big areas, expect Him to act on those, not in a presumptions way, but in a faith-filled way. So when a person starts acting up in strange ways and threatening to resign or leave, let them go! If the strife in your marriage suddenly escalates to a point where you discover treachery then get divorced. And so on as things unfold.
Continuing on the subject of “bring the people you want into my life and take those that you do not want in my life out”. These prayers frequently do not require that you audibly hear anything from Father. Only that you discern that you are being led in a way that is an answer to what you have prayed. If you find yourself in a bookshop with time to spare, perceive there is probably a book there that Father wants you to read, turn to Him for guidance, go to whatever shelf attracts your attention, pick up whatever book catches your eye, open it wherever it opens and you may find the answer to a question. I have had this happen thousands of miles from home as the way that Father used to answer a particular question. I have even had Him do this in ways that have answered questions that I did not know existed and have been taught accordingly. Once one prays these important directional prayers, one opens the door for all sorts of developments in one’s life.
Folks, this is exciting stuff. You can radically change the way you live your life by praying these prayers and being obedient to the leading that you receive in response to these prayers. You are not on your own. Father is there to help you. You have to choose to let Him help you.
If You Miss It
There is a bit of a counterpoint, if you miss it. At the same time, if you are not willing to be sensitive and obedient do not pray these prayers, you will bring judgment upon yourself if you pray these prayers and then fail to respond to the answers. Apart from anything else, Father will soon lose interest in answering your prayers. If, as you read this you realize that you are guilty of asking for guidance and then ignoring the guidance when it occurred, pray immediately "Father, I realize that I have ignored your guidance in such and such situation, I repent and ask you to forgive me." He is gracious and oft forgiving and He will grant forgiveness for genuine repentance.
Note, however, that if you get into an ongoing rebellion and disobedience you will eventually reach a point of total rejection from which there is no recovery. Once you have crossed that line Father will cease to have anything to do with you, the Forces of Darkness will use you to serve whatever purpose serves them and at the end of your life you will be judged and sent to Hell for all your unconfessed sin and once you have paid the price for your unconfessed sin you will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where in a moment of torment and terror you will be utterly consumed and cease to exist. Do not pray prayers like those suggested here if you are not serious.
That said, it is quite possible to pray such a prayer and to miss it in sincerity. So if you are watching out doing your best and you make mistakes, go back to Father, confess your mistake, repent, ask for forgiveness, course correct, get back on track. He is very compassionate, He is very loving, He is very kind, He is very gentle. He wants you to succeed and as long as you are doing what is necessary, He will meet you more than halfway.
Open Doors and Close Doors
Another important prayer regarding opening and closing of doors, another very effective directional prayer is "Father I ask you to open the doors in my life that you want opened that no man or spirit can close and to close the doors that you want closed that no man or spirit can open." This allows Father to direct you in diverse ways. Be prepared to change jobs, change home, change country, whatever Father deems appropriate to your best interests in His service. Discern what is happening correctly and constantly ask for guidance. Father wants you to succeed. Note that you can always slam doors Father has opened and you can break open doors that He has closed.
A point that I would stress is it is very difficult for Father to direct and steer us if we are standing arms folded, legs akimbo, saying Father where do you want me to go? At some point, you need to discern the leading He has given you. It may be faint. You may not be entirely sure, but start out at least gingerly putting one foot in front of the other metaphorically down what you think is the right road through the door that you think is opening in front of you. As you go you will become more certain that you are going in the right road or you will become aware that you are going on the wrong road. Father will guide you. This is not a snappy, click your fingers magic thing. This is about you learning to be led by Father Spirit in a corrupt and very difficult to understand world.
Prayer for Advancement
Assuming that you have listened this far because you are serious about serving Father, the next prayer to consider is "Father help me to become a wise steward, a good and faithful servant, and an Overcomer to the end of my life. Help me to become your Friend for Eternity." If your ambitions is not to go all the way to Friend with the commitment and sacrifice that entails, then stop wherever you are comfortable stopping. Each of these categories is closer to Father in Heaven, carries greater prestige, rank and authority and greater responsibility and accountability and greater opposition and challenges in this life. You decide how far you want to go.
The ranks up from the Workers of Iniquity, those in the Outer Darkness is the Foolish Virgins those who know Father exists but do things their way. The vast majority of Church, Mosque, and Synagogue going believers sit in this category. They make no real effort to know Father's will and to do it. In fact, most Pastors, Priests, Imams, and Rabbis are also in this category as well. The number of people who are seeking at least enough of a relationship with Father to know His will and to do it is very small.
So what about you? Where are you going to aim for? The "Foolish Virgins" are those who at a basic level are prepared and seeking to do Father’s will but they never get beyond the basics. They have not been filled with the Spirit of the Almighty. In other words, they have not allowed Father in. They have an intellectual knowledge but no spiritual connection. This may be a reflection of ignorance. There have been some powerful traditional church people who got stuck at this level.
The following categories are all filled with the Spirit of Yah at some level:
The "Wise Stewards" are those who are starting to do something material for Father in accordance with His will, not the teachings of the Church or the Pastor, or the Imam or the Rabbi or whoever.
The "Good and Faithful Servants" are those who are going out of their way to serve Father, they are really making an effort, they are obedient even unto death, they are really going for it.
The "Overcomers" are those who have got to a place of overcoming sin in their lives. They are overcoming the obstacles that the Forces of Darkness are bringing against them. They are conquering and ruling with the Spirit of the Almighty within them.
If you read the Book of Revelation in the Bible, there are, I think, eight references to those that Overcome, to the rewards that there are for them and one of the great rewards is that Father says they will get to sit on a Throne with Him for Eternity. Those who sit on Thrones rule over cities, solar systems, planetary systems. They have great prestige, esteem, great authority and they have worked hard in this life to get there. There are roughly 20 people on this planet today, that is 20 people out of more than 7 billion people who if everything came to an end at this instant would make it as overcomers. It is a minute number. Are you willing to go for that? Are you willing to deal with the obstacles that there are in the way? Are you willing to lay down your life to serve Father? It is worth it. It is hard work but it is worth it.
Seven Components of Drawing Close to the Almighty Creator -- Recap
So our time is up. Just to recap, we closed off the discussion on Decision. We have been talking about prayer.
We said that on your knees is the best way to hear.
We have said that prayers are not necessarily answered instantly or may not be answered at all.
We have discussed how the rules of engagement restrict Father Yah and what He can do in your life.
We have talked about the prayer "Show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it."
We have talked about the prayer "Lead me into all truth by your spirit."
We have talked about the Website which provides many answers, the result of decades of learning on my part which have been documented in a way that hopefully you will be able to find answers to many of your questions.
We have talked about judgement in this life, which we have discussed in more detail a few weeks ago.
We have talked about the prayer "Judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly" and how important that is if you are really serious about serving Father. If somebody said to me, I could only pray one prayer for the rest of my life, I think I would pray that prayer. It gives Father blanket permission to act in your life, and if you are sensitive and obedient, it will help you enormously.
We spoke about the prayer "Bring the people you want into my life and take those that you do not want in my life out."
We talked about what happens if you miss it.
We talked about the prayer about opening and closing doors and we talked about praying for advancement and we will talk more next week about that prayer and its out workings.
I really hope that this has challenged you to look in detail at how you live your life in your relationship with Father.
Wrapping Up
Five Key Documents
On the website, five key documents behind the Home Menu item in the top left-hand corner of the website. "The Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with you," the fundamental message that this whole programme is based on.
"Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Creator," which is what we are working through at the moment. You can get ahead of what I am teaching by going to that document on the website.
"Recommended Worship," it is so important that you worship correctly, that you sing the right songs. The collection there of about 20 songs that I use daily and that I recommend.
"The Creator's Name is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing." Understand how deeply the name of Yah permeated the lives of believers a few thousand years ago and how chronically we have lost sight of His name and how we abuse and misuse His name, not even knowing that it is His name. Things like Yahoo.com which is a blasphemous name, breaks the Third Commandment.
"Where will you Spend Eternity? -- What is required in order to qualify to sit on a High Throne for eternity?" Really important and I hope to talk about that in a few weeks' time.
All of this available at www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org, behind the Homepage Menu item.
Books of teachings in course of preparation, regular email lists, regular emails sent out with articles. Email me at James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org to be placed on the mailing list or if you really are moved to draw close to Father, contact me for whatever support I can give you. Visit the Website and visit the Homepage for more information.
Close
So in closing, thank you for listening. Please send me your questions on the W4CY webpage. I will answer them in the next broadcast. Please email me to join the mailing list. As I have said, I am compiling a collection of my writings. Email me if you would like to obtain a copy. The first volume contains my most important writings. It is available now as a PDF and hopefully shortly as a physical printed book. If you decide to draw close to the Almighty, please let me know and we can connect by Skype and email so that I can help you with your journey.
I hope to connect with you again next week when we will more deeply explore how to become a Friend of the Creator. I want to say again what I have said on previous programmes, it does not matter what the colour of your skin is, it does not matter what your race is, it does not matter your age, it does not matter your level of education, Father wants to meet you where you are right now and become your Friend.
The question is, will you take a quality decision and will you do all the things that are necessary to become his Friend? Will you do all the things that I am talking about in this programme? Will you pray all the prayers that we have spoken about today and then be sensitive and obedient to the leading that comes from those prayers? It is entirely possible for you to qualify to sit on a very High Throne with the Almighty, with Yahooshua {Jesus} for Eternity IF you will do what is necessary and it does not matter if you are Muslim, Christian, or Jewish or any other religion. It is there for you right now. Good night!
